PARIS, May 3O.-Several hundred Com
munists made a demonstration yesterday in
the cemetery Pere La Chaise. Lewis Michael
was among the speakers. The tomb of
Blanque was visited and adorned with flowers.
MILE NoRDIcA.
A promising young American singer, Mile.
Nordica Miss Nordhof), is shortly to make
her debut at the opera. NJ. Vuncorbell is de-
lighted with his new star, who will probably
be first introduced in the role of "Ophelia."
SALLY AND HER HUSBAND.
NJ. and Nine. Damalas made their first
bow together in Paris inLd Dame attr Camel
las on Thursday at the Gaiety. 1t is needless
to say that the house was crowded from floor
to ceiling. Rave as they will of their in
difference to their old idol, the Parisians are
still powerless to resist Dona Sol's subtle
fascination. Everyone, of course, was at the
Gate, and Nine. Cheret, for whose benefit the
performance was organized, made 60,000f.
Both Sarah and her husband, who played
under the stage name OF Jacques Darall,
we're naturally very nervous. Sarah looked
positively haggard in the opening acts and
at first met reception the reverse Of cordial.
As the play went on, however, she became
more like herself. After the second act she
put such true feeling into the part that she
fairly brought down the house. In writing
her farewell letter to Armand" she shed
real, scalding tears, and in the death scene
che outdid herself by the fervor and pathos
of her acting. NJ. Damalas won all the
female hearts directly he appeared. He is
decidedly handsome fellow, with great deal
OF undeveloped talent in him. There were
signs of inexperience in his acting in the
earlier scenes, but in the fourth act the ap-
plause which greeted the happy point he
had introduced at the suggestion Of Victorien
Sardou put fire into him and he played with
such spirit that he was recalled four times.
IT WON'T DO TO NEGLECT THE WOMEN.
Gambetta's party managers, the men who
arrange the political meetings at which he
speaks, are blamed for a lack of shrewdness
in that they neglect the women of Paris.
Operatives were never invited to bring their
wives to the Belleville meetings, and this,
perhaps, is one of the reasons why the great
orators influence has declined there. "The
OF the honest our'iere is in
tense" remarks the correspondent, "and she
is not taken in by fine phrases; but she can
be Modified by the polite attentions of a
deputy and his agents to men ana women of
her class. A short time ago | heard an his
torical discussion between a lecturer at the
College of France and M. Alfred Assolant
on the source of Louis Quatorze's great and
casting popularity. One of the distinguished
men in question maintained that Louis was
a great statesman. The other denied that
he was anything of the sort. The secret of
mis- strength was in the exquisite Spanish
politeness that his mother taught him, and
MS habitual care never to wound the dignity
