A French Actress,

Aimee Desclee was buried on Tues
day, March 10, and It is needless to say
that most of the dramatic authors III
Paris, and the first actors and actresses
followed her remains to the grave. Al
exander Dumas pronounced touching
Grafton over her tomb, taking on him
self much of the guilt of her death. He
had persuaded Aimee Desclee to re-
nounce the provinces and to come to
Paris. She expressed the fear that she
would be unable to stand acting the
same piece night after nigh in the
presence of critical audience. In the
country she never played the same piece
more than four or five consecutive
nights, and the people put up with her
eccentricities She yielded, however,
came to Paris, and played for year ;
then she wrote TO Alexander Dumas
that she was worn out, and that she
would only return if he declared she
was indispensable. "She had just
played FrOu-F Tou for hundred nights
that pretty little Partisan soul, born
in peal of laughter, evaporated In a
tear" Alexander Dumas soon wrote to
Aimee Desclee that she was lndlspen-
sable, and she returned to the Gymnase
and played in "La Visite de Noces and
La Princesse Georges. The first
comedy was only one act, and yet she
threw SO much of her being into 1t that
on leaving the stage she had lnvariably
to throw herself on sofa, and remain
there for half an hour, just as Rachel
used to do after tragedy.

1.-THE Outlaws Daughter" is one OF
Emerson Benefits ablest productions,
intensely thrilling, and the plot never
loses its hold on the reader S attention
from the first chapter to the conclusion.
The styles terse, rapid and picturesque,
and many of the incidents are related
with a vivid dramatic power that calls
for high degree OF praise. The scene
is laid on the Red river in Louisiana
previous to the war, when portions OF
the State were over-run by outlaws |
who perpetrated all manner Of
crimes, even to kidnapping negroes
TO sell in other States. Here the |
original Yankee and Southern planter
are brought together, and the
planter by high integrity of character
and purpose, genuine hospitality, won
lifelong respect and friendship, and ban
ishing the prejudice into nothingness,
which at that period existed to such
powerful! extent between the two Sec
tons. The dark, revengeful Spanish
life, with all its varied form of hatred and
passion, is fully depicted. The book is
replete with hair-breadth escapes and
wild adventures that are incident only to
border life. The outlaw and confede-
rates all met with deserved punishment.
The outlaws daughter who was by
nature a nobly grand, beautiful woman,
who became a Nemesis only through
unrsquited love, proved that she was at
last a true woman, by becoming Sister
of Charity, and living the pure, holy life
ofan angel of mercy.

stolen Bonds.

BROOKLYN, January l3.-Considerable
excitement exists hero regarding a
quantity of bonds alleged to have been
stolen from the Comptroller's office, and
great reticence is maintained in regard
to the matter. A politician named
Frank yesterday attempted to cash some
coupons at the Nassau Bank. The
cashier refused payment, and Frank
was taken to the Copptroller's Office,
where the Treasurer stated that he
coupons belonged to the stolen bonds.
Frank was allowed to depart, but will be
arrested to-day. The total amount of
bonds stolen is believed to be $4,000,
all of which has been recovered, with
the exception of $4,000 or $1,000.
