Paris correspondencs of the New York Times! The last work of Vietor Hugo furniehes us the most_striking illustration of purs Chiuvinism that has yeot been seen. Hoattributes to Frauce all the honors, greatnéss, and glory of the world She is the mother of all other countries. She furnishes all progress, all inventions, sll civiliza- tion, and, although the innocent viotim of all other countries, she continues to supply the worid with idess. Beeide the impassioned lan- guage of Victor Hugo, this is.& very mild way of atating the case. As an instance of kterary egotism and national vanity, I do not think this work bas its llel in any language. This bribps ip the origin of the word * Chauvinism,” which hss no equivalent in English that I can now recall, and which foreign readers en- counter every dsy in the works of Freoch writers and in the columns of thepress. Nicho- 1a8 Chauvin was born at Rochefort toward the close of the last century. He entered the army 28 & private when 18 years of age, and went throngh all the campaigns of the First Empire. Seventeen wounds, all received in front ; thrce fingers amyntated, a shoulder fractured, fore- head herribly mutilated, a sabre of honor, the Cross of the Legion d'Honnear, 200 fravcs & yoar pension—such is-the description given of the old hero who gave his nsme to the grand sentiment, so exaggerated in our day, and turned into ridicule by writers like Victor Hugo. The + early records tell us little abont Nicholas Chau- vin, and we bave no certmn kpowledge .as to the origin of bus popularity. It probably came from a regimental caprice, and from the jokes made about Chauvin's daring courage snd cohstant bopefulness. Onc day bis comrades wav- bave fu.md en enthusiast to Chsuvinj then otners hke them were called Chauvinista by way of pleasantry; and tho” transition from this to Chaavinism is easy, Tnoe public soon cauglht the term and applied it to those norea- sonling beings who could eee no good except in their owa country.—no glory besides their own, —and who had a blind confidence in the fidelity of victory to their cause; infing to the men who were always sounding tne fanfare of victory befors the ehemy was seen. Chauvin began bis career at an epoch when soldiers were called *Boos of Mars,” when all sang sougd in honor of ‘Bellona,” and in- voked -the aid of the *Goddess of War.” ‘That he was rashly brave is certaio, acd, al- though his name is now ueed ouly in-metaphor, tie sentiment he inspired is still feared across Rbihe. At the begiuning of the last war the aged Chauvin was living modestly upon publio charity and upon his small pension, but he took down ‘the sabre preseuted to him, got out the uniform that had long been packed in camphor to presorve it from moths, snd went to offer his services 25 & voluntoer in the nesrost rcgiment of the line. It Dappened to be a regiment of Turcos. Ho was accented gladly, not that any one dreamed of maiiing much use of hum, but because it was thought that he would give a cer- taio tona to the'army, and his example have a good effect upon the wholo country. It was soon found that Chauvin. despita his 80 odd years, was fall of his youthful ardor, and ablo tomarch with this rapid regiment. But he did not have the timé to do much toward raising the tone of the army, for he was soon taken off. He be- longed to Douay's Division, which opened the ball at- Wissembourg. When the battle be- gan Chauvin was carried away-by bis own cour- age. and charged at the head of tho Turcos upon & Prussisn battery. When the order came Chauvin catled upon his comradea to 820w them- selyes worthy sous of Mars, haranguing them in the metaphorical and antigno langaage of other days, tb the great amusemont of all, sid, wating his swora sbove his head, e charged with a dash that surprised tha enemy.. Enticely ignorant of tne power of medein firo-arms, he funcied that Lhis sabee-of - honor could know no obstacts ¢ hut = Prusaian oeedle-gan eent a bull through his breast boforo he had gone many yacds, aud ho fell mortally wounded, But he was seoa to raise himself upon his arm to watch the Turcos, and ho sank back with a smile upon his lips ag he eaw them tumble in upon the enemy’s guns. He died in the full enjoyment of & glorious victory. His spirit had departed a moment later, when the enemy rallied and drovo the Turcos back in disorder, followed by a complete rout, nearly a third of them being /killed before they got across tho field over which they had just charged. When the Ger- ‘mans cams up they found s loog form stiff in death—the sigat of the antique uniform among the turbans of the Turoos atiracting their atten- tion—and they gatbercd about the curions body. Chzuvin's eyes were still open, and he looked happy over the victory gained by his comrades. Each Germnan eoldier looked ou with ‘an ironig smile at first, but tho sight of that white head and muostache soon touched them, and they gave the old man a special burial, throwing some sprigs of laurel inupon his gravo sa tokens of respect. None then knew that tnis was the mau who had givea his pame to s grand but greatly abused national gentiment. A GLIMFSE AT BRITISH ROYALTY. The following is from “A London June” in tho @alary for Angust: There ia a general movement among the loungers in the Park, and an unostentations carnage with servants in red livery goes slowly by. The ladies aroattired very nearly alike, in black- and white striped gilks, the one in a piok. the otber in a biue bon-~ net. Thoy are not so beautiful as ramor wounld mako- us believe. They aie oval-faced, high- bred looking women, the one whom the English call **Qur Princess” heing older looking, Jess blooming than her sister Dagmar. The Czar- ovnais like a girlish edition of her sister, but though her brown eyes have a dscper lustre, ber cheek & riper bloom, and her mouth and pretty chin a more piquant air, there is & sweet- ness, a gentle dignity, a grace abont Alexandra ‘which makes her loveliness more perfect, yot its charm impossible to describa. B8he leans for- ward .2 the catringe passes, bows, and smiles cordially. **Ab," said a lady of the Quesn's household to us one evening, ‘‘she is sucha real Princess.” And this mention of royalty trings me back to a twilight Honr when, from a terrace on the High strectof old Kesington, we watched. the Royal family returning from Chiswick. It was & fete day; the etreets were Raily decorated; a crowd assombed in tke ter- raced gardens, shop-windows, and on the pave- ment. The carriages containing royalty rode by witt umasual state, outriders in gay liveries pre- ceding thom. Firat, the **Christians” (as wae might #ay nee Princess Helena), & fair, placid- iveries, and such a carrisge load of rowaily ; the Princess of Wales ‘and her sister Dagmar, their white dresses and pink hata looking pretty in the eveniog Light ; opposite them the Pricce 'ales, who, in spite of rumor and increasing weight, is get fine-looking, and tho tall, broad- shouldered, good-looking Czarevitch; and then comes a last carriage, out of which Ittle Alédpy-lodking ‘children Ia brown hol- lsna cloaks and straw hats, with fluttering white ribbons, appear to be rolling. There are in truth three of .them uoon ane seat, and oppo- site, & stout, gracious-loosing lady, of whom we remember chiefly her brilliant smile and pleasatt salutatiop.

The old Duke deteats formahity. He is greatly be- loved by all the people, especially the army, which he commands. And zhus royalty rides by in s gay cavalcade. AN INFAMOUS WAGER. ' = Ono of the most revoltilg scenss recorded in the annals of modern executiona took place on the.15th of May fa the Russian City of Mobileft. - Six months before, an altercation bad occurred at the dinner table of the Hotel de I'Europs, in the same place, between two officers of the sec- ond regiment of the Imperial Foot Gnards—Ool. Rampos Sojinok and Lient. Ibalos Prizzik. The Intter, it appears, was engaged to be marriad ta the danghter of the landlord of the above-men- tioned hotel, Anns Mirasky, He waa fondly at- tached to the handsome girl, and locked apon sli attempts on the part of his comrades .zo flirt with her with undisguised jealousy. On the 83 of December, 1874, Col. Sojinok bad drank considerably befors goiog to dinner. At the table he offered loudly to bet that for the sum of $10,000 Anoa Mirasky would sell her virtue to bim. Lieut, Prizzik, her affianced lover, was not present, but a vote which the girl im- mediately addressed to him brought himio a fow mioafes to the No sooner had he heard what the Colonel had said about Anna than he seized a cane aod administered a terri- blo castigation to the foul-mouthed scoundrel. Tho Colohel dried to parry the blows, but the Lioutenant did not cease belsboring him until his face presented a eickening appearsnce. It was one mass of bruises. fi'hn nose of the Colonel was broken, sod his front teeth were knocked ont. The crjes of the chustised officer brought the police to the spot. Prizsik tas hrrested and taken to the military prison. Next day he was court-marualed by & .military commission, copaisting exclumvely of friends of Col. Sojinok. The trial Jasted two hours, at the end of which the President of tbe Court said to Priazik: ** The Court uoanimously, finds you guilty. 1t sentences you to ba 1gao- minionsly expelled from the army, and then suf- fer death by ponder and lead.” From this eentence the doomed man appealed to the Czar. Anna Mirasky, his fisncee, went herself to Sc. Petersburg, and threw if on ‘her knees before the Emperor Alexander IL The iatter was deeply moved by the tearful ap- peals of the unfortunate girl. and he promised %0 take the case into careful consideration. . Over five weary months passed, daring which time Prizzik, loaded wivh chains, lsnguished in jail. On the 14th of Mny, at leueth, the Aili- tary Governor of Mohileff received orders to have Prizzik executed. At daybreak on the fol- lowing morning the doomed lover was led ont. Two burly Corporals immediately foll upon him 2and tore his nuiform from his back. Then they. regeatedly struck bim and epit in bis facs. Stag- gering under the blows, he was tied to the stake, and the death-warrant was read to him. He cursed the Czar loudiy for his imjustice, but tho roll of drums drowoed his ‘voice. Six soldiers were drawn up in live before him. They fired three volieys st bim, but not a bullet hit bim. BSuch an ordeal was too much for the nerves of tbe poor young feilow. He begged piteously thas an_eud: might be put tobis sn- guish., The fourth and fifth volleys resulted in bia receiving seven wounds, He was still con- scous, and writhing in indescribabls agony. Then a Corporal ran up to him, and, putting bis muske: azainst his temple, blew out his brains. It was loudly asserted in Mohilef tbat the first two volleys were fired with blank cartridges in order to prolong the prisoner's agony. A FETE VILLAGEOTSE. Lucy Hooper, in her iast Paris letter to the Philacelphia Telegraph, says: The grand Feto Villageoise, on the Champs Elysees, has been the latest social sensation of Paris. Itisa fancy fair for chantable purposes which is gat- ten up anouslly by the most fashionable ladies in Pansian .society. Of conrse largs eums of wmoney are taken in, the usnal tariff being 20 cents for a glass of beer, 50 cants for s cigar, and 81 for & copy of one of the evening mews- papers. The fair is hold in- the beautiful grounds of the Concert Musard, sad wes this season a very brilliant and animated spectacle. Perhaps it would be more impressive as a char- itable enterprise ~ if tho toilettes of the Iadies who preside over it wers mot worth in ths aggregats far moro than tho amount gained. For the costames were superb in every respect. Most of the patroneases woro little white aprons, and thess aprons were all composed of either Mechlin or Valentiennes Isce. The Princess de Metternich presided over the lottery. Her dress was of sky blue butiste, trimmed mith flounces of Mechiin lace over plaited flounces of batliste. The front of the skirt was trimmed with bias bands of batiste covered” with lace. The corsage, In the Incroy- able style, was of.corn-colored silk, and was.cut squsre in the peck. Two hretelles on the breast confined draperiesof Aechlin lace. A scarf of golden-green silk was passed aronnd her’ waist, beginning under the arm, and was knotted under the pouff of the skirt. Bhe wore a broad- brimmed straw hat decorated with thres feath- ers,—one blue, one white, and one gold-green. The Duchess ds Castries, the Baroness de Poilly, and the Duchess de Mouchy presided at the buffet. Madame de Moncby was dressed in rome—colored silk, covered with flounces and ruchings of muslia and Valenciennes lace. Her hat was of white rice. straw, &mall, and 1in the Lows XV. style, and tnimmed with pale pink feathers and tea-roses. Madame de Poilly wore a dress of blne ghuze with plaited Aounces with parrow white lace, and a polonaise of matine- biue ailk, trimmed with wider lace. A wide Rubena hat in black straw, raised at one side and witn black feathers drooping nearly to the ehoulder. The Marquise de Pourtales was in white satin, the train of her dress was covered with .plaited flonnces of organdie and Valencieones lace.
