We find in the Sport the following anecdote
connected with the late theatrical performances at the
Tuileries :—" Eighty ladies were invited to this dramatic
soiree. After the play, the Emperor and Empress graci-
ously complimented the actors on their performance, and
her Majesty, addressing M. Montrose, asked him, with a
smile, how long it was since Alexandre Dumas' piece had
been played at the Theatre Frangais. "Not for twenty
years," replied Montrose. "In that case," replied her
Majesty, laughing, " pray say nothing about it, for there
are several ladies here who, though they will not own being
thirty, have just assured me that they had seen it played
at the Theatre Frangais.

The knell of the old 6 and 9-pounder guns has
long sounded, and the fiat which will close an era in the his-
tory of our artillery is now on the point of delivery. An order
will soon be issued from the Horse Guards putting an end
to the instruction of the gunners of the Royal Artillery in
smooth-bored field ordnance, and confining it to the drill of
the rifled gun. Immense saving of time and trouble will
thus be gained for the recruits who have quite sufficient
employment in learning the use of our numberless military
machines, without unnecessary labour. If, however, there
are any men who require peculiar consideration on this head
it certainly is the Volunteer Artillery, and such bodies as
the Channel Islands Militia, who give their time and labour,
often at great inconvenience, gratis to their country. It
would be superfluous for us to point out that to give such
men the inconvenience of learning an obsolete and trouble-
some drill would be but an ungraceful way of acknowledging
their patriotism ; and we hope our friendly hint may receive
attention at the hands of the authorities. The guns which
so often assisted us to victory—from Plassy to Lucknow,
from Corunna to Sebastopol—will never again be seen but
in the dust-covered museum of our national records.—llrnty r
