The WASHINGTON Republican pub
fishes the report Of an interview had by
one Of its reporters with Artihcer
Moritz. Of the Seventeenth infantry, q
member Of the GrecIy Relief EXpedi-
ton, as to the conduct Of the crew Of
the Proteus after the wreck of that YES
sci. 1Eoritz is quoted in this interview
as having said that the crew were reGu-
lar pirates, who stole everything they
could lay their hands on-valugble arti-
cles from the boxes thrown on the ice
when the ship was sinking, tie soldiers
clothing, buffalo overcoats and robes,
and liquor, on which they got roaring
drunk within an hour after the Proteus
went down.
He is quoted as having said, in re-
sponse to the question why the soldiers
did not prevent this sort Of conduct {:
eve couldn't. There were twenty
three Of them, all told, and only eight
Of us. Besides that, they had all their

Next We were treated to a ballet, rs
danced by some really superior artistes.
The lady opened one Of the criboarI
boxes and extracted thence with q deli
cate pair Of pincers a dozen OF dancing
heas, each elegantly attired in-or
rather, 1 should perhaps say, covered
by-a petticoat Of tissue paper, red,
blue, green, yellow-all the coIors Of the
rainbow. Each dancer was announced
by name as She entered upon the scene.
Nocss Eizabct, FrauIein Anna, Mqm-
zelle Barbe and others, and each and all
encouraged by the voice Of their dircc-
tress, performed the most astonishing
evoIutions, whiriing and hopping, skip
ping, leaping wildly intothe uirin a way
that was comical to behold. It was as
if the minutest Of ballet girls had been
cut III two at the waist, the lower half
performing minus the head and shOuI-
ders, or like a Sabbatical dance Of fairy
lampshades bewitched. Now and again
after some unusually prodigious leap, an
artist would he upset. Then, beneath
the gay voIuminous skirt, the struggling
insect was for a moment visible; quickly
replaced on its legs, however, by the
watchfuI care Of its mistress.
Now came act the third, when the in
terest was supposed to eliminate, and
with much verbal flourish of trumpots q
female rope dancer was produced, second
only in renown to the famous BIoudn
himself. This young lady's name was
Eliza She lived in nest Of cotton
wool, with one other companion, who
was probably in delicate health, as she
was not called upon to perform liiz2
not only danced on Il rope, but twice
traversed an imaginary unfathomabie
abyss on a nearly invisible vine sua-
pended between two pins.

=etta sends the following from Dmtzia:
There was a fair going on outside The
gates Of this most picturesque old city.
Wandering among the booths, or1r curl
osity was excited by one which bore the
following inscription:
"PARISER FLOH-THEATER."
The theatre was about the size Of an
ordinary tambourine, which instrument
II greatly rescmbIed. We looked with
interest at certain cardboard boxes
which stood beside the theatre. One Of
these was open, and showed a Humner
of tiny vehicles, carriages, icycIes, eli
gines, Roman chariots, all as minute as
possible. The other boxes contained
the actors themselves. The enterprise
ing manageress, a stout lady in a cotton
dressing gown, placed herself opposite
at the table and prefaced the cntertain-
ment with a short but interesting ad-
dresss:
"The ordinary domestic fca," she be
gan, ''is a creature of considerable inteli-
gence, and capable Of a high degree of
intellectual cultivation. We have no
less than three hundred in this e,tab-
ishment. They are not hungry, she
added hastily, in answer to some slight
expression Of anxiety that doubtless
portrayed itself on our coUntenauces.
