upon , an unknown friend to lend her money , all the-belles of Paris at oace to give her work , genuine , virtuous ladies ( for Diana decked herself out at the . DuAe ' s expense , it is « xpressly hinted , before Hermance ' s time ) , and who , after buying the greater part of a house , has sixty thousand francs to dispose of , in a drawer , and all this in less than two years . To talk of the sacredness of labour after this is almost an impertinence . Hermance was a capitalist of taste aud skill , who hires the services of dozens of work-girls , who are painted as
vulgar , prying , full of immoral suggestions . However , Let Doigts de Fee has some excellent scenes , plays well throughout , and is maintained from beginning to end by that admirable character created by Got , the most gentlemanly and elegant , and amiable stutterer we have ever seen . Delaunnay , M . Broiiak and Drjuois , with the others , were all up to the mark . But Got- was the jriost lucky in his role . At the end of the third act he is almost always recalled in the most tumultuous and enthusiastic manner .

The Polrricat, Reform Lkague.—This Socie...
The PoLrricAt , Reform Lkague . —This society , under the presidency of General Thompson , M . P ., has issued an address , which says : — " If the . right to the franchise be dependent on being a householder , then clearly all householders should have votes , and any limitation must be arbitrary , whether it be ten pounds or five pounds ; and to the extent to which householders are excluded is the limitation unjust . But the idea of household suffrage is founded , on fallacy . It supposes that householder ;? are the sole representatives of the opinions of the governed , and that they alone have either natural or acquired interests in the control of the Government of the country . Neither of these positions can be maintained successfully . In our large towns , the majority of
the adult population are lodgers , and , consequently , unknown to the local rate collector ; and , if the question of an extension of the suffrage jiacl reference to the appointment of councillors to manage the affairs of each corporation , we could understand why householders should have votes , but the electoral franchise for the -whole kingdom cannot in justice be thus restricted . Our system of taxation is so ordered , that it permeates through every grade of society , and lays its iron grasp on nearly every shilling expended . However poor a man may be , he must pay taxes . The necessaries and the luxuries of life alike furnish streams of wealth to Government ; and if , instead of applying the corporation franchise— " -where the case is so dissimilar—we applied the principle of that franchise , theii representation would be
co-extensive with taxation , and we should have manhood suffrage . Let us have manhood suffrage , and Parliament will become a fair reflex of the national mind , class legislation , -will cease , and every legitimate influence will be strengthened . Tlie other points in the programme will work harmoniously with the principle of nianhood suffrage . The ballot will enable the working man to protect his vote . The abolition of the property qualification for members of Parliament , will' leave constituencies free to elect -whoever may best represent them . The rearrangement of electoral " districts ivill give to - wealth and population their fair share of influence in the Legislature , and triennial Parliaments will tend to keep up a good understanding between electors and their representatives . "
A Pestilent Wicr . L . —During last autumn , seven cases of fever ( one , a . child , being : fatal ) having occurred in the police-station , Cambcrwell , and diarrhoea also being common among the men for the first time , and cholera haying been severe during both epidemics , the Medical Officer of Health caused a careful inspection of the drains to be made . Notwithstanding the report as to the drainage being perfect , a rigorous scrutiny discovered that the drain -was not connected with the sewer , but discharged itself into an old well four or five feet
wide , of unknown depth . . " The mouth of the veil opened within the Imilding , beneath the flooring . Ten feet of abominably foetid soil were removed , and the remainder , which liail become hard with age , was covered with lime . The well -was then dilled , and all necessary works were carried out . It is scarcely necessary to add that all had smells have since ceased , and there can be no doubt that the cause of fever has been removed . " —Weeklrj Return of the General Board of Health .
The Eovai . Aghxcultukai , Socikt y or England . — The general meeting of the members of tin ' s society was held last Saturday at their house , Hanover-square . Lord Bcrners , the President , was in the chair , and the Duke of Marlborouyh was elected President for the ensuing year . Several other officers having been appointed or re-elected , the report was adopted , the financial statement read , mid . the meeting separated . Funeral , oi ? thu Duchess oi- Ohucans . —The remains of the late Duchess of Orleans were interred last Saturday at the Roman Catholic chapel erected by Miss Taylor a short distance from the railway station * it Weybridge , Surrey , where the bodies of Louis Philli | io and the Duchess de Nemours Averc deposited . Many French statesmen and military men left France expressly to attend the funeral . The body had lniu in state at
the house at Richmond , where tho Duchess expired ; and on Saturday the « lmrch-bells of Richmond and of tho villages through which tho funeral passed , tolled in honour of tho deceased lady . The roads , also , were crowded . His Royal Highness tho LYuiee Consort , attended by I / ioutisniint-Colomel Ponsonby , arrived at Weybridgc from Osborne some tiino before the funeral procession had reached tho village from Richmond , in order to bo present ut the ceremony . His Serene Highness Prince Edward of JSaxe Weimar also cunto from town to attend tho obsequies of hia relative . All the members of the French deposed Royal family resident in this country worcj present on tho occasion—namel y , tho ex-Queen Am < 51 ie , widow of Louis Phillippc ; tho Count de Paris and the Duke do Cliartres , only aona of the Duchesa of Orleans ; tho Duicc do Nomoura , tho Prince
and Princess de Joiaville , and the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale , with the youthful members of their respective families . The cavalcade readied Weybridge at one o ' clock , and the ceremony -was concluded by two o'clock . [[ In noticing the death of the Duchess last week , we were mistaken in asserting that she changed lier religion for Roman Catholicism on marrying the Duke of Orleans . She always remained a Lutheran , and the service of the Lutheraii church was read over her remains . ^ Mr . Henry Watt . —The public will be glad to hear that Mr . Henry Watt , well known as the chief engineer of the Cagliari , is , though faT from being quite well , improving in health and spirits . He is at present residing at the seaside .
Tbleoraimiic Communication , with . India .. — General Chesney writes to the Times to advocate " the establishment of a double line of communication with India . " He thinks that " tlie East India Company should lay down a cal > le from Kurrachee to Ras TCI Had , for the common use thus far of the double lines by way of the Red Sea and Turkish Arabia , leaving the task of laying them down to the rrval companies . Captain Pullen ' s examination has confirmed tho statement which I have made , that neither the depth of the water nor the coral rocks would cause any particular difficulty in laying down cables , -which should , I presume , pass along the Southern Coast of Arabia and again between headr land and headland to Suez . As concerns the other line , a cable could be laid along the Persian Gulf to the
estuary of the Euphrates , an < l thence either by land or in the bed of the Tigris to Bagdad ; and again from the latter city to Constantinople . The greatest part of this distance is as safe as if it were in England . Between Bagdad and Dinrbekir it may be otherwise ; but the strong hand of Omar Pacha and the favourable disposition of the Sheikh of the Shamraat tribe cause me to feel much more confident regarding the security of the wires than I felt at one time . Indeed , the Sheikh of the Shammars sent me a message to Constantinople , expressing his readiness to give me some 5000 workmen and other assistance as soon as I reached his territory . " Mr . W . P . Andrew , Chairman of the European and Indian Telegraph Company , also pronounces in favour of a double line .
