Through the kmc hoars of the day aba answered the call-bell promptly at tbe beginning of each quarter, and pluekily trudged the weary rounds.

All day the treat entrance to the garden and -the bar were closed, but through a side door a aever-caaslng stream of visitors poured ia and out front early morning until morning again, and at any hour of the day or night the spectators of the walk could be counted by hundreds, and during the afternoon and evening by thousands. Among these spectators, shortly after noon, were several, if not more, who, by their conversation, bad evidently Just come from listening to the harangue of Mr. Talmage. Brooklyn has become very much interested in Mme. Anderson, and her enthusiast te admirers watch her by aa well as ny day.

Yesterday morning at 4 o'clock 54H spectators were in the hall, and of theee a dozen or ao were women. A few nights ago. one lady, who had made a small wager that the Madame did not walk all night, entered the ball at o'clock In the evening, and did not leave Tint 11 f. o'cloek the next morning when the took her departure, fully satisfied that during that night, at least, tbe walking had been faithfully performed each Quarter of an hour.

It being deemed belt to havr one of her Immediate friends or attendants with her most of the time, but when they do receive permission. and take advantage of it, the spectators csn hardly be blamed for mentioning caxv-walks.

so very self-conscious are tbe amateurs. They generally hold themselves very straight, talk with, or rather at. tbe Madame all the time, and make the most extraordinary efforts to appear unembarrassed, and to imitate the style of their companion. Tbey are frequently cheered by the amused spectators, and last evening one big Lugllsh-man, who had rosde himself unaualiy conspicuous, was presented with a as he left the track. Mme.

Tun interior is very simple, and it bounded on two aides by rough boarding, on third by the outer brick wall of tbe building. and on tbe fourth by a red curtain hung on a sagging card.

Both told him that some person bad leea trying to Mt tire to tbe louse, and both were sure tbat the person was still in the houte. The Io-tor went with them to tbe place where the fire had been found, tn the middle of the stairway aaeending from the second to tbe third floor. Several pieces of very dry willow-wood, well saturated with kerosene, were lying smoldering. Edward aaid that as he went ap stairs be aaw trie wood burning brightly and put out tbe flames, lie was astounded at tbe discovery, and considered it very fortunate that tie went home as late as be did. The housekeeper had no excuse to offer for being up and dressed at that time of night- Ir.

Ermentraut at an early hour in the morarng went to tbe family butcher's. She there met Mr. Hassey housekeeper. The latter carried a basset which attracted Mrs. Ermentraut's attention.

It waa much broken and smashed in on one side, and there was a hole made by the large and thick Iillii ee of willow having been rut out.
