'O.l the opening night of the now Opera House in New York, dudedum was in its glory, and the best seats

were occupiod by the Vanderbilts, the Keenes. Selegmans, and Fields. Nilson excelled herself as Marguerite, and Gampanini was an excellent Panst. The prima donna, after singing the " Revel Song," was the recipient of a very handsome present from an unknown donor. It was a magnificent spray of finely-chased gold (a laurel wreath), and on a neat card, in the handwriting of a lady, was the following: "In commemorat'on ot the opening of the Metropolian Opera House." The wreath is an exact reproduction of a spray of the bay-tree, leaves, berries, and stalk being closely copied from nature. The stem is so arranged that it will bend in any direction and can be shortened as much as may be required to meet the convenience of the wearer. In order to enable tbo wreath to be, worn across the front of the dress, from the shoulder to the waist, two circular brooches are provided. These are after pattern of thoso used in classical times to fasten similar wreaths, and bear in their centres the masks of tragedy and comedy. The wreath, which is valued at between .£2OO and .£3OO, was set in • a crimson velvet case lined with white satin. The three English Masonic charitable institutions which are supported by the voluntary contributions of the craft, (luriiigilui year 1883, realised a total 'TJ§lso of £55,994 14s 3d.

The largest total attained previous to 1883 was in 1880 when tho sum amounted to £49,763. A resident of Norwood, Rhode Island, Miss Sabra Phillips, lives alone does her own housework, brings her fuel from the woods on her back, and saws it horself, reads without glasses, and is ono hundred years old. Another case of authentic longevity is that of Rhoda Howard, of Owiugsville Kentucky, who is a hundred and sixteen years old, and has smoked tobacco a hundred years of that.. An exciting scene is reported to have taken place in a circus at Dijon, During an exhibition of animals a liontamer entered the lion's cage to perform various feats, when he placed his head in the mouth of the lioness. . The animal suddenly closed its jaws. The man shrieked, and tho spectators were panic stricken, and lied to the doors. The lioness reloased the man, but ho was severely wounded.
