WOODS THEATER.-An immense and
brilliant audience greeted the first ap-
pearance of Lolita last evening. Not the
slightest deterioration is observable in
her acting. She displays the same vi
vacity and versatile powers, her style
and manners are as fascinating as ever,
and she eXerts the same magnetic lnf1u-
ence overher audience.
A more wonderful exhibition of histri-
onic talent is seldom witnessed than the
apparent ease with which she, in one
moment, in the pathetic part OF 'Iittle
Nell," draws tears from eyes unused to
weep, and the next arouses tumultuous
laughter by her Incompatible rendition
OF the vagarles and rare humor of the
''Marchioness."
The support was excellent, especially
the part Of the Old Grandfather, by Mr..
Lord; that OF Mrs. farley, by Miss
Champion; and that Of Sallie Brass, by
Mrs. Lawrence. Sheridan's "Quilp" was
most commendable performance, and
we were agreeably surprised by Mr..
Woods "Dfck Swiveller." The same
bill is announced for this evening.

A Druidisal Wedding.

The following description of a mar
riage in the Druidical days is given IN
Saintine's "Myths of the Rhine"
AT a place where two roads meet the
cracking of whip is heard; hogs, sheep,
and small oxen are driven aside to make
way for kind of procession, consisting
of grave and solemn men and women.
1t is wedding.
Two young people have just had their
union blessed by the priests under the
sacred oak. The bride Is dressed in
black and wears wreath OF dark leaves
on her head. She walks in the midst oil
her friends. A matron, who walks on
her left, holds before her eyes a white
cloth; it is a shroud, the shroud in which
she will be buried one of these days. On
her right Druid intones a chant in
which he enumerates in solemn rythm
all the troubles and all the anxieties
which await her in welded life.
From this day, young wife, thou alone
wilt have to bear all the burdens of your
united household.
You will have to attend the baking
oven, to provide fuel, and to go in search
of food; you will have to prepare the
resinous torch and the lamp.
You will wash the linen at the foun-
tain, and you will make up the clothing.
You will attend to the cow and even
to the horse If your husband requires it.
Always full of respect, you will wait
on him, standing behind him at his
meals.
If he expresses wish to take you with
him TO war, you will accompany him to
carry his baggage, to keep his arms in
good condition, and to nurse him if he
should be sick or wounded.
Happiness consists in the fultilment of
duty. Be happy, my child.
What is still more strange is that this
dolorous wedding song, but slightly al
tered, is still in some parts of France
at this day addressed to brides by local
minstrels.

At the recent meeting of the pig iron

Atthe recent meeting of the pig iron
manufacturers, in Philadelphia, it was
stated that In 1856, when the annual
production of the world was about 7,O00,-
600 tons, it was predicted that in 1875 it
would reach Ia, 900, 900, and this limit was
passed last year, for it was 15,0OO,OOO
tons. At the close of the present GEN.
tury it is believed that an annual pro-
duction of %, 900, 900 tons will be required
to supply the wants OF man. England,
in 1853, furnished one-half the annual
supply, and she has been able to main
tain this ratio till the present time. But
her resources will be taxed to their ut
most to keep up with the increasing de-
mand at its inevitable rate of progress,
when it shall exceed $4,000, 900 tons per
annum.

Traits Of Girardin.


With all his defects, Girardip is one of
the very best of French political editors,
and has done much good to his profess
ion. He is said to be the founder of the
feuilleton; the originator also of the ex-
tremely brief photographic style now so
universally adopted here. UnquesIion-
ably he las studied effect. He has kept
himself before the public for well nigh
half a century, and if he should cease to
be talked of, he would die of chagrin in
less than twelve months. He appears to
have calculated very closely the time
when he needed to make some new move
in this or that direction in order. to ad-
vertise himself afresh 1t is believed he
challenged Armand Carroll in 1886, not
because the National editor had offended
him more than other journalists, but be-
cause he could gain special eclat by
fighting with SO distinguished and popu-
lar journalist.
Girardin's marriage, ere he had grown
famous, to the witty and charming Del
phine Gay, known in literature as "Vi-
comte de Launay,o was less from love
than vanity; he thinking that the hus-
band of SO fine woman must become
the talk and envy of the town. After her
death he took for wife Nina de Titien-
bach, daughter of an eX-otticial of Vien-
ma, who had been made countess by the
duke of Nassau. A plethoric phamphle-
teer he has been from the beginning.
Sometimes he has printed dozen year;
no season passing without at least one
from his pen. He deems it absolutely
ESSENTIAL that ne should express his
views at length ON every public ques-
ton; that nothing may be settled in the
minds of the nation until his opinions
have been clearly ascertained.
His most noted achievement in lltera-
ture is the drama "Punishment of Wo-
man" (Suplice dune Femme }, in which
Alexander Dumas assisted him so much,
in truth, that most of its excellences are
supposed to be the latter's. Girardin
boasted that he wrote it in three days !;
Dumas declared that he spent three
weeks putting it into shape.-Paris let
