CIVILIAN M. PRIcE IN PARIS.

CIVILIAN M. Pace IN PARIS. A
friend recently from the French capital.
informs US that that bright particular star,
Wn, M. Price Esq. is shining with dag
cling though BORROWED lustre, III the gay
saloons of the gayest city in the void.
He has lately purchased for summer re-
treat beautiful villa aud grounds. about
six miles from Paris, while he occupies at
as his town residence, at an exhorbItant
rent, splendid hotel in the most iashiona-
bic part of the Champs EyseeS-the grand
metroT oltan locale of the French nriSl"cra-
cy. Probably locofocoism has never be-
fore been so brilliantly represented IN Tor

Less than n year ago, Price was -four
ishing away at the springs. Two cottages
have been erected connected With. and in
the rear of the United States h,tel. One
oflhese wa. built for MIR. Price, and the
other for SwartwoM The latter was abb
sent but Price was in his glory. There
were those, however, even thus early, who
dstrusted them. On one occasion--we
have the story from Col. Hisc. formerly
from Kentucky, but now of Louisiana-at
dinner party, the conversation TUNED
upon the subjrc, Of government defaulters
and Locomotive subtreasnrers. Mr.. Price
talked very periodically against them, and
was so peculiarly earnest, that Col. Ilise
broke forth with the exclamaton--"1'll bet
q bottle Of wine that you will be defaulter
and run away yourself before the first Of
january" Some Of the company laughed
at the remark, as mere badnage. Price
looked rather blank, and affected displeas-
ure at the imputation, and wished the re-
mark retracled. But Col Hise persisted
in the prediction and they parted. Scarce
ly two months had passed, before the alb
sconding Of the one made prophet Of the
other.

STRANGE Story. The Jackson (La J
Republican has the suhjoined remarkable
narrative, the editor vouching for the cred
Utility of his informant. The affair is not
impossible, certainly, but there is sone-
thing ofthe fish story about It nevertheless.
The lady and the gentleman were dead
shots with the pistol but the writer, we sus-
pect, is equally skilful with the long bow.
Some time since the sheriff of county
in the southern part of Mississippi had re-
ceived, in his official character, large
sum of money-say fifteen or twenty thou
saId dollars. Under pretfxt of call from
home for day or two he pllced the money
in the keeping of his wife,whom he charged
to take good care Of IT.
Late in the evening of the day on which
he left home. a stranger of genteel appear
ance called at the house, and asked per.
mission to remain over night. Disliking to
entertain a stranger during her husbands
absence, the wife of The sheriff denied the
request, and the stranger rode on. Dr.
rectly after his departure, however, the la
DIV came to the conclusion that she had
done wrong in refusing to take him in, and
sent servant to call him. The gentleman
returned, and soon after retired to rest
Late in the night, three men disguised
as negroes came TO the house called up the
lady. and demanded the money left in her
charge. Believing that there was no help
for it, she at length told them that the mon
ey was in another room, and that she would
go and get it for them.
1t so happened that the money had been
deposited in the room occupied by the
stranger and on her going for it she
found him up and loading his pistols. He
had been awakened by the noise, and had
overheard most Of the conversation be-
tween his hostess and the robbers.
Telling the lady to be of good heart, he
gave her loaded pistol, and instructed
her 10 go out and present the money to one
of the robbers, and to shoot the fellow
whilst in the act Of doing so--on ner doing
which the the strangely would be ready for
.he other two.
With a GOODNESS and courage that is Diff
cult to conceive of in woman, she did as
directed, and the robber who received the
money fell dead at her feet. Another in
slant, and the strangers bullet had fnored
a second robber. The third attempted ps-
cape, but was overtaken at the gate by the
stranger, and fell under the thrust Of his
knife.
As SOM as practicable, the neighbors
were alarmed, and on washing the palrt
from the faces of the dead robbers, the one
killed by the lady proved to be her owh
husband, and the other two couple OF
near neighbors!

The moment was nigh--his face was like
