ENGAGEMENT OF FRENCH DRAMATIC TROUPE
We have the pleasure of informing cur readers,
those especially who are conversant with the
French language, that Mr.. A. Durand has secured
ginning on the 18th of January next, for the use
Of his French dramatic COMPANY, which he is
now engaged in New York in filing up with the
best talent that can be obtained.
We have already had the pleasure OF meeting
MIR. Durand professionally in this city, which
leads us to hope that his enterprise will be sue
cessful. Mr.. Durands company will, during their
stay among us, present some OF the latest Paris
ian pieces, including "Bebe" and "Les Dominos
Roses" When performed in their original French
form they will doubtless prove new attractions.
We will, from time to time, inform our readers Of
the projects Of Mr.. Durand, and by anticipation
we wish him hearty welcome.
Balls.
We acknowledge the receipt of tickets to a
grand dress ball, to be given on Saturday even
ing, November II, at Odd Fellows Hall, by the
Harmony Social Club. The German Military
Band has been secured to discourse dulcet meas
ures for the occasion, and 1t is to be the grand
inaugural OF the season, we are assured.
Varieties Theatre.
As compensation for the previous night there
was splendid matinee at the Varieties Theatre
at noon yesterday. At night "Conscience" was
repeated for the last time to small audience
again. We can liken the play only to fne piece
OF wood spoiled in the hands Of bad carpenter.
With all the excellent intentions of its author, it
lacks terribly OF sustained action, and will re-
quire remanipulation by an expert hand
before it can be made attractive. We noticed
little or no improvement on the part
Of the performers, if we except, however, Mr.. J..
T. Alexander, who read his scene with Miss
Claxton in the fourth act in manner to elicit ap-
plause-justly merited, we should add. To-
night the English version of Victorien sardous
" Frou.F z" will be presented, Miss Kate
Claxton attempting, for the first time the part of
GIberte (Frou-F rou), Miss Laura Phillips will
assume that of Louise and Miss Lillian @. Clark
that of the Baronne de Carobri, MIR. @. A. Steven
son will be the C0nate de Valreas, the friend of
the husband, and Mr.. Alexander, the husband,
Henri de Saatorys.
st. Charles Theatre.
The reduction in prices at the st. Charles has
had an excellent effect. The German Military
Band will continue to entertain their audiences
with the best of music during the entire week.
The next occupants of the stage at this thea
tire will be McOallister and his company Of ma
gicians. McCallister is the son Of the great
prestidigitateur Of the same name, who visited
us about twenty years ago. His performances
have the reputation of being not only excellent,
but of being of novel character.

THE BALLAST QUESTION.

In accordance with the determination Of the
city authorities to enforce the ballast ordinance,
Administrator Cavanac proposes to publish
notice ordering the removal of certain piles Of
ballast remaining on the landings Of the upper
districts, the owners Of which are unknown.
After reasonable delay the Administrator pro-
poses to use the ballast to fill up the holes in the
battures Of that section Of the city mot however,
where riparian properly owners claim batture
rights. 1t is claimed that very large amount
Of batture can be thus reclaimed, worth thou
sands of dollars to the city.

TENDER" would simply be courting dis
credit. Paper and metal can only live
together when the former, like an old
bank note convertible at will, is volun-
tarily received. Any legislative attempt
to make them equal must inevitably
prove a failure. Under certain circum-
stances the legal tender might be at a
premium in gold, and the next day at a
discount. The whole history of the
financial world shows that with paper
