Gossip from Paris.
H. Gailardet in his last letter to the Courier tes
Flats U'iis, gives the following interesting bits Of
gossip from the great capital Of civilization and
gayety:
Yesterday, the correctional tribunal for the
second time condemned lin 1880 francs damages
a I'D fifteen days imprisonment the editor and pub
Usher Of Figaro, on complaint of NJ. Jules Janin,
the famous fcuiletonist of the De6dts, who wages
In prosecutions without mercy the yexatious war
which the spitefal barber has declared against him
Figaro is not alone in being ut war with Jules
Janin. From what 1 heard yesterday at the Thea
tire ltalien it would seem that he is attacked from
the very heart of the New World ITSELF and file
Of letters from New York have been addressed to
the editor of the Journal deS Debats demanding
his expulsion from that establishment, in conse
qrence of an indiscreet feuiileton written by him
about Rachel and American democracy. Some Of
his denouncers have even applied for his place
so he assures me, and has offered to show me the
autographs, / shall 60 to see them.
Figaro has on his hands another suit which
the Procureur-Gcneral has entered against him,
for publishing anecdotes little too free. If he is
condemned In this also the conviction will involve
the defnitive suppression of his Journal. He has
$500 subscribers and makes $4,000 francs year
net; but he who lives by scandal is liable to die
by it. aa 5U.ias s0
lished by Madame Marcel de Grandfort will not
treat of politics, was said. 1t is entitled Love
in the United States, and the publishing house
called the New Library has refused to print it. be-
cause it is found to be somewhat too lively. The
author probably has treated her subject er profess
so. Provoked by the scruples of French editors,
she addressed herself to the Belgians The Presse,
which published some chapters Of her first ro-
nance on The Other World, did not wish to pub
lish any Of the second. & 7ssi
"The editorin-ch of this journal NJ Emile de
Girardin, tired Of the loneliness in which he was
left by the death of his clever wife, is going to
marry, they say, Of the fashionable beauties OF
the Paris salons. Her name is Miss Shepoerd, 20
or 26 years of age, and possessed Of good round
dowry, which however, is far from comparing with
the fortune of her betrothed who is worth at pre-
sent nearly two millions Miss Shepperd has the
reputation Of having attracted the attention of the
Emperor before his marriage with the Countess Of
Teba. Her mother, who is the widow of rich
Enghshman, has been more beautiful than the
daughter, and scandal has not spared her. 1t is
the undying worm at the heart of vanity,
Another marriage, which caused no less aston
ishment and talk, is that of Mile Rachel just ar
rived from America, and who is already affianced,
according to the bulletin to one of her old sdorers
NJ. Delahant, ex-Receiver General Of the Depart
ment of Rhone. He is said to be worth 5000, 900
OF francs. ,The great tragedienne must have ac-
cepted his hand to repair the loss she incurred in
her transatlantic campaign, and to avenge herself
en- the notorious treachery which, in her absence,
seated Mile Plessy Arnold on the throne of the
Cohedte franchise. 1t is plain that everything in
this lower world il, more or less, nearly akin to
comedy. Mile Rachel, WHO is living retired in the
country, to escape coincidence and compliments,
did not assist at the re-appearance Of her rival the
Iastori which took place yesterday evening at the
Theatre Italien.
The great italian artist was as beautiful as ever
IN her role Of Myrrha, but the crowd was not az
great. Can it be that the Partisan public has al
ready become satiated / fear so. Novelty is al
important condition of success for an artist whose
language one does not understand, and whom one
can only appreciate in the pantomime. And then
there no longer at Paris the crowds of strangers
attracted by the Exposition; and the townsman
Of the Marias, as well as the shopkeeper of the
Quarter Saint Denis, likes to understand what he
hears Music, alone, represents all languages.
"Giuia Grisi, WAC has not been heard at Paris
since lS46, reappeared at the Ventadour Theatre
some days before Ristori. She chose the role Of
Semiramis for the occasion, and was very much
appiauded But the plaudits were mingled with
sighs and those who knew her fifteen or sixteen
years ago said Qudntum mtaata ab lila r
translate that into Latin, being more obscure 1t viii
be more gallant
