FRENCH OPERA" LA FILE DE MNIE.

At Abbey's Park Theatre last night tho Grau
French Opera Company gave LA File
de Mime. Angot" with substantially the
same persons as in former seasons. The
bright little work was acted to perfection.
Unfortunately however, the orchestra played, as it
has all the week. in a sovenly manner and with lis
tie regard to either tune tune that the musical
portion Of the performance not on plane with
the acting. NJ. Lecocq's writing can i'll afford such
treatment, for, though his is the school which
is commonly denied dignity and artistic value there
is nevertheless 80 much musical good in what ne
does that it is a pity to sec it belittled. Miles.

some appreciation of this fact last night and they
displayed 0 willingness and ability TO make the

than an incumbrance.
New-York tribune., 1881-12-02

Tor the discovery OIL "a ffSt-cIaS5 issue.
If Guiteau is hanged it will be a long time before
another creature eaten up by vanity feels inspired
by the Deity to commit murder.
We have no0 been able to discover in any Demo-
cratic newspaper disquistIon on the prospect for
electing Democratic President in 1884 without
the votes of New-York and Virginia. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly interesting subject, and one in which
every Democrat takes an absorbing interest. This
is dull season, and the Democratic editor would be
able to apply his full mind to the subject without
suffering side issues to distract his attention. Still,
he does not do it. Perhaps a sudden attack of diff
dence keeps him away from 1T.
If it is the desire of the Stalwart press to prove
that Garfield would not have been shot If he had
refrained from dispeasing Mr.. Conkling. they can
find strong point in the fact that Guiteau dates
the beginning of his inspiration" " from the day of
Mr.. Conklings resignation In his autobiography
which Ihe Herald published he laid special stress
upon this point. In fact, the exact date OF the
resignation was the only date given In tho whole
sketch, circumstance which showed what an effect
that resignation had made upon his mind.
The name of no anti-thrd-termer ls yet mentioned
for a Cabinet position. If the President were to
announce one or two as his selection what sur
prise he would give them aud the country!
Guiteau does not seem to be enjoying his trial SO
much as he was,
The Democrats do not take kindly to the sugges-
tion that they get up Free Trade Convention.
They are willing to make fun Of the recent Tariff
Conventions and to say they did not represent pub
lie sentiment, but they shrink from attempting to
demonstrate that a Free Trade Convention would
represent public sentiment. As usual, all they are
willing able do is TO SIT still ana snarl at the
other fellow.
There is general suspicion that the policy of the
Government coun- el in the Guteau case is TO allow
him TO have full swing and dem nstrae his perfect
sanity to the jury At any raie, the effect of
his conduct IN court upon the public has been pre-
csey this. Many people who were ready to believe
him insane before the trial began are now con-
vnccd of his sanity, and are eager for his cOnvic-
tOu and execution. The q roit crosse XaminauOn
by cX-Judg Porter has strengthened this popular
conviction He has sklfully led the prisoner into
proving his responsibility iOr his cTime-has used
him a most cOuvln ing witness against himself.
Genera, Babcocks friends are said to be urging
President Arthur to give him an office. They have
kindly picked ont the one he would like to have
General Babcock is we believe, third-termer. He
has other recommendations for office but 10 is
kindness to hIm not TO mention them.
II begins to look as if the jury in Guiteau's case
might get an inspiration" TO hang him.

The failure of National Marriage Associa-
zion in Indiana is announced. Like a number
of similar concerns recently established IN the
West, ii promised to pay round sum to its
members in case they married The collapse
of all such companies is a fOregOne concu
sion. Confirmed celibates naturally keep out of
them, and no one joins but people on the I'M
minent verge of matrimOny. Thus, as all the
members speedily become benefciaries, there
t soon no one left to pay the premium.

There never was a more good-natured man than
Professor Goodwin Smith. He was proposed as an
honorary member Of st. Georges Socicty of
Toronto, and one might have thought, considering
his reputation and abilities that he would have
been gladly and unanimously admitted. Instead OF
this he was blackbaled. Tho brethren of ST.
George are nothing if not loyal to the integrity Of
the British EMPIRE and Professor Smiths views of
the policy of the annexation Of the Dominion to
the United States well known. The dragon, if
not st. George stood at the door and would not let
the Professor in We are pleased to notice that he
met this rebuff with special equanimty, and indeed
with something more. lie showed himself both
kind and fornying, for this rejected candidate at
once enclosed his check for Sl0O-a contribution TO
the charitable fund Of the society. Gentlemen
blackballcd ut clubs seldom meet the snub in this
way and perhaps Professor Smith has made
out of the transaction than the St. Georges Society
has

We do not consider the threatening letters which
are sent to Guteau, Judge Cox, Mr.. Scovie and the
Jury to be of much Importance. Usually, any
anonymous letter will justify a contemptuous re-
ception. Dangerous men do not write to announce
their intentions; and "The Garfield Avengers" are
numerically and potentially like tie three tailors

One after another the overdue European
steamers are dropping into port, bringing tales
of one of the most frghtful November gales
that ever swept the Atlantic. A long list of
those still out beyond their time is given in
another column, but there need be no serious
apprehensions felt by the friends of their pas
sengers. A staunch iron steamer rarely succumbs
10 wind and wave alone. Fire, fog and ice
bergs are the terror of the sailor. With
stout ship and an open sea he laughs at the
fiercest storms.

general by asking the other Governments
forming the Empire to send delegates to it.
