COURT NEWS.
All is gaety at the Tuieries. Both the emperor
and empress seem in excellent spirits, notwith-
standing the European troubles The last ball at the
imperial court was most splendid affair but
think Ineyer was at ball where politics were more
talked about. Monsieur de Persigny seemed also
in very flowing spirits, and to hear him, he has
found ont the means of pleasing all parties Nous
ce1vons. The two sons of Emir Abd.e-Kader
were the lions of the evening Both the emperor
and the empress remained long time in conversa-
tion with the young Arabs, who both speak French
fluently. They have been sent to France to finish
their education. They were presented to the en-
peror and empress by Monsieur Lesseps, of Suez
canal reputation.
| RACES EVERYWHERE.
The French are now for horse racing, and not
withstanding the pre-occupations of the moment,
thousands and thousands go to witness the feas Of
the wonderful horses, Forentine, the winner of
the French Derby at Chantilly, and Cy!ors which
won the prize Of %, 900 francs on Sunday last.
The lower orders, deprived of lotteries, dabble
in the chances of the turf and many poor mans
family has to go without bread because the father
has rsked his daily earnings at the betting office.
Some twenty years ago it was a pretty sight to
visit the different fetes held around Paris, when
the youth Of the capital used to spend the evening
in the pleasures of the dance Now this is fast dis
appearing, and everything is neglected for the
races of La Marche and Vincennes
THE EMPEROR AND LA BELLE ISABELLE.
| Who has been in Paris, and does not know and
has not seen La Belle Isabelle, the bouquetiere or
nosegay dealer, who generally sits in the lobby of
the Jockey Club of the capital. She is as yrtuous
as she is beautiful. If mistake not, | told you
some months ago of her brave conduct in defend
ing herself against rufian who tried to rob her
on her way home. Isabelle is now to be seen
every Sunday either at the races of La Marche
beyond st. Cloud, or at the Bois de Boulogne, of.
fering her nosegays to gentry who now take such
pleasure in the Anglo-Saxon sport. .-s.
The belle boaqltetiere meeting the emperor 4
few days ago near the grand stand on the Bois de
Boulogne, offered him nosegay with somewhat
trembling hand, it the first time she had had
the honor Of meeting the ruler of France, who
accepted the offer with gracious smile, putting
his hand into his pocket with the intention, nc
doubt, of presenting her with handsome gra
