DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.

THE opera of "Don Juan" has been gorgeous
ly revived in Paris. The ballroom scene is
superb, showing a long vista of splendid sa-
looms, and at the end group OF statuary in
marble, showing white against the blue moon
light sky that Is seen through an open arch
way in the background. Over 200 dancers and
fgurantes take part in this scene, which is a
marvel OF changing and brilliant colors.

QUAY NOTES.

The first gun in the Conkling campaign
burst at the breach.
Important society item: Senator Conkling
is not al Narraganse.t Pier.
They are betting tutor one that the Ger
man tutor was Roscoe Conkling.
Mr.. Conkling is inclined to believe that
Rhode Island Is the pivotal State.
The German professors story is a tale of
Linck-ed sweetness long drawn out.
Mr.. Conkling has not yet sand that he is
innocent of the great transgression.
Senator Conkllng must quarantine against
ex senator Sprague and his shot gun.
Mr. Conkling can never be president The
White House is not that kind of a house.
Conkling is a decided beau, and when he
leads the German It's 3 pretty dance indeed.
The moral of the Narragansett Pier matter
is-but there isn't anything moral about it.
Mr.. Conkling's terms for teaching the Ger
man language are very reasonable-only $50
a month.
1t will take a dozen BARRIERS a week to ar
range ConkliDg's locks after the Providence
incident
1t is all mistake. 1 merely went to Mar
ragansett Pier to see the sea-serpent-Roscoe
Conkling.
Poor John Sherman must be consumed
with grief at the disaster which has over
taken Roscoe Conkling
Even if he was drunk. little sprague knew
s., 900 year senator from $50 month
teacher of foreign language.
What's the use of fooling away your time
at q summer resort, when there's plenty of
political work to be done in New York?
MIR. Conkiing.
The senator from New York, who hasn't
any Southern ''chivalry" ABOUT him, but
claims to be a type of the superior ciyiliza-
ton of the North. depreciates this exhibi-
ton of plantation manners" in Rhode
Island. 1t is quite out of place-auite. The
intrusion of a shot gun in his pleasures was
downright impertinence, unworthy North
ern civilization.

MR.. ENGLISH EsrIaELY INDICATED.

Mrs. Annie Fox Clark, with the approval
of her husband, has voluntarily signed
statement entirely generating Will Eng
lish from blame. This was wholly unneces-
sary.. He did not need 1t. Will is not a
saint, but is genial, clever young fellow,
and every one felt there was nothing very
culpable in this affair, even in the worst
phase it was presented. But 1t was colored
and exaggerated because of the Conkling
affair, and the natural desire of
reporters to make sensational Item;
and besides some notoriety has probably
been given to it with view to advertise
the lady in professional way. There was
not enough in 1t, however, to injure Mr..
English (even without the lady's statement)
or to justify 1.-THE of what has been said
about 1t. The following is statement by
the lady in the case, as telegrahed to the
News yesterday evening:
have Just been shown accounts in the New
and other indianapolis papers. They all d.
great In; ustice. Mr.. English has not Spoken
to me In other than a kindly manner, and
have never, as stated, received any presents o
money from him. While admit my deel
affection for him, as charged, 81 shall In NJ
way interfere with my duty as q wife, and m,
husband Is satisfied with my course. The In
terviews with me, as given, are almost en-
tirely manufactured, and the only true &C
count OF the affair appears In the New Yorl
Mercury Of this week. As to the shootin
| AFFAIR, It was the result OF an unfortunate mis-
| take, in which no one is to blame. 1 hop
| you will give this dispatch the publicity yor
gave the other article. ANNIE Fox CLARK.

JUDAH P. BENJAMIN, the secretary of state

have occupied about 200, GOA, 900 of years: the

have occupied about 200. 100000 of years; the
old red sandstone, the carboniferous, and
the poikilitic systems another 200, 600, 600;
and all the other strata, the remaining 2OO,-
600, 600. Mr.. Reade is. therefore, led to be-
lieve that geological time has been enor-
mously in excess of the limits urged by GER
tain physicists: that it has been ample to al
low for all the changes which, on the n.y.
pothesis of evolution, have occurred in the
organic world.
The effort of Mr.. Reade at guessing, all
will admit is simply stupendous; and, es
he puts it, the time allowed the Creator to
build the world is sufficiently extended, if
only time was required for monkeys to
become men, tadpoles hippopotami, and
grasshoppers elephants The conclusions of
Mr.. Keade antagonizes the simple grandeur
OF the Mosaic account, that "In the begin
ming God created the heavens and the earth, y"
as also, "For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all things
that in them ISL This is a declaration,
a grand revelation, truth that
the rocks can not tell nor man
demonstrate by figures. IfGod made Heaven
and earth, he could have made them in a
minute as well as in 600, 600, 600 years. and
by all of the laws of the physical universe
all things must have been completed at the
same instant of time or wild confusion
would have taken the place of order. The
rock records will not answer the demand
from another consideration, for if 1t required
800, 900 600 of years to create the world, what
would be the time required to create the
sun and some of the planets by the
same process? Skepticlsm lays hold
upon the rock readings of biologists
to overthrow the Bible account of creation.
1t changes the accepted chronology of Gre
alton from 5000 years to 600, 900 years,
and if the silent rocks are to be accepted as
superior testimony to the declaration of God
himself. then revelations must sit dumb in the
presence of the fanciful conclusions of those
who profess to derive superior knowledge by
consulting limestone, granite and flint.

THE department of state wants to advance
the pay of minister to England to $25, 600
a year. 1t has been found out that ST., 500
will not enable the minister to keep time to
the aristocratic step of England and main
tain his social standing with English snobs.
1t is quite likely that such miserable blather-
sixties as Schenck, Pierrepont and WEIGH re-

such minister as Charles Francis Adams

GRANT, in Pekin around China, has got
himself into business. He has agreed to
settle the difficulty between China and
Japan, growing out of the Loochoo ques-
ton. Grant admits that he knows nothing
about the matter in controversy, but that
makes little difference to the heather Chi
nese or to Grant. Ignorance does not dis
qualify man for high position, in Grant s
estimation, and if he be vicious as well as
ignorant, then he becomes Grants beau
ideal
