CARUSO THE TENOR.

WEEPS HOT TEAEa Caruso, the tenor, is very angry. He has just discovered (says a Pans correspondent} that while ho was at the other end of the world on enemy slandered him in a Vienna paper by alleging that he had written a letter affirming that all his sympathies were with the Germans. “■ He has sworn to have, the blood of his traducor. and in a letter from •Florence to his friend, Signor Camillo Travers!, in Parts, ho writes;

“The invention was a cowardly act, hut the comments on it call for vengeance to the knife. Believe mo, my dear Camillo, I cried with rage and with hot tears; and if ever 1 succeed in discovering who has slandered mo in this way, 1 assure you that the whole world will sneak of me.

“Before I die of a broken heart I hope that the good God will, permit me the satisfaction of giving as a present to Satan the soul of him who wished for a single instant to make the world believe that I was not an Italian.”
