Paine and the French Revolution, ,
which contains some interesting docu-
ments, not heretofore published, found
in the National Archives of the French
Republic by Mr.. Washburn in 1876,
when he was In Paris in his official
capacity. 1t appears that Paine, with
great troubble, left England to take
his seat in the National Convention
in 1872, to which he had been elected
by three departments. In . little
more than a year, this same conven-
ton condemned him TO the Palace Of
Luxembourg then used as q prison,
where he languished for ten months,
until released partly through the in
PREVENTION of James Monroe, at that
time the American Minister to the
French Court. The cOrresalence In ne

For many years it has been muchly-
debated question as to whether Cincinnati
could sustain colored paper and if the nu-
merous failures can be worth anything to
count on; we should judge-no. The Col
ored American 1844-46), the Herald of
Freedom Qs55), Colored Citizen (1S66-67),
and the Declaration and Review have had
their days-few in number, and an un-
timely end. Since colored paper can not
live here, why should we not joir hands
with the Bagby Bros, of Indianapolis, who
have, after untiring exertions, met with we'll
earned success in establishing live colored
newspaper, and who are now willing to de-
vote fair space to Cincinnati and its citi-
zens. The Bagby Bros. have made full ar
rangements for having all the news of the

by Petroleum V. Nasty Cd. r. Locke. J

piece has obtained should Cos iail TO draw
q full house. The New York Telegram
says:
1t has not been the good fortune Of the
theatre going public of this city for many
O day to have an opportunity to witness so
funny play as the Widow Bedott," the
production Of Petroleum V. Nasty. 1t
was produced last night at Haverly's
Fourteenth Street Theatre. with Mr. Neil
Burgess 10 the title role. From the rise
TO the fall of the curtain the vast audience
WAS kept in roars of laughter by the clever
acting of Mr. Burgess and the quaint
humor of the author. Why there is
enough wit in the play to make half
dozen comedians successful. The Widow
Bedott" is in four acts and engages nine
artists 10 its relation. Some of these are
clever; others are somewhat alqStural 10
the parts assigned them. But the biera.
ishes are SO few and slight and the excel
lences of the piece so numerous, that no
body has time to notice the former, 1t
would be impossible TO find fault with a
drama which is bound to be one of the
most popular ever produced in this city.
The acting of MIR. Burgess is calculated to
cure a chronic melancholia. and the dia-
logue of the piece itself teens with the
most extraordinary thought, keen satire
and innocent suggestion. If the reception
accorded toy idow Bedott' last night by
the laughing, Joyous and hilarious crowd
in the theatre be staken as an
indication of the drama's future here. We
feel no hesitation In saying that it will be
q most brilliant one.
