Curious ParIsian Gossip About Ste.
phens, the Renlan Lender

A Paris correspondent of a Western
journal furnishes the following: fls
James Stephens is living at No. 20
Romney street, at Montmartre, where
he seems to bequite comfortable, hav-
ing his wife and brother-in-law with
him, which does not prevent him from
complaining OF his poverty.
A few days ago one OF his country
men, who had not penny, came to So
licit his aid. have nor n dollar, my
lad, replied he, tbut come with me,
perhaps may procure some help for
you" On the road they met a passer-
by. whom stephens declared to be
an old acquaintance of his, and, leav-
ing his helpless companion, he chatted
for an instant with his "frhend.'
Here" said Stephens, returning to the
1rishman, "here are i've francs: this
gentleman has lent me ten; it is all 1
have-let us share" This said, Ste
phens left his companion. The latter a
short time after was near a carriage
stand, and to his surprise saw Stephens
engage one and get in. Our Irishman
considered II odd that man who had
but five francs should engage a carriage
at fifty sous an hour. He seated him
self patiently near the carriage stand,
and waited till either the carriage or
Stephens should return. At the end OF
three hours the carriage returned. Ste
phens had paid for the three hours.
Another fact still more serious, Is that
Stephens visits the English embassay
in secret. What does he do there?
