PARIS, Nov 27.-Rossi will never be quiet,
and so he honors himself when he honors us
with Signora Gleck as Lady Macbeth. The
piece will be brought forward next week.
Lecoq's new opera has been rehearsed at
the Renaissance.
Offenbach will at least be talked about, and
he will constantly get himself into hot water.
This time he has much reason for doing So,
and has brought suit at law to compel
Vezentini to produce at the "Gacete a new
version of La Belle Helene"
Sohlke danced for Americans in the
s'Black Crook" When she danced there few
would have thought whether the ddnseuse
was of any particular nationality. She was
under engagement in the Alcazar, but it hap
pens that she is compelled to renounce the
engagement because the other fguTd,des have
discovered that she is Prussian. They,
being flowers of France, will not assist one
whose limbs began to kick under the Prussian
flag. This is patriotism, and Sohlke could
not dance alone.
From Rossi to Sohlke is one step, and one
other step touches the circus Myers monster
combination is nearly completed. So strong
has been the effort to produce this gigantic
affair that the contractor has engaged to pay
a penalty of $500 for every day after the 18th
of December on which the grand pageant
shall remain uncompleted.
One can have no adequate idea OF how
much sensation is connected with the ex-
pectatlons of the Myers Circus unless it may
be known that its mere area covers ground
surface of $4,000 square feet The cost of
the works alone has been $500, 900. Sixteen
thousand dollars year is the rental price.
The troupe is immense enough for cru
sade 1t is really an army. No doubt when
so much penalty is to be incurred for failure,
the contractor will be ready for the opening
on the 18th of December Among the at
fractions will be nine elephants and it was
cafe wit who said that if the Prince of Wales
had come to Paris instead of going to India,
he might have moun'e ed nine elephants that
the Marquis of Hastings could not find time

ton by medical students, by which the de-
composed animal matter of the subject enters
the circulation, and kills the poor victim
rapidly; while students with an unimpairec
skin on their hands may dissect any subject
with impunity. A case is on record OF young
lady who kissed the dead body Of her father.
She had a little excoriation on her lip, which
was touched by the moisture on the lips Of
the corpse; it soon inhamed with all the
characteristics of virulent dissection wound,
and in few days she was corpse also The
poison had entered into the circulation OF her
blood
Experiments in this line are of course
highly Objectionable; but as far as experience
has shown most poisons OF this KIND may
with impunity be taken in the stomach. Ii
the saliva of man or animals has any danger
GUS qualities, it is mostly only manifest when
entering the circulation of the bitten individ-
ual, and especially when the saliva has been
changed in it's nature by the excitement OF
passions, such as great fear, anger, etc.
Hence arises the often malignant appearance
of bites by infuriated men or animals; while
the introduction of such saliva into the
stomach would undoubtedly, in most cases,
not be attended with serious consequences
This shows the absurdity of the idea that the
normal human saliva should be a poison in
the mouth of any animal, whether possessing
poison bags connected with its teeth or not.
The story reminds us OF one which went
round the papers some years ago, about a
man who was bitten by rattlesnake through
his boot. Long after his death every one who
ried on that boot died of the consequence of
scratch in the foot, produced by serpent's
Doth projecting inside the boot; and the
,ause of the mischief was only discovered
When many persons had been killed The
inventor of this story did not know that the
poison is active only when freshly
Injected from the poison bag

Wagner, that great drum major of the music
of the future, superintended the grand SEN
saton. We know what the result was in
Paris; the first act was failure, and Wagner,
with all his weird genius, could not or at
least did not set it right on last Monday night,
as we hear from Vienna.
But that Vienna should not be outdone by
the circus of Paris, the Viennese, in default OF
Wagner, filled the houses to see the elder
Hermann, the great prestidigtateur. Indeed,
the audiences which welcomed his slelght-of-
hand were something enormous. And every
one who has seen him will say that he is the
prime minister of bewilderment. He is really
a great, surprising magician.
