LONDON, Sept. 22.-Miss Mary Anderson has
now become one Of London's celebrities She
has been playing here month, and her increas-
ing popularity is the subject of general remark.
Her beautiful villa at Maidavale was visited to-
day by your correspondent. and its fair occu-
pant spared no pains in giving such Information
as was desired. She said that the results Of the
month were splendid in every respect. Bust
ness had doubled since her opening night, and
her audiences showed an interest and sympathy
which was far beyond her expectations. They
were becoming familiar with her and she with
them, and there now seemed to be mutual
understanding, which must improve with every
representation and add to the excellence
of each performance. She was really getting
very fond of her English audiences, they
were so cordial AS matter of fact she
was liked better mere as an artist titan in New
York, the Americans usually regarding her as
y0ungster. without much schooling in her pro-
fessiOn. This feeling does not prevail here and
Miss Anderson says that her reception has been
accorded on her abstract merits as an artist. her
youth and possible ineXperience welding little
or no influence. Besides, she has been greatly
assisted by the perfection of detail which exists
at the Lyceum. Everything there works
smoothly; the company are all clever, and each
member Is most attentive, even those playing
the smallest parts showing an excellence to
which she was before unsccustOmed. This,
however, Is characteristic of Mr.. Irvings thea
ter. where everything is managed in the most
perfect manner: Immediately after her first ap-
pearance large number of American and Eng
lish artists sent her congratulations by telegraph
and many of those who were near enough sent
presents of flowers.
Miss Minnie Palmer continues to crowd the
Grand Theater nightly. The management have
offered her an extended engagement, proposing
to add an increase of ten per cent to her present
stipend, but she has been obliged to decline,
not being able to obtain releases from her other
engagements.
Father Hyacinthe's wife, ACCOMPANIED BY her
son, sailed from Havre to-day for America. They
take with them letters from Father Hyacinthe
to his many friends in the United States, and
they hope to be able during their stay to col
lect quite sum of money, which will be de-
voted to the support of the Gallican church in
Paris.
Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who lie still in
Paris, is slowly recovering his health He Is
very impatient at the stubbOrness of his COM
plant, and longs to get back home and re-enter
the political field, from which he seems to think
he has been absent too long. The doctors, how
ever. say that exertion or excitement Of any
kind may prove Injurious, and have forbidden
his sailing for two or three weeks.

rested in London for the forgery of Russian
Lady Campbell, formerly Miss Victoria Wood
hull has sued her husband, Lord Colin Camp
bell, for judicial separation with alimony,
alleging in her complaint that his lordship has
treated her with great cruelty, and also that he
has committed adultery. Lord Campbell an
swers by bringing counter charges equally
grave, and very interesting trial may be looked
forward to, when all the particulars in the case
will probably be made public.
Prince Teck and his wife are wandering in
cognitO on the continent, seeking to avoid the
pressing demands of the princes creditors.
The princess has again applied to her aunt,
Queen Victoria, for assistance, but her majesty,
who Is evidently tired OF these opportunities,
has refused. Prince Teck, it appears, has so
disgusted the queen by his extravaganza and
the manner in which he has conducted himself
that she has at last determined not to encourage
him farther by paying his debts.
Miss Van Zandt has arranged her squabbes
with the manager of the Paris Opera COmique.
She returned from Hamburg on Monday and on
Thursday appeared in ''Lakma." Her troubles
do not seem to have abated her popularity, for
she received perfect ovation and was recalled
after each act. The many Americans present
made themselves conspicuous by the enthus-
astic manner In which they applauded their
favOrite.
Lady Florence Dixie has made another attack
on the Irish league and has gone to the expense
OF having posted throughout the city of Linz
erick ten thousand anti-Parnelite placards.
