TEE TARIFF OF KISSES.

A French journal gives the report before a Juge
de Paix of a claim made on an actor of one of the
small theatres of the suburbs of Paris, for a certain
number of kisses, and a certain amount of lender
squeezing on the stage. We got to know exactly
by this amusing incident of real life the cost of a
theatrical kiss, according to the dramatic laws of
the French stage.
One M. Narcisse appears before a jusice of the
peace, and, addressing the judge, says—Monsieur
le Juge, I'm a dramatic actor. I play the part of
lovers in a theatre of th,i Banlieus. My parts oblige
ma to be extravagantly passionate, excited, and
enthusiastic. I'm obliged occasionally to love
women of all ages, of all conditions of life, actively
,:nd perseveringly, sometimes for a couple of hours
together. Love-making may become laborious,
Monsieur le Juge, and even repulsive and annoy-
ing, if one is obliged to make love. Well, sir, and
will you believe it, all my fire, devotion, my
artistic amorous skill, so unceasingly addressed to
pi!, has got me into grief.
Judge—How so?
Narcisse—Parbleu! I gain only 100 f. a month for
running away with young ladies, making love to
confirmed coquettes, and they want to make me pay
1501. for articles delivered.
Judge—Articles delivered; and pray what were

they ?
Narcisse—Kisses—(much laughter)-150f. for
one man to pay for such trifles l That is what M.
Valsin demands of me for, in fact, kissing his wife
on the stage, whilst playing my role.
Judge—How is this ?
Valsin—lt is a very simple affair. There am
certain regulations which belong to all theatres on
the subject in question. Art. 1 says—" Wben an
actor playing his role is called upon to kiss a lady,
he shall only appear to do so." Art. 2—" Any actor
who shall really kiss an actress without her pre-
vious formal consent, shall be fined 5f." Art.
3—" Pressing sincerely to the heart pays a fine of
2t. 50c." Now, Narcisse has vigorously embraced
my wife 10 times, and unmistakeably kissed her 25
times, for which I demand 150 f.
Narcisse—The price is beyond all reason.
(Laughter.)
Valsin-1 demand that sum, according to the
usages of the dramatic law.
Nareisse—Come, let us compromise the matter;
there are faults on both sides.

Valsin—Good !
Narcisse—l stole 25 kisses.
Valsin—Yes.
Narcisse— Well, then, I offer to return them!
Here the Court lost all its gravity, and the judge
dismissed the case, raferriog the matter to a higher
court of justice.

PROSECUTION OF " ESSAYS AND REVIEWS."--
Yesterday morning in the Court of Arches, which sat ex-
actly three minutes, it was announced that the case of
" The Rev. J. Fendall v. The Rev. R. Bristowe Wilson,"
author of the article " The National Church," a Essays and
Reviews," was SO cleared of .41 preliminary technical diffi-
culties as to enable the rev. defendant to prosecute his The
peal before the Judical Committee of Privy Counoil. Th°
case of " The Bishop of Salisbury v. The Rev Dr. Rowland
Williams," the author of the ar,icle " Bunsen's Biblical
Researches," in the same volume, has long been ripe for
appeal, and both will therefore be taken at the sittings after
Easter Term. Both the rev. gentlemen have been sentenced
by Dr. Lushington (the Dean of Arches) to one year's sus-
pension from tueir ben,ficee, and it is against that sentence
they appeal to the Judicial Committee.
