the lady frog, who will perform some remarkable
markable feats performed by ladies out OF aqua
RUNS" says the PdN Mall Gazette ''that it will
indeed be a gratifying novelty to see them inside
tank, and nothing they can do there is likely TO
surprise us indeed, If the feats to be performed in
any way resemble some OF the recent exhibitions
an aquarium well hidden with weeds will be a very
proper arena for the exhibition. We learn also
from the Musical STANDARD that the ballet master
of a French theatre is training monstrous snake
to take part in ballet, the scene of which is laid in
the Garden of Eden The Musical Standard is in
clined to discredt the statements but think that
nothing can he more natural on the stage, at pre-
ting out Of Paradise and dancing pas de dOuy the
presence Of the cherubim with the flaming sword.
We fear, however, that the serpent Will lind the fall
Of man has gone rather farther than he intended 1t
will be necessary to instruct tue corps de bet that
in the ScriptuTal account the absence of clothing
preceded instead OF followed the fall"
