THE EVENING STAR
A SHIRT WITHOUT A

The following, descriptive Of a g hop at the
st. Charles. New Orleans, is from John Phoe-
nix:
1T was at once Of these gay reunions that
dear little Miss B, one of the prettiest and
best girls in the world, asked Butterfeld who
stood sreltering in corner, how he enjoyed
himself

&c tendency, and do mainly incline to sleep !"
" You look. said little Miss B, 50 as If
continuation Of these hops would bring you to
your bier"
Amos acknowledged the malt by a cheerful
gufaw, and looking down on his swelling form,
murmured, Larger" and subsided into an
armchair.
Annually at the ST. Charles are given those
grand dress-balls, which have attained Union
wide celebrity, and which are well worth tray
elling over the Union to attend
Three thousand invitations were issued to the
grand ball OF this season. and more crowded
uncomfortable or magnificent spectacle never
expect to witness. The large suit of rooms
were crowded to excess by the most lovely, be-
witehing aud animated crowd that ever were
assembled Dancing was impossible, they
could not do the schottish, there was not room
to pump arms. But it was a glorious specta-
Gle, and so select. 1 observed among the masses
on that gay occasion the curvilinear probOs-
CHS OF well-knOwn Hebrew who supports him
self and contributes to the happiness of man
kind by selling shirts on Canal street. He was
enjoying himself greatly in q full flow of the
finest spirits, when he suddenly " paused in mid
career, blenched, and his face assumed a fine
expression of humility and confusion.
Looking about for the cause of this appear
ance, deserted Butterfeld, gazing upon the
victim with highly virtuOus and indignant
glance " What are you looking at the man
TOR said you don't know him."
Don't ~ said Amos, in a yindictive whis-
per; . but do though. Sells shirts, sir; sold

fox that Esop tells about after he got out of
the trap
- You don't tell me that" said L.
IT'S so, replied Butterfeld; q look here, -
and pulling me into a corner, he drew from the
pocket OF his vest crumbled piece of paper
which thrusting into my hand, he whispered
read that, and disappeared
opened the paper, and with some difficulty
deciphered the following touching and beautiful
