deeoctlon of coffee be given to the animal.
About half pint was administered and il
soon began to get better, and ultimately re-

Around that idea, as we have said, the mind

LES AM0uRs Du DIABLE.n-A new opera was pro-
duced at the Orleans Theater on Monday evening
les Amours du Diable a fairy opera, in four acts
with nine tableaux, IT was written by Saint Georges
music composed By Grisar, and was performed, for
the first time in Paris three years ago the present
month. There was a large and brilliant audience at
the Orleans to witness its first presentation in this
country and the applause was unusual even for that
demonstrating house.
The story Of the drama, though differently de-
yeloped is essentially the same as may be seen in old
German plays and prints, in French ronances and in
somhre English nursery legends. A young lord who
lspecunarly ruined wishes to obtain means, long
credit from the great Insurer, who supplies with a
generous hand and asks no return until after DEATH
This he succeeds in doing; the proprietor of the root
of all evil being willing to disbprse quite freely upon
such security The story Of the intercourse between
the devil and his young debtor how the bad are
made agents to further vice. while the good are ada
ant to all the Wiles Of the tempter, is quite curious
and interesting. The writer has very cunningly
brought together characters which, by their contrast
heighten one anothers interest," and give tone to the
whole. The music is very good-as a matter Of
course, seeing it was written by Grsar and every
thing belonging to it tends to strengthen the promise
that, notwithstanding its very devilish title and
character it will be quite popular with our musical
friends as IS the devil himself-with some people
The gorgeousness Of the scenery, the magic of the
changes the sleight and the singing together form
picture that will be enjoyed by all who attend The
UTieE Of Nine. Golson, character sustained by her
in Paris, and the Beelsebub of NJ GRAFT were infer
naly good.
