Ambler Smith and Mr. Andrew. Washbnrne, Pension Agent. AVaahbarne accosted Smith and charged him with making false statements about him, knowingly. Smith's reply was a blow over Washburne'a head with an umbrella.

The two gents then clinched and scuttled till separated. No serious damage done. Washbnrne's charge of false statements probably arose from statements made by Smith in the House of Representatives a few days since, in regard to the granite contract for the new State Department, in which Washbnrne was charged with defrauding the Government oat of $60,000.

Picayune. Paris, May. 1874. I do cot know when I have anything:" which exhibits in a stronger light Mons. Thiers's character or, rather, utter want of character than the following narrative.

A few words of. pi ef ace are necesoary to make it clear. Le Fiearo nublisbed a letter. which, it-was alleged, whb dictated, or surested, by Mons. liners tie posilivdy denied that he "had any thing to do with it.

The subject is of importance, for in the letter Mons. Thiers treated Moils. Barodet and his "paity as assassins and ThieTs now looked to Mons. Barodet and his party to restore him to power. Imagine bow disinclined is to be exposed for a re viler of them A writer on Lo Fig'aro gives this account of the matter My article was abont to appear when iions.

Thiers asked the chief editor of Le Figaro to call on him. The chief editor, (Mons. de illemessant,) went to the Elyeee. Mons. Thiers, said to him Come, Mons.

de Ville-meseant, don't yon intend to support jny friend, Mons. de RemusatT' (This was on the eve of the Paris election, that election which returned Mons. Barodet and defeated Mons. de Remtisat,) Mons. de Vil-lemesfaBt replied: 'Mr.

President, I really am not very, very desirous to support Mons. de Bemnsat but one of my writers wishes, for private reasons, to support your friend, and I believe he publishes to-morrow an article in which he explains his views to our readers." Mons. Thiers: Could you not let me see the proof sheets ox that article? The state of affairs is so very grave that the least word is important. I am very desirous to see those proof sheets." Modb. de Villemessant "Very well; Mons.

Thiers, you shall receive the proof Soon after this conversation a person called on me he said he was Mons. Thiers's secretary he gave his name as Mons. Troncin du Mersan. He explained tbe object of his visit, made most flattering speeches to me in Moos. Thiers's name, and ended by asking for proof sheets of my article, declaring that no change would be made in it I said to him: "Mons.

Thiers wishes to read my article, yon say. I am willing, but I warn you that I shall not change one word of it. It shall appear just as it is, or not at He replied Certainly, certainly but make haste, for Heaven's sake. Mons. Thiers is waiting at the Elysee.

The carriage is at the door. I beg you to come with me to get the proof sheets." I said to him as I went down the steps Do not deceive yourself. I am no ally of yours. Far from it. I go behind yon in supporting Mons.

de Kemusat solely to make your blunders visible to every eye. Do as you may. you will be defeated. is sure to be elected." 'Tie answered Do you think so 1 You are mistaken. Mons.

de Remusat will be elected by an immense majority. Mons. Thiers has this from an authority in which im- licit confidence may be placed." te lowered his voice and continued As for our alliance with the Left, that is a game we are obliged to keep up for some time but when once we have a second chamber and restrictions put on universal suffrage, Mons. Thiers will break with his dangerous allies." About midnight I went to Le Figaro's office. Suddenly a person appeared at the hack's door, and before I could open it, I found before me Mons.

Troneirf de Mersan once He said to me; Ah I began to think you would not come. Here are yourproof sheets, with some corrections made by Thiers corrections which I am sure you will not refuse to make." I looked at the proof sheets. They were covered with scribbling and erasures. I asked, "What is that 1" Mons. Troncin said Your article." That my article But what has been put over it?" Mons.

Troncin replied: "A few of Mons. Thiers' ideas." I exclaimed: "In that case it is Mons. Thiers's it is not my article." Mons. Troncin answered "Listen to me. 1 Mons.

Thiers reckons on your patriotism. Don't refuse him what he aks. These are his very words 'Say to Mons. St. Genest, 'tis not the President who appeals to the newspaper writer, 'tis an old man, an old man who thinks he has done something for his country, who appeals to the patriot aud the I said Mons.

Troncin don't talk in that way, for yon placet me in a most embarrassing position." He "Grant me the corrections Mons. Thiers wishes." I ejaculated: "Those are not corrections are a message keep that article have it signed by whom you It is bo longer I sign only what I Come now come now let ust read it over together and you will see the corrections are insignificant. See eighteenth line, instead of da Remusat a dangerous iuons. 1 inexs ass you to put onry 'Mons. de Remusat, that honest Citizen, that creat aif- Mons Tronchin!" Why there is no more commonplace phrase' than 'admirable, rl answered That is true enough, but it is used only when one believes another to be admirable.

I don't think de: Remusat admirable at I support him solely to overthrow He said Let us read on; the compositors are waiting. Mons. Thiers begs you will drop scandalous address 1 to voters' and insert somewhat deplorable address to "Ah! Mons. Tropin!" "But deplorable accurately expresses your idea; moreover, it is the expression invariably used take up any newspaper and you will see it used a hundred times." 4 True, but when instead of deeming a thing deplorable, one thinks it scandalous, the latter word more accurately expresses one's thought." Let's read on, let's read on. Mons.

asks you to drop a deep change of consciences," and to insert a certain moral trouble I exclaimed. Mons. Troncin Moos. Thiers would change, too, "flatter the and use instead "please the conn try." "Mons. Troncin!" And drop lamentable policy," using policy which I do not understand." Oh Mons.

Troncin Just at this moment the door opened and Mons.de Villemessant entered. Mons. Troncin said Here are some changes which Mons. Thiers would like to have made. Mons.

de Villemessant chief editor of Le Figaro, replied Why, if it be possible to do anything to give pleasure to Mons Thiers, I should, St. Genest, be delighted Let me see those famous corrections." Mons. Troncin said "Oh, they don't amount to much;" gave the proof-sheets to Mons. de Villemessaut. At first Muds.

de Villemessant nodded, and mattered, Oh If he asks only that word give him pleasure He has done us good 1 service. 1 He is "an oi man Remus t. is bis But as he read on, his countenance chaDged, when, he reached the sixth' correction he jumped up, threw the proof sheets on the table and exclaimed Change nothing, St. Genest! not a word, not a svllahle. nothing! They are all alike! Give them one line, tbeyll take your whole newspaper.

Publish your article and let's bear no more about these corrections!" The next morning my article was published. I did not see Mons. Troncin de 'Mersan again until the veof the election, when he brought to de Figaro the letter signed, An subscriber," he said to me i You tare going to be satisfied. We now break openly with the Radical party I read the manuscript he brought and exclaimed: "Oh! Oh! Oh! really this outstrips my hopes Barodet commune, pillage, incendiary con-'flagrations Uhlan's horses eating tha leaves in the Champs Elysees. Really 'that is stronger than I should have friared to write." Mons.

Troncin da 'Mersan replied: "But didn't I tell you 'so Those people behave so abomin-; ably that we have determined to break with them." "Are you sure of de Remueat's election, otherwise you would scarcely burn your vessels." We are absolutely certain of success. We have 100,000 majority. Mons. told me so not five minutes ago." "Iam delighted to hear you talk so but I must ask your fiermiesion to strike out some ines in this letter. It is well enough that you should talk politics, but it seems to me useless to drag in my Mons.

Troucin du Mersan replied I would do so willingly, but as the whole letter was dictated by Mons. Thiers, I cannot change a word." The next day Mons. de Remusat was defeated. To thank us for our support, Mons.Thiers menaced with prison all the Conservatives who had seconded him and showered all his smiles and favors on all the Radicals who had opposed him." 1 may add that Mons. Troncin dn Mersan is now in prison for You know another of Mons.

Thiers' secretaries, Huge! mans, is in the penitentiary for swindling. The foregoing narrative will show you why Mons. Thieis is distrusted by all men of all parties. While seeming to act with one party he is doing his best to undermine the ground on which it stands. He is absolutely without moral sense, has no regard whatsoever for the truth.

If any man be weak enough to listen to his sentimental he is sure to toss him aside and to mal-treat him if his interest may by so doing be furthered. He does not scruple to disown his most accredited airents. In fine, a more thoroughly contemptible man than Mons. Thiers is hard to find even in this epoch of carpet-baggers. The domestic calamity whieh has befallen the imperial family of Russia, is the subject of general conversation here.

At first it was supposed that Grand Dnke Nicholas Constantino-witch was at the head of a vast political object was to take possession of the Government during the Czar's absence in England. Such political conspiracies, which have not hesitated to assassinate, are not without precedent in the history of the House of Romanoff. Then we heaid that Grand Duke Constantino's wife had for some time past noticed that the most valuable objects in her lodgings disappeared one after the other. She closely watched a) 1 of her servants, but she could not even get aroatterof suspicion against one of them. She then determined to communicate the occurrence to.

the Czar. He was greatly nettled, but was so averse from having a scandal in an imperial palace, that at first he would not move in the matter. The thefts continued and increased in import- ance, so mouiing was leit mm to uo but to send for Gen. Von Trephoft, the head of the police. His Majesty was in a towering So he simply bowed to the guard, and said, Your police is not efficient I shall soon not be safe from thieves even in.

my winter palace. Diamonds and precious stones daily disappear from the marble theft after theft is committed there, and you have not the least suspicion of tbe perpetrator, but you do not suspect even that such crimes are taking Thunderstruck by this announcement, and afraid of losing Imperial favor, Gen.iVbn TrephofT assured the Czar' of tife arrest of tbe criminal or criminals in less than twenty-four hours. He, upon quitting the Emperor, took the investiga-tion in his own hands, summoned nis most adroit agents, examined all the pei sons employed in the Marble Pal-' ace and-soon discovered the criminal I to be none other than Grand Duke Nicolas Constantinowitch, a youth of twentv. son of Grand Duke Constah- tine and consequently- a nephew of me czar, it seeing wut ua uju- tress an American woman, a Miss Phoenix, a most extravagant to whom he gave not only, money but: the diamonds and precious -stones, which he stole from the Marble Pal-j She had managed to fly. Russia before these thefts were I believe the true version of this painful family history to be the following Thefts had been committed for some time in tbe Marble Palace, but no steps had been taken to arrest the thief until a most valuable picture of the Blessed Virgin disappeared.

It was a gold frame. adorned with costly diamonds. Grand Duch-ees Alexandra osephovna, wife of Grand Duke Constantino prized this picture as 'her: moet precious treasure, for it was hallowed by associations which made it more valuable than the gold and diamonds in which it was set. Search was instantly made for it. Twas soon discovered in a pawn-broker's shop, and evidence was at once had that the person who had pawned it was none other than Grand Dnke Nicholas Constantinowitch himself.

He was immediately arrested. Intelligence of his arrest flew like wild lire over St. Petersburg, and all sorts of exaggerated statements were made. It seems he had the typhoid fever some time since, and it is probable a lesion of tbe brain then occurred. The other missing articles from the Marble Palace have been traced, and he was found to have deposited the proceeds of their, sale with bankers, tellrox them he wanted to lay up something for a rainy day.

When he was arrested he went raving mad. A day or two afterwards the paroxysm of phrenzy was followed by complete nervous exhaustion. He has since alternated between these two states, and it is generally hoped that death may speedily The physi cians say his insanity is incurable, for it is produced by physical causes. He remains in the Marble Palace. Gamma.

TKOriiI.ES OF THE -REPCELIC OF, SAN MARINO. A correfinnndent write! from Rnmn A bit of State policy, which occupied public attention for some time and then dropped out of its notice, is not vet ouite settled. After the council of.

Rimini, and its decisions nnder imperial pressure, when, as bt. Jerome quaintly remarks, "The. universe found itself, to its great astonishment, one vast Anon," a certain bishop, and for some hun dreds of years now Gundeus converted to his doctrines a deacon, jwbo, persecuted like his patron, became like him a saint also, but first a hermit, and afterward the head Of a fraternity, which lived tor long years on the summit of a bleak mountain overlooking the plain of Rimini. St. Martin was by trade a stone-cutter.

'and lonfc genetations of stone-cutters have' ever since lived on his moun tain. In the eleventh century the site had become populous, the inhabitants had. spread into the neighboring heights, and, announcing their' intention of hav'Dfr no ruler but Jeans Christ, laid the foundations of the republic of San Marino. A republic it has been all these acres, and never has tbe state refused to receive political refugees fleeing for their lives from neighboring states. In 173S) its liberties were in the greatest dancer.

Cardinal Albe rt) ni coveted the little neighboring vineyard to add to bis spoils, lie 'obtained permission of the PopS to make his triumphal entry within the walls of Che little capital of Ithe state, and was duly received as ambassador from the Pope. Next day solemn mass was held in presence of all the magnates of ban Marino, after which, to their great surprise and consterna tion, they were called upon to swear allegiance meir new iora. une or two traitors gave in their adhesion, but the vast assembly arose in resistance, and kindly allowed, the Cardinal and his suite to take their downward road to Rimini, and thence to Rome with all Bpeed. It was judged best not to repeat the attempt, and the lepublic has flourished in safety ever since. In 1862 she concluded an extradition treaty with Italy, and renewed it after events of 1870.

Some time ago a felon, a murderer, escaped and took refuge within her dominions. Of course no right of asylum could be claimed for him b7 tbe republic, and she claimed none, but the criminal (who had murdered I the guard who was attempting: to ar rest him for some minor crime) is not forthcoming. San Marino says she cannot find him. Italy says: "Let me look." San Marino demurs. The Italian Government has ordered troops to be encamped in the neighborhood, in order to arrest the criminal should be escape, accepting the declaration of the Government of San Marino that they have sought for him in vain, but thinking there may be some mistake in the matter.

Such is the position of affairs to the public view. But in reality a military cordon is drawn around tbe little State, and no one can enter it or go from it without especial permission from the military authorities This state of things is very galling to the authorities of San Marino, who, by the have no mercenary incentives to fire their ambition. They have no "eight dollars a day," of which so much used to be said in the old days of the legislators of another republic. have not a of salary, andean remain in power but six months at a Just now they are anxiously awaiting a change in the Italian Ministry. They must have bad a sad disappointment lately, for their intention was, as soon as the present Cabinet was dissolved a Cabinet they consider unfriendly to them to array themselves in all their gala costume, adorned with the order of San Marino, and make a personal appeal to the King to have the soldiers removed.

A Scene on the Railroad. "Burleigh" writes from Washington to the iSoston Journal An amusing incident the other day, on one of the trains from Boston to this city. The ears were very crowded. An elegantly-dressed woman oceu- Eied an enure seat. Her bundles, andbox and bag were piled artistically.

"Yes, it is," was the snappish reply.

If looks have annihilated a man. there would have been a corpse in that, car about that time.

The man peemed very much at home. He. whistled he spit i lie stroked his teard he threw -Toand his huge arms, and chuckled inwardly at the evident rage of the woman. She left tbe cars a New Haven, and had hardly, gone before the gentleman was refused the seat reappeared. To some gentleman who seemed to take a great interest in the proceedings, he said Did you see how that woman treated met" Yes." vou see how she was come up with "Yes." Well, that man is a horse doctor that sat down beside her.

He belongs to Bull's Head. I gave him $1 to ride with that woman as far as she went." The car roared. r.
