LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, November 10.

because the beauties of Mount Vernon
Square had cloyed her appetite. and she
wished to satiate it with the gavetics and
frivolities and vices Of European society.
So she took her maid aud three children
and repaired 10 Baden Baden. where she
succeeded in spending SEQ. 900 the FIST year
and fell in with
DUTCH RUSSIAN on GERMAN BARON,
with a long name and longer title, and
soon succeeded in capturing him. or it may
be lie captivated her. for it would seem
from the denuuemeni that each fell deeply
IN love with the other. and soon they swnTe
eternal fidelity and vowed To love each other
forever and FOREVER But ala~, for their

are never in 4 state of rest; they dance with
much grace aud a great deal of ease. and
are probably the greatest curinsities of the
age. We visited the JeiBpe, one day last
week, and asked the man in charge OF the

tickets enough to supply the

We had not time then To argue the case
with him, but we went back when We had.

he replied: If you will produce your card,
