One OF the most amusing chapters in the
book we have just quoted is that entitled
"Les Soufdeurs (the prompters), describing
the peculiarities of various prompters. One
OF them was so carried away by his interest in
what passed on the stage that he entirely for
got his duties. and applauded or derided the
actors when he ought to have given them the
word. Another was obliged to leave his post
by reason of his susceptible temperament,
which caused his attention to wander when
ever an attractive actress came near his box
A m snager who was afflicted with prompter
of this kind had the happy idea of replacing
him with souffleuse "-"but," says our
author, "look at his bad luck! He could
not keep her, because his jeune premier fell in
love with her at sight"
Passing to grave topic, am happy to
inform you that great interest is taken here
in your centennial celebration. and that every
branch of French industry will be fully rep
resented at Philadelphia next summer. In
addition to the handsome appropriation al
ready made by the government, it is conten-
plated to raise by private subscription sum
sufficient to defray the travelling expenses to
America Of some fifty skilled workmen or
head mechanics belonging to the various
branches of French manufacturing industry,
and from the character of the parties who
have taken the initiative in this matter the
movement cannot but prove successful.
There is very general desire to take ad-
vantage of this national festival, recalling as
it does the historical friendship of the two
countries, to draw closer the bonds of union
between the Republic of France and that of
the United States, and to revive the memories
of that glorious period when the names of
Washington and Lafayette, of Rochambeau
and Franklin and Jefferson were familiar as
household words on both sides of the Atlantic.

AN ABBOTT ON THE WATCH.

Probably but very few of the thousands
who daily gaze into the resplendsnt windows
of Griswold & Co.'s jewelry establishment, at
the corner of Canal and Royal streets, who
have ever noticed, just inside the glass door
opening into the window on the right, light
brass frame on which some scores of watches
are always hanging.
Behind the counter, in the rear of that spot.
our good -natured friend Abbott presides as
chief of the repair department. He has this
little frame before him, and when gentle
man leaves watch for regulation or clean
Ing the owners name is written on a little
slip and attached to the watch, and it is hung
upon bar of the frame.
How the class of shar pers who infest our
city at all times, peering through the Royal
street window have, several times, managed
to read the names on these little slips, and
with an effrontery as free and bold as the
double tick of some of Abbott's watches, have
entered the store, demanding Mr.. Jones's or
somebody else's Tobias patent lever. Our
friend has never yet been deceived, and
though often tested, has never failed to recog-
nize the scamp in the inquirers face.
Not long since the Rev. Mr.. Smith, of the
Third District, left with Mr.. Abbott full
jeweled Jurgensenn chronometer for cleaning,
and few DAYS afterwards man entered the
store and asked for it. When requested to
state where Mr.. Smith lived he stammered
and hesitated and showed strong evidences
that he wanted to get off. When told the
watch was not ready he left hurriedly.
Shortly after that the genial Charley Nash
of auctiOn fame drOpDed in to leave his re-
peater for repair.
Now, there has been in Mr.. GrSwolds
store an old watch left there uncalled for for if
teen years, and this is generally given gentle
IA en- to wear while theirs is being repaired.
This is usually hung in certain place, but as
the fates would have it, the Rev. Mr.. Smith
had it while his valuable one was being
cleaned.
Abbott without looking, and thinking he
was handing Mr.. Nash the old watch, passed
out the minister's Jurgensenn, and nothing
more was thought of it. After WHILE how
ever, the Rev. Mr. Smith called for it. Abbott
was dumbfounded 1t was gone. He re-
membered the attempt to steal it. He remem-
bered the fact that it was given to some one;
but who? Next mornings BULLETIN contained
an advertisement setting forth that fifty dol
lars would be paid for the return of watch
taken by mistake by some gentleman from
A. B. Griswold's store
Days passed and no watch came. One day,
however, MnSsh dropped in to get his. and
there, 10 andBshold! he returned the missing
ticker. Abbott was himself again. The
chronometers around him licked cold Dan
Tucker" that day, and the clocks struck
"Dixie." So that this mistake may never
occur again, a new system of checks has been
adopted.

Receivers Appointed.
Judge Hawkins Issued An Order.

There was filed in the Superior District
Court Tuesday, a long petition by A. T. Ben.
nett and Lyman J. Dodge, asking that they

ton of the sale was made by the court, after

property in common, and say that they do
not wish any longer to hold in common, and
pray for sale to effect partition of the pro-
perty among the owners.
The order appointing them was issued
