LONDON, July S,-Politics have osea t%

Much to the delight Of the lrish part
the Conservatives have bsen the md

Those who get enjoyment out Of solemn
and serious treatment Of trivial subjecll
have had further cause for laughter THU
week. In the Paris riots, which Premier
Dupuy caused by an attempt to show thai
he was great man and not little one, 81
he had been suspected, first there was Du.
puy TO laugh at, then the riots themselves,
which the correspondents Of London news
papers exaggerated into an incipient revo
luton.
The riots were subject to many grave,in.
digestible dissertations on France and
French fckleness and French love oi
bloody revolution. There was gveat bub
bling and tizzing, but 1t resolved itself intd
small pot over little FIRE.
1t is said on the authority OF Mrs. Nsllis
Grant Sart0ris herself that there II absO-
lutely no truth in the story that her daugh-
ter is going on the stage. Mrs. Sartorii
says:
"The rumor published In many papers
that my little girl is preparing for the stag
is entirely without foundation. The ques
ton has never been considered for a mo
ment."
