march from check to check.
Paris appears to be coming simply
a pied de teTTe for those classes who,
like the lilies of the field, toll not nor
spin. They quit the capital at the
first cold breeze for Nice or Pau;
then on the first CLEAN of true sun
shine they depart for the country.
The city is thus only a semi-station,
an e1ltremetS. DR.. Ricord though |
aged SO, has just given his annual |
musical and dancing sOGree. He had |
a joke as usual for every guest. The
novelty of the evening was the |
dancing of the lancers in costume
of Louis XIV. It was charming
spectacle.
Much sympathy is felt for Gus
taVe Aymard, called the French |
Fenimore Cooper. He is now an
inmate of an asylum, and though |
incapable of moving from paralysis, |
his constant supplication is to |
promenade in the country and to be |
married. By curious coincidence
they are his novels that the inmates
prefer to peruse, and that the doc
tors prescribe.
Leo DeIibes has scored a success
in his three act comic opera Lac
krue," librett0 by Messrs. Gondinet
and Gille. The plot is kind of Selika
in the "Africaine," in the sense
that Lakrue al-o commits suicide.
1t is thus MKT re of melodrama
and comedy. Gerald. a British
officer, trying to obtain a pattern of
some sacred jewels, is surprised by
Niiakantha, LAkrue's father Lakruel
aid Gerald not to copy, but to keep
the jewels. Disguised as a
beggar, Nilakantha and his daugh-
ter travel as wandering MINISTRIES,
to discover the iconoclast. Gerald
is Waylaid and wounded, but La
crue saves him; it is however at the
cost of her own life, as she poisops
herself by eating the toxical leaves
of a shrub. Her father delighted at
her death, and Gerald is delivered
from an Inconvenience. THERE'S
good deal of gracefulness, color,
charm and warmth in the music;
it unites the extremes Of tender
ness and passion; the melodies are
full of delicacy and taste. at least
a score Of beautiful n1OTceG1LsC nigh

plauded. The ballet was as it were
| framed with the popular fife and
drum music of the English army.
