From Paris Letter.
The Rue lie t:haillot is one Of the quieie.t
streets in Paris. il is one Of the hest quarters
near the Champs Elysrss aud the Arch
and within an easy walk Of the veriani
Bois. To-day, however, il is in = state Of
commotion; carriages are driving up to one
Of the Pr~ttie-t houses and then forming in
long file in the Avenue Josephine after they
have set down. There is crowd about the
