new drama, entitled Les Jumeaux, OF which
Louis XIV and the Man with the Iron Mask
are the heroes.
Leo Delibe's new opera Jean de Nivelle has
been successful In Paris. It Ia likely to be
given at Covent Garden during the coming
season.
It ia said that Mr.. Barley Campbell will
visit Lon,ion In May, and that The Galley
Slave and Fairfax will be produced ut the
Princess Theatre.
John r. Raymond Ia to follow Sarah Bern
hardt at the London Gaiety Theatre. r. has
been well said that there Is but one step from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
It is stated In the London Figaro that Mr.
John Mccullough has made arrangements
with Mr. j. III. Mapleson to appear at Her
Majesty's theatre during the autumn.
:. otto has made decided success In the
English provinces. Mr.. and Mrs. Knight are
both highly praised, and Harry Sargent will
have no cause to regret taking the two across
the water.
Contrary to repeated announcement, Miss
Marie Williams will not appear In this coun-
try next season. Burlesque having gone out
OF vogue In London, she thinks OF appearing
In that city next season In comic opera.
The repulsed and therefore desperate lover
OF Mile; Paula, performer in minor thea
tire OF Paris, swallowed poison while looking
at her from box and died on the spot. The
actress was known to have treated him badly,
ana Wnen sne next appeared on the stage she
was greeted with groans and Kisses, and q
wreath OF immortelles was thrown to her. as
tribute to the dead lover. She fed from the
indignant audience.
Mr.. They're Smiths new comedietta, pro-
duced recently In London with the title OF
"Old OroDies," Ia perhaps a unique example
OF an English dramatic work In which all the
personages are OF the male sex. It is In form
o mere colloouy between two men, each OF
whom Is somewhat on the wrong side OF u, i'd
dle~age, not even the casual appearance OF a
maid servant being permitted to impart an
approach to what Is technically known az
female interest" The joint concoction Of a
love letter by two old bachelors is the motive
OF the work, and 1t Is said to be admirably
worked out

his own mules, and the doctors say that
the portion of the tail thus isolated was
soon swelled up bigger than the mule.
The Texas man says the mule turned his
head and saw his monstrons tail and got
alarmed and began to kick The first
kick drove the mules tail away out be-
hind but the tail Immediately swung
back-the tail was SO heavy, That made
the mule madder'n ever and it kicked
like fury. That only gave the tail
more MON ntum, and on its return
it knocked the mule about rod.
The mule looked around and didn't
see any body aud kicked again. The tail
was there as calm and regular as pendulum
and it came back like a steamboat RUM
ing a race That time it lifted the mule
over the barn yard fence. But the mule
| lit on its feet and struck out again-game az
ever. The tail fairly laughed as it caught
the mule on its launches and drove it down
the lane mile and half at every whack.
| 1t looked like destruction to the mule as
mule ndstail disappeared in the distance
| But, after three or four hours. returning
cloud of dust was seen and socn the mule
emerged therefrom kicking as briskly as
ever-but the tail was totally used up ano
gone Not being able to ctfer any
more resistance, of course the muis
