CHEvAIIER WIKorF ON New ENTERPRISE
The renowned Chevalier, to whom the public
owes 60 much for bis able management of the
italian Opera in Irving place, and for his won
derful narrative Of MY Courtsbip and its Con-
sequences" is about to deprive New York for
some time of the pleasure and benefit Of his
society. He made his congo on Saturday, ia
the Hermann ; but that steamer, as if repenting
the injury she was ABOUT to infict on the IN
munity, experienced some little internal de.
rangement, which had the effect of protracting
her stay for day or two. She leaves at noon
today, carrying with her the dashing lover,
the successful manager, the brilliant Httfrateur,
and the skilful diplomatist- Chevalier WikoF
Why does the Chevalier leave US just at the
time when bis popularity has become SO de-
cided? That is . question which will be on
departure But there are weighty reasons for
this proceeding. The Chevalier is a practical
philosopher. he recognizes the truth Of the
impulsive reasoning Of Brutus, that
There is tice in the affairs OF men,
Which, tafe at the food, leads on to for .une
He has always acted upon that principle. He
did 60 in bis famous escapode with Miss Gam
bic, and found that the tide only led to dun
geon in Genoa. But be consoled himself for his
failure then by the reflection that there is no
calculating with any certainty on woman. Now,
however he has other motives an ] better fouoda-
tons Of action. His popularity here is great.
His hook has familiarized the reading public
everywhere with his name, acts and satferiags
And more than that, it has brought money
into his purse. He has resuscitated the droop-
ing fortunes of the Academy of Music by his
skilful management, and art recognises him as
her benefactor. He has. therefore, created
strong public interest in his fortunes, and knows
how to avail himself thereof
The Courier des Etats Unis, in noticing his
departure, says
