A letter from Paris, keb. 16, to the New York Erening Post says: Mondsy evening Alexandre Dumss presented his comedy of ‘*L'Etran- gere,” which bad been expected to be the liter- ary event of the ecason, atthe Theatrs Fran- caie. Ths public did its share of the houors of tho occasion very gracefully. The Marshal- President and the Ministers of his household at- tended. The literary and amistic world eent 8 Luge delegation in addition to the persons who were at the general rehoarsal ontbo previ- ous Saturday ; and tho fashionable quarters con- tributed many hundreds of epectators. Orches- tra gerts were 8old for 100 and 156 francs from three in the aftornoon until Monday evening; snd & loge was disposed of at 7 o'clock for 450 francs. Great wae tne curiosity, and I think I may also eay, great was the disappointment. Some of tbe critics are kindiier than others, but itis evident that they all expected some- thing which they have not received. Wa are ouce more invited to see the Eplondors eud honors of another volesnic social eroption. Wo are treated to elsborate theories on the vibrion, 2s Monsicar Duwas bas chosen to desominate tho most corrupt and degraded social specimous which he shows us. The tirion, he esplsins, is an clementary organism, an apimal in the cyes human_ cattle. Delpit has done all this ; that he has been able aronses many tho sueceptibilities of the partisansof either North or South, it must be admitted that hie has satisfactorily performed a very hazardous ex- periment, and one which has never before re- sulted 1n 8 thestrical success. Delpit has au intimate knowiedge of tho springs of action which moved his mind, and of the quaint and kindly modes of expression pecniiar to bim, The stern religious evthusissm, the Puntanical snsterity and vehement feelings of men like Stonewall Jackson are also eloquently, and even grandly rondered ; while mapy of the well-kuown dramatic incidents of the War have been reproduced with estremely picturesque effects, T'he andience witness the cruel death of the great Sonthern leader, killed throngh s mis- take of his own troops : they are shown tho ad- venturone attemptsof Thomas and Fitzyatrickto kidnap Lincola and take bim down Sonth with 2 wild impoesible hope to end the \War that way. Thev see the gallaut figare of Gen. Stuart in his fantsstic costume and scarlet clonk, followed by the legendary pegro on a white horse, aud the whole focal coloring of the military spectacle ia accuratoly preserved. Several of the sceney are astonishingly reahistic, snd & tablean repra- senting the gumhom army_under canvas is elaborately correct in every detml TFiaully the play reven!s the Iswlessness and rapine I inevitably resnited from the confusion of the times, snd depicts some painful apd sorrowful events in social life which may bave well been persousily koown to the author. Ho hasnot even ehruok from de- lineating the mental characteristics of his per- sonages, many of whom were smong the familiar Iriends of bis audience ; he reproduces the gro- tesque songs and dances of the negro, and shows the affectionate and protecting coutempt with which the Southern chivalry looked upon their When it can_be esid that 3. to handle a recent opisodo_of history which still fierce passions without shocking The gem of the some savans, a sunple vegetable according to picce is that in which the supreme 3m°§m,8wmm appears in liquids or solids that | agony of Jackson is portrayed ~ after aro in process of decompositicn. — As soom | he has received his death-wound: aud ws the tibrion bas accomphshed its task, | the lavguaze put into the hps. of which consists in dissociating the organic tissnes cxposed to the ar or disscmubat- ed in fermenting liquids, it disappears— jits death being signaled by no other phenome- Don than the dispiscement of a minute globule of air, scarcely visible through the microscope. Imagine Dumss cslling &8 Dake from the Fau- bourg Saint Germain—who is one of his charae- ters—a vibrion. . There i¢ nothing dresdful in the story of «- L' Etrangere,” but therc is much that is ob- scure. * The comedy.” esid an acnte critic on Jeaving the thestre an the cpemng night, * needs 8 preface.” Not even the wit with which every line spurkles can save sn insufficient story and a Jack of completion. The uvity iy superd; tha action passes in a day: every £cene isa gem artistically; but the whole produces an epigodic, &£nd, to sum up, & disagreeable, impression. Here is a sketch of thestory: ra Mrs. Clarkson is ap American woman with just enough pocro blood in ber veins to bave boen marivrized under the slavo exstem when it pro- vailed in the United States. She saw her own mother eold on the agction block, and heard thay mother solemnly enjoin upon ler tho task of vengeanco npon maukind in general. Young, beantifal, and full of genius, this vindictive croa~ ture wanders throogh the world, sowing discord and rain upon her psth. She vigits Europe after baving married an Awmerican named Clarkson, who hes 8 gold mine in the West, and who oblig~ iugly pays ber buls. She is perfectly houest sud sruo to her plighted faith with her hosband, bnt she takes & malicious pleasure in allowing her own repuiation to be sallied in order that she may make victima. She is, in short, a perambu- 1atng epirit of evil, whose name is {requently beard in the Faubourg Ssint Germain coubled with praises by the men, with apathemas by the ‘women. After a time, however, Mrs. Clarkson finds a person who will not be Ler victim, and whom she straightway loves. His nameis Gerard, and be 18 a young engineer, talented and poor. Bat Rre, Clarkson is not alonein her adoration of Gerard. The Duchess of Septmonts, & young lady who was the dsughter of a rich bourgeois, god who married a debt~burdencd gentloman in prder that she might enjoy his title, has also discovered his good qualities, and strangely enough, while sha is indulging in a platosio affection for this yonngz eogincer, the” Duke de Septmonts, the famous tihrion goes to throw himself at the feet of Mra. Clarkson. This latter 1ady, deepising the tibrion, snd wishing to re- venge herself upon the Duchess and Gerard, tells him enongh to excite him. The Doke de Beptmonts at onca challenges Gerard, and zeks Clarkson, the husband of L'Etrangere, to be his second. But Clarksop, who is conwinced that the Doke is indeed a_ vilrion, and who doesn’t quite like the part which that person Las plsyed 4in the society of his wife, chsllenges lum in- &lead of becoming his second, and kills him. . Thore the piece stops. We msay never know whether Gerard marries the Duchess, or what becomes of **L’Etrangere.” We only glean from the remark of the latter personsge that Europe is too little, that ehe contemplates 1e- turning to Americs, or, a8 an accurately instruct- ed French critic phrases it, to her native psm- pas. Monsieur Dumas bas the consolation of hay- ¥ng accomplished that which no endesvored to Mo. In o series of brillisat tableaux ho hes inted the demoralization of s certain clags of -ench gociety, taking the most worthless types pnd exhibitiog them in all their disagroeable phases. There is no strong aud terrible crime n the play,~no such horror 8y in tho ** Prin- «cesse Georges,”—but in the main the playshows that Dumas will go on in his old course, making experiments in sivisection until even his best frienas will feel moch inclined to cry out ageinst um. ‘Tho cast of the pieco wasone of the finest «cver socn in France. All the stars of the Fran- caiy were in_the picce. Civizette, Sarsh Bern- Lardt, Got, Coquelin, Febore, aud others made evory line ecintillate. Febore copied an or- dinary American’s external characteristics of dress pnd manuer very well without caricaturing them. Hereprodaced the soft hat, the tarn- down collar, the goatee on tho chin, the laced -shoes with thin copper-sarrounded buttonholes ~ag notes 1o his dress; and he had evidently iBeen strack, in studying some of our country- men, with_that curious abruptoese of manner which distingnishes them from Europeans, and hadcopied jt. Itia said that he has been fre- quently to the American Chspel and to some of the largor inns in search of types, which, a8 fast & found, be sletched down in a pote-book and Laud asido for futura reference. AN AMERICAN PLAY IN PARIS. A Paris letter in tho London Daily News of ¥eb. 21 eays s Animportant play was-performed on Saturday night at the Theatre Historique. It 45 entided * Les Chevaliers de la Patrie,” and is written by M. Albert Delpit, an suthor fast ris- $ng into a colebrity as high as that of Angier or Dumas, bot of 2 purer and mors enviable lind. AL Delpit resided in tho United States as an Americsu citizen almost till the outbreak of tho late War, when he beceme a paturalized French eubject, snd condacted himself with such ex- Traosdinary gallantry before the enemy that his noo was repestedly ciied in the orders of the dsy, and he won tho red ribbon of Freoch knight~ 9od at anage when other boys are generally cramming for competitive examinations, At the wnme time ho gained that rare and universally- wecognized distinction jn letters which is no- wherero diflicnlt of sutzinment 89 in France. AL Delpit first made his mark among the bright rcowpany of wits who contribated to the Mous- guclmrc, & journal conducted by Alexandro umas, the elder, but his more widely-spread popularity began with a volume of patriotic poetry calied *‘Invasion,” which went through Jiftean editions in eix months, and was crowped by the French Academy. In 1875 he also pub- lished ‘- Le Ropentir,” & poem which again car- ried off the first prize of 1o Academy, and another such triumph will coofer upon him the right to s seat among the "1mm1¢;rtl.-.{- of that ;fim budg-‘i In- deed, M. Delpit sppears ve &eized upon repg’uu‘on at & bound, like that mada by Victor Hugo fitty years 8go. His drama of *Jean ~vana Pieds ™ was played with great snccess last year, and he is i’efi" o&e the mg;t ‘;:.:uli;ble Seriters in the Rerue des Deux Mondes, and in the Zin L6 Cheyaliers do la Pairic " is 6 graud historical drama in five acts and na- ‘merous tableaux. It dealsina bold, original way with tho main fects of the American War of secession; with the national snd domestic Sncidents which may be_fairly assumed to have zrisen ogt of them. The care and sttention to costume and scenory with which the pisy bas been produced reflect great credit on the mansgement, and the work promises to become one of the stock pieces of the thestrs, Every sct is ushered in by a separate overture, made up of s sclection of American na- ziopal airs, and_ths whole play is really valu- sble lcason on the bistory and ipstitutions of the Tnited States—a lesson the more valuable bo- cause it never wearies. The suthor has espe- cialiy eought to demonstrata pow ardent is the feeling of pacriotism among Americans, The Clievaliers de Ia Patnie are President Lincoln ou the ona eide, Gen. Stonewall Jackeon om the. | do but from Paris a8 follows : Baroo Hanssman for the Assembly hasled to the saintly soldier a8 he takes leave of life, aud and foresces the -dowufall of his_cause, is sub- lime in its vigor and eloquence. The houso was crowded with Americans, and it is no small praise to M. Delpit ,that not an expression of dissent or disapprobation wss heard them. The part of Abraham Lincoln was ad~ mirably played by Latouche ; that of Lady Bar- ton, an English peeress, by Mme. Celine Mon- taland, who put infinite spirit sud bumor iuto }:l. and the wholo cast of the piece was success- among PYRAMUS.AND THISBE IN_PARIS. Paris18 known as the modern Babylon (says the New York World), and bas lately been the scane of a domestic episodo which might serve for the barlesque of = love story told by Ovid of the ancient Babylon. Forrand, sub-lesder of the orchestra of the Opera Mme. Ferrand, wifo of M. Comique, comes into court to secure a separation from her busband on a plea which Sir John Cole- ridge wonld throw out of the Court of Queen’s Bench. Mme, Ferrand was s rich widow at the time of her marriage with AL Ferrand, Lat the latter took the fands into Lis own custody, locked them securcly up in_his strong box; and only doled ont to his wile what she considsred & very inadequata pin-money. By way of renedy, Aladamo took occasion once when Aonsieur was out to bresk wto tho eafe and help herself. Monsiour, upon returping, discovered that he bad been Tobbed, and sought Madame for an ex- planation. He found, howoever, that Madame, with her maid, had lotked horself up in her owu rocm, and refused to admit him over the barri- cades. He offered to parley, but the epsmy wounld not entertain his flag of truce, and dis- dained his proposals for & surrender upon terms the most honorable. There was nothing to to meke ® formal iavestment or the garrison, the attempt to carry it by siorm being far too hazardous. Neither party, however, was woll prepared forthe invest- ment, The garricon was uot provisioned, and the besieger bad engagements elsewhere which would compel bim to withdraw from tho field very soon. In this emergency AL Ferrand be- thougbt himself of Alexauder's device for the conquest of Tyro, and copied it by effectively walliug up the barricaded door. The garricon remained guiet for a day, and then attempted & sortie, which proved a wretched failare, the be- giegers’ out-works being impreguable. When the garrison was nearly starved ont dime. Fer- rand hit upon the plan of writing a statement of ‘Xher perilous condition, wrapping it around some eons and throwing it into tho street. TUnfortu- nately, however, it happened to be All-Fools' Day, nnd the gay Paristans were 80 much afraid of taking a poisson d'Avrile that it wes several hours before the police were potified. When they finally came to her relief, Madame and her maid were pregmng ® fricassce of kid gloves in huile antique, having previously caten s rico prcture-frame and drank a boitle of eau do Cologne and one of Hungary watar. Far this scandalons treatment Mme, Ferraud demands a separation. and it is to be boped the courts will grant it. The man who builds up a wall between himself and the wife of his bosom can certain- 1y atford to permit her a eeparate establishment. BARON HAUSSMARNN. Lucy H. Booper, in Applelons’ Journal writes The candidature of the publication of a very iatereating list of the works undertaken and finiehed ia the City of _Paris under his eupervision during tho Empire. Thirteen new boulevards were luid out aud com- pleted, including the splendid Boulevards Males- herbes and Hsussmann, and those great busi- nees thoroughfares, the Bounlovards Strasbourg and Bebastopol. As many grand avenues wore projected and completed, sud awong them the Avennes do I'Imporstrice, de 13 Reine Hortense, de Josephine, and all tho fan-shapea lino of avenues that stroich away from the Arc do Tnomphe, thus creating for residents one of the most elegant, accessible, snd healthful quarters of Paris. The Champs- Klysees were widened, beautified, and more thickly planted. The Bois de Boulogne was en- Iarged and sdorned with buildings, lakes, cas- cudes. aruiicial islets, ote. For streels averaging 22 feet in width were substituted grand thor- oughfares with an average width of 75 feat. At ihe commencement of the Empire Paris was lighted with 15,000 gas-jets. In 1869 the number bad been increased to 35,000, Thegrand system of sowerage commenced ucder Lonis Phil- ippe .was comvleted, snd the waters of the Ourcq rod the Vanne were introduced for the water service of the city. In seventeen years over 40,000 trees were planted along the city sidowalks. Ten now charches (twoof them Protestant) were built, and twonew synagogues, besides which many otber places of worabip were repaired and redecorated. Five mow theatres were constructed, including the Lyrique, tho Chatelet, and the Vaudewille, and tho new Opera-House was begun. 'Che magnistent Halles Contrales and other grand buildings of the ssme pature were bujlt, Such isa brief sketch of gome part ouly of the great works get op foot by Baron Haussmann, which have absolutely recreated Paris, making her in-~ comparably the most beautifal city in the world. And the moral and socis! effects of theso works. particnlarly of the openiog of tho grand thor- oughfares, has been immenze. Old rosdents of Paris tell me that before the opening of the Bonlevard Malesherbes, for ipstance, that part of the city which Ilay beyond the Aladeleine was like another world. Its io- habitants had a peculisr stamp of their own, and wore almost provincisl in their ways, tbe honses, shops, signs, and everyibing bo- ing odd and of ordivary quslity. Now tius district i3 one of the most drilliaut asd pop- ularin the whole city, But tiese alterstions and improvements wore not always the boons ad the blessings that thoy claimed fo be. The antignary and the artisan had alike cause to mourn. ~OId historical landmarks were ruthless- 1y effsced, historic and artistic bmldings were swept away, snd_the woridng-ciassos, driven from their homes in the eart of the city to dis- 1ant regions beyond the suburbe, found a long and exhausting walk no incopeiderable addition to the toils of theday. The result of the recont elections ehows that the name of Baron Hanss- msnn is not popalar with the people of the Paris that he beautified. LTHE QUEEN AT THE EAST END OF LONDON. A dispatch from Londoo, Afarch 11, to the New York Herald says : The Queen's visit tothe Eest End of London, to open the new wing of the London Hospital, wsathe event of the week. ‘Che most remarkable thing about this progress through Whitechapel was the development of ap intense loyalty among the great unwashed who live by tens of thousands in the purlieus of that malodorous locality in overy degree of pov- arty, squalor, and wretehedness. Royalty is s rare sight there, and a8 an open air attraction costiog noting the progress was sure 1o draw. Thero was apparentiy some doubt 28 to the loysl temper of the denizens, but it was soon gean that there was no dangor t0 be appro- hended on that head, Immonse crovds drawn from the cholco Jocahtias of old Ratcliffe High- way, Limenonss, and Poplar on the right band of the royal route,and from the wide districts of Hacknoy. Bothnat Green, and Spitalrields ou the left hand, poured in upon ‘Whitechapel. From ocarly in the dsy anxious throngs, among whom the fair sex was represented, lined the sidewalks. As tho time for the passing of the Royal cavaicade drew near, the masses of peo- Ple pouring in upon tho route becamo denmser and denser, Cavalry and policemen kept the crowds back so ag to leavo a clear space for tho carriages and escort to pass. As tho crowds from the outlving districts, composed of deceut workingmen, with their swoethearts and wives, gangs of horse-playing roughs aod troops of hoys, came up they packed the eide strects away Dback from the line of the route. The London crowd isat oncs goodhumered and brutal, and until the shouts in the aistance an- pounced tho coming of the Queen rough jokes, gnatches of **’Tommy, Make Room for Your Tnele,” snd Cockney “chafl” were baudied abont with apparent good nature. ‘Che cheering from the masses on the street and the waving of handkerchiefs from the windows of the main thoroughfare wore con- tinuous ; but at the cross stroots, as the caval- cnde paseed, the hoarse whirlwind of hurrabs waa followed by ehouts, curses, snd groans of vain g8 the prossure from behind became more intsnse and tho people in the maiu street turned Lomo agaiu. The scenes that ensned were shocking to hu- man nature. Women were crusbed, many fell and were trampled_on, and those who got out of these crushes with_only tora clothes thought themselves Jucky. Numerous accidents are ro- ported, but, of courso, they are only the serions cases. Thus, in a manper the Queen could never have desired, the prowress in the Esst contributed s largo number of pationts to fill the London hospital~wards. SIMPSON OF BUSSORA. Ihave a profound distrust of all travelers. Not becanse they are prone to tell me untruths about their experiences, for that has ins groat measure become a dangerous esperiment : wher~ ever they may bave been, other people have now ko been, and it is casy, if I may usea profes- sional expression, fo * correct thelr proofs;” my digtrust arises from tho ideas of my own mind of the oxperiences that they do nol tell me. When they get away from the regious of civilization, and ont of the influenco of pablic opinion, think Iio myself, what is it these _people do notdo? For the very fact of 5 man's being a traveler is, between ourselves, by no means 3 good sign. Why does he not stop at homo in the bosom of his family, or, if he has no family, acquire ono? It is his duty a8 a citi- zen, Whan s boy Tuns away from school, it is, of conrse, the correct thing to call him * intrepud,"’ + gallant,” * high-spirited,” and * independ- ent; » but that rort of boy is in_roslity Dot— geperally speaking—a good boy. 1t may bevery trus that & nation owes its nauntical supremacy to this descrintion of youth ; but he don’t run away to sea from that distant and patriotic motive ; be goes to sea becanso he doesn’t like what is good for him on land ; sod alwost 1mmediately, though that is beside the question, finds Lie hss made a grest misiake. Similarly, a man does aot 50 to Tartary or Kamtchatka to improve his mind : if Le venturss to toll mo that (supposing he was not & very tall man, and bad po reason to suppoes he had a yataghsn or aoy other ont- 1audish weapon concealed about bis person), I ebould Isugh in his face, No: ho fiies tosuch obscure regions becanze the restraints of civ- ilization are abhorrent to lus undisciplined mipd, and he uas eome morbid tasta; say, for human flosh—uncooked. The mildest- spoken man I ever met in my life, and the greatest traveler, onca coufided to me, after a most excellent dinner at our Club, that, ‘“‘after all,” there was nothing like aucooked food. Ile did not say human food, but I Lnew well enongh what he meant. He has repented sinco of having let out g0 much, and endoavors to renseure mo by conventional bebavior and con- ver=ation. *‘The world i8 small," nosnys (he has been around it two or three times), “and give bim England ; for, when all is gaid, tbat is the best place to Iive iu; " bub this does not deceive me for n moment. ‘That man is a caonibal at heart. I heve seen him look at plump snd tender people in a peculiar way. and I would not trust him alone with my baby for & small fortune. That sweet child would take rank among the *‘mysterions dis- appearancee.” He wonld sy, *‘How should 1 kpow ?” like the frog that swallowed the duck’s egg; but I should botter than the duck. 1f you think theso apprebensions ex- treme, you are, of course, welcome to your own opinions ; some people are more sanguine than others, and also more simple. My mind is, I think, a tolerably fair one, andI havae eutertained suspicions against thoso who istant latitudes are compelled to_ visit against their - wills. Queen’s messon- rers, convicte, sailors, ctc., etc, may very respecteble persons in tbeir way, notwithstanding where they may have been to. Such was my charitable belief until within the last few days ; since which 1 have seen some reason to chaug@ it. One of thw yuictcat ond best fellows 1 ever knew—and I bave known him all my life—was Simpson of Bussora. I wasat echool with him five-and-forty years ago, and, thongh his honse of business is at the distfnt spot just mentioned, 1 had met him from fime to time during his periodical vigits to tlus country, snd always found him wunchanged —gontle, unassuming, modest, and orthodox in his opinions. Our house does a little busincss with him io sbawls and carpets, but our ac- uaintance is mainly social, My wifo and aughters are vory partial to him, and delight in bis Persian tales, which are pictaresque aud full of local color. Ha bringa them little bottles of geent, which perfume the whola neighborhood, aod now and then a scarf that is the envy of their friends. I never entertsined noy idea of Simpson 88 & son-in-law until my wife put it into my boad. He lived too far away for me to picture him in sucha relation. and. though I knew be had maney, I did not think bho bad made encugh to retnrn home and settle. Ilis incomo was & very handsoms ono ; but living at Dussora, ba had given me to understend, was dear, and did not admit of much eaving. Above all, Simpson struck me as by no means & marry- ing man. Whenever the subject of matrimony was mooted, he always smiled in that dry, eyn- jcal way which proclaims the confirmed bachelor. THousehold matters did not interest him 5 ho did not take much to cbildren; be wonld smoke mntil the smell ~ hours of the, morping, and reise his eyebrows when one s2id 1t was Iste, zud perhaps one’s wifo might positting up. Ho would say, * Real- 1y !" as though such su 1des as one's wifo sitting up for one was proposterous, but conld never concern him. 1 need not go into the canges which led to my ccnversing with Simpeon on the subject of mat- rimony. _Sufflea it to say that I did not do so of my own free will. I had recaived instructions {rom my wife to *‘gound " Simpson on tho mat- ter, with relntion to some *‘idens™ that she had got into hor head with respect to our second dauglter Jane, aud ** to hear was fo oboy,” a8 they say at Bussors. *¢Mfy desr Simpson,” snid T. &g we were crack- ing our walnuts togstber after & little dinner under my own roof, I ofton wonder why a man like you. with o Jarge income snd a fine house, 84 you describe your home to be at Buesora, Las never married. It must be rather wrotched liv- ing out thera alose.” * Well, it would be, no donbt,” said Simpson, in his quiet way: *Bat, Lord bless you! 1've ‘been married these twenty years.” You might have knocked me down with a foathor. * Alarried these twenty vears! You astound me. Why, how was it you never spoke about it 2" . «Qb, I don't know ; X thought it wouldn’t in~ terest you. She was s Persian, you know. If she hed been a Europesn, then I should have told yon." wA Persian wife! Dear me,” said I, “how funny it seems!” Isaid *fanoy,” but at the same time all the suspicions that L entertained (aud now entertain more than ever) respecting travelers and persons who abjure civilization, crowded into my mind. ‘‘Now what color, my Jdear Simpeop, if I may pat the question with- ont impertience, re your children 27 +:Well, we've got no childreu,” gaid_Bimpson, in his usual imperturbable tone. *We never bad any.” Ido not quite know why, but eomchow or other I thought this croditable to Simpaon. It was very wrong in him to have married a Per- gisn, perhaps a Fire-worshiper, or ot beets Monammedan, bat it was a comfort to think the evil had, so to agenk, ptopped there. To think of Simpson with & heap of party-colored chil- drep, professing, perhaps, their mother's ont- Iendish faith as they grew up, would have been painful to me. in connection with the fact that Simpson was at that mowont under my rool, the same roof with my wife and dsughters, and that I was the church-warden of oar district church. I forsook at once the particulsr eub- ject of Simpson's wife to discuss the general Bubject of polygsmy. **The Persisns havemoro wives than one, bave they not #” inquired L *Those who can afford it have,” said be; * but it is not 8o usual a8 you may imagine,” +I need not ask how £0 prothigate & system must neeas work,” said I ~ “ Itis a domestic failure, of course ?" = ¥You need nob atk the question, 86 you repliod Simpson, cracking 2 walnut. * Bng if you do ask, I am bound to oy it is eo far like marriage 10 this country—i: is Eomotimes a domeatic failure and sometimos vot, Perhaps it requires more judgment in selection ; you have not only to please rourself, you know, bus to please your other wive ‘*Goodness graciops I said J. “bow coolly you talk about it! I hope no European'who fappens to be resident in this strapge commnni- ty ever givesin to the custom " _“Some do and some dou't,” wag the reply of Simpeon. **1lived in Persia with one wife for fifteon years before I gava in.” “What! you married & second wife, sour Srst wifg being alive 2" ~Just e0,” was the unabashed rejoinder. Simpson swept tho walnnt-shells iato a coruer of his plate, snd lelped bimself to eberry. *‘I have now four wives." ‘*Bless my soul and body!" #aid I.. “Four wives " “Yes. The story of my littio seem in your ears rather cnrious. bore you, I'll tell you about it.” L had no words “to_declino the offer, even if T wished it. My breath was fairly taken away by Simpson's fonr wives. Tho traveler that had Iiked his food uncooked had given me tathera turn; but that was potbing to this revelation ef 1y present companion: o man we had always considered of the highest respectability, and whom my wife had even thought would have suited onr Jane. “Well, it was st n picpic party on the plains near Bussora that the thing first camo about. My wifo and I wers both prosent at it; and my European notions preveating my belicviug there could be tho least misun- derstanding about it, sinca I was aiready mar- ried, I made myself vory agrdeable to a certain Persian Iady. She was neither young nor pret- ty.—just like what my wife hersell, indeed, had grown to be by thet time,—and I no more thongnt of making ber my No. 2 than—dear me! —of cmbracing Mohammedanism. My atten- tions, howoser, were misconstrued ; and her brother, being a violent man in tho Shah's cav- alry, and knowiog I bad a fairish income, in- sisted upon iny becoming bis brother-in-law. T bolieve Iriah marriages are often brought about in thoe eama way, o there was notbing in fhat ; tho pecnliarity of the case lay in my having o wife already, and one who was very reso- lute indecd fo yrevent my having avother. [ epare yvon_tho troublos that ensued. Be- tweou my No. 1 wife on the one hand, and her sharp tongue, and the officer of Spahis or tho other, with his sharp sword, I was placed in a very unplensant positivn, I promise you ; but in the end I married Khaleda. I am sorry to eay the two ladies got on extremoly ill to- pethor, It was eaid by o great English wit that wheu ono's wifa gots to be 10, oue oaght to cbauge ber for twe 208, like o £il-pote, and I dare say thay would be very nice: bat, unbappily, 1 had now two wives, ench 49, it they wers o day, and there was no prospect of gotfing them changed, or parting from them in any way. R§“ Pirouze and Khaleds lod me a most un- happy hife. They quatreled from wmorsing to night, aud so far from being able to play off_ona agaiust the other, as I haa secretiy boped, Twas treated with great uukindoess by both of them. They were o matter of very considorable ex- pense, of conrse, and very httlo eatisfaction. My position, in fact. became intolerable : and, s I conld please neither of them, I rezolved to plenso myself by marrying No. 3.” A twenty, Isuppose? " sal menage may 11 it will not , iuterested in spite of myself in this ramarkable narration. 4 Well. yes ; tunt is, she would have heen a tweaty in ‘Evgland, but in Persia young ladios marry a good deal earlier. Sho wasa charming creature, and cost me—" 4+ What ! did vou buy hor 2" eried I, in aston- isbmeut and horror. * Well, no, not exactlv; her father, how- aver, insisted upon something handsoms, and there were henvyish fees to be paid fo her mother and sisters, and to the Governor of Bussorn. The custom of tho country is curi- ous in that respect. After one's eecond wife n considerabla tax is levied by the Govern- ment upon marrying men. However, Badours way worth all the money : she gang, she played divinely; that is, she would have done so if she had noc been alwaya crying. Pironze and Kbaleda made her life utterly miserable. Iith- orto they had been at daggers drawa with one another, but pow they united together to perse- cuto the unhappy Badours. Her very life was searcely safe with them. Wretched as my for- mer lot bad beeo, it was n0w become uaendura- ble, for one can bear ouo's own misery bet- ter than that of those we lave.” Horo Simpson took out bis haodkerchief. of a Dbeoutiful Persian pattern, and prossed it to bis eyes. “Yes, my dear friend, they led my Badonra 8 dog's Iife—did theso two women. 1 folt myself powerless to protect her, for1 waa never very strong ; and, thoagh I did not understand one- half of the epithrets they showered upon ber, I could see by the elfect thov badupon ber that they wora most injurions—what I have no doudt wonld iu this country be conmdered actionable. For her, however, there wus no remedy, end I think she would bave sunx no- der their persecntion had I not married Zobside.” 4 No, 4!” gaid L aghast. *What on earth did you do that for " Y married Zobeida solaly and wholly for La- douras sake. I choso her, not for her besuty, her virtuss, nor her accomplishments, but entire- 1y for her thews and sivews. I said to her, * Zo- baide, yonare a strong and poswerful young woman : if I maks you my wife, will you protecc my lamb ?' and she said, ‘I will” Ib was the ‘most satisfactors investment—I mean, the hap- piest choice—I ever made. Ay home i8 uow the abods of peace. In one wing of the bouse abide Pirouze and Khaleda, in ths other Zobeide and Badoura: two on the east 8ido and two onthe West. Each respcots the other; for. althomgh Pironze snd Kbaleds are strong females, and conld cach wring the neck of my dear Badoura, Zobeide is stronger than both of thom put to- gother, snd protects her. Thus the opposing elements are, as it were, naturalized; the com- batants ragpect one another, and I am the head of a united house. I got letters from all of my four wives this morning, each of them most characteristic and interesting: Dadoura forgot to pay the postage—sho kas a'soul above pecu- n!x]ury Qetafls—and her lotter was the dearest of Al “Don't ory, Simpgon,” said I: “don't cry, old fellow. The steamer goes on Tuesdny, and then you will see oll yonr wives aguin. Thoy will weleomo you with outstretchod arms—eight ontstretched arms, like the octopus.” I conless I was affecied by my friend's artless narration, at that time, though, sinca I have reflected upon the matter, my ‘moral sense as once morenasort- od itself, and is ontraged. I stato the mattor aa fairly as Ican. Ihave been to picnics my- self, as a married man, and made myself agree- able to the ladles. Wall, in Porsia this might bave cost me my life, or the expense of o Bec- ond cstablishment. So far, there is every ex- cato for Simpson. But, on the other hand, the nstounding foct romains that there are four Mrs. Simpeous st Bussora. Whenever I look at his quiet, business-like face, or bear him talking to my wifo and the giclsabout Persian scenary, this revelation of his etriles mo snew with wonder. Of course I have not told them about his do- mestic relations ; it wonld be too ereat n shock to their respective systems ; vet the possession of such a gecret all to myeelf is too hard to bear. aud I have, therefore, Iaid 1t before the public. The whole thing resolves itself inton rule-of-three sum. If even a quiet, respectable follow like Simpson, residiog at Bussors, has Jour wives, how many wives—well, I don't meau exactly thal; but how much queeror things must people do who are not 8o quict and re- TR ARTED ZARHNE] 1 ITZ, 5 irom his brother ?
