Paris correspondents are becoming notorious
for manufacturing astounding yarns. The
following is pretty hard to swallow:
Paris is, nevertheless, unusually gay. A
great number of foreigners have already ar
rived, and are outshining the rest Of the world
IN the brilliant extravagances SO much in
vogue here. One of these new arrivals,
Prince Nariskne. possessor of one of the
great fortunes which have caused the Russian
nobility to be received through Europe as the
modern representatives of Aladdins and For
tunatuses; happening to dine a few evenings
since with a friend who had built for himself a
| small but most elegant and charming hotel
fitted up with all the appliances of fashionable
luxury, was struck by the form of the surtout
or silver, which occupied the centre of the
table. Having expressed his admiration Of it
as work of art, he was surprised to find that
his host seemed to hold it in slight esteem
" If you care so little about it, why not sell
it to me?" said Prince Nariskine
The centre-piece matches all the rest Of
the silver" returned Count D., " and can't
sell it to you unless you buy the rest of the
service'
Every good, III buy the whole of it, re-
sponded the Prince
But if you want the silver, you must take
the china ALSO said the Count
VERY good, III buy the china also," re-
piled the Prince.
Il can't sell you the china unless you buy
the table and chars,' said the count.
"pll buy all the furniture of the room -
cried the Prince.
But the furniture could not be sold without
the house, nor the house without the stable,
nor the stable without the horses, harnesses
and carriages, and all these, one after the other,
the Prince declared himself ready to buy, but
on one condition.
Name it" said the Count.
at is thatif make this purchase the trans
fer shall be effected this very evening, so that
| may have the pleasure Of sleeping tonight
IN my new purchase, and in your bed.''
81 accept your condition." replied the
Count, who, having sent for his steward, gave
orders for the immediate removal of his ward
robe and personal effects, and the preparation
of his bed room for the reception of the new
master The steward was then ordered to
produce the plans and bills of the architect
who had constructed the hotel, the inventories
of furniture, ETC., and the receipts of the deal
ers of whom the various classes of purchases
had been made and after the Prince had
gone through these, and had agreed with the
Count to purchase the whole for 100000 a
regular bill of sale was drawn up and duly
signed and the Prince, drawing roll of bank
notes from his pocket counted out the amount
fixed upon, and handed it to his friend across
the dinner-tab!e, which neither of them had
quilted for an instant during the progress Of
this eccentric proceeding. The two gentlemen
then took cup of coffee together, the Prince
doing the lonors of the house now become his
own by pressing his guest to "take second
cup" and the Count, after an hours chat with
the Prince, took his leave, and went off to the
rooms he had caused to be taken for him at
a neighboring inn.
