last night from an overturned French diti-
ge1ice. Some were on the roof; others
were in the coucOu, and they came down
with a bang that electrified the audience.
The scene into the midst OF which they
fell was supposed to be hamlet in Eng
land. Mr.. Dwindledown,' an elderly
gentleman, was marrying the village
beauty, and peasants and rustic maidens
in Vatican costumes were chanting their
epithalamium. While the chimes were
still ringing rejected lover of the bride
appeared. With him came his father, an
Irish fire-eater, and his cousins, the
younger Hanlons. Learning that the mar
riage was already consummated, they de-
termined to avenge themselves by spelling
the bridegroom's honeymoon, and hiring
his servants, the two elder Hanlons, to
worry him cut OF his wits. Therein lies
such plot as the piece contains. The rest
is pantomime. 1t is pantomime of a kind
almost new to the boards. 1t depends for
its effect not only on the agility of the
players and the perfection of their
mechanism, but also on the facility
with which they carry the whole thing
forward. In one act they confound the
villagers by climbing balconies, leaping
through windows, and scaling housetops;
in another they occupy four compartments
OF a railway train, fall through the floor
ing, are whirled away into space, and are
finally blown mp in a terrific explosion;
in the third they dine ut a Swiss hotel,
disguise themselves as Spanish matadors,
German students, French generals, and
Russian admirals, and in these travesties
perform indescribable antics. The clever
mimicking of the two servants belongs to
school popular still in France and Italy
The spectators are whirled merrify to the
end of the piece, and last night their en-
thusiasm knew no bounds. Without
making invidious distinctions, they re-
called all the players in hurricane of ap-
plause. 1t is translated from the French
version of NM. Ernest Blum and Raoul
Toche, which was one of the successes OF
the Paris season"

TuE London correspondent OF the Boston
transcript; dcyo,es long aud very interest
ing letter to the growth Of the circulation Of
the CrHhpV 81. Nicholas and Hdyptr's mag
azincS in England. From this we learn THAI
the former. which was the first introduced
in the "old country in 1873, reaching only
a circulation OF 1000 per month for some
wears now has over $1,000 constant read
ers notwithStandingits price was increased
and its name changed, which is always a
dangerous experiment. The 81. Nicholas
also circulates over 5000 copies per month,
and Hurpo's, introduced in 1850, fully
$1,000. OF Christmas numbers OF both
the C0hrV and Hdypcr's as many as $4,000
copies have been sold. The correspondent
states that the story OF how the Century and
Hdrpcrs have acquired so large and iutiu-
ential a circulation in Great Britain is an
interesting Que. in which Americans may
he pardoned perhaps, for taking some
pride. For the magazines nave won their
way to public favor by sheer merit, and
are looked upon Ia England as marvellous
examples Of the perfection 10 which the
art OF wool engraving has been brought
in this country, an art that has not seemed
to thrive in England The newspapers and
weekly periodicals very promptly reoog-
nized the superiority of these magazines
and generously called attention to the il
Illustrated descriptive articles with their
examples Of what seemed to be a new
school of wool eugraViny and this VISA a
great help 60 the new magazines. In the
stories, poems, editorials, essays and re-
views, too, the English reader found n
strong American flavor, which, far from
being dstasteful, was fresh and agreeable
on account OF its novelty.
