tai 20 Of September, 1870, and who have not in
any way submitted to, or made common cause
WITH the new authorities.
A writer says, in speaking ofsMlle. Mars, SIT
was in 1895 that this artistic, the greatest of the
comediennes of our crDtury, made her debut on
the boards of Comedie Franchise. Beautiful,
graceful and winning, with fnll, brilliant dark
eyes, dazzling teeth, voice of music and a
form which to her latest days rever ceased to

BY storm. have been told by those who can
remember her during the last years of her bril-
liant career, that she was the last Of the great
ladies of the stage, her distinction of manner
and elegance of diction being singularly per-
feet. She excelled in high comedy, though ad-
mirable in tragedy, but she had two serious de-
fects, one of which-strange deficiency for
French woman-was an absolute lack of taste
in Dress Victor Hugo has recorded how she
annoyed him by persisting in playing the We
netian Thisbe in his "Angelo" in fur-bor-
dered round Russian cap, which she fancied
made her look youthful Her other and more
natural error was her persistence in playing
the parts of girls of seventeen when she her
self was long past fifty When Alexander Du-
mas wrote his "Mademoiselle de Belle isle"
one of the most finished and charming of his
many dramas, he destined for Mile. Mars the
role of the grand coquette, Nine. de Prize, but
nothing would serve the venerable actress but
the part of the youthful Gabrielle de Belle Isle.
Play that part she would, and play it she did,
and that, too, in admirable fashion.
According to New York paper Nilsson las
recsntly written to friend in New York, in
which she expresses her deep regret at not

Current Notes.

If there had been independence enough in
the Democratic party of Missouri to have en-
ulated the example of the Republicans in
Michigan, Wisconsin, and California, there
is no doubt the next Senate would have
been the ablest since the days of the giants.
Philadelphia Times
Among 80 or more retiring Republican
Congressman, all men Of influence and con-
sideration in their respective states, it ought
not to be thought strange or cause of le-
proach that the President finds half dozen
who are fit for public employments and
willing to accept them Worcester Spy.
The times are full Of signs that the Repub-
lican party is not moribund, nor mastered by
the tendencies and spirit which brought it so
low in the November elections, but is about
recovering its old power and prestige. This
is the better worth considering because any
third party movement is totally hopeless.
Not only Is there no time and no distinct is
sue to raise which would carry the mass of
the party into new organization, but the
most trusty and sagacious protesting Repub-
licans do not entertain such a project for a
moment. They know that the fight is to be
made with the old army, or not at all--Har-
per's Weekly.
A statement is going the rounds that Mr..
Kerr is now ahead in the race for the speak
ership Of the Democratic house; that Fer
nando Woods friends are nowhere, and that
Mr.. Cox is considered too funny for speaker.
Let this be swallowed with a grain of salt.
Mr.. Kerr Is much too sound on the currency
and tariff questions to be honored with the
speakersbip by the majority in the next
house, and, withal, he isn't suave enough,
nor sufficiently vehement hater of Republi-
cans and "niggers." Besides, Fernando Wood
is sly old fox, with plenty OF ducats, and an
excellent faculty of applying them to the, pro-
duction Of banquets, and of dispensing
princely hospitality generally. Another little
fact that seems to be too generally overlooked
Is that the southern Democrats will have a
majority in the Democratic caucus, and that
they may quietly agree to bring forward a
man of their own-Mr. Lamar, for instance,
when the trouble begins. There is pos
sibity, at least, of an exhibition of the good,
old-fashioned, cat-and-dog Democratic har-
mony before the speakership tournament is
over.-Chicago Times.
The Cincinnati Gazette thinks one of the
best ways to avoid improper legislation in
| Congress is to admit the heads Of depart
ments to the floor to take part in the debate.
In letter to the Milwaukee Ne,cs denying
an assertion of that journal that he opposed
the appointment of a certain pension agent,
Ex-senator Carpenter says: II had hoped
that after was out of the Senate you would
stop mlsrepresenting me by original state
ment or copied falsehood. 1 am not so un-
reasonable as to expect you 20 stop short, for
