PARIs, October 8, 1850
The Indian princes have been lately the heroes
of many conversations IT ia alleged that one Of
them-a brother of the Ambassador rim his visits 10
the principal stores OF Paris, fell desperately in
love with a young milliner, whose establishment
was not far from the Bouevards, in one Of the
most stylish neghborhoods of Paris. The young
prince made magnificent offers, which were re
jected. because their object not honorable. But
love, 1t appears. takes strong hold OF Indian
hearts; and the gossips now say there has been a
talk of bona hde marriage. The difference OF
religion has interposed obstacle to these nup-
tials. The millincr however, has not yet left for
Ncpaul II seems, moreover, that il 10 easy
matter to penetrate that remote kingdom. II this
had been permitted, the celebrated Lola Monies
might have been among the first to take her flight
to that region. Lola Monies ia the only woman in
France or England with whom the prince Jung
Bahadour could converse in his native languages
and the pleasure he experienced therein was very
great For a moment there talk of the de-
parture of the Countess Of Lansfeldt for Nepau
but after a three years with England,
Jung Bahadour signed in the name OF the Sal
tan, his cousin, treaty with Great Britain, by
which every European was prohibited from en-
tering the empire of Nepaul under any prctext.
Not even British subjects arc exempt from the ope
ration of this clause, which the Indian prince much
regrets, for he might have taken back with him
over two hundred persons to spread European light
and civilization Throughout. his own country.
The English government WAS afraid that Lola
Monies might have the same success in Ncpaul
that she had in Bavaria; and the two English
captains, who never left the Indian princes, drew
up certain observations which prove that the treaty
of Nepaul was made for men as well as for women
for Lola Monies remains at Paris to prosecute fu
gitive if not an unfaithful spouse. The ambassa-
dor, before his departure, sent her a keepsake
magnificent drcss of cloth of gold.
Mademosee Dejazet has just given some repre-
sensations at Havre, and her farewell evening was
signaized by an incident which has put in relief
the goodness that distinguishes her generous
ture. Dejazct returning to her box after a
continued success in the Fioe de Cagliostro, and
the sound of the applause which she received was
still ringing in her ears, causing her to smile with
pleasure, when she noticed, in corner of the the
atre, group of artists who appeared to be the vic
tins Of an extreme sorrow. Dejazet drew near
them, informed herself of the Of their grief
and learned from them that ofthe company, (the
younger Lefebvre,) who had been quite unwell for
some time past, had been formally prohibited by
his physician from again appearing on the stage.
"Deprived Of every kind of resource they said,
"and having only of his small earnings at the
theatre left. such prohibition offered to their
panion prospect of the most frightful misery and
perhaps Of death" await moment, my friends"
exclaimed MILE De jazet 81 think can assist your
friend. The people Of Havre are generous, know;
an appeal to their benevoence is always heard, and
will find an echo in every bosom. Call the mana
ger; let him appear before the public and make
known the condition of poor Lefebvre; let him
nounce that MILE Dejazetis going round TO make
Il collection for the benefit of this actor" Then,
addressing the manager, she said to him: "Dear
Wermelen, be ready to accompany me-" few
minutes afterwards the announcement made,
and the eyes Of the audience followed with lively
emotion the movements of the kind and excellent
artste, who went through the theatre in every
from the boxes the gallery, gathering on her way
a plentiful harvest. Her work of charity being
finished, Mile Dejazet rcappeared few moments
after beneath the apron of the kithen servant,
'Lully." As she came on the stage, quadruple
round of applause greeted the actress and the wo-
man--her goodness of heart and her talents.
Algeria has its lion killer and the Department Of
LOrne will henceforth have its sparrow killer in
the person of Monsieur Foucauld, tailor by pro-
fession, and gunner in his moments of leisure.
Everybody in the little city of Couterne moved
at the extraordinary exploit which he accomplished
the morning of the Goth of September in knocking
down at two shots hundred and eighty one spar

and broiled them, was walking proudly up stairs
where the guests already seated at the table, he
made false step, rolled down from the top Of the
staircase, and the floor covered with tho wreck
of the miraculous cunning. Notwithstanding this
accident, the repast a very mirthful one. Mon
sicur Foucauld was proclaimed the president Of the
gunners, and his friends pushed their enthusiasm
so far ss to carry him in triumph through every
quarter ofthe city.
Ascensons arc still much in vogue Monsieur
Potevin has not yet ascended 10 the sky astrdc Of
an ostrich; but that event will yet happen Mean
while, TO avoid monotony, he gets his wife 10 take
his place, or rather, he puts Madame Potevin on
horseback, and takes his scat in the parachute. II

her first equestrian ascension. She wore a riding
dress, and seated hcrself on her charming little
white mare, surnamed L'd,rierln>. The wind blew
from the southwest; and the aerial equipago was
therefore carried in northeasterly dircction-that

some time at height Of 1850 to 1900 metres, in
