THE other day Mrs. Langtry arrived At
the French capital, along with her reti-
nue., with the intention of perfecting her
self in the dramatic art under the guidance
of the veteran professor of acting. NJ. Reg
nier. Her retinue was smaher when she
first came than it was during her AmerI-
can tour. but it has at length been In
creased to its normal size by the appear

suddenly, but not unexpectedly, arrived
in Paris. Whether he too intends 10 study
for the stage under VI. Regnier Is not yet
known. but the newspaper writers have
already begun 70 evince great interest in
the English beauty and the millionaire
American. and il is likely that young Mr..
Gerhard will succeed in his evident at

Now that the Shapiro documents have
been clearly proved to be forgeries, tie
question arises as TO what ought TO be
done with Shapiro for his sinful audacity
in getting them up. 1t is suggested in
England that he should be punished in
some wav or other. But he claims to be

the Arab has neither business office nor
family residence, and as any particular
Arab is as hard to catch and identity as a
wild ostrich. there is little probability
that justice will be meted out IN this case.

Younger members of the party rOmped

department. They were in charge of Ben
Miles, who said he was taking them from
North Fork. Indian Territory, to West
Branch. Iowa. where he intended to place
them in a private institution of learning

given a three years course at the expense
of the government.
Mr.. HOLMAN, of Indiana. relates this
anecdote Of stephen 4. Douglas: During
the Charleston convention in 1860 he, with
another friend Of Mr.. Douglas, was with
the latter at his room. At length Mr..
Douglas received a dispatch, which he
read to himself and then pacing across
the room came to a table, when he reread
the dispatch, and evidently unconscious
for the moment that any person was pre-
sent. smOte the table with his fist, eX-
claiming: This means disunion, by -"
Turning around and noticing his two
friends present, he attempted to smooth
over his sudden ebulliton Of feeling, and
remarked TO the gentlemen he was gener-
ally selEpOssessed and undemonstrative,
but, supposng no one was present, he
thus gave expression to the emotion
caused by the dispatch. He handed it to
