Ill a recent Issue of TukCouuikh under tho
head of "Mcdltntlvo Musings" several nrn
graphs woro devoted to tho subject of another

From hts letter we quote the following:

Ht, Units, March II, lw.sS.
Of Mr, Mahler's ability as a successful In
structor there Is no need to siieuk, for in Lin
coln's most accomplished society wo llnd n
mnjorlty havo received their knowledge of
dancing from him. He is without exception
tlio most successful teacher that ever visited
this city, and while every attempt iniiiln by
rivals has failed, Mr. Mahler's efforts have al
ways lieen brilliant successes. As n society
gentleman, ns a master of ceremonies, as an
entertainer and its an liistructoi , ho certainly
is well versed nud presides in u manner that
nirords everyono pleasant entertainment.
Many of his old scholars havo slgulllod their
intention to return nnd ninny now ones have
expressed n desire to become members of tho
class.
Tho prospocts now look bright for Mr.
Mahler's return. Tho number ho asks ns n
gunrnHteo Is very smnll and if wnno ono
would but take tho lead, more than enough
names could bo had to uiako it u success, Tiik
Couiukii can furnish ten names to start tho
list. Now, then, start tho bull rolling.

The plo and Immisllnto associate of

such luxuries and consequently must en
