A TREAT WHICH WAS EsJeYED.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Nation tells the following
story:
AS for the children, SO IETTy 0f NisTlrl figure in
the fairy bal!ets which bring such ample haryests
10 the managerial pocket; they get a few sous
only for each nights work; the advantages they
receive in the way of training and familiarity with
the work Of the stage insuring an abundance of
candidates for admission to the troupe even at
the miserable pittance which is all that they re-
ceive in the way of salary. 1t seems that these
poor children are sometimes made, nevertheless,
a little unhappy by their poverty, and little en-
vious OF the superior appointments of the other
actors. Thus on one of the hroiling evenings
that preceded the sudden cold which has so thor
oughly spoiled the present month, these little peo-
pie were seized with violent desire to give them
| selves some ice cream.
Having put their heads together during one of
| the interlndes, they determined to make general
/ subscription among themselves for the purchase
| of the desired dainty but, alas! the pockets of
| the whole twenty-five, when emptfed into the
hands of one of the band, only contributed the
sum of one franc, the price of a single ice in the
| refreshment room in the lobby. However, armed
with this franc, of the little girls went off to
the refreshment room, and demanded of the
young Lady" who keeps the table, tone ice
| and TWENTY-FIVE spoons.m The young LADY,
i professed her perfect readiness to sell the ice de-
manded, but utterly refused TO allow the other
part of the demand, alleging that only one spoon
| ceuld be allowed to each ice. The poor little
turner of pirouettes was just going away empty
handed in the extremity Of disappointment, when
| a gentleman, who had Glanced to oyerhear the
demand and the refusal, came forward and, hand
ing two-anatwenty francs to the dispenser of the
frigid deicacy ordered two-and- twenty ices, each
with its spoon, to be placed on tray and carried
to the dressing.room of the little dancers, whose
amazement and delight at seeing such glorious
and unloeked-for realization Of their desire may
be " more easily imagined than described

MAKING A GALLERY OF ANCEsToRs.-It is re-
lated in Re8grave's Century of Painters of the
English School," that large business is dome in
England IN collecting portraits of ancestors for
American customers. We quote the passage:
g An American agent recently in London ex.
planned his business to be to collect ancestors,
and that he had been very successful. He said
he had picked up many good portraits, and that
with proper attention to costume and age, anc
suitable husbands ard wives for two or three gen
eratinns, and had exported several very we'll
assorted families, which, being provided v ith full
credentials, were most tfliany adopted and tina
he was continuing his highly remuneratVe re
searches. This rs no fiction"
These are cheerful statements for American
with n pedigree.

Fires.

A fire occurred last night at No. 16 Orleans
street, in the Second District at about 6I o'clock,
but which was extnguished without damage.
The building which was threatened with flames
was three stories high. Upon roof between the
slate and the wood of this an infamabe ball from
a Roman candle lodged. The candle was fired of
by some children in the street below. The wood
work of this window was burned, and the flames
would have soon been serious had not the arrival
of the engines in moment ended the matter.
About eleven o'clock last night, fire broke out
in the tailoring establishment Of j. Kluchmann, on
Rampart street, near Girod, in one of a row of two
story brick tenements. Mr.. Kluchmanns goods
and furniture were nearly all lost Mrs. Towels,
occupying millinery establishment adjoining
also suffered heavily. S. Wells stock of dry
goods, next door, the other side, was almost a
total loss, and his fu niture was entirely consumed
He was partially insured. 7. Caspar's dry
goods establishment, on the corner, was also
damaged.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE WITH THE RADTCALs.-A
distinguished citizen of Louisiana, who has just
returned from visit to Washington, where he
had been urging the passage of an appropriation,
to save his State from overflow By rebuilding the
leVces, found it necessary, while there, to court
admittance to the rulers of the day and more
especially, to the king OF the Senate, the Hon.
Chas. Sumner. In the interviews our distinguished
friend had with the triumVir, and in which this
high parsonage displayed, or rather affected the
courtly manners of an autocrat seeking to make
his rank forgotten by the assumed p0liteness Of
his address, our friend demanded of him the cause
of his refusal to grant the paltry aid which was
to save from ruin and starvation not only the So
called rebels but all the inhabitants of those dis
tricts, including the freed population and the
numerous Northern settlers and capitalists in
VOWED in the destruction of the crops, and the
| only answer which the warmest appeal drew forth
from the oracle was, Go home my dear sir, tell
| your friends to adopt the constitutional amend
ment, and then-we will see." But, replied the
Louisianian. if those amendments were adopted
| " 1t would," replied the triumYir, it would
| for the present"
" And thereafter?i
Thereafter, dear sir, we would have to asl
something else"
Thus, not only has the triumvirate which rule
the land determined upon denying the South an.
constitutional representation on the strength 0
| the present amendments, but it will inflict til
populations, friends or foes, for refusing to submit
| for Il return of their sacred rights.
