In the old Earns opera House, as il existed
in the memorable year. 1883, there We're five
different kinds of boxes, the nature of which
was indicated by quite singular nomencla-
ture. Kettledrums,' postchases," and
"spittoons, explained in the first aud last
case the situation Qf tho occupants, and in
the intervening the amount OF the accOmmO-
dation Besides these, there We're the bal
cony and the grand tier. Prices We're not
then what they are now, and yet the opera
was luxury which but few could afford.
The books for the season of 1889 have lust
been discovered and their contents puhlinhed.
The Due de Choiseul had u Eettledrum
which cost him nearly $3.50 a year. The
Due dOrleans paid double, but then his
box was on the grand tier. The Princess
de Lambelle had only postchass, which
she had to share with Madame de Genlis,
Qhey must have heen an ill-assorted coupie,)
and yet it cost her $500 year. The Queen
paid Sl,aou, and the two Ambassadors of
Spain and Naples arranged between them

The WilloN. I'd 81. Helena.

The willow which overshadows the first
Bonaparte's grave is the second planted
since the intement of the Emperor, and Is
twenty-six years old. Willows at 81. Helena,
1t would appear, rarely attain IA greater
longevity than thirty years, and shoots are
carefully preserved for planting. The OK
Empress Eugenie brought away some young
shoots and n few violet and geranum plants
from the tomb, some for presentation to her
Majesty the Queen, and some for herself and
her friends. This floral cuIius has been
going on for nearly sixty years. Writing Ia
Lord Bathurst, immediately after tue inter
ment OF Napoleon, Sir HUdsop Lowe said:
A." shall cause railing TO be put around the
whole OF the ground, II being necessary even
for the preservation Of ,ha willows, many
sprigs Of which have already begun to be
taken by different individuals who went
down to visit the place after the funeral. I"
This is the incident which, as Mr.. Forsyth
has well pointed out, was afterwagd so ludi-
crously yet so Inadvertently distorted by An
tommarchi, who described Sir Hudson Lowe

II would appear that the vehement Oppo.
sition offered by the Bonaparte family 10 the
engagement contracted some months ago by
Prince Roland Bonaparte and Mile. Blanc,
principal heiress TO the enormous fortune
amassed by the late high priest of rouge-et-
noir, has proved iruitless, and that the wed
ding day of the happy pair Is fixed for the
LIST OF October next. The mother of the fl,
ture Princess has caused a splendid villa to
be erected for the Young couple in the Gas
cine of Florence, WHITTIER they viii repair at
pc conclusion Of their honeymoon. Prince
Roland holds a commission in the Republi-
can army as sub-lieutenant of artillery, and,
being totally destitute OF private means, has
hitherto contrived to live upon his pay, an
achievement which speaks highly in his
favor By his marriage with Mile. Blanc he
will become the wealthiest scion OF the
House of bonapare, an eventuality contem-
plated with extreme disfavor by some among
his illustlious kinsfolk who have hitherto
persistently ignored the very existence of his
mother, sister, and himself. Prince Roland,
however, whose conduct in adversely has
been, according TO all accounts, highly
praiseworthy, may DO deseryedly congratu-
lated upon having gained so magnificent
prize in the matrimonial lottery London

The oldest tree in the world is in the
sacred City Auarajapoora. It was planted
2sS Is. C., and therefore il is now ?, l6s years
old. The Buddhists believed it to be in
vested with wonderful sanctity, 1t is said
that kings have dedicated their dominions
in testimony of their belief thatit is branch
OF the same Og tree under which Gotama
Buddha reclined when his apotheosis took
place. Its leaves are carried away as trea-
sures by pilgrims, but it is held too sacred
to be touched with knife, and they are
only gathered when they fall TO the ground.

IN East Liberty church on Sunday
evening. A rising young artist who
has q comfortable studio-if studios are
ever comf0rtable-on a street running
from Water TO Liberty-who is one Of
the workers in said chmch, walked
bravely to the pulpit before service and
gave one of the ministers n notice to
read before benediction. The services
were about being closed. when the
young artist again went forward and
reminded the minister that he must not
forget the notice of the temperance
meeting down town. The minister
begged pardon for his remissness, took
the slip Of paper from his vest pocket,
read it, looked dazed, rubbed his eyes.
then smiled. He passed the note to a
brother minister. He smiled. Then
passed it to the other minister, and he
smiled. Then all smiled. Then No. /
remarked that he would like to speak to
the young artist The latter advanced
to the pulpit, received the notice,
looked at it. c0lored very red. and
looked as though he would Ike to jump
through the window. He had given
the pastor a notice of . temperance
meeting which read something like
this:
DEAR JOHN-I am so sorry l can't
let you come to see me a frequently as
usual. but papa and mamma think I
should not receive even my very dear
friends during the Lenten season. It's
