po,,.s Wonderland Thsate,

The great Amann is proving a bril- liant attraction at Polls Wonderland theater, his marvellous impersonations of well known public men being so viv- idly lifelike as to impress the specta- tors with an idea that it is the real in dividual who is before them. One can not see his impersonation of Mckinley or Bryan without realizing on the in- stant just how the late opposing can didates appear and carry themselves. And so, when he impersonates Ii Hung Chang or General Grant. it seems like their very selves that appear on the stage. Others that Amann imperson- ates are ex-President Harrison, Bis marck, Gladstone and Cleveland. The vaudeville bill has many features of merit. Among those who contribute to it are Eddie Leslie, the four Cohans, c. Phoite Pinaud's pantomimists, Reno and Richards, O'Brien, Jennings and O'Brien, the Brown brothers, and MT. and Miss Mack.

ICHEVALJER
Grand Opera House.

The patrons of the Grand opera house
 were served with a rich and rare dra-
 matic treat last night. They saw the
 handsome Robert Mantell as Robert
 Monbars in Louis Nathals adaptation,
 from the French of D'Ennery, of the
 fiye-act drama of "Monbars." The ac-
 tion of this piece occurs in France in
 1S1O, and displays the correct costumes
 of the period The hero, Monbars, is a
 man of the people. He has gratified
 his romantic ambitions for fame and
 power, has travelled, has been honored,
 is wealthy, and as the story begins,
 has settled in his old home, falls in
 love with Diane, the daughter of an aristocrat. He saves her life by re-
 ceiying the bite of mad dog. He
 cauterizes his arm with red-hot polk CT. He is a hero. Diane, out of grat-
 itude and for his money, marries him
 to save her father, having nothing but his honor left. Monbars soon comes to
 know that his wife made herself over to him to relieve her precious father from embarrassment, and that she loves another somebody whose name she will not tell. They begin their married life by living apart in the same mansion. Good Blanche, almost a sis ter to Diane, tries to bring them to- gether. Laurent, who has had charge
 of Monbars' property. is the arch fiend who widens the breach and poisons the husbands mind and body. He has
 been a cunning lifelong friend of Mon-
 bars, and hopes to profit by his death.
 He has heard that Diane had loved
 Louis, and would have married him if
 she had not given herself as she did to
 Monbars He makes Monbars believe
 Diane is poisoning him. The doctor says his drink contains poison. His as- sistant is young man. They agree
 to listen while Monbars questions his wife. The husband is not satisfied with his interview and accuses his
 wife. The doctors speedily enter, and the young assistant is Louis. He de- fends the woman. As the action goes
 on it appears that the wife is pure and innocent; she is devoted to her sick
 husband and learns to love him. Louis l is the foster son of Monbars, who had

killed the young mans father. When everything is understood and many people have suffered much. the villainy of Laurent is unearthed and he is kill ed in an impromptu and forced duel with Monbars. Virtue is rewarded, the wicked are punished and the play ends when some happiness is assured.
 'Monbars" will be repeated at the matinee to-day, and ''The Face in the Moonlight" will be presented at the evening performance.

 Meanwhile the news had spread throughout the hotel that the emperor was there. All the inmates, disregard ing rules and discipline, came out of their rooms and rushed into the court, crying out, Long live the emperor!" In moment Napoleon found him self surrounded by a crowd of eager veterans, each trying who could set the nearest to his beloved general,
 My emperor!" cried one, q was with you at Toulon!' And I at the passage | of St. Bernard!" And I at Trebia!" You spoke to me at Aboukir!" "I shared my bread with you at Rovere- dor' q picked up your hat at Ma rengo!" 'I was at Austerlltz!" ttc., etc.
 Napoleon smiled at the "reminiscences of these eXtempore Xenophons, and | tried to answer each individually, in quiring whether they were content with | with which he could supply them.
 At length Napoleon took leave of the governor; and the crowd, opening re- spectfully, made way for him to pass to the gate. Rapp had sent back the l horses and ordered a carriage with an escort of dragons to be in attendance. The emperor got in with his aid-de- camp, while the echoes of the Seine re- sounded with the shouts of "Vive Fem pereur!"
 This has been one of the happiest evenings in my life" said he to Rapp. q should like well enough to pass the remainder of my days in the hotel des invalides.'
 Then l." replied the aid-de-camp, with his usual frankness should like to be assured of dying and being buried there"
 "Who knows?" said Napoleon; that may happen. And I myself--who knows" He did not finish the sem tence but fell into a profound reverie which lasted during the remainder Of the drive.
 On the 18th of December, 1S40, funer- al car, covered with crowns of laurel, preceded by the banner of France and 1 followed by the surviving relics of her forty armies, passed slowly beneath .he 1 Triumphal Arch de PEtoile. The sar- cophagus it bore contained the mortal | spells of him who in the space of tlf- [ teen years had well nigh conquered he world. The dead Napoleon was thus tardily borne to his place beneath that dome raised for the shelter of heroes.
 Late in the evening, when the crowd ! had slowly dispersed, when the murrur i of it's thousand mournful voices was hushed, wehen the solitude was com plete, and the silence unbroken, an in- valid a centegenarian, almost blind, and walking on two wooden legs en- tered the chapel where reposed the body of Napoleon Supported by two of his comrades, he reached with difficulty the foot of the imperial catafalque.

 At length his companions succeeded in drawing him away; and as he pass ed out the superior officers of the hotel X respectfully saluted the old man. He who thus came to render his last hom- { age to his master was Cyprien, the \ grandson of father Maurice.
