It generally starts in with a great liourish of trumpets, and invariably winds up in disappointment and growls. Young men about town who expect a reproduction of the M ahille or the Chateau Rouge, pay ve or ten dollars for the privilege and are mad as hops because the ball is not as bad as they expected. It is safe to say that the only reason any Am- ericans attend at all is that they expect to be shocked. This has got to be so well un lerstood that the police are always out in full force, and they generally have their long night locusts within reach. The average Frenchman who delights in the ball of the Circle Francaise is a red hot re ublican. I mean French republican. and e does not like his liberty to be curtailed at his favorite hall, either in high kicking and champagne. Now all sales of whiskey. or anything else that a man could et respectably drunk on, stops at one o eloc a.ra., and until one o'clock nobody ex cts to see much fun at the French hall. Very pretty. magnicently dressed, but very naughty are some of the syreus that gild this festive occasion. They are of a class that does not usual] attend social halls in New York, but at the Circle Francaise there is no unpleasant hunting for pedigrees. At one o'clock the police shut down on the wine room, then there wae sweeping and wailing and gnashin of teeth. Tnough the oors and reoept on rooms swarmed with lice and detectives, there was some very lgh kicking as it approach- ed the wee hours, and no man or woman wont to bed thirsty if they only had the money to y. Le detkrar_as_and_ hrion panun. N I believe there is a barbaric strain in our blood coming down from the dusty centu ries, which neither time nor circumstances has been able to purify. a strain which delights in gaudy colours and semi-barbaric bedockment, where Q! win ring la the nose and the iron bracelet on the ankle, is exchanged for the golden hoop upon the finger and the jewelled asp upon the arm. On the oor there were grand old bankers. erudite professors, great lawyers stued full of Blackstone and Story, rigged out as kings and dukes and clowns, and apparently as happy as school boys after the first snow. In the throng were old dowagers covered with pomade and diamonds, who have at- tended every society reception since-since --no, I won't tell you how long, but a very long time ago. There were many verv beaptilui women there, and many more who only made their ugliness more conspicuous by their lavish adornment. The display of diamonds and jewels was wonderful. Mrs. Astor wore a dress that for costliness and beauty is matched by thatof no crowned head in Europe, and it was estimated that her diamonds worn on that occasion were worth not less than a round million dollars.

Society had come down from its high horse at the charity ball, but society did not go to the charity bell for enjo rneut. They went there exclusively forc arity. Fhen society did not wear its best clothes when it did go. Oh, no. M r. Klopstien. from the Bowery, and Paddy Divver, from the sixth ward, might possibly touch elbows with Mrs. Astor or Mrs. Vanderbilt in the crowd. But Mrs. Astor or Mrs. Vanderbilt, as I snid before, had taken in that sei- bility.snd although very well dressea had not put on their best toggery. But it was quite another thing when the elite four hundred met an famille last week. There no outsiders got a peep within the sacred portsls. They tried to keep out the wicked reporter, but the wicked re rter got in all the same, and now Ward l\ cAllister and Arthur 0'Leary are cudgelling their brains to nd out who the wicked re rter is. Broadbrim knows. but he won't tel. Only I can say this much without betraying con- dence, that the reporter did not wear pants.

It is hconaiderable of a tumble from boned turkey covered with jelly, pale dc foia gras, quail on toast, ices. creams, port. punch, sherry and champagne, to red herringn. soup muigre, week ten, and cold winter, and this is what Lent means to many of the fasters.

Clncauo, Feb. l4.-The council of the Irish-American societies in Chicago decided yesterday, aftera hot debate, to have a St. t atriclt`s day parade this year. The custom fell into disuetude years ago, the money which the parades cost being orwarded to l'arnell. A delegate in advocating the old fashioned procession. stated that since the Irishmericans had ceased waving the reen ,flag in the public thoroughfares ritish-Americans had taken to marching and flying aloft the hated English jack. Therefure the Irish must show their strength by aruding. _, \ A.~\ii1u1~n.V, Feb. 18,-A mass meeting oi Irish-Ame ricans was held hen: last. night to raise money to aid Parnell.

We have had quite a sharp strenk of win- ter, and the streets are full of ruined strik- ers out of I job.-Truly yours. . HmummIv_ `New York has uo'mors worthy charity than that opened last week in Mott street, ~ right where it was most needed. in the midst of the slums, where poverty, sin and crime do much abound. It is a monument erected by John Jacob Astor to the memory of his beloved wife, and is one of the most amply rovided for industrial schools in the world. t is ull very well to teach the children of the poor to read, write and cipher, but back all of this comes the ditiicult problem of life, and the question of how to get bread and shelter and clothes, and right here is where this charity comes in. The children are taken in hand as soon as they can get them, and they are put in a practical way to make a living. They are taught to sew, to em- broider, to use all kinds of sewing machines, to keep house. to cook, wash, Iron, make dresaes,snd in short to do everything, which, in after life will make them accomplished wives and mothers. lluring her life 1 had occasion to speak of M rs.

Speaking of St. l striclr s day reminds me that the two factions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians have not yet shaken hands over the bloody chasm. The association is about. evenly divided. and is several thou- sind strong, so that if they should give usla regular ould Irish fight it is safe to say that nothin like it has been seen since the battle of the oyue or Vinegar Hill. We tided the matter over last year nml the year before by getti g` the diiferent (actions to parade at differ nt hours of the day, and in districts of the city several miles apart. The same thing will be done this year, though I can't fail to remember the exclamation of a ibig Irish carmsn. when the ultimatum was sub- mitted to them by the chief of police, Never n oind.

To see the sons and daughters of St. Patrick out in force at the ball on St. Patrick : night, you would never imagine for a moment that distress was un-heard ol by the children of the Emerald Isle.
