THE MAN MILL1NER IN PARIS.

A Paris correspondent thus describes one of
 the curiosities of the French capital " l H' Worth, the woman's tailor, has returned to
 town and commenced his season.. Do not l wonder if mention him next after divorces
 for has----"-s- "Na-.aasihls for .diEarGes- -tban I 11urvss 1s IS not made and put on by him, she is
 dlsgraced, and if he doea make them you are
 rnined. Is it his fault that his rates of charp-
 ing are so high? Make the days forty eight
 hours long, and relieve him of the vulgar wants
 of sleeping and eating, he will abate fifty per
 cent. of his prices. Seduce his customers into
 paying cash, and he will make further de.
 ductlon. The Empress has owed him $4O, 900.
 The Princess Chlotilda, $l0,OO0. The Prin.
 cess de Metternich, .$2O,0OO. A debt of 5000
 makes no more figures on his books than the
 one years subscription of delinquent patron
 ot your paper does in the Gazette office. I
 should not like to say what rent he pays-you
 would be sure to make an ironical gesture mt
 very complimentary to my love of truth.
 The state saloons of the Tuierles are not
 more splendid Gliding is Iavished on them, the door curtains are Beauvais tapestry, the window curtains and furniture are of the finest Lyons brocade, and the furniture is Boule, each console between the windows being worth S66O- lie has in one of his many rooms buffet constantly spread, where the best sand wiches, the most delicate cakes are served in profusion to his customers. a He is constantly surrounded by twelve beau tifu young girls, selected for the perfection of their shape as well as face. They are attired in the height of the mode, in silk dresses which cost four dollars yark, costly Etruscan ear rings, bracelet and rings. They are part of the | furniture of the place; they are here what the | osier manikins are in interior shops--the dres- ses hung on them, that Worth's patrons may see the effect produced 71i fo, tYH '. |
 No dress ever quits his establishment priced less than $200-in gold, mind you! Whenev CT ball is given at the Tuileries, or at any of the embassies, you may count two hundred carriages at his door from as early as from six o'clock in the evening. Each lady receives number andis called in turn. They come with their hair dressed, their petticoats and corsets on, wrapped in second rate dress, until he is ready to dress them. You may wonder that the ladies should consent to expose their per- sons to the fingers and eyes of man: He is not man in their eyes--he is nothing but a ailor, tradesman--and what high born Der ,cn ever stopped to inquire to what sex such Dlebian belonged One would as soon think 'finqniring into the sex of the dog with whom lis wife went into the woods for w,aik, or of he cat who sleeps in my lady's chamber. Worth, a few years since, was mere shopmuan n Grangerlins shop in the Rue de Richelieu. l, He saw there the extent of feminine folly, and ieteSpined led to profit by experience. He has fl low beautiful country seat which cost him Sso,ooo. He keeps a carriage and pair equal Q anything in the Imperial stables, He has irstfate cook, has 8 cellar which is daily i'm |, rowing, and is making money as fast as pos ible. '' st...
