Arrcttlcror more Ideal picture of fnlry-
latul wns never witnessed in Omaha thnn the
"Butterflies' Ball , " presented in the Grand
opcrn liouso on Thursdny , Friday nnd Satur
day evenings. A gorgeous train of butter
files , fairies , sylphs , nymphs and trltans , nt-
tlrcd In rich nnd gauzy Imblltmonti , disported
themselves in lovely nnd ever changing
marches , dances nnd posturing. Over 100
llttlo girls nnd nbout n score of their brothers
were the dramatis pcrsonrc , no grown pco-
plo taking part. The argument of the play
Is the tnlo of the "Culprit Pay" caught
making love to nn earth child , his subse
quent banishment therefor , his restoration
ngnin nnd Joy over his return. Hut the set
ting of the piny Is purposely so gorgeous
that the story is forgotten nnd the attention
wholly occupied with the flno effects nnd
grnco of the dnnccrs. In the opening scene
the queen of butterfles , enthroned nnd sur
rounded by her court , witnesses the bursting
from the chrysalises of mnny of her subjects
nnd n merry round is dnnccd. The fairies
then nppcnr , Oberon nnd Titanln , who with
their ellln sports charm the winged queen.
At this the children of the earth claim their
right to dance. A minstrel then tolls the
talq of the "Culprit Fny , " whoso sin , doom ,
struggles nnd redemption nro nil Illustrated
in pnntomlitio by the fairies , naiads nnd
sylphs , nftcr which the whole fete concludes
with n grand butterfly dance.

An Evening With the MusloiaiiH.
Wednesday evening the pupils of the acad
emy of the Sacred Heart , Park Pluco,4ield
the last of the scries of their entertaining
literary reunions. The programme repre
sented a great amount of mental force prefit-
ubly expended and was , withul , so ontci tnln-
ing that at its close the uppermost feeling was
that of regret. The essays were not mcro
biographies of the different schools of muslo.
and further , the cultivation of this art was
shown to bo a power for good , beating the
thoughts into realms of holy imagining , tieiit-
imcnt ana worship. Liszt was ably und
admirably handled ; but especial interest was
manifested in the article on Mozart , who
being unable to shape his thoughts with the
mosaics of the vocabulary found u fitting
mould for them in the harmonics of sound.
In the last essay thu many rich literary
pearls of the past year were gatheied to
dower Urn storehouse of memory. The
muslo was highly classical , both in rliolco of
subject and execution. On the whole the
pupils of the academy hnvo reason to-con-
grutuloto themselves on the ability \vjth
which they have acquitted themselves of
their work in this province. Below Is given

Now , Matthews , It scemcth to me , -
Quito jolly that wo should ngrco
To crown you in May ,
When all nature is gay ,
And birds nod nnd trill from the tree.
For bnllnils that chnrm you I know ,
Arc musical zephyrs that blow
'Mid wco buds which bend ,
And In witchery blend ,
And burst Into bloom nil n low.
The song of the singers who tilt ,
The boughs till the dewdrops are split
And drip all In time
To their warbling rhyme ,
To you is a siren's charmed lilt ,
And bells that chlmo sweetest I wccn ,
Are blue-bells that hnng in between
Green leaflets nnd cling ,
With n rhythmical swing.
When fnlry hands only uro seen.
The drip of the rain Is the sign ,
Your muses to trail into line ,
And buttercups clink ,
As they lift them to drink
Your health from the magical nine.
A singer once lived who could trill ,
Such low , laughing lilts Unit n rill
Ran oft Ima rune ,
And the woods joined the tune ,
Till flowers echoed back from the hill.
And , Matthews , the birds In the trees ,
The rill nnd the blossoms nnd breeze ,
That sing near your door ,
Do proclaim evermore ,
You teach them the ballads that please.
So now , with the May richly dressed ,
And dew jewels thick on her breast ,
'Tis Jolly , I vow ,
Thus to place on your brow ,
A crown she has cheerily blessed.
