number of men be admitted was l.rger than had
bees mantsiaed in time of p -ace; bet, although he had no
septette...ion of war, it would be unwise, be thought, under
the circumstances, to make a greater reduction at present
in a force which it wee desirable to reduce gradually and
slowly. He Otto discussed at mach length various details

Another visit to this theatre has confirmed our

Madame Ceradorl is well known and her reputstion in this

impropriety of thrusting Madame Einderodorff, a perforator
