removal.
It is understood to have bcon decided
cidod at the cabinet meeting to-day
that the pmwltiutwill taku no further
stops in the F.tz John Porter case.
| | Meesrs. Tuylor and Divight made
a minority report on the Uonnepin
canal. It doubts the right of the
Kovernmont to construct works lying
wholly in ono state , and holds that it
is the policy of the govenimont to im
prove natural water ways and not
make now ones. It questions the
policy of the government to enter into
competition with a private enterprise
and eays the canal , if built , would not
fulfil the purposes of construction and
would ultimately cost 820,000,000.

The great iiicht at Mnbillo was on
n Sunday. Up to 9 o'clock the strang
er wandering in would have had no
suspicion of the Snrdanapalian orglca
enlivening its exquisite scenery n lit-
Lie later on. The entrance , boyoud
the flaming gaslight making the word
"Mnbillo , cave no demure hint of the
scones within. Nor having entered
would the stranger suspect for totno
time the wicked transports excited by
the lightstho music , the company. It
seemed rnthcr the park of some af-
lluonb personage arranged en fete.
iVt 10 o'clock sixty pieces crnshcd. the
signal for the dance. Then from
every direction dnmcs in such ci'ntomca
is can bo soon only in a Parisian pub
lic , or n "high-life" saloon , gathered
on the waxed floors under the central
pavilion. The inuiicinnn installed in
the center hold the time for the group
ment. Then , nil being ready , the ot-
trnordinnry carnmnpnolo began. It
was n paroxysm of gyrations for which
the word dance gives but n fcoblo de
scription. If the music were n waltz ,
the movement was an indescrib
able interlocking of arms , legs ,
hands and feet , such as was n aver soon
outside the contortions of Wnlpurgia
night , or the uncanny doings that daz
ed Tarn O'Shnntor at Alloway'o haunt
ed kirk. Movement comes to most
heels when the irrosistnblo music of
the waltz strikes up ; to the French
man , mndtiroo comes. Ho loeis his
mint and titaniUms himself to the rap-
11 ro of the moment ; he embodies the
jyuiniS judcwiont of Voltaire a
uonkoy or a tiger.
A WILD TANOLK OF LROS.
la the delirious 'whirl there wore
moments when the amazed spectator
would have sworn that the rovelora
ivoro a mirage , for their foot Deemed
to bo in the air and their heads , if
they had any , were invisible. Of late
days , however , the dancing was most
ly done by paid mon and women , who
made it mare a gymnastic exhibition
than a feta dansanto. These were
the Amazons that electrified strangers
by lightly removing the hat of an un
suspecting looker-on by a sudden shot
of the < foot. For when the dance begins -

laughter ; then dismissing the discom
fited partner by a neat kick on the
rim a his hat , which would send it
flying far away among the bushes , or
perhaps under the foot of the dancers.
In the latter case ' the price of regain
ing it'was inovitab'Iy an invitation to
the Amazon to have such a "consum-
nmUon" ( refreshment ) as she might
command. Shogenerally | commanded
loaiething that increased the profits
of the bar enough to allow her a handsome -
some percentage. For this is ono of
the terms upon which the cocottes are
admitted , that they should keep them
reasonably assiduous in their atten
tions to the refreshment countora.
AFTKU TK "OUAND PKIX. "
Of Into the only nights that Mabillo
presented any of its old-timo attrac
tions was following the "Gfnnd Prix. "
1'hen dukes , princes , great dames and
what not flocked to the godless scone.
The dancing resumed its old gayety ,
most of the women masked , and the
mon , too , if they desired to escape ob
servation. The adrauuiion , raised to
ton frances ( $2) , assured an audience
equal to the enhanced prices of the
night. The lights were doubled , two
orchestras , instead of ono , kept up in
cessant music from 10 to 3 , nnd the
gnyoty was correspondingly feverish ,
i'ho winningH of the turf wont in
sumptuous suppers in the grottoes and
cabinets. The waiters , who paid high F
prices for their places , made fortunes
oa these golden nights. All that was
famous in Parisian cocottorio could bo
boon in toilets rivaling the Ministerial
receptions. The manners and conven
tion ! ) were simple , No introductions
wuiu necessary. No ono was offended
by trnUiititriui ftnd comments. The
l'nr aian made it a point to bo present
mi the Buiulny night of the Grand
Prix euro of seeing ministers of state ,
inincea incognito and kings in exile ,
iiontondmi ; on equal terms for the vo-
mil beauties of the tote. It-washia
itevotion to Mabillo and its mysteries
that brought the sybarite Plon-Plon in
to disrepute. His party was scandalized
it the Prince' * appearance there while
the courts of Europe were in mourn
ing for his hapless kinsman , Prince
Louis , murdered by the Zulus. t
