Berlioz was present, says q London paper,

Odeon, and at once conceived for Henriette
Smithson what he calls "a mortal love-" His
own words best describe the impression
made: 'The effect of her prodigious talent,

of whom she was the worthy interpreter.

But the favor Of the Paris public is far

The TtanTsIan Difficulty.

France does not propose to follow the saw

solution Of the trouble is different, but it may
prove much more effective than mere war
against the savages. Regarding the Boy Of
Tunis as primarily responsible for the raids
Of the Kroumirs, the French troops will en-.

Goletta and other points therein. The Bey
will then be invited" to sign q convention

the Bey will not be disturbed as a local
sovereign with the right to regulate the in
ternal affairs Of his State, the new arrange

his international character. France intends
to teach the savage tribes her power, and she
also proposes to show that she will not toler-

"We generally do these sums in apples and

timidly.
'Quite right, quite right said the gentle

How Whistler Painted q Ceiling.

Probably you have heard Of Whistler's ex-
travaganza in houses He was engaged to
decorate a noble mansion in Belgravia; the
price was no object to the oWner-and for
that matter neither was it to Whistler. One
day a friend asked me to go over and see one
of the rooms that was nearly completed, and
| fastened to accept the invitation. This is
what we saw on entering: a very slim.
square figure extended on a mattress ia the
middle Or the floor; beside him an enormous
palette, paints, q half dozen long bamboo
hsh-poles resting on a line with their butts
close at hand, and q very large pair of bino-
cular glasses. Whistler, dressed wholly in
black velvet, with knickerbocker pantaloons
stopping just below the knee, black silk
stockings and low polished shoes, with silk
ties more than six inches. wide and diamond
buckles, was flat on his back, fshing-rod
in hand and an enormous eyeglass in one eye,
diligently putting some finishing touches on
the ceiling, bis brush being on the other end
OF tie hsh-pole. Occasionally he would pick
up his double glasses like some astronomer
peering at the moon, and having gained 4
nearer and better view Of the effect. he would
again begin to agitate the paint brush at the
other end Of the long pole.

only extenuating circumstance I have
to offer upon this point, il that the
Herald man Is a stranger to me-his
