ITow Anurlra Looks to the Leading Lady of Her Company. Paris Correspondence Xtw York Sn. Marie Columbier, actress, Bohemian, and a woman oi considerable wit, lias taken ad-vaut.-iw of the revival of Parisian life to publish her dairy of the American tour of Sarah Bernhardt, whom she accompanied in a professional capacity. Some of these letters have already appeared in a Parisian journal. The volume, entitled "The' Tour of Sarah Bernhardtin America," is 'preceded by a preface by Arsene Houssaye, and illustrated by a portrait of Marie Cokjmbier by the impressionist painter, Ed Monet, and by productions of Iwtnilv nr tliirtv A morimn riatiiro rkf Miss Bernhardt," It is reallv a curious record : of nomad artistic life a kind of nineteenth century "Roman Comique," of which the scene "is laid in what the French call the Country of Dollars. Marie Colombier's conclusion is that America is a fine country seen from afar, and that Sarah Bernhardt and herself are glad that they are back again in France. Miss Bernhardt starts from Havre with the conviction that she is going to gain a million, and at the same time that the Americans are going to come to see her as they would go to pee a "white elephant or a tricephalous calf." The expression is her own. In America, probably, nobody cares what Marie Colombier's impressions of the country were, but here in Paris what she pays will be taken by many for gospel. After all, Marie Colotubier is no fool; her book is bright and amusing, and people read it and talk about it. Moreover, she is a journalist. She is now on the regular staff of a smart daily paper, the Henry IV.. and her colleagues in the Parisian press will not be soaring of puffs. This being the case, I shall ask leave to quote briefly a few of Marie Colombier's remarks. Speaking of Clsra Morris' performance in "Alixe" she uys: io, it is impossible for Parisians to figure to themselves the American star. Imagine a woman who could give points to Sarah for leanness, angular, having no longer anj age, and who can never have had any beauty youth perhaps, but a long time ago. Her mouth is a black hole. Her teeth look like cloves stuck in sealing-wax. And people pretend that America is the country of dentists! Shriveled up, mummified, she wears a cherubim wig. At the dramatic moments she sobs with her head in her liands, and you can see her long fingers adjusting the locks of her hempen-blond hair. In short, Marie Colombier pronounces Clara Morris to be without a spark of genius. "She does not know how to talk or how to walk a strolline mountebank." Marie Colombier and her companions are inexhaustible in their unfavorable criticisms of America and the Americans. At Hartford she laughs at the intelligence of the audience who followed Frou Frou in the translation of Phedre. She describes one of Mr. Abbey's Secretaries as "a former slavedriver and spy during the War." Here is her description of the Capital: Washington is a dull, dead-alive town, with broad streets. Happily, the European residents here form a society superior to that of any other town in America. Listen to that, ye Bostonian9, who said in your enthusiasm, "Come again, Marie!" At least, Marie, in her book, says that you did. The monuments,' and they are numerous, rcsem: ble Savoy cakes; the palace of Congress and that of the President are models of bad taste, and all the people of the country are very proud ot them. The ladies of Washington are generally pretty, although, like their sisters of New ork wid Boston, they have not yet been able to learn from their French dressmakers to wear the Paris fashions as thev should be worn. The tour of Sara' Bernhardt, which began so joyfully an t brilliantly, ended, as the reader will remember, in the most commonplace manner and amid general indifference. She had come to earn money and not to win glory, and many a page in Marie Colombier's book shows in what a slip-shod way the performances 'were given. Well, how much money did she earn? According to her companion's account she earned 920,000 francs ($177,500) in 1G6 representations. Out of this Jarrett took 100,000 francs ($19.300); expenses amounted to 200,000 francs ($38.oiO); her creditors and lawyers in Paris took 400,000 francs ($77,200). and she brought home with her a check on the Credit Lyonnais for 220,000 francs ($42,400). Mistaken. Throughout life inevitable mistakes beset our v-ays, ever becoming stumbling-blocks in ourpnth, and leving behind tbeoa bitter regrets for the follies and delusiors under which we have acted. "Well, indeed, if 'tis only the mistake of a glove or ribbon, that can easily be remedied, you would say, and ia net worth a frown. But perchance upon that very dy other troubles have been encountered, the last straw making the burden too heavy for the ribbon may be unsuited to our complexion, and the very tint tha? somebody else has selected; and she, wit) hor pearly brow and rose-tinted cheek, wil resemble one of Venus' loves, and we, tj contrast, an Ethiop. Oh, then, it ' gofe amiss" with a vengtanee. And do we not rf member how the rain once poured down wben the sun should have fchone?-to the detriment of our latest agony in .summer fashions; destroying the thciiihtful study, the hope and pride, of many an over, anxious hour. Did we mistake in rashly

loves.

But so it is, always, 'that or this;" though had we our past years to live over again how many of tboße errors would be rectified what opportunities grafped .that were suffered to flit by unheeded bat good suggestions acted upon, and the wild impulses which have beguiled so many from the hard, straightforward rath of duty carefully shunned? Ah, those impulses each a mistake how prone they are to mislead us in early lifel We pluck a handful of what we believe, fair, bright Cowers, and lol fading in our hands, they are merely poor, scent, less eeds. We shut tip the sweet songbird in a gilded prison, that we may all dav listen to bis wild-wood notes; then he sings no more, but pines and dies.- A lew " years later bring no greater wisdom, for, allured by false glare and hollow ipeciousness, we gather to our hearts the worldling and the worthless, casting from us the loyal and tbe true. Perhaps, loo, iome day may come the last line of our little- star za, and with it the saddest mistake of all.
