Ancient Hospitals.

Ancient Egyptian records are vague in
their illusions to the treatment of the sick,
but it seems likely, from legend which is
given in the Papyrus Ebers, that clinic
existed in connection with the temple Of
Heliopolis. 1t is equally probable that, IL
the history of the temples of Esculapius
could be unveiled, we should find that in
them also a hospital supplemented the
shrine, and that the sick who offered sadri-
fees there found something more than
"faith healing" within their walls. But
from none of these are our hospitals de-
rived; they were destroyed or forgotten in
the barbarian conquests, and so utter is
the oblivion into which they fell that it is
now an article of the popular creed that il
is to Christianity we owe the first idea of
care for the sick and afflicted.-Quarterly
Review.

A fashionable audience gathered at the
Richmond Theatre last evening TO wit
ness the first production in this city OF
THE Tar and Tartar" Both lower boxes
were occupied, and the entire house was
crowded TO the extent that standing room
could scarcely be obtained.
The opera is bright, has considerable
catchy music. and pathos Of the libretto
is clever. Gems do not abound. however
and but two or three numbers are
worthy OF notice by those searching Tor
artistic musical efforts. The finales are
splendid.
The opera was presented pleasingly, but
was not what might be called brilliant
production. one OF the principal charac-
ters. Muley Bassan. was assumed by
Fred Frear. and he was not equal to the
