THE SORROWS OF AIxEE AYHARD.
I Charming Nile. Aimee Aymard Of the
! Theaber Eldorado hes had suit brought
I against her By the cold-hearted and franc
/ hunting hrm OF LeyvasEre 81 Co, VINO de-
manded from her the payment Of 5i,72O
/ francs. This sum is asserted by the plant
I IFS 70 be the amount of bill due them for
certain delicious little trifes Of feminine ap-
parsl and implements of coquetry, con-
\ tracted for by mam'selle with that CHEEKY
Indifference OF financial responsibility and
results so characteristic Of her profession.
Aimee, placing her own valuation on the
articles In question, generously offered 70
settle the matter by paying the house OF
| Leyvastre s. Co. q. 600 francs. The firm,
| to a maa, looked sad. and felt profane
/ Msm'selle wept and later became saucy
Then Leyvastre & Co. retired to their back
office where. after breaking the third com

| finally decided 20 invoke the common law
of France.
For the Utilization OK my readers Of the
beautiful sex, jot down just very few Of
the mysterious little things which figure IN
the bill of particulars furnished by counsel
| for the brutal Leyvestre & Co. Igive them
| in French docks so much more appropriate,
you know. They are as follows:
81 Jupon surah rose garni dentellss laize,
2sS5 francs; 8 chemises surah garniture rose
800 francs; 8 chemises foulard clel, rouge
noir, 800 francs; une matinee avec upon
broderie. 500 francs; l deshabille linon
rouge. $50 francs; l pantalon bouffe surah
rose ct dentelle, 100 francs; l saut de lit

The court, an elderly bachelor, took one

and then promptly designated NJ. Worth to
report, as an expert, on the case, which is
still in allegiance.
REMARKABLE CASE OF NJ. BLAMPAIN.
M. Julien Blampain, sometimes called
Lagayant, of Ferrieres la Grande, brave
soldier of the Franoo-Prussian war, and a
modest gentleman of the present moment.
has suddenly at once surprised himself and
been the cause of surprise in Others. 1t hap
pened in this wise
M. Blampain. in 1870, was struck in the
face, and under the eye, by a rife bullet.
The missile entered the head; but, by a SEEM
Ing miracle, the man survived; although it
was found impossible to remove the ball.
Two months ago ID. Blampain had tooth
extracted. While riding in q railway r.
riage few days since the old soldier was
observed by his travelling companions to
suddenly throw his head forward
and lift his hand to. his mouth aud
remove something therefrom. Ii was the
Prussisn bullet which had made its way
into his mouth through the cavity left by
the extracted tooth.
Since this strange dsliverance NJ. Blam-
pain has suffered from violent headaches.
The truth OF the facts here stated are GER
tilted to by DR.. Defontaine, a reputable
physician OF Ferrieres la Grande.
l wonder if any OF the soldiers Of your
late civil war have ever heard of quite so
remarkable a case!
GAMBLER AND BFGGAR
Alfred Wolff, the distinguished critic and
man OF letters, is not so long dead that the
following "Reminiscences from the Matin will
not bear relation:
Wolff, says the Mdtin, las fond of tell
ing of young man, an inveterate gambler.
whose habit 1t was before entering the
gambling room to give 20 francs to a beggar
who stood at the door. The transaction was
with varying fortune an aims or a deposit.
Ii the gambling youth was a winner he de-
parted joyous and free, while the mendicant
retained the 20 francs. If, however.
the reverse was the case, the bsgger reserved
ten sous TO his own uses. and returned the
remainder or the gift to the donor, who
thereupon dined. you, of course. know
the end" Wolff would conclude, the gam
bier was ruined, while the beggar, having
saved his many ten soue, is now the pros
porous banker Of the establishment"
There is a gamblers superstition, and
Migrants thrift; cause and effect, all to-
gether, in small parcel.
vERDfs "FALsTAFF."
The ewsfrom Milan is that Verdi is
rapidly pushing forward to completion his
new comic opera, "Falstaff;" for which
Boito has written the liuretto. 1t is, in
deed, quite probable that the new work
will be produced at the Theatre de la Scala
at the commencement Of the approaching
season.
SO, ere the summer song birds are in full
| chorus, the fat English knight may through
the Italian voice, exhaust his ponderons
bulk in bursts Of glorious melody. Mean
while. the old master is closely watching
the representations of opera in the different
theaters of Italy, in the hope Of finding
artists suited to his exacting requirements.
1t is said of him that he, a few evenings
since, attracted unfriendly attention
from some dark-eyed senoritas by
impatientiy exclaiming:, "A man
quently explained that the words woman"
and decent" had been used in purely pro-
| fessional sense. the composer being at his
| wits end to secure three ladies for the lead
| Ing female roles. Harmony was restored.
1t Is believed that the "Falstaff'' of the
opera will be rendered by an Italian. Pos
sioly, be will as thoroughly understand the
rollicking humor of the fat old Anglo Saxon
rascal as would German. Russian, Monte
negrin; or, perhaps-a Frenchman.
PRESIDENT CARROTS CHEF.
An American visiting Paris will almost
certainly make his way to tho Rue du Fam
bourg St. Honore. He will do SO, not
alone because it is one of the most delight
full localities of the city; but also for the
reason that on IL is situated the Palais
de 7 Elysee. the executive mansion of
| France.
Should our American friend happen TO
be bon viudrt. aud have the entree, it is
not impossible that the friendly greeting of
ID. Carnot. and even the pleasant welcom-
ing smiles of Nine. la Presidente, will be as
small matters compared with an inroduc-
ton to NJ. Louis Labernot, prince of the
amenities and lord paramount of cooks.
Louis, who is chef at the Elysee, is al
lowed stated sum per day for the expenses
OF the national table. and uses it to what no
man whose high privilege 1t has been to sit
thereat will deny to be the very best ad-
vantage.
M. Labernot does not hide his head in
cloud of abnegation. On the contrary,
he does not hesitate to affirm that the sue
cess OF the French republic is largely due to
his skill as a cuisinier. He is, of course,
the author of a work IN fba art oF ooOy
