journals. A band of music is to play every morn-
ing on the promenade. The:managers of the theatre
have made an ausser abonnenient once, and some-
times twice, a week, by which all the boxes are
thrown open for purchase to the public at three
francs a ticket. The theatre is one of the best in
Southern Germany. The city is constructing
already the best sewers of any in all Germany, and
at a cost of several million florins. A new Comic
Vaudeville theatre is to be opened at the Saalban
(great hall of music). Frankfort is known already
as being very central, in the vicinity of the principal
watering places, with beautiful parks and surround-
ings. Owing to its fine schools, of which those for
schools are regarded as some of the best in Ger-
many, it offers great attractions to families in the
way of education. It is known already as a great
town for shopping, and is called the Paris of Ger-
many. One thing which speaks volumes in its
favour, is that neither cholera nor any other epidemic
ever raged in the city. It is now represented by
Consuls General from Russia, Italy, Belgium,
Austria, the United States, Sweden, Denmark,
Spain, Portugal, and Consuls from England, the
South American Republics, Holland, and the
South German States. The enterprizing and public-
spirited people of Frankfort deserve much credit
for their public spirit in these matters.
We extract the following items from Wilkes' Spirit:—
"Miss Mary Gannon died at her residence in New York on
the 22d February, in the 39th year of her age. She was
one of the best, if not the very best, actresses in her lino
on the American stage. Her theatrical career was confined
of late years to Wallack's, where she was always a fa-
vourite with the public.—Mrs. General Lander was much
annoyed recently during a performance of Elizabeth by a
party of chattering women in a box. Finally, losing pa-
tience as well as her lines, Queen Elizabeth left her asto-
nished courtiers, and, approaching the box, said, " Ladies,
the play cannot go on until you hold your tongues
and behave yourselves." These few remarks hav-
ing produced the desired effect, her Majesty pro
ceeded with the graver affairs of the State—Olive
Logan has started on her country tour, commencing
with Brooklyn. Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble commenced
a series of readings at Steinway Hall, on Monday even-
ing, March 2—" Coriolanus," " Midsummer-Night's
Dream" " Tempest," and " King Lear." The herald
curiously says, editorially, that " Mrs. Kemble wears still
the same nobly-formed head whioh was so much admired
when she made her first appearance at the Covent-garden
Theatre." Mrs. Kemble possibly has a change of bon-
nets, but not of heads. James Stark, the tragedian, is in
California. By a recent reversal of a decision of the Su-
preme Court, Mr. Stark loses his title to a large property.
The " Sea of Ice" is being performed in Galveston. Lotti's
German Opera Troupe in Mobile. De Pol, with Mor-
lacchi and Blasina, in Cincinnati. The front entrance,
or vestibule, of the Winter Garden is now to let as a store.
Charles Wheatleigh closed his eleventh and last week in
San Francisco. He met with his usual success.

Admiral Farragut ieceived a complimentary visit
'min the Prefect of Naples last Monday.

It is reported that the Emperor Napoleon will
pay a visit to St. Petersburgh in June. Brilliant fetes and
a review of 100,000 men will be prepared for his Majesty's

reception.
Madame Miramon, wife of ex-President General
Miramon, of Mexico, under Maximilian, is stopping at
Frankfort-on-the-Maine.

General M'Clellan is still at Nice, bat his con-
firmation for Minister to England is regarded as very
doubtful.

M. Van Voellenburgh, the American Minister
at Japan, telegraphs that Admiral Bell, of the United States
navy, was drowned in a small boat. his widow spent the
winter of 1867 in Geneva, and last summer at Homburgh
and Heide'burgh, and is still in Europe.
J. Ross Browne has been nominated for Minister
to China, aad will doubtless bo confirmed. He is a great
traveller and a very fine scholar, and also a good Union
man. Fos some few years ho lived at Frankfort- on-the-
Maine for the purpose of educating his family. During
our civil war he frequently gave free lectures before the
English circle on the "Resources of America," which were
always listened to with attention. No better nomination
could have been made. This is sufficient answer to tho
spiteful remarks about this gentleman made by the Wash-
ington correspondent of the Standard.;

A Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune gives the following personal gossip in regard to
the members of the present Congress :—" In looking
over a list of the members of the present House,
the singularity in the names is striking. For instance, we
have a Butler, a Baker, a Cook and a Cake ; an Archer,
a Burr, a Cobb and a Fox ; a Loan, a Nunn, a Pike, a
Pilo and a Price, a Kerr, a Kitchen and a Knott ; a
Sawyer, a Stone and a Taylor. Make your own puns
on them, Stevens, of Pennsyleanuia ; Spaulding, of
Ohio, and Thomas, of Maryland (73, 69, and 68 re-
spectively), are the throe oldest men. Haight, of New
Jersey ; Adams, of Kentucky, and Washburn, of Indiana,
(29, 30, and 35 respectively, aro the youngest members of

the House. Schenck, of Ohio, and Tobias A. Plants, of
New York, are the two ugliest men in the House; For-
nando Wood is the finest looking; while G. N. Adams, of
Kentucky, Thomas E. Stewart, of Now York, Allison,
of lowa, and Pomeroy, of New York, are among the
handsomest ; Baldwin, of Massachusetts, is the fattest
man, and Maynard, of Tennessee, is the leanest. In
the Senate, James Guthrie, of Kentucky, is the
oldest man, being 75 years of ago, and Roverdy
Johnson, of Maryland, next being 71, Sprague, of Rhode
Island, is 37, and the youngest man in the Senate, and
Conkling, of New York, is the next youngest, being
39. Conkling also is the handsomest Senator ; and
the most imperious. In the House there are :—Law-
yers, eighty-seven; editors, five, namely, Baldwin, of
Massachusetts; Blaine, of Maine; Brooks, of New York;

simply banker."

of Mr. F. 'Westray, resigned ; and Mr. L. A. DowleS is the
treasurer.

nated by the President Secretary of War, is 78 years

for his political career, having been Senator, and held posts
in the Cabinets of two Presidents, Harrison and Taylor.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—Any dyspeptic
sufferer aware of t e purifying, regulating, and gently
aperient powers of these pills should permit no one to cloud
his judgment or to warp his course. With a box of Hol-
lowa 's pills and attention to its accompanying " direc-
tions" he may feel thoroughly satisfied that he can safely
and effectually release himself from his miseries without
impairing his appetite or distressing his digestion. By
aiding natural nutrition this excellent medicine raises the
bodily strength to its extreme limits and b ,nishes a thou-
sand annoying forms of nervous complaints. An occa-
sional resort to Holloway's remedy will prove highly salu-
tary to all persons whether well or ill whose digestion is
slow or imperfect, usually evidenced by weariness, listless-
ness, and despondency.

[AuvEarrisumENT.]—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica.
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years
of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette
du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866.—" The health of
the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's
Itevalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful
at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial
etTect on his healtla, and his Holiness cannot praise this
excellent food too highly." We extract a few out of
more than 68,000 cures:--Cure No. 55,216, of the Marchioness
de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint, wasting away,
debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation all over, bad
digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most intolerable ner-
vous agitation. Cure No. 1,771: Lord Stuart de Decies, Lord
Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia. N 0.49,832 :

asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness, and
vomiting.—Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr. James Roberts,
of Frinaley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood,
liver derangement, and partial deafness Linportant Caution.—
