.itnga in the rear.
Tbe street IB ' hted at eaoh end by a
Single oil lao1 iluog to an Iron bracket fisei
to tbe ' a 0t a tall pole, the counterpart ia
pbpe of tbe old-fashioned gibbet audtbe veri
table "lampion" of the first revolution. Tbe
windows of these hovels are extremely small,
and many of them are nnglazed, while the
doorways are rarely upwards of four feet high.
Through a wide opening at tbe top of one of
tbepe doors a light is Bean shining within, and
on tapping we obtain admittance down a nar
row lligbt of broken stone step3 into a cellar
Borne live feet below the level of the roadway,
and measuring about nine feet square, par
tially paved with broken tiles, and the walls
of which are reeking with moisture. Above
our heads dangle rows of tattered garments
and recently washed pieces of rags hung up to
dry, while the customary pots, pans, bottles,
bones, old boots and shoes, and rubbish of
every description litter the apartment almost
from floor to ceiling. In one corner is a
dilapidated bedstead on which several child
ren are sleeping, while their mother, a
clean, tidy-lookiug woman, is hard at work
with her needle. On inquiring of the man
how be gets bis living, he tells us by painting
portraits and setting patterns for print-co-lorers.
His wife hastens to show us some
specimens of his skill; which were so sur
prisingly good that we should have supposed
they must have secured an excellent livelihood
for the artist and his family; and yet one sees
by tbe cabriolet and the hook standing in the
corner, and also by the man's bent and
Btnnted figure, that this poor professor of the
arts is forced to eke out a miserable means of
existence by plying the hook of the chiflonnier.
The comparatively clean and orderly ap
pearance of this humblest of households, the
quiet, sensitive demeanor of the man, forbade
the supposition that drink was the cause of
his misfortunes. The rent of this cellar was
two and a half francs a week, about five
guineas a year, or from 10 to 15 per cent,
more than the Emperor proved, by his model
lodgings for workingmen in the recent Paris
Exhibition, a comfortable "apartment" of
three rooms, inoludiug water supply, could be
provided for a workingman's family, and yield
a fair return on the capital invested. It should
be remembered that even an insufficient quan
tity of water would cost an inhabitant of the
Kue des Malmaisons almost a third as much as
his rent.
We next drive to the Italian colony in the
Rue de St. Victor, making first for the house
immediately opposite the back of the Halles
aux Vins. The entrance to this place is
through a most respectable-looking porte
cochere leading to a large court-yard, in which
no fewer than seventy chambers are let out
almost exclusively to Italians, as many as
from six to eight of whom occupy a single
small room, and pay in advance five francs per
head per month for this miserable accommo
dation. If the room is furnished with straw
mattresses, placed on the floor, the charge is
six sous a night, payable before you are per
mitted to enter your room. The rate is the
same for the youngest children as for grown
up people. Tbe proprietor of this establish
ment has accumulated, we were informed, a
large fortune, by letting lodgings at this rate.
The herd of people from all parts of Italy
congregated in this and two neighboring esta
blishments is fully six hundred in number;
and how does the reader suppose they get
their living? Not by work in the ordinary
acceptation of the term; not by stroll
ing about the streets, playing upon
musical instruments, and begging sous
of the passers-by; only a few of them
live by these means. The large majority make
their living by "posing" as models to artists.
Painters of all nations have their studios in
the French capital; hence the great demand
for living models, which these wandering
Italian peasants mainly supply.
Just as the cab drives up, one weary party
of musicians after another, tired with roaming
over Paris during the day, arrives in rapid
succession. They are all in the costumes
of their country, and have either
large harps swung at their backs, or bagpipes
Bluug over their shoulders, or tambourines in
their hands. Organ-grinders are extremely
rare in Paris. Most of these musicians are
mere youths many of them are little child
ren, not more than four or five years old. The
same system prevails in France as is prac
ticed in England with reference to the hiring
of Italian children from their parents, but
not to anything like the Bauie extent.
The sum paid by these "patrons," as they
are styled, ranges from fifty to a hundred
francs a year for each child according to its age.
On making inquiries of several children as
to the amount of their earnings, we found
that about a couple of francs a day was the
utmost limit of them. Practised lads, trading
on their own account, considered they had
had a good day when they earned as much by
11 o'clock at night. They one and all said
that they preferred "posing" to artists, as
tbe pay for this was at the rate of a frano an
hour, and the sitting usually lasted for three
Lours, after which they had the rest of the
day to themselves.
Permission to inspect the largest establish
ment being refused us, as we had not oome
prepared with a special order from the prefec
ture of police, we decided to visit the lodging
house in the rear, situated In the Rue de Bmi
laDgers, a steep, narrow, winding, villanous
looking turning a few doors olT: slowly tramp
ing up which alley we encountered one or two
other parties of tired itinerant musicians, evi
dently only too glad that the weary day had
come to a close.
The proprietor of the "hotel garni" we were
in quest of keeps a wineshop, and all "mar
cb&uds de vin" like to be on good terms with
the police; so after a few words had been ex
changed between him and one of the agents
who accompanied us, he consented to show us
over his establishment, and with lighted can
dle at cnce proceeded to lead the way up a nar
row dirty staircase, reekiBg with foul smells,
epite of U being open on every landing to the
email court behind. Ia the first room to which
he conducted us

and bad had to fly from Italy for his life, as
the Government had set a price upon his head.
On my suggesting that his present absenoe at
rather an unseasonable hour was slightly 8a9.
picious, and that possibly he was following his
ordinary calling somewhere in the suburbs of
Paris, the landlord shook his head. "No,
no!" said he; "he it the most honest of all my
lodgers; you may leave him in a room with
untold gold and he wouldn't touch a five-frano
fieceof it. I have already trusted him two
uudred Jxiqqb, You. m the wife is ill.
and just now they can't mv

You may st" - ,n Paris for Jesus Christ,
more in ty n8 rorlr' dozen tlmss or
it whe- present salon. Yon look out tor
0f ,4 you go there; rather a melancholy sort
oo k reddish-brown hair, and very neatly
trimmed beard. When you see him kneeling
down with a great cross upon his shoulder, he
ia the very image of our Saviour, I assure
you." The landlord also told me that nearly
all the able-bodied men that come to Fraaoe
run away from their own country to escape
being shot or hnng as brigands, or to evade
serving in the army after having
drawn an nnlnoky number. They
nsnally come by a sailing vessel from
some Italian port to MursHillea, and many
of them tramp it up to Paris. Very few, if
any, of them go back to their own country,
unless they are sent there as vagrants by the
police.
In the apartment we are in there are two
mattresses spread on the 11 or at opposite cor
ners, on one of which lies a little baby, per
fectly naked, save a slight covering thrown
over it, with a gold cuafu, to which a gold
cross and heart-shaped locket are attached,
suspended round its neck. All the chil
dren have necklaces aud long ear ring-",
and the mother abounds with Jewelry.
The room contains a couple of chairs,
but neither table, wash-sUud, chest of
drawers, nor cupboard. It is, moreover,
lighted and ventilated by merely a single win
dow, which is closely fastened aud curtained
over, rendering the air of the apartment,
which is only some twelve feet by eight, posi
tively stilling, and yet the children have all
the look of perfect health. Over the mutel
pbce hangs a gold watch, in all likelihood
another souvenir of happy brigand days, with
numerous little pictures and images of saints,
a crucifix, and a few simple oookiog utensils.
Around the room all kinds of rude musical
instruments, high-crowned hats, sheep-skin
jackets, and other garments, are hanging.
In another chamber we find a couple of
families living; two married sisters, both young
and rather pretty, with their husbands big
black-bearded, ruffianly-looking sort of fellows,
whom at a glance you would set down as bri
gands and be mistaken; for neither had fol
lowed this amiable pro'ession. They have four
little children. They were better off than
their neighbors as regarded furniture, but
vastly behind them iu the matter of jewelry;
probably because the husbands had not the
same opportunities of overhauling other
people's jwel-cases. Other rooms we visited
were simply repetitions of the preceding, with
some unimportant variations. In one particu
lar chamber, stretched out on a mattress lying
in the middle of tbe room, were a couple of
footsore, weary travellers, young lads arrived
that day on foot from Italy, after having ben
six weeks on the road, and who had flung
themselves on this to them welcome coach
in their soiled and dusty garments, and were
soundly sleeping with their bagpipes beside
tnem.
On returning to the wine-shop, we noticed
that not a single Italian was prinking there;
the company was for the most part composed
of Irench workmen, with a sprinkling of
worse characters. Nevertheless, one middle
aged, ragged-looking Italian, who was smok
ing his pipe on the doorstep, on being appealed
to by the landlord to give change for a fifty
frano note, produced from his belt a leathern
bag, in which smaller bags were packed, con
taining various coins wrapped up in pieces of
rag or paper. Several of these he deliberately
unfolded, and taking a couple of napoleons
from one, a gold five-franc piece from another,
and some silver from a third, carefully counted
out the requisite change, and then, folding up
the note, stowed it away in the particular re
ceptacle which he devoted to nis paper-money,
as though not in the least afraid of exhibiting
his wealth before such doubtful company.
A drive of a few minutes now conducts us
to the Bal du Vieux Cheue in the narrowest
part ef the Hue de Moutl'etard, possibly the
most notorious among entertainments of ill
repute hi all Paris. It is one of the first places
a police agent visits to endeavor to pick up
information respecting any great robbery, or
to ascertain the whereabouts of any well
known criminal. Every night there are one
or more police agents here in disguise. The
entertainment Lore ha3 gone on for two hun
dred years as long, in fact, as the street in
which it is held has existed, to share its own
iudill'erent reputation. In front of the en
trance, which is brilliantly lighted up, and
decorated with tricolored Hags, we fiod a con
siderable crowd collected, aud among them a
tolerable sprinkling of policemen, Six sous
are demanded tor admission, and you have to
surrender up your walking-stick before you
are permitted to enter. The "salle du bal,"
a long, narrow apartment, affording dancing
accommodations to very nearly a hundred
couples, is lighted by at least fifty gas-burners,
and has rows of tables and benches, shut off
by open barriers, ranged up either side.
Heathen gods and goddesses line the walls.
The ceiling is extremely low; nevertheless the
room is admirably ventilated, an unquestion
able advantage it only because it renders the
strong odor or garlic a trllle les3 Insupport
able. The orchestra numbers ten performers,
of whom several belong to military bands.
Amongtbe male habitues of the establishment
are individuals of various conditions, ranging
from the well-to-do skilled workman and the
youth in some fourth-rate commercial house,
wearing frock-coats and billy-cock hats, to the
laboring man in blue blouse and trousers, and
the suspicious character in garments of great
variety, usually so many disguises. Respect
ability does not appear much at the "Vieux
Chene," the bulk 01 the male portion of the
company being common laboriug men, who
largely patronized the last nine days' Parisian
wonder tbe straw hat at three sous, which is
just now Selling over here by tens of thousands.
Our guides point out to us several notoriously
bad characters, known in slang phraseology
as "lilous," who will rob you iu a crowd of
your watch or your scarf pin; "tireurs," or
pickpockets; "cambrioleuis" aud "vauter
niers," equivalent to London area sneaks;
"griuches a la veille" aud "caroubleurs,"
burglars by means of centre-bits and skeleton
keys ; "bonjouriers," who obtain access to
apartments under sine false pretense, and
carry off anything of value they happen to
come across; "papillonueurs," who rob the
washerwomen's cart; aud "roulottiers," who
steal luggage off the roofs of cabs, and lie in
wait to plunder vans.
The female portion of the company were of
a mixed order; still none of them in the eyes
of the police belonged to the class which iu
England we Btyle "unfortunate." They were
almost exclusively shop-girls, workwomen,
and blanchisseuses; and one or two among
them were somewhat coquettishly dressed in
Swiss bodices and looped-np skirts, and with
towering chignons, aud even Alexandrine
ringlets. One young girl was particularly
noticeable for her slender, graceful figure, her
delicately cut features, and a grave, tender
expression of countenance. She danced with
1 a modesty unusual among the habitues of
the Hal du Vienuex Chene; nevertheless,
next season she will no doubt be found
dancing the "cancan" at Mabille, and the year
jpllowlng driving la her "panler" or her fauli-
taire" in the Bols de Boulogne. At the Vienr
Chene the dancing is of the boisterous, extra-
fant character common to the lowest order of
rench balls; arms and legs are flung about
as though the dancers were, possessed,, and
during certain figures there are as mauy of
the latter limbs, feminine as well as mason
line, level with the gaslights as resting on the
ground. '
To "lever la Jam W i, in fact, the first ai
complishment whicha daneer at Vieax Cheae
seeks to acquire. One among a party of Tur
cos in undresS uniform danced the "cncau"
in all its more vulgar details, while his part
ner, a girl with a vicious forbidding-looking
face of a marked Celtio type, responded to
his indecencies with a calm audacity com
mon only to the most abandoned of her sex.
iietween the dances the proprietor of the
establishment levies a charge of three sous
on each male dancer about to take part
in the dance immediately succeeding. This
is in accordance with a custom which prevailed
ai tne old barrier balls, and the Vieux
Chene is one of the few establishments when
it is still kept up. It must yield a consider
able revenue, for the dances follow eaoh other
with scarcely three minutes' interval. At
regular periods a garcou waters the floor of
the ball-room, and a cook in superlatively
clean white clothes promenades from time to
time up and down the "salle" with sateaux
for sale. Hot wine served in metal basins
and a thin kind of beer appear to be the
liquors most iu request. The driuking-glaases
are nearly half an inch in thickness, and
might be thrown against a stone wall without
much danger of breaking.
Iso less than half a doen soldiers belonging
to the Garde de Paris, the barracks of which
corps are conveniently situated only a few
doors off, are posted in the ball-room to pre
serve order, and there are usually a couple
more in reserve in the passage leading to it,
witu another one or two perhaps stand
ing at the entrance ; nevertheless se
rious disturbances are of common oc
currence. On this particular night, how
ever, we witnessed nothing more serious
than the tearing of a man's blouse to tatters,
the extraction of a few locks of his hair by
some female smartingwith jealousy, aut the
flooring of a man by the heavy hoof of soma
ague cannibal wno bad nrst tried to bite a
piece out of his friend's cheek.
It was now within a few minutes of twelve
o'clock, when the ball would have to close.
and we had still several places to visit to com
plete our night's programme. Pull Mall Ga-
zitte.
