The following from recent Paris and Vi
emma papers say that James Gordon Ben
nett, a very rich American, has settled
himself 10 the former residence of Henry
ives. His extravagances, made light of by
the ownership of millions, have not in any
degree been damaged for example, BEN
nett engaged Vienna Capelmeister Strauss,
with his entire company, at an honorary of
lao, 900 francs, to come to Pau, where he
played o series Of concerts, at which all
Pau were guests. Mackay, the American
nabob, who, with his ~soirees, costumed
balls, etc., has turned all Paris, came with
his wife to honor them. Bennett arranged
a ball, engaging private express trains,
which brought from Paris and other cities
and also from the neighborhood of Pau q
brilliant company. The people called the
ball 1.-THE Diamond Ball" for, at no op-
portunity, save this INT here. was it posi-
BILE to behold such wealth OF diamonds.
Mrs. Mackay's treasures Of jewelry almost

a picture of Miss Macksy for the Paris Sa-
Ion this season. She is represented as a
young girl with fair hair, in white dress
against a blue ground, with a halo round
her head. The work is said to remind one

tainted Dead Away.
New YORK, May 13.-The Herald says
that the most astonished man in all New
York yesterday was Samuel Stevens, an
honest working man, living in East Sixth
street. who recently returned from Cali
fornia, where he had been a miner. His
wife, whom he had married about one year
ago, presented him at 5 O'Clock in the
morning with a bouncing boy. Before he
could fairly express his satisfaction, q
bright little girl came into the world. He
was still in a dazed condition, when a Sec
ond daughter was announced. This COM
plicated and serious aspect of the event
was altogether too much for him, and the
poor man tainted dead away. He told q
Herald reporter afterwards hat he was
sorry that he did not hang on to his Sierra
Nevada stock, Of which he held 100 shares,
before the great panic which forced him to
sell out.
Charles Pelham, who was brought from
Salt Lake on Wednesday, will be taken to
England on one Of the steamers which
sails on Saturday, in custody Of Detective
D~uZenbury. A Times reporter was per-
mitted to converse with the prisoner in
his cell. He did not seem unpleassntly
affected by the prospect of an involuntary
trip to his native land. He says he ia in
nocent OF the charge made against him,
knows nothing about it, and claims that
he will be able to prove his innocence.
When the forgery was committed he was
in Philadelphia. Pelham said he was
treated with the greatest kindness and
consideration while in Utah, and had the
sympathy Of the entire community.
