Special Correspondence of the Journal.
PARIS, April I.-Orleanism shows itself
in it's true colors. On the death of the late
NJ. EdOuard Herve of the Academy, lie
Soleil, passed into the hands of Count
Kermaingant He now retires from the
editorship in which he is replaced by NJ.
Ernest Rebault, rabid anti-Protestant
and the founder of the ti-Huguenot
weekly, La Deliviance.
The members of the staff on whom
Count de Kermaingant most depended have
resigned. One of them is Leon Daudet, a
writer of eminence and son of the late
Alphonse Daudet, whose novels will never
be out of date. The others are Maurice
Talmyr. a strong writer of novelettes; Jean
Carrere, who sent us very amusing letters
from South Africa; Charles Maurras. a
more serious but never heavy writer;
Felicien Pascal, who deals with great
cases in the courts of law, and Gaucher,
who makes the puzzlng questions of his
tory his particular province. Renault's ia
Their was connected with the administration
of the late Due d'Aumale's estates.

paper started in France on large sheet.

President Grevy, entered the field of
cheapest Journalism Of the pretentious
earle did secret service work for Theirs.
His employment ceased when that great
man fell, and he found himself utterly des-
titute- He was a tall fair man, well edu-
Gated, with long, melancholy face. and

Garlic, who had seen me at Thiers's one
evening, came up to me in n cafe and sat
down at my table as if to enter into polite
conversation. After dealing for few mo-
ments in commonplaces he advanced his
head and said in a low voice. Perhaps
you suspect my impecunious condition.

you lend me 20 francs?"
4 lent him the money he asked and off
he went. Nor did he ever return Mac
Mahon fell and Grevy entered office. In
some way or another earle got round Will
son and persuaded him that he needed not
one paper merely, but several to defend
his father-in-law against Gambetta. Will
son founded La Paix, the most colorless

Garlic figured on the head of the first page
as chief editor.
