PAH ia, July 19,-As predicted in previous dispatches, the Emperor yields his assent to the demand of the legislative body, the nature of wbioh has been already stated. No ohange in the Ministry bas yet been announced, but ; the reorganization of the Cabinet within a abort time is certain, Throughout tia Thc?s of tbi8 crisis th?.Emperor has exhibited his pe? culiar tact and shrewdness. He invited nearly all the deputies in the Corps L?gislatif to din? ner and soiree at St. Cloud this week. He has chatted playfully with many of them, of al] shades of opinion, giving expression to many got those piquant sayings so attractive to j Frenchmen. "For instance, to one, by whom he had been taken by the button-hole, be said: "Ah 1 Monsieur Buffet, you mean to take hold of my coat for fear I may pull back." To a group of several, with whom he was conversing on the situation, he said : ''You begin to treat me like the old lion in the fable, trying to out my nails and take out my teeth, and leave me noshing bat my mane, which ia considered harmless." To others he said : "The elections prove dearly th nt I must choose between the Empire and revolution. Between neither system can individuals be set up." To others he said : "I will give full ' satisfaction to the liberal aspirations of all parties, but have desided to cease concessions at the boundaries prescribed in the constitu? tion. ' While the Emperor's conduct for the past few days is regarded as adroit, lt ls not con? sidered likely to stop agitation for further con? cessions and retorm. The Thiers party deeming the message of the Emperor satisfactory, have withdrawn the pro? posed interpellation. The D?bats to-day, commenting on the po? litical reforms^ promised by the Emperor, thinks it impossible to overvalue their mean? ing, and un] oat hot to be grateful for the Em? peror's concessions. '<> It ia officially announced that the Senate will be convoked for August 2d. The session of the Corps L?gislatif will. pe immediately pro? rogued and resignations of.ministers accepted, but they continue to' hold office until their suc? cessors are appointed.

I -? ^ The Baltimore papers are filled with accounts of the progress sud incidents of the great fes? tival of tho, Northeastern Sm gerbund. The procession, on Monday, was the grandest ever witnessed in Baltimore. Mot less than ten thousand ; persons were m the line ot march, aud the papeant consumed over two honra m passing a given point. The procession iras composed of six divisions, embracing the mili ? tary, at the head ef which'wai a squad or cav? alry, preceding Governor Bowie and bis staff; the second division, headed hy Slr. Steinbach, President of the Northeastern S?ngerbund; Mr. Ax, the honorary President of the festi? val; speakers and representatives of Ger- ? man societies . in Europe in four-horse car? riages. Next the Social Democratic Turners, followed by twenty-nine societies from New York City and neighborhood. The Mozart Msennerchoir led, and the other societies fol? lowed in the order of their seniority. The third division was led by the' Turnverein Vorwaerts, ' of Baltimore. Mayor Banks, the City Council, the Committee of Invitations, the officers of the steamer Berlin of tbe Baltimore and Bre? men Une, the City Police Commissioners in carriages, and twenty-two societies of the Philadelphia' Special Bund-eighteen being from Philadelphia, two from Beading, one from Lancaster, and ono from Wilmington, Del. The societies of thia division were headed by 1 the Meaunerchoir of Philadelphia, the oldest.] singing society in America, having boen organ-"] 12 ed in 1886. The fourth division was led by the ? Independent Turnverein, of Baltimore; five car? riages with the Honorary Committee and the Baltimore societies. The fifth division Was composed of repr?sentatives of the. press, the Baltimore Bifle Club, and members oft he Con? cordia and ot the ' Ger mania Clubs, all in car? riages. The sixth 'division Wis composed of j the ; Honorary Committee ia> carriages, two j butchers' societies on horseback, Sad the so? ciety of bakers, with an immense oven on a wagon drawn by six horses. Baking was in fud operation, and thousands of loaves of bread and oakes were distributed among the spectators along the lino of marci The supply of Seltzer water was exhausted, and apprehen? sions were at one time expressed that the lager would give out. In the line jf march the Arion Society carried a beautiful banner, oh one side of which was the following stanza: - "From tbe Boston noise, still sick and sore, I took a ride to Baltimore; Wbere tfcey, as every one may see, Mow bolo what it a jubilee."? The other side exhibits a quartet of froga giving a concert, the stork presiding aa their leader, a herring and a lager beer barre). A pretxal was suspended from the banner, i .-.i The Baltimore correspondent of the Nea' : York Snn, writing on Sunday last, says: Somebody'says that Just as water boils at 212 degreeB Fahrenheit, so all human affections evaporate at ninety, and a man will foreswear his own brother at ninety-five in the shade. I used to think this might beso, but now I don't beheve.it. There ?re two thousand German singers here, and they go about the ?tree? lookedarmin armtandIflfifcffij??WI the time tbe tnermometer marka a hundred rn the porch of the hotel. In fact, Baltimore is ono gr??t bone-boiling establishment, for the heat strikes into a man's very marrow, and every individual brick glares j at One like a red eyed .Polyphemus. Tue Germans do not mind it. They are happy. They go about tbe streets in squads and banda, always on the sunny side, moat of them -dressed in brown linen coats -with large wet splashes of moisture on the back.. With them, pera Duration is happiness. Perspiration and song, I ehe md say, for they are irrepressibly Vocal. \ They gather in little squads in the public parlors and in private parlors, and -in. their several rooms, where, by reason of tb > heat, they re? duce themselves to about the dress of the En? glish blondes, and fan themselves and sing, solos, duets, trios, quartets, and choruses are extemporized at the ?bortest notice, and from early morning till loug past midnight the strains of Fatherland are heard floating ?through all the corridors of the great hotels. THB GATHERING OF THE GLANS. But to begin at the beginning.' Moat of the New York societies came on by special train on. Saturday. To go through - the cars one would suppose that he had suddenly Jumped oat of America sud into the middle of Germany. Car after car of the long train waa filled with Teu? tons. They are not a taoiturn race, and tbe air was filled with "Oohs" and "Ichs," and all the other gu it?rai combinations of tbeir strong, honest, sturdy language. The only man that seemed to have an English tongue m his head was the conductor, who doubtless regretted that his education" had not carried bim also into tne German classics. , DECORATION OF TBS CUTT. To-day tho city is gay with bunting. Flags are everywhere, and most conspicuous of all is the striking flag of. the North German Con? federation, wbich is Been in all the sirsets-a tricotar. of white, red and blick. The citizens have very generally complied with the request of the authorities to decorate theil houses, and the effect is of hospitality and recogni? tion. The hotels at which the principal so? cieties are quarter d nave received special attention. The Liederkrank' is at the Eut aw House, and the Arion at Barn am?, and thc pil? lars of these hotels are wound with evergreen, their balconies hung With crimson cloth trimm? ed with golden fringe, and the fronts festooned with Chinese lanterns. The citizens stand all day opposite in admiring groups, especially the colored citizens, to whom ibo brilliant con? trasta of the red and gold. and. the flaunting and novel flags, seem to afford eminent satis* faction. ' ?vi a ',?h ; ht-wi-i FBBFOBMANOB OF THE OBATOBXO. I<l ' On Sunday evening the "Messiah" was given. It was curious to bear the famous old choruses in the German dress. For instance, that no? ble ooo with whioh the seco Dd part of the ora? torio commences, ''Behold the Lamb ot God," was hardly itself as "Sich, das ist Gottes Lamm." It was an affair of the Baltimore singers. Fonr hundred, it was advert ?B d, would sing in it, One hundred actually did. The orchestra waa quite email, and was not supported by any organ. The hall was about throe-fourths full, lt was noticeable that hardly one of the two thousand members of tbe Sougerbund in town were present. The solo parts were taken by Mesdames Botter and Frederic!, and Mesera. Himmer and Hermanns, all well known to yo i in New Yolk.

If they af e really fond of dancing, as one of the one arts combining science and enjoyment, they would dance with each other all night, though outside the "marble halls" they might be deadly enemies-Montagues and Capulet*, with no eoho of Borneo and Juliet to sotten mutual dislike. So that not even danc ig together oftener than is absolutely naons ?arr ia unmietakRb'4 evidence, any more than sitting away in cornqrs,aeeing that equal skill and keeping well in step are reasons euourh for p-ej potual partnership, making all idea of flirtation unnecessary, ta fact, there is no outward eigii ?r symbol ot flirting which may no? be mtsTsK^and turned round, because flirting ia so entlfBrjSu ! ke intention, and not ID the mere formula, that it becomes a kind of phantasm, a proteus, impossible to seize or to ?Opiat with aooarapy. One thing, however, we can say-that taking gi rta and attentions, of? fered v?ith evident design and accepted with tacit understanding, may be certainly held as constituting an important element of flirting. But this is flirting on the woman's side. And here yon ara being continually taken in. Your flirt of the cunningly simple kind, who smiles so sweetly and seems so flatteringly glad to see you when you came, who takes all your f?resent s and acted expressions ot love with he moat bewitching gratitude'and effusion, even she, so simpta as she see mw to be, sips .the thread and will not be caught if she does oot wish to.be caught. At the decisive mo? ment When you think you hive secured her, she makes a bound and is away; tuen turns round, looks you m the face, and with many a tear and pref ty asseveration wai declare she never unoerutoottyou to mean what von say you have meant all, ejong} and that you are cruel to dispel he* di enoi of a pleasant and harmless friendship, and very wicked indeed beca?a? yon press her fdr ii deciaioo. Yee, you are cruel, because you have believed her hon? est; cruel, because you did not seo through the veil ot flattery abd insincerity in which she clothed her selfishness; cruel, .because ?he waa false. That ia woman's logic when brought to book, and forced to confess that her pre? tended tove was only flirting, and that she led yob on to your deatr action simply because it pleased her vanity to make you her victim. Iben there are flirts of the open and rollicking kind. Who let you go far, very far indeed, when suddenly they pul) np and assume; aa offended air. as if you had wit tully transgressed-known and absolute boundaries'.girls and women who lead you ou, all in the way of good fellow? ship, to kn ooh you over When yo? have got just far enough to lose your balance. That is tueir form of the art. They like to seo how far they can make a man forget himself, and how much stronger their own \ delusive enticements are than prudence, experience, and common sense. And there are flirts of the artful and "still watere" kind, something like the male flirts spoken ' Of just now; sentimental little pusses-perhaps pretty young wives with un? comfortable husbands-whose griefs haye by nd meine soured or scorched, 'ut jost mellow? ed and refined them. Or they may be of the . sisterly olasa, creatures so very frank, so very sisterly and confiding and unsuspicious o..evil, that really you scarcely know how to deal with them at ail. And there are flirts of the scien? tific Kind; wemen who have studied the art to; sn arti' ?ttl- W* are ^ep&^?du0ef and using each with deadly precision. Prom snob may (a kind Providence deliver us ! . As the tender mercies of the wicked, so ate the eoientiflo flirts-the women and the men wnp play at bowls with human hearts, for simply tho stakes of a whole life's happiness. ? I It used tp be an old schoolboy maxim that no real gentleman could be. refused by eft lady, because no gentleman could presume be youd bis line of encouragement. A fortiori, no lady would or could give more encourage* munt than she meant. What are we to say then of our flirts if this maxim ia true ? Are they.TBttlly "no gentlemen" and "no ladies," aooording to the famous formals of the kitchen ? Perhaps it would be said so if gen? tlehood meant now, as it meant centuries ago, Se real worth and virtue* of humanity. Por ?ting with intent is a cruel, s false and ? beartiM* amusement: and time waa when cruelly ana. falsehood were essentially ; sins that vitiated aa claims to gentlehood* And yet tb? world would no very duli without that innocent ki nd of nonsense which often goes by tb.3 name of flirting-that pleasant something which is nlore than mere acquaint ance shin and less than formal loverhood-tha(? bright and animated intercourse Which makes the hours pass so easily, yet which leaves no bitter Sang of self-reproach, th it indefinite and un eflnable interest by which the one man or the one woman becomes a kind of microcosm for the time, the epitome of all (hat is pleasant and of all that is lovely. The obly caution to be observed is. not to go too. far. Spui? Wieta. SST"ANOTHER WONDER OP THE AGE.
