A SCENE NOT IN TIE BILLS.

.- A SCENE NOT IN TIE BILLS.
In notice of the opening of the
Strand Theatre, London, the Morning
Post writes: g... .se #a
In the course of the evening an Incl
dent occurred to which we have some
delicacy in abiding, but which, as
being SO far as we know, wholly with
out precedent i'm an English Theatre.
and also as intimating censorship OF
manners in a quarter where, according
to conventional estimate, refinement Is
least to be expected, should not, per-
haps, be suffered to pass without notice.
In the stalls, which were occupied for
the most part by ladies and gentlemen,
maniiestly of good social position, and
all dressed in evening costume, there
was seated, in company with friend,
tall and remarkably pretty woman, the
lOwness of whose dress was n general
gave great scandal to the audience,
among the female portion of whom a
painful sensation was clearly percept-
ible. At last public Indignation found
expression in brief emphatic form. No
sooner had the curtain fallen on the
first play than there was heard from
the gallery voice uttering in slow and
we'll measured accents an injunction
which could be intended but for one
person in the vast assembly. Pale with
emotion, yet still retaining her gentle,
placid look-for there was no faint of
immodesty in her demeanor- she qui-
city drew her opera cloak over her shoul-
ders, and then tied it tightly round her
neck. In few minutes afterward she
rose from her seat, and, leaving behind
her her friend, modestly dressed
woman, walked out of the house, amid
Misses fIom the gallery and stern silence
lence, not less eloquent, in the stalls and
boxes.n -....,...

THE POPE TO MADAME LAMORECIERE.

TIE PUPE III MADAME bAMOhEOlEhE
The Union tic y Quest gives the follow
ing as the text of a letter addressed by
the Pope to Madame dc Lamoreciere on
the deceased of her husband:
FROM THE VATICAN, October s.
Very Dear Daughter in Jesus Christ :
Hardly had the sad news OF the death
of the ilustriOus General de LamO-
reciere, your worthy husband, reached
me, when, after having raised my eyes
to Heaven to ask for peace for tho de-
ceased, my thoughts were directed to-
ward you and your very dear and pious
daughters. While sharing with you
and with them the grief of so great a
loss, I remember the sacrifices which so
great man made for the cause of reli-
gion and this See, and l felt my senti-
ments of affection and gratitude increase
towards the Catholic captain and the
son, full of love for his mother, the Holy
Church. Although gratitude remains
fixed in my heart, my grief nevertheless
diminishes when reflect on his really
Christian death, and the feelings which
preceded it. Console yourselves, there
fore, in God, and be sure that you will
receive from Him the necessary strength
to bear your affiiction. The good Cure
brought me your letter, to which | re-
ply by the present. Receive, as a proof
of my personal affection, the apostolical
benediction which accord to you and
your daughters. Plus IN.

worn by the Queen, will be laid upon
the throne. The speech itself, instead
of being read by the Queen, will be read
by the Lord Chancellor. The London
Sara penny paper of great influence
and circulation-says
Unpopular gossip may be believed, the
principal incentive to her MaJesty's
consenting to discharge her duty Is her
desire TO propitiate public opinion IN Or
dcr that The grant for Prince Alfred's
maintenance, which it is intended pro-
nose NAV be more readily passed By
The Commons. There will be no cavil-
ling at the bestOwal of proper income
on the young prince, who is generally
believed to have more brains than most
of his family, and to be a clever, if some-
what of u saLurnine young man. 1t is
also generally stated that he has been
"kept short,' and he is humorously
said TO have fritted away what little
money he had in subscribing to memo
rails of his father, the Prince Consort.
A proper income for the second son Of
the sovereign will be voted without hes
itation. It's said that an appeal will be
made to Parliament to grant an annual
allowance to the Princess Helena, now
semi-oflicially announced to be engaged
to Prince Christian of Augustenberg,
younger brother of the gentleman who
laid claim to Schleswig- Holstein. This
is very different matter. Says the
.SpectatOr:-As the Queen, who, it must
be remembered, accepted Mr.. Neeld's
bequest of more than quarter of mil
lion, must now lie immensely rich, and
can endow such children as need it with
princely fortunes there seems no reason
why the nation should demur to an alli-
ance which can scarcely be acceptable
to all members of the royal house..

$3.50. At this rate of progress, which is
only too likely to be accelerated, we
may easily have a return of 1000 week
by Christmas; and if half of these per-
ish, either by the axe or the disease, the
losses which averaged but 700 week
during the first four mon tbs of the
plague will have risen in the two months
ensuing to just five times that number
This is an alarming prospect, nor can
we find much to reassure us in any OF
the particulars reported. No specific
has been discovered for the treatment OF
the disease. Every method of cure at
tempted does something; no method
does much and, perhaps, the actual re-
suit is determined not so much by the
remedy applied as by other CONDITIONS
unknown or unappreciated.

WILLING TO GIVE Up CANADA.

The London Times indu lges In a
friendly editorial towards America:
Apropos of Secretary Stewards reply
to the Lincoln coincidence addresses, af.
ter lauding the efficiency of the United
States government in times Uf great and
unparalleled difficulties, the Times says
o word or two about the present feeling
in England towards the United States.
1--WE have not the least objection to the
United States increasing to any extent
and annexing any amount of territory
or number of states, SO long as it Is done
honestly, above board, and by fair APP
peals to the sympathy and good sense of
the people. Ii the population of our own
provinces, or of Mexico, freely and
spontaneously declared that they
thought this their best chance of peace
and prosperity, the British people
would only feel the most passing regret
at the loss of name and the proprtion-
ate ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the United States.
Only as great state we cannot bear to
be ousted, Outwitted and coerced, and to
see our own people suffer for their loyal
