The carnival balls of the Opera COmique,

decided success. The ball opened at one
o'clock in the morning, and at that hour
the place was filled by crowds Of maskers
in every s-rt Of costume and disguise.
Satires on the clergy and on personages eel
ebrated in the political world, but in other
respects the fields Of choice was practically
unlimited. Yet, IN Justice 10 the Parisians,
it should be stated that English and Ameri-
cans Of both sexes formed a very respect
able minority Of the total number Of

TIE EARL OF ROSEBERY'S AMERI.
CAN BRIDE.

An event of decidedly uncommon i'm
portance will be the marriage Of a daUgh-
Ter Of Vim. Butler Duncan (house of Dun
can, Sherman & Co J to the Earl Of Rose
berry (not ROseberry), who is shortly eX
pected here to make her is bride. I heard
a gentleman say the other day, when speak
ing of this matter, ale will get the pet
tiest and the best girl in New York Mss
Duncan is a Young lady Of surprising beau
tv. and Of the utmost amiability
Of character. a great favorits in society,
and of such gentle and winning manner
that all who meet her are, / might say, en-
raptured. She is the eldest Of Mr.. Dun
cans children, and has just reached the full
bloom of early wOmanhOOd. The we'd
ding is expected to be one Of the most
brilliant that has ever taken place in
New York. The prospective husband
is a gentleman Of great " alth and
excellent character. The brides father
is one Of the richest men IN the me
tropolis. The Earl is, l believe, a Scotch
man bv birth. Mr.. Duncan is an Ameri-
can by birth, but of Scotch parentage. He
would probably be Mayor Of New York
TODAY il he had not positive refused last
fan TO be A candidate. His house is one Of
the most hospitable in the city, and be Is
persoually one Of our most popular and
highly esteemed citizens. I doubt if any
Young lady ever had more good wishes be-
fore marriage than 60 out TO Miss Duncan
from all quarters.

THE GREAT JEWEL THEFT.
London Correspondence Of the New York
Graphic.

Graphic.
All the world are talking Of the Dudley
Jewels. Il is believed that the thieves had
for some months been on the watch to get
an opportunity for the theft. However,
they ONLY got $4,000 worth and none Of
the best Jewels. The Dudley collection is
valued al nearly 100000, and is about
the finest in England. Lord Dudley has
been getting lectured by the press for his
conduct both in allowing lady's maid to
CARY f25,C 100 wort Of property in her hand,
and also for having offered $1,000 reward
and no questions asked for the return
Of the jewels, thereby compromising
a felony. Iquite agree in both criticisms,
and hope this robbery will be a warning to
pe0ple'not to be so reprehensibly careless
in the transportation of their personal prop
erty. fear Lord Dudley has little chance
of recovering the jewels, as they have long
since, in all probability, gone to Holland or
elsewhere to be broken up and sold as sep
arate stones.
