M. Victor ejour, author of that vety French version of itichard the Drird which made Parisians shudder and English visitors roar with laughter, has illustrated the proverb that "ill-gotten wealth never thrives," by a three-act comedy called E Argent du Diable. The scene is a country village ; the hero is an old miller, (played by M. Deshayes,) who becoming a sharer in certain unholy spoil, is changed from a joyous leader of rural festivities into a gloomy misanthrope.
