A LEOPARD IN A THEATRE.

While engaged in the rehearsal of a
little play, the performers at a place OF
entertainment situated in the Mont
martre district suddenly beheld a
spectacle which made them culver with
horror and alarm. Loud shrieks, in
deed, burst from the ladies on the
stage as soon as they could recover
their breath, while the men were un-
able to conceal their ~uneasiness in
spite of their kind efforts to reassure
their fair companions. All, indeed,
beat for the nounce a prompt retreat
in good order, the actresses taking the
lead, while the representatives of the
sterner sex, after waiting a moment
to protect them in the event of an at
tack, hurried after them.
The apparition which had been the
cause of this scare was not a mere I'M
substantial phantom evoked by some
timid spirit; 1t was a living creature
with plenty of go and energy about 1t,
and of this there could be no doubt, as
it bounded v e stalls and started on
exploring expeditions into boxes, visit
ing every nook and corner, with the ut
most c~omplacency. A superb leopard
of ~ferocious aspect, and quickly recog-
nized as the chief ornament and at
traction Of a neighboring menagerie,
had jumped down upon the stage, and,
after gazing for a second or two at the
amazed and affrighted players, had
gone off at a tangent in the manner
described. What was to be done? A
council of war which lasted a fairly
long time vas held behind Inc scenes,
and while a messenger was despatch
ed in search of the keeper Of the saw
age beast, a small party, composed OF
the stoUtest hearts Of which the troup
could boast, sailed forth in serriaa
ranks, armed with various weapons,
some of which had been impoverished
in honor Of the OCCASION, and little by
little eontrived to drive it into a cor
ner.
At this very moment, as luck would
have It, the tanner arrived on the scene
of action, and after some skilfal ma
~noeavring the animal was captured
and carried back to the cage from
which il had wandered. With the soli-
tary exception Of a member of the COM
pany who was 20 taken aback when
he beheld the leopard hat he started
violently and fell prone on the boards
bruising his thigh, no one sus-
tanned any injury whatever, though
some nerves were soreiy tried.-Lon.

The accumulated Impurities in the
blood cause very different symptoms
with some people. The kidneys,
liver and bowels arc oyermatched in

From the same cause may also come

All these troubles and more may prop
