But small audience was present last even
ing at CarIl's Opera House when Suppe's
jolly opera ''Bocaccio" was given by Mains
Comic Opera company, but it was SO well
rendered that those who did attend were very
much pleased. Though generally of high
er character than that of the usual comic
opera, the score is full of gay and sparkling
music and airs that suit the popular ear. The
comical situations and the wit in the dia-
logue kept the audience in the best of hu-
NOR, and several times they broke out into
applause, several numbers hav-
ing to be repeated once or twice. The char
aeter of ''Bocaccio" was capitally rendered
by Miss Jennie Winston, who has musical
voice and a figure Just suited to the part. The
of the company, which is very large
one, were very handsome. and the stage set
ing was brilliant On the whole it was an |
admirable operate performance. The COM

Hents, se1f-Rasttng Bro11er.

The advantages of Henis self-basting
broiler have brought it into extensive use
and given it deserved popularity. 1t saves
| all the gravy, bastes while broiling makes no
smoke, and keeps the fire bright. Its advan-
tages over all other broilers are thus detailed
as follows:
cit will broil fish, oysters. CLAIMS, tomatoes,
and many other things that cannot be broiled
as well in any other way It saves all the
juices and applies them at each turning to
basting the meat, making it tender and palat-
able instead of being dry and requiring butter
to moisten it. 1t cannot be excelled for
toasting bread; the perforation showing
upon each side, making it ornamental, taste
full and inviting"
In lecture on Accomplished Cookery, be-
fore large and appreciative audience, at the
Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Miss Dodds,
an expert on the subject, said: 81 have a
new broiler here, handed me by gentleman
for trial It looks as though it might be a
good thing; will try it [broils steak. 1
thought it a good thing but it far exceeds
my expectations 1t swells the meat, retains
all the natural juices instead of wasting them
in the fire, and makes no smoke" Mr.. A. S.
Lyon, at No. 81 Asylum street, is the general
agent for New Haven.

A Joyous Time for Over One Hundred
Children.


A. very pleasant affair occurred at the
Church of the Redeemer last evening On
the evening previous the Sunday school of
the church had fine time at the church
with their teachers and superintendent,
were served with supper and helped deco
rate Christmas tree for last nights occa-
sion. Last evening about one hundred chill
dren outside of the school were made happy
with Christmas gifts. The teachers had re-
solved themselves into committee of the
whole to find waits who had not been favored
by Santa Claus and to whom Santa Claus is
altogether more of myth than reality.
They without much trouble captured over a
hundred children of just that kind, and last
evening in the warm comfortable quarters of
the church they provided them with re-
minder of Christmas and very useful ones
also, each boy receiving two pairs of stock
ings, two pairs of mittens and a cap, and
each girl two pairs of stockings two of
mittens and a hood Besides, each was given
bag of candies, goodies, etc. The Christ
mas tree stood forth beautiful with gifts and
decorations, a fairy like spectacle and Santa
Claus (Mr. EIlery Camp was there himself
and made the happiness of the scene COM
plete. The very novel and interesting affair,
thanks to Superintendent Prudden and his
corps of teachers, well promoted the idea

inventing Cabinet rumors? The intima-

pears to offer a favorable point of depart
ure in this respect. There have now been
telegraphed several reams of speculations,
all of which have been contradicted within
a few hours of their transmission, and at
the end of this diversion there does not re-
main single item of what has thus cum
bered the columns of the press during the
past month. 1t is evident that the Presi-
dent-elect does not intend to say any thing
on the subject until he is ready, and there
fore the zeal and industry of the CORE
spondents had better be expended upon
something more hopeful and profitable.

DRIFTING,

The English Government and the Irish
Land League are both drifting, and it is
not difficult to perceive the point at which
they must arrive eventually if the present
dispositions are maintained. TIE Govern
ment is reluctant to adopt strong measures,
but it is filling ireland with troops. The
Land League processes determination to
avoid instruction, but it is drilling the
Irish people for stubborn resistance to
the spirit if not the letter of the law. The
practical result of the Land League tactics
must be to deprive all landed property in
the island of present value. If the Gov.
eminent permits that to be done it will
become evident to all the world that it has
ceased to govern ireland. and that the
Land League has superseded It, It cannot
therefore tolerate this programme, and as
the Land League either will not or cannot
90 back, it is very clear that the resort to
coerciye measures will be unavoidable in
the end, no matter how reluctantly they
may be employed. That this is the right
way to secure land reform no sane observer
can believe, but the real difficulty is that
with very large proportion of the sup
norters of the Land League such reform is
a secondary consideration. and repeal of
the union is the primary incentive to
action. OF course this makes the situation
all the more hopeless.

THE LIvADIA.

1t is stated that the Cars new yacht,
the Livadia, promises TO effect an astonish-
ing revolution in naval architecture,
though it may be as well to suggest the
advisability Of taking all such statements
with considerable mental reservation.
This vessel is built upon entirely new prin.
ciples. Instead of being long. narrow, and
deep, she is short, broad, and shallow.
Her beam is about two-thirds of her length
over al, her bottom is fat, and she draws
only seven feet of water. It was
predicted by the Clyde builders who con-
structed her that she would make no
better time than washing tub, and
that in a gale of wind and heavy seaway
she would be unmanageable and unsafe. But
it is alleged that in going down the Clyde
she made eighteen knots an hour, and that
having encountered severe gale in the
Bay of Biscay she behaved more steadily
than the most approved modern steamer
or man-of-war on the old model In fact

MADAME RACHEL. THE "ENAMELER.'

A report comes by cable of the death in
prison at London of the celebrated Nine.
Rachel, the o-called female beautifier, or
enameler. Nine. Rachel, whose real name
was Levi, or Levison, used to carry on
business as perfumer in the neighborhood
of Burlington Gardens. She advertised a
peculiar treatment warranted to make the
patient beautiful forever, and large num-
Der of ladies whose personal attractions
were fading availed themselves of her skill,
Her process was to give one or two washes
to her patient, which brought out frightful
eruptions on the skin, then to decline to
proceed further until bargain was
made and the money paid, terri
flying her patient at the same time
by assuring her that if the process
ceased at the particular stage to which it
had been carried she would not be beauti.
full but hideous for the remainder of her
existence Against one of them, the wife
of an Admiral in the navy, Rachel brought
an action for breach of contract, claiming
FL, 900 as the price of restoration" The
jury, however, gave verdict against her,
and her ll-success in this lawsuit proba-
bly, was the cause of the famous trial at the
Old Bailey in 1868, when Nine. Rachael ap-
peared in the dock at the suit of Mrs Bor.
rodaile, one of her dupes, on charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses.
Mrs. Borrodaile was evidently woman
of weak intellect and undoubtedly of adj
vanced years, but on the strength of
promise from Nine Rachel that the come
Illness of youth should be restored to her
and that she should marry Lord Rane-
lagh, she parted with over $4,000 to the
imposter. a servant represented Lord
Ranelagh at several interviews and the
lady was delighted. but her supplies of
money gave out and Nine. Rachel had the
hardihood to have her arrested for breach
OF contract. This led to revelation of all
the proceedings, and after a short trial
Mime. Rachel was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment. She could not have been
liberated more than few months when
abe had won back many of her old custom
ers, and for some years continued driving
profitable trade. On February %, 1878,
she was again committed for trial
on the charge of obtaining goo
by false pretenses from Mrs. G.
Pearse, who had been induced to leave
all her jewels in the impostor's hands in
consideration of being rendered forever
beautiful. Mrs. Pearse was married
woman, about "a years old, and daughter
of the celebrated tenor, Mario, and the
wife of a stock broker. She was put
Through courae of washes, lotions and
baths, represented by Rachel to be enor-
mously expensive, Immediately after which
the usual rash broke out on her face and
completely disfgured her. In this condi-
ton Rachel demanded more money, and
threatened her if it were not forthcoming
that she would discontinue the treatment.
and thus the patient would be hideous for
life. Terrified by these threats, Mrs. Pearse
confessed all to her husband. Rachel was
brought to trial, found guilty, and con.
demned to penal servitude for FIVE years,
which she had not yet served out when she
was overtaken by death.
