1t is curious fact that about two hundred years

Judge. The chief and most eminent man among
them accordingly waited upon the Judge, and Of
tered the apologies OF hisei and brethren for their

complain bitterly of the falling off in their business
and tine landlords are exceedingly soirowful when
they think OF hotels without tenants, and apart
ments without lodgers. The Minister Of the Int
rior and the Prefect and Municipality of Paris have
directed Commission to inquire into the cause,
and point out the means OF suppressing the emgra-
ton OF the population from the old to the new dis
tricts. But the Commission is not expected TO do
much good. Paris increases very slowly in extent,
and even that increase occasions no increase in
the population, the inhabitants of the new quarters
being dratted or rather drafting themselves from
the old. In this respect, the French capital pre-
sents an extraordinary contrast to own London,
where new quarters are sprlnging up every day,
and yet the rest OF the town remains as densey oc-
cupied as before.

a change had take place in the management o.
the theatre called the Gymnase. The fact is onl,
worthy OF mention from the circumstance Of the
late director having sustained war Of more thar
two years duration with the Dramatic Authors
Society, during which time not single piece writ
ten by member OF that association was allowed te
be presented on his boards. This led to the secss
sion from his troupe OF the celebrated Bouffe whs
nad no opportunity OF appearing in characters ethe
old or new In which his extraordinary talent coult
be fully developed. 1t was at the Gymnase tha
rearly all the pieces Of the prolific Scribe wer,
brought out and there that he laid the foundation
and built up the extraordinary dramatic reputation
tnat he enjoys. Scribe being one OF the the prn
cpal and one Of the most infiuent members of the
Dramatic Authors Society, Of course none Of his
pieces were performed during the time the theatre
was under its ban. Since the change in the drec-
ton, however, his popular name has re- appeared in
the dchss, and crowds throng to the theatre nightly
TO applaud the same pieces that they applauded on
their hrst representation years and years ago.
