London, March 4 The Prince of Wales entirely refused to allow Ins equilibrium to bo put out by the earthquake at Cannes. Instead of utilising lii 3 position as A Royalty to insist on tho railway company's Accelerating his depar ture, H.R.H. remained quietly where he waa, and by walking and driving about just as usual (oiToring assistance and making kindly inquiries), materially lessened the general scare.

It is in contemplation to reduce the price of the " Times " to a penny. Have you seen " Punch'o " bon mot on the Under-Secretary for the Colonies ?

Onslow appointed! nnm 1 Did business go Bo very fast that wo must go Onslow.

" Ouida " is the social " lion " (or ought ono to say " lioncfls ") of tho moment. I met her tho other afternoon at a livo o'clock tea in Portland Place, and was much dis appointed. Mcllo tie la Rameo is a faded outre, elderly woman with what the British matron calls "foreign manners." bhe talked loudly, and, 1 thought, with con siderable affectation, and said nothing either particularly clever or particularly new, though people listened aa if to an inspired prophetess. Airs Wheeler, the erstwhile " professional beauty," is about to join tho ranks of lady dressmakers. Royal patronage cost her husband dear. Captain Luke Wheeler's means wore not equal to tho strain of com mingling with tho "Prince's set" for any lonr<tli of time. He and his pretty wife mado a bravo show for a time, but when His Royal Highness turned his attention towards American " gytirls " their star set. Henco tho dressmaking. M. Eugene Rimme.-tho well-known per fumer of London and Paris, is dead. He was. a cheery, chirpy little man, full of benevolence, and blessed with a disposition as sweet as his' own scent. In hia time Rimmel invented countless perfumes, but pierhaps his gveate-b success was the peculiar " Ylang-ylang," which "all Paris " affected during the Empire. "Ylang ylang is far too strong .nil sensuous for modern " maahordom," which (lot us be thankful for small mercies) affects pungent aromatics in every sense more refreshing. Rimtne. s other triumph was a most delicate and fragrant, but monstrously expensive perfume, christened " The Exquisite." One might as woll pour pearls of gold, as this .cent, upon one's handkerchief; but the effect is perfect, a faint suspicion of hot house gardenia, that is all. The most fashionable scents just now aro Atkinson's " Stcphahotis,' " Gardenia," and " White Rose." Each command a certain salo, especially abroad and in tho colonies, and many Indies,.. I .understand, adhere affectionately to famous manufactures of " Ess. Bouquet " ami " Roiidelerin." Per sonally, I think, if a man mutt uso scent, Shipwright's "I. Zing.ri," 'which is fresh and aromatic, or Lundborg's " Edenia " aro best. The Princo of Wales gavo a groat spurt to the former,'which can only bo ob tained at tho Universities Toilet Club in Coventry-street.

Rimmel was a thoroughly woll educated man, and wrote a number of works both in French and English on the history and manufacture of perfumes; etc. He will be much missed by the Eronch colony in London.

A rorival of Wilkie Collins's "Man'and Wife" is promised at the Haymarkct Theatre, with E- S. Willard in the part of tho brutal athlete Gcoffroy Del'amayne, which Charles Coghlan made his own in the palmy days of tho old Prince of Wales's Theatre in Tottenham Court Road. There must .be many in Australia now who re member the production of "Man and Wife," and tlio discussion it provoked. Mr and Mrs Bancroft, Chan. Gollettc, Hare, Coghlan, and I think Garlotta Addi son wero on bhe original cast.

''Tho Snowball," a funny 3-acb farce belonging to the samo school as "The Great Divorce Case" and "Pink Dominoes," which had a succcs d'e-ilime at the Strand Theatre some years, ago, has, taken the place of "The Lodgers" at, the Globe Theatre pending the production of Charles Haw trey's new play. - .'

~ The exhibition of lion-taming which now forms a principal feature of tho cntertain rnente. at ."Olyinpia" is far the most ex citing I ever saw. An immense cage com posed entirely of* iron bars and containing eight large lions (a lion, a lioness, and six nearly full grown pups) is wheeled into the arena. The lions look round 'growling and snarling. ' Presently thero enters the tamer, Seeth, clad in green coat garnished with gold lace, reaching down' to his waist, and grey fleshings. He bows and walks straight up through.the double door, and is among his beasts in a few seconds. Thoy perform many evolutions, which need not be described, wibhrgreat alacrity and a little growling; only tho lioness resists. When it is all over," a chariot takes the Swedish Daniel round tho ring in triumph. Hi bows^ahd says' "Bcce libmo':" "'"''"-" v, , . The inevitable " Pall Mall " interviewer recently discovered Mr Seeth, and had rather an interesting talk with him aprojws of the Middlesex magistrates having pro tested against tho lion tamer putting his head in the beasts' mouths. Seeth con descended to explain as follows :— " If I put my head in the lion's mouth, I have myliands on his jaws. You see, I only wear a moustache ; a beard or whiskers aro dangerous, because they' tickle tho lion's tongue, and he would resist. As for danger it is ridifculbus. If a man steers a ship he must have been taught to steer; if a lady drives a chariot she has had many lessons ; a man cannot sib a fiery horse if ho has never been across a horse's back before. As ib is with "thorn, so it is with me. You take my pace this ovening, and the audience will have a gory exhibition. This is nob my d6butin the lion's den. lam passionately fond of wild beasts. My father had a menagerie ia Sweden ;, ho be gan to train me when I waa a boy of seven, and we used, to enter bhe cage of beasts together. When I was fifteen I took five lions to Russia on my own account. Now lam twonty-four, and am still alive. My father is .over eighty.. 'Ho is alive, too." So much for daiiffoi'. If I got drunk, then. I might a3 well he dead." .; ■'. .1. " How do you train your lions ?"

"That is my business. I m&y be a bit rough on them at first, but kindness is my recipe. I havo had my present company about a year and a half, and my old lion is ao fond of me that ho -would intorpo.o on my behalf if the other s©von attacked mo. Need I tolfyon that I would enter tho cago at any time without stick or whip, but they ,aro effectivo, liko 'tho pistol. My lioness hates me, bub she fears me too 5 bo what care I for her hate ?"

t " Tigera .or ,hy„nas are quite in your line, of course J" • • v .;.;.,

, J.VCertainly.....Tigers .are the most dangerous of any porforaing animate. But when I am buying them 1 can tell with

certainty whether they will be too dangerous for exhibition. I would, for in stance, go to the Zoo, and in a lew minutes tell you which of tho animals would submit to training. After two or three days' prac tice with new purchases I perform with them."

Mr Seeth smokes and drinks his half bottle of wine Or his glass of lager, but no more. He is so attached to his beasts that I really believe that some-day ho will even make his bed with them. As it is, he is quite willing to breakfast with them, and always reads the papers when they are being cleaned up. ■ If the lions ever do eat Mr Seeth they will have a good meal, but that is none of my business, and the remark won't offend him, for ho does not read English. I call him a Hercules-; a woman would say he was a splendid man ; his lions probably think him a giant. Ho is about twenty-four,- in magnificent condition, with clear eyes and red cheeks, enormous hips and legs, a wondorful chest and arms, and hands that look powerful enough to crack a lion's skull, both covered with honourable scars. Mr Seeth has remarkably high spirits, which nothing affects. He, never dreams of lions' jaws and " ruddygore," and is so indifferent; about finch things that he would go to bed with the lion just as ho gets up with tho lark.

Miss Leonora. Braham (Mrs Barnes), who has for some years been the prima donna of the Savoy Company, was (it now transpires) married some months back to Mr Duncan Young, of the German Reed troupe. The lady is considerably older than her hus band.

How littlo mere age has to do with looks on tho stage may be gathered from tho fact that William Terris, tho most youthful and adorable of Romeos and the boyish naval lieutenant of " Har bour Lights," is much nearer 40 than 30.

The Marquis of Huntley's adventures in India, China, Australia- and New Guinea will bo publshed this week by Chapman and Hall. Tho same firm aro preparing a cheap 2s re-issue of Ralph Trou's " Story of an African Farm," which was very well received when it appeared in threo volumes and has also run through two six shilling editions.

" Yoss," Mr Rider Haggard's stirring story of the Transvaal war,' which has been running in "Cornhill" for some months past, was published at six shillings yesterday by Smith and Elder. Thero are some scenes in it as good as, if not superior to, anything the-author has done, notably tho descrip tion of tho terriblo thunderstorm on tho Veldt, under cover of which tho heroine and her lover escape from tho Boor slmrp shootcVs. Mr Haggard's now novel, it is finally settled, will deal with ancient Egypt at tlie timo of Antony and Cleopatra. Under the title of "Service Allont, Com mander Semmes, who " bossed " tho notorious Alabama during her long nnd des tructive cruise in 1803, has published his diaries kept during tho Confederate War. Tho work is in ono volume, and illustrated.

Mr Baring-Gould repudiates tho author; ship of " Diimor,," which Smith and Elder now announce as tho work of GoorgoGis shig. a well-known writer on the more per plexing problems affecting the lower classes. Mr Gissing's first novel, " Workers in tho Dawn," did not attract ranch attention, and " Tho Unolassed," which followed, and which touched on an awkward social ques tion, though clever, was voted heavy. " Domes " is, of course, a masterpiece in its way, and " Thvrza " (now passing through tho press) will, on dit, sot tho seal on tho author's reputation. None of tho new magazines arc doing well. "Murray's" is voted too heavy, " Soribner's " a colourless imitation of the "Century,' ' and "Tho Hour-Glass" scrappy and generally unsatisfactory.

Church Music.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —My attention has been drawn to a letber which appeared under bins titlo in your issuo last evening signed "C. 11. Lambert." I havo not tho privilege of knowing tho writer, or his or her address. I would, however, say thab though I havo heard tho best of church musio in England, nnd returned to my homo with some increased musical knowledge, yet I am not able to impart anything to tho organist or choir of St. Sepulchre's which would" in any way improve tho playing or singing which is to "bo heard at thab church. Tho most beautiful and elegant service which I have listened to during my '28 years' residence in Auckland,' I heard about two years ago at Sb. Sepulchre's, when both organ and choir- wci'u then, as now, under the control and direction of Mr Rico. Tho chants used on that ocnniuon woro woll selected and most appropriate. Tho chant ing was excellent, and tho recitation and punctuation were, I think, faultless, and I have every ronson or thinking. that tho service 1 then heard formed no ox ccptioii to what may bo heard at that church any Sunday. Aa to tho handling of tho organ, I cannot presume to speak f.rfchcr. I hope the letter lam replying to \vas prompted by feelings of genuine kind ness,-—I am, etc., Edwin Heskkth, St. John's Wood, Epsom, May 13bh, 18S7.
