The great event of our next theatrical season will ba the rrpresentaliun of. Le Roi j'iaiw The rehearsals are taking place now.

Noth- ing csn be more extraordinary than loses daily reueareala; lhay take place between 2 aad 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Fancy the immense theater iu ibe dark, only four or five persocs in ths chairs of the pit; a' the front of the etage a sort of large box, from which a liuls light is thrown on tbe stage, and which, contains the director and Ibe prompter; on tbe stage itself a few accesso- ries (it is the technical word), and the actors and tctreeset plsvirg in their everyday clo h- -. Fancy "Hernani" in pea j .ctet, the -- King ol France" or "Charles V" with felt bats; the illusion of costume is complete- ly suppressed, and (he actors are obliged to give their attention wholly to the intellect- ual part of their tale. I have admired the great trouble which M. Perrin lakre with hit comedians; every altitude it studied, very intonation is tbe obj-- ct of a remark. The comediaot are a vain race hey are not alwaya wry willing to give io; but they all have 16 bow finally before tbe autborl'y ef Ibe director. M. Prxrin hat always haw n a great and even enthusiastic admirer of Victor Hugo, and he apares no trouble to give us a representation of Roi iy" Amuse worthy to be compared to tbe representations of Hernani. The drama itself it not so good, in my opi- nionnot to simple, to clear; but the public has been made quite familiar with the sub- ject by the opera of RigolcUo, which it aim-nl- v thm Roi S'Amuse aet la muMC All over the florid, it may be said, the principal char- acter of the drama are now well known. ' r'rancia 1" baa been iu the opera trans-farme- d into the Italian 'Dukr," an I "Tri-boulet- his jfsler, ba become ' Rijolet to;" but nothing has been changed in the situa- tion. Tictor Hugo began the Roi S'Amwe in June, 1832, at a lime when Pari was still in a revolutionary state, when the Republicans made insurrection", when they fought at the clois'er ol St. Merry. - The timet were not very favorable to literature; the romantic honeymoon which had begun under the Res- toration had now come to an end. Victor Huso had offended the monarchical ' party in Marion Deform, which be wrote brfore 1830; in the Koi S'Amiue he gave an odioti character lo Francis I. His best friends were uneasy; tuaeathiiaiasia of the first rep- resentations of Hernani bad now grown older aod had been sobered by the great political events; and, curiously enough, all the Lib-va- la r th n nlaaaits. and all the roman tics, or nearly all, belonged to the - party of L'Autrl et le Jrose they were Legitimists. The A'alional, which was edited by the men who csme lo power in 1831), attacked the romantic writer with , Ibe greatest vio- lence. Vic or , Hugo had made hit debut At a novelist; the writ--rj of the new ecoooi an sioon iui nituio m8w,uuiuiB churches, Gathio institutions. Victor Hugo found himself toward 1832 abandoned on both sides: by tbe Liberal be was aban- doned at a romantic, by the Lgilimiet aa oae who had accepted too rapidly the reault of the revolu ion of 1830 l.ne at well at ibe men ef the juilt milieu, the Constitutional!!; looked with contempt on the rjoetical and dramatic work of a man who affected to ignore the roles and beauties of clsssical antiquity. Jn the. Roi & Amuse Victor Hug flittered tbe passions of the enemies of tbe monarchical principle, yet he could not count upon their support. rOMTICAI. tjUatSTfOalf:.

M. d'Argoui said thai FrancU I was one of lbs most DonuUr king of France, and he regretted that Victor Hugo should have found it necessary to paint bim in odious color. He, however, declared himself satis fied, aod did not must any more on tbe sud-jec- t.

Her Love of the Werkiagmaa and the Peasaat After the Bevolatioa of 1 848 She 1 nought Them Handsomer, Greater, Wiser thaa All tbe WtrMhj aad the Savants of the World At Xohaat. The third volume of (be correspondence of Mm. George Sand begins at the French Revolution of 1848. On the the eve of this great event Mn'e. Ssnd had no suspicion ol it. Speaking ot a Iriena wno leu uneasy, la ber son Maurice, she taid that sbe saw no pretext for a revolution in the affair of Ihe Oasgtaerj. 11 is an luii'gue eiweeu fallisg ministers and riain; ministers. If there ia a little noise around the banquet ball, tbere will be only a few murder com- mitted by tbe police, and I aee no reason by Ibe people abould decide with ml. i niers against M. Guirot. Thiers, to be sure, is better; but be will not give any more bread to the people." She advisee ber son to avoid the neighborhood of the banqueting: "It would be too Mupid lo be killed lor Udilon Barrol A Co." A few days afterward the revolution was accomplished. Mme. Sand had become the Egeria of some of its lead- - era; tbe was ' intimate wita micnei oe Hourg-e- ; sbe knew ltlru Itomn: ane anew Jales Fsvre, Tbe new government sent to all the communes a Bulletin de Commune, and Mme. Sand inspired this publication, which had for ils obj-- tbe defense of re- publican ide. On Ihe 6'h of March ahe writes to ber friend Girerd, at Never, where he wat commissioner of the republic: Th renubllc la the beat of families, the Deoole Is tbe best ef frienda. The republic la aared in Paria; we must aare it in the provinces, where iu cause is not gained. I did Dot make your sppoint ment, but I confirmed it, for the minister (Ledru Kol 11 u) nss mane me, so to speas, responsible for Ibe conduct of mv frienda. asd hae riven me full power a for euconraalng them, atimulsting them, sod reassuring them aguinht all intrigue on-th-av part of thair enemies an' u wvikumlJll The part ot ths government. So be vigoroua, dear brother. In our actuation we neeo noi omy aevouoa ana lojlty, we may need fanatkiem. She goes on io Ibis vein; the tayt that the government chosen by tbe people must be essentially revolutionary; that this provisory government must choose men aa commission ers who will u lancer Veleetion dans une woie Such wera Mme. Sand's ideas on the elections which were to give to Frsnee a conatituant assembly, bhe lelt that ranee was not republican in Ihe provinces, and that the needed little pressure. Politics were to her like a novel the lover cannot succeed at once; he must b tender at timet, tnd at limes threatening. FBA1SS FOB THE PEOFI-X- . Her peculiar horror was what the called reprit bourgeois. Tbe reign of Louie Pbil- - lippe bad Keen tne iriumpn oi ine oour-geoi- s; Mme. Ssnd loved the woikingman and the peasant, especially Ihe workingman. "It n'y a plus da demogogie,"- - she tsid; sbe would not snow mat oaioua worn to oe pro nounced. Democracy and demagogy were tbe same thing. "The people hat proved to be handsomer (plus beau), greater, purer than all the wealthy and the tavantt in tbe world." She would not hear of an aristo- cratic republic; she was essentially a rocial- - aL Her enthusiasm at that brat moment of tbe revolution knew no bounds. This ia her style: I have Been the neonls frrsat. sublime, candid. generous the French people in unison with the heart ol rranoe, wun ine onn or tne wona ; me most admirable peop'e in the universe! 1 have spent many nlghta withont aleeping, many days without sitting down. We are mad, druna, happy at gone to Bleep in the mud and waked up In lha akyl The republic ia safe; we will all die rather man give ner op. - She addt immediately that the members of the provisory government are all a little incomplete aod insufficient. The people will do everything. She personifies constantly the people, as sbe does the revolution: she is ready to die on tbe barricades in Ihe defense of ihe new republic. She writes tohar too, who had been made mayor of iNonanl : T am sa bnav aa a statasraan 1 have written two govei nment circulars one for the minister of public instruction, the other for the minister of me interior, miiiaiuirauicuuiaiai ineev miv addressed to the mayors, you sre going to receive ofticially the lnatructiona of your mother Ah, ah Mr. Mayor, yon will walk atraight. and you will read every Sunday orre of the "Balietina of the Republic1' to your National Guard. After you have read it, you will explain it, and then yon will past the bulletin on tne asor oi tne caurcn. Here and there curious details are found in the letters to Maurice: "Aatbscbild it garde a vut by the proviaiooal government ; Ibey win not let mm run away wun nia money. The government and the people are on the lookout for bad deputies, aod are agreed to throw them out of the window. You will ome; we will go together, aod we ill lunch:" Wben Mme. Sand tays the people she means Ibe people of Paris. It it m possible to express more candidly what ahe thought of Ihe rich people, of the ma- jority of the Fiencb elecloia, aod of popular representation. 11 the elections are good that is lo say, good lor ua very well ; if tbey are bad, we will throw tbe deputies out of the window. The theatrical part of tbe re- public struck Mme. Sand more than any- thing: ' We plant liberty trees every day. I met three yesterday, great pines, borne on ths shoulders of fifty workingmen; st their head a drum, a flag, aod band) of theS) fine men, ttrong, grave, crowned witb foliage, with ax or pick on their ahonldt-r- it is magnificent !" In April, 1848, ahe wrote a letter to Lamartine, very characteristic, full of illusions, of hope, of childish aspirations. lt is al most apocalyptic in style; she prophesies tbe millennium, the reign of tbe people. ''The reign of the people is nearer than you think, and il it it near, it it legitimate, it it holy, it it marked on Ibe dial ot the see. You believe that ruin has set in, that the last sloues sre falling," and eo ahe roes on. I doubt if Lamartine, who was then at tbe head of the government, paid much atten- tion to this rambling epistle. A POPULAR DEMON8TBATIOS AGAINST HER. Poor Mme.

Tha result waa a mutual atlachment that waa quite other than cousinly. The prince was rudely sent away by tbe IS-- ng ol Westphalia. Tbe cousins met and parted in an orchard at daybreak a sad and silent parting. The urince had tome dull ambitions even then, but he did not say, "Don't marry till 1 can mke you an empress," and the cousins went tbeir way, hearts all sore enough, without mutual ex- planation. There it no mutual explanation for inch hours. Princess Mathilde waa born at Trieste in 1820, hat tome mixture of German blood. sunlit by the light of southern akies: h-- r heart ia said to atill retain its youth, aa a heart that hat never been broken. Soon af- ter ber parting with Louis Napoleon the married Prince Anatole Dtmidoff. It is said that the match was one of M. Thiers' blunders. The prince wss st rich as deems, but vain aa ignorance itself; a heavy eater aod drinker and a noisy sleeper. He used to tnore at tbe opera and make hia wife aahamed ot him. He waa count in Germany. prince in Tuscany, but nothing but a million- aire io his own country, and simply married Mathilde to improve his Dosilion in Kuaaia.

Then he sendt Ihe Kin -- man El Mokhtar to take back the camel to his comrade. After a while the latter, weary of waiting for the animal, march on, and coming np, angrily reproach Iheir comrades for not having sent back ihe camel as agreed upon. The accused parties assert positively that the animal waa con- fided to El Mokhtar to be taken back to them. In a short lima it is found that the Rifleman Abdel-Kad- ben Gorieb, who bad gone on io advance, wat also missing. Then it waa discovered that he and Ef Mokhtar had deserted, taking; tbe last camel with them.

The broken-dow- n beauty is as melancholy an example of having known belter days as is the decayed gentlewoman. She is even more aflecting to look at. The decayed gen- tlewoman is touching when one observes ber effort to preserve soma personal dignity and command a certain respect, on the strength of having once possessed money and posi- tion. She clings passionately to the memory of the past, and fancies that the halo of wealth and gentility atill surrounds her, even to common eyes. Bot the liltle delu- sions and fond recollections which gladden her existence sit cheerfully and with grace npon her compared to those which mske Ibe broken-dow- n beauty so tad a spec- tacle. In going about the world one sees this queen at various stsges of her decay. She is a great theater-goe-r, though the seldom understands the play, and is generally much bored by it. Though ro- mance ia a word she cannot spell, and love a Houuiautoi t simple character to her mind, the hauntt the iwunaail may be observed constantly at these places of amuse- ment. She ia no longer a drawing-roo- m favorite; her invitations are few. Conse- quently she regards a box at tbe opera or a stall al tbe theater aa a nightly necessity of ber life; she mutt have something to dresa for, somewhere to go where she will find much gat and many young men. - Wben the it beginning her downward course of decay, and has still some vestiges of youth about her, ahe always hsa some staid dame with her, who neither hat, nor ever had any pretensions to appearance. Thia lady is a part of the toilet, as it were, of the overblown beauty. Her presence givea an air of youth and innocence to her com- panion, aod ber nncompromiaing face and dresa add to the effect of the beauty's elab- orate make-u- p. If a gentleman ia with them, he must ehow himself, cer- tainly; but the lady who plays the part of duenna in this little comedy it put well in ibe front of the box, while the beauty her- self peeps shyly round the curtain. Screened like thia, she miy yet look very well, and some o: the gay young creatures in the stalls, gorgeous in spotless shirt-fron- ts and incipi- ent mustaches, are pretty certain to be taken in by ner, and ogle her through, tbeir opera- - glasses. Thia admiration it food and wine to ber; it makes her sleep tbat night ibe friendly thadow of Ihe box curtain gives her elaborately made up complexion a chance of looking like nature, and the ttepbanotis on ber bead seems to nestle most naturally into the artificial coil and curls upon which it is pinned. Her neck is young enough still, and needs no crone when she wean ihe very low-cu- t dress, wbicb is ber idea of the cor rect thing al tbe theater. Her day ia not quite over yet, she says to heiaelf, when sbe finds a couple of very young men out of tbe talis waning about tbe theater steps to aee her get into her carriage. She drive home a happy woman. At this stage, though she is unmistakable. she it not absolutely terrible; but as the years past on she becomes more and more tannine, otrange 10 say, at ber youin more completely vanishes from every mem ory bat her own, the illusions which support her grow stronger. bhe begins to tancy herself quite a giddy girl again; she geta herself up io a much more youthful style, and she flings discretion to tbe wind. She is seen out now without her duenna,- - most often we meet her leaning on the arm of some very young man indeed. Heaven knows how these young men are pressed into the service; sometimes they are known to assure their mends tbat she is their mother or grandmother, even wben these respected relative have long been laid in the grave, or are quietly living in the conntry. Prob ably tbe ancient beauty pays her boy lovers debts, and ties him to her heels in this way; at all events, it is certain tbat a young man she will have, and does have. She makes him take her to her beloved the ater: the goes there in a very, very dress; on her bead sbe wears a golden wig, in imitation of the hair of a girl of sixteen: on the top of that pioned a red, red rose, wbicb looks as old and crushed aa its wearer.

But tbe worst feature about the shriveled siren is tbat sbe so stead ily makes it patent to all men that sha haa known better darn. 1 ne decayed gentle woman and the ruined millionaire cannot bore nt with their sorrows when we go to see the play; whereas the womsn who was once a beauty not only does not conceal ner lace tbat melancholy relic ot the past but in variably wear a low dress, in order that we may see for ourselves that her wealth ia gone indeed.

The sudden outbursts of bomieidal and snicid.-e- l mania, which have occurred in New York during the past week, render es- pecially timely a paper recently delivered by Mr. Clark Bell before tbe Medico-Lega- l Society, and offered by him for publication in the New York Herald. The firat case re- ferred to was, it will be remembered, Ihe at- tempted murder of Mr. Lyons, president of the Third Avenue Railroad Company, and the immediate an eide of the criminal, Cbarlea Schwarta. The second waa the aw- ful tragedy of Tuesday, the details of which thrilled every reader with horror. Mr. B.-- subject wsa Legislation Io Prevent and Punish Suicide," and bis paper was the result evidently of a careful study of the many works that have been published on the sul jecU He began by showing tbat while among many people and according to many philoso- phies self killing hsa been justified or incul- cated, it is and alwaya has been by our laws regarded ss a crime. Io bia review of the opiuiona of the ancient and moderns he ahowa that by tba canon law the suicide waa regarded aa a criminal and forbidden th prayers of the church, and other severe pen- alties were imposed. Under tbit law prior to ill abrogation in 1791, frightful penaltiee were icfl clrd on the bodies of the - suicide and his goods were confiscated. At present, he assumes, suicide is regarded as a crime in all civilix d countries, and he inquires, (1) Is suicide as a social evil on the decrease? and (3) What can be beat don by society to prevent il increase, either by legislation or otherwise? ' In considering the first question be begin with the etstisiict compiled in France of sui- cides from 1794 to 1804, prior to which tima no reliable data are known. From 1791 to 1S37 the proportion of suicide to th popu- lation in France increased fifty per cent., and from 1837 to 1847 it further advanced to Ihe extent of seventy-eig- ht per cent. From 1831 to 1875 there were in France 173,232 sui- cides, or an average of 3860 a year. During m tbe first part of that time, however, the av- erage wat 3317 a year, and for the last fonr years it wat 6107 a year. M. Lacaasagne said st lha Congress in 1878 that Paris probably, of all cities in tha world, furnished the largest number of sui- cides in proraw- - t w noonlatioO; but that auicide waa exceedingly rare in ib. rnral district of France. It ia difficult to give statistics for England, but according to Quetelet there it a remarkable uniformity in the numbera of anicidea during different period of ten or twenty years, although it varied greatly in exceptional yean. Tbe present average rate in London is about 260 a year. XPICEXICAX SUICIDE. On this subject Mr. Bell tayai ' There is frequently an epidemic of suicide in a dis- trict notably the Egyptian epidemic caused by Hegeaios's orations, the Milesian, the epi- demic of Manifried in 1679, ot Rouen in 1806, St. Piermont Jean in 1813, and others in Lvons and Versailles. In ihe latter city in 1793 (here were tome 1300 victims. It it well known that wherever auicide is commit- ted by precipitation from a bight, it is fre- quently- followed by several others, aa from Notre Dams or the Colonne Vendom. In our country Niagara Falls is a parallel, though not completely, aa it ia more difficult 01 access irom tae great cities. The pen- sioner who hung himself on one of the lan terns ol ibe Hotel det Invalidea waa followed by twelve others within a few weekt, and 1 tne autaoriuet only stopped them by remov- ing the lanterns. In Cuba, at one time the negroes committed tuicide in great numbers nnder a religious delusion, believing thst they would be restored to lile in three days.

THE AOS OF SUICIDES. Tablea contained in the paper ahow that me largest numoer 01 suicides occur Del ween 1 suicides increase in proportion nntil extreme old age; that the increase ia in a direct ratio 10 population antil tbe age of thirty, after which it continues in inverse ratio to popu- lation until the allotted time of life, aod teat the number of suicide is very small, both absolutely aod relatively, to the population previous to the age of fifteen. ' Women com- mit auicide earlier in life, men later. The proportion of the sexes is in general three men to one woman, bnt in England and Wales it it two to one, and in Denmark four to one. In large citiea the proportion ia nearer equal. In thia connection the following table, com- piled by Dr. O'Dea, (from whom, aa from other authors, Mr. Bell quotes freely) ia of interest: Causes of Suicide. avea. Women. 6 lief caused by loss of parents, etc. S73 . 1SJ Grief caused bj Ingratitude of cbildreD 137 74 Grief caused by departure of chii- - aren 20 20 Grief caused by separation of fam- ily .aa. 3. 16 Forbidden iove.......TTr........... 627 Jealousy between married couples aiua ueiweeu lOTCra 229 118 G rif at quitting a piaster or house S3 24 uamDilDK.... 157 1 laaitieaa 76 4 Debauchery., 1,89 233 Drunkenness 2.761 441 A close examination of tha tablea of the census of 1870 shews do uniform rale or pro portion oetweeo suicide ana insanity. 1 be difference ia inexplicable by anv known law. .

He cannotbe said to be rain or proud, buch word arenot made for him; be is not made after thecommon pattern of mankind. The tragicalfall of the second empire seemed to be aim- -ply tbe sccompliahmenl ol Ibe prophecies olthe Chaliwunit. From his rock on tbe oceanhe bad said to .Napoleon III, then at thebight of bia triumph:

I see him occasionally in the Sen-ate; he come in and takes his place on tbeb rathe of the Irtfi ; be does not pty toy at-tention t the debate; be remaine quiet,smiling. With his white beard he looks likea god of antiquity. His colleagues treathim as such; be is an idol. It hat some-times teemed strange to me that he shouldhare become so quiet, so aeren , so happy;it must ba supposed that old age tot teaeverything, for Victor Hugo has gonethrough terrible ordeals. He loet bitchildreonnder tbe inost paioful circumstances, andhe has now only two grandchildren, betweenwhom he likes to h-- photographed.
1BK REHKAK&aLS.
The great event of our next theatricalseason will ba the rrpresentaliun of. Le Roij'iaiw The rehearsals are taking placenow. Victor Hugo is not able to give muchattention to (hem, for his mini ha com-pletely lost the C.l ical faculty. M. Perrio,tbe director of tu Jraocaia, ja fortunately acritic and a scholar of much eminence, andunder his direction it is to be hoped that thedrama of Hugo will ba well studied. Noth-ing csn be more extraordinary than losesdaily reueareala; lhay take place between2 aad 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Fancy theimmense theater iu ibe dark, only four orfive persocs in ths chairs of the pit; a' thefront of the etage a sort of large box, fromwhich a liuls light is thrown on tbe stage,and which, contains the director and Ibeprompter; on tbe stage itself a few accesso-ries (it is the technical word), and the actorsand tctreeset plsvirg in their everydayclo h- -. Fancy "Hernani" in pea j .ctet,the -- King ol France" or "Charles V" withfelt bats; the illusion of costume is complete-ly suppressed, and (he actors are obliged togive their attention wholly to the intellect-ual part of their tale. I have admired thegreat trouble which M. Perrin lakre withhit comedians; every altitude it studied,very intonation is tbe obj-- ct of a remark.
The comediaot are a vain race hey are notalwaya wry willing to give io; but they allhave 16 bow finally before tbe autborl'y efIbe director. M. Prxrin hat always haw n agreat and even enthusiastic admirer of VictorHugo, and he apares no trouble to give us arepresentation of Roi iy" Amuse worthy to becompared to tbe representations of Hernani.The drama itself it not so good, in my opi-nionnot to simple, to clear; but the publichas been made quite familiar with the sub-
ject by the opera of RigolcUo, which it aim-nl- v
thm Roi S'Amuse aet la muMC All overthe florid, it may be said, the principal char-acter of the drama are now well known.' r'rancia 1" baa been iu the opera trans-farme- d
into the Italian 'Dukr," an I "Tri-boulet-
his jfsler, ba become ' Rijolet to;"but nothing has been changed in the situa-tion.
Tictor Hugo began the Roi S'Amwe inJune, 1832, at a lime when Pari was still ina revolutionary state, when the Republicansmade insurrection", when they fought at theclois'er ol St. Merry. - The timet were notvery favorable to literature; the romantichoneymoon which had begun under the Res-
toration had now come to an end. VictorHuso had offended the monarchical ' partyin Marion Deform, which be wrote brfore1830; in the Koi S'Amiue he gave an odioticharacter lo Francis I. His best friendswere uneasy; tuaeathiiaiasia of the first rep-
resentations of Hernani bad now grown olderaod had been sobered by the great politicalevents; and, curiously enough, all the Lib-va- la
r th n nlaaaits. and all the romantics, or nearly all, belonged to the - party ofL'Autrl et le Jrose they were Legitimists.The A'alional, which was edited by the menwho csme lo power in 1831), attacked theromantic writer with , Ibe greatest vio-
lence. Vic or , Hugo had made hitdebut At a novelist; the writ--rj of thenew ecoooi an sioon iui nituio m8w,uuiuiBchurches, Gathio institutions. Victor Hugofound himself toward 1832 abandoned onboth sides: by tbe Liberal be was aban-doned at a romantic, by the Lgilimiet aaoae who had accepted too rapidly the reaultof the revolu ion of 1830 l.neat well at ibe men ef the juilt milieu, theConstitutional!!; looked with contempt onthe rjoetical and dramatic work of a manwho affected to ignore the roles and beautiesof clsssical antiquity. Jn the. Roi &AmuseVictor Hug flittered tbe passions of theenemies of tbe monarchical principle, yet hecould not count upon their support.

wbo had tbe theaters nnder bis care, M.rf' A Trout, had heard that the new dramacoutaioed passagrt offensive to the friendtof monarchy, and asked to tee the manu-script. Victor Hugo refused to g've if, butbe contented to tnvj an interview withM rf'Arrout. Curioo.lv enousb. he wsa introduced to the minister's rooms by M. Meri- -
mee, the famou noveliat, who was then amodest eJief da cabinet M. d'A'gout askedVictor Huso if it was true that there wereallusions in the new drama directed againstKing Louis Philippe. - Victor Hugo said, inanawer, that he never made any alluaione,that be always apoke directly: that be hadpainted Francis I and only Francis I; thatreally it seemed imposuble to find any r --
aemblanca belweea him and Louis Philippe.M. d'Argoui said thai FrancU I was one oflbs most DonuUr king of France, and heregretted that Victor Hugo should havefound it necessary to paint bim in odiouscolor. He, however, declared himself satisfied, aod did not must any more on tbe sud-jec- t.

The third volume of (be correspondence ofMm. George Sand begins at the FrenchRevolution of 1848. On the the eve of thisgreat event Mn'e. Ssnd had no suspicion olit. Speaking ot a Iriena wno leu uneasy,la ber son Maurice, she taid that sbe sawno pretext for a revolution in the affair ofIhe Oasgtaerj. 11 is an luii'gue eiweeufallisg ministers and riain; ministers.

She advisee ber son to avoidthe neighborhood of the banqueting: "Itwould be too Mupid lo be killed lor UdilonBarrol A Co." A few days afterward therevolution was accomplished. Mme. Sandhad become the Egeria of some of its lead- -era; tbe was ' intimate wita micnei oeHourg-e- ; sbe knew ltlru Itomn: ane anewJales Fsvre, Tbe new government sent toall the communes a Bulletin de Commune,and Mme. Sand inspired this publication,which had for ils obj-- tbe defense of re-publican ide. On Ihe 6'h of March ahewrites to ber friend Girerd, at Never, wherehe wat commissioner of the republic:
Th renubllc la the beat of families, the DeooleIs tbe best ef frienda. The republic la aared inParia; we must aare it in the provinces, where iucause is not gained. I did Dot make your sppointment, but I confirmed it, for the minister (LedruKol 11 u) nss mane me, so to speas, responsible forIbe conduct of mv frienda. asd hae riven me fullpower a for euconraalng them, atimulsting them,sod reassuring them aguinht all intrigue on-th-avpart of thair enemies an' u wvikumlJll The partot ths government.

She goes on io Ibis vein; the tayt that thegovernment chosen by tbe people must beessentially revolutionary; that this provisorygovernment must choose men aa commissioners who will ulancer Veleetion dans une woie
Such wera Mme. Sand's ideason the elections which were to give to Frsneea conatituant assembly, bhe lelt that raneewas not republican in Ihe provinces, andthat the needed little pressure. Politics wereto her like a novel the lover cannot succeedat once; he must b tender at timet, tnd atlimes threatening.
FBA1SS FOB THE PEOFI-X- .
Her peculiar horror was what the calledreprit bourgeois. Tbe reign of Louie Pbil- -
lippe bad Keen tne iriumpn oi ine oour-geoi- s;
Mme. Ssnd loved the woikingmanand the peasant, especially Ihe workingman."It n'y a plus da demogogie,"- - she tsid; sbewould not snow mat oaioua worn to oe pronounced. Democracy and demagogy weretbe same thing. "The people hat proved tobe handsomer (plus beau), greater, purerthan all the wealthy and the tavantt in tbeworld." She would not hear of an aristo-cratic republic; she was essentially a rocial- -
aL Her enthusiasm at that brat moment oftbe revolution knew no bounds. This ia herstyle:
I have Been the neonls frrsat. sublime, candid.generous the French people in unison with theheart ol rranoe, wun ine onn or tne wona ; memost admirable peop'e in the universe! 1 havespent many nlghta withont aleeping, many dayswithout sitting down. We are mad, druna, happyat gone to Bleep in the mud and waked up In lhaakyl The republic ia safe; we will all die ratherman give ner op. -
She addt immediately that the membersof the provisory government are all a littleincomplete aod insufficient. The people willdo everything. She personifies constantlythe people, as sbe does the revolution: she isready to die on tbe barricades in Ihe defenseof ihe new republic. She writes tohar too,who had been made mayor of iNonanl :
T am sa bnav aa a statasraan 1 have written twogovei nment circulars one for the ministerof public instruction, the other for the minister ofme interior, miiiaiuirauicuuiaiai ineev mivaddressed to the mayors, you sre going to receiveofticially the lnatructiona of your mother Ah, ahMr. Mayor, yon will walk atraight. and you willread every Sunday orre of the "Balietina of theRepublic1' to your National Guard. After youhave read it, you will explain it, and then yonwill past the bulletin on tne asor oi tne caurcn.
Here and there curious details are foundin the letters to Maurice: "Aatbscbild itgarde a vut by the proviaiooal government ;Ibey win not let mm run away wun niamoney. The government and the people areon the lookout for bad deputies, aod areagreed to throw them out of the window.You will ome; we will go together, aod we
ill lunch:" Wben Mme. Sand tays thepeople she means Ibe people of Paris. It itm possible to express more candidly what
ahe thought of Ihe rich people, of the ma-jority of the Fiencb elecloia, aod of popularrepresentation. 11 the elections are goodthat is lo say, good lor ua very well ; if tbeyare bad, we will throw tbe deputies out ofthe window. The theatrical part of tbe re-
public struck Mme. Sand more than any-thing: ' We plant liberty trees every day. Imet three yesterday, great pines, borne onths shoulders of fifty workingmen; sttheir head a drum, a flag, aod band) oftheS) fine men, ttrong, grave, crownedwitb foliage, with ax or pick on theirahonldt-r- it is magnificent !" In April,1848, ahe wrote a letter to Lamartine,very characteristic, full of illusions, ofhope, of childish aspirations. lt is almost apocalyptic in style; she prophesies tbemillennium, the reign of tbe people. ''Thereign of the people is nearer than you think,and il it it near, it it legitimate, it it holy,it it marked on Ibe dial ot the see.You believe that ruin has set in, that thelast sloues sre falling," and eo ahe roes on.I doubt if Lamartine, who was then at tbehead of the government, paid much atten-tion to this rambling epistle.A POPULAR DEMON8TBATIOS AGAINST HER.

Sand left 1'aria, tnd re-turned to Nohant, The bloody insurrectionof June put an end to tbe struggle betweenthe National Assembly of France and theclub of Paris.
AaT EXILE AT MOHAHT.Mme. Saod waa now almoat an exile al
Nohant; ahe confided her thoughts only todistant friends to Msumi, for instance.Sbe did not like the National Assembly; itwaa to her the personification of the bourgeoisie, though it had been elected by uni-versal suffrsge. All her tendencies were socialistic, and tbe Assembly vti not socialit tic When sha speaks of thi bourgeoisiesn oecomet enraged, ".rooiiah caste!rsah as expiring monarchy, you are plavin:your last card," etc She writes to Mme.Marliant, in July, 1843: I believe nolonger in a republic which begins with killlug us proUtavres." To Maxxini ahe writes,in Sepietubir, 1848: "The msjority of therrtnen people are blind, credulous, ignorantuograteiui, wicsed and stupid; in one word.bourgeois! There ia a sublime minorityin the icduttriai cities and ia the (real een--
tert, without any connection with tbe peat-ant- s,
and destined to be for a long timecrushed by tbe majority. This minority ipotentially the people of tbe future. Itis tha martyr of humanity." In the year1849, Mme. 8and corresponds with Btr-b- et
and with Maxxini. She is ineverything it going wrong. She i
fallen from her Sinai; the sees toe tide ofreaction rising everywhere. She hat evenceased to believe in many men; the seestbroogb Ledru Kollin, through Louis Blanc,through Proodhon; ibe leaders of the popu-lar cause sre not much in her eyea. Shepreserve her love for the people in the ab-stract; "I hsve ten times a day," she writesto M.uini, "a serious desire to tee no moreof all tbia, aod to blow my brains out."She it irritated at the slowness and ponder-ousne-
of progress. She has come to theconcluaioa that there it really "nothingto do."
Mm. Sand wtt cheerful by nature, butthe write now io a despairing mood. Shessyt to Mazzini: "I am very happy aodtranquil here at Nohan', if one only looksat the surface. The misfortune of my lifeia in myself. It is my secret appreciation ofall tbe thin;s which teem to cheerful andwhich make vibrate in the bottom of mvsoul such lugubrious chords. Beessy. 1 wear my costume well, but nobodywill probably ever suspect thst I amdying of Borrow." This is probably a littleexaggerated. Still.it is clear that Mme,Sand wat not hippy, though the had beened ucated without any moral ideas, and csmeof a stock in which morality seemed to baextinct (read her rnewioira). She waa proba-bly conscious that sbe had taken a wrongview of life and its duties. She waa notcontented with the world. She waa madefor a quiet country life, and sbe had beenthrown into a tempest of passions.

Wben Louts Napoleon first tawMathilde the was in the bloom of radiantgirlhood, and being cousins they were allowed Iree intercourse. Tha result waa amutual atlachment that waa quite other thancousinly. The prince was rudely sent awayby tbe IS-- ng ol Westphalia. Tbe cousinsmet and parted in an orchard at daybreaka sad and silent parting. The urince hadtome dull ambitions even then, but he did notsay, "Don't marry till 1 can mke you anempress," and the cousins went tbeir way,hearts all sore enough, without mutual ex-planation. There it no mutual explanationfor inch hours.
Princess Mathilde waa born at Trieste in1820, hat tome mixture of German blood.sunlit by the light of southern akies: h-- rheart ia said to atill retain its youth, aa aheart that hat never been broken. Soon af-

Her finebead, girt with a diamond coronet, produceda stir at the Italian opera. She was a princess of unusual beauty, of rare culture, andpossessing above all tbat dominant qualityof genuineness without which men sod womenare as puppet, instead of living souls. M.Thiers and his ladies ranged themselveson ber side, aod Thiers advised her to payher respects to tbe contort ol the citixen-king- .

Judge Hayes, of the District Court, has de-

After a while thelatter, weary of waiting for the animal,march on, and coming np, angrily reproachIheir comrades for not having sent back ihecamel as agreed upon.

The broken-dow- n beauty is as melancholyan example of having known belter days asis the decayed gentlewoman. She is evenmore aflecting to look at. The decayed gen-tlewoman is touching when one observes bereffort to preserve soma personal dignity andcommand a certain respect, on the strengthof having once possessed money and posi-tion. She clings passionately to the memoryof the past, and fancies that the halo ofwealth and gentility atill surrounds her,even to common eyes. Bot the liltle delu-sions and fond recollections which gladdenher existence sit cheerfully and with gracenpon her compared to those whichmske Ibe broken-dow- n beauty so tad a spec-tacle. In going about the world one seesthis queen at various stsges ofher decay. She is a great theater-goe-r,
though the seldom understands the play, andis generally much bored by it. Though ro-mance ia a word she cannot spell, and love aHouuiautoi t simple character to hermind, the hauntt the iwunaail may beobserved constantly at these places of amuse-ment. She ia no longer a drawing-roo- m
favorite; her invitations are few. Conse-quently she regards a box at tbe opera or astall al tbe theater aa a nightly necessity ofber life; she mutt have something to dresafor, somewhere to go where she will findmuch gat and many young men.- Wben the it beginning her downwardcourse of decay, and has still some vestigesof youth about her, ahe always hsa somestaid dame with her, who neither hat, norever had any pretensions to appearance.Thia lady is a part of the toilet, as it were,of the overblown beauty. Her presence giveaan air of youth and innocence to her com-panion, aod ber nncompromiaing face anddresa add to the effect of the beauty's elab-orate make-u- p. If a gentleman ia withthem, he must ehow himself, cer-tainly; but the lady who plays the partof duenna in this little comedy it put well inibe front of the box, while the beauty her-self peeps shyly round the curtain. Screenedlike thia, she miy yet look very well, andsome o: the gay young creatures in the stalls,gorgeous in spotless shirt-fron- ts and incipi-ent mustaches, are pretty certain to be takenin by ner, and ogle her through, tbeir opera- -glasses. Thia admiration it food and wineto ber; it makes her sleep tbat night ibefriendly thadow of Ihe box curtain gives herelaborately made up complexion a chance oflooking like nature, and the ttepbanotis onber bead seems to nestle most naturally intothe artificial coil and curls upon which it ispinned. Her neck is young enough still,and needs no crone when she wean ihe verylow-cu- t dress, wbicb is ber idea of the correct thing al tbe theater. Her day ia notquite over yet, she says to heiaelf, when sbefinds a couple of very young men out of tbetalis waning about tbe theater steps to aee
her get into her carriage. She drive homea happy woman.
At this stage, though she is unmistakable.she it not absolutely terrible; but as theyears past on she becomes more and more
tannine, otrange 10 say, at ber youinmore completely vanishes from every memory bat her own, the illusions which supporther grow stronger. bhe begins to tancyherself quite a giddy girl again; she getaherself up io a much more youthful style,and she flings discretion to tbe wind. Sheis seen out now without her duenna,- - most oftenwe meet her leaning on the arm of somevery young man indeed. Heaven knowshow these young men are pressed into theservice; sometimes they are known to assuretheir mends tbat she is their mother orgrandmother, even wben these respectedrelative have long been laid in the grave,or are quietly living in the conntry. Probably tbe ancient beauty pays her boy loversdebts, and ties him to her heels in this way;at all events, it is certain tbat a young manshe will have, and does have. She makeshim take her to her beloved theater: the goes there in a very, very
dress; on her bead sbe wearsa golden wig, in imitation of the hair of agirl of sixteen: on the top of that pioned ared, red rose, wbicb looks as old and crushedaa its wearer. But tbe 11 happy; her illusionsnever desert ner. ebe smirks witb pleasurewhen people turn to nx amazed looks upon nerIt it certainly kind ot tbat late, which lakesfrom ot quickly all tbat we value most inlife, to grant these happy hallucinations tosupplant what is gone. But tbe worst featureabout the shriveled siren is tbat sbe so steadily makes it patent to all men that sha haaknown better darn. 1 ne decayed gentlewoman and the ruined millionaire cannotbore nt with their sorrows when we go to seethe play; whereas the womsn who was oncea beauty not only does not conceal ner lace
tbat melancholy relic ot the past but invariably wear a low dress, in order that wemay see for ourselves that her wealth ia goneindeed. Abandon World.
AH OLD SOBl.My lady's month Ib like a rose;Is like tbe little budding roseBefore its crimson leaves unclose:And sweet her ripp lug laughter flow.Her hair Is like the llht that strays;Is like tbe amber light that straysThrough rnaset com on summer days,"When o'er the gold a zephyr plays.
('Her skin Is like the drifted snow ;is like the distant hills of snowThat take tbe rosy vesper glowEre evening shadows come aud go.But, ah! ber heart Is like a stone; ,
Her little heart is cold as ston ; ,It gives no answer to my own ;And so I sing and sigh alone,Aiaa hex heart ia like a atone.

The sudden outbursts of bomieidal andsnicid.-e- l mania, which have occurred inNew York during the past week, render es-pecially timely a paper recently deliveredby Mr. Clark Bell before tbe Medico-Lega- lSociety, and offered by him for publicationin the New York Herald. The firat case re-ferred to was, it will be remembered, Ihe at-tempted murder of Mr. Lyons, president ofthe Third Avenue Railroad Company, andthe immediate an eide of the criminal,Cbarlea Schwarta. The second waa the aw-ful tragedy of Tuesday, the details of whichthrilled every reader with horror. Mr.B.-- subject wsa Legislation Io Preventand Punish Suicide," and bis paper was theresult evidently of a careful study of themany works that have been published onthe sul jecU
He began by showing tbat while amongmany people and according to many philoso-phies self killing hsa been justified or incul-cated, it is and alwaya has been by our lawsregarded ss a crime. Io bia review of theopiuiona of the ancient and moderns heahowa that by tba canon law the suicide waaregarded aa a criminal and forbidden thprayers of the church, and other severe pen-alties were imposed. Under tbit law priorto ill abrogation in 1791, frightful penaltieewere icfl clrd on the bodies of the - suicideand his goods were confiscated. At present,he assumes, suicide is regarded as a crime inall civilix d countries, and he inquires, (1)Is suicide as a social evil on the decrease?and (3) What can be beat don by society toprevent il increase, either by legislation orotherwise?
' In considering the first question be beginwith the etstisiict compiled in France of sui-cides from 1794 to 1804, prior to which timano reliable data are known. From 1791 to1S37 the proportion of suicide to th popu-lation in France increased fifty per cent.,and from 1837 to 1847 it further advanced toIhe extent of seventy-eig- ht per cent. From1831 to 1875 there were in France 173,232 sui-cides, or an average of 3860 a year. During mtbe first part of that time, however, the av-erage wat 3317 a year, and for the last fonryears it wat 6107 a year. M. Lacaasagnesaid st lha Congress in 1878that Paris probably, of all cities in thaworld, furnished the largest number of sui-cides in proraw-- t w noonlatioO; butthat auicide waa exceedingly rare in ib.rnral district of France. It ia difficult togive statistics for England, but according toQuetelet there it a remarkable uniformityin the numbera of anicidea during differentperiod of ten or twenty years, although itvaried greatly in exceptional yean. Tbepresent average rate in London is about 260a year.
XPICEXICAX SUICIDE.
On this subject Mr. Bell tayai ' There isfrequently an epidemic of suicide in a dis-trict notably the Egyptian epidemic causedby Hegeaios's orations, the Milesian, the epi-demic of Manifried in 1679, ot Rouen in1806, St. Piermont Jean in 1813, and othersin Lvons and Versailles. In ihe latter cityin 1793 (here were tome 1300 victims. It itwell known that wherever auicide is commit-ted by precipitation from a bight, it is fre-quently- followed by several others, aa fromNotre Dams or the Colonne Vendom. Inour country Niagara Falls is a parallel,though not completely, aa it ia more difficult01 access irom tae great cities. The pen-sioner who hung himself on one of the lanterns ol ibe Hotel det Invalidea waa followedby twelve others within a few weekt, and 1
tne autaoriuet only stopped them by remov-ing the lanterns. In Cuba, at one time thenegroes committed tuicide in great numbersnnder a religious delusion, believing thstthey would be restored to lile in three days.It waa only suppressed by the governor-gener- al
ordering the heads of the suicides looe exposed in public lor one month, theirbodies burned and their ashes publicly scattered to tbe winds.
THE AOS OF SUICIDES.Tablea contained in the paper ahow that
me largest numoer 01 suicides occur Del ween 1
suicides increase in proportion nntil extremeold age; that the increase ia in a direct ratio10 population antil tbe age of thirty, afterwhich it continues in inverse ratio to popu-lation until the allotted time of life, aod teatthe number of suicide is very small, bothabsolutely aod relatively, to the populationprevious to the age of fifteen. ' Women com-mit auicide earlier in life, men later. Theproportion of the sexes is in general threemen to one woman, bnt in England and Walesit it two to one, and in Denmark four to one.In large citiea the proportion ia nearer equal.In thia connection the following table, com-piled by Dr. O'Dea, (from whom, aa fromother authors, Mr. Bell quotes freely) ia ofinterest:

A close examination of tha tablea of thecensus of 1870 shews do uniform rale or proportion oetweeo suicide ana insanity. 1 bedifference ia inexplicable by anv known law.
.T- - rVTm .u:.i. . 1 . i i iii.vvcBiuiuu luai causes fdwo tena toincrease insanity also tends to mere aaa suicide. A boot thiriv per cent, of tbe insanetre inclined to melancholia, and aboutthirty-fiv- e per cent of melancholic insanedevelop suicidal tendencies. In uropeabout one tbird of Ihe suicides are insane.Authorities are a noted CM. M. Bronc andDr. Usle) who be ieve thai tha diffusion ofeducation and intelligence increases the rateoi suicides in ranee, but Mr. .Bell seems in-clined to question this.
A number ol tablea aa to nationalities andeo on are then given, and the remark ia aaademat toe proportion of suicides in Haa Fran-cisco aod the cities of Nevada ia very larse-ly in excess of Naw York, Philadelphia ornrooKiyn. rroaa ano'.ner table it appearsthat fortosal baa the smallest ratio of suicide and Denmark the larsest of all nationa.In Portugal there tre seven to 100,000 population and. io Denmark 288. In bazonythre are 231, in Switzerland 206, in France110, in Ireland only aixteen. in the UnitedStates forty and in England and Wales sixty-eight.
