New Yohk, Dec. 24, 18fl9.
The Ititl Mnmiiie nt the French Theatre.
I dchirc It K be distinctly understood that I
was there.
"There ! Whure ?"
Why, nt the bal it'oprra on Wednesday night,
given nt the French 1 heutre by the Soelete des
Jials d'Artistes Francul. It was an entertain
ment similar to the one intended to be Riven by
nn association of New York journalists, and to
be dubbed "La Jeunesso Dorec." Every one pre
sent was not French, but every one present was
full of that proverbial French diabUrie, without
which no bal manque, h supposed to bo com
plete. The dancing commenced nt half-past 10,
ind continued until 4 o'clock yesterday morn
lnjr, nud the Intervention of the police was
needed only once. Every man and woman, for
the time being, was an animated champagne
bottle stuck full of corks, continually popping,
and containing the essence of elegant intoxica
tion in lilm or herself. And then the dresses. If
the nooks and glades which Eve frequented
In Eden had been deftly furnished with undetec
table mirrors, and Eue bad been In the habit of
executing pas tenia therein for the especial de
lectation of Adam and herself, the scene would
have been something like that at the French
Theatre on Wednesday evening. Never was so
much pinkiness of llesh seen in this city, upon
such nn occasion, In so short a space of time.
The amount of "6pondulics" spent In spangles,
f "tin" thrown away on tights, is not easily
computable, for every woman who had a good
form wag bent on showing it to the best advan
tage, and I certainly nver saw the can-can cele
brated before with such a generous display of
busts and buskins. But I would particularly
invite attonlion to tho virtue and decorum of
the affair. As I said before, the police only In
terfered once, and only one young lady had her
thigh broken.
Gone l'p.
As I write, the rumor lloats to my ear that the
Woman's Suffrage Association has gone up,
burst, broke; that the action of Mrs. Stanton in
handing in her resignation has been precluded
by the unexpected demise of tho society itself.
It died of too much strong-minded "gab." Its
talking was very "tall," and it has finally talked
itself to death. Some of the pillars, it is said,
wanted to go over to tho Oneida Community,
and would have done so but for the plaintive
vision of disconsolate "hubbies" left mourning
them nt home. At any rate, It seems certain
they have met for tho last time, for the present,
at Mr. Packard's rooms. It may possibly revive
in a,wcek or two under another name.
Kent Her flunbnnd lo ("tchool.
An interesting case has lately held possession
of one of tho Brooklyn courts. It appear that
some years ago a young lady holding a good
social position in Boston gave her heart to a
young man who was greatly her inferior in edu
cation. Trammelled by no petty conventionalities,
however, the lady made up her mind to marry
him first and send him to school aftcwards.
She did so, paid his schooling In advance,
examined his reports, reviewed his lessons with
him, and did everything In her power to manu
facture a docile schoolboy out of her husband
lover. After going through a long course of
educational sprouts, she iutroduced him to tho
society in which she moved, and as Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis the two were well received, and lived to
all appearances very happily. A child was bora
to them, whom they named Corinua, and Mrs.
Lewis contemplated a happy fortune. About
this time, however, her ungrateful husband
ceased to care for her, went after actresses and
pretty women generally, ceased to take an interest
in his books, and did all a bad man could to
break her heart. Wearied out, Mrs. L. applied
for a divorce, and pending the consequent litiga
tion, the court awarded to her the custody of
her child. With desperate ingenuity, intent
upon wounding her to the very quick, Lewis
kidnapped this child, his own daughter, and
finally bore her away on a rouifdabout route
through the Canadas, and so brought her to this
city, where he procured lodgings In East Seven
tieth street.' Here they were discovered by a
Boston detective by means of an elaborate per
sonal inserted in one of the New York morning
newspapers; Mrs. Lewis was telegraphed to at
Boston, and in a day or two the matter will be
definitely settled. There's a grateful husband
for ynu! Husbands are too often like the scrip-turally-mentloned
children. You train thorn up
and away they go ! I am afraid after Lewis left
college he attended night school too much,
k Ibe Hmallpox.
It is said that the smallpox is raging on the
east side of the city; that Mr. Harris, the Sani
tary Superintendent, has taken most suspicious
and surreptitious pains to prevent the news of
It getting abroad, but that in the Seventeenth
and Eleventh wards the disease already has be
come epidemic. 1 presume tho truth is that a
few bad cases have been detected lu the worst
wards, and that average caution is recommended.
Merry Chrlntuma.
No reason occurs to me why I should not wish
the readers of Thk Telegraph a merry Christ
mas. They have always treated mo well when
ever they have treated mo nt nil, aud I do not
decline to make myself at quits with them by
wishing them tho compliments of the season.

MIMICAL Al 111 ASIATIC
Mlxa Batemaa as 'l.en.h."
"Leah" is the purt in which Miss Bateman made
her reputation, and she Is entitled to the credit of
having Introduced a newlaml.lmpreHsive dramatic
creation to the American stage. As an acting char
acter, "Leah" Is Just as superior to "Mary Warner"
as Moscnthal's drama Is superior to that of Tom
Taylor. Deborah, from which Leah, the Foraaken, Is
adapted, has poetical feeling, several well-arranged
aud impressive scenos, aud oue llrsVmte part
which affords a capable artist opportunities for
powerful acting. It gives us a striking picture of
the Ignorance, superstition, aud brutal prejudice of
an Interior German village, aud it Is pervaded by
a large, beautiful, and truly Christian spirit
of charity that cannot bat make a good Impression
on an audience. The contrast between the ignorant
and bigoted peasants and the persecuted Children of
Israel is well portrayed, and by making a Christian
youth the lover of the Jewess a number of very
effective situations are produced In a natural man
ner. Since Miss Batemau first appeared In it the
part of "Leah" has been played with Buccess by some
of the most prominent actresses of the American
stage, and the public bavo had au opportunity to see
Hlstori and Janauschek as "Deborah." In compari
son with these two great actresHes Miss Bateman
falls very short of too highest Btaudard of excellence.
"Deborah" is one or .Tauauschek's most impressive
personations, and she plays the part of the
forsaken Jewess with a fervor aud intensity
of passion and emotion that Miss Bateman, with
her meagre style, cannot hope to equal. Huch a
comparison, however, Is perhaps scarcely fair, and
judging Miss Batemau's performance by a less ex
alted standard of art, It certainly has much merit,
la the first three acts she is evenly good, without
producing any very decided fcoiiHatioii, re
serving her power apparently fur the great
climax of the fourth act, and the pathetlo scene
at Die conclusion of the play where 1 Leah"
stands at the door of her rival and
witnesses a happiness that ought to have been hers
but from which she Is for ever excluded. These
passages M Ibs Bateman plays admlrably.aud the great
scene In which she curses her recreant lover is an
admirable contrast to the finale, when she meets
with the Innocent child and turns her curses Into
blessings. Miss Bateman Is far from being a great
c tress, but she has qualiMos that deservedly entitle
her to the regards of the public, and In her persona
tion of "Leah" these qualities are displayed to the
best advantage.
The CUT AmunemnntN.
Attur Acaiirmv or Mimic, on Monday evening,
January 6, the (.rand Italian Opera will commence
a season of twelve nights and two matinees. This
combination, headed bv KelloKg, is one of the best

certainly do ample Justice to the various operas
which will be produced. The tickets for the season
will be sold at tho remarkably cheap price of tin,
and for that purpose the subscription books will be
opened on Monday next at Trumpler's, No. 926 dies

YeabsAqonx, before art and commerce had reached
the point of excellence which now marks their progress,
food parent, relatives, and friends were obliged to reeort
to the toy bazaars and other places for Christmas
gifts, which, when obtained, were principally re
markable for their transient beauty and devioe.
But now all this Is changed. The giver of ChriBtmae pre
sents, endowed with a greater supply of wisdom, seeks not
for tinsel or gsudiness, but rather for substantiality, and
where once was presented a lot of candies is now presented
a keg of Almeria grapes, or a bag of flue Mocha coffee.
7 beso articles prove acceptable in a double sense. They
sh6w liberality, and they go towards tiokling tho palate
of the recipient. Nowadays our grocers vie with our
fancy dealers in the way of Christmas goods. Dropping
into the extensive establishment of Messrs. Urippen A
Haddock, No. 115 South Third street, a few days since, a
scene met our view that would astonish somo of our old
timo grocers (conld they but once more resume the flesh.
The place was crowded with goods of every description.
Debesa raisins, that made of the mouth a fountain, foreign
nats, such as paper-shell almonds, Paradise nuts, Knglish
and Grenoble walnuts, filberts, eto. Oranges, lemons,
new layer figs, Guava jelly, marmalade, Havana preserves,
green and black teas, Liberia, Kast India, Mocha,
African, Government Java, and Maracaibo coffees, fine
mackerel, shad, and salmon, French peas, tt utiles, pates
de foie gras, and boneless sardines were scattered
around in delightful confusion, and led us to wiBh that
we were blessed with the wealth of a Oroasus, that we
might gladden the hearts of all our grandchildren, chil
dren, and f riends.with dainties selected from such a magni
ficent stock. For older tastes, we observed stowed away in a
corner some 200 or 300 cases), of golden sparkling Oatawba
wine, of each purity as would make a friar call for more.
To housekeepers who are disgusted with the lardy quality
of, the pound butter they have now forced on them, we
have a word of relief to give. At Orippin A Maddock's
they will find Goshen buttor direct from New York State
dairies, that will please the taste of the most fastidious.
Bear It in mind, the store is No. 115 South Third street.
The Gbeat Pictorial Annual. Hoetetter's Uhitod
States Almanac for 1870, for distribution, grati; through
out the United States and all civilized countries of the
Western Hemisphere, is now ready for distribution, and
all who wish to understand the true philosophy of health
should read and ponder the valuable suggestions it con
tains. In addition to an admirable medical treatise en
the causes, prevention, and cure of great variety of dis
eases, it embraces a large amount of information interest
ing to the merchant, the mechanic, the miner, the farmer,
the plunter, and professional man ; and the calculations
have been made for such meridians and latitudes as are
most suitable for a correct and comprehensive National

The nature, uses, and extraordinary sanitary effects of
Hobtetteb's Stomach Bitters, the staple tonio and

pictorial illustrations, valuable recipes for the household
and farm, humorous anecdotes and other instructive and
amusing reading matter, original and selected. Among
the Annuals appearing with the opening of the year this
is one of the most useful, and may be had for the asking.
The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter A Smith, on receipt of
a two-cent stamp, will forward a copy by mail to any per
son who cannot procure one in his neighborhood. The
Bitteiis are sold in every city, town, and village, and are
extensively used throughout the entire civilized world.

In This Season or Diets, fond parents snd ndativns,
who haveyesrly favored their especial pm'gn with kind
rrmrmhranoes, are often somewhat parried as to the
proper selection of presents. Almost every srtiole im
aginable has been chosen, nd toy and book and fancy
sUires are searched through in vsin. The man or woman
of fine culture and plethoric pocket book can, however,
have hi or her most earnest desire satisfied by paying a
visit to the magnificent and extensive new Art Gallery of
Karles, No. 818 Chesnut street. Our readers well re
member the serious loss sustained at the fire which oc
curred a few months since, by this firm. They Immediately
took other quarters snd began the work of re erecting on
the old site. Many then dnplored the destruction of the
fine gallery, and judged for the moment that its like could
never again be found. Perseverance generally surmounts
all obstscles, and the progress of the Karlol has bjen nn
exception to this rule. In their present building can now
be found paintings fitted to adorn the rooms of the most
fastidious. The arrangement, too, is excellent. Many of
the defects In hsngings noticeable in the old establish
ment have been remedied, and each particular work is
displayed in auoh a manner as to stand precisely on its
own merits and be best eeen. Here will be found gems
by Landiwer, Rosa Bonheur, Brochart, and others, to
gether with sll the Kogers groups; exquisite Porcelain
pictures, curved easels, braokets, etc. Last, but not

In view of the large amount of JANUARY IN
TERESTS and DIVIDENDS soon to be dinlursed
and seek new INVESTMENT, we desire to call the
attention of our customers to the
Fhst Mortgage 7 Per Cent. Bonds
OF TU
LAKE SUPERIOR AND MISSISSIPPI
RAILROAD COMPANY,
One of the few securities we feel safe In recom
mending as good.
The importance of the ronte connecting the head
of the MiHBtasippi River navigation with tne huail of
Luke Superior, and receiving the trade of the Ave
railroads centring at Su Paul, will luaure to this
road a large aud profitable trade. Tlie Land Grant
l,fl!i2,(Xo acres Is In luielfan amplv snftlclent basis
for the mortgage (f 4,500,1(00), and all proceeds of
laud sales are applied illrec-fly to cancellation of the
bonds.
. The parties in interest embrace some of the first
ruilroud aud financial men of the country, aud Mr.
Moor lit ml, of our firm, is oue of the Trustees of the
mortgage.
The construction of the road is progressing rapidly,
and the whole line will be completed in time for the
moving of the crops of Ihto.
We recommend these bonds as paying a much
larger lutcreHt than Government Securities, without
the risk of a high premium. We have for sale
S:ieo,ooo at the original subscription price, 95 and
accrued Interest In currency (denominations 1500
and $loo0 coupon). Purchasers this month have the
advantage of the gold coupon, payable at our office
on January 1 the premium upon which Is equal to
nearly fi per cent., making the price lower than
many bonds of much lens merle now offered to the
public.
We reeefve In payment Governments and other
securities at their market value, aud January cou
pons at the current gold price of the day.
