NEW OPERA BY MEYERBEER -Meyerbeer has
written another opera, L'Etoiie du .V0rd the
first representation of which took place in Paris
several weeks ago. 1t was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, which is somewhat strange
as the hero Of the opera is Peter, the Great
and the plot entirely Russian. It is founded
upon an interesting incident in the wandering
and romantic life of this great man. The prin-
elpal part Of the action takes place in an obscure
village Of Finland, where the Car was then liy-

tenderness and care by very beautiful young

had been told by fortune teller that she will
marry great lord-a prophecy reminding one
somewhat of a similar incident in the life Of the
Empress Josephine-and she imagined that she
saw in the apparently humble carpenter her
destined husband. Peters long stay in Fin
land forgetful Of all things but love, had caused
disaffeetion in the camp on his return The
beautiful Catherine disgnses herself, and en-
lists IN the army as d soldier; but does not
make herself Known to the Czar While keep

INTO a difficulty with officer and strikes him
with her hand. For this offence she Is con-
demned to death, but escapes Peter after q
time returns to his capital of Moscow flushed
with the brilliant results of his campaign against
his powerful enemy, Charles XII of Sweden.
Agents are sent in search Of his beloved, and
she is at last discovered, lunatic, and thus
brought to him. The opera closes by scene in j.
which many OF her friends and relatives are
placed about her, with the Car, whose real
character she has learned The result of the
remedy applied was perfectly successful; her
