He first adverUused himself into fame, and though wise men may have now and th read bis advertisements with a smile he took care that they should be worth readiag.

Perbaps, though himself a man of strong and kindly feelings, he addressed himself more to a | People’s nead than to bis heart. His “Sapp'ice rune femme,” one of the stock pieces of the Francais, 1s indeed exquisitely tender in seuti- Ineuf, Dut he ts not by nature @ poet or a ro- mance writer, He 1s rather @ grouper and which he arranges skIH for practival and tinmeciate wants, It used to be sald, with reference to his active habits acd busy pen, that “he got up at daybreak every morping to make anew enemy.” Of laie be does not go in search of adversaries, Dut woe to them If they appreach him with aggres:tve noWons, He has a very old practice of collect- ing all the facts which come to his knowledge laling to the lives of public men. He carefuliy dockets these memoranda, and places them in pigeon holes, where they remain asso many Tupp guns loaded. When an enemy appears, out comes the gun, aud shatters him all to Ppleces with every prookend date, and awkwara truth that can be brought to bear against him. Girardin is however like the British Jingo; ne does not want to fight.” As for personal en- counters he bad enough of ihem in early life, having sbot Armand Carrel dead in bis fourth duel. He then swore that he would never fight again, and a court ef honor to which he ap- eee held that he was justified tn this course. ‘erefore, when an adversary boxed his ears pubiicly on the boulevards, in French fashion, Girardin only called him a *‘coward” (lache): and so he was, for the Oath above recorded was known to all Paris. In Our day Lo ope would think of trying con- Clustons with the famous editor, and’ even bis enemies affect to treat him with that sort of respect with which a dwart may treat a_prize- Mghter. His Jatest quarrel was with Villemes- / days before Girardin had had recourse to the paiticular pigeon hole in which Villemessant's antecedents were all stacked up, and Buch a Figaro man to take fight tn ten directions at added to his beok on the “Euglish in Ireland.” He holds that there are but iwo remedtes for | Irish discontent.

The dinners at his house in the Rue de la Perouse are not only becoming historic.!, but they deserve to be so. Dickens was filed with amazement twenty years ago at the splendor of the genial Frenchman’s hospttaulty, aad sull he has the pleasantest house in Paris. Never was there such a company got together as that which assembles at his house. There only was the late duke of Gramont, with nis diamond Star at his breast, to be met beside Crimieux and Dumas, poor Guyot Montpayroux, aud ali the chiefs of all the factions in France, from Paul de Cassagnac to Gambetta, Then the dinners themselves are excellent. Even the cook of the Palats Bourbon must hide his head before the Girardin cook, and the wine ts of tne rarest vintages.

The breakfasts in the Rue de la Perouse are. if possible, still better than the dinnera.
