TIIE PRINCE IMPERIAL is going to give a monstre
juvenile fete next Sunday to all those children of
his age who are members of the Loan Society for Indigent
Workmen standing under his special patronage. There
will be twelve marionette theatres, two stages for jugglers,
and two great military orchestras on the spot, which has
been carefully selected in the reserved part of the Tuileries
Gardens. From 150 to 200 " marchands de coco" will
furnish the young people with all kinds of sweet drinks,
while a bald will cater for the grown-up population.
After this monster fete a balloon will go up; and the
journals add that whoever, before Sunday, subscribes tho
annual sum of 6fr. lec. will even now receive an
invitation.

KEPLER'S MONUMENT in Weilerstadt, by Di-
rector Kreling, is approaching its completion. The
reliefs will represent scenes from Kepler's life, while the
pedestal will contain, in four niches, the figures of Coper-

the astronomical instrument maker. These figures will be
cast in bronze, and be about four feet high.
THE QUEEN, it is significantly remarked by the
Spectator, held a Court at Buckingham Palace on Wednes-
day. Her Majesty wore the blue riband and badge of the
Garter, the badges of the Victoria and Albert Order, and,
says the Court Circular, which does not make mistakes on
such points, "the Order of Queen Louise of Prussia."

NOT PAYING DEARLY FOR HIS WHISTLE--BITT
BEING WELL PAID FOR IT.—MusiC, it seems, has
still the charms the poet ascribed to it. Mr. Cox, son of
an English physician of Valparaiso, had been exploring
an almost unknown inland sea in Chili and the river Limey,
when the party fell into the hands of a tribe of wild In-
dians. The Cacique wanted to kill him for visiting him
dominions without permission ; but Mr. Cox playedinthheinise
a tune on the flageolet, and the chief relented and let him
go. Surely that Cacique must be an Austrian in an in-
choate state, with tendencies which will ultimately develop
into a passport system and a love tar opera. Admiral

Fitzroy, we perceive, thinks there is something
regions more valuable than Caciques, namely, three new
varieties of the potato.

Guest is not made to wander into subjects foreign to the
main plot, or to call up anecdotes and reminiscences, and
things of that sort. He and Johnny talk about Lily Dale,
but they talk at once so fully and so naturally that it seems

WILLIAM SHAESPERE. By Victor Hugo.—The
authorised English translation of this interesting
work has just been issued by Messrs. Hui st and Blackett in
*single volume. This enthusiastic tribute of admiration to
our great national poet, and at the present time especially,
will be eagerly perused by all Englishmen. "M. Victor
Hugo (says the .efthenceum) has produced a notable and
brilliant book about Shakspere. M. Hugo sketches the life
of .`:,hakspere, and makes of it a very effective picture.lmaginative and pleasant fancy are mingled with the facts.
There is high colouring, but therewith a charm which has
not hitherto been found in any portrait of Shakspere painted
by a foreign hand,"
