However, as DRURIOLANUS is reported to have appeared in full fig
at State Ball, he couldn't expect others less interested in the

To-night, M. PLANCON as _Mephistopheles_, a thinner demon than Brother
NED DE RESZKE, but _un bon diable tout de meme_.
_Friday Night_.--Notable for excellent performance of _Rigoletto_, or
The Little Duke and The Big Duck respectively personified by Signor
RAVELLI and GIULIA RAVOGLI. Three "R"s in such a combination. Quite
"_R's Poetica_." Beg pardon.
"Tag" on the week,--if our friends in front are pleased as they appear

_Fair American Bride_. "OH, JOHN! TO THINK THAT PERHAPS VIRGINIUS
STABBED HIS DAUGHTER ON THIS VERY SPOT, AND THAT JUST OVER THERE
TELLIA DROVE OVER HER POOR FATHER'S DEAD BODY!"
_John_. "AH--VERY SAD--VERY SAD, INDEED! BUT, SAY, MATILDA, I GUESS
WE'D BETTER LET BYGONES _BE_ BYGONES. AND NOW LET'S GO AND HAVE A LOOK
AT THE NEW POST-OFFICE."]

with a view to the solution of the Jewish difficulty, adding
that it was the Jews themselves who had forced that policy
upon him by their conduct.
