Ihe tale of love is never told in vain, and she act of sacrifice of a lost woman is noble one: greater love bath no Msgdalen than this, that site lay down her love for ber friend. The tale has pailed upon the current belief ass fact, but art has inane it into another reality, like the "Don Juan" of Mozart, a hideous fellow, yet redeemed by music It did look absurd to see Armand, son of good people, living idly with this female, who had made the sacrifice of all her trade besides, to supply the selfish passion and jealousy of this one man. He Lad not the sacrifice to marry her.

Putting ability at tbe lop of every thing, virtue included, tbe zest for art among tbe French becomes frantic, hara was a scholar at the Dramatic Academy, the conservatory of acting, which is a part of the French Government itself, the developed so well that she was ased to sustain the national drama at ths Theater Fraucaise. where a subsidy ny the blate keeps the great plays alive. There she drew audiences and relieved the theater of its unprofitableness.

When she resolved to become a star snd leave that theater tney accused her of a mercenary heart and ingratitude, but she obeyed the law of Paris, even as M. Wilson, the President's soa-in-lsw, sold his wife's father's fsvor in the market place. We like Bernhardt because she is an artist. The theater finally filled tip: a noisy clacque. made of men who had rosined their palms to smack them like a pair of shingles, was allowed to do most of tlie applauding, and not many shed tears: but once or twice I lost myself in this large, lean, fifty-yeared woman playing the child-like "Camille:" xhe was one of us.

a sufl'srer: the woe upon her throat choked me a little, and what an ecstacy people not made bard are the tears of pity. The hard-stamped clay of man for a moment runs like a well with its tiny bucket of dripping water. The voice that called our better nature forth, the act which made the huckstering place and time pathetic, we felt to be blessed, and forgave all that news and scandal said of the woman. oryx bach. Paris Is itself a theater, and all career Is acting here.

Whoever emerges from the multitude by beanty or science, art or fertility, becomes the public captive. The very churches here are crowded witu statues of tbe saints, as if goodness was hungry for some cstlehration. In a uniet hour I went alone last week to see Otleubach's "Orpheus in Hell." a favorite subject with all the composers from tiluck down. Offenbach was tbe favorite when I was here tweaty-hve years ago. In those days 1 often saw old Kossini listening to music in the Tuileries garden and remember looking at the funeral cortege of Meyerbeer.

If I mistake not, Offenbach, Meyerbeer and Burkharat all attach to the Hebrew race. The F.den Theater is a groat, large, grandly painted, rather rubbed and soiled place, near the Orand Opera and Grand Hotel. It is like tne largest of our American theaters, which are the best buildings in the world for their purpose. The Eden Theater is said tobealwavs in debt and never bringing its price at auction. I had a good orchestra seat for 40.

and saw what I thought was the perfection of this kind of opera and ballet. They have a school of the ballet here, and their chorus people are cleanly limbed, picked from a host of applicants, and often of beautiful faces. In America they are mainly German girls, heavy and beefy. The talent of Otienbach was only Qualified by his frequency. He wrote so much that he disparaged in supercilious minds the sweetness of himself.

He reached into the thirsty, chanceful heart nf Paris ard told it 1.001 Arabian tales on as many nights, and to hear the rest Paris spared his life till it was found he was old and repeating himself, and then the cry arose of "The Dowstritig for him! Stop bis prattle!" What a mournful, mellow note is that soandnd in hell by the. buffoon with the dust-brush. ben I Was Monarch in Arcadiar Here it was sung auhurh af Paris. Mo. upon Paris and its wanton moods tbe soul at a Mozart was wasted; yet what would not Mozart have given for Onen bach's audience and prizesT Fame seems to demand that its votary be kept poor, like Strssburg geese stewed for Kings dinners.

Offenbach is all dead, the favorite of civilization. Hut the ballet, the life and grace and beanty of it. as in Pluto's realm tnc sun arose, niaow a picture irvsisr than the blessing of music. We saw ths great clock of time swung by the haif hour in she hands of a livina woman, nude in mid in tbe hands of a living woman, nude in niid- air, the pendulum held by her fingers, tbe sides of the clock ornamented with living statues of beauty. As time swings solemnly on the spirits night dance the honrs away, dark-vestured svirits succeeded by grayer ones, till ths clock bursts and day walks forth and Aurora reigns.

Two Old Enemies Meat Xsar the Passaic susat tho Weaker Succumbs. Nsw York Sua. Kingfishers are rather common along tho wooded banks of the Passaic River from the outskirts of Newark to the bridge at Avon-dale. The better kinds of fish bavs forsaken the lower waters of the Passaic or havo been poisoned by them long ago, but plenty of eels, roacb. sunfish and "killies" remain, aud the kingfishers fare sumptuously every day.

They are aggressive birds, and even the hawk does not care to risk a battle with one of them. Snipe, too. though very scarce now, occasionally flit up the river. The king fisher has an incorrigible hatred of the snipe. the snipe's aversion to the kingfisher is equally pronounced.

On Wednesday afternoon some young men who were bathing iu the Paasuic, opposite the upper part of Belleville, saw a snipe wingiux its way up the river. It wss not in a hurry, and it was taking the usua. zig-rag course familiar to every sportsman. While the bathers were watching the snipe a kingfisher darted swiftly from a mossy bank close by, and started in pursuit of the snipe.

The Pretty Boost Agent's Ways. York Letter to Philadelphia Times) I was an unobserved observer a few days ago of a well-known book agent's methods aa they were plied in ths down-town office of wealthy New York lawyer. This agent is an exceedingly pretty woman of about 35. I imagine. Her face is singularly beautiful and her figure would delight the soul of an artist.

She is what is truly called "fetching." and her descent upon a male victim rueaus success almost every time. In this instance she srdd her unwilling purchaser an encyclopedic set of tirj. Hie calls only upon men and cleverly receives all the attentions which are continually paid her. She is married, but never goes to any pains to tell the fact. If by accepting a theater in vitation she thinks she can make a sale of moment she partakes.

She is an upright woman in every respect, a model wife and a devoted mother, but she nd ratarida men thnr. oughty. This knowledge means from IXOuOto 17.000 a year to hsr. and what is not needed for family expenses is added to a bank ac count which has already reached five figure. 1 have watched this woman upon several occasions, snd have seen her transform the coldest man into an almost adtnirtng slave.

Not long ago 1 saw her in the high-priced seats of a theater in company with a well-known broker. Two days after 1 saw an order from her on the books of a large publishing house showing a sale of several nuadred dollars to her Wall-street escort. She dresses plainly and richly, wears oo jewelry, but knows to a dot what sort of a gown ill show oil her fix ure to the best advantage and what kind of a bonnet most becomes her.

Nxw Yoke. July 0. 1888. Whils ordering soma dresses in oas of those establishments where the latest styles are wrought ont witboat the highest desrroe of cost. or.

in other words, whore yon can sat your full money's worth of the newest fashions. I saw soma garments in process of con struction which excited my curiosity, alert as I always sin for costume novelties to write about. This gown was made of the softest white, lutterless material, and when it was put onby one of tbe employes, at my re quest, it looked exactly as I bave shown it in tbe picture. The bodice and skirt were not remarkable, and there were no sleeves at all. the shapely arms of the wearer being ex posed full length.

All this might have been seen in a ball dress. But there was am xxtba tiiihu. A sort of mob csp was adjusted on the bead and from it depended an abundant veil of gauze, something like a bridal veil except for its manner of adjustment. Around the right wrist was a bracelet, and to this the gsuze drapery was attached. ''It is for an actress.

1 suppose?" I said. "I guess you are right in yonr surmise, was the reply, "but I have cot been able to find out definitely for myself. The woman who ordered this garment and two others of a similar character was a middle-aged woman. aDd when I asked her if they were for st like use she replied rather evasively. She brought a handsome young woman for them to be fitted to.

and 1 tried to find out. by seemingly casual questions, whether this one was an actress, but I wasn't able to gratify my curiosity." I was then only able to learn, therefore, that the peculiar robes were to be sent to 135 West Thirty-seventh street. It was not until several days later, and then partly by acci dent, lhal I ascertained the house at that location to bfl the residence of a Spirit ualistic medium, who gives materialization seances. I at once concluded that the robes were to be worn by THB SrPPOSXD SPOOKS. In the sketches that I have made the gowns are shown, not Only as 1 drew- them while they were in the possession of the manufacturer, but.

also, in the last two instances, as I dimly saw them in use one evening this week. To describe the seances would be to apat substantially what bas been many tstsviors printed regarding such exhibitions. TP" was a darkened room, a semi- CiTc of bsnd-claping spectators, a pre- sniBobiy fastened medium in a cabinet, and Bo emergence of a variety of alleged ghosts These could be only dimly seen, but I was readily able to recognize the three dresses which I have depicted. Not only may the reader find interest in them on account of tbe Spiritualistic purpose which they served, but also in studying them as excellent examples of artistic draperies.

But the neau-st imitation of a girl by a man that ever 1 saw was when Jimmy rowers, the comedian, appeared at the Actors' Athletic Club benefit as Nadjy. the ballet girl of th comic pera. He wore the black costume tbat had inclosed Marie Jausan hundreds of times for the same character a short, fluffy skirt of black, with stockings of jet.

and his plumy arms and shoulders glistened smoothly nude and white. Just as Marie's had done. The likeness was so exact that hundreds of opera-glasses were instantly leveled at the counterfeit entrancer. and through them his face gavs his snap away. HX WASa'T PBgTTT.

July 13. The reply of the Swiss Bundesrsth was received at the Foreign Office yesterday evening. Though civil in tone, it is none the lets defiant. It does sot recede step from the position previously taken by Switzerland, and is throughout a vindication of the rinhts of refugees and of Swiss action toward German police agents. The note persist that the arrest and expulsion of Wohlgemuth were fully Justified, snd says: "The Bundesratb must further adhere to its interpretation of article 2 of the settlement treaty of 1876.

which in nowise restricts the right of the two Governments to receive in their respectivs territories any one they deem fit. The Bundesrsth must insist all the more upon its rights being respected, as it is determined to fulfill its international obligations." The tenor of the reply was communicated to the German Minister, at Berne, early in tbe week. Tbe communication was the signal for the adoption of stringent measures for the scrutiny of travelers crossing tba Swiss frontier, baggase being mercilessly overhsuled snd goods wantonly searched and delayed. To-day's Rational' Zeltnns denied that these regulations sre reprisals, and declares that they are due to directions from tbe Imperial Custom Officials, uninfluenced by the Government. Tbe Swiss Cantonal authorities, believing otherwise, direct travelers to proceed through Austrian Territory via Bregenz.

The attitude ef the Swiss Government is probably strengthened by the knowledge teat Priqce Bismarck's menaces to Swiss neutrality occasion The Emperor was not consulted concerning the dispatches. His Majesty bas advised Prince Bismarck to modify his tone, and thus avoid aggravating tbe difficulty. Asa result the semi-official Eapers are moderate in their expressions of ostility toward Switzerland. The North German Gszetle to-night, commenting on the situation, contains no suggestion assailing Swiss neutrality, nor even a denunciation of the "Settlement" treaty. The Gazette explains tbat the dispatch of June 5 was the ontceme of an understanding with Russia, aud proceeds to show tbat its object was.

Mr. Probst rolled up his sleeves a little from the cuffs and attacked the subject of the discourse, HIS TEXT Was th sentence ia Paul's first letter to th Church ia Corinth: "So fight 1. not as on beating tbe air."

And take the chance of having yonr jawbone knocked out of recognition. But did you ever hear of prize fighters failing to come to time? These men will come to time in the morning just as the Brooklyn champion a few weeks ago showed up fresh after losing one side of his face. "The eyes of the world are on those men," said Mr.

Brobst. "and they will face each other. Take another lesson from their courage, Chsistians! "Look at tba toughness of these two man. They ars no dslicate fellows. Tbey are net to be scared by a fire-cracker.

They sre not to be paralyzed by a scratch. They stand up as tbat man in Brooklyn did and take ox-felling blows. What contempt these men in tbeir toughness hare for surfering! Tske another lesson. Christians! We are called on to suffer. Learn how to do it from these pugilists!" Mr.

Brobst made a rush at tbe pulpit, grappled with an eloquent peroration, and pronounced the benediction over an audience which would bave barked him on the spot against any feather-weight in the ministry.
