MARGUERITES MISSAL.
From The London Telegraph.

From The London Telegraph.
The performance of Faust" at Windsor Gas
tie last Monday finished with the cathedral
scene, and there is delightful story in cOnnec-
ton with this. About the middle of January,
1859, while Europe began to take it for granted
that there would be between France and
Austria in the plains of Italy during the forth
coming summer, the masterpiece of GOunOd was
being put in rehearsal at the Theatre LyriQue
by Leon Carvalho, the husband of the Origi-
nal Marguerite, Caroline Molan Carvalho who
died about four years ago. In spite OF the many
changes and cuttings that had to be effected
everything was proceeding satisfactorily when
the fiat came that the whole of the cathedral
scene had to be suppressed. The reasons for the
who was intrusted with the transmission of il
TO the manager, condeScended to explain that
the representation of such scene might give
umbragC to the Holy See.
The governmental bolt from the blue" came
in the midst of a rehearsal and il so happened
that while NJ. Plante talking to NJ Carvalho
on the stage, MOnSignor CASTOR de Segur, arch
canon of St Denis and Papal NunciO ad interim,
was in a stage box listening to the music The
prelate a school fellow of GounOd and an
ardent lover of music. He was stone blind, and
had expressed a wish to be present at the last
rehearsals. Carvalho took the representative of
the censor to MOnsignor Segur at once Mon
SignOr,'' he said, the order has Just come from
the Government to suppress the cathedral scene
being calculated TO wound the religious feel
ings of people and give umbrage to the HOLY See
Can your grandeur formulate any objection to
it?' I!' exclaimed Monsignor de Segur II
formulate objections? Would to heaven there
were many scenes like that represented on the
Paris STAGE? And to mark the sincerity of his
words, the prelate on the morning of the pre-
miere sent to Mime. Carvalho the missal which
Marguerite carries in her hand at her first meet
ing with Faust. The celebrated singer looked
upon it precious relic nay, as something
like talsman, and would no more have an

people of the neighborhood breathing spot near
the river, and the scheme would make the de-
struction of the house unnecessary. besides
making the little park attractive because OF its
antique centrepiece.
An inhabitant of that part Of the city thinks
that the rapid growth of New-York in that di-
rection will soon make a park there necessary.
and that taking the Century House property
would be simply anticipating matters, and that
the landmark could easily be converted into
a museum
There is particular historical reason for
advocating the preservation of this old house.

years old, it was the only original, Simon pure

restored as one of the best specimens OF pre-
Revolutionary architecture.

These windows are two feet square. and the

are of stone, and were probably designed TO

pin oak, hewn by hand, and most OF them are
in a fine state of preservation.
In each sleeping apartment there is bench

These benches consist of two pieces OF hand

the rooms, and run into aIcOves and corners,
and the line is broken only by the doors

At the Rumanian restaurant and at the Rest

ties of hors deuvres are kept constantly on
hand.
M. Favre, the proprietor of leading restau-
rant in the Bos de Boulogne and Of fashionable
restaurant at Nice. who installed the restaurant
of the Palais de la Femme, in the Exposition
said that owing to what he termed "the depre-
citation of the palate his chefs had been obliged
to augment by 20 per cent the quantity of condi-
ments and seasoning for his dishes M. Favre
remarked: Never before has the public de-
manded such highly seasoned viands. OF course,
we have to meet the requirements of our GUS
toners but it is a great pity. for it means the
decline of the French cuisine, and salient ef-
feet Of Exposition cookery is to neutralze the

but not to replace by powerful condiments. as
is now the case"
Several of the leading Paris physicians say
that the increasing number of patients suffering
from dyspepsia is due in a large measure to the
abuse of hors doeuvres, combined with the
adoption of the fashionable American and Rus
sian custom of using alcoholic stimuIants-cock-
tails, bitters, etc.-on an empty stomach. which
is considered by the medical faculty here to be
quite as perncious it would be for an athlete
to dash off a glass of brandy just before en-
tering upon a long and difficult contest.
THREE CLASSES OF RESTAURANTS.
Another fault of the Exposition restaurants is
the high prices. This is partly owing to the
heavy cost of the concessions paid to the
thorites. But in Paris when restaurant prices
once go up they have never been known to
come down again. In connection with this point
it should be borne in mind that the seventy Ex-
position restaurants divided into three grand
divisions-first the restaurants a la grande
carte.' which are establishments of the very
highest order frequented by rich Frenchmen and
foreigners where there are no prices on the bill
of fare, and where one sometimes has to pay
for truf1ied pullet from 40 to so francs and
where rare vintages of Bordeaux or Burgundy
can be obtained at perhaps 100 or 100 francs
bottle. Restaurants of this class compete with
the Restaurant du Cafe Anglais the Cafe de
Paris. the MaisOn dOree Voisns. The best
known restaurants of this class in the Ex-
position the Restaurant Russo des Boyards,
the Restaurant d'Iena the Restaurant du Palais
de la Femme and the Restaurant Roumain.

and the sense of having survived his
usefulness, and having been rejected
by society and shouldered about as a
bit of social refuse? The mechanic or
day laborer cannot, if he would, earn
competence during his palmy days
even then the struggle for bread is
when he gets old-for he must get old,
unless he is mercifully taken off? What
is he to do? Several of our correspon-
dents have suggested the maintenance
of an old holders home as a solution
for the molding trade. But that would
not solve the problem. At most only
Il small percentage of the old members
could be Accommodated in such an in
stitution, and these would be the select
few, preferably who had borne an I'M
sullied record throughout their career.
What still is to become of the great
majority, not yet provided for? They
are shOuldered about from one shop to
another until nobody wants them, be-
cause they can get young men, able to
do more work for the same money.
From reports we have heard Of con-
ditions in Europe the old Workmen
there are more humanely treated, and
sometimes priced, because of their wide
experience and knowledge. But that
does not obtain here, where the special
ization of the Industries, and the keen
est business rivalry, have made it ne
cessary that each unit in production
be capable of working up to the fullest
capacity. In the majority of the in
Gustries the old man is considered un-
desirable, not only because of his in
ability to move: so quickly as his
younger rival, but because he cannot
so readily adapt himself to the rapidly
changing conditions about him.
In one for or another this feature Of
the labor question intrudes itself upon
our notice. It is of Importance to the

He is too old" How often you hear
that expression used nowadays The
demand in all walks of life is for young
incentive us young man says the
| church, the merchant and the employ
er OF labor. His energy, his strength his
elasticity of mind commend him to this
hustling age. There is no room for the
old man; nobody will hire him. His
mature mind and broad experience NAV
be thought to fit him better for re-
sponsible position in life; but no, the
young inexperienced man is chosen.
Not long ago the writer heard an elo-
| quent young preacher, referring to
this very tendency of the times, burst
forth with the query: "Why is it that
L, not yet turned thirty years. can
command four times the salary of my
father, minister of the gospel faith
| full and true, and of mature expert
ence-a man who has had a chance to
know the world and it's spiritual need I?
Why? Because the church is imbuded
with the. spirit of the age; because it
is like the street railway corporation.
or the manufacturer, it wants young
hustl1ng men who can fill the church
building and Golfers, too.' That was
the answer honestly given as to the
church, and readily applicable to other
vocations of life. Young men are the
best adapted for the purposes of this
commercial age. Hence they are given
preference.
But it is not alone in positions of
| responsibility that this is the case; in
the workshop, the factory and the
! foundry, if man has had the bad
taste to live too long he is not wanted.
He cannot ''hold his end up" as the
saying is, and he must make way for a
younger man. What is to become of
him if kind nature does not take him
to herself? Can we knock him on the
head and thus get rid of him? The
world, hard-hearted and unfeeling as
it is, revolts at this. Yet, is it not a
| more merciful fate than the broken
spirit, the haunting fear of starvation,
