TIORAQE ONEELEY IN TROUBLE. 1 had Issued invitations for a diuner to my fel- Tow-Commissioners and other distinguishod gen- tlomen from the United States, to tale plnce at the Trois Frores Provoncaux, on Saturduy ovon- ing, Juwo 2, at 6 o'clock. A littlo boforo tho ape poiutod timo Iutorted from homo to keop the ongngemont. Aa I tarned into tho streot upon which tho Legation building whs situnted, T snw au ordiuary fincre, or stroot-cab, drawn up be- fore the door, and Platt standing, in his shirt- elooves, talking to its occupants. Thero wore threo fu all, two of them upon the back and ono upon the front eeat, As I appronshed neaver I° recognized ono of thoss upon tho bck Eoat &Y Horace Greoloy, who was to dine with mo that dny. 'fho othor two woro very ordinary-Jooking | Fronchmon, All wore talking and gosticulating violently, and, ns Mr, Greoley spoke no Fronch, and Mr. Piatt vory littlo indeed, and the two Fronchmen no English, the wholo was n Babel of uniutelligible jargon. Tho momont that dMr. Greoloy saw mo coming, his countenance, whicl had bitherto worn an exprossion of tho deopest distross, was illuminod by n ray of Lopeful sat isfaction. When X got near enough to hear him, hie oxplained to mo that hio bud been arrested at |- tho iustanco of a Fronch sculptor, who lind sent’ astatup for oxbibition to the World's Fairin New York, of which Mr. Greeloy wns one of the managors, beeauso this statue, which ho vahied at 16,000 francs, or £3,000, had booen returned to him in 4 mutilated coudition, 1o clnimod that ‘the munagers hnd guaranteod tho safaly of ol tho articles oxhibited, and that thereforo Mr. Greoloy was rosponsibloto him for bis loss. Heuco ho had commonced & civil netion for dam- nges against him, and ho had obtnined an order for hia arrest, That ho was taken befors tho Jndgo who bt~ grantod £ho order, and that tho DMugstrato lnd _consentod that the buissiors, or ilifts, who hnd him In charge conld accompuny Lim to the Americnn Legntion, and Ibad or~ darod that, if tho oflicers thereof would agroo to ‘become responsiblo for the amount in caso judys~ uent should go ngainst Mr. Greeloy, ho was to bo forthith 10lonsed. T translatod this siato- ment to tho bailifls, who admitted its correct- nees in oll rospact, oxcopt as to tho conditions for the relense. Thoy said that tho Judge's in- sitructions to thom woro not to lot Mr. Urecloy 120 unloss somo gontleman of the Logation would consent to mako a deposit . money of the sum ot issuo. When I told this to Mr., Greoloy, ho emphatically dened 1ts accuracy, and aado an offort to olbow himself out of tho cab, in ordor 10 onforeo his explanations to mo more &t his oaso. Seoing this, tho bailiffs supposad that ho wag cudeavorimng to tako sanctunry within the Legation, whore, by intornational lsw, it ould bo impossiblo to arrost Lim. 8o they shoved Dim back with some show of force, aud, golting out thomselves upon tho vidowall, tied their tri-colored scarfs around theirwaists. Atthisprocoeding Mr, Piatt langlod sarcasticnlly, whicl throw thom into o terri- Dlo passion; They desirod to be informed if ho intended to ‘ridioulo the colors of France,’ Pi- at¥’s_ hilavily continued, and it was all that I eould do to bring matters back to tho basis of quiot discnssion. In tho monntimo, Mr, Groo- les, paralyzed by tho efforta whick ho hind mado, was sitling bock in the cab with tho most woe-! Degrone look of martyrdom Tpon bis faco thnt can bo imngined. . . . . When I communi- cated to Mr. Greeloy the failure of all my efforts to #nve him from Cliohy, the apnthy of despair uvercamo him, and Lo oxclaimad, i that piping {reble which wo all remember, *'Fake me to jail, tako me to joil!” The boiliffs re-ontered tho cab, and it drove away. By this timo it wag nearly 6:90, and Mr. Pintt wae not yot dressed, Tho first thing dono was to dispatch a messengor to Mrs. Greeloy, af thoir rosideuce somewhero onteido the Are dé I'Etoile, Then Mr., Piatt mode n hasty toilet, and we started for tho Crols Trercs. A roomfuf of an- gry gentlomen wau waiting mo, indiguant thab tlio Tiost was not only not prescné to raceiva themn upon thelr arrival, but had notunlly kept thiewn waiting three-quurters of an houraftor the time nppoinied for dinnor, This necossitated o public explanation from me of the cause of my delay, which I medo on tho epot. In tlis way the most prominent Amoricans thon in Paria woro informied that their oxpected fcllow-gnost aud distinguished countryman, Horace Greeloy, was to spond thet night behind tho bars of tho debitors® priron of tho Rue do Chicky. “Che noxt (Sunday) morning, wittiont any un- scomly Lugry.] et to Clichy prison atubort 10 o'clack. _ Upon presenting my card I hnd no at difficulty in ?olfing admittaneg into the Warden's rooin, and thence 1 was gradually for- warded to iho intorior of the prison, aftor a sevies of innumerable cheelss and recoipts. Tho prisoners wero allowed to recoivo thoir friends on Bunday, but it was alumost as_ diffioult to get into the placo as to gob out of it. It appeated thnt during all the provious hour thore had boon & constant stremn of vigitors for Horace Greeley, snd tho prison-nuthoritios were bowildored to imngine who their singular-looking but evi- slontly distinguished naew charge ecould be. Tinally T ponetrated to the large common room i which the prisoners and_their fricuds wora assembled, It prosonted sltogethor o singulur econo. In tho corner squattod & Iaboring man a0 Lis blonko, surroundud by his wife and children, who bad brought him somo delicu- cies for his Sunday dinner. In aunother corner lounged n fashionably-dressed young gen- tleman, ovidontly of the genus jast, in couversation with n still moro Tashiona- ably-drossod youny woman, 88 ovidently of tho gonus fasfer, The room was filled with the zaust sirangely-contrasted groups. Btanding in tho middlo of ir, wearing his old white over- coat, and with Lis bat on_the back of his head, bis countenauce wronathed in smiles, flanked on ecithor sido by n Uuited Statea Minister, stood Horaco Groeloy, To refrain from laughing was impossiblo. 3, Grooley,” I said, “you itre- s16ibly romind mo of Parpon Adums’ in-juil.” Lis lussitudo nud alarm wero all gono, and e vinn in tho very highest spirics. ¢ Flold,” ho roplied {o me, “tlin les beon ' one of tho_mont fortunnio incidonts in my life.

Nover aud uover siuco has New Xork witnossed .peoplo was s nlmost fnoredible, , . . aucli o furoro as tho advont of Jouny Lind pro- duced, My, Damum, with unoxampled skill and tact, fannod ‘tho public oxcitomont, which ho Ind Inrgely eronted, o fover hoat. Upon tho occanion of thin rohearsnl, tho ontir Dattory wng eoverad with ouo denso mnss of hnman- ity. Whon tho porformanco ‘wns over, Miss Lind tock my amm to rotirn to Lor car- ringe, which eho lud loft ntanding opposito tho Bowling Creon. Immediatoly aftor wo mado our oxit from the Ginrdon, tha crowd prossod upon ua 8o wildly that the ‘polico had diflcully in foreing o pastago forus, Somo ondeavorod to thrust potitions for charity inta hot hand, and tho only objoot of othors was to wratify their cirlosity by gaziug into hor faca. Iho populaco mado up their minds that T must be DBarnuwmn, and I wna ropontedly nddrossed by tiat namo, It was with no smull difficulty, ond nfter » gront denl of ombarrassmont to me, that wo - finnlly ronched tho nnrrln%o and drove away, ‘ After a time Miss Lind becamodisratinfled with her contract, and I was sont for 1o revise it. Mr, Burnum mado the requirod concersions, I prepared & substitute, snd this alzo was duly oxeented. io Bolors tho first coricert enme off it was_an- notnced In the newspapers that Miss® Lind in- tonded to innugurate ‘lior carcer in Ameriva by prosonting hor sliaro of tho procebds to publio chnritien in-tho City of Now York. I boliova ! that tho suggostion camo from Mr, Barnum, and it waa o master-niroke of polioy. Tha day alter that ¢oncert, I agnih eaw Miss Lind, und re- coived from hor about $11,000 for distrilu- tion. T asked horto what instilutions’ L wau to present it, aud she told mo” to so- loct them myseit, * Accordingly, 1 con- ‘eulted with two "or threo [Puu:lcmnn, and mada out u list which I submittod to her for her ap- probation. Sho approved it, without hardly reading it, and I sturted upon my mission of morcy, Before 1 hind got through {t, I nimost regratted that I had consented to becomo her almoner, Searcoly-tusbody—thore wera & fow praweworthy oxcoptions—way entisfled, At almost every establishmont at which I enlled, they tried to persunde me that a larger nilotmont ‘#hould huvo been made to thelr particular insti- tution, and that its needs and deservings wero 80 much greator than thoge ot such o sister one. Of courae, wo had baon _styictly Impartial, Wo Liad no motive whatevor to bo otherywiso. son to beliave, thio 1ecolpts of that first concert fell far whort of Mr, Barnum’s oxpectations, and [' that tho public might not suspect the fnot, ho bimaelf furnishod 8 Inrgo portion of the monoy which tigured na Mies Lind'a fhare. Agninand again Miss Lind donired cinuges mado in the contract to her own advantngo, and overy tima Mr, Barnum_yielded. Whatovor his motive, ho was most obliging and complaisant; and although I havo never seon him sinco, I have always ostoemed himi for the good na- ture and Jiberality which' ho exhibited at {his timo in hia business relationn with Mirs Lind, I beliove that sho recolved evory farthing that bolonged to her, nud that ho treatod her with the most serupulons houor. Miss Lind soon_removed from the Irving Housn to the New York Hotol, and it was thors that Leaw hor most froquently, The baritono of the troupe which accompanied her, who way in the samo houso, wus madly in love with ler, and bo used to lio' in bed all’ day, wooping and howliug over his unroquitod aifoctiosn. way in” which gho was hounded for charity all tho timo was disgraceful to the country, Ie- sides recoiving ecoros’ of lelters, sha was dnily besieged by malo snd femalo boggars, who ob- tained necess o lier upon overy pretext, and who tormonted har for donations” for thomselves or others. Tho_impudoncs of somoe of Iflwau am ashamed to bo compolled to sav that many American ladfes urged thoir places in behalf of abjects, some of them undonbtedly moritorions, with an importunity which overstopped the bounds of propriaty. Migs Lind wos a calm, sonsiblo, conscientious woman of high principles, rather calonlating than omotionnl. She dotosted humbig—a wortd which wag constantly in hor mouth. .fwnn with Lo when o fologram was showa to hior, niou- tloning the onormous sum thet was paid in Boston for a choico of soats at hor fivst concart, “What o fool!” sha exclaimed, referring tv the purchaser, #he hiad an abhorrence for negroes, which sho cowld not overcomie. ‘**'Lhoy ure 50 ugly,” she usod to say. *'TITE DARNACLE " AT WASHINGTON. Thero nred tobo n clerk in the Registor's oftico who bolonged to one of thoso Washinglon familics, which, ever sinco tho foundation of tho Government, havo considered thomaelves, by preseriptivo right, ontitled to Lo provided for by it.
