a PARISIANS BEAUTY'S RE-
VENICE.

An English m~archioness, resident
in the Legitimist faubo,g during the
declining days Of the last Empire,
and avoiding the Napcleonites al
''low," gave grand parties. To one
Of these, an English lady took, unin.
vited, a pretty French woman, q
friend of the Empress. The pretty
woman made herself conspicuous by
her prettiness and her fiirtations but
the marchioness found out who she
was, and was disguised. She said to
her.
81 am so conscious of the honor
you have done me in visiting me,
that / dare not expect a repetition Of
the unexpected compliment"
Tie pretty woman grew pale, but
smiled, and ordered a cavalier to or
3D. aF saiaaa
was clever, and fnessed a revenge
She bribed the marchioness' 8 femme
de chambre to give her the list of
guests invited for the next soiree.
Armed with this she prepared a cir
cular note, whsch she dispatched to
each of the invited late in the after
noon of the appointed day-''The
m~archioness presents her compliments
to SO and so, and regrets that a do
nestle calamity will prevent her,"
etc. She then went to q great ''Mad
Doctor" repre- senting herself as the
daughter of the marchioness, and act
ing with the consent of her la~dyship's
family; she represented that her
mother, the marchioness, was afiict-
ed with insanity. and her madness
was in the delusion that she was al
ways having great parties. For in
stance, if monsieur the doctor would
60 to her la~dyship's hotel that even
ing he would find her dressed in
splendor, with the saloon illuminated
adorned with refreshments.
The doctor went, on the under
standing that he was to obtain the
proper police authority to take the
marchiones to a Maison de Sante in
the event of the representation made
to him being confirmed by his own
observation. He arrived at ten in
the evening he was the frst-the
only guest ; and though the marchlon-
ess did not remember his name she
took it for granted that she had in
vited him, and was profusely civil.
His manner puzzled, and his ques-
tons startled her, and rs he grew
more abrupt as his perception Of her
lunacy became more clear, she was
at last offended, and rang for her SER
wants. At the same time he made
the proper intimation of his police au-
thority !; and the end of the story is,
that she was taken off by the doctor
In Mysteries, and detained as a pris-
oner in his asylum until the whole
truth came out. All Paris was in
roars, and the pretty firt was q hero
inc for ever. Protected by her an
gust friend, she escaped retaliation
a British marchioness is too grand for
wit.

The First Meeting of the Potter Invesfi
cation Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-At the meeting Of
the Potter investigation committee to day,
no formal proposition was submitted from
either side in regard to the scope that should
be given to the committees on inquiries.
The republican members claimed, however,
that they ought to be informed by the
majority at the outset what are to be the
limits in the investigation, in order that
they may make their preparations accord
ingly. Several members of the majority ex-
pressed themselves i'm favor OF confnlDg the
Investigation to Louisiana and Florida, but
there was no general expression OF views on
that point, and with a view to considering
the question among themselves the majority
suggested an adjournment until Wednesday
next, which was agreed to, and an answer to
the minority will probably be given at that
time.
