M. de Blowitz Retires.

It is announced that M. do Blowitz has resigned the Paris correspondence of the London Times and retired to private life, and that he has been succeeded by Arthur Fullerton, an American. M. de Blowitz, who is credited /with having invented the interview in journalism, began his work for the Times in 1871, a few months after he had earned the gratitude- and confidence of M. Thiers by notifying the government of the doings of the Com-' mune in Marseilles, where he was a teacher of languages. His intimate relations with the statesmen of Europe has enabled him to give the world news which no other correspondent could get, and his dispatches to the Times, being repeated from London to other

countries, have made him known wherever newspapers are read. _
