BILLIARDS IN FRAECE.-Billiards forms
emphatically the national game of France.
Nearly every male citizen, from the prince
TO the chlttonier, knows how to play an
olIinary VI game. Good players are always
TO oe seen in Paris at the Grand Cafe. the
Cafe Molhonse, and the Cafe Mangip. The
proprietor OF this last, who is one of the
| best players in Paris, has lately published
asoook on billiards, which forms an excel
lent manual for beginners, and even exper-
lSu1eo Et pia2eTs might study it with profit.

OF wine or cigar by bis adversary will
generally elicit the opinion that "you play a
good game, and all you need is Practice"
Being once caught in q rain storm between

one of the best tables on which I have
played in Europe. The charge for PLAYING
was cents an hour. The general price in
France is IL cents an hour, with a small
extra charge at night to pay for the gas,
while in America it is about five times as
much, fact which may account for the
French playing better game than we do.

player, was formerly, it is said a waiter at

learned to play at night. After his com

POWERFUL ACTING.

On one occasion Edwin Forrest, then q
young man, and more famous for his mus
S!e than his genius, gave a tremendous
ulspiay of really powerful acting. He was
supposed to represent q Roman warrior,
and to be attacked by six minions Of a de-

lney were too tame. They didn't lay hold
OF him. They would not go in as if it were
a a real fight. Mr.. Forrest stormed and
threatened; the supes sulked and consult

De De bully fight, ell 2 Il do,' replied Mr..
Forrest. 'All right rejoned the captain,
ana the rehearsal quietly proceeded. In the
evening the little theatre was crowded,
ana Mr.. Forrest was enthusiastically re.
celved. When the fighting scene occurred,
tne great tragedian took the centre of the
stage, and the six miuions entered rapidly
ana deployed 10 skirmishing order. At the
cue, 'Seizs him i one minion assumed a
pugllistlc attitude and struck q blow
straight from his shoulder upon the promi-
neht nose of the Roman hero; another
raised HIM about six inches from the stage
by a well directed kick, and the others
made ready TO rush in for decisive tussle
For moment Mr.. Forrest stood astounded,

great eyes flashing like fire, hia sturdy
legs planted like columns upon the stage.
Ihen came few moments of powerful
acting, at the end of which one supe was
seen sticking head foremost in the bass
drum in tho orchestra; four were having
SAelr wounds dressed in the green room, |
ana one rushed out upon the roof of the |
theatre and shouted 'FIre!' at the top of his |
voice; while Mr.. Forrest, called before the
curtain, bowed his thanks pantingly to the
audience, who looked upon the
Whole affair rs part of the piece, and had
'eVer seen Forrest act so sPlendidly.'
