Rue de Clichy. I'auis, September 12. -Our dome during our stay In Paris this time has aot been at a hotel, but a very homelike and delightful peuslon In the Rue do Cllchy, quite near the home of Victor Hugo In his earlier years mid also the one to which lie returned later in lite. Do not suppose, that I nin en deavoring to "ring iu" the puff oblique or the fiull direct for the Rue tie Cllchy pension, for his Is not at all necessary. Wo pay our bills it the usual rates and consider It a favor when iu American friend wrote us of the agreeable quarters he had fuund, for a homelike pension, ccordine to Amcr.can ldea, Is a rare tiling In Paris, and this cinboldles tho best features of French and American life from a modest ten trancs per day point of view. Have you been to the ''Chat Nolr" (Ulack Cat) 1 Is a question often asked in the Rue de Cllchy, some of the Inhabitants of which be long to the fourth estate and know all that Is "going on." What Is the "Ulack Cat)" Is a lucstlon that was asked rather doubtfully fou never know what you are uolngto pull up igalnst In Paris. Rut we were assurd that the "Ulack Cat" was all r'ght, and the gentle man aforesaid, who has been long a resident if Paris and is married to a trench lady, rolunlecred with his wife to act as escort to this curious rcort, the name ot which reminds jne ulways of Itanium's "cherry-colored" eat -black cherries, as be explained to bis ludieuce when the black cut was let out of the rjntr upon the stage. The Black Cat in Paris is quite different (roin llarnum's. It is a club house in the Rue Laval frequented by journalists and artists iramatlc and other specallv tho younger iicmbcrs of these liberal professions. It Is an jrdlnary house, with an extraoidluary window md a swing lamp In front of the door. 1 11 itead of the high narrow windows usual In French houses this has one liluli w.do window ailed In with stained '-'lass in lurid colors, and Uie lamp has also a red, revolutionary aspect, lulled by a somewhat sickly display of gas. The steps to the doorway and tho doorway tself are narrow, but they are guarded by a .remendous Individual a giant warder In 'ourteenth century costume, with helmet and mlbe.nl. He Is not half so formidable as lie ooks, In fact he is good-natured, and admlt 'd us most politely. The ground floor Is oc upird us a sort of restaurant, nt tin tables of vhlch both men and women were seated; some fcry nice, lady-like looking women, too. The regular "meeting" 100m, reading room, &c, )f the club are up stairs, and we were invited io go up and make 0111 selves at home. Tnc itairs were narrow, but the welcome was wide, ind we mado our way to the second floor, the Piesldent, who Is also the proprietor of the )ulldlng and the founder of the club, cxplaln ng some of tho embliiiiintle devices andexhlti tlng the Chat Nolr under all i-orts of aspects, s contributed bv members, to the decoration 3f the walls. The reading room has a copy of Holbein's Madonna, and the meeting room is idorni d with portraits of thu founder and his wile, tho lady in full length and In a striking ilstor.c costume. The club issues a paper ft bleb is called Chat Soir, and which bus for 1 fliiurehead a black cat, with ltd back de cidedly up. ( ' AS T'fiT Black Gat ClubTembuh. There were small tables In the mcetlne room, evidently ustd for purposes of refreshments if tpeakers or proceedings giow prosy. Wo utilized one of these for thu Ulack Cat's bene fit, aud listened to the excited talk or rather looked at the actlv gesticulations of a proup near us, one of which was said to bo a wcll tuown writer for Figaro. We left before tho meeting or any considerable number of tho habitues liadasscmb cd, for our friends wish ed us to see the Parisian Rlack Cat under au ither form, aud knew that the only way was to see It early. "I shall not tell you where I am going to tako you." said our friend, "but you will not be 1 1 raid to go where I am willing to take my wife," and the lady seconded her husband's notion, aud said there would be nothing where we were colnir alarminir or disagreea ble. We walkcu nu lie a distance throuL'h the busy, brillluutlj lighted streets aud stopped uciure uie uroaa steps 01 a ptiuue garucn on the Roulcvard Moutmartre. "This Is not a notorious place, like the Jardln Mabllle," taiu our menu, mat has no longer in exist ence, but it Is one of the j ubl c resorts of Paris, where young men and women meet. where relxllons are formed, temporary or stherwlse, but which are really frequented by ivery respoc table clusj of young married working people lis well, and In many ways Is 1 eurious Institution, not half as black as It Is f minted. Gendarmes stood at each stage ot ho entrance and guarded the doors, and every fralk aud avenue Is under police surveillance. Young women come there alone, and though this renders them liable to attention the re verse of respectful, yet cverwme has a right to claim and can secure protectl in, and be ruardeil to her home, f she wlshe At tho hour of the ev iiIiil' at whl, h w entered (nine o'clock) the garden prescuted a very attrac tive appearance, ai u a very omeny one as well: the broad walks and av uue are out lined and traversed by row of electric lights, and the lion era and shrubbery were fresh and bright s In a real garden. It wak well filled by people of apparently the working clas. Lut not differ uir from the artisan or small trading cu anywhire, aril ti ere was a ipniiKiuig ot tome who wire better iewi sud be oiiia-d In au undoubtedly dlllireut circle.

"urn not look bad or depraved. "They sre not," said mv friend. "Statistics show that a majority of them marry the men w dh whom they form relations, and" the reaou why lln'V can do so Is that their si cletv does not look down upon them: t ey do not lose their self respect. H side, it i not in order to tie main talii'd; It is for Hmdetv and conipaulonsh p that they form their associations; they still preseive their indepiii-n nee; they support themselves; and w. men who are sell-up-porthig do not feel degraled ami will Ktand no abuse. Ti ls pecuniary Independence ren ders the pos tlon of Kicnch women better In some respects than that of the women of any other country. It Is the only nation In tho world where the men are chambermaids and the women cashh r, and where the wonn n practically control the retail busdness." We left before ten o'clock, not wishing to outstay the "orderly" c'cmeiit. From the Boulevard Moutmartre we took our way past tho Madeleine a handsome church In tho stleof the Parthenon, where mam' widdlngs and continuations take place to the Place de l'Opcra. It was a Wagner night, and the grand entrance, the llnest probably In the world presi nted a brilliant nppcar.incef Wo soppdd at one of the cafes lor an ice and then proceeded to the Chumps Klysees, which at that hour aud on S.durd iv evening present n scene of ericliai tinent. The wide, ncauiiful, grounds and promenades lending towards tho Arc de Trlomphe. are encircled with open-alr concert halls, each of which 's fitted up as a drawing room and made radiant with electric Hchts ciu-tered, grouped and mimed In fan lastic and Ingenious forms. The mils c can btf enjoyed outside of the halls for two sou, and' the additional advantage oKalneil of going from one part of the grmind-t to another, a privilege of which thousands avail themselves. It was in this way we finished our "Ulack Cat" evening in Paris l'eyond the Opera House and tho Theatre Francalse, which all Americans feel bound to sec, we have had little time to attend Parisian tlicatics. JU'lleWin not playing; she was oil to America with a Worth wardrobe which has doubtless been describe I long before this t me. The Opera House presented a mauulflccnt spectacle, for It was a Wanner nluht, "Slgard." the opera, and Mine. I'aron, Ilrunehlld. The singing could easily bo beaten, but the cos tuming, the fccn'c, oicho.tral and spectacular elTccts are unapproachable. At tho Theatre. Franchise, on the contrary, there Is no scenery at nil, at least nothing that would bo called scenery nowadays, but the nctlng Is exactly what It should be. It is perfect, and tho mem bers of the company take any part that best suit themselves ami the play, great or small. There is otic there, however, that 1 greatly desired to attend In order to tee its principal act less, Mine. ,laue Hading. It Is only a AMP.

Hut by some accldont she was called upon to play llalre In "Lo Mnltro des Forges," and she made tho same sort ot instant success in the part that Clara Morris achieved years ago in Allxe. She took the town by surprise. Miss Hading also so Impressed her manager that lie proposed and they wero married, and that Is why she Is now Mine. "Jane Hading." Mine. Hud ng is a young, delicate, splrltucllo look ing woman, Willi a curious suggestion of Clara Morris In some ot h'T looks and ways, though younger and very different in her per sonal appearance, and taken altogithcr she shows creat refinement In herdress, and in the five different costumus worn In "Lc Maltrn des Forges" displaced 110 Irwelrv not so much as a pin at the throat the lace at which was fastened with a knot of narrow ribbon, even that ot the bridal dress. 11m revival of this play and her appearance in her original part was an attraction not to bo resisted, eepe- dully M.

Tire' village o!

Hut It pays wcl tor time nnd trouble. The palace wiis orlgl nntlv a fortress, built In tho twelfth century but the building as il stands was tho woiko Francs I., to whom I'aris owe more than tc anv other monarch for that which has con tributcd to Ita greatness. a R wji m Mffl mEH Mil The structure, though enlarged by llenrj IV. aral "restored by the Ktnperor Kapoleoi anil Louis Philippe, has never been materially changed, but pieseivi s very mueii the sanii aspect which It presented to the great art mid luxury-loving King, when visited by the great master of Italian ait and nichltee'ure.to whoii he was the. most liberal and inngtiilleent o patron'. Tlcrc nro many Interesting lncl dents connected with Foiitalnebleau. Napo Icon signed his abdication here, and iu the court of tlie palace took leavo of his Old Guard Here also tho divorce was signed bv Napoleon which separated hint from Joseph ne, Pope Pius VII. having b en held a prisoner by the same tyrannic w ill till ho consented to tnc ncl nnd the second marriage of tho ambitious Em peror.

Tho bedroom Is richly decorated; but the most remarkable object It contains Is s "cameo" clock, said lo hnve been presented to Nupoleon by Plu VII. Tho galleries of Fran cis I., Henry II. andU.'ana of Poll tiers show magnificent frescoes, ami there are of course quantities of splendid Gobelins tapesty, which Is now of priceless value, but time would fall and space also In any endeavor to enumerate the various objects. Wo did not try to see the room under the gallery of Diana, w here Queen Christina of Suction murdered or caused to be murdered her former favorite. Count Mon aldeschl, but we saw tho poor fellow's coat of taall and then Ix-look ourselves to the forest, where near the Fort of the Emperor wo took our lunch, and where, from the summit of the miniature fortress, wo obtained the llnest view of tho forest and Its wondeifullv picturesque features, of which It Is Impossible to give an idea In au outline sketch. The forest of Foiitalnebleau Is a great rendezvous for artists, audit Is near hero 1 be lieve that Miss Elizabeth Strong lias estab lished herself as au unlmal pulnter.

Only a few years have elapsed since the London Spectator iloclaral it quite likely that if Jumbo attained the nat ural limit of his life, liO years, ho might ho tho last of his raco on tho globe. Tho production of tho 1.200, 000 pounds of ivory used in England alone every year necessitatesthedeatli of 50,000 elephants, and from various causes tho annual death rate of this most interesting of quadrupeds is es timated at not less than 100,000. Breeding in captivity must, then, bo depended on eventually to propogato tno species, an now lar successful this hits been iiinv bo inferred from tho general rejoicing among show peo pie when at rare intervals a baby ele phant is born. In deatli Jumbo, by his tusks alono, proves his immense value. Ivory at Liverpool has brought as high as 1, 1200 a ton. In 1870 it went down to 000 a ton, but has since advanced nearly a hundred per cent. Tho dead inamnioth'H tusks entitlo him to tho rank accorded him of preeniincnco in size oyer any elephent ever brought to America. There is a great beast which has for nino years never left hisprison pen at Moscow which is twelve inches higher than Jumbo was. There aro "timber toters" among tho draught elephants on the banks of tho Ganges thirteen feet high, and from whoso number a greater J umbo might readily bo procured. Hut t hero will never bo a more doiile, nnd consequently, asido from his size, less interesting elephant on oxnimtion Had elephants elephants on their travels, and dead elephants nro tho most interesting, by all odds, except, of course, tho intelligent beasts which aro paraded in Sunday school books and first readers for (no delectation of the young, and which havo 110 existence anywhere else Tlie iisli-eating elephant is considered in India themost vti-iousofhis species. In tho Himalayas each variety of tho somi-sacred beast has a name. Tho crab-lover iscalled llinaxat, and turns readily to a man-eat or. Another mon ster, which eats so much lish that his hide becomes scaly, iscalled Hek. Hut tho famous mad elephant of Munda is conceded to be tho worst over known. For years ho had been in tho stud of tho Last India Company. Ono night ho became possessed of a demon, and tno next morning broke looso. and ed to tho woods. For weeks that whole provinco was terror stricken. With a cunning which could i) over bo anticipated, tho mad elephant set hundreds of hunters at defiance, and, creeping on unprotected villages, smashed the huts and tram pled the women aud children. Ho 1 had destroyed thirty-l. . lives when killed. When Jumbo first camo over hero tho London Times commiserated his unhappy lot, but said it was better after all than tho treatment tho trib ute elephants sent from liurmah to l'ekin got when they misbehave. Tlioy aro blinded aud tumbled into a great pit to starve. When tho Emperor of Brazil camo to Philadelphia- in 1870 a newly ar rived elephant at tho Zoo was named Dotn, after him. When Doni becamo insubordinate hundreds of people went out to sco first 0110 foot chained and then another, until each of tho four was fast to a cabl running over a puiiy wheel, when with a singlo pull Doin's legs were stretched out, and ho was reduced gradually to subjection. Dom had to bo punished this way when ho was ten years old! IJarnum's big Pilot had tobeBoyere ly disciplined onco ior engaging in a regular prize fight with 11 fellow mam mal. Pilot's morning cocktail of twenty-seven gallons of watery didn't cool his coppers on 0110 occasion, no 00 deliberately kicked out and black ed a companion's eye. Tho rough-and-tumble fight which ensued was ex citing. But no elephant is over so wicked as whon ho is traveling. In 1880 John Robinson's Chief, with tho cir :us at Charlotto, N. 0., instantly kill ed his keeper, John King, whilo tho latter, in tho prosoncoof a larcocrowd, A'as endeavoring to show now tho beast climed into his special railway mr. Tho comedy becamo a tragedy tvlion Chief seized King by the waist and dashed him to instant death lgainst thosido of tho car. The crowd of North Carolinians become so en raged that, until tho absurdity of the I thing dawned upon them, thoro was 1 actually ecrious talk of trying to lynch , Chief. Tho first modern Inatanco of devil ! try on an elephant's trim In was the murder by tlie J)uko of Edinburgh Tom ot his keeper en route from Plym outh to London. Tom had been brought from Judla in 1H70 in II. It. II.'h yacht Galatea, and trumpeted frantic protests when put on the cars.

Mr. Hutchinson gladly paid this sura in satisfaction, and' fortunately no loss of life resulted, Emperor being finally rolled into the car. Bolivar, until Jumbo the biggest ele phant in Amorica, was brought by Mr. Forepaugh from tho East Indias and via New York to Philadelphia. No sooner had Bolivar's special car been closed on him in Jersey City than he) began to rago. llodrovo A. .T. Fore paugh out of tho car at tho tusks point. Great iniprovcmentshavobeenmada in special cars lorelephants. In 1879 tho English experimented on tho trans portation of these beasts for uso in tho Afghan war, and found that the cattlo cars used on Indian railways mado excellent elephant cars when tno freight was placed in tho center, fenced in with six stout shafts and held down by four anklets to tho floor. 11 Jumbo had been any tailor it is doubt ful if his car could havo been hauled through many railway tunnels. When "His Sublime Grandeur, tho Court and Body Elephant of the. King," dies in Siam, the rest of tha court havo a very unpleasant time for thirty davs. The last body elephant went mad ono night and trampled fivt attendants to death. On tno next morning an ellort was made to corral his sacred body in a ring of "holy bamboo." Ho broke loosoagain, ana in a frenzy fell over and died. All tho court wero punished soverely. A distressing deatli was that of tho elephant Romeo, at Bponovillo, Mo., in Barnum, Baily it Hutchinson's cir cus. Borneo was very large, and was valued at .?;t.r,000. Tho mnchinory for lighting tho tents by electricity had just been set going. Borneo cama by and touched tho armature with his trunk, in an instant it was carried away, torn off at tho roots, and ho died in a fow minutes, sutlering terri bly. Old Bolivar, brought to Philadelphia in 1830, thirty-six inches lower, by tho way than Forepattgh's Bolivar, was drowned whilo trying to swim tho Delaware in 1810.
