Trouble Between the conedie Fran
caise and the Government.

PARIS, Feb. 27.--The principal actors of
the Comedie Francaise are just now engaged
in what threatens to prove a serious row
with the government. The tragediennee,
Mile Dudley, is the cause of the quarrel.
Tragedies are so seldom performed at the
theatre that the committee of management
refused to renew Mile. Dudlay's engage
ment, alleging the infrequency of the need
Of her services as the reason. The lady ap-
pealed to M Goblet, minister of public in
struction, and he annulled the committees

the committee so much that NM Isot, CO.

Laroche resigned their positions in the mag
agement, and M. Coquelin now threatens to
leave the Comedie Franchise altogether
If Mile. DndlaV is retained.

arguments Friday forenoon before the House
claims committee in favor of the bill of the
Knights of Labor adjusting the accounts of
laborers and mechanics under the eight hour
law The bin is for the payment of work
men employed under the so called 10 per cent
law for the time employed over eight hours
day after the passage of the eight hour

should keep its contracts and having made
eight hours legal days work they should
pay extra for all the time employed over

be compelled to do.

CHAPTER ".

The fair Olivia! There was not male
creature in MontcourtOis from the amazing
vieillard of ninety-four, who was out for his
morning pipe and constitutional, to the
dapper young assistant from Liege, who
had just started in business for himself, and
was sweeping out his shop who did not
feel the better for having seen the bright
face and dainty figure in the village street.
1t was barely daylight when she was out
alone-Monsieur lie Baron being still sound
aseep-in the fresh, keen air of the morn
ing. She made straight for the hill which
dominates the village, and, climbing to the
top, watched from thence the tardy glories
of the winter sunrise. There was no human
being within half mile of her, and she
could venture to sing, to run, to dance; to
do, In short, whatever her exuberant morn
ing spirit, reused and vivifed by the wild
wind, might prompt her to do. So she lifted
up her voice and sang, or she ran with the
roaring wind till she was breathless, aud
then, after slow promenade, the demure-
ness OF whose pace was in direct contradlc-
ton to her sparkling eyes, she sang the air
Of minuet, and danced to 1t with grave
merriment on the top of the windy hill.
There are undoubted beauties who are so
unfortunate as to be unable TO face this kind
of weather, and to endure thereafter the
eye Of man, because their noses, like Mar
fans in the ballad, grow 'red and raw" and
their charming eyes take to watering. But
with the fair Olivia 1t was otherwise, and
the rude wind only made sweeter and clear
er the pure color in her cheek, and so ex-
hllarated her spirit that her eyes sparkled as
no diamonds ever sparkled yet. So that aft
er this wild promenade upon the hilltop,
when she walked, in the coquettish little
sealskin hat, and the sealskin coat Of cum
ming fashion which reached to within six
inches of her feet, almost Quakerish in
property after that outburst Of high spirits,
she was sight to charm and gladden. the
heart of man. The staid step, demure as
that of little Puritan, and yet with adance
somehow latent in 1t; the grave lips, and
the fiat contradiction the bright eyes gave
their gravity; the tyrannous escaping curlsl
