WHAT BECOMES OF THEM.

It's said that life in the Fifth avenue is
constantly changing, and that when fresh
paruenu comes in somebody must be going
out. The question may naturally arise what
becomes Of these decaying gentry, and the
reply is that they generally 60 to ruin un-
less their course be delayed by the patronage
of friends. The children of our once richest
families have been found dwelling in tene-
mcnt houses, and sometimes at still lower
depth. / know that son of one of our
first-class families died some time ago in the
almshouse of this city. Luxury proven rbially
exhausts that capacity and efficiency which
are necessary in the battle of life.

SPECIAL TO NEW YORK PRESS.
New YORK, Aug. TO-
Gaillardet telegraphs from Paris to the
Courier Des Etats Unis this morning of
AN INTERVIEW WITH NJ. CuEyREAN,
minister of the Interior.
lie claims that dispatches, which, by
special favor, have been permitted to
send to New York, have been transmitted
back to Prussia to the detriment of our
operations.
He further assured me that the chief
ofthe Berlin police had perfected arrange
ments for receiving, the moment they
were published, dispatches sent from
France to Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzer-
land and America, which dispatches
would be Immediately forwarded to the
Prussian headquarters.
These dispatches have made the enc
my acquainted with projected movements
on our part, and informed them as re
CARDS the strength Of our forces at Ger
tain points.
1t consequently follows that Bazaine
feels compelled to interdict publishing all
army news, except such as emanated
from his headquarters.
He, the minister of the Interior, will
furnish such dispatches as are suitable.
The minister added that Bazaine had
said he feared telegraphed indiscretions,
which made known strategetical move
ments to the enemy, less than the de
moralziug effect produced upon the peo-
pie by the making known to their fami-
lies the names of the killed in the battles
Though our army has suffered severe
ly, the
CONCENTRATIONS UPoN CHALoYS
is being accomplished. Ifnothing unex-
pected happens our forces viii be there in
three days. There is very much confu-
sion in the dispatches from the army.
While advantages are announced as
having been gained at various points, no
mention is made of a decided victory
having been achieved over the enemy.
Manifestly Bazaine is attempting to
stave off battle until reaching Chalons,
where he can be joined by rcinforcements.
| infer from the dispatches that our
forces are
RErREATING IN THREE COLUMNS,
and that as often as one is attacked the
others 90 to its assistance, and having
repulsed the enemy then move on again.
Five battles have been fought since the
l4th, and five times we have repulsed the
enemy.
The advantages we gained over the
foe at Gravelotte, Mars lie Tour and
Doncourt recall the glories Of the French
campaigns Of 1914.
Frossard and Bataille are wounded, the
latter previously.
The armies of Frederick Charles and
Won Steinmetz have been decimatea, but
reinforcements for them are constantly
arriving.
McMahon, with part Of his advance
guard, has arrived at Vintry lie Franchise.
Two divisions have been dispatched to
protect his retreat to Chalons.
We securely hold Strasburg, Pfalzburg
and Thionville.

MAT HoUsToN, commander of this new

statement, published in the Republican,
in a recent issue, and which we transfer
red to our columns last week. The Lit
tie Rock will be as much white man 5
boat as any other: and black men will
be treated just as well as on any other
boat-he will occupy his proper place
and no other:
EDITOR REPUBLICAN There appeared
in your paper some days ago an errone-
Gus account Of little affair that OCCUR
red on the steamer Little Rock, in refer
ence to a colored individual by the name
of Wheeler. AS | am engaged solely in
the business of steamboating, and un-
willing that either myself or boat should
be involved in any political misunder-
standing, request that the error be cor
rected. | do not know your informant,
but he certainly misrcprcsented the case.
There was no attempt or threat to throw
the man overheard, nor any disturbance
whatever The account in the Gazette,
Immediately after your publication was
substantially correct Wheeler behaved
himself with propriety, so far as ! know
and was treated in a proper manner, as
all are who travel with me.
Respectfully,
NJ. HousroN, Mast Little Rock.
