ception of Mons. Doucet at the Academy of France.
Ceremonies of the kind are much run after by the !
Parisians, who take as much trouble to get tickets
for these solemnities as they would for first per-
Torrance at one of the Paris theaters.
The newly elected member, before being in
stalled in the fautea or stall of the last departed
academician, whom he is to replace, has to make
a long discourse in praise of his predecessor. He
generally avais himself of the opportunity to
praise the academy and all belonging to it.
Monsieur Camille Doucet, the academician
is one Of the most talented and respected authors
of the day in France. He is the writer of several
plays of merit and will most certainly occupy
position equal to that of his predecessor Count
Alfred de Vigny, the well.known author of the
celebrated novel Cling Mars" which is pretty
well known to the admirers of romance all over
the world.
Mons. sandean, in presenting NJ. G. Doucet as
the successor of Count de Vigny. made a most ad-
mrable speech, which was interrupted from time
to time by savos of applause.
It is now generally known that the eminent
novel writer, George Sand, or more properly
speaking, Madame Dudevant, has always received
much assistance from Sandean, in the COM
position of her works, and the nom de guerre she
took when she first appeared before the public. is
the half of her coNaborateur's name, which she
has kept ever since, though the partnership be-
! tween these two popular writers has long been
| dissolved.
There has often been talk of electing the
author of &c Francois lie Champe," member of the
Academic Franchise y as he may be considered
one of the foremost amongst the romance writers
of our age, but the political law which shuts out
the fair sex from the throne, appears to hold good
in the literary monde. Nine. George Sand will,
therefore, have to quit the world without receiving
the reward allotted to great writer's in France.
This is the law of the unfair sex it is for the
ladies' to protest. 1t appears that one of them has
already entered the list, and book entitled
" Guerre aux Hommes," tries to show that women
have shown much more intellect than men, ever
since'the time of Adam. Nine. Oudouard, the author
of WAR to the Lords of the Creation,' classes the
, men much as collector of natural history would
his collections of animals, birds and insects. She
shows US one after another
The man-toad, who sullies the finest flowers with
his venom; he is generally fortyfye years of age
and wears whiskers and spectacles
. The man butterfly whose name designates his
systematic Inconsistency; he has no particular age
The man lark who is attracted by every thing
e that gIitters.
q The man chameleon, who changes his opinions
every week in love matters as well as in politics
The man discounter, cold and calculating, who
turns everybody and every thing to account, rela
s. tons friends, etc., so you see the women have
10 already taken the first step in Formidable rebel
u lion to overthrow the ascendancy of man.
/ Nine. Esther Seize, and many other conspirators
= are holding meetings where the tyranny of thei
e. lords and masters are daily denounced.
III The female rebellion, not satisfied with the agta
u ton of the tongue, has star ted Journal printed
&c rose colored paper and entirely written by blu

as high time that woman shall be put upon an equi
