THE MARIONETTES.—There is no foundation for
the report that a distinguished member of this company is
about to contest the representation of Lincoln at the ap-
proaching election. Nevertheless, Mr. Albany Brown would
prove at least as efficient a senator as the present Honourable
and Gallant Member for Great Tom.

Mr. G. V. BROOKE.—This English tragedian
lately hired the Astor Place Opera House, New York, for
dramatic performances. Finding that the "legitimate"
did not succeed, he introduced a troupe of monkeys,
whereupon an injunction against him was issued by
the proprietors of the house. Thus far the monkeys
have triumphed, having appeared one night to as
enraptured audience. The move for an injunction
is not yet decided. The New York Herald thinks
the monkeys ought to win, and says—" We do not th.inic,
that there exists any reasonable ground of complaint aga'n"
their performances, particularly in view of the fact that the
owners of the Astor-place Opera-house have lately let it out
.
to a juggler, for the exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, the
manufacture of hasty puddings in the bottom of gentlemen's
hats, and the production of hens' eggs ad libitum, with other
classic performances.
