raid INTO Canada, and a still more dis
astrous attempt at "rising" in IIe=I
| land. -both which had no other result
than TO get some scores of dashing
Ilishmen into prison. for life, and to
make English rule in Ireland more re-
lentless than ever.
The Paris correspondent OF the New
York Times thus describes a Sunday
breakfast at the Restaurant Omnibus,
in the Camp de Mars:
"This great restaurant, which is on
the system of the great Sweeny OF Paris,
Duval, was intended for the delegations
Of working people OF various conn
tries; but found plenty Of others who
did not object TO an economical break-
fast. Igive you the actual prices In
cents, though, as the soul Is not quite
cent, they are fraction lower nap nap
kin, cent; bread, 4 cents; winet cents
a tumbler, or 16 cents u bottle; beef
broth, 3 cents, soups, 4 cents; boiled
beef or ham, cents; roast beef, NUT
ton, &C.. & cents vegetables, 4 cents; cof-
fee and brandy, cents. This Is by no
means the cheapest living to be found
in Paris, but one gets fair dinner for
20 cents, and for % cents fares luxuri-
ously. But il you do not like 1t, you
have only to walk to the other extrem-
ity Of the grounds TO find In the mag
nificent restaurant OF the International
Club dinner for francs which will
satisfy all our requirements, and all
intermediate prices at intermediate
places. Then you can finish of with an
tce.cream and sherry cobbler, and be
served by an experienced corps of
American citizens of African descent,
expressly imported to exhibit the adap-
tations OF the race and the accomplish
ments of les gGTcO1sS AJIicdfnS"
While the rest of Europe is busy in
recognizing it's armies and expert
menting with breech leaders, Italy
alone is turning its attention solely to
an establishment of its government on
a sound peace basis. Brought to con-
dition closely bordering on financial
ruin by former errors Of administra-
ton, it now seeks by economy in the
war establishment and In other ways to
regain a solvent position. Unfortu-
nately, 1t does not seem yet in fair
way to accomplish this very desirable
object, and the new minister OF finance,
Ferrara, inspires no confidence. More
than this, the newly formed cabinet
have been quarreling among themselves
about disCreditable matter, which a
due regard for their own dignity would
have led them to keep from the public.
This affair is still the topic Of the day
IN Florence, and as it is curious in
stance Of the fashions of modern con-
tinental courts, we copy the account
given by the correspondent of an Eng
lish paper:
1.-THE Pepoli-Rattazzf affair is still the
general talk here. Many incorrect YER
sions Of the story have been circulated
by the press, and am enabled on very
good authority to give you the real facts
of the case. When the capital was
transferred from Turin to Florence
Signor Rattazzi took up his resi-
dence in the latter town
AT Turin his wife, Notwithstanding the
scandalOus stories which were afloat
about her when she was Mdme. Solms-
Buonaparte, was very well received In
the notoVer-particular society of Victor
Enmanueps court; but the high-born
ladies of Florence were more scrupu-
lous, and refused her admittancer to
their salons. Mdme. Rattazzi re-
venged herself by writing letters to the
Court of Frankfort, which represent
ed the leaders of Florentine society in
anything but favorable colors, and q
few weeks ago she published a sort of
New Atlantis under the title of
'Bicheville,' in which the ladies in
question were described, under trans
parent aliases, as hypocrites who pre-
tended to be deyotees in public and led
a life of scandalous dissipation in pri-
vate. This production, whose author
ship was easily discovered, caused a
storm OF indignation amongst the la
dies against whom it was directed, es-
pecially as they were now compelled to
visit Mdme. Rattazzi, her husband hav-
ing become prime minister. The result
was that some hot words passed be-
tween Rattazzi aud MN. Pepoli, Mar
liani, and La Marmora, whose wives
had been the most severely attacked lin
'Blcheville.' Pspoli even sent Rattazzi
a challenge; bat the King having inter-
fered, 1t was decided to settle the affair
by court of honor. On the side of
| Rattazzt the arbiterS were Cadorna, the
senator, and General Brignone, and on
that OF Pepoli, Count Arese and General
Bixto. This court decided that u duel
was inevitable, and that 1t ought to
take place within forty.eight hours.
The King, however, positively forbade
duel, and here the matter for the
| present rests" rgE
