As usual. the opening Of the great annual
chrysanthemum show in the Pavilion OF the
City of Paris, IN the Champs Elysees. has served
to herald the advent of winter and the day be-
fore yesterday the mercury went below freez-
ing-pont for the first time since last spring.
The suddenness with which the cold weather has
come upon us has perhaps tended to exag-
gerate its intensity; but, be this as 1t may,
everybody looks half-frozen, and furs are the
order Of the day Nor does the frost seem TO
be confined to Paris. We hear OF heavy snow
in the provinces, while In the champagne dis-
trict streams and rivers are reported TO De
frozen over. To-day the weather is still colder
here. and a northeasterly wind adds to the dis
comfort Of the chilly Parisians who go about
their business with their faces colorless from
the effects of the chilling blast With regard

made her temperance here after her long and
protracted residence in London. 1t Is she who
is portrayed on the stage under the transparent
pseudonyme of "Audotia Latamcff," and who
plays SO veryimportant part in the tragedy. The
object of her return here Is TO arrange for the
publication Of a book which she has written, en-
titled lie Steele Rouge C'The Red Century
which. far realism and portrayal OF
mankind in all its most evil aspect are
concerned, is stated to outstrp anything
that Zola has ever written. Louise Michel
seems to enjoy her life in London. and speaks
most highly of the English declaring that the
Anglo-SaXon race has "a greater sentiment oi
personal dignity than her countrymen, ana
that in English law more respect is shown for
human liberty than In France.
We have Just lost one of the most eccentric
and bcst-known figures Of our metropolitan life
by the death Of the Comte Hyde de Melville.

he was wont to drive about the city In his
mail phaeton. from which he delivered
speeches read his verses and distributed
leaflets on which printed his poems. some
of which were really clever He was his own
billposter. and this led to constant conflict with
the authorities. in which the crowd always
took the Counts side. Lattery he became
convinced that he was descendant of the
Boreias and that he possessed a secret poison
for the destruction Of his political enemies. This
rendered it necessary for his wife and daughter
to have him placed under restraint which seems
to have brought on paralysis of the brain and
