Lovers of the dance were more than
charmed by German last Thursday even
ing, given by the Pleasure Club, compli-
mentary to Miss Ellie Elliott, of Danville,
Va. 1t was success in every respect. The
ladies were fairer than words can express,
the gentlemen gallant, the strains of the
State Italian Band rhythmic and inspiring,
and it was one of the pleasantest Of the
many pleasant germans for which the Twin

be many times repeated.

else the peculiar nature of the frog will
resis. Fever in the feet is prolific
source of injury TO the frog, and should
be overcome at the earliest possible day.
Confinement upon dry, plank floor is
damaging by keeping up TOO com plete q
state of dryness. Cutting the frog away
at the time of shoiug, then setting th-
foot upon caulkins in such manner as To
prevent the frog from pressing upon the
ground, will, sooner or later, interfere
with i's development and usefulness. The
most important function of the frog is to
lessen the shock TO the foot in it's contact
with the ground. This being the fact, it
should be SO maintained and the shoe be
SO constructed that at every step the frog
can come in for share of the pressure
upon whatever substance the horse is re-

Il vas an assemblage of the most
brilliant people in the cosmopolitan
society OF Paris, in the most splendid
mansion in the world. / will not enter
upon description of Nj. Cernuschi's new
house in the Avenue Valasquez. It has
long been famed es one OF the greatest OF
the great sights of the city.
Nj. Cernuschi was clad in Japanese
costume, and so were the dozen bachelor
friends who assisted him in receiving the
guests, and as they stood together a. tho
top OF the great marble staircase they
presented such scene of picturesque
magniiaence as Is not to be described
nor even imagined, save in the dreams of
one who has been reading "The Count OF
Moure Cristo."
Such costumes we're never seen before
and the ylaue of the jewels worn was to
reckoned by millions OF dollars. con-
spicuous figure WAS Mme Gauthereau, the
noted creole beauty. Sle Was dressed as
Cupid, and of course, her ra'ment was ex-
ceedingly scarty, but she was literally
encrusted with gold and gems. The alb
brieviated skirts of her costume were
actually made of pure goli, spun and
woven into gauze SO delicate, that it was
not uch heavier than silk.
auOtncr mucH CU5'uthe was
that of the famous beauty. Mime. Ber-
nardski. She was Diana. Her bodice
was of blue velvet and her skirt of white
satin, and every stitch in the seame of
these was marked by diamond or
sapphire.
Hanging over her shoulder vas

She had on her person more than $3.50,

Mme. Marie Van Zandt, the American
singer, was esteemed one of tho most
beautiful women present.
Nine. Pasti, the actress, wore set of
real imperial Ru sian sabies, one of the
less than q dozsn sets III the world, owned
by persons outside of royalty. She had
also marvellous coronet OF diamonds,
said to be worth more than 100000.

SUNSET.

The white clouds float In the summer sky,
And the sun sinks down in the blshing west
Tired but with his life OF light on high,
He sinks TO rest.
And pause steals over the evening hour
Like the hush in hallowed house of prayer;
Tls the breath of the calm invisible power
That dwelleth there.
Then creeping in at the easement window,
Gray shadows drape the darkening room
Shrouding the lonely watchers spirit
In their gloom.
Who that fingers TO hear the voices
Old thoughts awake in the dreamer's heart,
But lives again IN those hours Of broodng.
life apart!
Hours come again from the joyous morning,
When, needless of perils beneath the stream,
We take the cleaning delusiye bubbles
For what they seem.
Then we are dwellers in unreal worlds;
Our hearts are with the past or far away,
Or in the distant wild and untried future,
Not in to-day.
whys Because time has robbed the past Of
thorus,
While the perfume of its leaflets still Is there
IL will never wear.
We have but the dreary present with us;
That alone II ours. and not our dreams ideal
We share earth's.to oils for sad and lonely hours,
For LIFE is real.
Real for toll and strife. yet unfuinlling
Tie ardent longings of the soul
Striving and yearnlng for the world of heaven
Our only goal.

Harry Hill has disappeared as q factor
of Importance in New York's history, says
the New York Herald. In few weeks
the building which has witnessed 80
many characteristic nocturnal scenes
will vanish, like many of the quondam
habitues. Time was when Harry Hills
was frequented not only by the poor
waits of misfortune who helped TO make
it what it was, but also By 4 medley of
visitors brought within its precincts by
various motives. Buff ilo aldermen on q
car0use; Chicago board of trade men,
curious 10 see IL Gotham conld produce q
more sensational noctural picture than
their own city OF divorces, gamblers and
adventurers, and lastly debauches, who
sought congenial society; where they
were certain never to meet with a rebuf
SO long as they refrained from disorder.
Another set, perhaps Joined the mob
because, like BERTHE in "The Henrietta"
it was ''deyvilish," and that it made
them feel so themselves. At least they
thought SO.
This land mark is akout to be removed,
as the site has Just been purchased from
Z. L. Barnum by the firms of Leo Schlcs-
niger d Co., and Foster, Hilsen j. Co. for
$4,000. Within six weeks the purchas-
ers will cause the building to be razed to
the ground, and seven-story fire proof
building, which is to be let for business
purposes, will be erected in it's place.
1t Is how thirty-hve years since Harry
Hill first pitched his tent, so TO speak, at
The corner of Houston and Crosby streets.
During the past year his word famed re.
sort has been closed. Originally, the site
was occupied by grocery, attached TO

speces OF hilarity whicn leveled all social,
intellectual and moral distinctions. In
the seventies the place was remodelec
and enlarged, by the addition ther.to of
the building known As the Hotel Yer
sailles, while dancing room and billiard
and private wine-rooms were added.
About year ago Capt. Murphy of the
Mulberry-streets station, turned his guns
upon the place, whcn it was charged by
Harry. Hill that he was being black mailed

the charge resigned. Then began what
Hill stoutly asserted was persecution"
and he was arrested on several charges of
violation of the excise laws. He pleaded
guilty TO these charges and was fined, but
nevertheless continued to offend. A.
present there are several judgments IN
suspense against him. He therefore at
tempted to run his place without the sale
of intoxicating drinks, but the effort wa,
a forlorn hope and he saw himself obliged
to give up his business. The police
showed him no mercy from the tire thar

ever eager 10 catch him in violation OF
he excise regulations. 1t was Hills
boast that TO one was ever robbed OF
money or valuables in his resort, and that
no murder was ever committed within it's
precincts. OF all notorious or immoral
places ever kept in New York it was, per
haps, the one in which the least disorder
was ever witnessed.
