SOMEBODY threw several stale eggs at Gen.

Lille, and NJ. Rochefort, in an amusing article
in his paper on THE Policy of Rotten Eggs -
charges Nj. Ferry with having instigated the
outrage He proposes that N. Ferry and the

other at distance of twenty-five PAGES.
GEN. BoULANGER is moving into his new house,

LABoucnERE likens Lord wolseey to Boulan-
ger. He says There is the same endeavor
on the part of each TO persuade the world that
he is q regenerator, the same contempt OF
parliamentary government, and the same puff

salt in the field is an undecided point, because
neither has had an opportunity OF showing
what he is WORTH Boulanger never having com
manded in chief. and Lord Wolseiey only hav-

seeking heroes and Moltke, the man of deeds,

Paris, and take great pleasure in declaring
that the many stories that have been circulated
about his i'll health and his wretched looks are
altogether sheer inventions. He has not high
color it is true, but then he is constltutionally
pale, and were he to look flushed it would
probably be- more omiuous of il-health than his
natural pallor. His eyes are brilliant, his voice
clear and Sonarous, and his movements are fun

nothing worth looking at in the whole city, and
quarreled and stormed at French customs and
French products all through his visit. He could
find nothing fit TO eat at any one of the famous
restaurants nor could he even come across a
hat that he considered fit to wear. He took his
departure after very few days. leaving a de-
cided sense of relief behind him In the minds Of
all his countrymen who had come in contact
with him during bis brief stay"
