(Fran tL Anglo-Anterkan Times.) ~~ PARIS, I)ec. 22. The rather absurd ehargesanade by a Paris cor respondent of The Press and St. James's Chronicle against Americans residing here must proceed from t.omething like spite on the part of the writer, who probably has attempted-try -get into American society in Paris, and has not ,succeeded. It is true that in some instances Americans who coma abroad betray a certain degree of snobbishness apropos of their de sire to obtain the entrée into aristocratic circles, but that any should go the lengths so fancifully pour trayed by the entertaining correspondent referred to above is absolutely false. There are but a limited number of Americans who have mada Paris their home, and these being wealthy, very respectable, and intelligent, neel condoscand to none of the littletricks dwelt upon by the said correspondent, whose exceeding bad taste in so ridiculous'y misre preseutiug. American society here scarcely merits notice. As I said in a former letter, it being now quite the thing for Americans to make the Euro pean tour, some strange specimens of the genus Yankee find their way over here, but it would be as unfair to judge of American s3ciety in P.Lris by the& exceptional cases as to make s seeping denunciations against English society on ac count of the absurdity and lack of good breeding of some English persons who may be met here. Parvenus are the same the world over, and that " shoddy" should be as absurd as your " Veneer ings" or the "neuveaux riches" here is a likely re sult. Apropos of American society, I may state that last Monday evening a charming reception took place here at Colonel Norton's residence. The event was all the more interesting from the fact that the American banker in question had invited his friends in order that they might hear Miss Rice, a young American artiste, sing. She comes to Europe to devote the next two or three years to the most assiduous cultivation of a magnificent voice, which has already made this gifted lady quite celebrated in Boston and New York. I may add that the dilletante present much admired Miss Rice, who doubtless in due time will take rank among the American artists who have achieved a reputa tion in Europe—Patti, Kellogg, Vanzsni, Merensi, &c. Miss Minnie Hauck, who is to mske her debut here next Tuesday evening, has become the liming of the moment, through a marvellous biographical • sketch published of her in yesterday's Figaro. It may be great as an advertising dodge, but is Mun chausen like in its proportions. The writer asserts that Mks Hauck, at the tender age of eight, rescued a well-known New Yorker, Mr. Jerome, from a fearful death. He had been captured by the In dians and bound upon a railroad truck. Just as the screeching locomotive was upon him Minnie rushed forward, cut the thongs which bound Lim, pulled him off the rails, and thus saved him. The , Figaro goes on to relate that impelled by his gra titude, the gentleman, whose fortune is immense, " 10 millions of dears," took Miss Hauck to New York—of course th.. Indian and railway incident did not take place on Broadway—placed her under the tuition of a celebrated music teacher ; she made her debut with success ; received from M. Jerome one hundred thousand dollars on that occasion— took New York by storm, and is now to appeal to Pari; for the last and most important sanction which an artiste can receive. You will scarcely . believe bow much sensation the above nonsense Las created, and how many Parisians believe the whole medley of " After Dark" romance and fact. As regards the latter it may be briefly related. M. Jerome, a well known and very popular gentleman of New York, who is fond of art, happeded to hear of Minnie Hauck, as a child possessing a remark ably fine voice. This interested him. Ile heard her sing, and decided to patronise the child. She received the best tuition, has sung with suc cess in London, and is now to sing here. with what success I shall relate in my next. There can be no doubt that the event Creates a marked interest in American circles here, and that at her debut Miss Hauck will have an audience largely composed of her countrymen and women. She is under the management of M. Maurice • Strattosch, who, up to the present time has, as you are aware, been the very able and tancee.s.alul. agent Of La Patti. This artiste left here yesterday ; - Slie will sing in Brussels and Liege, and will arrive in S:. Petersburg about the 9th of January. Her last appearance in Paris was doubtless one of the moat interesting events of the kind ever witnessed on any stage. Not only did the audience call out the artiste and overwhelm her with bouquets and crowns of gold and precious stones ; they shouted " Adieu," "Au revois," good bye, &c., as though it were a parting between the dearest friends. The charming artiste wasso affected that she burst into tears, and on returning to the green-room embr,%ced those present with erfusion. The theatre was literally jammed to the dome, and the receipts were over 24,000 francs. I should have stated above that Mr. Jerome, the patron of Miss Hauck, has just arrived in Paris. He came by the Pereire, which reached Havre the day before yesterday. He will be surprised, doubt less, to find how interesting a person he has be come to the Parisi ins, who look with wonder upon the hero of the adventure described above. Mr. George \' ilkes, the editor of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, a journal of New York, which has at tract ed much attention of late years, by its boll advocacy of extreme Republican measures, and which took such a lead in the Impeachment affair, is here, at present. The incessant labours of the just terminated Presidential campaign have some what fatigued Mr. Wilkes, and he comes here to pass a quiet winter. Mr. John Savage, the poet, and lately appointed American Consul to Leeds, is also in Paris. He was as much surprised upon hearing of his appointment as could have been the English authorities, and awaits further information ere he proceeds to the post. In your remarks about Mr. Savage, who is a most intelligent and gentlemanly person, you were but just ; the position is an extremely embarrassing one, and Americans here wonder at such an appointment, unless, indeed, it be the purpose of President John son to test how England will accept this practical working of the naturalization laws. One of the American institutions in Paris—Thorpe's Bar Room, where any of the nondescript " drinks" of Yankee land may he obtained, from the " cocktail" to the " foaming pick-me-up"—has been the scene of much animated discussion this week. At this bar-room congregate English gentlemen as well as Americans, and it frequently happens that the Duke of Hamilton, his brother Lord Charles, and other noblemen may be seen there. About the said aristocratic personages - the Figaro of last Monday contained a scurrilous article, charging that they were tipsy in the street, that they assaulted some quiet citizens, that, with their grooms, who like themselves were tipsy, the duke and his party cleared the street. I take plea- - sure in adding that the whole account was grossly exaggerated, and arose from the first that upon a wager originating at Thorpe's the young noble man rode against time from Paris to Chan tilly, and it was while making the start from the Rue Laffitte that a slight disturbance took place. I may add that the Figaro has published a retractation of the unfounded charges it made. We hear from the Americans at Nice that the sojourn there is more than usually gay. A great many New York and BoSton families are there at present. General Darling and family, of New York, are at Florence, whither has gone Mr. Tickner, the well-known publisher of the Boston firm, Tickner and Fields. Mr. Tickner is to reside in Europe for the next two or three years, and will, after making a tour of the more important places, return to Paris and there make his home. During the week quite a number of Americans have arrives here. Mrs. ‘Valsh, the daughter of the American Minister, General Dix, is to return here this month. It is expected that when she arrives the receptions of the General will commence for the season. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS. S. A.
