She was a seedy, fat, little turtle ofa thlng at the Clo&crie and tho bale deVopera, and excelled by many even in the cancan. Ravel, M’lles Deschamps, Milla, etc., are playing at the , fit James. When tho comics wear out in Paris, they go to London, I have noticed. Ravel, Lovasseur, and now Hyacintho will go next. A few years back Ravel was One of the features at the ; Palais Royal Theatre, but he positively jaded his audiences with bis fun. It is marvellous to me that Arnal and Hyacirithe still con tinue- to amuse the French people, .who are * so capricious and so eager for variety. The theatres all over Paris are closing their doors, and only the Grand Opera and tho Opera Comique will remain open during the sum mer. The dog days have driven from town iail the talent of the French stage. “No Thoroughfare,” brought out' at the Vaude ville, is. a mean companion- for Pickwick, . Sam Weller, Micawber, Dick S wiveller, eta., ? r " in fact, it is altogether a different kind of ‘ pastel - The story was unworthy of Dickens; amelo-dramatic improbability, more trashy even than Great Expectations, 1 and the - gal ii cised version on the stage has made bad worse; yet the play of “Ablme” has been almost successfal. : The scene of the Foundling h is pltal came home to the French audience, and the precipice scene, though fitted rather to thh Boulevard du Crime than to the Vaude ville, with the scene at the Inn, was favorably received.' Reckoning with the warm weather and' the summer theatrical season, the “Abime” has certainly done tolerably well ’ for the caisse of the Vaudeville. Not so well, however, has Madame de Chamblay, of ' Dumas pSre, done for the Renaissance, though it be a fine, spirit-stirring drama of ... the nerve and taste of the veteran author of ' the Four Guardsmen and Monte Cristo. Dumas pure is simply unlucky as to the tem ' peratnre, for Madame de Chamblay was excellently well received at its first represent ation, proving the author to be still the Nes tor of sterling French drama. The Vaudeville company, opposite the Bonne, will soon transfer its representations to its new quarters in the Chouses d’Antin. f The house- now being terminated is not calculated to contain a larger number than can be seated in the present establishment; more space, however, is allowed to the seats. There will be three entrances,two of which are upon the Chausee d’Antin and the third upon the Boulevard des B Capucines. The interior, vestibule, boxes, sta|l and stage will be furnished with all mo- B d£ni conveniences and improvements, and ele ■ gantly decorated. The sculptors and cabinet-' ■ makers are already at work, and the new ■- theatre will open, it is presumed, next De-. w cemher. A Munich letter refers to the ex- I pected performance of “les Maitrea'Chan f teurs” of Richard Wagner. The Catholic I pariy at Munich is powerful, opposed to I ; Wagner, and jealous of him on account of r ' his infiaence with the King, although the I author of Tristan has not resided at Munich [ for two years past; arid Lsuis 11., who only I consented to the separation as a virtue of I necessity, is more fanatically than ever Wag- L ner’s friend. Besides the musical sensation H natural to the occasions political significance |r is attached thereto. f The bankruptcy of the Lyrique directed by •e», M. Carvalho, whose wife is a prima donna, ■ v has been officially declared. The liabilities j*j& uncovered amount to a million of francs. Madame Carvalho has engaged herself to pay ... 200,000 francs to the creditors from her future 1 earnings. M. Carvalho has struggled long jj. and patiently in his establishment, which a noted critic always called the theatre mel ancolique. Miss Menkin is announced in [}'" the Pirates de la Savannc at the Cnatelet [?' • the first of July. M’lle Blanche Pierson, one \ of the beautieß of the Gymnase, has paid her ,1 caution and withdrawn from that theatre, k, She is going to marry a nobleman, and will ' be the chatelaine of a baronial residence in the country. Froschine, a new tenor, is en gaged at the Italiens for the coming season. We know little about his voice as yet; his pretensions at all events are considerable. Ii is stipulated'in his engagement that he is to sing only with Patti. Mercadante —blind, is dictating an opera to his amanuensis, and ■ Theresa has gone to Rheims. Xfie Submarine IS lice in Boston. The Saturday Evening Gazette gives the following account of the .submarine race, ■which took place in Boston Harbor on the 4th inst: Among the most attractive and novel features of the day's programme was the Submarine Exhibition given in the harbor < under the immediate direction of Mr. G. W. Townsend, the gentleman who is engaged in blasting out in the channel. This being an entertainment entirely new to all, it naturally attracted a very large concourse of both sexes,,and was probably witnessed by 10,000 people, who were assembled in multitudes • upon the piers, on both sides.of the harbor, on the decks of ships, steamboats and tugs, While hundreds of smaller craft, gaily decked With bunting, Were drifting about in the vi cinity of the submarine track, all of which ~ were densely crowded with men and women, anxious to see “what they should see." While - engaged in watching the preparations that were being made to get the submarine “walkists” in readiness for their tramp, the en tire party seemed to have forgotten that part of the programme was to be an explosion under water, and as if glad of the opportunity to startle and surprise those of the company who were afloat, Mr. Smith, the electrician, without,, any warning, communicated the [electric spark to the twenty kegs ol powder ‘ ihe had previously sunk in the channel, when terrific explosion took place, throwing a f-j .large volume of water Ztcrr ninety to one hundred feet into the air, while the whole [ ‘ surface of the water, within a radius of a ' ' hundred feet of where the explosion occurred Was most fearfmly agitated. This was a grand debut for the performers, and added largely to the interest that all were manitest , ingin a most impatient manner in the other grand- features of the entertainment, the L walking match. |, The divers being duly equipped in their ar il' mpr, lay quietly hanging over the gunwales K of their attending boats, looking more like B submarine monsters than they did like ■ “walkista” contending for a prize. Precisely B at 11 o’clock and .twenty-five minutes their W~- : heads disappeared from the floating stage, Jr which was anchored a short distance from the head ol Long wharf, and the men started on their perilous tramp of 2,100 feet to a like , stage, which was anchored off the Cutnrd docks on the East Boston side. There were three entries in this race, viz.: George Pail lips, of Marshfield, who has been five years in , thejbusihess; Wm. Lloyd, of Boston, who has A been ten years a diver, and Jacob .Palmer, ;• of Boston, who has also had an ex 1,- periecce of five yearn. Each man was provided with a guiding line to direct him St# ,omsihis course, &id each diver was also accompspied byispmairaoat* provided, with air pnmjps,iwhict|-are kept conptantiy.at work - tofikupply,th4m with alrrExtendingfrom each bdaf to the diver Was a life lta&jwijlch is al ways in charge ofj sgms'i particular XperSon, whoacte as “tenfipri’ for: the diver whenever he is Under thewatef 1 . ‘ Directly after being lowered they Eet out on their tramp, and, _ at the out set, Mr. Palmer seemed to bo making the best progress., Directly,-ho wever, he be gan to fall behind, arid soon was a long dis tance in the rear, which was eaused, as was subsequently ascertained, by his guiding line getting foul uppn a rock. Lloyd made a good headway, but could not keep up with Phil lips, who'proved to be the champion sub marine- “walkist-” completed his journey in 17 minutes,-While Lloyd was 18i, and Palmer 21. On the arrival of each diver at the floating .stage he was provided with a ladder, up which he climbed till near the surface, when ®ewas assisted out and immediately dis mantled,- all three appearing to be as fresh as when tfiey first entered the water. The crowd cheered, the divers waved their flags, the guns boomed from every quarter of the harbor, and thus germinated a novel and ex ceedingly interesting' feature. of the day’s programme. To Mr. Phillips was awarded a prize of §75, to Mr., Lloyd a prize of §5O, and to Mr. Palmer a prize of §25, all of which were fairly earned, their walk „under water proving to be a much greater success than any of the chafnpion “ walkists” of the City have made iri' ; this vicinity on dry land. What they undertook to do they- accom plished, and the.public was neither deceived nor disappointed. About Docs. The “Mac-a-Cheek" correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial relates ,'tho follow ing anecdotes of - dogs; “When a boy I had a.dog named Bloof. He was a long, low, schooner-build of a dog, with Ms steering apparatus shaped like a hammer. The tail came out, with great vigor, for two or three inches, and then shot off at a right angle, giving the appendage, when elevated, the appearance of a flag. His head was large, round and Websterian in its massiveness,and would have awed the lookeron as that other Massachusetts dog was wont to do, but for the comidal expression that came of one eye being larger than the other, that made Sloof look as If he were of a perpetual state of wink. Every dog—possessed of two or four legs—has his giant, that he is called upon to kill,or be killed by,some time during thespace allotted to humanity. lam sorry to say that my giant is yet alive,and in good health. May the devil seize him. Sloof's enemy was an appendage to a butcher boy, in tho shape ol a full-blooded bulldog of a vicious disposi tion, and armed, not with needle guns, but needle teeth; and many times poor Sloof was driveD, terribly wounded, from the pavement to the rear of the house. He gave it up at last, and in the morning when ;he saw com ing the merchant of choice' bits for cheap boarding-houses, and his ugly beast, Sloof would drop bis hammer-like tail, and re treat, in a'melancholy way, to the back yard. The lazy butcher-boy, however, conceived the bappy idea of muzzling bull, and putting him in harness before his wheel-barrow. The first morning Sloof got sight of thig strange arrangement he waited to examine it from curiosity and then it struck him that he had' the boll where ho wanted him. With bristles up and tail erect, he waited for the unhappy dog in harness, and gave him a handsome dressing.* After that he was on the look-out for the enemy, and could recognize the creak of the squares away. Tnis was ‘high old strategy,’ and equal, at least, to Buell's retreat from before Chattanooga to the Ohio. It was worthy a place in that historical effort called ‘Ohio in the War.” Sloof had a Democratic hatred for vagß and negroes. It was a white man’s government with the dog. It was beautifully illustrated once. While climbing over the gate, his hind leg Blippcd through a knot-hole, and Sloof, pitohing over, found himself hanging by the one extremity. It was unpleasant, not to say painful. Sloof tried to help himself, and failing, set up a howling remonstrance. A benevolent darkey happening to pass, had his kind feelings so worked upon that he lifted the dog, extricated his leg, and let him down. Sloof submitted to the relief while it was going on, but the moment he found him self safe, his Democratic principles overcime his grali qde, and, flying at his preserver, he tore off the seat of his pantaloons. ‘Fore de Lord !’exclaimed Cuff, backing against the fence, after the rescue, to conceal hU la cerated condition; ‘dat dog's de meanest white man’s dog I eber did Bee —sure!’ “ 1 remember a little history of a dog told me many yearn since, that is scarcely credi ble to one unacquainted with dogs, but to the student of dog-nature very characteristic. A gentleman possessed of a noble New foundland dog had trained him to go to market with a basket and a piece of money to purchase the morning steak. The money, with a towel, was deposited in the basket, and Bowser, with much dignity and thoughtfulness, would trot ofl to butcher's stall, and the man of beef, understanding the arrangement, would take the money, deposit the steak, and the dog would trot home. Turning a corner one morning, on his ■ way from market, he came upon two dogs fighting. With the same feelings that will make the crowd of human dogs throng about a prize ring to see two other dogs pound each other, Bowser paused, and for a second looked on ; then, excited by the contest, he dropped his bas ket and ‘went in.’ He whipped both, but while so engaged a hungry hound stole his steak. Bowser picked up his basket; the loss of weight told the Btory. He stopped and investigated. The steak was gone, and the poor dog’s worry wbb comical. He looked in eveiy direction for ,the lost meat, all the while half growling and whining as if talking to himself. Some men who saw the affair and knew the dog, watched to see what solution Bowser would make of the difficulty. The poor fellow was for a moment in doubt, and then, as if an, idea had struck him, he set off for the market again. The little crowd followed him. They saw him approach the butcher’s stall, but in stead of marching boldly up, he stopped and looked wistfully at the meat. At last, when the butcher’s back was turned for a second, he seized the largest steak on the block, and ran home with it as if the devil were after him. ' “I claim, with all due respect for the pro fession, that we have returned many a man to Congress with less resource of a mental sort than exhibited by Bowser; and, as for the military, we would have whipped the Confed erates in the first year of the war if we’d had such a dog for a general.” . A Wcll-iScown Character Described# The subject of the following sketch, neatly introduced through the pretax, of a story, is well known to many of our citizens, having been in office here under Government. It has tone the rounds of the Western press; “Out at Columbus, in Ohio, lives a little, weazen, dried-up, Bhabby-looking politician, named Joe G- -. He is the most insignifi cant looking specimen of humanity one could meet.in a month, but smart as a steel-trap, BDd auy one who takes him for a fool will find himself sadly deceived. He is notorious for furnishing the finest specimen of cool im pudence of any man in Ohio. The following V) THED ILY BYESIN6 BPIX.ETIN—E anecdote, illustrative of this trait of his cha fcapteivJs told of him: , “ Some years ago, being in;» Philadelphia, berecelvedanmtrndrifctioiiltpairiDnment divine of that city. Thcrevewnd gentleman invited Joe to attend bisjUthuklh qi£ii£certaiij 'Sunday, which invitatipri They entered the Bacrecyedifice. together. It was one of the first churehris of the city, and its members were fashionable and aristocratic in ffie extreme.; The ministerputi Joeinto an elaborately-furnished pew, well to the front Joe nestled comfortably abwri. irit6 one cor ner of the same, and lo.oked about as interest ing and contented as a toad under a cabbage leaf. ,•• •; T V J - * ■ “After a while the owner of the pew ar rived, and at once gave signs of intense dis gust and indignation at the presence of the interloper. He looked at the pew, scowled magnificently, ; and finally after fumbling through his pocket for some time, drew forth a card, and wrote on it with a pencil: “This is my seat, sir!” and with an air of the loftiest contempt, tossed it over to Joe. “The latter took it up and read it with a lamblike meekness, peculiar to himself, ahd then with the most delightful Coolness wrote in reply: “It's a devilish good seat. What rent do you pay !" and,tossed the card back to its owner. The latter lopked at him with the most profound astonishment, < a minute or two, aßd a broad grin-.overspread his face. He evidently enjoyed the subliffie brass and coolness of his new acquaintance, and when service was oyer' he approached ‘ Joe, apologized- for' his rudeness,' invited to his house, gave him the best he had, and treated-*hlm - with ' the utmost - respect and consideration during his sojourn in this city.” - Tlie Jjondon t'rystal I*ulace. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post writes as follows regarding “The Crys tal Palace and its festivals When I-said that one scarcely wonted to see ariy English edifice a second time, I made a mental reservation of Paxton’s exquisite conception, the Crystal Palace—now removed from Hyde Park to Sydenham. One may frequent that, day after day, for weeks to gether, with renewed delight; Placed on a hillside, in a most lovely region of country, which it overlooks, the grounds have been ; laid out with the nieest taste, arid the interior fitted up with works of art that are a never ending study. Copies of whatever is best in continental architecturej and statuary fill the aisles, pictures—not very good, yet on the whole pleasing—line the walls, and music, such aB one rarely hears elsewhere, reverberates along the lofty domes of the transept. Beckford, in his wild and original though'overrated tale ofVathek, de scribes the Caliph as having added to the palace of hiß father five magnificent wings, destined to the particular gratification of each of the senses. In, the first were tables con tinually covered with exquisite dainties, which he called the Eternal or TJnsatiating Banquet; the second, named the Temple ot* Melody, was inhabited by the most skilful musicians and admired poets of the time; the third, the Palace of Pertnmes, was lighted by aromatic lamps,and made fragrant by gar dens of innumerable odors; and the fourth was the “Delight of the Eyes,” where varie ties, collected from every corner of the earth, were found in such profusion as to dazzle and confound, but for the order in which they were arrayed. “One, gallery exhibited the pictures of th& celebrated Maui, and statues that seemed to be alive. Here ia well-man aged- perspective attracted the Bight, there the magic of optics agreeably deceived, it; whilst the naturalist ou his part exhibited in . their several classes the various gifts that Heaven had bestowed on our globe. Well, all this is nearly realized in the Crystal Palace, together perhaps with the fifth wing, called “the Retreat of Joy or the Dangerous,” frequented by “troops of, beautiful and seductive houris, who receive with caresses all who approach them.” The occasion of my visit there added to the natural attractions of' the place. It was the triennial festival of Handel, by which the English gratefully commemorate the sojourn of the great German composer among them in former years. All the musicians and all the musical societies of the metropolis take part in the exercises. The grandest compo sitions of the best authors are given with the utmost exactitude, and with an enthusiasm of love that is hardly expected from this cold and practical people. Pour thousand per formers —singers and orchestras—join the powers of their instruments and voices, and no less than twenty fhouaancLauditors furnish the incessant salvos of applause. Among the Boloists are Nilsson, Miss Kellogg, Titiens, Miss Dolby, Bima Reeves, Cum mings and others, who are among the lead ing singers of Europe. As a general thiDg I estimate music not by the volume of sound emitted, but by its delicacy and har mony, and I have therefore little fancy for these monster concerts; and yet, after hear ing the full round organ-like peals of y este r - d ly, I have come to the conclusion that I have never before heard the music of the orotorio as it ought to be given. In its precision, its depths, its grandeur, its soft whispers of melody followed by rolling billows of harmony, it surpassed all that my imagination had previously conceived of the power of sound. Such was the impression it produced upon me, that all night long, after my return home,and all day to-day there have been surging through my ears and in my heart mighty marches that tell of the onward struggles of our humanity and the triumphal strains of the hallelujahs with which the an gelic hosts of heaven wilTEail and salute their completion.

CITY BULLETIN. e m F -1 The Bricklayers.— A‘meeting of bricklayers of the southern part of the city was held last evening at Kater Hall, Btewart Forbes in the chair. After roll call, the ininntes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Reports were received from some of the yardsfavoring the ad vance, the employers pledging themselves to givelhe wages desired by the employes. Adverse reports were also received from several employ ers. On motion of James Gorman, a vote of thanks was returned to the employers who. had . given the advance desired'.' A motion was-made by James (Ghyrl for the appointment of a com mittee to visit the employers and ascertain their vieviß respecting an advanco of wages.

It is alleged that the prisoner set fire to a lotof straw in the loft of the Pennsylvania HoseCompany’S house, on Eighth street, below Green, on the morning of the -Ith of July. He was seen, a few minutes prior to the discovery, of the flames, climbing out of aback window off to" a on e-story structure, and then into a- yard adjoining; from' which' he got to the street, and then went to "the hose house. Before reaching the door he was informed of the Are, and he communicated'* the- feet to those in the hnildingi The Alderman considered the testi mony sufficient to warrant him in sending the cnße to a jury, and therefore committed him.

An able English writer in Saint PauVa makes the following sensible rejoinder to the stinging diatribes against women which hare of late seemed the special mission of the Sat urday -Rcufeuv particularly the “Girl of the Period:’' “The women of our day are not the coun terparts of their mothers. Times have changed* and women have changed with them. The old conception ,wbich prevailed till the last generation, that wbena woman had married young, had kept her homo In good order, had reared a family.of children, and had lived in harmony Withher husband, she had fulfilled the whole aim and object and purport of her. existence, is dying out of fashion. Our wo men know more, read more, think more than; they did in the good old days; and we can not reasonably'expect that they should* be con tented with the same round of pleasures and dut!esi !! lli always'seettia td methat these temporls acti’ -are engaged .in, solving the insoluble problem of how to eat your cake ahd have it Jf yon are to have women who are fit to share the thoughts, de sires and aspirations of men of a high degree of cnlture, yon cannot also have women who cumulate the functions of mine, housekeeper and coolL NbtwitbSthndiOg the fashlon for co-operative Stores, the principle of the divi-. Bion of labor is the ruliug ono of our day. In virtue of thatprinciple we have to a great ex tent exempted vwomeu' from > household and menial cares; and so doing wahave se cured a degree of culture and refinement not cOmpaple,TthinKwiffiahylw#ilteiht^ ; ' ference ih domestic matters. Ibfteh wish that the wiseacres who repeat the parrot cry about the happy time when ladies cooked their own dinners,and mended their own clothes,and did their own marketing,could know something of the family life of countries where women’ still perform the du|ies jD see urged so elo quently Upon their attention. In the north of Europe the wife is still the ‘good woman of the house.’ There the ladies. cook the dinners with their own hands, wait at dinner to a considerable degree, pass no small part of their time in the kitchen and the store room, and even lend a hand at the wash-tub. Ido not dispute the fact that if you wish your womenkind tobe'only a 1 superior de scription of upper Bervantß you had better seek for.them in. these patriarchal .climes. But even the courage of a ’Saturday Re viewer would shrink from the idea of marry ing or living with these ‘brave housewives.’ As a rule, i am afraid you must say that the excellence of women as housekeepers is in inverse proportion to their excellence as in tellectual companions. Ido not say that a clever educated woman may not keep her home comfortable, and her household in good order, and bring up her children, ex- lntelligence and organization will supply the place of personal labor and. con stant supervision. But Ido Say, that if the nursery and the kitchen and’the laundry are to be considered the proper sphere for the ex ercise of women’s energies, it is idle to imagine, they can;also;peideal;companions for the drawing-roorh and the study. Persons in the habit Of leading; the' advertising eol umes of the daily papers,must be aware. that, there are two classes of'advertisements ema nating from ladies who desire to ffl tiui posi tion of housekeeper to a single gentleman or widower. The advertisers of the one class describe themselves as domesticated andjfond of cooking; the other base their pretensions on being musical and agreeable companions. The distinction thus,drawn .appears to ,me representative of modem womanhood—to apply to wives equally With housekeepers. “ Common honesty compels me to confess that I believe women were created for other objects than bearing children, and I doubt whether, when a woman has married a hus band and made his home comfortable, she has done all which God or man have a right to expect of her. But tny wish is now to treat the subject from a purely masculine stand-point. Looking at the great woman question from the male point Of view, I hold mat we are unreasonable in expecting that English ladies should unite the inconsistent merits of the intellectual companion and the bustling housekeeper. “If lam right in this opinion it is idle to imagine that, this transition period, daring which women are emerging, as a class, from the kitchen and store-room into the study and library, will not be attended with a great amount of extravagance and absurdity. And this phase will, undoubtedly, afford good scope for Bmall social satire of the ordinary Saturday Review calibre. There is room for any number of pretty, twaddling essays about (esthetic women, pushing women, little and big women, Papal women, women in orders, and so on. “I should wish that the critic whose utter ances I have criticised in turn might tell ns whether he really meant to accuse the wo men of our day of anything more than vanity and folly. If not, he ranks at once amidst that great class of writers who, from time to time, have sharpened their wits upon the foibles of the female sex. But if he meant more than this —if he understood the purport which his words conveyed—if he intended to imply that English women were immodest, heartless ana vicious, I deem him to have uttered a very foul and base libel, which it behooves men, even more than women, to protest Bgainst loudly. It would, indeed, be an evil day‘for England if the time, should ever come when our countrywomen should be spoken of habitually in the terms which the Saturday Reviewer has thought himself justified, in applying to them. When such language has been used it ought not to be passed over in silence. Women can always hold their own in the contest with their critics. If every English newspaper were to go on writing articles about the extravagance ot female attire from now to the end of the year they would not lessen by a single item the niilliners’ bills which will come due next Christmas. Bnt the case becomes different when the attack is leveled not against fashions, but . against reputations. And it argues ill for the condition of a country when men hear the women who are near and dear to them libeled without resenting the insult It is for that reason I have entered this pro test of mine.” ■ Slovenliness In Spain, An English writer remarks: The. first thing that 'strikes an English lady in all foreign countries is the absence of neatness, and of that domestic privacy which some of us carry to ox ccss. It Is nothing to ns that foreigners do'not feel the want as we do, that there is nothing in congruous to the Spaniard in the mixture of pomp and sqnallor, which the English resident finds so repulsive. It may seem strange to us that the courtyard of. toe Palaco at Madrid should be worse paved than any , stableyard . in a dilapidated house in England, and that heaps of rubbish should be left in full view of the Qneon’s’windows. So, too, when we hear of the family-wash hanging, out to dry over - too drawing-room balcony of the handsomest houses in Madrid, we are struck by a painful sense of the scandal such a sight would cause in London.
