Nine. Theirs, NJ. le Prefet of the Department
of the Seine and others, who were gesticulat-
ing quite wildly M. IL Prefet was called to
order once for the enthusiasm with which he
applauded M. Theirs. The House was
crammed almost to suffocation, every avail
able nook and corner being occupied by per-
sons interested in the debates and debaters.
LADIES IN THE GALLERIES.
There were number of elegantly dressed
ladies also in the building, who were intently
gazing upon the scenes beneath from their
loqes griuks in the ceiling; and the occasional
movement of fan, the emotional uplifting Of
hand or the waving of spotless handker-
chief, showed how deeply interested they we're
in the affairs that were being enacted below.

In the diplomatic tribune could be dis
cerned, among others, Prince Orlof, the
Minister Plenipotentiary of Russia near the
Republican Court, having one eye as wide
open as his astute superior Gortschakoff,
while the place where the other eye should
have been was covered by black patch which
appeared to mourn for the member lost on the
field of duty at the Crimean struggle. Near
him sat La Dame Pourtales, celebrated
beauty of the late Napoleon's Court; Madame
Broet and Madame Rennville. All the ladies
remained till the end of the political cere-
monies, which terminated at midnight.
