THE ASsOMMOIR BALL,

PARIS, May 3.-The ball at the Elysce-Mout-
martre, In honor Of the 10oth night of .sL'Assom-
moir,'' was perfect witch's Sabbath Of the
naturalistic school,. The word OF command was
de s'e.canailler; ladies were to appear as wash
erwomen, gentlemen Us ouvsaers. The ticket of
Invitation was q pictorial curiosity. 4 dirty
looking barman, admirably sketched, held out
card on which your name was written, With this
slangy phrase in the corner, '0n cassera tne
e9oute.' That meant there would be something
to cut. The ticket was sown broadcast through
out the theatres the studios, and over the salons
OF Paris. It would have been all very we'll ii
the invited had dressed themselves by
the card; but the did not Half of them, at
least, seemed to think that to appear en- ouvrier
meant to appear IN poyou, and they made up in
the likeness Of the worst ruffiaufsm Of the capi-
tai. Every other man you met was got I'D rs

Zola was one Of the few who did not wear q
blouse. He was dressed-like gentleman;
and his only chance Of saving himself according
to the rules wus to say that lie appeared In the
travesty Of q tavern waiter. .Coppee, the poet,
actually made this mot In answer to an erpostu-
lAtion. Tourgcuief, the Russian novelist, had
erred In the same way: but he set himself right
over his black coat. C1airin, the painter OF pict
ures, appeared as painter OF houses. Dupuis,
the actor, rs q pork:outcher; aud there were
llstickers, slauqhtermen, pastry cooks, print
ers, and other trades enough for the wants OF

zin were not happy IN their makeup. There
had evidently been certain hesitation among
few OF the invited In taking the thing au
serieur. It was the fault Of the card: "Ceuz

"seront recus toat de meme" This was
scratched out: again With stroke OF the

knew exactly what was expected Of them, aud

We have received from Mr.. G. Ehni,
lormsly of Wheeling, now OF 81 Branch
street, Philadelphia, a poem OF considera-
bic length, expressive Of an injured state
OF mind on his part, brought
about, as It would seem, by a lack
of appreciation on the part of this
community in regard to his personal
merits while in our midst. The story is a
long one, but its particular point Is that
the poet came to Wheeling from Germany
some years ago as single man, and took
fancy to the place and the people. He
speaks Of having liked the Wheeling girls
very much, but, nevertheless, thought it
iudiciOus to so back to Germany for wife,
and this he did. AT least he went back
there to see his mother, and while there
was captured by a German maiden,
whom he married and brought back to our
midst. For some reason he did not find
the welcome from old friends that he ex-
pected, and, at this point in the story, he
very naturally asks,

ed that it brought so much disaster upon
him. That he fully appreciated and even
loved the Wheeling girls, plainly appears
from the eighth verse Of his poem. He
says so in SO many words. He also states
why hesitated to marry one or more Of
our girls. We quote his utterances on this
point as follows:
n loved thy girls with high esteem,
Bat light never could II deem
To take one Of them, I the boys
Would surely make fearful noise"
This is equivalent to saying that our
boys would have made it disagreeably hot

boys are not OF that kind. They go of
themselves occasionally and get married,
and do not as a rule seek to corner the

abusiness discrimination against Mr.. Ehni
on this account, We can hardly believe
that they did, Poets are proveebially

what ails our friend. We rather think he

THEY VARY A LITTLE.

In an interview at Chicago, as pub
lished in the Tribune on Sunday last,
Mr.. A. D. Langstaff, president of the
Howard Association, said: And all
meetings are open to all. In fact, the
charter of the association provides
that they shall be, and the statement
that we are in the habit of holding
star chamber sessions is a wicked lie. y
In an interview held with General W.
j. Smith, and published in the
LEDGER last Monday, the acting pres
ident of the Howards said: 1.-THE
books of the society have always been
open to the public inspection. Like
other organizations, we have private
business meetings, from which we ex-
clude outsiders" Several members
of the Howards here have repeatedly
stated that their meetings were notopeu
to news reporters, but that certain
members were using their influence to
have reporters admitted. No COM
ment, however, is necessary in the
face Of the two statements above
made by the two chief officers of the
organization. If the Howards' meet
ings are now open to reporters it is
news to them. They have under
stood, and in fact have been told by
HQwards that no reporters were ad-
mitted to the meetings of the asso.

"Chom," the French Caricaturtst.

New York Herald, 8th.l
The greatest caricaturist in France
was the Count Amandee de Noe, bet
ter known as Cham" who died in
Paris yesterday. He was born in
1919, and of most aristocratic lineage,
for his father, the Comte de Noe, was
peer of France. His mother was.
however, English, and young Amadee,
having been brought up entirely by
her, acquired British accent, which
he retained. Very tall, thin and up-
right, serupulously correct and Eng
lish in his attire, Of manner external
Fly cold and polished, he thoroughly
realized the Partisan idea of the Lon
douer-the more so as, like the sailor
in Gilberts ballad, he never laughed
and he never smiled, though one of
the most practical jokers in existence.
On an occasion, going into restau-
rant, where he was unknown, he set
tied into corner seat which hap
pened to be generally reserved for a
stockbroker who dined in the house
every evening. The waiter said moth
ing, but the stockbroker, coming in,
felt wroth at the usurpation, and was
about to complain of it, when he rec
ognized the familiar features Of the
caricaturist. He thought he would
have joke at the expense of Cham,
and calling the landlord aside, asked
if he knew who was that tall, thin.
most solemn stranger. No, the land
lord had not seen him before. 8" All
well, then, advise you to order
him out as quickly as possible, else he
will scare away all your other cnstom-
ers," whispered the stockbroker
" 1t is Heidenrich. the executioner.
The landlord gave a jump, but with
out an instants loss of time walked
up to Cham and begged him to depart,
adding that he would not ask him to
pay for what he had eaten, and would,
indeed, not consent to touch his
money at any price. CHAINS features
betrayed not the slightest surprise at
this communication. May | ask
who revealed TO you that / am the
headsman? ?" he said, in his gravest
tones, "Itis that gentleman yonder."
All, quite So" answered Cham, i'm
perturbably, " he ought to know me.
for | fogged and branded him at
ToulOn not tive years ago." 1t is al
legged that the stockbroker recorded
vow never to play tricks on Cham
again, and similar resolutions we're
generally made by those who meas
ured wits with the nimble caricatur-
ist.

Prominent c6lored men just arrived

nothing remains but to let them 60

They report that tho exodus will set
in in dead earnest Che latter part of

spring five will go this fall. The move

Kansas, but all Western States will
receive accessions,
