that on the sixth day after the Rich went
ashore he observed poles standing out
from the rocks on a key two miles away,
and with some Of the sailors rowed to
the spot and discovered the hull of an
iron vessel nearly submerged. Near
their landing place, in a rough circular
structure built Of stones, they found two
decomposed bodies of seamen, and in
another hut a third body was found, and
on the opposite side of the principal hut
was found a third shelter in which was
still another body in a recumbent posi-
ton, resting against the wall. There
was no food found, and it was evident
the men had died from starvation.

A short time since, as | am informed
by a private letter from Paris, a number
Of literary Bohemians were assembled
in Jacques Ofenbach's eosey little sit
ling room in the French capital, talking
sprightly Of everything in general and
nothing in particular. Gradually the
conversation drifted into a sort of argu-
ment to the effect that the most popular
incidents travestied on the comic stage
we're really based on some actual occur
renee in life. This was doubted by some.
and one Of these introduced the charac.
ter Of Fritz in the Grand Duchess as so
ridiculous and absurd, especially his
being run through all grades Of military
promotion to the highest in FIVE minutes.
that anything remotely like it could
never have really happened. 0fenbach
smiled at this assertion, and cut the de-.
bate short by saying that the incident
was taken from actual life. This was a
sumner to the company. who all asked
for the proof which 0fenbach at once
gave by telling them the following story:

orders to admit no one. AS he was
slowly passing up and down before the
door, PRINCE Menchikof, the iayorite
minister Of the Gear, approached, at
tempting TO enter. He was stopped by
the recruit. The prince, who had the
fullest liberty Of calling upon his master
at any time, sought TO push the guard
aside and pass him, yet the young man
would not move, bpt ordered bis high

what it meant, and the prince told him.

weak dramatization Of very fine novel,
one of the best of Dickens, David Cop

tons Of people. The play, such as it is,

~isfactory to those comprising the audi

This evening a change of bill will be

his great specially "Falstaf," in Henry

an audience. Indeed, it may, with criti-
cal truth be said, that Mr.. DeBar plays
this role better than any other, and by
this We mean the entire role as presented
both in Henry Nv and in the Merry
Wives Of Windsor.
At the matinee tomorrow Honeymoon
will be the dramatic attraction, aud at
night the Merry Wives of Windsor will
be presented. Mr.. DeBar is well sup
ported by his company, it being by long
odds the very best company that has
ever appeaaed here under his manage
ment.

will appear are, Belle Pauline, serio.

The Committee on Wharf and Land.
ing reported last night on the recent ex'
traordinary message of his Honor, the
Mayor, regarding the condition of the
landing, They called attention to an
ordinance passed in September, 1874. re-
quiring all collections at the wharf to
be applied to the protection and repair
of the wharf and landing, and reminded
his Honor that if the money SO collected
had been otherwise applied the fault was
not with the Council. Well, We knew
hat before; what next2 Is the matter
to rest there2 1t is very surprising, if
not improbable, that the Mayor should
be ignorant Of a law which he approved
himself, sud still more surprising that he
should put in ignorance as a plea of de.
tense.
