JULLIEN.-The Paris correspondent of the
New York Express, sIeaking Of the musical
composer, Julien, now deceased, says
Soon after being released from Clichy, he
announced monster concert IN -he circus OF
the Champs Elysees, caused bills to be posted,
distributed programmes, and established Of
fees for the sale Of tickets, without having
made any preliminary arrangement whatever,
or engaged a single artist OF the " six hundred
frst-ciass performer" -" promised to the pub
lie. Still deeply in debt, he invited large
number Of persons to dine at his house, and
actually entertained them in princely style,
one item OF dessert being quantity of hot
house trawberries, costing no less than fifteen
hundred francs! But Jullien's antics on the
last day Of the Carnival quite surpassed all
his previous absurdities, aud convinced those
who knew the circums tanceS that the poor fell
low had completely lost his senses; though
subseu uen ;ly, until the N urderOus assault aud
attempted Suicide, his madness was supposed
to be of q harmless nature In the day in
Ques tion he hired an ordinary street cab, aud,
decked in fantastic garb placed himself ON the
roof Of the vehicle, and drove about Paris,
playing on a flute the Well.knOwn airs vi
his own repertory. In the course OF this same
escapade, he ordered the coachman To drive
into the courtyard Of the house occupied by
the once famous but now retired tenor, Du-
PREF. Arrived in the yard, followed by Gu
rious crowd, Julien struck mp lively air on
his flute. aud Duprez, who CHANGED to be AZ
home, presently appeared at II window. He
recognized Julien At once. aud, wishing to
humor his freak, invited him in to take glass
Of wine.
II have left OF drinking wine," replied the
ex orchestra leader, "and l won't leave my
carriage. But have something very impor-
tant to tell you, aud beg you to come down
to me.''
Duprez complied, and presently appeared in
the courtyard.
ssNow, then, Duprez," said Julien, with
profound gravity, "you know what an old
friend am, and how always encouraged
YOU when you werea singer. As a future proof
Of my coutin nued favor, intend 10 make your
fortune. and here Is y first instalment OF y
million"
Whereupon he drew from his pocket a
crumpleli concert hill, tossed il 20 the aston-
islsed master, and drove out OF the yard.
