A very significant scene occurred in Paris at the Porte
Martin Theatre on Tuesday. Madlle. Silly was imitating Madlle. Schneider, when some. one in the stalls ventured to hiss. The audience in a rage called for his expulsion, and expelled he was by gendarmes, who carried him bodily out, kicking and struggling. The audience watching this, thought him oppressed, remembered that he had a right to hiss, and in a transport of the true French fury, the fury which means mischief, demanded his return. In vain did the manager- supplicate ; have him back they would, or they would attack the• theatre ; and the police were at last, for fear of a serious riot, compelled to restore their prisoner to his seat. This is not the- only occasion on which Parisian hostility to the police has recently broken out.
