PARIS, January 4. 1881.

The most patent result of the Raus
tan Rochetort trials 10. that 1t has
made the fortune of the IntrGnSi-
geant, RoGhefort's paper, one of the
main chances be had in view, As
well as shoEing up, how the friends
or sympathisers of Gambetts, con-
duct themselves when in office.
Although the country is disgusted at
the whole affair, it has not the slight
est intention of restoring TuhisiA 10
the Independent hey. For the me-
ment the question IL, what 10 do with
Ranstsn? No sympathy is ielt for
the mao, whose morality was of so
low type. as 10 live in aduIterous
relations with the wife OF bis chief
secretary. and to be mixed up with
al KINGS OF fshy affairs. But his
defeat has It's rebound On sbe govern
meUt. hence the euperhuman efforts
N sde by the Otiiclous apress, TO rep
resent Raustan as the undeserved
victim OF every jealous patriotism; it
is hiuted. that to remove him from
the scene OF his lsbors, would be to
alluw England. Italy. ETC., to tri-
umph This kind OF writing does
not draw.
The publications OF the Bokhos
papers is disappointment. Gam
betta's evening organ, Paris. has OBJ
tanned the right TO print them. There
is nothing to aet either the Seine or
the Tiber on fire. The creature who
calls himself Bokhos is a Syrian; one
OF those nise hammered men as
ever scuttled ship or cut tnreat.
He started 8 journal to crack up the
Arabs Of TuniBia and the frontier re-
glOns, 10 love the Italians, not the
French, as their true friends, etc.
However. it does not appear 80 fa-,
that either the Italian government
subsidized TIE paper, Or that its
counsel, Maccio, supplied il with
copy. One OF the clerks OF the con-
sulate did send articles from time to
time blowing the horn tor Italy; it
would be surprising had be pulled
France. Boknos not finding enough
corn In Egypt, went over to the Rous-
tan camp, proving his zeal by bring.
ing with him the proofs, that Italy
was laboring tor her self, not for
France. in Tunisia. Roustan at
tsched Bokhos TO bic consulate; later,
employed h's Swiss zeal on a paper
published in Paris, 70 demonstrate to
he Arabs, that the French no, the
Italians, were the finest peasantry
under the sun. After having the
BOkhos papers photographed for
Gambetta's private archives, for the
premier never destroys a document,
and the knowledge of this fact keeps
many public men quiet, they were
sold to some patriotic banker, tor
"a, 600 francs, who the fit over,
would be glad to have his money
back.
How TO pass an evening at the
stre without the prospect OF being
burned. is the problem now absor-
bing attention. The commander OF
FIRE brigade solemnly asserts, that a
conhagration in a Paris theatre like
that up Vienna. is impossible, and
states his desire to perish If such
ever did happen, In the flames.
People not anxious TO follow in his
wake. and remembering the city
theatres that have been destroyed,
hope he will never relax in compel.
ling the presence of his men ct every
public spectacle. They demand the
police to do their duty. Some mana
gers are making new exits and open
Ing built up doors; others decline to
do anything; the police have no
power TO compel lessses 10 adopt
ameliorstions, but they clinch the
matter by exercising the right to de-
clare such building dangerous, and
so prevent the public from entering.
That the project OF police means busi-
ness is shown blythe fact, that heihas
called upon tho Municipal council,
who are the proprietors OF the three
largest theatres IN tha city, 10 exc
cute within one modth, changes 10
enhance the security of the spectA-
tore, and tost will involve an ex-
pense of over halt a million francs.
In another case, the project has
closed theatre having a wall OF Troy
of entrance.
Duels are on the increase, not q
day bat one or two come of; gener-
ally the origin of the quarrel may be |
attributed to political differences;
LADY was in the case. Gam
beta will never have to resort to the
severe measures adopted by Richie
lieu to prevent the young blood OF
his day from mutual determination.
The cardinal decapitated all combat
ants imdortiRlly. The population
then suffered from duels, because the
fights were serious and it was rare
that the termination was not fatal.
Now, all is farce, and the best way
TO extinguish them would be for the
journals to make no mention OF the
which usually wind up
with honor being satisfied, after an
received prick In the
thumb. The meets are now go open,
that friends are invited to look on.
Soon cafe walters will sell passes to
witness the fun.
