The Days a. KembIes
On d bet jane evening ID the year 1884, Kemhle
closed his professional campaign in the United States
BY PLAYING for bis own benefit, Miss Fanny Kemble
playing % him t0 an auditory worth little short Of
81 500. assembled in the old Park theater, New
York The jam was tremendous, and the heat suffo-
eating, 90 much 90 that notwithstanding the attract
ions Of the stage many had to forego them for those
Of tile fresh air. The bill vas vouminous, comprs-
ing Nahob for an Hour The Stranger" and

Of the theater, when the "Sehool for scandaln and
g Jack Downing were produced in a style which
may be imagined, but the receipts were only $3.50

A Fall EIetrop0IItaa Development
OF restitution and vice has not Jet been attained
in the progress Of New Orleans she cannot yet fur
nish such startling items 81 human depravity aud
misery a. emanate from tue larger Of the ssterhood
Of cities bat the indcations are that the passage Of
time will bring her to an equality in these matters.
There are few beggars and few examples OF helpless
and uuhelped destuton, but there is even now room
for an admirable Institution similar to one which has
been established in New York, with special view to
the ameliorat0n Of tie condition Of little boys WHO
earn their living BY vending newspapers and small
wares But who do not earn enough OF have not sense
enough 70 secure to themselves home 1t is lodg-
ing house where they can pass the night without
charge aud thus avoid the comfoTtless necessity of
picking up sleep ia ailey-ways markets, dry goods
boxes aud other retreats where the article is to be
had by retail in eat.napsa house adapted to
such benevolent purpose could be supported at very
small expense, and ts establishment would be an act
Of real philanthropy The returns Of one Of these
houses iii New York showed that the actual cost Of
lodging To each Of the little homeless applicants had
been only about eight cents per night and for this
sum they were comfortably housed and hedded. To
be sure, the plan il only sort Of compromise with
vagranoy, but even at that it may be, tits better done
than undone,
Opera in New York,
We must ALLOW that they are doing opera in New
York on rather grand scale, for Don Giovanni, =
with the Piccoiomini az its leading attraction was
brought out at the Academy with chorus Of four
hundred voices whose combined volume quite deaf
ened the people who came there to hear, and endan
gered the safety Of the building aud window glass
ali Gotham continues in hubbub, Of course.
Pamslonizod Americans.
We see it stated that nearly five thousand Ameri-
cans are permanent residents of the city OF Paris,
while about the same number Of travelling Ameri-
cans, students Of tie professions and the fine arts
are generally there, temporarily sojourning or III
traasitu. The question naturally suggests itself
what are those Eve thousand permanent American
residents doing there and persons may imagine
reply for themselves It is probable that they will
imagine that the majority of these residents Is com
prised in three elasses first, those for whom their
own country was not good enough, and who have ex-
changed It for one they esteem better second,
those who were not good enough for their own coun,
try "who left their country for their country good
third those who went there and are there because Of
business who are the agencies Of the transmission of
the fashions in dress goods and other less important
