      XYCEUM—A COMICAL COUNTESS . The Game of Speculation is becoming as customary at ^ opening of a LtrH & sss . rj % r « = s = SSSr ! Sr ^ Sfi 5 p ? SSHfi baron It then appears that the blow was given to the Countess , and not to the fiwthe RegSt ; and the Countess ( disguised in her turn ) under pretence of Srting her own cause , fights a duel with the Maquis to prove his courage which bidI teen assailed . His courage is subsequently exemplified on the Baron SfcflKrjyho is wounded-the position of the wound , ^ . ^ .

Happiness-for two of the See characters , at least-is the result . The piece is taken , n < Jt ^ oforcibly , from the Trench , and is altogether so amusing that we are nof ™™ nef j £ * angry with little iaconsistencies which we never observed m the " houses ot the great .

The Sultan was going over the field of battle , accompauied by his Vizier , in order to gaze on the multitude of victims who had fallen before Ms prowess . He remarked after a while , " It would be strange , were my dream of last night to come true . saw myself murdered by an hostile band . But , he added , " dreams are the creation of the fancy ; it cannot be possible . " This was heard by a Servian , who lay among the dead , but had not yet expired , and he con cluded tlat the Sultan stood before him . Collecting his last desparing energies , he rose suddenly and stabbed the Sultan . The Servian waa of course cut to pieces , but the Sultan also expired within two hours . Before he died , however , he ordered the execution of Lazarus , the captoed King of Servia . — Turkey . By Sir Ge < yrge Jjirptnt . ¦ ¦

      \ Madlle Sophie Cruvelli ' s return to the stage was a severe trial for the singer , a „ Ltont triT thP fashionable world in Paris . When she was seen coming ^" tfc ^ ki ^ SrSSi act of the Huguenots the silence of the theatre was ominous . The first words of the Queen , addressing Valen tine , " Dis-moi ¦ _ Quel est le resultat de ton hardi Toyage ? vr ^ rP rpceived with a roar of laughter , and from that moment Madlle .
