My own performances had been the chief ttraction of all the shows I had appeared at up to the time I was en- gaged at Reng's, where I found a for- midable rival in the fair ' Lion Queen.' Irma's lions were two magnificent specimens of the majestic animals Jules Gerard liked tq encounter on niconlight nights in the deserts and forests of Algeria. I will not enter inlo details of the performance; I must say; however, that it was a grand and thrilling spectacle of the mastery of mind .over matter. The perfor- mances took place in the arena, which was enclosed in a'massive iron railing, (At the present time similar railing protects - the audience of. the Cirque Nouveau at Paris when six lions are in the ring) By this' srrangement ei ple space shinny the, = | myself understood.

This was all the more arbitrary as all the other members of the troupe, including lrma herself, were permitted to go where they wished. I am happy to say that I was re- leased in time to be present at Henri and Irma's wedding which took place at Constantinople the day after I arrived there. By order of the Emperor, Orlof was sent to Siberia without undergoing so much as the formality of a trial ; and his Imperial Majesty tempered this act of despotism with a very graceful one that was much approved of by the citizens of Odessa. The courier who brought His Majesty's decision also brought. a magnificent and costly {diamond bracelet, the present of the Emperor to Mademoiselle' Irma Delavante, Bome of the readers of this Jotirnal may possibly remember the appearance troupe at 'the thivky: o pay their fic from that they be gir expenses For the I smoked on in esumed talking : , Englishman. she would dirt t |--Listen, man. you nor I can have Henri will not win by the absence of from forty to sixt; days, which pod. i wil require, for the work done and the time spent they are ullto be compen- sated by the honor of 'being s judge at the Exposition. The position carries with it an. un- mistakable honor, but whether it be sufficient to compensate & man for all the sacrifices the judges will be called upen to make, is a différent question. And against Ool. Davis' plan is also brought the argument that unless the judges' are actually under pay the Exposition will have no claim upon their time, and they will not attend to | business as they ought to. Judge Francis Walker, the chief of awards at the Centennial Exposition, says in his report that judges should always be paid, if for no other reason than to keep them from stealig away home when they had seen all the Exposition they want, and to keep them steadily at their work. x Dispatches regarding World's Fair work in Europe are most encouraging to the management, Robert Mo Oormick, the English eommissioner, is quoted in a London dispatch as saying : "The interest in Great Britain in the exposition is increasing daily, and per- wmeating throughout the provinces.
