Despite wnrnlinrs and censorship, the poets and
literary men of rninco eanimt complain of want
of social recognition. During the lirstyc.vn.il
the present empire, it Udy, n rrreiit lady, a rent
gnat Inly, "in short," an Mr Mieavvtier would
say, "the Empress," desired Monsieur Merimee,
the senator and academician, to call upon Ihs
ranpi r "de It utile vr le sn part" and to tell him
that she ardently desired to Me him and receive
him. The poet, surprised, tlaticrcd, and embar
rassed, replied with all sorts of uxcuses. He was
unaccustomed to empres s ; he only desired in
his old ape, and nt the end of his careor, to livej
in iUict oliseitrity. He rciifsttd to bo relieved
of an honor which, etc., etc.
Her Imperial Majesty, on receiving this reply,
cut back to him to say that, "As ho would not
call on her, she would visit him."
It would have been a sight worth seeing, that
mectinp between the old poet and the youn l-.in-piess.
Those who have had the pood fortune to
see that nupust lady siniie, can judge of Its eilect

Aptopm of royal personapes, tho life of the last
lluihessof I'arma is a melancholy proof of the
truth of the adape that uneasv lies the liea 1 that
wears a crown. While in her cradlo, her lather,
the Due do Herri, was as-KHsin ated before tho
mother' eyes. She had not reached her tenth
yiur wheu the revolution of Jnly forced her
family to quit France. Nino vears afterwards,
the Prince, her husband, struek ti death, ex
pired In her arms, and since then ha been
compelled to abandon the due.hr, to which sho
bad been recalled for a brief ti.no by tho counter
revolution.
What a life! And in its course how many thou

There is a pleasant story of how the great Bu'
ac was conlincd for a week lu tho Hotel de
llaricote, the disciplinary prison of the National
Guard.
In the height of his popularity Balzac, like
Bernnper, oupht to avoiil visi'.or. To this end
he hired rooms nnder the assumed name of
.Madame Dupont. To which place Leon Oo.ian,
who discovered his retreat, onea uddressed a
letter :

At this time the great novelist served in the
National Guard, which institution he held in hor

lieve himself of his odious duty; but civil-military
law knows no respect for persons, and at hi

the summonses and orders tint precede the in
camrailon of refractory and inattentive N.itiomtl
Guardsmen. Of tuese, of course, Madamu Du

the honor of inscribing De lUliac on its muster

Dirotteuu," the military barber resolvod to
avenge the "tiade" and the troop. All that he
wanted was to catch tho remm nod novelist in tho
street, for domicile is invlola'ile.
One morning, while li'lac was writing one of
his wonderful "Inclinations de Vautrin," bis sor
Tiint entered his study and informed him that a
box containing an Ktruscan v.ise bad just arrived
below; that the porter, after three days' (oareh,
bad discovered that M. de lUil.ae was staying

A crowd assembled, and the author of tha

Much has recently beeu written of Oriental
subtlety, of the fine observation and pregnant
apprehension of the Eastern races ; but perhaps
the wily Asiatic is sometimes "sold" by the
simple l'.uropean. When Sid l'aeha was la
1'aria he sent for a eeiebr ttcd jusrelor and thus
addressed him :
"llefore I leave France I desire to present
some of your thiefs, who have honored ma by
their sympathy and uticmiun, with a trilling
proof of my esteem. UVe you a do.cn and
a half of gold snull'-boxes set with diamonds of
the value of labnut four thousand francs each V
"Your highness," replied tho jeweler, "at the
pit sent moment I have by me only six of the dc
Biription you desire; but if jour highness will
deign to begin by the presentation of those six,
In a lew day I will suuply you with six others,
which you also can distribute-, and in a week or

"Be it to. J.ct me have tho first nix imme

" Good ! When shall I have tho others ?"

We know from the authority of Sheridan's
"Mrs. I'iiII," how pos-ible it Is for tivo great
authors to hit upon the same idea, but that two
composers should hit upon the same air ro'piircs
an amount of credulity beyond us. Here is evi
dence conflicting enough to pu..!c the most intel
ligent of special juries.
M. Alexandra Boucher, who wiuj born in tho
year 1770, was a colobrated vloliuist. Ho was also
rcmarkablo for an astonishing resemblance to the
first N'apo'eon.
"In 'li2," says M. Boucher, "I spout an evening
in the raiibomg St. Germain at the Hotel da
Montaigne, Hue de In Chaise. During tho mim-,
a colonel w ho was on the point of departure lor
Marseilles to join his regiment, t mk leave of the
mistriss oi the house. Madame do Montaigne
introduced ns.
" 'I am charmed to meet you," said tho Colonel,
and I shall prolit by tho introduction hy asliiu,'
you to coniHjse a march tor my regiment a I'tm
prorate, if possible. '
"1 sought to excuse myself. I objected that I
had no music-paper; and a guest ruled a sheet of
ordinary paper with a pencil. Ma .lame de Mon
taigne supplicated, and at last I yielded, wrote
the march, and the colonel departed with it in his
pncki t. I had not oven tune to arrange it. When
the colouel arrived at Marseilles he gavo it to the
bandmaster. It was played on parade, and be
came the favorite marca of the regiment.
"About this time Kouget do I' Isle, tho reputed
author ami composer of the 'Marseillaise,' was
imprisoned forpoliiicul causes in fort St. Jean, in
Marseilles. .His j iiler, seeing that be occupied
himself incessantly in writiugjver.es, one day
said to him :
" 'Mon oill .lcr, why not write a song in honor
of our ami es .- Tlie Marseillais neither like tho
words nor the air of the "Carmagnole," but there
is a march tha bund plays every day a quick,
stirring, inspiring air every one is singing it.
Why uot writo words to it ?'
"The Imprisoned soldier sot himself to work,
and his words were adopted by tho crowd who
had before adopted my air.
"Judge of my astonishment when In tho 'M ir
selllaisc' I recogni.ed the march 1 had written at
the Hotel do Montaigne. It came from Marseilles,
and was naturally called the 'Marseillaise.' If.
as biographers bare stated, Hougut do I'lsle had
composed it at Strasbourg for the dep irturo of
the volunteers of the Army of the Rhino, it would
have beeu called the 'Strash uirpooiso.'
"Years alter I was dining in l'aris, and Uougct
de l isle sat beside mo. Haviug so long heard his
name coupled with my compositions, I looked at
him with considerable curiosity, and compli
mented him with marked significance upon his
famous words.
"'Hut you don't speak of the music,' sail ho.
'Your opinion as a gn at musician is of value.
Dors it not please you !'
'Y'es.'
" 'You must know, then, that the air is not
mine. It Is a march of 1 don't know whom, that
whs played at Maiseiiles wheu I was prisoner
th( ro during the Terror.'
"I soon convinced him that I was tho composer,
and utter congratulating me, ho said :
" -Y'ou are forever robbed of tho fame of your
own work, for though I proclaim you tho com
poser, the words und air are so insjpaiaolo tint
no one will believe me !'
" 'Keep all tho fame yourself,' I answered. 'But
for your genius my little march would be forgot
ten, or played sometimes in a garrison town.
You have ennoble d, sublimed it, and it has be
come yours hy the power of poetic absorption !' "
Thus for M. Alexandre Iloiieher. On the other
hand a letter from M. Nortiel, of the Library of
Strasbourg, protests "against the fable, prompted
by nmour-proprr, told by M. Boucher. It w is in
'!i:i, says M. Nortiel, and within the walls of
Strasbourg, that the sublime Hymn of Liberty
was composed, and it was Inserted in the
'Afllches do Strasbourg,' on the 7th of July of
Ihe sumo year, and was entitled, 'Chant do
Guerre pour 1'arinee du Hhiu, dedie au Mirechal
I.uckuer.' Copies of this journal still exist
which prove this fact. From Strasbourg the
hymn spread rapidly through tho departments,
and it was hrst sung in I'aris by the volunteers of
Murseillt s as they entered the city gates. It was
christened tho 'Marseillaise' by the Parisians
themselves."
We have heard, too, that tho Illustrious com-po-trs
is. so delighted with the singing of our
thoroughly Knglish Mr. S intley that he intends
to otter him one of the chief ruin in the forth
coming opera.

Here is a dialogue betwem a lady of fashion
and Monsieur Goiot.
"My dear Monsienr Gui.ot, you seem weary
with everything, as if your heiirt, and mind, and
spirit were fatigued. How is this? What can
you desiro i Vor years you have occupied th
thoughts ol Durope, Inspired your namo in his
lory, and btcn a king of men and leader of mon
archy. In jour retirement yon aru honored and
illustrious. No other is high enough for you to
envy. Then whence this lassitude, this sadness,
this hypoebrondria ? Are you ill ?"
"No, Madume, but I would forget.
"Forget!"
"Yes, I would tear a thousand pages from out
the book of my life pape tilled w ith the re. ords
of others, but which neither gave nor give mo
any happiness.
"Is it possible you can be dissatisfied w ith your
uiagnitieent career f"
"Were my time M come over again" (it must
be understood that this anecdote comes direet
from the lady who heard the avowal), "audi
were freo to choose my lot, I would be a man
without either political or social duties, responsi
ble but lor my own conduct, without too many
lelutionsor lriends, without any endowments of
talents, but simply those of common sense; with
out nerves, and with a good digestion and a little
egotism, entirely w.thout munition, living on a
modest, solid independence, drawn, sav from
rents in the llonievards of i'aris, or llepent street
In London ; so that I could bo a calm, unlmpai
sioned, disinterested spectator of passing events."
"Then," asked the lady, "what would be your
dream, your desires, your employment, your
pastime J"
"To sec the passions and ngitations of others.
As for glory l'ah!"
And this is the verdict of a man who has known
all und seen nil who has taken a bud's-eve view
of empires irom tho lofty heights of bis own
genius.

Hydraulic pressure is known to be a great
power, and the Due de Morny, years ago, put it
to a new use, and successfully pierced the thick
skin of a vulgarian. Tho noui eu riche in ques
tion gavo dinners, at.d alwajs reserved for him
self and bis wife a certain exquisite vintage of
l.eoville which tho famous house of Clos small of
Bordeaux sold him for a louis tho bottle. Tho
servant who stood behind his master's chair hud
secret orders to maumuvre with this particular
wine, so that the guests, although served with tho
best, never tasted the heoville.
M. de Morny, Informed of this fact, watched
the servant, and marked his clever manipulation
of tho bottle. The man asked him
' bermiuige :"
The Duke replied, pointing to the place where
the bottle was secreted, loudly ' I prefer Leo
ville." Tho man looked at his master, who, seeing
tL u' he was discovered, uvtdo the best of it.
"Don't you bear f tho Duke prefers l.eoville."
Tho precious bottle waa brought from ita
hiding-place, and the Duke's wineglass slowly
tilled the host, his wife, and all the guests ob
serving tho operation with deep interest.
M. de Morny poured tho couteuts of tho small
glass iuto hiB tumbler, tilled it up leisurely with
water, und drauk it as if it were only onliuary
wine.
It must have been a dreadful moment for Mon
slcur and Madame, the host and hostess.
