assigned being sore throat on the part Of

Guilty WIS OF different character. The stars
have drawa very poor houses during their en-

been giyen to Mr.. Cathcart, IN actor possess-
ing the youth, grace and force which Mr.
kean lacks, who has taken leading parts III
support Of the stars in their tour around the
world. This is not to the taste Of Mr.. Kean,
who Is proud, jealous and selE-wflled as was
his fAther, and he saw fit to forbid Mr. Cath

enthusiastic call Of the audience after his de-
livery Of aiacduti's passage at the close ef the

Emperor, for Prince Napoleon was extremely
liberal IN tone, even approaching something
analogous to Democracy. : It tells, moreover;
that the influence Of the Empress Is IN the ~.
cendaut, and that the Jcsu1ts arc al1-powetfnl
At the Tat1Ieties.
Outside The palace and the purely agzscnl-
tursl regions Of the Enpire-fn which lstter
the priesthood hare always maintained fhe,r
power and induence-dsmocratic views seem
to be taking drmer hold than ever upon the
French people. In the large cities and great
centres Of population and intelligence, It be-
comes more than ever difficult for the Gov
eminent to carry the elections. The result
may not be seen during the lifetime of the
present Emperor, but, when be Is removed,
the popular ill must very soon evfnce Itself
In decisive action. Frenchmeu are wont to
assure foreigners. "The Emperor has taught
Us to ws1t," and they are waiting aud work
ing silently. A wel1known and talented
friend Of the United States, and one of your
most Eealous champions during the late war,
Is now candidate for the representation Of
the Department OF the Lower Rhine, In which
Strhsbourg Is situated. He Is Professor In
the College of France, but will ba best known
to Americans as the author OF Paris In
America NF. Laboulaye's election Is nj
most certainty, for radicals" and "mo-
derates" alike are earnest In his favor. OF
course the Government 1s doing all In its
power TO deleat this democratic Professor.
TIE REFORM MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND.
Since the Freo Trade agitation Of twenty
hye years ago, and the reform excitement In
-leIsSs, We have had no such "hn' In England as
at the present time. Our papers are literally
teeming with reports Of mass meetings from
Cornwall to Northumberland, and from
Wales to the German Ocean. Scotland and
ireland. moreover, are peiitionine Parliament
to let the eut1rage Bill for England pass, as
they know their turns will come next. It is
amusing to read the editorials In the ''bloody
old 1Wnea''-as Daniel OConnelf used to call
N-and the Tory organs. According to them,
nobody hurt and nobody wants reform;

lCAom AAt 1aze*tH t13.} hepuoNcdu- LIN,
About II o'clock last night tire broke out
IN the row ct wooden buildings on Canal
street, between Second aud Third streets,
apparently originating In the upper story Of
the building occupied BY Bertsch 4 Bro, as a
meat market. The wind blew westward,
carrying the fire upon the adjoining buildings,
which tgnited like tinder, and soon giving
such headway to the conaagration as to
nearly cause the abandonment OF all hope Of
saving single wooden building on the block.
The FIRE companies were promptly on hand,
which. In connection with the hook and lad
der company. did heroic work. The tearing
down Of the bulldog formerly occupied BY
Cramer Bros. rs drug store, created gap
by which the fire was arrested at that point.
