PAUL AND VIRGINIA,
In Their Sea.6irt Home, Shielded
Themselves From the SUMS Rays
by n Palm Leaf Robinson Crusoe,
in His Desert Island, Followed

Their Example.
Thus the parasol and umbrella have grown
TO occupy their present places of importance
among civilized nations. 1t seems singular,
when we examine our present noble structures
OF silk, steel and wood, that they should have
had their origin among such Encouth sur
roundipgs. Again we see the applicability of
the old adage about necessity being the
mother of invention. Be that as 1t may, let
them have sprung from no matter what
source, We know of no place in Washington
where such an unparalleled display of hand
some, noticeably cheap umbrellas and para.
soils may be seen as at the Palais Royal. This
store supplies with us long-felt want;
1t is New York enterprise establishing
itself In the heart of our city. Excelling as 1t
does in SO many branches, 1t is difficult to
point to any one and say OF this or that thing
they make a specially. Yet it would seem,
when we lock over the stock OF articles above
mentioned, as though truly they might be said
to have created almost a distinctive trade In
these articles. They have made corner In
silk umbrellas, and thus are enabled to offer
the same at such reduced rates and really de.
sirable bargains. Noticeably cheap among the
parasols are those elace-trimmed ones for which
The Palais Royal has become so we'll known
this season. Something entirely new In the
line OF umbrellas for gentlemen are those
known as the +" Automatic" They are a vast
Improvement over the ones generally In use
When closed the steels arrange themselves
close to the handle, and whom raised fatten

Az the man Landreau figures Q good
deal IN the 6hipherd inves1igation, and
IN the odlcial correspondence relative to
the Chili-Pesu difficulty, It'll interesting
to know who and Whist he b. There
are two brethess Of this name who APP
pear In the claim against Peru. One
the original clain,ant-js Frenchman,
and Of course lays claim - French
citisen. The other, though born in
France, china to be IN American citi-
rem by naturalization, and to have Oh
tained On interest In the Peruvian gu
ano leds through purchase from his
brother. The American Landreau Gays
he Wa naturali1ed In New Orleans, but
the records there fail to show any evil
dence Of such fact. He came t. this
country IN 1857, when ne wa q minor
'18 years Of age. He does not claim to
have been naturalixed until 1867; but
meanwhile, aud while yet an alien,
purchased q half interest in his broth
er'sclaim. 6hipherd estimates the val
ue Of the claim ct fabulous sum, but
Landreau's attorney In Washington
puts 1t ut 81 500, ONO. The various steps
taken by this Government looking to q
recognition Of the claim are linus set
forth by Washington correspondent:
In 1871 Mr.. Fish sent Minister Brant
. letter Of complaint from Landreau, to
which Mr.. Brent replied in the same
year that he doubted the right Of the
United States to use its influence In the
matter, because LandreAu had agreed
with Peru that he would ask no diplO-
matte interpretation, whereupOn Mr..
Fish wrOte Minister Little approving
his predecessors conclusion, and telling
him to do nothing.
In 1872 MI. Fish wrote Mr.. Brent,
again Minister, incloa,ng charges pre-
ferred against him by Landreau. Nr.
Brent replied refuting these, adding
chat the French government had or
dered its Minister to hold no further
communication with Theophile Lam
dreau, the French claimant. Mr.. Fish
thereui.on wrOte Mr.. Brent . second
time to take no further steps In the mat
ter. In 1873 Minister Thomas took
some interest in the claim, wrote to Mr..
Fish several times in favor Of it, and
Mr.. Fish ut last In 1874, replied that he
might use his good offices ''un0iIicially"
I'm the matter, and Mr.. Thomas, accord
ingly, in writing to the Peruvian gov
eminent about It, stated honestly that
he was mot acting under instructions
from his government, nor was he pre-
pared to make demand for the claim. "
Mr.. Evarts, upon . call from Con-
gress, simply reiterated the above facts;
but It seems that the Committee on
Foreign Affairs for the last Congress
took action looking to IN official recog-
milton Of the claim. During the 0ccu-
pancy OF the State Department by Mr..
Bl.ine the matter came very prominent
" to the front, and formed the burden
Of much Of the official correspondence.
The rest Of the case, - told by Dir.
Blaine, is familiar te the public.-Chi-
