Potter in India.

Indian papers relate that on a recent occasion
wealthy rajah occupied one OF the CoriuIhian
Theater boxes, the surrounding loges being
filed by his Tetinue. His lieuteHanIs and Sec
retaries received orders to applaud loudly each
entrance and exit Of Mrs. Potter, aud at the end
of the first act he himself cast on the stage at
her feet lau rel wreath. This tribute was no
mere vegetarian trophy OF the florists art. 1t
was made Of solid gold, the leaves delicately
enameled IN green, and upon them glistened a
number OF dewdrops. represented by diamonds
OF TIE purest water Each Of the diamonds
weighed carat. Some of them and the leaves
on which they lay were broken of by the rude
fan on the stage. but the rajah thought nothing
OF the accid mt. he was amazed TO see The beau
tifui object of his esteem picking up the scattered
gems, iuasmuch as he had intended the wreath
merely as a transiIOTy tribute 10 her charms of
nature and of art. Hastily dispaiching an
equerry behind the scenes the native Prince eX-
pressed his regret for the damage to the wreath,
and offered 10 get her new one instead but
| Mrs. Potter was content with the broken COM
| pliment. which she has mended, and now values
among the finest of her souvenirs OF India

So The SiphtIesS -

Maurice Maeterlinck's play, produced 10 an
English dress at the Berkeley Lyceum. New
YORK, on January Is. by pupils OF the Academy
OF Dramatic Arts, is thus summarized by the
sun:
a dead priest sits against tree with his
wlde-open eyes staring into space from
a CHASTITY face, bis white hands stiffeneG
around "a rosary In his lap and a cassock serv-
ing for ShrOud. CrOuched on rocks and logs
are Twelve blind men and women most of them
decTeDt with age and disease one mumbling
lmbeclie one almost mute from deafness, three
murmurlng prayers over heir beads. all fright
ened by the long absence of their custodian and
hnally shocked by the discovery that he is a
corpse among them. That is Maurice Maeter-
llnck's play. The language consists. firstly. of
the conJe< lures OF the blind ones as 10 when the
priest VIII return, where they are how far tile
hospital and whether they might make their
way OacN without guide; secondly of their
various utterances OF terror when they discover
the llteless PRIEST and. thirdly, of their COM
plainlngs, imaglnl3gs and incoheTencles, as one
by one they drop into sleep of exhaustion
there IS no further telling OF story, n define
alton OF character, no enfOrceme Mt OF a moral
and no symbol or parable TO Indicate any other
purpose than TO excite a shuddering horror.
During about a quarter of an hour the priest
and the blind persons are eXhlbited-he in bis
pose OF gIIsiy death and hey crawling and
cropping. mumbling and chatterlng In their
helpless terrnr-and then the welcome curtain
shuts out the awful scene.

A St. John Girls Revenge.

American girls are Justly credited with being
pretty we'll able TO take care OF themselves and
to be beligerent enough TO "hit back" when
unjustly attacked. But new IDEA in the way
OF getting even for social os racsm was lately
conceived and successfully carried out by a
young lady OF st. John, New Brunswick, who,
CD account of scandalous story started by a
venOmous woman, was put under he ban OF
the local -four hundred" The clever young
lady who was thus ostraciZed is Miss Ethel
mollisoD, the pretty and talented 19-year-
old daughter OF wealthy wholesale mer-
CHI ant, ana, having a natural desire to be re-
venged, she wrote play satriZing and carica-
turing leading society people. Securing The
support OF Arthur ReEan's company, she pro-
duced 1t at her own expense, playing he lie d.
ing role, terrible romp of an ingenue, herself.
She localized the play by laying its action in a
prominent ST. Johns family, and furnish q the
company with photographs Of well-knOwn So
ciety peopl-, ms ructiug them 10 follow the
portraits 10 their makeup. The names of the
characters were also given to the players, one
OF he best caricatures being Fellows, the
wealthy patent medicine man. The discom =
fiture OF the -four hundred" was touching to
behold, aud three performances were I'M
mensely enjoyed by large audiences who were
thus let into The racv inwardness OF the would :
be censors of morality. 1t was an ingenious
and eff ctive retaliation on Miss Mollison's
part. and she Will probably be severely let alone
