Incidents of the Paris Revolt.

The decree doing away with night-work has
deprived the Parisians of fresh bread for break
fast, but it enables bakeries in the suburbs to
send in their bread in time to compete with the
Paris establishments.
When Prince Bismarck, at Ferrieres, pointed
out the danger to which the French Govern
ment was exposing itself by leaving arms in the
hands of the popalace, NJ. Favre proudly and
Indignantly answered, "Count zoe have no
populace.' The French Minister must now
admit his mistake.
-Rossel who, apart from his official posi-
ton, is regarded as the leading spirit of the
Paris revolt acquired literary celebrity by arti--
cles which he wrote tor Paris journal proving
that the works on strategy attributed to Napo-
leon by the commission named to complete
his correspondence were not and could not be
his work. Ambition is Rossel's ruling passion.
The grand total of the National Guard on
whom the Commune can count stands at 100, 425
men, of whom, on the day when the muster-roll
was made up 1852, sol answered to the call. OF
the entire number, sc, 325 belonged to the
marching legion-that is, those who are pre-
pared to go out of Paris to fight; and "a, 100 to
the Sedentary Guards, who are. mainly employed
at garrison duty.
Certain noblemen and wealthy persons in
England, says a London journal, have received
the following letter from some one signing HIM
self Delegate OF the Paris Commune:="M
Lord-By order of the Committee of Public
Safety, have come from Paris to sell the pic
lures of the Louvre at once and for cash only.
Should your lordship like to buy any of them,
your grace WOulu 10 well 10 grant me an inter-
view. This note is strictly confidential, and
rely on your lordships honor to keep my mis-
sion a secret"
Among the captives taken at Moulin Saquet,
outside Paris, was an interesting-looking young
woman, in the uniform of cdnttniere. Her
story is that some months ago she became the
wife of young man who, after the breaking
out of the civil war, was forced to serve in the
ranks of the insurgents. For eight days she
was without any iidings of him, and in her de-
spair she adopted the uniform In which she was
wounded and captured, in order that she might
visit all the outposts in search of her husband.
She had not succeeded in finding him, and she
does not know whether he is living. Had she
been successful she would have died by his side
rather than have been separated from him again.
The wound this heroine received is only slight,
and everything is being done to promote her
recovery.
-One little incident of the destruction of the
ColHmn OF the Place Vendome may be mem
toned as charmingly illustrative of the reason
able patience of the Partisan mob. The column
at first stood firm; the windlass broke; NJ
Abadie, who superintended the work demanded
two hours In which TO repair the tackle where
upon there was great popular disapprobation;
Nj. Abadie was charged with treacherous COM
plicity with the Versailles Government.
and there was loud demand that
he should be guillotined. Fortunately, for the
poor mans head, at the next stretch of the
cable the column came down. But could there
be anything more Frenchy than the sagacious
suspicion that, because M. Abadie's windlass
was too weak Tor the work, he must of neces-
slty nave been plotting with M. Theirs. There's
french revolutionary logic for you
