THE THEATRE FRANCAIs
is TO France must feel httle
nuzzled to understand the import
ance attached to the loss by death Of M.
emile Perrin, lis administrator. The
Theatre Francois has all the dignity of
university: It's male members are most OF
them scholarly men, 1t possesses
library OF rare manuscripts capable OF eX
citing the jealousy ofthe British museum,
and the ioest collection OF theatrical PIC
lures in the world, besides which us
property room is richly stocked with
historical curiosities, among them being
n bell, said to be the very one which
sounded the signal for the 81. Bartholomew
massacre. This establishment Il the
home OF the highest histrionic art. It's &C
tors and actresses are gentlemen ana
ladies of refined tastes and good breeding.
A French mother takes her daughter to
the Francois TO learn how TO sit ana
stand 10 enter and leave
room, as well as to hear the
masterpieces OF French literature. In
these degenerate days of Opera-bOutfe and
parodies the house Of Moliere il the
nursery of all that is best in French
dramatic art. The late NJ. Perrin was
not only an able administrator OF this
august sanctury, but man OF kind heart,
and as firm in his attachments as IN the
Discharge OF his duties. His Devotion
to his wife and her memory was very
beautiful. While they were engaged to
be married the poor girl took smallpox,
and rose from bed greatly dishgured. She
lost no time in going TO Paris to show her
altered face TO her lover, and propose the
canceling of their engagement. But he,
for all answer, took her hand, and said !:
N'SInce you are in Paris, dear, let US
rather hurry the wedding" He made
her a devoted husband, and expressed a
last wish on his deathbed that his body
might be carried through the Trinity
church, which was not his parish church,
because his wlfe's coffin had rested there
on its way to the grave.
THE SEQUEL TOA FRENCH ROMANCE.
Many persons must remember the stir
caused five years ago by the elopement
of Mile. d'Imecourt, romantic
young French girl Of high family, with
M. Paul Musurus, son of Musurus
Pasha, the Turkish ambassador in Lon
don. The young lady was deeply
enamOred of her swarthy swain, and,
aided by her gOverness, left Paris without
her mothers knowledge and got married
at a registrars Office here in London.
After but three snort weeks OF welded life
she was taken back to France by strategy
and shut up in a convent. The husbands
belonging 10 the Greek church was Nine.
d'Imecourts chief objection to the ALT
ance. Besides he had neither noble birth
nor noble fortune, and she never rested
until she got the marriage annulled by
the Pope. But alas, for the consistency OF
wOman this lady has just married her
daughter 10 Protestant. Whether Des-
demOna has forgotten her Othello dur
ing her soiOurn IN the convent does not
appear. but she has for several DAVIS been
the wife of Prince Frederick William of
Hohenlohe. Such is the unromantic
sequel OF tale the romantic details of
which excited such interest in all circles,
when the pOoT, forlorn bridegroom was
moving heaven and earth to recover his
lost bride. 'Frailty, thy name is

raised against letting of the real crimi-

public money to prosecute this new re-
former. England is aroused. The newly
formed National Purity league is a large
institution already, and bids fair to rival
the Total Abstinence league. ! have not
heard whether Its members have adopted
a badge yet, but it cannot be long, |
fancy, before every other unmarried

a bit of white ribbon or some other en-

will the streets OF London be truly ediiy-

Rolfe settles the tact. Anderson settles the

The Court Circular announces that
the Queen attended divine SER

Battenberg, the Duke and Duchess OF
COnnaught, and the Duchess of Albany.
The Rev. James Williamson, of the Dean

Whether her majesty is gong tomeditate
on this text is not announced, but me-
thinks the reverend gentleman will not

again before her majesty and the royal
household.
