The opening of girls college at
Rouen is an experiment of no or
binary kind. 1t has the merit of
being worked in that part of France,
Normandy, reputed to have popu-
Iation the shrewdest in the Nni-
verse. The inhabitants occasion
ally walk round each other, and
that's equivalent to an eighth Won
der of the world. Odd, too that
the trial should come off in the
regime reputed also the richest in
France, and where the population
wilfully refuses to increase and
multiply. To allow her daughter

Paris is filling in rapidly, and the
season, which is on the point of
opening, promises to be brilliant.
The number of rich strangers that
have taken residences for the win
ter, is markedly large. The theatres
have opened with many excellent
revivals, and few trashy original
plays that desire not the honor of
being named. We are waiting for
the real opening of She theatrical
ball, Sardu's new drama. Its rep
resentation is near at hand, as the
putfs preliminary are numerous. No
French author can anticipate him
