The Taria correspondent of the Pinxoer aaye:: A colebrity has panee away from us. Ha was, poor fellow, neither an umbysendar nor an Båtronomer, but in his own way he was nas'ul to society. Ha was kuwa in bia quas ter as the Pere de Ral. This father of the ball had gained his sobriquet, beganse he was the creator of a special calling, which brought him a modest livelihood. His speciality was to set as father, or brother, or cavaller at the disposition of yuang medister, or chambermaids of good mansions, who wished to present themselves at the balls of Meir mondo, supported on a respect- ablo arm. The man's tariff was moderto, only thirty sous an arm. When two demoisellen came together as frivids, ho took one on eleb, aria at elight veduction of price,He gal lantly led in his dancers, and dnly introduced them to partners The Piro, du Bal was old when as died, and amend little savings fri his special industry, mabunting in 8,000 or 4,000 francs. If he did not gain his bread by the dexterity of his band, at least as sarted his livelihood by the force of his arm. · Póado be to his astice!
