Marshal Bazaine's Escape.

PARIs, August 20.-Marshal Bazainc
the Interior in which he says that neither
, Col. Nilettc nor my of the other prison
crS now in custody, are responsible for his
escape from prison. He declares that he
had no accomplices in the fort or else
where except his wife and nephew. The
Marshal describes how he cluded the
surveillance of his jailor; and in conclu-
sion says: rcscnting the humiliating
prison regulations, felt justified in an
attempt to recover my liberty. As ! was
not tried by my peers my sentence was
Illegal. 8.
Investigation N TO BazRine's Escape
At meeting of the Permanent Com
mittcc of the National Assembly to-day,
VI. Chamband La Tour, Minister Of the
Interior, in reply to an inquiry by
member of the Left, promised that the
judicial proceedings in relation to the cs-
cape Of Marshal BaZaine, should be Wig
orOusly prosecuted. He acknowledged
that there had been laXity in precau-
tions against the escape of the prisoner,
but said the investigation instituted by
the Government showed that the military
authorities ut the fort were not compro-
missed in the affair. He declined to give
any further details of the investigation.
Recognition OF Spain.
The Duke de Cuzcs, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, stated that in regard to
the recognition of Spain, that govern
mcnt was anxious to act in accordance
with other powers and would proceed in
unison with the British government
which has not yet accomplished the act
of recognition. The delay is caused by
question as to the exact form in which
that step shall be taken. The members
of the extreme Right expressed disnppro-
val of the conduct of Duke de Cazcs, but
large majority of the committee includ-
ing the Republican members, sustain his
course.

The Paris Prison of st. LazaTe and
Its Fourteen Hundred Female
Prisoners.
Correspondence of the Graphic.
PARIS, May 2O.-The difficulty of gain
ing admission as a visitor to the prisons
and asylums of Paris is so great the ef-
fort is only undertaken by the very
strong minded of either sex. If one is
foreigner he must first get a letter of
recommendation from his ambassador.
This letter must be presented to the pre-
feet of police, who resides somewhere in
the palais de justice, and n sy be found
in the course of half day if one has
the courage and strength to be sent from
pillar to post, from one Office to another
upstairs and down stairs, two or three
times around the pslais, and finally be
taken up by lobbyist, who, by dint of
questioning, becomes convinced that you
do wish to visit the Conciergerie, and
leads you to some one invested with suf
fcient authority TO give you pass.
Such was my experience, and to fortify
the remnant of my undertaking, for |
was curious to know the French method
of treating female sinners, | attached a
brave and noble hearted Irish lady to my
cause, and we set out for ST. issEare, the
one prison for women Of all ages and
degrees of crime il Paris.
1t was a perfect spring day, with the
air full of sunshine, when we passed
through the Port St. Denis and reached
the prison. Although the complete sep
aration of male aud female prisons,
and, of course, prisoners, is made so
grand feature ia the French system
that the mothers with male infants oc-
cupy a distinct apartment from those
with girl babies, yet the keeper of the
keys who conducted Us through the pris-
on was a man. All the other officials
were women-a sort Of nun regiment,
attired in long, dark WOODEN dresses,
with drapery of black and blue flowing
from the head, and lighted up with the
conventional white head bands and i'm.
mense collars.
The prison, enormous in extent, is an
old building, deerepit, excellent for
life killer, disastrous for an abode of
human or inhuman beings, high walls,
open courts planted with trees, balus-
traded stairways, dormitories full of sin.

The Courier.Journal photographs
Memphis life in the following racy
sketch:
The people who mean to leave town
have gone, and be hanged to them The
Jaded hlrt OF last winter, who declared
with many a weary heigh no" that
life, that is love making, was burden
to her, and talked romantically of A
convent, has touched up her summer
fnery and is disporting herself as lumin.
ously at the springs as erst she did al
Memphis. The young gentleman with
the striped breaches and the check
stomacher, who bore such striking
resemblance to the jack of clubs
and made such frantic efforts TO turn
himself up. at all social gatherings,
is off pursuing his vocation with
the confident hope Of picking up
an heiress before the season closes. The
Jolly little widow, who was equally ready
TO dance or cry, and who always looks
so neat and trim, has taken her deceased
husbands two fat nleces with her, and
the party is having high old time by
the seaside; the brats having been prov
identity left at home with grandma. The
solemn old gentlemen who play whist;
the somber old ladies who knit; the fiashy
bucks who affect field sports; all, all that
are going, are gone The town is left in
the possession of its solid and good
people. Those of us who remain are
beautiful and pure-the bone aud sinew
of the community. We taste the sweets Of
duty done; each day sees us rise with the
lark, work with the busy bee and go to sleep
like angels to dream of paradise. Is it
warm? Yes, truly, at times it is ex-
treme sultry; but what care we? We
cool ourselves within the broad shadows
which spread about our virtues. In the
city there are no gnats nor wood-ticks,
nor bees nor briers, nor heas nor flies,
nor lice nor lizards, nor anything but
gentle and self-sacrifcing affections.
Those that remain slave their fingers to
the bone in order that those who are
gone may enjoy themselves. Sweet
thought The town is full of poetry
and love. See the twittering caterpillars
as they glide softly among the leafy
boughs, leaping, like elephants, from
limb to limb; the picturesqe water cart
as it moves through the street as musical
as the nightingale; the street car, so mys-
terious and so silent, reminding one of
the mountain torrent that finds its home
in the deep solitudes of the setting
sun; do they not arouse the soul of the
dray-driver and the clerk of the corner
grocery into a sublime ecstasy? And
shall we, home bound as we are by the
sacred ties of impecuniosity, shall we
murmur when we gaze with eagle glance
and demoDiac stare about US and behold
these gorgeous manifestations of our
eyer-present city tax collector? No;
from every sewer and ash-pile the answer
comes in thunder tones. We are not
disturbed by the roar of the ocean. We
need not go for walk in the forest. If
we have any love.making to do we do it
on the front steps; and, in lieu of water,
have we not our own reinvigoratlng and
cooling Bourbon? Then there are the
beer gardens.
