Aiter the fifth Juning the home dlab were useless at the lat “and made only one clean hit in the last four jnmings. Their ficlding was rather shiftless as the score shows. The Chica- fos played their wsual close unyielding game in the feld, and supported McVey finely, While at the bat. they were lucky and deserving of it. Thelr strong point wes, however, theirbase run- ning, and thiat was what won the game for them 85 much cven as their batting, It was the harpest display of thut part of the game eser seen in Hartford. The notable plays were made by Apson, White, and Hines, the latter taking & high ball after & long ran, that secared bim three rounds of applause.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP, The play of last week has strengthened the Chicago Club for first place, with the Hartfords 4 good sccond. The Boston and St. Louis Clubs are even as to games won and lost, and the struggle will bebetween thoseclubsfor third place. The Reds, of Porkapolis, are at - the end :;:‘1 t:hcr:wc sofar. the following is the score to atiasinar| oLy a Cinei Games [0t... THE EAST AT THE WEST.

NOTES OF THE.GAME. ‘The representatives of the bulls and bears on *Change, will play a match game of base ball on the White Stocking zrounds Tuesday, May 20. Game called at P m. Says an exchange: “The most wonderful mau in the base-ball worldis Addy; no matter where the ball is thrown on the west side of seeond base he is after it.” We fully belfeve that Boston has secured a Chicago base-ball reporter for this season, and his haudiwork may be seen_almost any day in the columns of. the Herald. When Jim O’Rourke’s honesty comes to be impeached, . what may we expect next? That Harry Wright, perhiaps, had a hand _In losing to the Hartfords ihe other day, when lie let Borden piteh.—New Yorl: Sportsian. Where the Chicazos excelled was fn their al- most perfect fielding und ju magnificent base running, in which respect they resemble the old Boston team. And tuis one thing—daring base- Tunning—is what won the championship for the Bostons, and is what will win for Chicugo, pro- vided the Chicagos win it_at all, which'is by no means u cértuinty. What- the Hartfords most need at present, is good coaching around the bases, and if they would copy after the Chi- cagos inthis respoet they would do well.—Tart- Jord Post, May 4. Murnan has proved ajewel for the Bostons, and it is doubtful if thé Association would now exchange him foreither of the four who went West. So says the Boston fferald. Murnau is no doubt a valuable and efficient player, but when it is stated that he_would be preferred to any one of the four who joined the Chicagos we aré inclined to doubt the - statement, and think that jealousy gave rise to the remark. “ Beware of jealoasy, my lord.” “When Spalding, White, Barnes, and McVey come to read the paragraph quoted from the Boston paper, they will “cach and all make a vow that if they let'the Bostons makearun when first they meet they'll be d——d (darned, of coursc). The Hartford Daily Zimes comments as fol- lows ou the Tuesday game between the Whites and Hartfords: *“‘Ile visitors immediately be- an practice, and made some brilliant exhi- fimmxs of throwing and catching, especiail around the bases. They carry that same digni- fled, pompous, conceited air Which characterized the Boston Reds last scason, but it may e per- feetly legitimate if they can’ back it up. Their systom of training s been perfect,and not aman of them gives any indication of fear or lack of confidence. They go in to take everything with- in their reach, aud when the sport is over they inventory to see how much of what_they want- ed theysecured. Not a single point do they Jose advantage of, and, while their field talking may be justly considered ungentlemanly and fimproper, there is just the poing in which they will hielp defeat their adversarics throughvut the season.” BILLIARDS. TRHE NEW STAR IN THE BILLIARD WORLD, William Sexton—who has come into celebrity since he went to Puris some months ago-to compete with the great Vignaus—was born in Burlington, Vt., in 1554, and played his first game in 1367, and shortly after that became a room-keeper, locating in various cities. In 1575 e played bis first mateh with Charles Effler, of Albany, N. Y., including the 3-hall and 4-ball game, winning both. The latter consisted of 1,500 points, aud Sexton made runs of 141, 165, 24, 291, and 462, making the astonishing 4-ball average of 107 2-14, his opponent. securing alto- gether but 483 points. After several minor inatches, he eutered the tournment at Tammany Hail during November of last year, and at the 3-ball game defeated Slosson by 300 to 234, Daly by 300 to 237 and Rudolphe by 500 0 234, being beaten himeelf Garnicr. Subsequently Vignaus won the challenge cup -and carried it with him to Paris, and it was decided that an Amer- Jean_player-should be’ selected to go over and wWin it briclk, if possible. Two good players were named, Slosson and Sexton, and the latter was thie chgice. 1e made the voyzge, and on March 31 last he crossed cucs with the great French- man at the Grand Hotel.at Paris. Vignaux Won by 600 to 450, his highest run having” been 156, and bis average 19 11-31, while Sex{on made arun of 120 and averaged 142581 Since his return Sexton has steadily improved, and his Tun the other night at Philadelpbia and his re- markable aversye attest his wonderful capacity as a player. He is quite a young mau, the youngcst, in fact, among them all, and his voy- fre abroad to bring home with him the emblem of the championship is evidence of his pluck. o is of o slim build, with a pale complexion, and his Tace will never tell of victory or defeat. The style of his ¢ is the very opposite of his opponent’s, Iis forte is in “uur 7 the balls, which he does with wonderful delicacy ana care. Like Vignaux, he is strong at the masse shot, but_relics more on the cushions 0 Dring the balls into place. SEXTON’S BIG RUN. Dispatch to the New York Sun. PHILADELPIIA, May 25.—The game this even- ing was between Cyrille Dion and Sexton. It started slowly aud continued unexciting throughout four innings, in which Dion made 116 and Sexton only 13. Then the great playing began, Sexton, in his fifth, bad the balls ina good position, but carclessly scattered them. e drew them togfthcr at the lower cushion by geveral masterly draw and fine masse shots, and then kept them together inaway that soon made the spectators enthusiastic. The two balls lay against the cushion, and for shot after shot p e scarcely jogged them from their wpon theqy he scarcely Jogged the Grom thelr aces. Fifty polnts were Rere pempyml.’ly stirred. Even then they did nmot quit the cushion, but only moved along it onc way and the other, while €y were defeated for the third time by the stons to-day, whose fielding was far inferior, | the score, was deftly, steadily raised. There was loud cheering and great eseitemeut a by both the Dions and. when 100 was reached. At 220 Dion spr: ang fro, bis seat and congratulated his nprflmcvfi, and the applause was renewed. Soon afferward so e benhies were crushed down by the 5tood upou thein and stamped their approval of the play. At the 276tk shot the Lals were for the lifst time scattered gince early in the The excitement rose with the probabilit flfifikrau“rc’ but Seston scemed. wool. 1o cl v;"drbls cue carefully and made the shot Yery deliberately. The balls spun.Jound the table and a count was vociferously cheered, 3 tount’ on a yemarkably difficult our-cushion shot, Teaving the ballsin almost exactly their position before the break. The cowting then w‘mlt on until the 256th, when the balls again separated, o long draw, not less than4 feet, {‘na.ssed them once more, and ended the game 5 seoring a total of 300 in five innings, an jverage of 0. The wildest, enthusiusm was ex- iibited, and many wanted the run counted, but the Refcree decided otherwise. In the second evening game Daly beat, Slosson 300 to 254, THE RECORD.

THE CNICAGD FOOTHALL CLUB. Yesterday afternoou a smalt but very select attendance witnessed the first day’s athletic sports held under the auspices of the Chicago Football Club, at the base-ball grounds. The number of ladies who graced the grand stand was particularly noticeable, as they fairly out~ numbered their male attendants, So pleased were all present with the afternoon’s enter- tainment, that the Club may confident- Iy look for a 1lawge attendance at their next meeting. The programme included walking, ruuning, jumping, lammer- throwing, and weight-putting, and it was got through with comumendable punctuality, begin- ningat 3 o'clock and terminating promptly at 5:40 p. m.,—the time sct down on'the card. A 3-mile walk was the first event, and for this Messrs. Charles Downs and F. Billings started. Billings stuck manfully to his work for half the distauce, - when he had to give up, and Downs came home by hhnscl;; in the good time of 27:45. The trial heats of the 100 vards followed, aud they were won by C. J. Williams, A. W. Sullivan, and W. B. Curtis, and those three later on_competed in the final heat, coming in in the inverse order, Curtis Deatime Sullivan by a yord und a_half, with Williams 8 yards “behind. Time, 11 seconds. The high juinp was also_won by Curtis, who cleared +4 feet, 10 fuches, G. Valentine second at 4 feet 8 inchies. A third win was recorded for Curtls in the hammer-throwing, with a record of Tt feet G inches, his mearest opponent being C. C. Hilton, at 60 feet & inches. Seven started for the quarter-mile run, and as they streamed round the course in their ‘many colored costumes the seene was o remark- ably pretty one. - C.J. Williams at once_tool the Jead, and, ulthough Cleveland and Sull; nade a desperate cffort to catch him in the straight Tun in, he was never caught, and won a Tace by 5 yards, Cleveland beating Sullivan by half that distance for sceond place. Tise, 59 seconds. A race for strangers for a old medal presented by the Club was the next Svent. The distance was 220 vards, and nine started, the wioner being G. J. Williums, who beat E. De Wolf by 2 yards, after an_exciting straggle, V. J. Valentine o ood third. The running wide jump fell to W. 3. Curtis with aleap of 1S feet, W. Borner gecond at 17 feet. Putting the shot was won by A. W, Sullivan with the excellent heave of §1 feet 10 inches with 16-pound shot, C. C. Hilton second, 23 feet. The 120 hurdle raceisa favor- ite feature of an athletic programmie, combining as it does both jumping and running, the meu having to clear” ten hurdles of 8 fect G inches high.~ The first heat was an excellent race be- tweca Curtisand A.W. Sullivan,and althoughthe later stumbled half way, be recovered limsclf, and, catehing Curtis at the second Jast burdle, beat him bome by 3 yards. Time, 20 1.5 The second heat was au casy win by . Borner, C. Billigs not luving pace ‘enougl for a short race. ‘The final heat between the two winners was a close one for half way, and theh Sullivan came away and won easily by 5 yards. The mile run brought out five starters; of these Bill- ings gave out after going a quarter, C. Downs and Homsby guve out on the third guarter, and C. J. Williams and Ralph Cleveland ran it out, Witliams leading all the way, and, althouzh Lis opponent made a fine" effort to catch lim a hundred yards from ‘home, he was unable to do so, Willinws winning by 5yards. Time, 5:163. A consolation race for beaten men brought out L. R. Williams, C. Billings, sud A. I Horosby. Williams led for a bundred and fifty yards and then began to tire, Billigs catching bim and beating him home by 4 yards. Hornsby caught Williams in the last stride and made a'dead heat for second place. Time,37{ seconds. THE TURF, CINCINNATI.

Sandford’s Bay Eagle has been scratched, consequently there will be no representative of Americs in the contest. The French horse Braconnicr, en- maged in and_backed for the French Derby (v:finnblc stake) to be run to-morrow, has been scratched for that enguzement, so 8 1ot to Seopardize his chances i the Bnglish Derby, for which he is backed to win by a large amount. 2 GOLDSMITH MAID. Goldsmith Maid, the old empress of the trot- ting turf, will trot against ber own time of 2:14 at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, on the 2d of June.. The reappearance of the Maid on the turf will be hailed with satisfaction all over the continent, and we anticipate arlarge gathering to witnc:s her latest and_greatest undertaking. Budd Doble informs us that the old mare was never Jooking or doing better, and her work so far has been satisfactory. Col. Russell did a wise thing when he mide this race for Gold- emith Maid, for thousands of the visitors to the Centennial will avail themselves_of_tliis oppor- tunity to see her at her best ew York Sports- man The Hittle fellow had tiever before been on the car, and, of course, viewed eversthing and every- o awith o chilil's astonished eyes.

The Xoan MNarket Inactive---Tax- Fighters as Borrowers, * Some of the Principal Sales of the Week. - THE LOAN MARKET, LITTLE ANIMATION. The figures below show that there has been more doing the past week, but the market is without animation. Loan aggnts arc still in- clined to adhere to o conservative policy, and evince but little disposition to lower the rate of interest. Parties wanting renewals must have a clear title, free from tax-fighting tactics as well as more serious incumbrances, or they will not be listened to. Taxes must be paid up, and ‘would-be borrowers must prove that they have never had any disposition to evade their obliga- tions fn this respect. Such is the ultimatum of those who have money to loan. No loans have been placed the pust week at 2 lower figure than 8 per cent. The prospects of the market are not very promising. Some parties report the commencement of 2 revival of business in the country districts, and predict o big inroad on the stocks of our jobbers within'.a few weeks. But, even if this prediction be verified, some time must elapse before its effects are felt in every channel of trade, and especially in. the real estate market. The fact is, everything is at o standstill, partly eaused by the coufusion in our City Government, partly by the tax-figtht- ing ?mel[fi!.(cs of certain property-owners, and partly by the stagnation in business which has prevalled in the country tributary to Chicego during the past winter and carly spring. Unfil all these troubles are removed,gwe cannot. ex- pect any hmprovement in the 1o%n_ narket, nor any prospect of borrowers procuring money at aJuwer rate of interest.

Probably the best that could be snid abont the real-estate rarket of last week would be to say nothing about it. The number of actual cash sales made was very small, and none of them were important. It isidle torepeat the oft-given explanations of this state of affairs. At a time when real estate can be bought to more advantage than is likely to be the case again for twenty or thirty years, capital holds off. There are few men Who have the nerve to operate against the crowd, but those who do so inrcal estate in Chicago at the present time, if they buy judi- ciously, cannot fail to make money. If the language nsed in fast SUNDAY'S TRIp- TNE With regard to the fallure of the n tion for the sule of the Dore Block conv any of our readers the idea that there Was an imperfection in the title to the Riverside prop- erty involved in the trade, it should be correct- cd.

The Philadelphia Zedger, speaking of the or- igin of the mutual saving and loan associse tions, usually misnamed buflding assoclatfons, says: The carly Philadelphin societies were formed by workmen Who liad wo knowledga of the ways an means of carrying on the socfety, but had obtalned reusonably cléar ideas of the ends to be aimed at. They learned much from their experience, and any ‘mechanic, who now takes up the subject, ¢an obtain from building association books and other publica- tions the benefit of thatexperience. If he agks for more than that he isnot enrnest enough in the cause to make a successful association, cven under the personal guidance of Philadelphia socicty ofii- cials. The latter are eelf-reliant, and, being so, are ftted for co-operate work, and ambitious to se-. cure howes for themselves by their own exertions. If they or thelr fellow-members wera otherwiae, they would still be renting houscs or rooms, and wailing for some one to come and tell them how to £ave money and own their own homes. SUBDIVISIONS.

People, while admiring a flne picture, or while marveliniz at the price paid for a chef d” @ure, are apt (says a Paris correspodent of. dppletons Journal) to Yose sight of the cost of the produc- tion to the artist. They marvel at the $60,000 paid to Meissonier for his “Battle of Friedland,” and they lose sight of the ten years of toil, the ‘money paid for costumes, for the hire of models, the time spent in historical researches, ete. Then the ordinary expenses of an artist are by no means trifling. The antique carved furniture, ‘Venetian glass, ancient tapestry, and old cos- tumes used in’ painting certain historical pict- ures, are extremely valuable. The accessori of the studios of Vibert or Casticlione, for in- stance, are worth no less than 55,000 each, at 2 modérate computation, and at European prices. Even the colors are, in certain instances, very costly. Then comes the question of framing. The frame of u modertesized pleture may cost anywhere from $40 to §200. Gustave Dore is said'to have paid $500 for & frame for onc of his colossal compositions. _And, moreover, in these days of keen competition, a painter, espe- clally if devoted to landscape, cannot sit quictly down and evolve things out of the depths of his ‘moral consciousness. - He must travel, he must study Nature inall the varied aspects that he wishes to represent, and these journeys cost money. As for sculptors, they are still worse off us regurds expense. To embody their ideal n marble costs no less then 31,300 for_each statue,—the carvers that copy the clay model in muarble, and turn over the statue to the seulptor all ready to receive the finishing touches, being paid soue $300 for cvery ope that they under- take. The block of marble for alife-sized statuc costs about $250, nor can the artist ever tell hovw his stone is going to turn out. It may be of the finest quality, and as white as the driven snow outside ; yet may contain hidden flaws and stains tha will be only too apparent on the surface of his statue, Yearsagol heard of a young sculptor-in Rome who had cxpended 2ll his time, his talent, and his means, in_the roduction of a nude female figure, on which he Foundel all his hopes of suecess and of future fame.

Daring the War, an officer in the Army of the Potomat was surprised (says the New York World, on recciving o draftof men to fill up the gap in'the ranks, 0 find that one of the names on the list .was Fitz-Herbert de Percy. Still eater was his_astonishment at_ the discovery fi:nt the owner of this aristocratic name was an Irishman of the Irishmen—a man _whose broad accent, -as Brougham would hrflscit,fiould only have béen made Wwith abroad ax. “If it had Leen Michacl or Pat- Tick or Dennis, and Flaberty, O'Rourke, or Hooligan, now,” soliloguized the officer, “I could understand it, but—Fitz-Herbert de Per- cy!

Drunk or. spher, to orders or en- treatics, artfully pumped oradroitly questioned, e made but one reply: ¢3e namn is Fitz- Horborrrt de Porrrey.” At last his term of service expired and he reccived his dis- charze. ©“And now, De Percy,” eaid his com- m:mfllng oflicer, * you are out. of the army, and whatever your real name may be, or your rea- sons for abandoning it, can make no difference i your relations with fme.

The Beauty and the Lady of Fashion ---The Strong-Minded. Fast and Wild Girls---Dead-Beats and the Forlorn Female, ZLucy Hooper in the Galazxy for June. “T am going to the reception of the Ameri- can Ambassador to-morrow,” once remarked in my hearing a British M. P. “ And what takes you there?” queried an in- quisitive by-stander. “To study female beanty in its highest phase,” was the highflown yet evidently sincere answer. The presiding lady at the American Embassy in London in those days was Harrlet Lane, the American Minister being James Buchanan. It was impossible for American grace and beauty to have possessed in those days a fairer or more dignified representativethan the beautiful Penn- sylvanian. A radiant and regal blonde, fair as Venus, stately as Juno,*and coldly dazzling as Artemis hersclf, she was a rare union of the qualities which a representative woman of- the world, Ambassadress. Queen, or President’s wife should possess. Something fn the womanly dis- nity of sher mien put the stranger who ap- proached her at once at his case, yet repelled every famillar or incautious advance. I remem- ber seeing her at the Italian opera in London, her fair bair crowned with a wealth of white flowers, one spray of which trailed its blossoms against the snow of her uncovered and beauti- ful neck; and she was the point de mire of every opera-glass in the house, and unquestionably the loveliest woman present. AMERICAN BEAUTIES, - And though this rare and radiant vision has long since faded from the glowing canvas of ‘public life, and is velled from the view in the sanctified scelusion _of domestic .happiness, American beauty still bears undisputed the alm in the thoroughfares and ball-roomsof the }d World. The fair faces of our young girls adorn better than the roses“the festive gather- ings of rovalty or nobility. Their bright young beauty attracts the involuntary glance of every passer-by on the streets or in the parks of every capital in Europe. The pencil of the artist and the skill of the photographer find their fittest subjects in_their -dalnty forms und cherming faces. At this'moment there is to be scen in a picture-store on the Rue Neuve des Capueines a lovely erayon head, the reprodaction i peneil of the photograph of a daughter of -a well- kmown 'banker of Philadelphin. The artist could find no better subject. where on fo exer- cise his skill than the featares of this fair-faced foreigner. And every now and then some duzzling belle, some acknowledged queen of beauty, even in our land of fair women, comes abroad'and drifts from city to city, leaving be- hind her as she goes the renown of her charms, and drawing around ber everywhere a throng of admiring gazers. Another charm which the Americaine abroad possesses, to the envy of all her European sisters who are nat Parisian born, Is tyle; that nameless attraction which is more potent than e, and more bewitching than beauty. The English or German damsel puts on a Parisian- made costume, and straightway it becomes transformed into a etilf and eless garb. But the New York belle dons the latest creation of Worth, gives her skirts a shake, turns around three times before her glass, and walks out of her tosdoir a Parisienne every inch of her. The mysterias of underskirts, thé secrets of color, the knack of carryiug traius and of kuotting sashes geem to vome to her by iutuition. She falls behind the Parisicnne in one respect,—she cannot originate; but she to catches the feeling aad spirit of ler original that lir capy equals f¢ in all respects. These types of American womanhood, therefore, the beanty and the lady of fashion, may be set down as highly successful on this side of the Atlantic. THE STRONG-INDED. In strong contrast to this dainty image of porceluin is that form of stiffer clay, the strong- minded Americaine. Wha that has dwelt abroad Tnows not this stern and aggressive style of womantibéd;!in water-proof cloalll: nna]a spec- gdle-nged, encrgetic, and undaunt ‘»lngl obst\u‘;‘g&x! She has come rove her mind, and she improves it sceddginfiy, totally neglectine the outer Wwoman inthe Jaborious process. She stops for three weeks in Paris, and takes French lessons daily, with 5 vague idea that the mysteries of a forcign tongue nre to be couquered in 3 series of cizhteen battles, lasting one hour each. Though floored in this first campalen, she % comes np smiling, and is ready to renew the contest the wmoment she gets to Germany. The number of intellectual females abrond who, according to_their ovn ehowing, ‘tcan read French,' but who can neither understand it nor speak it, baflles all belief. - The strong-minded womsn is ubiquitous and indefatigable. The print of her India-rubber shoe is visible on_the sumumit of Mont Blanc; the glint of her spec- tacles may be descried afar off upon the very pinnacle of the pyramid of Cheops. She chedis off thesights shehas seen in a business-like way, and evidently enters each one as so much to her. account. 1 Venus de 3ilo—so mach. 1 Ascent of Mont Blanc—so much. 1 Sistine Chapel—so mach. And 50 on. _ She Is the terror of our representa- tives abroad, from whom she contrives to ex- tract unlimited information and_assistances and, whose protection she clamorously claims when! swindled by hotel-keepers and dressmakers. She is not handsome, nor is she very bewitchiny, Dut she is thoroughly estimable, aud wortby of all respect, not to g4y toleration. TIE FAST GIRLS. Not s0, O, my countrywomen! are two types of you which_ sojourn much abroad, and of which much is heard. The fast girls of my na- tive land, ¢ set numerfeally small, but loudiy uproarous and boldly sclf-psserting, have sent by far too many representatives to Earope. And unfortunately, by reason of the very tapa- eure naturo of théir peculiarities, they atiract o ficgrcu of attention, and are credited with ade- e of importance which in_numbers and in so- cial standing they are very far from possessing. One loud-voiced, fast-mannered girl, whose penciled_eye-brows, powdered and pafnted face, Pha doshing attire, and bold . disrégard of all the conventional rules of propricty, make her the observed of all observers, will attract offen- ’sive attention, and call forth adverse criticism, where a thousand well-bred young American damsels would pass by . unnoticed -and unknown. And " so it has cbme to uss in Europe, and ‘in Paristan soclety especial- |5, that the recognized type of young American ladyhood is a being {rom whom every forcign mother would shrink in dismay as a possible as- sociate or exumple for_her carefully-guarded aughters. The American girl who carrics on “handkerchief flirtations™” with unkoown forcigners, who introduces herself to attractive strangers of the ngposhe sex, who drives out unchaperoned with her foreign admirers, und who goes unchaperoned with them to balls and theatres, is_a creature who unfortunately b only too well recognized an existence. It w: such girls as these that not only made the out- rageous caricatures of *L'Oncle Sam credible, but caused them to be accepted as true pictures of our social life by intelligent Parisians. Miss Sarah Tabblebot was scarcely an exaggerated likeness of some of the female representatives of “the ‘fast set® of our larger cities, though widely differing from the truc typo of well-bred American womanhood. FOOLISH WILD GIRLS. . It is n matter for serfous regret to every thoughtful American residing abroad that so many of our soung girls should be so carried away by vanity, folly, high spirits, or love of ad- miration, as to suffer themselyes to indulge in actions which, however resrehenslblc at_home, | are at Jeast understood an oned there, in consideration of their youth and foolishness. But in Europe their silly violations of progriezy only expose them to interpretations of the very worst character. A Frenchman, for in- stance, can never be bronght to understand how a wild girl may violate every rule of conven- tional propricty and yet remain morally pure. Light mamers arc in his eyes an fn- fallible evidence of an improper char- acter. And when & pretty young creature makes “eyes® at him or” fiirts ‘her handkerchief at him in the street, following up these demonstrations by a nod and a smile, heé has no {dea of the folly aund love of fun which promgb such unlady-like emonstrations, but he sets them down at once to thevery worst of mo- tives. And really, in the interest of the large majority of the ymm(i1 coun! ‘omen :\brsn L, L wish some law could be passed suppressing that ublquitons and uproarious pest, the fast girl—a class that, being numerically unimportant, con- trive, like stage soldlcrs, to give an idea of mul- titude by much rushing toand fro and unlimited noise. Walkimg on the boulevards or driving on the Bofs fu the Ioudest possible toflets, chatter- ing nolsily in the boxes of the Grand dpcm, re- anlless of resentful hisses; driving out with |- Counts andBarons who never by any. cebring their mothers and sisters to call upon them: “larking it at Mabille or the bals such 1s are creaturcs to be suppressed. What. girl | atters it if there be but a few of them? They are heard and seemand commented upon on every side. It f3not 5o long ago that Figaro ublished an account of the doings of & party of ast New York girls, giving their names in full. 1t was but - yes| ¥ that T sat at the Ttalian opera behind two young ladies who had comd there without either escort . or ehaperon. It is but the other day that an American girl went to the Jardin Mabille with a party of gentlemen friends, waltzed there with some of ber escortay and ended by ‘of refreshments side ‘side, with pm habitues of the lmbl’. Yet all these wild young women are of lemn= ished moral character. ~But who can persuade & French observer that such s the true state of the case? THE DEAD-BEAT. The American “confidence woman” is also another being whose existenceabroad is a shame snd a seandal to her ebmpatriots. Usually of some social standing, she contrives by dint of her acquaintance with some few of the respect~ able members of_the American_colony, to ob~ tain credit from dress-makers and hotel-keepers, and to carry on a successful warfare amainst poverty, Without the slightest_help from that all-potent weapon, money. Of course thera comes aday of reckoning and of retribation; whereupon she either makes her escape, to com- mence her depredations in some new field, or else contrives, by dint of tears and piteous pro~ testations, to extract some pecuniary assistanca from her fellow-citizens who may ¢hance to be sojourning inthesame city asherself, It jshard for an American gentleman tosee awoman weeping and suffering without doing something to relieve her, and so she generally gets come fortably enough out of her first scfape; it is only at her. second and third that she gets go crully found out and comes signally to grief. The “ways and vagaries of these impecunions dames arc rather amusing sometimes. It is ro- corded that one of them, being in the most ab- ject depths of poverty, according to her own showling, was generously accommodated with a loan of 30 francs by some soft-hearted country- man of_ber own, Whurc%ou she purchased a pair of light.kid gloves, hired a fiacre, and went outto pay calls. In another instance onc of these adventurons ladies borrowed 600 france from a gentleman, and on his calliog upon her to' reclaim 'his loan, was informed by her that, instead of her having borrowed the money from him, he borrowed {t from her, and if he made any mor¢ such ¢laims upou her she would appeal to the Consulate for protection. As he had nio evi- dence of the debt in his possession he wug forced to resign himsel! to the loss of his mon. ey. Wherever these women go there is weeping and wailing among hotel-keepers and dresy makers. They are, generally very dashing in style, flying at the highest game, putting up at the best hotels, and ordering garments at the most fashionable establishments. As the pen- alty of imprisonment for debt has been abol ished in France, they may, i acute enough, es cape all penalty for their misdeeds beyond tem- porary annoyance. But let them beward-how they attempt to obtain money by false pres teaces. Such conduct comes under the he: swindling, and by French law s punishable with imprisonment and fine. THE FORLORN FEMALE. These birds of prey must not, be confounded with auother hapless class, the women who come abroad with a vague idea of finding some- thing to do. Lured by tales of the surprising cheapness of living on_this side of the water, and without any definite plan of action, the drift abroad only to find themselves stranded, g'mnfless’ and forlorn, upon a foreign shore. cachers of English are not in demand, and ed- ucation in music is not to be picked up for noth- ing; so that those resources of impecunions wamanhood, teaching or singing, are not avail- able, Untaught, untrained, and wholly misera- ble, they generally end by becoming shop wom- en or by soliciting alms wherewith to return home. But these are isolated cases, pathetic enough to merit recording, yet fortunately of infrequent oceurrence, The usual type of 'the American woman abroad has, however, no affinity with this pover- ty-stricken sisterhood. The extravagant woman competes with Empresses and Duchesses for the Iatest marvels from the atcliers of Worth and Virot. The enterprising woman makes her way into the most exclusive of social circles and the most jealously-guarded shrines. The snobbish woman sits face to face with Kings and Princes, and gazes breathless upon old women who are glorified with the title of Queen. The evilly- sposed woman queens it at will in the circles of the demi-monde, side by side with Cora Pearl and others of thatflk. One of the leaders of Parisian society is an American by birth. The wife of the ex-King of Portugal was an Ameri- can actress. The heroine of the greatest scandal which has of late years been promul- srated respecting a member of a Royal house— the robbery of the dinmonds of the Russian Archduchess Constantine—was a native of Penn- sylvania. The beauty that enchants New York fairly dazzles Parie and London. Style, gruce, elegance, are all theirs. Besutiful as English- women at their best, and stylish as Parisicnnes, they lack no charm wherewith to captivate. But oh! my fair compatriotes, invent some machinery wherewith the fast girl may be suppressed. She is a scandal and anuisance st home} she is doubly scandalous and twice as obnoxiout abroad. If she must exist (and, like Richelicu, “Isee not the necessity’), let ‘her stay where her pranks are at lsast understood, anil whert she is not sct down as being ever so much worse than she ought to be. - LN .A HUNDRED YEARS!
