Paris Letter.

Paris, February %, 1882.
Mdlle. Marie Van Zandt made her re-
appearance at the Opera Comiquo last
night on her return from Monte Carlo,
choosing for the occasion Mignon, the
character in which she first made her
mark on the Partisan stage. Those who
have followed her quick career need scarce
ly be reminded that the young lady played
the same part for, if remember rightly,
more than eighty nights, the longest run
which Mr.. Ambrose Thomas's opera ever
had. 1t began to be imagined that Mdlle.
Van Zandt could play nothing else. when
her performance of Dinorah threw her
success as Mignon completely into the
shade. But Mignon" is favorite opera
here and last night there was absolutely
not vacant seat in the house, even the
managerial box being let. When the
American prima donna leaped from the
cart in which the heroine is dragged upon
the stage, she received from the crowded
audience such reception as is seldom ac-
corded to the greatest favorites OF the
Opera Comique habitues. The popular
romance, A." ConnGis til tc pays," the
"styrienne," the "swallow" duet-each
opportunity was eagerly seized by the en-
thusiastic admirers of the gifted singer
for expressing their delight, while the
critical connoisseur was still more pleased
10 note that Mdlle. Van Zandt's voice has
of late greatly gained in power, thus Civ
ing hope that the last quality needed for a
great singer will soon be within her grasp.
To find any parallel to the fascination
over her audience welded by Mdlle. Van
Zsndt one must 60 back to the startling
early successes of Adelina Patti.
NJ. Gambetta has received sympathetic

The twenty-fifth anniversary dinner Of
the Savage Club. which took place at
Willis's rooms, will be memorable owing
to the presence Of the Prince Of Wales,
whose genial disposition is never shown
to greater advantage than when at a social
gathering. With the utmost affability the
prince is able To meet all classes of society
and to put them at their ease without any
sacrifice of bis own dignity. After the
dinner the prince visited the Savages in
their club chambers in the Savoy, and de-
clared when the party broke up at mid.
night that he had never spent pleasanter
evening, while as regards the Savages it

The present congress gets along rather

House is rather bad in mood. and when
business is done there is generally much
camor and disturbance about it.

presiding officer. and this week he has

three hours, after which discussion the
speaker pulled out his manuscript opinion
that he had written beforehand, and pro-
ceeded to deliver what is said to have been
rather bungling dissertation on parlia-
mentary law as to the point in question.

minority proposed compromise which
gave the democrats who were generally in
favor or amending the bill chance to
discuss the bill and have vote on amend
ments.
The legislative day of Monday was con-
tinued on Tuesday though night session
and wrangle was avoided. A few demo-
Gratis were in favor of the bill as it stood
but the most of them voted for various
amendments which were proposed weak
ening its force. The amendments were
all defeated however and the bill passed
finally Just as it came from tho Senate by
100 to 40.
