The Lontsg7ae ssys that one thousand
million francs is an awful big price for
the people to ray for getting gulIible
Austrian Arehduke shot in Mexico.
An enterprising lady in Paris hires
babies, which she rents out, handsomely
dressed up, to members of the denat-
monde, it being fashionable for the latter
10 drive out in the Bots de B0ulOgne with
their little ones. Twenty francs an hour

The Cracow Gas, paper published
ia the Polish language, speaks in a rather
iii-natnreG manner Of Russia and Amer
lea. See,n it says, 4" the MuseoFite
barbarian arm in arm with the Republic
can strumpet of the United States.
Which Of the two is more worthy Of
loathing and contempt?p The editor OF
the Gas used to be a reporter OF the
New York Herald and q clerk at the
New York customhouse.
At one OF the last sittings OF the
Austrian Reichsrath there transpired
very tumuItu0us scene in consequence OF
Represe ntstive Rechbauer's dispsrsging
remarks on the Austrian army. since
IS4S two thousand million forms have
been spent for the Austrian army" he
exclaimed; " and what has been the re-
suit? Nothing. The army is unable to
protect the Austrian territory" is
false ~ cried an officer sitting on one OF
the benches on the right. False :" ex-
claimed Reehbauer, " why, could we not
see the Prussian helmets from the spire
Of st. Stephens? And that in spite of
our alliances, and in q struggle with q
power inferior to US in strength Think
of il, gentlemen, two thousand millions
for such an army 1" Loud cheers and
Kisses burst forth, and the speaker was
unable TO proceed for several minutes.
French newspaper men remem Der
no such sudden success as that OF henri
de Rochefortis L07ltegTie, considering
that the whole paper is written by the
editor. that not sou is spent for adver-
Using. and that the Minister of the In
terror has forbidden the neWsdealers in
the ki0sEs to sell it. Ofthe second num-
her SO. 600 copies were sold on Saturday
afternoon ia Paris. When the sfore-
mentioned order Of the Minister OF the
Interior was promulgated, the Paris re-
tail booksellers ordered 10000 copies
more, OF the third number, 10000 copies
were sold two hours after it was out.
This extraordinary success is achieved
bv NJ. de Rochefort's touching with his
drsadfulIy sharp pen the sorest spots OF
BenepsTtis.n, which all the other news
papers have hitherto studiOusiy refT2Ined
from abiding to. For instance, he SHOWS
that Maupas and Persigny, both leading
Innperiaiists, originally assumed titles OF
nobility without any right to do so what
ever. He says Persiguy is g heavy bur
den to the French taxpayers, and calls
his welI-known letters to the RdtF1e the
hight of impudenee in man who ad-
nitted before the Chamber or Peers that
he would have murdered poor Dona-
nier lieutenant at the tJdSco OF the Bou-
Iogne expedition but for the eoWardice
of the latter. He alludes again and
again to the doubts concerning the
legitimacy of Napoleon's birth, and says
that the discrimination at the French
Mairies in favor Of legitimate children,
which are registered there for two francs,
vhiIeseven francs and half are charged
for registering Legitimate cAiidren, Is
utterly inexplicable in an age which
sees SO many illegitimste children Hour
ishing in eminent positions. He asks,
also, why the equestrian statue OF the
Duke of Orlesng, which used TO aGorn
the place in front Of the Louvre, is hid
Gen in a miserable court yard at Yer
ssiIIes, TO which nobody l5 admitted.
He relates, also, that Charles Eoissons
nier, last winter, asked permission. OF the
Minister OF Public Instruction to deliver
q few public lectures on Tie modern
French drama, and that NJ. Duruy
granted the request on condition that
the lecturer should never once men
ton Vietor HugO's name, which the
lecturer positively refused to promise.
The foolish articles on the death of Ma
poIeon's favorite dog Nero, which APP
Desred in the semi official papers, are
ridiculed by the following item Nero
the EmpeTOr's dog, has left extensive
; memoirs , for reasons which il Is not
difficult to comprehend, these postum
nous memoirs viii not be published
until sixty years after Nerc's death"
