the Easter wedding of Count Johannes
Won Francken Sierstortf, of Berlin, to Miss
Knowlton, of Brooklyn. Yet the count,
understand, has surpassed the famous
record OF ex-senator Tabor, of Denver,
who, it will be remembered, revealed in
the possession of "a $1,000 robe de mutt.
The count has two, on each OF which the
lace edgings are alone said to have
cost that sum. Count Albert Carstairs,
OF the Irish Rifles, is an En-
lishman who has captured the heart
of the enemy. He is to marry Miss
Fanny Bostwick, whose father made his
fortune in Standard Oil, and is said to have
thirty millions TO fall back on. They have
very wisely decided to spend their honey
moon in travelling South, perhaps as far as
the City of Mexico. Another notable
Easter marriage will be that of Secretary
Remsen White, of the American legation
at Rome. Then, too, there are rumors that
Lispenard Stewart is to wed Miss Letter,
but as another report has it that he is on
his way to Japan, perhaps the still later re-
port that he will bring home q japanese
Mrs. Stewart is to be credited, There are
reports that Foxhall Keene has won the
heart of an Irish heiress, at whose home
he visited during his conyalescence. But
even this may not develop into anything
tangible before Easter. True it is, how
ever, that the American man of fashion
will be able to learn thing or two on how
to treat a wife from the foreign noblemen
who have come thousands of miles to cap
ture American hearts, and, as some one
has said an Easter harvest of twenty mil
lion American dollars.

among children of their own age, but
among the parents of these children, so
that, Tor example, scarcely day passes
when Nine. Mariquita does not receive the
VISIT or young mother bringing her little
girl, and, with tears in her voice, entreat-
ing her to take Mini" into her class.
The following dialogue invariably takes
place: But are you sure she has gift

''Ah, mademoiselle, indeed she is gifted
She thinks OF nothing else. From morn

already. She certainly was born to it; it

Mademoiselle Mariquita, feeling inter-
ested, seats herself at the piano and
strikes half dozen chords, in the time of
q polka. Mini gives a spring, lifts her
arms, turns, flutters, whlrls about-al-
ways out of tiIne-and punctuates her
dance with little cries which remind one
of Buffalo Bill's Indians executing a war
dance.
The piano stops, the mother rises with
pride, presses Mini to her robust breast
and gives mademoiselle a look which,
rightly interpreted. means: "Well, isn't
she hne?" But the look with which
mademoiselle replies is very cold. She
closes the piano, shakes her head and
fatty refuses Mini if she is plain. If she
is pretty, and her class is not over full,
she keeps her.
This is the way her class is recruited.
Mini is really one of the company.
When all are to appear. she, with the
thirty other chits, is authorized to fill

A Test for Paresis.

The correct pronunciation Of "truly
rural" is DR.. William A. Hammond's test
of paresis, as promulgated by him from
the witness-box. in which he sat as an ex-
pert in the Field case. But the New York
experts by no means all agree with the ex-
surgeon general of the United States army,
who went from here TO Washington City
poor in purse and reputation some years
ago, and has since secured both money
and fame galore. Our own allenists say
the true test of incipient paresis is Ma

without ilinching or mincing he can laugh
at paresis. For, seriously enough, this

While at the opera scene-shifters and
musicians in the orchestra, box openers
and chorus singers zealously vie with one
another in urging their children to dance,
and at the same time the administration,
on its side, is pleased to see all these chill
dren, whom it considers it's own, come
into Mile. Theodores classes; quite the
opposite is the case in the spectacular the
aters, where daughters of figurantes,
dressers and box openers are rare.
There is not the least desire, and rightly,
to admit young girls of doubtful charac-
ter, who would quickly contrive to cor
rupt the entire company, or at least to in
jure their dicipIine.
No pretense of training up great artists
is made; figurantes are wanted most of all,
figurantes. it is true, who dance accept
ably, but who perform many duties and
are ready for transformations of every
kind.
They are trained wonderfully well, too.
At the Gate Mile. Mariquita, retired
dancer who held first rank at Covent gar
den, and who puts a ballet on the stage
with the skill of the late Merante, and, at
the Chatelet, NJ. Balbiani, give courses and
organize classes, receiving into them little
girls of years, whom the theater pays
with comparative liberality.
At the opera children receive nothing.
They study four or five years for glory.
Occasionally, when they skate in the
"Prophete" or impersonate gnomes in the
"Freyschutz," they are honored with 40
sous an evening.
At the Gate, at the Oh atelet, the little
women are paid regular salaries; 80 francs
a month, without counting their extra
pay, which varies from 10 sous to 2 francs,
according to the importance of their roles.
The first Of the month they receive both
perquistes and fixed salary at the desk, like
regular employees. There is no middle-man
for them, happily! In three-quarters of
the theaters the chief iigurante pays the
rest every evening and, at the same
time, always makes his little commits

years of this business the excellent man
enters his income in a ledger and owns
three or four villas in the outskirts of
Paris; he is usually mayor of a suburban

with a violet ribbon, as are teachers,
pianists, clerks in the ministry, negro

Paxton and His Parishioner.

Ny esteemed friend. the Rev. DR.. John
4. Paxton, who breaches Presbyterianism
TO Jay Gould, Russell Sage and a number
ofextremely wealthy people in what is
known as the West Presbyterian church
i'll West Forty-second street, has been
getting himself in trouble on account of
his recent e1alation of his patron. Mr.. Jay
Gould. Two-thirds of Mr.. PaxtOns con-
gregation could hardly get into heaven
under strict application of the divine
theory that it is easier for camel 10 pass
through the eye of a needle than for man
OF wealth TO enter paradise. 4 few even
ings ago Mr.. Paxton induced Jay Gould to
give $4,000 for what is known as q fund
for church extension"
Later. through his Kind Offices, Mr..
Gould was induced to part with $4,000 in
the form OF a contribution TO the Univers-
ity of the City of New York. This amaz-
ing liberality on the part of Mr.. Gould
and the softening of his heart toward
religious and educational work induced
the newspapers TO interview Mr.. Paxton
and TO draw from him tie expression that
Mr.. Gould sis one of the loveliest men in
the world in his home life." OF Mr.. Gould's

said he knew nothing, and didn't care to

Douid was as good as the rest of those
wall street fellows, or words to that
effect.
As doctor of divinity this has brought
upon DIR. Paxton Hood of adverse criti-
Iouid laid the foundation OF his monster
fortune some years ago. Mr.. Godkin, of
the Egening Post, whose associates are
henry Willard. who manipulated the
Northern Pacific railway. and Horace

committee in Washington City, is very
much shocked that DR.. Paxton should in

true goodness and using his certified
checks for the various beneficent objects
which he exploits. DR.. Paxton has a
salary of $4,000 per year, handsome
home and one of the prettiest little
churches in the city. He is not more than
40 years of age, and he has physique like
Constantinople porter. He is a Penn
sylyanian by birth, and when boy, in
1851, entered the army. He was in the ar
tillery in Sickles' corps and fought like
hero IN the peach orchard at Gettysburg
on the I'd of July 1868. He is known here
IN town as the lighting preacher" al
though he is in every sense man of peace.
He has strong, heavy-marked, intel
lectual face and he talks with sledge-
hammer force. At times he is eloquent,
but in the main he delivers his facts from
the pulpit as carpenter would drive
nail. He is an excellent after-dinner
speaker, and those who know him esteem
his blunt, frank ways and his great COM
mon sense. He has magnetism and, next
to Colonel Ingersoll, who differs some
what from him in orthodoxy, know of
nobody in the city whom 1 would sooner

meeting.
JAS. A. N. WILLIAMS has received
notice of the granting of pension of
SO per month, and back pay from Sept.
Sd, 1890, through the agency of Hon.
Thos. White. Others have also been
granted, among which we name Martin
A. Morgan and Samuel A. Holt.
On Tuesday evening, June 14th, there
will be given IN the Graded School Hall,
Bennington anticipate with much
pleasure 1t will be grand concert by
the Excelsior Quartette of Troy, assisted
by Robert E. Forte, the eminent
yiolinist. The first tenor. of the
quartette, Thomas Impett, needs no in
PRODUCTION to our people. Besides his
efforts for the Choral Union, he has later
appeared in the "Chimes of Normandy
and this spring in the 'MiKado."
During the evening he will render the
beautiful solo, "Nita Gitana" by De
Koven. Chas. P. Thompson, the second
tenor, is one of Troy's best singers.
Chas. A. White is one of the best vocal
instructors in Troy. Several of our
people have been among his pupils. G..
A. Stein is the basso, and one whom
many of our people have heard. He has
like the others, magnificent voice, and
all will certainly score great success.
This comprises the quartette which
of itself would be worth more
than the price of admission

by his beautiful and artistic playing
upon the instrument of his choice, is
signified to be one of the best artists in
the country. Robert E. Foote is a pupil
of the celebrated Brodsky of Damrosch's

heard in several solos. Very fiattering
success has been met with in the sale of
tickets and the concert promises to be a
great success. Reserved seats at Shurt-
