JOHN RANDOLPH oUrposE.-Of the MANY
amusing anecdotes of this eccentric man Of koa-
noke, we do not believe the following was ever
in PRINT 80
He was through part of Virginia in which
he was MISUNDERSTANDING the rpeanlime,
he stopped during the night al an Ina near the
forks Of the road. The Inn keeper was fine
old gentleman and no doubt one of the tfrst
families Of the Old Dominson. Knowing who
his distinguished guest was, he. endeavored
during the evening to draw him into a conver.
saton, but failed in all his efforts. But in the
morning when Mr.. Randolph was ready to start,
he called for his bill, which, on beng present.

PARIS, Jan. 26.-Yesterday an application
was made to the Civil Tribunal, which shows
that the vicisstudes in the life ofa Lais, as de-
picted by Eugene Sue and other romanci ISIS,
are something more than romance. The ap-
pIication was made for authority to expei an
old woman, named Henrieite, from an apart.
ment on the fifth story of house in the Rue
PopiBcourt. which she pertinacionsly refused
TO quit, though she was not able TO pay any
rent, and had no furniture of sufficient value 10
guarantee The tribunal granted the de-
mand: About thirty years ago this woman was
one of the most dashing courtezaus of Paris.
She had 6ne house, kept carriage horses,
lived in splendid style, and spent enormous
sums over her toilette. She was then known
az the "Beile Henriette," and never drove out
with out seeing number Of the most fashiona-
Bile dandies OF Paris gelloping by her carriage
side. For some years gold literally poured in
upon her but her extravaganza was 80 fearful
that she spent every fartling. LIS re ated Of
her, that she one day gave grand linaer par
ty, and cauzsd bon6ons wrapped in bank notes
to be presented to each guest; and the guests
refusing TO take the notes, she collected them,
and threw them into the FIRE. In time her
beauty faded, and The consequence was, that
her admirers fell off, and her fortune dinin-
ished. She then had to sell by degrees her jew
els and other valuable properly, End when the
money obtained III hereirom was exhausted, she
sold all she hsd. She afterwards fell lower and
lower, until, st last, she was reduced 10 such
state of dreadfai destitution, that she could
only wear rags, and Yves glad to earn few
pence by acting as cIarwomaa.-Cor. Lon.
