SCANDAL FROM PARIS.

The London CORES spondent OF the New
York Times writes:
The gossip from Paris just now is
curious mixture OF scandal and politics.
They say the Rothschilds prompted
MacM anon to tight; and found The mon
ey for the elections; and that Lord Bea-
c0nsfeld took the trouble to express
sympathy with the President. Now,
however, it is said the Barons of FL
nance and the English Premier advise
MacMahon to resign. Grevy, they say,
can not accept the Presidency because
he is separated from his wife.
An official effort at reconciliation has
been made, but without avail There is
another lady whom they call Nine.
Grevy, but French society declines to
receive her, and the President must
have a lady to preside over his parJies.
A sister or o daughter might get over
the difficulty. Admiral Potnuan is now
| the most likely man for the Presidential
chair. The popular idea that women
have not sufficient power in these days
| is Il curious fiction. The Empress OF the
French made and ruined impe iialism.
The Empress OF Russia precipItated
the Russo Turkish war. La Marechale
Mac Mahon is the cause OF the present
troubles in France. The Duchess of
