RAISED THEIR HANDS IN HOLY HORROR
And cried out with indignation at the idea
of grocery keepers son occupying this
ducal palace, in which had dwelt only the
noble and aristocratic, without rejecting
that generation further back these same
dukes and princes could claim no more dis.
tinguished origin, and from which they
were elevated more by luck than by talent.
The departure of Gambetta from the
Palais d'0rsay. seems almost farewell
farewell to greatness and change to
simple lodgings must have produced more
or less disagreeable impressions on one
whose appreciation of the good things OF
this world is renowned. Probably it is
his intention to return to life OF
soberness and simplicity, and thereby re.
gain the confidence of that portion of the
peoplethat have become estranged from him.
The artistic and literary world at Paris
has been very much grieved over the mis-
fortune which has befallen the spirituel
dissenateur Andre Gill. He has become
SUDDENLY INSANE,
And little hope is entertained of his re
covery. All Parisians have been in the
habit of looking forward each week with
pleasure and impatience for the apra;ition
of the Journal Amasant, on whose first
page was always to be found drawing by
Gill. This drawing was composed of but
very few outlines, scarcely scratch of the
pen yet what expressive interest No one
seemed to possess the secret of rendering
the exquisite forms of the stylish Partisan
woman as did he. Each drawing was
chef deuvre, and underneath were
words as few and as expressive as the lines
of the drawing above. His talent was
thoroughly Partisan, and naught but
Parisians could perfectly comprehend the
delicate perfume of wit and philosophy
which pervaded his work. They were fine
criticisms of certain naoeurs peculiar to
the French capital, and their absence will
produce void much regretted by all lovers
of intellectual feasts. Andre Gill was in the
act of drawing the caricature of Jules
Ferry, Minister of Public Instruction,
Cultes and Beaux Arts, when with sigh
of pain he fell back in his chair, and in a
few moments after began talking in such
came alarmed. 1t required some time,
however, to convince them that he had
really lost his mind, and it was only on
Gills leaving for Bruxelles and his strange
conduct there that they decided to consult
medical authority. He had been engaged
to draw caricatures of political men in the
Nouvetle Lime, a new paper just come ont,
and although Mr.. Jules Ferry was the first
victim to be sacrificed, this last can scarcely
be 80 cruel as to consider the incident as
righteous punishment. Since then Mr..
Andre Gill has done naught but
TALK OF HIS MYTHICAL MILLIONS,
And in order to get him to the physicians,
and after that to the asylum, his friends
have allowed him to believe that he was
on the road to purchase a private hotel or
a chateau in the country. He at one time
made his escape from the carriage, and

anxious searching, found him in some

suade him to follow them. Jealousy often

very much exercised over Coquelin Cadets
success in the world, whom he knew poor
and miserable as he himself was at one
time. Coquelin Cadet has since become
societaire of the Theatre Francais he has,
beside, fine income from money saved,
owns property, and is paid high price to
recite comical verses in private salons.
Gill has earned much money also, for his
caricatures have commanded good sum,
but he has been improvident, and having
spent money as fast as he made it, he al
ways felt himself poor. His remarks and
exclamations since his misfortune prove
how much Coquelin Cadets success has
preyed upon his mind. Andre Gill is
pseudonym, and the real name of the
spirituel artist is Gosset de Guines.
