The Keller Troupe— Startling Heve-
_ IbUods.
Oar folders will remember the famous Kel
ler troupe, tbit, under the direction of Louis
Keller, created so much excitement among
ear Amusement-loving citisens some time
since with their “tableaux rirants.” The
magnificent scenes of the “ Battle of th<
imitoni " the “ Shower ©f Gold,” and th<
if flora,” in which the. exquislto
form of Madame Keller, suppbrteiby • crowi
of beautiful and happy yohng prls. dre -
thunders of applause from the crowded house ,
frill not readily be forgotten. All is no
cold that gutters,” howerer, and itapnears
from recent rerelations that beautiful anil
happy young fairies had but a hard time 6
it when off the stage. I
It seem*that about two years ago Kellir
engaged seventeen young children, all _ bit
ISfor two of them girls, of from ton to font
teen°ye*r» ofAgV tntraVel with hi-jfor oie
JEr./ That year and part of
Vwar without the parents bearing from thCir
children, but a short time since reports cairn
that they were in Havana safferiug the mijst

United smtee Consul, after great diScnfc
and several suits before u court or jusub,
