scandal be could about the clergy and
publish it for the groundlings. he
did not give much attention ss TO the
accuracy of what he published, and
COMPOUNDED a little human nature

1t is to be hoped the new law re.

system OF long preventive arrests. A

His son on arriving in Paris, made
the acquaintance of Mile. Firmand;

tions, but On condition, that he would
marry her; her fortune was was four

break this union that his father has

The Palais Royal has brought out
a three act come dy "Le Mari b.
BETTE" by Messrs. MeilLsc and Gille.
The Viscount Pctit-Preux, a man
upon town, has encountered the
young and charming BAbette. She
believes she can reform him, and
wed him as her reward. One day
his uncle arrives; he will leave the
property to his nephew, il the latter
will give up: Babette and wed his
cousin. Nay more, he proposes that
the viscount should come and reside
for six months near his cousin, awav
from Babette, and il in that time he
did not fall in love with her, he was
free to marry Babette. At this
iuncture a commercial traveller
arrives, one Gavandau. He solicits
subscriptions for an agricultural
journal and takes orders for tomb
stones and clsret. It is arranged
that he shall set up as Baron in the
neigh borhood where the neice
resides, that Babette shall pass as the
Baroness, and the Viscount shall be
their constant visitor, while Gsndiss-
art, engaged to Gersndau, will do
duty as lady's maid. The Baroness
becomes the pet OF the country round;
even the uncle himself is smitten by
her charms. Ultimately he discov-
ers the amiable deception, accepts
Babette as niece, Gerandau weds the
maid, and ia laden with orders for
wine and tombstones. The piece ia
as humorous as it is successful.
The Opera nnique has been
equally happy with LA Taverue
les Trahaus," The libretto is by Erck-
mann-Chatrian, which these gentle
men took from their most humorous
novel, ."L'puberge du Jambon de
Mayence," where the landlord and
monk are cup companions, and
discuss theology till early hours. On
one occasion they had serious fight.

more his hermitage. till be was

The music is by Helen Mareschsl, and
has all the advantage over the lib.
rette. The score consists OF twenty
morceaur. full of melody and well
orchestred. In the first act, there is
a pretty drinking chorus. and an
effective trio. The second act is
