PARIS. April > Parisians have been Of
late sufficiently supplied with conversa-
tional matter by three events Of no small
inheritance A change of Ministry, the
Berlin conference and the resignation
of Prince Bismarck Ii is true that we are
more than hirse on Ministerial changes,
and the last crisis was a particularly MID
one. as il was solely directed against the
head of the dcfunct Cabinet, NJ. Ilraru.
All of the members of the late Ministry
have seats i'm the new one, with the eXcep-
ton of three whose places are taken by NJ
NJ DeveQe. julius Roche and Ribot The
st-Daned is Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and during his occupancy of that office the
honors will be done quad Or sag by an
American lady. his wife.
NJ. de Freyciuet, the new Premier. IS
for the fourth time Prime Minister; ms
career is too well known 10 be retraced
here Little can be said. at present, of the
future movements of the Chamber of lSS9
Thus far it has not done much mischief,
and that is perhaps the best compliment
that can be paid To- It.
Fifty members of the Right have made
"a move toward Cancellation with the he
public by forming the Constitutional group,

this form of Government. but only It's acts
as they agree more or less with conser-
vative notions. This is wise policy, Tor
the probability of mOnarchial restora-
ton seems more and more remote.
Count dc Paris is not popular man, and
as "a prctender TO the throne does not de
serve To be So Considered as private
gentleman. he is undoubtedly worthy of all
esteem; considered as a pretender, he IS a
notable political failure The coup dc tctc
of his son. the Duke of Orleans has of
course caused quite tiutter OF excitement
I'm the noble faubOurg. and 10 is almost
useless to add that the boyish freak of the
Prince has made him quite popular IN all
classes.
His betrothed. the Princes Marguerite
d'Orleans. has also her large share of pub
lie sympathy: youth and beauty with dash
of chiyall'v ALWAYS find admirers. even In
this dav of reason and positive fact. To
those. however who look at things in a
more prosaic and perhaps more sensible
manner. the contemplated marriage be-
tween the son and heir of the Count de
Paris with the daughter of the Duke dc
Chartres. brother of the Pretender, APP
pears. if l may so express myself, as an
ovcr-knottiug of family ties.
The Count dc Paris married his first
cousin. daughter of the late Duke of Mont
pensicr: his brother, the Duke de Char
tres. married also his first cousin, daughter
of the Prince dc JOinville; and, more, the
children of these two brothers married
to first cousins are going TO be united IN
wedlock This is initiating the example
of the Rothschilds with vengeance. The
betrothed Prince and Princess are in fact
almost as near of kin as if they We're
brother and sister. Princess Marguerite IS
"a very charming girl, simple, unaffected
and of a very sweet disposition. She IS
few days older than her tiance.
The young Duke d'Orleans resembles
very much King Louis Philippe I'm tea-
lures. but, happily for the present, at least
seems TO prefer the sword TO the legendary
umbrella of his great grandsire.
The resignation of Prince Bismarck has
almost withdrawn public interest from the
Berlin conference. The deputation sent by
the French Government only counts one
name known to fame; that is jules Simon,
IA distinguished economist and philosopher,
member of the French Acadamy. Senator
and. last but not least. a journalist OF re
nown. The power of the press i'm France
is almost increditable; very few are the
Frcnchmen of any notoriety who do not be-
long TO that great institution As the say
ing goes: ''ic joiuuHliSmc meme tout % con-
dtiOn d'CI S0Hir.
