GERMAN RULE IN SOHLESWIG.

From the Irish Dubln) Times, Oct. IL
The North German Gazette protests against the
conclusions that have been drawn BY The European

Theatrical Novelties In Paris.
PARIS, Oct. Ia, 1874.
Paris has quite q wealth OF novelties in the
theatrical way for the coming season. In the first
place the AmbiRu-Comique SO long degraded into
dirt and drearlness by the parsimony OF NJ. Billion,
has passed under . new management, and has
beer fitted up with such extraordinary spendor
that its decorations Will eclipse those OF the new
Opera House, which Is to be opened next year.
The success OF the first performances which have
been held there is prodigl0us the theatre having
been reopened by
"L'OFFICIER DE FORTUNE"
q drama In five acts and ten tableaux, written
by NJ. Jules Adenis and NJ. Jules Rostaing. 1t is
founded on the well known story OF Baron Trenck
and the authors have made the most Of
his wonderful adventures. The chief thing
to be noticed however, about the Am
bigu Theatre Is that managers cannot
spend too much money on public entertainments
II they look for prodts. 1t seems as II we had all
OF us to unlearn the old moralites "A penny
saved is twopence gained'' has been one OF the
last which kept It's hold on the minds Of eau tous
people. NJ. Billion, the late manager Of the Am
bigu, was quite pattern OF economy. He split
all his cents into four Slices and never paid away
one OF them II he could help 1t. He got actors and
actresses cheap by watching hts opportunity and
making shrewd bargains with them. He
found ont authors and scene painters
who we're in want, and gave them em.
ployment In the dun season Of the year when
they could not find 1t elsewhere He was clever
manager, too, and had keen judgment In select
ing plays which were likely to please the public.
He made several tremendous hits, such as
"LArticle 45;'' and he formed Nine. Rousseil, VINO
Is now the best tragic actress at the Francais but.
after all, his economy only conducted him into
total failure. Here are some OF the new pieces at
the French theatres this season.
LA FAMILLE TEOUILLAT,'.
an Operetta IN three acts, by NM Hector
Cremieux and Ernest Blum; music by NJ. Vasseur
The old idea OF . French operetta was represented
BY q sparkling little piece, in one act like the
'Chien du ColOneLn which was performed on the
rising OF the curtain, and was meant TO put people
In good humor before the commencemenr OF the
principal performance OF the evening NM. Hector
Uremieux and Ernest Blum, however, assisted by
M. vasseur, appear to think that there need be no
difference between an operetta and comic opera
At all events they have produced o most agreeable
trine IN this shape, though 1t Is rather dicult to
put the subject Of their piece into conventional
English. The 1rouillat family are people who
come from Honneur In wagon to this metropolis

Then there was an ambition among the young
men to excel. Their object was to acquire the
most learning in the least possible time, and

pared for useful lives. j am proud to know
that the tutelar spirit still presides over that
hill, and hope IL will never forsake IL. hon
