Austrian Censorship.
The Austrian censor used to play
strange tricks with the plays produced
under his auspices. When Schillers
“Maid of Orleans’* was produced at
Vienna, in 1802. the title was deemed
too flippant and was replaced by that
of “Joan of Arc.” Agnes Sorel figured
as the wife of Charles VII,. and Queen
Ysabeau was transformed into that
monarch's sister in order to save him
from bigamy. Until 1842 mesalliances
were prohibited on the Vienna stage.
When the burgtheater wished to stage
one of Freytag’s plays in which Count
Walderaar marries a gardener’s daugh
ter. the censor put his foot down.
“These incidents” he said. ”may un
fortunately occur in real life, blit they
roust not be seen on the stage.”
Library of the House o* Lords.
The books in the library of the house
of lords number about 00,000 volumes,
and they are set out in a luxurious suit
of rooms. The library is particularly
rich in historical works and memoirs
and includes one of the finest collec
tions of law books in London.—London
Telegraph.
Tact.
It Is well to admit occasionally to
your friend that he knows more than
you do It plves him a preat impres
sion of your discrimination and pood
sense.—New Orleans Picayune.
Virtuous For Your Own Sake.
I would be virtuous for my own
sake, thouph nobody were to know
it, as I would be clean for my own
sake, though nobody were to see me.—
Shaftesbury.
