Vhinen ldle at tue xueatie. There was a box party at the National theatre the other afternoon which attracted at-tracted fully as much attention as Herrmann Herr-mann himself. In the box at the right of the stage sat the Chinese minister and the male members of bis suite, aud in the adjoining box were the ladies of the legation. It was the first time the latter have made their appearance at a place of amusement in this country, and their rich gowns and peculiar headdresses were the admiration of all the fair sex at the matinee. To add to the novelty of the occasion, in the boxes opposite were the mcmbera of the Corean embassy, including in-cluding the minister and his wife. The feats of legerdemain were apparently very much appreciated. When a live duck was evolved from a mass of fluffy white paper, the Corean minister and the ladies of the Chinese legation could not remain in their chairs, but rose and followed fol-lowed the movements of the web footed comedian until it disappeared behind the wings.
