Thi alteration in her education tchemc wa a source of much trouble to Mine. Necker." Through her own life Mme. Necker seems to have expressed herself regard to Moie. de btaU somewhat a follows: That Oermaine, superior a the was, might have been much more extraordinary if the, the mother, had had her owu wav. Then came some difference between Uermaiue and her mother, where the father naturally- took the dausbter' part.
It wa almost Impossible that Mme. Necker and her daughter should not clash. Their love might be Intense, but they would be turo to-differ on potit- leal or oeial quttUoia, and theu Oermaine. ehila as she wa, would probably vanquish her mother, at least In arsrnment. M.

A to Necker himself, be wa hardly an ornament In bis wife's drawing room. hen addres-ed he scarcely rave more than the briefest reply. When Necker' dismissal finally came it at bis own dinner table that the letter from the King was received.
After dinner he told hi wife of the content of the letter, and without changing their clothe man and wife left 1'aritaud ought Coppitt. It Wan in that Coppet was and at cum M. Necker set about writing "ial or l'Ad-miriistration de M. Necker, par lui-meine." to le followed by Ktude sur le I'ouvoir K.xexriitif dans les irrandu Ltats."

There can be no possible floubt that Mm. de Htac'l urged on the tjueen to seek siifety in flight, and had even planned the way to accomplish an escape. Mine, de did not like Coppet or Switzerland.

Necker's life were pulsed in bodily suffering. M. Necker was never ceasing in his attention to her.

M. llausonville, in sumining up the peculiar fasci nation of Mine. Necker, describes her a a woman "who, in spite of her reputation for coldness nnd severity, had the gift of crediting in the minds of others lively and strong feeling." Under an apparent inanuerism there waa true warmth- of heart, and in her everyday home life as'a wife and mother she no-quitted herself of those duties in exactly that way Which assured to her, in a loose and proiligate period, undoubted resnect. Hers was a strong nature, not we thlritt unswayed by human passions, but she held them in check, and in, a time of the wildest incredulity herfafth in her Maker was supreme. There may have been many more brilliant women than the apparently-methodical wife of the Hwiss bauker and Minister, but a purer or bettor woman than this one never lived.

Still, the fact that the Fifth-Avenue Tbtatre turns away a large number of people every nlgbt wbo are unable to gain-admission to that house is a circ*mstance in Mr. Duff's favor, as be receives most of the overflow of tbe other performance.

Mr. Carleton starts out Oct 6 with his company, playing which he is having new dresses made at tbe present moment, He waa to bave used the costumes which have been employed at tbe Casino, but be has now abandoned that Intention, When tbe original arrangement was mado it was thought tbat "Nanon" would hardly run later than the middle of September. So great, however, has been the success of the opera tbat it will hardly be takeu off for two or three months yet The managers 'of tbe Casino are already looking forward to the i one hundredth performance, Land bave arranged to supply tbe company upon that occasion with entirely new dresses.
When Mr. Carleton leaves the Casino and takes his company out traveling be will confine himself to Nanon" clear up to the date of bis opening in San Francisco, and he intends to play the Gilbert and Sullivan work only in tbat city, unless be should make some arrangement with tbe legitimate owners of the ploce under whicb be could produce it wltb their consent elsewhere. I have reason to believe tbat tbe run of the piece at tbo Fifth-Avenue Theatre will go very far beyond what was at first intended. Mr. Stetson is buy-log off his late attractions as fast as be can; tie-cause be thinks from tbe way in wbicb the business started in that it will continue for a very long time to come.
As be has arranged to do toe opera in Uoston at a certain time, it may be necessary either to import another company from England or to organize one here. Meanwhile there are indications of a multiplication of "Mikados" in New-York. Mr. Sydney Itosenfeld. refreshed by bis late period of involuntary rest was telling me yesterday he bad made arrangements to produce "Tbe Mikado" at Nlblo's Garden on tbe 21st of 6e litem ber.
Tbe scheme, as he laid It out to me, is to put tbe piece on in very floe shape as to costumes, scenery, and company and to run it as long as possible at cheap prices. Mr. Kosenfela was going about yesterday engaging tbe company for bis production, upon which he sets a groat deal of hope. There Is to be a benefit performance given in his behalf some day during the present week, probably on Thursday, and upon this occasion there will be a large lifti ruber of volunteer performers, among whom "Mr. Henry JJixey will be prominent Mr.
David Belasco'a new play is called Sybil-la." It Is a strong domestlo drama in three acts. and it has thus far been read only by Mr. Lester Wallack in this country. Mr. Belasco sent a copy of bis manuscript to London as soon as be bad finished It and be received yesterday from Mr.
Wilson Barrett a long cable dispatch indicating that manager's desire to produce tbe piece and bis anxiety to know upon what terms Mr. Belasco would give him the English rights. If Mr. Barrett and Mr. Belasco can come to an agreement Sybllla" will follow "Hood man Blind" at the London Princess's Theatre, It is not likely, however, that a cbangeof bill will occur for some time to come, as Mr.
Jones's play bas made tbe kind of a hit which Indicates tbat it will run for a very long term, probably not less than a year. Another new melodrama, from tbe combined pens of Mr. Clement Scott and Mr. George It Sims, was produced in London last night with what is reported by oable to bave been a very great sue cess. This piece, like nearly all tbe other successful English plays of recent date, ts the property.
In America of the Messrs. French Son, who have made a very great deal of money in the' purchase and subsequent sale of foreign theatrical works In this country. Mme. Modjeskajn a long and entertaining letter whicb I received yesterday, tells me among other things that she will be accompanied in her next tour of the United States by her young niece. Miss Josephine' Beuda, who will by ber brightness and amiability considerably lessen the wearying circ*mstances of railway journeying for a whole Winter In the United States.
Mias Beuda is 19 years old. and is tbe daughter of Mme. Motf-jeska's brother, who was in his time one of tbe most celebrated Polish eo medians. Tbe young lady has been educated by ber aunt at a convent in Hertfordshire, England, and Mme. Modjeska writes wltb considerable enthusiasm regarding tbe ability she bas developed as a painter in oil and water colors.
Mme. Modjeska la herself killed in the use of tbe brush, and she declares tbat Miss Beuda is going to make a mark for herself in this field. Mme. Modjeska bas recently been playing in Warsaw in tbe principal characters of As You Like It" and Twelfth Nlgbt" Upon these occasions both plays were performed In tbe Polish tongue for the first time, tbe translation in each instance having been made by Mod jeska herself. Sbe bad previously presented "Borneo and Juliet" and in tbat performance sbe was so successful tbat she events then determined to bring out the rest of the repertoire upon some future occasion- When playinar in Warsaw Mme.
Modjeska received 600 rubies for every performance. It may be stated for tbe better understanding of readers unfamiliar with Russian coin tbat a ruble- varies in value between TO and T5 cents. Next season in this country Mr. Daniel Prohman pays ber a fixed salary of $350 a night Sbe adds In ber letter that among the advantages of playing in the United States is the fact that she can act as often as sbe likes, while in ber native land the Government decrees that she must not play of tener than 15 times in every month. Sbe sails from Liverpool for America as a oaasenger on tbe steamer Auranla on the 6th of September and upon her arrival here she will go to StamI ford.
where Mr. Frohman has engaged a cottage for her at Echo Lawn. Tbe rehearsals Of her company will also be held at Stamford, Her tour bealns at Easton. Penn Oct 6. and after playing tor a week in cities of about that range of importance she will go to Columbia Theatre.
In Chicago, where ber tour of the large centres begins. She has three new plays to be presented during the season, and all of them will probably be seen In the three weeks' eo- Sagement which sbe ia to occupy in this eitr at ae Fifth-Avenue Theatre. Miss Adelaide Moore bas been sufficiently encouraged by tbe result of her engagement at tbe Star Theatre to make out a route for a star; ring tour through the general country. She will now take a rest for three or four during which tune ber dates will be arranged by Mr. Nicholas Roberta, who Is at the same time booking tours for Mr.
John Stetson and one or two other managers. Her company, which is also being engaged at tbe present moment is to be one of the strongest organizations on tbe road, and the beet, at all events, tbat Miss Moore and ber manager can possibly engage. That she has oome through her term at the Star Theatre without a dollar of loss is, considering tbe time night of her opening tbe was almost wholly unknown in America, a quite phenomenal ocouv SDi.i for the general country 80 nd Jnliet" Tbe Hunchback," and As You Like It" It Is a curious fact that all the English comments upon Miss tSIL. mo? favorably directed toward bet- Juliet, while here sbe waa least suc- Vfrmctar tb expression of critical opinion was concerned.

When it is taken off Mr. Mctoll will immediately revive "Der Fled-ermaujk4 with the ame company which recently appeared "Tbe Black Hussar." This revival Fill carry his season up to the time when uie. wuaio appears for the Brst time, and Mr.

It is uow intended that the com Dan shall play a long engagement in Philadelphia be- iur going Mr. Charles Andrews is expending a amount of money upon tbe production of Michael Strogoff." which ia at present being prepared In New-York under tbe direction of Mr. Max Freeman. New costumes, new scenery.
nd other entirely fresh appliances bave been already prepared, and tbe company when It starts out will lie exceedingly well equipped. Particular attention has been devoted to the ballet, wbicb will require the services of a large nuralier. of important dancers, led by three premieres, jnenrst or these i sine, uriansa. who is favorably remembered on account of her work at tbe Star Theatre last season. Tbe other two are tbe Miles.
Cumis and F.lLsa Cnrolla. both of whom are well spoken of. The ballets are being arranged and rehearsed by Slgnor Baptlstia Celuti, wbo occupied tbe post of ballet master nt tbe Metropolitan Opera House last Winter. i ne nrst performance of Michael Strogoft" in New-York this season will occur at tbe Grand Opera House Sept 14. and a week later tbe Strogoff" combination will go to tbe new theatre in Harlem, which thev Drorjosn tn onm.
From that point tbey oome down again to tbe People's Theatre, on the Bowery, for a week, going afterward in the country, Mr. Edward Taylor, who bas general obarge of tbe business of this enterprise, bas laid out a route covering 40 weeks of time and devoted almost exclusively to the large cities, The repairs and alterations now going for ward at' the Comedy Theatre will be very expensive, and when Mr, Kellar, the magician, makes bU first appearance upon this stage be will look into an auditorium practioally new. Tbe principal mover In tbls enterprise is Mr. Geor ge Brotberton, wbo bas a new theatre in Philadelphia, and who ia oontemnlatlnir a general spread in theatrical affairs. Mr, Brotherton bas engaged the Comedy Theatre for a period of two years and nine months, at yearly rental of S1.20U.
Tbe Messrs. Gilsey allow him a certain amount of money to be de- vutea to toe alterations, and tr bis expenses go beyond tbat figure be la to furnish the balance required. The expenses are likely to be rather heavy, as tbe entire balcony is to be remodeled and enlarged, a new entrance is to be put in. and the lower floor is to be considerably changed. If Kellar should prove such a suocess in this city as he was in Philadelphia be will remain at the Comedy Theatre for tbe entire Winter, although arrangements bave now been made for him to stay only till Jn.
1. His entertainment consists of partly sleigbt-of-band tricks and partly, of the mysterious and ghostly sort of thing. Ia this last portion of his performance he will be materially aided In producing his illusions by the fact that the entire four walls of tbe theatre will be covered with mirrors, making the interior a continuous sheet of looking glass. When iveuar nas nnisbeo nis career in JNew-York Mr. Brotberton Will Drobablv nraduna a number nt light entertainments of the oomedy kind.
