PABIS , JIarch 30. [ Via Mackay-Bonnott
, ble. ] The overthrow of the cabinet has
one something to calm the whirlwind of pas
ion caused by the news from China. But
the excitement here is still intense , nor is it
, t all unlikely that Jules Ferry , who is held
0 bo chiefly responsible for this diaster , may
et bo called upon to expiate bis policy more
irinfully than by the more loss of power. His
mpoachment for treason to his country is
itill spoken of. Wilder spirits oven demand
ho impeachment of President Grevy , but , as
1 senator who knows th < j president well , re
marked ta the Tribuao corroapondent at the
"juxembourg this afternoon. th president has
lover had any opinion in the Tonquin ques
tion , and it would be hard to expert him to
uffer at his ago for his honest if unfortunate
.evotion to the idea that the president of the
epublic , being useless , thould do nothing.
An evening paper , moreover , declares that
I. Grevy has been BO far roused by events as
o express the opinion that the utmost "firm-
, ess is now necessary. " But aa he saoms to
, ave added that ho did not think matters ao
isastrous aa the papers fancy , it wouU bo
ihildiah to hope for much assistance in the BO-
ition of the preeent difficulties from the
orthy old gentleman at the Klysee.
THE MAN WHO "fOLD YOU HO. "
Waldcck-Rosseau , Kouvior Raynal , and
en. Lewat , who represented the Gambettist
; raditions in the cabinet , are now as furious
vith M. Ferry as the fiercest radicals. They
> ro doing their utmost to persuade people that
, hey have been deceived and duped. The
mly statesman associated more or less with
il. Ferry In the Tonquin business who seems
iontent is Gen. Campenon. He has the satis-
action of having foreseen what was coming.
'Was I not right , " he remarked to-day ,
to ay that I would not play the patt of n
larahal lo Boeuf to that new Emllo Ollivior ? "
A I'ESSIMIBSIO VIEW.
The coniciousness that the eyes of Europe
ro watching them makes statesmen chary of
ixpresaing their real views to foreigners. In
: onversatlon with the Tribune correspond-
int 1. Duclerc , who was premier and minis-
, er of foreign affairs two years ago , to-night
ilfected a serene absence of alarm about the
iltuation. He said : "I have no anxiety , and
rust that no Frenchman has any. Franca has
; ono through moro than one crisis in Algeria ,
iiid has come out with honor. Why not in
China ? "
\NOTI1ER MAN WHO VACXS THK SITUATION ,
Another ex-minister of foreign affairs , a dis-
.inguished . senator and dear friend of M.
Thiers , was , however , moro frank. In the
: ourso of a Ion ? talk with the Tribune cor
espondent at the senate during the debate
, hla afternoon ho said :
"Tho situation Is grave , It ia difficult to
'oretell what will come of it. We know that
French soldiers will bo always brave , but
> ho > e who are fighting In Tonquin are un <
happily young and Ill-fitted to resist the
deadly climate ! To retreat from Tonqnln now
wo cannot. Wo have been struck in th * face
and must reply. But all this strangely help !
Prlnco Bismarck to work outhls Oriental plans ,
Austria is pushing towards Constantinople ,
Trouble seoma hovering near Salonlca. Twc
preat nations may soon be struggling for the
sovereignty of Asia , Whan the llame U kin-
died in Afghanistan it will bo difficult fni
luropean onlookers to iwnid being dragged
nto the fray. What will Franco do when thi
will have to hold aloof J Kven in China il
will not be easy to hold our own , for wo cat
ill-afford the loss of even a few hundred men ,
Our soldiers are civilized and know the valut
of life. "

ifternoon that a contract for the lease of th
Jentral Pacific to the Southern Pacific com
pany for ninety-nine years had been practi

stated , will probably take effect April 1. I
provides that the Southern Pacific railroai
company shall assume air the obligation
of tbo Central Pacific , pay all taxe
and the interest on the bonded am
floating debts of the last namci
company. Too Central Pacific Is to roceivi
in addition as rental a minimum of $1,200,001
a year and so much more as the ( surplus earn'
inga may justify up to $3,000,000. The last
mentioned sum ia equivalent to G per can

Pacific , the tyatom of which includes nisi
certain leased roads In California , tioparati
accounts of the earnings and expenses of thi
Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific ante
to be kept , but the administration of botl
will bu concentrated ,
All of the roads west of II1 Paao are to b

pany ia nearly § 100,000,000 , and the company
it la said , owns stocks and bonds ot the ( llller
put properties included in the comblnatiot t <
an aggiejalo amount exceeding that sum.
The renaoiu for making this importan1
lease , as stated in the preamble to the con
tract , are subitantially aa follows : It appear
that p.irt of thd business heretofore done b ;
the Central Pacific railroad from Oqden t
the waters of the Pacific haa been divertei
by the Northern Pacific , Atlantic & Pacific
and Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fe railroad !
and that the Union Pacific company ha

o sank into a semi-conscious condition which
n his case was called eleep. In thia condi-

, woke and startled those prooont by hia
( forts to breathe , Tha dreadful choking
nsation caused by the gathering of the
tucus matter in his nostrils and throat had
ome again , and it was thought that his
eath would result , a carriage was hastily
ummond and the faithful colored valet ,
laniion , waa dispatched in hot haste
.or Ire , Douglas and Shrady. They
came quickly at the call , and hastily pissed
'o the room of the eick man , Again the car-
Uge rattled away with Harrison , this time
or the Rav. J. P. Newman and U. 8. Grant ,
Jr. , who is stopping at the St. Cloud hotel.
They , too , came In haste , and their faces wore
"ull of anxiety as they entered the mansion ,
i or half an hour nothing could be learned.
Then the doors were thrown open , and once
gain the colored valet hnrried away in the
joach. Aa ho entered the coach ho shouted
Lo the inquirers on the sidewalk : "I am going
to tbo druggist's to get a prescription filled.
The general ia very weak and very aick. " The
whole house waa lighted , and the shadows

enough that hia words were true , and that

I'clock , when Senator Chaffee drove , up and

_ > eople had gathered in the street and eagerly
awaited the news of the patient'a condition ,
All hoped for the beat but their hopes wort
clouded by the medical opinion which left IK
foundation for a favorable turn , At a fen
noments after seven o'clock , the cheering
: iewa came out that once again the doctcri
Itad gained tha mastery over the arcumulatei
matter in General Grant'n throat , and thai
Mioir patient waa easier A favorable bul

, ho anxiety of those present , for the dylnj
loldler's heart began to trouble him , Tin

A KEMINISOENCE.
IOW A FAULT-KINDING WOMAN WAS REBUKED
FOIl HER ADU.SE OK THK GRKAT OKNKRAL.
alena , III. , Special to the Chicago Tribune.
When Gen. Grant was in command at Fort
Donelaon , In 1862 , a number of northern
.vomen went down there to assist as nurses in
.he . hospitals , Amen ? them was the wife of
n certain western senator who distmgulahod
himself for his hostility to the great comman
der when the latter was unden a cloud. The
woman in question was unwilling to put up
with things as eho found them
[ or the good of the old flag , but insisted
upon having matters revolutionized ac
cording to her own ideas of propriety. The
hospital locations wanted changing , the phy
sicians in attendance were Incompetent ; she
.vould . Ilka to have a carriage at her command ;
iho called for an orderly to do this nnd an or
derly to do that ; the officers were remiss in
their attention to her in short , nothing went
right with her , but everything was wrong , and
"abominably so" at that. Grant knew this
woman well , having boon frequently pestered
by her complaints and demands , and on one
occasion , when patience with him had ceased
to be u virtuehe tcld her plainly that ho "waa
not sent to Doneleon to obey the behests of
petticoats , but to command the army. " ha
tlirtfd from his presence In a rage , and ere
long went back to her home , To roach the
latter place she took passage aboard of a
Mlsiisaippi steamboat , commanded by a
Galena man , an old river captain and a per
sonal friend and great admirer of Gen. Grant.
The first night out the skipper was making
himaelf agreeable to hu paetengers In the
cabin , especially the women , when he chanced
to remark to one of the latter , In the presence
of the hereinbefore-mentioned female , that he
was a resident of Galena , and had lived there
many years ,
"You say you live at Galena ? " Interposed
the senator's wife. ' 'That is where tbat dirty
drunken Grant came from , it n'c it ! " she con *
tinned ,
Turning to the inteimeddter the captain
glared at her a moment , nnd at latt , in a voice
tremblinf with passion , he said :
' 'Madam , I don't know who you are.but thlt
1 do know ; that if you were a man Instead ol
un apology for a woman I'd knock every tooth
down your throat if you didn't taku back the
He you just uttered againtt Gen. Grant : and ,
by the i.ord Harry , I have half a notion tc
bank you , night though it is , for thd slander , '
There was great excitement In the cabin fni
the moment , the passengers heartily aiding
with the captain and manifesting their appro
bation of the severe reprimand administered
by him to the senator's wife. As for the lat
ter , with red mantling bet cheeks she ulunl
away to thi rear ol the cabin without dtlfrn
ing to reply , and from that time until nil !
reached the end of her trip she was not at nl
troubled with company.
