From being the best amusement Sy in the couatr, Chicago bas become one of the warsh. Thesirics!s are almost desd. Only the most extaordinary attractions draw paying bousee. What is. the reason ? There sre sev- enl obvions emotgh, and athers perbaps not easy to define. 1In the first place, it is apparent Sat the pati- s sad good-pature of the “ago ihesire oing public have been wmiy sbused. Managers " nave waxed & and insolvent. Grest gains have mis (hem gresdy rather than gratefal. Iostesd of laving out & fair proportion of their moame for the beneSit of their patrons, they rs been graduslly contracting expenses at erey available point. It has become almost 4 rovesb that anything i8 good enough for Chi- ngo. Stock companies bave been thrust apon e which the Bmall cities of the East would not falernte for s moment.

CHICAGO 15 IN A TRARSITION STATE between provineialism and metropolitanism. Her ‘puaple bave been grubs ; they are becoming but- Wefies. It is Dot surprising tbat, while the thanga is beiog effected, they should sink into Jetargy. Those whose busincse it is to cater to thetastes of the public ehould be making prop- \mations to Btis(y an enlarged and more delicate tats. Do mot, O mansgers, give provincisl thestrioals in & meiropolis! Onco try the ex-~ - peciment of engeging & company of artists, fit toplay jo your eplendid theatres, and, if you do motthen emcceed, retire from the business attggather. Certaioly such a retreat would be 0 mwe dsastrous than the continoance of the present polics. It is all & mistake to eay, or £apposs, that appeals £0 the cultivazed people of Chicago are use{ess,—that it is money, not dis- poation t¢ patronize the theatres, which is lack- itg. Persons who talk mn this msnner probabiy doaot know many caltivated people in Chicago, and are not in & position to speak intelligently for the class. 1he wealthy and liberal-minded peopie of Chicago do na¢ sttend the tueatres zepularly, because they have becn imposed upon too often. Thev know a good thing when they sesit, tod & bad thing when they see it. They knos, moreover, that they sre much mors likely to ses 8 bad thing than s good thing when they go to & %hx«:;ge theatre. They bave mopey enough; if they had not, they would find 1t in order to gratify themselves. Feorle ¥bo patronize the tbeatres most largely in Eastern cities belong to upper-tendom. The moe clagees here, if they conld be roached and incted, would not mina a Gollar more or less, tbough the times are pretty hard, and we have hadboth & fire and & panie. On other grounds, Maa, the srgument that Chicago theatres are not well patromzed bocanse Chicsgo people lack moaey, falls to the ground. The large salaried- 18 in al the same circumstances now as years ago. The persons who compose it @ well aford o go to the theatre now as &er; and they wonld afford it, £oo, if they were umys fairly treated.

S CLOETNG OF THE CHICAGO THEATHE. The foregoing obsersations may help to ex- Paiathe poor success of the Chicago Thestre. Ihl-}'u certainly an experiment in the right di- Teetion, The theatre itself is s besatiful little Fitce—a charming and attractive as the parior of sfriend. Tne company also was good. It ineloded persocs who have a recognized stand- n_‘ll_flhspmle::siun. who command high sala-~ Hea;and who are worth ail they receive. Still, vith theso advantages, the theatre did not pay E1pensae. It is 8sid that the manzgers lost $13,- i the six weeks that the theatre was open. m?“ma they bad to contend with isposition of Chicago people not to Peuonize theatres; aod, further, becsuse the mnmf the New Chicago Theatre was {hat3p"te aod Elundering from the start.

It dmirably located for the purpose. Whather it will payremaing to be seen. The mew company, which has been ad- vertised at some expense, is ona of the worst that ever sppeared in Chicago, and the play they have seen fit to produce is scarcely deserving ths name. Those who are indebted tothe Academy for many fine opportunities m the past will regret to ses it devoted to it pres- ent uses, Their hops will be that the reign of blood-and-thunder will be ouly temporary, and that the era of prosperity which prevailed during the engugements of Toole, Sothorn, sud Ray- mond will soon be revived. The people of Cbi- cago ought not to forget bow mach they owe to ine past management of {he Academy. *‘THE TWO ORPHANS™ aro the most tiresome bezgars that ever afitioted 2 lopg-suffering public. The play is played outin this city—for the present, at least. Raokin'sand Hali's companies have departed for the prev- inces, where they will doubtlesa have apundant success. The proceedings in court, toward thoe last, becawe trivial and puerile. It was shown that Rankin hed purchased the Oxenford version, ‘but that come of his actors continued to ues tha Hart Jackson version. The infringements were not material, consisting of the use of such words as “do,” *‘almost.” ‘“any,” “why”; and such variations as *What mean you?” fustead of “What do you mean?” Shendan Bhook & Co. have destroyed the reputation of Mr. Hart Jackson as an suthor, if he ever had any. His clayms to ** The Two Orphaps™ mre preposter- ous, Ha is probably as much an autbor as soy- ‘body who can read Fraench and trausiate it tofer- abiy, and no more. The Oxenford version is older than his, a0d probably bettor; and furthor proceedings 1n cours against the owners of it will amount almost to persecution. STAR LEOTURE-COURSE. To-morrow night, at the mnew Plymounth Church, on Michigan avenne near Twenty-fifth streat. the first of the twenty-seven entertain- ments of this popular courss will be given, with thie following programme : Overturo— Btradella,” adapted for or- gan by. 1.

Btepbe 18, of Georgia. NATIVE TALEST. Miss Etta Monroe, & young lady from Colora- do, of extraaxdinary talent as so elocutionist, bas come to Chicago to reside. Both in humor- ous and tragic readings, 28 well asin * dialect,” she displass remarkable nataral tslent joined . with equally remarkable dramatic ability. Thero are very fowr of the professionsl rezders on tho stago who display the proticiency alresdy’ at- tained by this lady without study. We hope thet sn opportunity may ba sccorded her of sp- pearing 1p public, for such pronounced ability as she possesses deserves more than private roc- ognition. ANYOUNGEMENTS AND NOTES. 1t is currently rumored that Hooley and Ma- guire have quarreled, and are seeking to dissolve their grand combinstion. The report is woll authenticated. . It is within the honnds of prob- ability. Mr. C. A. Mc¥anus is raipdly bringing somo order out of the confusion on the Museum stage. He will probably succesd in making an enter- tainment that will fulfill some of the promises beld cut in the glaring advertisements of the managers. The loss of the New Chicago company will in no respect be more saverely felt thaa in the de~ parture of Alr. Thomas Whiffin, who seemed to be one of those raro comedians that come only = intervals to Chicago. He is quite warthy to take rank with Crane. The minstrels drew crowded honses throngh the week, the popular interest in their per- formance showing no abatement in consequence of the departure of Emerson, An excelient bill ig promised for this week. Arlington and Rice are given plenty to do. **The Two Off-ums ™ will be continued : and a new burleagne, ' Run- ning Aronnd & Corner,” mll be introduced. Messrs. Brodersen and Grew have lmg}zud a course of entertainments to be given in_AcCor- mick Hall. The first of the series will be givea Tuesdav, Oct. 15, when the new "Amphion Quar- tette will make ite appearance. The composition of {he quartette hus already beon_given in thesa columns., The same managers will introdace to the public in_December ‘‘The Autumn-Leaf Dramatic Club.” 4 v cKee Rankin's rendering of Jacgues in ¢ The Two Orphans” deservedly ranks high a8 8 piece of scting. The general condemnation of the company made 1n this column last Supdsy was not intended to include Bankin himeelf or Vao- denboff ; and conld not have been uoderstood as #nch by any person who read the detailed notices of the performances at the Adelphi and the New Chicago during the week. The Adelphi is to return to its grand “alio” performances. An excellent variety bill is prom- ispd for the present week; prices have been re- Quced to the old scale; beer will fiow ad. fib., and the old babitues of the place will be made thoroughly at home. The Adeiphi has & reputa- tion for clever and liberal management in its pacticular field. It will probably offer to all its patrons the full worih of their money. + Rupning s Corner ” made its last rum last pight.

The closing of the Grand Opera-House in Neyw York had its comical aspects,—comical, that is to say, for the public. It was & serious enongh matter for the maoagers, chiefly among whom was poor Joe Wheeiock. He had made a met profit of 1,900 on & run of the Black Crook, and Jostit allon Davenport in Shakspearean drams. Finally he was induced, a8 Jast desperate ven- ture, to essay blood-and-thunder. This did not pay either. A terrible night came when s faw bundred porsons were in the house, and the sctora refused to go on until their salaries were paid. The manager was obliged to ~an- nounce no performance, and the audience was informed that money paid for tickety would be refended at the box-office, Even then the worst had not come. Half of the audience had come in withont paying, but the deadheads pre- sented their checks ror redemption along withthe honest people. All the receipts were exhausted long before the ticketa were redeemed, and the manager was ohflfia;i to eatisfy the outstandin, obligations from own pocket. Thus end the Jatest, though probably not the isst, chapter in the history of this marvelously ill-starred place of smusement. As the New York Herald puts it; -‘If the Grand Opers-House could be put on wheols and moved over town to theinter- goction of Fifth avenue and Broadway, at Twen- ty-third street, it might tum ont a valuable property. So far it has proved to bs the splen- did marble msusoleum of more theatrical entar- prises than any theatre in America.” " A PEEVISH ACTOER. ~ Mr. Rignold, who has rocently been playing Henry V. in Baltimore, made & more pxtraor- dinary exhibition of himseif thsn of the char- acter which be assumed to represent Satardsy week. Tho Baltimore Sun, in moticing the manifestations of temper Wwhich Mr. Rignold permitted himeelf, excuses him on the sccze of fatigno snd illness At the end of the third sct Lo came befors {he cur- tain voluntarily and apologized for hia temper, beg- ging indulgence because, as he said, it was plainly per- ceptitle he was suffering, and e really felt go ! ko ought o be in bed.

Mr. C. B. Gardiner, formeriy manager of the Academy of Mausio in this city, seems to be shak- ing up the dry bones in the Philadelpbia thea- tres. As iravager of ‘Mra. John Drew's Arch Btreet Thestre, be has introduced several nove} features. For iostance, a telograph office has been estabilched in the theatre building, aud seats can be reservod by telegraph without oxtra oharge.

It is doubtless a had piece of work ; but, bad esit is hikely to be, tho mmnager who firet brings it nut’h desier,.ng of soma credit for enterpriseand zeal. *3¥ AWFUL DAD,"” Ar. Chayles Mathews bas written for the Gaiety Theatre, London, a play bearing the enggestive title My Awfal Dad,” The idea of the play is to dopict youth 88 severc and accu- pled with worldly intercsts, and age as volatilp and addictod to frivolous pleasures. The satire of Alexandre Dumas, **Un Pere Prodigue,” is not fally carried ont. There 18 no effort in Alr. Mathews' play to do more than place in & ludi- crous light tho tribulations which 1 disreputable father brings upon tho bead of a cold-bloodod and poritanical son. Tho Atheneum ssys: **Coarso na is the workmanship and unpleasaut a8 is tho company to which the audience is in- troduced, the adaptation bos some power to in- torest and amnse. 1ts situntions, from s farcical standpoint, sre ingenious, and tho whole, with a largo amcunt of indulgonco, which, happily for the translaior, the sudionce is disposed to accord, may be found diverting."” NOTES, The Sars Jewatt brauch of Daly's company is billed for Cleveland. Rossi stopped in Paria and gave a benefit for the inundation-eulferers. Lingerd has some * Beecher-Tilton eketches,” which are said to take immensely. John McCullough has been playing Richeliew and Sh akspearean parts in Louisville. Col. Woed's Musonm in Philacelphis reopened Monday night with a picked-up company. “The Gilded Ago” has been played more than 200 timea in New York within twelve months, Forney has boned John McCuliongh and Boucicault to give benefit performances for the Centennisal faud. FEdward Arnott is to play McKee Rapkin's original part, George Delesparre, at the Union Bquare Thestre this week. Mr. Cheuey, of the Boston Globs Theatre, has inaugurated the era of low prices, runping his scale from $1 dowa to 25 cents. Tdwia Pocth is studying Richard II.

It is purposed to give a mixed eatertainment, consisting of farce, comedy, and opora bouffe, every Saturday might. at the Lyceam Theatro, New York, for a considerable time.

The return of Agnes Ethel fo the stage is only temporary. She conseated. in a momoent of weakness and good temper, to give eclat to the opening of Shook & Palmer’s Brookiyn Theatre. Harry and Bi Chapman bave been making a brilhiant success st the Vandeville Thestre, Lou- isville. One night last week they were obliged to stop selling tickets, with Barnum against them. Marie Irma is said to bsincepacitatad from con- tinning her pablic carcer by some affection of the throat. but gives lessons instead. This is a prossic ending to & lifo all shrugs, winks, garish lights, and blond wigs. Lewis, of Daly's, who is never indifferent and gonerally excellent, makes a great deal of the character of Perkyn Middlewyck, theretired but- ter dealerin *¢ Our Boys.” "His humoris like dry wine—quiet, but very insinuating. The Kiralfy Brothers have bought sixteon lots of land opposite to the Academy of Musio in Philadelphia, whereon theyintend to erect a palace of amusements, which they expect to have insugurated by the grest composer, Wag- ner. Daly's plea that the original version of “ Rose Michel” was too immoral for production in Americs, has created considerable amusoment wherever he is known. _He cleimed to have coa- structed a highly edifring play out of the mate- rials furnished by the French author. «The Merchant of Venico™ Las been trans- Iated into Tamil and retranalated into English. The following effect in the opening of 8 famous passage will show the fidelity of the translation: Ono of the chief elementa of mercy is non-restriction ; Like the dews of heaven it fallath upon those below.

The Now York Tribune thinks that the Italisn «Macbeth” in London will bo a remarkable ex- hibition of acting, without refereacs to the ques- tion of possible fidelity to Shakspeare, Some- body has said that, in order to preserve ths unities on the occesion, real maccaroni should be served in the banquet-scene, and the witches should play on hand-organs. A theatrical maonager in Buffalo says that there is o longer the money in s general theatrp business that there used to be. Stars and combinations play their, own pompanies, and, if yon don’t sccept their terms, they hire hall and give & elip-shod performance, which takes money away from the regular theatres. The manager aforesaid conceives this to be a philosophical statement of fact. MUSIC. AT HOME. BERENELY §TILL, The musical world at home still remains quiet, ‘but it is the calm before the storm. This week is mainly devoid of interost, but mext week Theodore Thomas will opon the campaign with ‘his incomparablo orchestra, assisted by Madeline Schuller, the excellent pianiste. The musical public is especislly to be congratulated that the opening will be in such good hsnds, and that they will have the opportunity of hearing the finest music of the season at the very beginning. AMr. Toomas and his band will receiye & warm welcome, and undoubtedly also the fair pianiste, whose fame has preceded her. GELMANIA MAENNERCHOR CONCERT.

The sixteenth of Mr. Eddy's organ recitals will be given at the First Congrogatlonal Oharch Thursday evening. TALMAGE'S CORNET, The New York Sun says: A clear-toned littlo bell, out of sight somewhera in the Rev. Dr. Tslmsge's pulpit, in the Brooklyn Taber~ nacle, was tapped ouce at half-past 10 o'clock yestorday morning. TLis was the usual afgnsl for the sppear- o6 of 1he organist, and his o ohce catered through 21 opening penol in the ammense orgau. The broad, Igh front of this organ forias the back of the pulpit, and facns the pooplo aa they sit in the rising tlers of pews. Thero ara seats for 3,700 persons, without trowding or filling the aisles, and noue were vacaat, alihough it waa raining, Th organist took i seat ;C of the the keyboard under tho front pulpit, After a brlef pauso the bell struck twice, and then ho to play a ce, solo, A little lter tho bell rang three times, and an~ ctner panel in the orgau opened quickly, and Mr. Talmage stepped out on tho platform. “The panel shat behind him, and, s it could not bo distinguisked from the others. {he effect of tho pastor's eutranco waa that of trick in @ pantomimo, He seated him- self and bowed bis hend in silent prayer, the music of the organ continuing. Next Arbuckle, the cornet- plager, 5to0d on & peduatal closs in front of the pul- Bit, pat bis Loight silver horn o bis mouth, and waved bis right lund after the manner of au orchestra lesder. The congregation arose at ihe sigoal, and sang “Prafso God from whom all bless- inga flow.,” The Tsbernaclo has mo choir. The blaro of the cormer leads the copgregationl singing, and the powerful notes of the organ accompa- nyit. The effect upon o atranger is repeliant at first, To exnibihon Is theatrical, and uniike anytbing that ke has previously Scon in e house of prayer. The sound of the cornet rises loud, clear, and melodious above (ho thousands of voices, Keeping them together 88 perhaps they could be kept in no otber way ; and the great organ's roor blends and expands the volume, The aggrogate of sound is enormous, und the weakest- voicad worshiper, who wouid not'sttempt to Lum # Yankee Doodle ” by himself, opens Lis mouth as wide 38 soybods, and fanctes Le is rendoring the Dozology in deep, accordant bass, It is only when his squenk inadvertently runs bLeyond tho Tearat theend of a Line thst he becomes conscious of hismistake. We are shortly to have the cornet business in one of our prominent L‘uugugntioupl churches ; but, oles, Arbuckle will not blow it. We may havo, however, what they have at Talmage’s—the squeak at the end of the line. LOCAL mISCELLAXY, Mr. W. 8. B. Matthews has written a lotter to the New York Tribune advocating Mr. Theodora Thomes for the leadership of the new College of Music in that city. A gentleman lately returned from Milan in- forms the Brookiyn Argus that Ar. Hatch, a Chicago tenor, is one of the most promising stu- denta in the former city. A miscellancous concert will be given in Klare’s Hali on Monday evening, the 4th, by Mr. Silver- sparre, the 'cellist, aseisted by quits an array of tour talent, to be followed by a ball. Mr. Fritz Foltz, our favorite baritone, will be married Tuesdsy afterncon, at 3 o'clack, at Grace Church, to Miss Mary W. Judd, tbe sc- complished daughter of B, Corning Judd, Eaq. Mr. Dve snnounces that the teachers of the public schaols can attend the Saturday morning snd Thursday evening classes for the same as one lessen per week at his * Sioging-school,” in the Methodiat Church Block.

The Treasures of a Parisian Glass- ‘Warehouse, Letting the Animals Loose--The Be- trothal of Bismarck’s Daughter. Notre Dame and the Commune---An In- explicable Tragedy at Florence. _ A PARISIAN GLASS-WAREHOUSE. I visited yesterday (says Lucy Hooper in s Paris letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph) the superb glass-warehcuse of Baccarat, on the Rue de Paradis-Poisaoniere. 'Fhis establishment, which is the most extensive and superb of the kind in Paris, is altogether wholesale, sad no one is admittea even to cast & glance at its treasares without an introduction card from some influen- tial personsge or the compapy of a commission- aire. Itis a pity that it is not regularly included among the sights of Paris, for a more beautiful coup d'eil than thar afforded by the immense room, occupying the whole floor of the vast building, sod all ablaze with the fashand the colaring of emerslds, rubies, diamonds, and sapphires, can hardly be imagined. The opaque glass, which is precisely like porcelain, and s painted osod decorsted inm the same way, is chiefly wused for the arger-mzed vases, lamps, fruit-stands, Jjardinicres, etc. Most of these ara exquisitely painted, soma with groups of Cupids and wreathe of roses in a background of palest biue; othera with white-plumaged cranes amid tender green folinge ; others again with classic figazes and de- sigugin brillians bues on & pure white back- und. Thore were miles on miles (at least 8o 1t seomed to me) of sparkling wino-glasses, dsintiy-bued cups, and vases, and inkstands, and toilette-tottles. There are myriada of cologue and ligueur stands, each more beautifal than the other. Overhead, s wildernees of crystal chan- deliers sparkied like tne folizge of the forest of diamonds iu the fairy tale. They were of every 8izo and pattern,—some huge euough to serve for the central ornament of some vast palaco or opera-house ; others a tiny handful of pendant gems, just swmied for the boudoir of o Princesa. Color hss boen very effeci- ively introduced snto this branch of the art, and some of the chandeliers showed ruby flowers with emerald folinge, the whole juat touched bere and there with gold; while ono enormous lustre was decorated with a delicata onameling of palest blua and gold on the stalic and branches, wiile the appendages were all in cnt erystal. The heavy cut glass appears to be the most in vogus for tabie-use st pregent, and 18 even moroa cosily than the aelicately-engraved Rlues which has been 80 long the rsge. Glass Clock-cases appear to b the iatest noveltyin this branch of commerce; and very pretty they are. Somo are cases of opaque bjne or white glass, with plateaux on which they stand; others are in transpareot cut crystal, set in frames of gilt bronze. They arenot expensive, the handsomest . costing about $15. Some of the things are, how- over, very marvels of cheapuess, a8 Witness & pair of most beautifully-painted vases for £6.60, and others of smaller size for #¥3 & pair. It needed s giance at a Louig XV. dressing-table with a mirror, gll set with tiny capids, nymphs, roses, eto., and valued at €500, to restore one’s equil- ibrium. The articles exhibited by this cecle- beated firm at the Great Paris Exposition cost over 100,000 ; and several of them, from their extrems costliness, still remsin uwosold. as, for instance, & magmticent fountan, all in glass, and valued at $20.000, and s chandelior, the price of which was $6,000. ‘hey refuse to send anything to the Cenicnnial, because, as our guide informed us, the firm mevor cares to ex- hnibit outeide of Fraoce. It wsa not polite in me, but I trust it was pardonable. to answer as I did by one word, * Chinese!” for such an imita- tion of Clunese ssli-absorption, contempt for outside barbarism, and conceutrated vauity, I bad scarcely expected to find in a civilized com- munity. LETTING LOOSE THE ANIMALS. . Last night, says s Paris letter, the cclebrated AMenagerie Bidel closed its doors with a grand farewoll performance, which was likewiso a gra- tuitous ové. ‘Fhis menagerie added to tho usual display of wild beasts and the feats of lion- tamors, a new and popular attraction. M. Bidep was in the habit, at tho close of tho perform- ances, of letting loose a number of tame snd barmless animals to receivg the caresses snd ad- miration of the andience, particularly of those #pectators who had reserved seats on the front row nest the ring. First camo three men, bearing on their shoulders the enormous boa-constrictor, with head erect, and Guivering, darting tongue. Nobody cared particalarly to touch him, 8o his ‘bearers marched around the rig with him and then disappeared. Next came s huge alligator carried in the same way, the first man_carefully keeping down bis threatening upper jaw. He Was not & popuisr pet eitber, though many curi- ons individuais veaturcd to touch his sealy back and dapgling paws. Then came & group of soft- eyed, clumsy llamas, who bluudered about, and walked over the apectators, and tumbled on the children, and bebaved thewselves absardly in goneral. Then the giraffes and the elephant were turned loose, and were immensely caressed. A race was orzanized between the elephant and ono of the giraffes, wherein the former got beaten, and testified his sense of diecomfiture by & Beries of borrible howls. Bat tho great success of the evening were the lion cubs, five Jolly Hittlefeliows, looking ke kittcos on an exag gerated scale, and all perfectly wild to be let out Tora frolic. As soon as tha door of their cage “vas opened, out they all tumblod, down the in- clined plank thatled to the ring, aod all mightily inciined to play. They were picked up and patted and hugged by everybody who get Lold of them, their tas were pulled sud their ears were pinched, and they ware generally treated with a Tamiliarity to which membors of the royal family are totally unaccustomed. They took it alfin good part, howover,—growling a littie some- fimes when & royal tail was pulled too bard, or a rosal car unduly pinched, but never attempting toscratch or bite. After a gooperal frolicall around, Bcme of them got under the geats, curied themselves up, and went to slesp, in s comfortable, domestic-cat sort of fashion. £ BISMARCK'S DAYGHTER. The cable recently announced the betrothal (which in Germany is & very serious and semi- matrimonial sort of ceremony) of the oanly dsughter of Princo Bismarck, to a Prussisn no- bleman whose name shows him to belong to & family which ie extensively represented in the court and civil service as well a3 in the army of Prussia. The von Eulenburgs (says the New York World) earned & wide though not a very fisttering reputation in Europe some years ago from the zeal with which they rallied to the sup- port of one of their number, a young officer, Count von Eulenburg, who signalized himeelf by cutting down with his sword and killing, near Bono, on the Bhine, a cookin the retinue of the Enghish Privce Alfred, from whom he conceived himself to have received some dis- respect. Bytho stratocrscy which mow rules Prusaia, the slaying of & cook by an officer and a nobleman conld not but be regarded with - dulgenca ; aud it was thought an amazing and outrsgeons thing ihat, when Count Eulenburg, after undergoing ap imprisonment in & military post, visited Englsnd in tho suite of the Crawn Prince, the English military clubs declined to oxtend an invitation to him. ‘What the relation- ship borne by this nobleman to the affianced of the Conntess Marie von Biswsrck may be, we do Dot know. The present Minizter of the Interior in Germanyis a Count von Eulecburg, not very highiy esteemed either a8 a politician Or & statee- mso. Anotmer von Eulenburg is the Presi- Qent Superior of the ~ Province of Hanover, and still snother (perhaps the coctoricide ar cook-slayer already mentioned), Maj. Count von Eulenberg is ths Vice Graod Masater of the Ceromouies ¢ the Impensl Court. The Countess Marie Yon Bismarck wouid bar be called a *young” Isdy in this precocious country, since she was born in August of the great year of revolations, 1848, while her father was oarping his political spurs, and is conse- quently now 27 years of age. SBe is reputed, Towever, to be a lady of high epirit aod of culti- Vated ability, and her admirable behavior at the time of the attempt made upon ber father's life at Kissingen was widely commented on in tbe German pross of all parties.

A Monaco letter to the St. Louis Globe says: 1 There are at Monaco a number of fabrics of different sorts, among them an immense factory for cologne water and other sorta of perfamery, ottar of roses. Thisis 3 manufac- sary in zeality, for not ono of the perfumes are geouine. There are oo violets, or roses, or new- mown hay, carried there, though all the extracts are exported. There ate numberless barrels of petroleum, tar, and alcohol, that go in the doors in great hogshaads and tanks, that I have a sus- Ficion go in some unheard-of way to produca the extracis we all make ¢o much use of. The famous eau de that we fondly imagine is sl made at Coicgne by Widow Jean 3Mario Fur- ina. i8 all made Eere, or 80 nearly all that you may say 80 with tho trath nearly all on your @ide. 'These manufactorice are nearly al owned by Madame Bisac, who is also tho pi pristress of the gaming tsbles and build- ings, but which are nominally heid by her has- band, Alr. Blanc, a8 she resides in Paris, msiing but rare visits to Monsco. She is reported to bo worth 810,000,000, She happened to be in Aonaco while I was there, sod I was presonted to her in the evening at the coucert, and I will say that she was & living epecimen and exsmple of an old head on young ehoulders, or, in othar Wonis, sle 18 & hawk-nosed, thin-lipped blonde, with white eyebrows and lashas, and is fully 60 years old, but drosgas like a young girl of 16, and fairly makes you shudder at the horrible canca~ ture of a woman sho makes. She is always talking on religious subjects, and exhorts vou in oue breath to remember your Creator, and in the next to place your monsy ou the thirty-five “the number of her years,” sho says, being lucky. There was one, old man' thers who said be bhad known her twensy yoars; she wasan old habitne of Baden-Baden, and ske had Leen 85 ever gince he knew her. NOTRE DAME AND THE COMMUNE. The Abbe Riche has just published & long and interesting article in the Gazette de france telling how Notre Dame was saved during thedayswhen nearlyall the public buildings were burned by the Commune. On the 25th of May, 1871, he was celled out to give spiritual consoletion to & yonung workman aboul to be shot against the nearest wall. When the Abbe told bim his fate he fell as it already shot, then, striking his hand against his forebesd, cried: “Ah! I kuew it would bring me bad luck.” Naturally the Abbe was carions to know what, aod asked the ques~ tion. After a moment’s besitation the work- man_ eaid that he bad been detsiled to put powder aod pecrolenm in Notre Dame, and that it would be round in four dif- ferent places, aming them. He told the Abbe to ron aud eave the building, for the fire was to be set hetween 9 and 10 o'clock, and it was then 9. 'The Aboe Riche did not hesitzte. fte hur- ried off to the cathedral, runpiog under ire pe- tween the two lines, and arrived junt as a pile of chairs was begiuning to burn.” With the aid of the suisse ha put out tie Bire, aod then found the casks of powder in the places indicated by the workmau. As soon as he could leave the Abbe went back, firding his man on the way to the place of exscution. He catled the com- ' manding officer scd told him the story, eaying that the Hotel Diew. with handreds of sick, was only & few yards away, and that the loss of lifa must have been fearful but for the fortunata rovelatios made to him. e demandod the lifo of his man, and the request was grauted. ROMANCE OF AN OPAL NECKLACE. Marictte Remy, & beautifal girl, who bad led rather a gay life, died in Paris tho other dsy. She was known among her friends as Opal, from the fact that she always ware » very handsowe opal necklace.

The Palonio family, one of the most dis- tinguished in Florence, has been thrown into great excitement by the inexplicable suicide of threo of ita damghters. - A week ago Madame Polonio walked till a 1ate hout with her dangh- ters in the gardens of the Place Sipia. The young ladios seemed in good epirits, and no apprehen- pions were entertaived. The next morowng they did not make their appearance, and wera at last discovered in a small apartment sof- focated with the fumes of charcoal. Ths youngest showed faint signs of life, Lut shortly afterward expired. e girls had shown great skill in execating their sad action. The youngest, aged 15, had, it appeared, made the arrangements the night before. A brazier filied with charcoal wae placed in the small apartment, and a pile of coale Was near to be ready to food the fire. Tho greatest mystery pervades the affair, but it is suppored the sisters had distorted their minds by their inordinate reading of wild romances and works of peculiar theorios. Thoy +were in the babit of sitting up at night for ths perusal of these dangerous volnmes aod hence their non-sppearance did not_ st first create sur- Pprise on the morning of the fatal discovery.
