JU our 1 White Goods Department never has contained so varied an assortment of fabics as at pres 1 agination, for he seeds bat to hear a siagU piece out of a program to jade of entire concert. Alas, too trns sometimes. DRAMATIC XOTK8.

The success of the Buffalo amateur last Satuvdsy evening In "A Favorite of Fortune," is largely doe to tbe element of unexpectedness." The subscribers, not knowing tbe name of many of the amateurs, as actors, not being acquainted with the piece, did not expect much, but they were very agreeably as nearly every one of the east was really good and, in some instances, worthy of blgb praise. There was no dragging, and though the comedy la not funny, nor baa it situations or incidents of interest, by bright treatment it interested everybody. This Is unanimous. Ws are asked, do yon really like Clara Morris?" Six, eight, ten years we would have said, decidedly, yes! Then we considered her wonderfully clever. Her visit here last week, after a lapse of years, baa disappointed us.

She la wreck In looks, voice, sec, and her assumption of youthfulness, with that painful mouth and tbe white paint on ber face, destroys all illusion, and without illusion, what Is ber acting Her pronunciation was always to draw It mild peculiar, bnt be has not changed it in all these yean, as she still says Mur Hurthur for the simple "my mother," and uses tbe old-fashioned ml for my." We might go on, but this is enough. A wrong impression has got about that the members of the Bosina Volkes company were amateurs; not a bit of it, not one of them, except perhaps the one who played Lady Muriel in "The KeheUr-al." They started out to bring a company of amateurs from England but that was given up, and the only prominent bdy amateur who did come, went back to England before they came to Buffalo. They are mostly fine actors from way back." Those t.o bave beard her, highly eitoll Mrs. Richards as a reader and a charming woman. It has become quite the thing to give readings and singings at afternoon gatbei ings of ladies.

It Is quite harmless and sometimes nice. It certainly must be better tban mere idle chatter or At the "Academy here: Janieh, March 22d. three nights; May Blossom," March 25tb, three nights; Haverly's Minstrels, March- 20th, three nights; Mme. Modjeska, April 2st, three nights. It appears that Mme.

Modjeska Intends to play Julia in the Two Gentlemen of Verona." She has been studying the character for a long time, and tbe comedy Is cast among the members of her present company. Chicago theatrical managers are combining to put an end to the lithograph. They estimate that the display of the lithographs Is really a tax on the business without any corresponding return, as few people are Induced to visit performances by the displayed portraits, and tbe number of dead-bead tickets given to shopkeepers and others who stick tbe pictures In their windows cut down the receipts at tho box offices. Keports from Boston state Lydia Thompson Is Lydia Thompson still, and that she has taken ber Boston audience by storm in William Gill's "Oxygen." "How did you like Booth In 'Richard tonlgbtf" "First rate." Great actorf Y-e-s; In bis line Booth does first rate, but did you ever fee Dixey in Adonis?" JPew I i Mrs. Oeorga Laverack, of Delaware avenue, la sntertain ths members of the Castalie, and invited' guests, on Taesday evening.

March Mb. i Mr. and Mrs. Was. H.

rat wick, of Dela ware avenue, entertained friends very delightfully at dinner on Wednesdsy evening. Covers were laid for ten. Mrs. Walter T. Wilson of Delaware Avenue, gave a progressive euchre party on Monday evening.

Tbe prizes were won by: Mrs. J. B. Coakley and Mr. Henry Dwlght, Mr.

George R. Porter of Delaware Avenue, gave a "Skating Rink" theatre party on Wednesdsy evening, followed by a petit temper-t the residence of Mrs. Peter A. Porter. Mrs.

Bainbridge Folwell of Delaware1 Avenue, entertained a groups of women at luncheon, on Wednesday. An oblong parterre of golden jonquils, tied with ribbons of their own hue, occupied the centre of board. Cards were issued this week announcing tbe marriage of Mr. George A. Marr of Rock Island, and Must Cornelia D.

Butler of Buffalo. Mr. and Mrs. Marr will he at home after March 11, at tbe Harper House, Rock Island, 111. The wedding cards of Mr.

Archibald C. Smith of this city, snd Miss Kate C. Raymond of Independence, Iowa, have been received. Tbe wedding took place In Independence, Iowa, on Wednesday, March 3d. Mr.

and Mrs. A. C. Smith will be at borne after April 15tb, at 201 North Pearl street, Buffalo. Tbe cotillon given by the Misses Ramsdell, of Delaware avenue, on Monday evening, tn honor of Mi-n Miller, of Sterling, and Miss Field, of Canandslgus, was a charming success.

Twenty-four couple participated in this most graceful of dances, skillfully led by Mr. William Allen witb Miss Ramsdell. Favor figures predominated, as there were nine of these, the favors consisting of tiny teapots, sachets, ash receivers, broad ribbons exquisitely decorated, and others. There were several special prizes; Miss Field of Canandaigua won a gold lace pin; Mitt Minnie Green, a sliver pin Mr. Clarence Wilson, a pair of cuff buttons formed of old coins; while to Mr.

Underbill fell a dainty scarf pin. The charity ball, although perhaps not as well attended as others in past years, was still a brilliant affair, and thoroughly enjoyable. From a social standpoint It was a success considered, financially, we think tbe showing will be very fair. Few decorations of any kind were attempted the mantel at the end of tbe room was rendered attractive, while in the ladies parlor potted plants were massed and made effective. Supper was served la the cafe from half-past eleven until two and, as in former seasons, the cafe presented one of tbo prettiest possible pictures.

Many cos tumes of tulle were worn, which perishable fabric appears, of all others, to be the most appropriate for such an occasion. Tbe group of amateurs who have leaped suddenly into fame as veritable Favorites of Fortune were very clever in allowing it to be generally understood that little could be expected of the play which they pronounced tedious, and without point or wit. That this opinion was sincere, and not a clever ruse, admits of no doubt but the genuine surprise they gave us added greatly to tbe delight. The audience which expected bo little wa simply fascinated, and knows no bounds to its enthusiasm. Miss Gorham and Miss Sellstedt, Mr.

Sprague and Mr. Peter Cornell, Mr. Manchester and r. Porter Norton all acquited themselves so well that few flaws could be found by even a stern critic. Several of tbe scenes between Miss Gorham and Peter Cornell were simply delicious while even those who.were familiar with Mr.

Sprague's talent as an actor, were astonished by hiB reserve power. We desire to present to the managers of this winter's series of assemblies our con gratulations, for. certainly they have been de lightfully carried out. We are glad to know, also, they bave been self supporting, while last year there was a small deficit. The clos ing one of tbe series of four, took place on Thursday, and was keenly enjoyed a triumph when one remembers what a long season is now waning.

Mrs. William H. Glut wick and Mrs. Edwin T. Evans were the receiving ladies, fairly weighed down by euorruoux u.isegays of Mer-tnet roses.

In spite of the near approach of Lent, most of the belles appeared at their best, and several, new toilets were donned. Among tbe strangers present were: Mrs. Alfred Rus sell, of Detroit; 31ss Currier; MI33 Arm strong, of Cleveland Miss Meredith, of London, Ontario; Miss Maudel, of Detroit; Miss Wilcox, of New Haven, and Miss Field, of Canandaigua. Married, on Tuesday. March 2, by the Rev, S.

R. Fuller, Mr. William Henry Bartlett and Miss Martha Taylor, daughter of the lite Martin Taylor. The wedding, which was charming in its simplicity, took place at home, at 12 o'clock, in the presence of the family and a few of the most Intimate friends. Daylight was Excluded; a mass of palm and potted plants were artistically arranged In the middle window of the large parlor to sim ulate an altar, and there, at the hour appoint ed, a little group of interested witnesses gath ered.

Mr. Alec Johnston, of Cincinnati, was tbe best man. The bride wore a reception dress of ecru silk and golden brown velvet; her flowers, the palest of La France roses. A dainty wedding break fast, served at littlo tables, followed the ceremony. The flowers employed were tullpt of varying hues; the bride's table hav ing for Its crowning-glory one of her wedding gifts, a yellow bowl massed with golden tulips while thOBe.

on tbe other tablet were ted, pink and white. Instead of the usual box of cake the place of each guest was marked by a bonbon basket, tied with rib bons to match the "'tulips, and which when opened was found to contain the cake hidden in lace paper. Among the friends present from other cities were Mrs. Bartlett, of Cin cinnati, the mother of the groom; Mr. Tay lor of Toronto and Miss Thomas and Miss Fer tig of Tltusvtfle, Penn.

In the tif ternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett departed amid the usual shower of rice and slippers for New York. Tbey return the latter part of next week to take possession of their new home, 177 North Pearl street. The after cards, Issued on Thursday, announce that they will be At Home Thursdays in May.

Mrs. George S. Hazard's tpacious recep tion, room was taxed to its utmost capacity Tuesday afternoon, in response to invitations issued last week. To say that Mrs. Charles Waldo Richards gave a number of recitations is to add that she again charmed ber critical audience, and, as one selection followed the other, the pleasure and admiration were shown by rounds of applause.

Several of Mrs. Rlchards's readings have become to great favorites that she is obliged to give them on every occasion. One of her efforts, The from Longfellow's Hiawatha, we think the best of anything so far given Mrs. Richards once had the honor of reciting this in the poet's presence. Coming to her afterwards, Mr.

Longfellow said, witb roguish twinkle, Why, Mrs. Richards, I'm all over goose flesh at the tame time explaining that tbia was the tribute of a rough man who bad once listened to the sorrowful story, and could only thus express bis appre ciation. In March the Buffaionlan does not feel the force of the moan Oh 1 the long and dreary winter." As a complete contrast, Mrs. Richards gsve one of the humor ous sketches of Josiah Allen's wife, she be lng frequently interrupted by outbursts of merriment. Tbe last selection waa one of the best in Mrs.

Richard's repertoire, being one of Mark Twain's absurdities, abounding in negro dialect which is one of this accomplished woman's strong points. In the course of the entertainment, Mrs. Turton tang several times most charmingly, giving very evident pleasure. Mrs. Hazard was assisted in wel coming her guests, by Mrs.

Frank Flake and the Misses Hazard and Fiske. Tulips bloomed upon the piano and mantles, and nodded brightly over tbe five o'clock tea-table about which hovered group of pretty belles. A Chinese Vauderbllt. rail stall axette. The Vanderbilt of China has, just died and been buried.

Not much is known In Europe of his life; less of his death; bat his burial Is reported to have been most picturesque. His nalsee of Hans: Chon was a miracle of luxury, and tn creating banker a provincial judge, and specially authorizing him to wear a yellow jacket, the Emperor of China made him the envy of all bis other subjects. Bat the aiorv of his funeral seems to have surpassed the splendor of his life. The whole dty turned out to see the procession. Nothing In Europe could parallel It- First csroe a mob of eoolies weighed down with lea fiats, on which were written moral sentences and Then followed a procession of lantern-bearers, supported by a band of mewielans with gongs, evmbats and trumpets.

It is bard to conceive anything less funeral.

Clarice: arose anickly. and as she passed us so nearly that her gown brushed oar feet, we caught tbe words Xirai mormorea determined tone. Where would she go The girl was clearly about to take what seemed to her a desperate step.

Let as follow her," said "Why should we?" "We may save ber," said he mysteri ously. 1 suppose tne rencn disposition toward sniclde in cases of disappointment of despondency flitted through the' Scotch New Zeslaoder's mind. Bat the expression in the girl's face suggested no such desperate resolution; Clarice hurried along the Allee de l'Ob- servatoire toward the city. We followed at a distance. She passed through the Jardm da Luxembourg to tbe east of the palace, pausing lor a moment in irons 01 the old Fontaine de Medieis, as though the splashing of tbe water soothed ber.

Once out of the garden she crossed the Rue de Vaugirord, passed the Odern theatre, with Its book 'stalls and blaze of gas light, went down the Rue de l'Odeon, across the Boulevard St. Germain aud Into the Rue de l'Anclenne Comedie. In front of the old Cafe Procope. once re sort of Voltaire And Rousseau, she paused for a moment, startled at some object within which arrested ner attention, men she proceeded on her way. When we came to the Cafe Procope we comprehended ber momentary alarm.

Prony sat Inside, reading Xa Justice, sipping his cafe noir, and smoking a cigarette. Clarice walked quickly down the nar row and not at all pleasant Rue Mazarine. Once a young fellow, merry with wine, accosted her. "McLeod started forward with an angry exclamation, but Clarice hurried away, out to the broad Quo! Mala- quais without noticing the interruption. Crossing the Seine by the Pont du Car-rousal, she sped along the Qual des Tuil-eries so rapidly that we could hardly keep pace witb ner.

Men and women looked at her curiously and shook their heads, as much as to say that the half world was about to receive a new victim; for tbe sweet, innocent, frightened, yet determined jace of Clarice precluded the thought mat sne was accustomed to excursions iiKe the present. On she-sped through tbe Palace de la Concorde, into the avenue Champs Ely- sees. Leaving the aveuue she made her way along the paths among the trees til! she reached the rear of the glittering Savilion of the Concert des Ambassa-eurs. "Ah. I thought so," I remarked.

McLeod made no response. Clarice paused a moment at the entrance for tbe performers. She pressed her hands tightly over ber heart, as it to still Its un wonted throbbing. Then she spoke a moment to the attendant. Then she passed out of sight into the luterior of the pavilion.

day as 1 sat writing at my window I observed that Madame Haehette attend ed to the wants of Pepe, and that her eyes were red uh weeping. The tiirusa bad awakened me with wild cries of Clarice! Clarice!" and it constantly iterated its tearful plaint, goading me to nervous desperation with its disturbing voice. Going to breakfast, wc met Prony In the passage. Evidently he bad heard of Clarice's flight. He was terribly haggard, completely broken in spirit.

McLeod informed him of our pursuit of the previous evening. Prony said he would break the news ot their daughter's wherenbouts to Monsieur and Madame Haehette, but it would be of no use. Clarice would do as she pleased. That afternoon as I sat at my open win dow I witnessed the occurrence of a new catastrophe in the home of the Hochettes. Madame Haehette had unwittingly left the door of Pepe's cage unfastened.

Tiie knowing-fcird had pecked it open aud escaped- Madame's lamentations were not less disturbing thai Pepe's cries for Clar ice nad Deen. McLeod and I haunted the Concert'des Ambassadeurs evening after evening, but saw nothing of Clarice. 1 Possibly she Ola not get an engage ment here and bas applied at another place," suggested McLeod. I fancy she Is merely preparing for her debut," said I. "No manager of a place like this would refuse such a beauty, with such a pretty little voice, and such ravishing dances." Sure enougli about week later it was anounoed with a nourish In the program of the Concert des Ambassadeurs that a new and beautiful star, Mademoiselle Valerie Valoy, would appear the following evening in supero songs ana aanses mar- veilleuse.

Of course Valerie Valoy was Clarice Haehette, and of course MeLeod and I were there to listen nnd applaud. The name of, Valerie Valoy was halfway down the program for her" first song and dance. We waited her appearance impatiently. At last she tripped before the footiignts wttn a spice 01 tne usual abandon of tbe class she uow represented, with tbe addition of natural grace, modesty and the pretty embarrassment In- Separable from a debut. She wos resplend ent in tne scant ana snowy costume 01 tne girl of the cafe chantant.

It was no wonder that her really remarkable beauty, her almost perfect figure, and possibly not least, a pair of tbe prettiest little feet in tbe world, inspired the long continued ap plause that welcomed the debutante. When she had bowed a score of times, and was beginning to look distressed, tbe applause subsided, and she Degan to sing" her own little song of Pepe. It had been transformed from ber rude Improvisation Into a very orettv song, with a taking In strumental accompaniment; and the danc ing-master had developed ner uustuaiea pirouettiDg into a very artistic perform ance in its way. As she concluded toe tirst stanza witn the refrain, "Pepe I Pepe ma dorice tea charmante, to' aimante Pepe," and danced In her wonderful airy way, holding an imaginary Pepe on her finger above ber head, the applause was tremendous. A body of students from tbe Quartier Latin, led by a few wbo, iu some way, had discovered the story of Valerie Valoy, cheered as though they would never cease and tore their bmitonnieres from their coats and showered them on the stage.

What wss that? Above the uproar I fancied I heard a shrill piping of the name of Clarice. Of course It was but a faucy, excited by the song of Pepe. Clarice began the second stanza. She was perfectly free from embarrassment now, and sang with a power and sweetness that were surprising. McLeod looked at me triumphantly.

I bave heard worse than that in the grand opera," he said, Without a false note Clarice reached the refrain. "Pepe Pepe I ma douce, ma charmante, m'aimante Pepe I she sang. As she lifted her finger and looked archly at the imaginary bird perched upon it, a wild scream started the assembly. Clarice," was half whistled, half shrieked in the air over the heads of the spectators. A whirr of wings, an object darting from the darkness among the trees Into the glare ot the footlights, and Pepe, the Pepe of the song, was perched oh the finger of tbe dancer, making the picture complete, and looking, with, such delight as a bird can exhibit, into the eyes of its mistress.

Of course the spectators went wild with enthusiasm, thinking that the- bird's entrance was arranged as a part of the performance; end of course Valerie Valoy suddenly collapsed into Clarice Haehette. She fell in a heap on the stage. A man leaped over the footlights and caught her in bis arms before the manager could reach her, McLeod and I sprang forward, as did many others, and then we saw that it was Prony who was kneeling beside Clarice. 1. She wllrxo with me," said Prony to the master ofceremdnies.

And pray who are you?" demanded the latter angrily. j'The lover of Clarice Haehette and the friend of her parents." Clarice began to give signs of returning consciousness. Pepe bad flown to a projection from the stage arch. 'Pepe! Pepe!" murmured Clarice. Clarice Clarice!" piped Pepe, and flew down at once, notwithstanding, the melee, and nestled on its mistress's bosom, "Ah, that Is yon, Victor," she said, recognizing Prony.

Tea, Clarice, It is Victor. Will yon not permit me to take yon to your father and mother They are heart-broken on account of your flight." "Oh, yes, I wiU go," said Clarice. I win go with yoa and Pepe," fondly careening tbe bird. Bnt your engagement," protested the manager, and with very bad temper, bat well knowing be could not compel the new star to remain. "Such a fiasco will ruin me," be declared.

I am very sorry I eame to yoa)? said Clarice. I regretted my escapade be-, fore it was a dsy old, bat I thought my homesickness wonld wear swsv. Pepe bas woe Pepe and Victor have won, I should say," she added with smile, as she ssw the look of misery 00 Prenyls face. Daring tbe few moments consumed by this colloquy the spectators bad been making a continuous uproar, some hissing, some The biases preponderated aa the curtain was dropped on tbe act of tbe sew star which was not ta the program. Tbe manager explained tbe contretemps in his own way, sad the performance went on.

As McLeod and I walked sway we ssw Victor snd Clarice snd Pepe enter avolt-nre and beard Prony aay to the driver: "Deltas, Kuedu Vol de drace." That was enough. Valerie Valoy was no more, the broken Haehette family was made whole, Prony gained his sweetheart snd all through the dramatic genius of a little bird, which had escaped from Its cage snd happened to be roosting in the A Record or wtutt Going on In 1 1 Society.

Jewstt, of Seventh street, gays a dinasr party oa Wednesday the If ew Haven and Dieppe roate, night train and boat; I happened at London to select an apartment In tne railway carriage in which was a young; medical student from Glasgow.

He was a Scotch Hew Zealand-er, and as colonial citizens have something of tne freedom 01 mnaDltants 01 the states in making acquaintances, a kindred assurance soon brought us into companionable relations, which, lasted throughout his vacation ana my stay 01 several wees in the continental metropolis. He was the more kindly disposed to me. I fancr. be cause of various little attentions bestowed upon him wben be waa overcome by tbe motion of our wretched old tab ot a side-wheeler, which, however, carried ns safely over tbe channel, in a nasty sea, in tbe nsnal five boars. I was still wearing the excellent sea legs which I had procured through much agony daring a March passage from New Y'ork to Southampton, and was therefore quite the best aailor among a lot of passengers who embarked merrily at New iiaven, om aisemoarKea in a condition of extreme melancholy at Dieppe.

Consequently I could devote myself to my Scotch friend without inconvenience, and at the same time minis ter to the vanity estcfted by a consciousness of ray splendid sailing qualities. MacLeod was a genuine student. Like myself, he was not throwing away money for mere style. The bumble quarters which I sought at a little hotel near the St. Honore market, suited him exactly.

After a fortnight there we concluded to take rooms on the left b.mk of the Seine, that we miebt explore that part of tbe city with greater facility. From good Mndonie inet. on tbe Boulevard St. Michel, we secured lodgings, quatriema etage. McLeod took a Iron room which almost overlooked the fountain of the Observatoire, the house being situated opposite the shaded promenade which is all that now remains of tne southern extremity of the Jardin du Luxembourg.

My room was across a narrow passage from that of McLeod, and looked down upon a very pretty garden, such as isat-t ached to most Parisian dwellings of the better class. Though it was still April, the air was balmy, the trees In tbe promenade were putting forth their leaves, and the splash of the fountain bad a vernal sound; while up from my garden came tne odor orvioiets, danoaus and spring roses. It was a pleasing escape from the noisy and odoriferous vicinage of the St. Honore market; and 80 inviting were the rooms and their surroundings that on the first night of our occupation we retired at an hour which was grossly disloyal to the gay reputation of Paris, and especially of the wild Latin Quarter, of which we had become temporary citizens. hen 1 awoke ana looked from my window the sun was just peeping over the roofs of the houses, with tbe dome of tbe Hospital du Val de Grace on the one hand and that of the Pantheon on the other, the one crowning the phapel of a Benedictiue nunnery foanded by Anne of Austria, now long since a military hospital, tbe other a church built over tbe tomb of St.

Genevieve, patron saint of Paris, now a memorial temple in which are monuments of such infields as Voltaire, Kosseau and Hugo, though tbe bodies of the two older philosophers were long ago stolen away by devout churchman and royalists and deposited in a spot which is unknown to this day. Both structures are, however, striking illustrations, such as can be found all over Europe, of the decay of the old theocracy and the establishment of secu lar government. While leaning from my window enjoying the really splendid picture, a piping, music 1 voice cried out: "Clarice! Clarice!" I looked about, but could see no one. A repetition of the call led to the iuterest-iug discovery that it proceeded from a bird in a cage that hung from the rear wiudow of a house which faced the Rue da Val de Grace and extended back till it joined the rear of our own house. The room In which tbe cage hung was on a plane with my own and the windows not more than 20 feet distant from one another.

The feathered little tyrant which so shrilly demanded the attendance of the unknown Clarice was a mocking bird. Visions of disturbed morning naps and post prandial siestas rose before me, and I was silentlv DrooheSviuir that the pleasure of our lodgment at Madame inet's was not to be without its aisagreeaDle alloy, when a lovely apparition, iu a neat morning robe, made its appearance at the window, vivaciously exclaiming: Bon matin! ma douce, ma char- mante, m'dimante Pene! 'Clarice! Clarice!" gurgled the bird softly, cooingly. So then, the oiseait was Pepe, and the demoiselle was Clarice, and they were my nearest neighbors. So intent was the young girl at play with ber pet that she did not see me. She toyed wttn it a moment wuu ner nnger through the bars of the cage and then opened the door.

The bird flew forth, nestled on her bosom, and laid the side of his head against her rosy lips for a kiss. She held out her hand and tbe bird perched upon it. She threw it from her and it new witn a joyous song aDout tne garden. After a little she called It: "Pepe! Pepe!" in a voice hardly less musical than that of the bird itself; arid the loyal little serf fluttered back at. once, nestled again on Us mistress bosom, and put up its cheek lor a kiss.

Just then McLeod knocked, and as I ad mitted him I said: 11 If you will be very cautious aud not frighten ttM will show you a beautiful bird outside my window." I led him softly to a place where he could sec Clarice's window without him self attracting attention. "By Jove! "be exclaimed, with such emphasis that the bird peered curiously with one eye iu our direction, though the mistress heard nothing, but continued her caresses. Permit me to Introduce you to Made moiselle Clarice and her bird, Pepe," said I. with mock formality. Have you learned all that so soon he asked.

And we came here but yester day. 'Pon my word you are eminently successful for one of your venerable age and marital experience." sh, she is singing." Clarice had taken the blrd-on her finger, and, holding it above her head, and look ing up at it with coquettish glances, she pirouetted about the room, now passing tbe window and now invisible, trolling an Improvised little song of the mutual love of berself and Pepe, To which ma douce, ma charmante. m'aimante Pepe," the words of her first greeting, formed the re frain. How airily she dances," said McLeod, catching his breath. McLeod was certain ly a verv impressible youth.

She is probably a graduate from the Jardin Bullier," I responded wickedly. McLeod looke.d at me with scornful eve. "That innocent, lovely girl an habitue of the he exclaimed, "just as though he had not seen faces at the Bul- lier which were quite as innocent as hers, it not so m-ettv. The Bullier was a notorious dance house only a few doors distant, where the students of the Quartier Latin held their wildest revels two or three times a week, 1 What a voic.e," again exclaimed McLeod. She would make her forttiue on the stage." i Of a cafe chantant perhaps, but not at the rand opera bouse." You are positively insufferable," said McLeod.

There was a knock at our door and Madame Vinet's garcon announced that coffee was wailing in Mcl.eod's room, i Clement, who Is the young lady who bas the mocking bird over the way?" asked McLeod. i She is Mademoiselle Clarice Hachettc, monsler, and that is all I know. Ask Mon ster Prooy abont her. He can tell you everything," said Clement with a roguish expression. i "And who is Monsier Prony Clement "Tour next neighbor, monsieur; a student at the university." I I remained in my room writing all that day, leaving McLeod to his.

own devices. Clarice frequently appeared at the win dow in answer to requests from Pepe. Toward evening McLeod came in. I "I have met Pronv." said he. "Pass ing him on the stairs, I ventured to inquire of him in regard to a modest and convenient cafe where I might breakfast, and he politely invited ne to accompany him to the Cafe Rousseau.

We breakfasted together. He is a nice fellow, and speaks a little English, which helps me amazingly when my French fails me. When I asked him about Clarice he blushed. He is clear ly in love with ber. She is the daughter ot a small snop keeper, in tne itae aa val de Grace; who, with his wife and Clarice, occupy the apartments on the floor where yon saw the girl, No.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

flAsaln IkrQttl 1 Note. AKTOSIITS lieadlnK lately that another Stradlvarus violin bad been picked op In Paris and that the lucky buyer secured bis bargain for S30, and sold it a week afterwards for $4,500, leads us to rrctte that tbe renown of this remarkably maker of violins Is beyond that of all others; bis praise baa been sung alike by poet, artist, and musician. His magic name is ever rising to tbe Hps In tbe presence of the king of Instruments," and is as familiar to tbe bumble player as to tbe finished artist. He has received tbe undisputed homage of two centuries, and time but adds to tbe number and devotion of bis subjects; and be seems as little likely to be dethroned today as Sbaks. peare.

Although many -Interesting particulars concerning Antonius Stradlvarius have been given from time to time, there Is wanting that which alone can fully satisfy bis admirers, viz connected records of the cbiof events of bis life. He was born A. D. 1644, In Cremona, and died December, ITS'. He purchased a family grave In tbe Cburcb of 8t.

Vomenlco, in tbe year 1729; but In the certiorates from tbe Cathedral of Cremona it Is stated that be was burled In tbe tomb of Francesco Vllanl, no mention being made of St. Domenlco. The exact words are: Buried In tbe Chapel of the liosary in tbe parish of St. Matthew." He bad four children, three sons: Francisco, Otaobotto, and Paola, sod daughter named Catarina. By Industry and strict economy be accumulated more than a competency, for tbe Inhabitants of Cremona were acutomed to say: As rich as Strad-lvarius!" His first lessons In the irt of violin making were taken from Nicholas Amatl.

In 1C08 be left Amatl's workshop. Up to this point bis work was In accordance with the plans of bis teacher; this be continued until 1080. From this period until Hi84 there was a variation In the model of bis instruments. From 1700 to 1737 Is known as the golden period in the life of this great maealro, ami In those years so full of experience and ilpe judgment, were produced the finest violins the world has ever Keen. In 1714, tbo Dolphlu wus mude.

In this Instrument the besuty of the wnoil unsurpassed In any violin either ancient or It was. named tbe Io)phln from the richness and' variety of tbe tints It ives to tbe varnish. The muilei Id perfection Its solidity of construction ant glorious varnish all teud to make It matchless. We have persons coming here every day with so-railed Stradlvarius violins." said a maker of violins In the Bowery. They are common German violins with a copy of the Stradlvarius label printed or pasted on the Inside.

Pretty much every violin, no matter by whom it Is made, haB some such label, so that labels nowadays do not count for anything. Inexperienced persons may be fooled by them, hut-any one who knows anything about violins pays no attention to them. I suppose makers put the'label in because some people like to pretend tbey have a valuable violin. A Stradlvarius is worth anywhere from Jli.OOO to $15,000, and tbey are not very plenty. They can be told by their shape and by tbe kind of varnish on them.

It is unsafe to pay a big price for a violin until it it passed upon by experts. I have knows a lubel to be taiccn off a genuine Stradlvarius and inserted In an Imitation one, for the reason that ore could be sold on Its mer. its, while tbe other needed the label."

An unusual degree of religious fraternity nd tolerance was reached In some recent re- ival services at Denver, when one of the clergymen announced that if any of the con verts thought they could serve God better by joining the Roman Catholic Church he would give their names to tbe priest. The CongretjatioitaUst reports that the pre- aillng sentiment at the Boston Ministers' meeting, both among Congregationallsts and Free Baptists, was cordially favorably to, at tbe least, the careful consideration practically of the advisability of uniting the two bodies. If tbou turn away thy foot from- tbe Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call tbe Sabbutb a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own wordB; then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord.

Isa. 58:13. Toabldein Christ is tbe secret of persever ance In well doing. Work, once taken up earnestly and entered upon with hopes, which xperlenco sbirsvs to bave been too by degrees upon tbe taste, becomes irk some, and at fast is dieconttnued. So It will be, so It must be, where it 1b either taken up from lower motives, or where we do not habitually realize that it Is God's work we are doing.

Rev. Dr. Pigou You may look," Bald Professor Swing In bis twentieth anniversary sermon, into any form of the prevailing Christianity, Unlver- alist, Unitarian, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and you will perceive at once a desire to bene fit society through the simple life and teach ings of Jesus Christ. That life and teaching are Been as Instantly applicable to the betterment of mankind, and the pulpit of any name which is Mmply destructive or which it wedded to tbe past Is alike out of harmony." There Is evidence all around that tbe talk about union between Christian bodies that are separated by no vital doctrine it only the outward expression of a deep, longing thought of the beet Christian hearts. Those who deprecate organic union are only held in tbe old conventional bondage.

When the true Christian heart is ripe for union these apprehensions will melt away at once. Let us fix our thoughts on the one great reproachful fact of Protestantism that It is shivered into multitude of fragments, for which the excuse grows poorer and poorer every day. At we grow more Christian, and less demoninatlonal, union will inevitably come. New Hampshire Journal. FLORIDA JONES Whose Love-Scrapes Make Him Ridiculous.

Carp Wash. cor. of Cleveland Leader. The commands of cupld are stronger than those of tbe United States senate. Senator Jones, of Florida, under the.

rule of the fickle little god, still remains at Detroit, while his brother senators and tbe leading citizens of his state write to him In vain. He is deeplv in love, but alas, his love is Clothilda Palms, tbe brunette prospective heiress of some $8,000,000, does not care to arry a United States senator, and she snubs him at every point. Jones bad been told that his attentions are offensive, but, like Kicg Richard he Is trying to bulldoze the young lady Into tbe acceptance of his band. He will fail. Whon he does so he may despair rush Into tbe arms of another.

Miss Palms Is by 110 meant the only love he hag bad within the past two years. He has been attracted to numerous fair ones in Washington since bis first wife's death, and from his seat tn the senate chamber his eyes have roamed the galleries noting eveay pretty face, whether it came from the -ttreen mountains of Vermont or the warm sands of Southern California. Senator Jones would not be a badmatcb, and match-making mothers should be on the avi vive for him when he gets over his present Infatuation. He Is only fifty-two years old, and has the health 11 a young satyr, uliy six feet tall, ne ttands UDrisht in his boots, and bis two nun- dred'pounds of fair skinned flesh Is rounded out as evenly as tbe marble linfbs of the Apollo Belvidere. Senator Jones is sn Irishman, and his complexion is ss fair and rosy ss that of tbe girls of the Emerald Isle.

He has a regular face, bright Blue eyes, and sports neither whiskers nor mustache to tickle the nostrllrot his amorous betrothed. His forehead is high and broad, and his brain, outside of iove to be strong and healthy. He dresses well, and Is not unpopular. Senator Jones is a self-made man. He came to the United States when he was a boy of ten, and began life at the carpen ters oencn.

rv one working at ms iraae ne studied law, and waa admitted to the bar wben Buchanan was president. He is now serving his second term in the United States senate, ana is eonsiaerea one oz toe nnest constitutional lawyers there. He hss a remarkable memory, has children, and his circumstances are moderately good. Mrs. Grundy's Sbarp Sayings.
