The old Norman capital has had her Mystic Krewe's pageant. It was brilliant. If travelers only knew what they miss by shooting through Boaen fast as express train liiea. they wonld linger days in that ancient city, filled, "with some of the most admirable speci mens of Gothio architecture, mantled' with interesting associations. ThSe ri cinity is fall of the most: attraetive I don't say walks, for I have never seen a New Orleanais with legST drives.

'I: confess Kouen is a city which I never tire visiting indeed, I could spend a life' in Normandy and see something every hour. I like to sit on top of one of the hills and revive all the scenes which that landscape (scarcely changed for a thonsand. years) has witnessed. Bnt to the Normaa Mystic Krewe else I should never have done telling yon of Normandy as much English as Alsace is German. The costumes, there were 700, were drawn by Lacoste, of the Grand Opera, add made by Millet Constanzo.

of this city. The pageant represented the entrance of Henry II into The festival began the previous evening, when a Herald at escorted by lords and guards, of went to every public place and "made clamour, to announce in the name of the conseillers and echevins that Henry II would enter the Normau capital the next day. 2ikl act Jtog The three old cat8 Canchois. St. Hilaire and Jean Ie C'teur were rebuilt.

On one of the towers of la Porte Cauchoise floated the Norman banner with its coat of arms two golden lions superposed on a held of gulea. The streets were magnificently decorated with old tapestry, banners of old Norman guilds, banners of blue velvet with silver fleurs de lis. Kouen was literally veiled with velvet, silk brocade, cold, silver. The court and officers of Normandy were represented in costumes of Henry H's day. The sight drew 00,000 people to Kouen.

1 I do not 'know: what foundation of truth this criticism on Mr. Vanderbilt's last purchase here hae, but it is certain that Americans are most shamefully diddled in all the purchases they make in Paris. There are pictures sold to Americans for $6000 or which conld easily be picked up here for $300. Persons unfamiliar with art would be astonished were I to tell them that French artists can never get more than $300 for their works. Lo Ganlois has Jiubiisnea since the exhibition opened a ist of works on sale and the prices asked for them, which has raised great laughter here, when we all know what castles in the air are built on the exhibition, and what figures these pictures held at thousands, will command in the auction mart.

Here is the criticism question; A Spaniard has been invented this week he lives in' Italy, but who exhibits in Paris, and whose picture has been bought by an American. The price is known, $26,000, the buyer is Mr. Van derbilt, an wealthy Gaspee, despite his Dutch name. When painters Iiear the dutch name ef this American they are He sometime since offered Mons. Delaaante $70,000 for Meis aonnier's 1814.

I have not seen the J00 which Mr. Vanderbilt has given for Villegas's "Baptism," bat as I know how Mr. Vanderbilt dses business, I think the price, if not probable, is likely. A week since only two persons in Paris knew Villegas Mens. the sculptor who discovered him in Some, and me, who saw in Mons, d'Epinay's studio Villegas's sketches.

Villegas has no talents except adroitness. His picture has been exhibited at a picture dealer's." Nobody was admitted to see it except by a ticket. A skillful stage setting, eh The price given. $13,000, bad maddened Parisian curiosity. It was no longer a question of art people flocked to see the picture as idlers formerly crowded Around the gold ingot of a lottery.

Ev airybody wanted to see if the American had received the worth of his money. It must be confessed the Spaniard gave" jthe Yankee good measure. He has crammed into his picture everything it could hold. The baptism took place in a Seville church, which is quite as much of an old curiosity shop as a church. The chased lamps, costly fans, gala swords' of priests vestments.

smoke of tapers, wrought iron screens, fill as much space as the people. Everything is combined in this work to gull the spectator daylight and tapers' ofheers in uniforms so bedizened with sold they look as if they were circus rid era, white women and mulatto women, civilians and soldiers, choristers and levites, old priests and young theological students, masters gilt from top to toe, and servants who are like play actors in lane costume old women and an in fant just born, modern jewelry and old works of art. Mr. Vanderbilt had offered in vain $20,000 more to tempt the painter to add one more, person or one more trinket to the picture the artist must have refused there is not room enough left in the picture to insert a pin's Villegas has given the American brimming measure of the whole contents of Fortuny's brains." Everyday a new "banker" opens a bank in Paris. Every another takes the train for Brussels, leaving his bank to be opened next by the police.

Yesterday a young man, caught by a banker's advertisement for a secretary who would receive $1200 a year, but must deposit $3000 seea xity. applied for the place, was accented. As he laid $3000 in bank notes on the table, the, banker exclaimed Why, by yon must be am, but I want something to do." "I wish yon wonld taie me for yaux The young man stared, then closely examined the banker's face and replied "I will, bnt I requine $10,000 security."

i What changes there are going to be In onr theatres. I have told you that Vic Tor Koeninjt wili; be manager of the Gynwase aha going to make it the most brilliant theatre of Paris. De la Kounat, however, vows the Gymuase nball not be as brilliant as theOdeon. PI nuke tt and Dormenil, who hare been nianagera of thei Palais Royal Theatre, ever so long, have sold their theatre to Briel who has for years managed provincial theatres and to Delcroix, an old theatrical agent here. They have a play promised them by Victorian Sardou and for it have engaged Celine Chanmont, certainly two trumps.

Dormenil taken the Theatre des Arts and promises wonders he is making such changes in the theatre it cannot be reopened under the new management; before November or December. I ay nothing of Sarah Bernhardt's engagement to play, in America. It will. 'be a dead, loss to the manager unless New Orleans, New York and Boston enrich him. As no performances draw more than a fortnight in New Orleans and Boston, and one month in "New York, and as Sarah Bernhardt.

is guaranteed $500 a night for one hundred nights, it is very easy to reckon that he wfil' be greatly out Of pocket. Train and M'lle Devoyod and Jeanne'; Bernhardt are eD gaged to support her. I will in time give the names of the other luem bers of the cempany.i Jl'me Theo is engaged by the Varieties for next. winter. She will make her hrtst appearance in a comedietta by Ernest Biurr, 5 score by Often bach, 'in which there will be only one woman's part; the six parts will be filled by Hervifi is writing the music or Ray mond and Koucheron's five act piece, Le Voyage en with which the Nonveautes will reopen, with The banlt (ex leader of the orchestra of les Bonnes aa IJndbeim's successor at the head of the musicians.

"Daniel Rochet" has been most sue cessful at Florence, Turin, Milan." It was not received with the same favor, at Vienna, bnt may be the reason was 'twas presented there mutilated and Victorien has pocketed $24,000, which he owes to this play, and tbejroceed8 of it continue to pour in. The manager of San Carlos Opera sued Adelini Patti and Nicolini for damages resulting from their interrupting the performances which they had contracted to give in the winter of "i9. The court has decided that the $2u00 damages claimed were not due, that Nicolini was not responsible, has condemned Adelina Patti to refund all money received from' the manager for performances not raven. Sarah Berhardt's company gets this pay for the month's performances at the Gaiety Theatre, London Talbot, $1400; Berton, $1200: Dieu dnne, $700; Train, si00; M'lle Kalb, $700; M'lle Jullien. 000: Mile Jeanne Bernhardt, $600; M'lle Devoyod, $400 Mile Dewintre, $400.

Caen, Auber's native city, is about to erect hts statue Chapn is the scidptor selected tp execute it. QSens will, in' September, unveil the statue of Jean Cousin by Chapu. M'me Dnrand, of Gagnac, saw a snake crawling in her garden in a jiliy she had gci.e down stairs and killed him with a broom stick. She had scareely recovered her breath when a second, then a third, presently a fourth snake appeared. Fast as they came they were killed, and they came daily for three days, at whose close she had killed 57 snakes.

Viscount de Veryfastboy stutters dreadfully. One of nis. friends asked him yesterday "What in the world do yon do to kill time He stuttered I am devouring ma pa pa pa trimony." I was asked yesterday What sort of books are most read New Orleans I had to confess ignorance. "Please show me your files of the Picayune. Booksellers? advertisements will show which works are called for." We looked over the Picayune, and to our astonishment conld not find one book advertised.

How is this Does nobody read in New Orleans Or are your booksellers Rip Van Winkles How Parisian this is I M'me de Blank at her last reception, which was unusually brilliant, (the season is ending,) noticed a young man whose polished manners, graeef nld dancing and bright conversation made him the most popular person in her drawing room. She exclaimed to one of her friends: "Dear me what a pity it is I do not know that gentleman's name. Is there nobody here who eould introduce him to mof Path rick O'Rory was walking in Avenue des Elysees with the greatest wag in Paris. Pathrick gravely asked, as he noticed a barouche drawn by a gray and by a bay horse, Do tell me. why is tne gray horse put right 1" Why, my dear don't you know the horse does not match the other is on the Caliso.

which always put on the right This is the law of the road keep to the right, as law directs." "Truer Trne! True I Ihad forgotten it." This incredible story is told of Roche fort's marriage. When in prison at Versailles, after the fall of la Commune, he wished to acknowledge his children and give them that retroactive, legitimacy which the French law allows to marriage. Their mothers conld not be found. A poor girl was dying of gallop ping consumption in the town hospital. She was persuaded to allow Rochefort to be married to her and to acknowledge" the children to be his and her offspring.

She never saw the chilren. She' saw Rochefort for the first and last ti me during the ceremony. She died during the night. Here is a pen and ink sketch of an American airl (by which yon will nnder stana a aaugnter Dorn norm ox Mason and Dixon's line, for oar Southern girls don't flannt in Paris life they are violets to be sought in home's shade), which is interesting as showing how a Yankee Jiii seems to French eyes: "Stylish to he backbone.

These fear ful and distressing scenes ended, his wife went to her parents house to tell father i and mother what had occurred.

The melancholy narrative ended, she. suddenly shrieked, made for the open window, leaped out (all tins in much less time than you have taken to read it) and fell on the street.

The woman was his sister. She was iust 19; She had lied his father's house a week before, leaving her parents' plunged in the deepest distress and most painful In 1805 a young Austrian quitted his native village in the neighborhood of Vienna to seek fortune the United States. No tidings were received from him. At last he was given up for dead and long mourned. Early in May his two brothers, who live in Vienna, re ceived a visit; the stranger was their long lost brother.

They were all the more delighted to see him when he told them he was the master of $150,000. There are no km like gilded kin. They told him their mother was still alive and kept an inn in their native village. It was agreed that, to make the surmise still more delightful to her, the stranger should go to the inn. remain there in cognita for two days, when his brothers would join him, ana They would merrily feast the finding of the lost one.

He went to the inn kept by their mother. She did not recognize her son under the avers which fifteen vears had accumu lated in voice and face. She treated him as an ordinary guest. To enjoy her delight when told that so much treasure was her son's, he gave her his money to keep, saying $150,000 was too much mo ney to have in his bed chamber, and they would be safer in her iron chest. She had never in all her life seen so much money.

She went to bed. Sleep was banished from her eyes.
