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.

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

hour of the ev iiIiil' at whl, h w entered (nine
o'clock) the garden prescuted a very attrac

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.

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

then proceeded to the Chumps Klysees, which

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

A few days ago thoro arrived Miss
Ilolga Gerborora from Sabino, a small
village in Austria. SliocarriedaBmall
bundlo of clothing, and could notspeak
English. Her faco was wan nnd pale
but sho was very pretty. Sho was a
finely formed, Btalwart young woman,
and attracted considerable attention
at tho depot. When spoken to she
produced a card bearing tho inscrip
tion: "J. II. Leamor, book-kcopor, First
National Bank, Columbia, Pa., U. 8.
A."

railroad official aud conducted to the
bank clerk, who oxplained that as an
agont ho received a cash deposit from

imssenger from Austria across tho At
lantic to this town, and he had en
closed it as per directions, sent it by
mail to Miss Holga in Austria, ana
had given her directions how to como
written on tho bank's notopaper. The
next step was to find tho young lover
who had sent so far for his brido. A
mossengor was sent to Chestnut Level,
where ho was employed in tho ore
mines. After considerable search
among tho foreign squatters scattered
over a wido territory, Pietro Pollaca
was found. He was brought to Colum
bia, whore his brido was awaiting him
attheresidencoof Mr. Detwiler. When
tho two lovers first met a touching
scene followed as they clasped each
other heartily iu a warm embrace. A
priest was sent for aud tho two were
married at ono, An interpreter was
also present aud learned tho girl's
story as sho simply told it:
"i got 1110 letter with tno money ana
ticket from Pietro. My parents did
not want tno to coinoaway Hofarfrom

bu true, and know he would be waiting
