A singular scene occurred recently during
performance at the theatres of Nantes France.
Madlle g., seated in the dress circle, was OBJ
served to be In a state of great excitement, and,
during the interval between the first and second
acts of Roland RonceUdur, was seized with
nervous attack, and had to be removed to the
saloon, where she recovered and then resumed
her place. Her agitation, however, again came
on, and as soon as the curtain had dropped for
the second time she got up and walking straight
to a gentleman who was seated with his newly
married wife in the same gallery gave MIN a
violent slap in the face. The wife maintained
perfect composure during this scene, and after
waiting until the excitement had somewhat
calmed down, left the house, the police having,
in the meantime, removed the assaiant, who
had been abandoned by the man.

Lost Douphters In England.

A few weeks ago, young girl OF fifteen was
brought before the Thames Police Court, London,
charged with insubordination in workhouse,
where she had been several weeks in the casual"
ward. The report of the case published in the
daily papers, attracted attention; and when she
was next brought up, host of persons in all
parts of the kingdom, whose daughters, all
about the same age as the prisoner, were miss
ing, had written to the magistrate, to the chap
lain, and to the master OF st. Georges work
house, each hoping that the prisoner, was
the "lost daughter" There were two ladies
from Liverpool in court, who had each lost
daughter fifteen years of age. The MAGISTRATE,
at the close of the examination, marked that
the publication of that days proceedings would
be a sufficient answer to the numerous persons
who had written him respecting lost children.
A London journal says:-'A source of ire
mediable sorrow on an extensive scale is thus
revealed. The publication OF a single case
brings TO light the fact that there are, at tins
moment, numerous persons-'a host OF
mothers-in this country mourning the loss
of daughters of the age of fifteen, who have
been kidnapped or enticed from home"
