Lamartine's reputation declines with every new attempt of his at money-making. There was never a man capable of doing well a half of what he advertises. He is writing a romance on the destruction of the Janizaries, for the _Pays_, another romance for the _Siecle_, and occasionally gives _feuilletons_ to other journals; he is re-editing a complete edition of his own works, writing a history of the Restoration, and a history of Turkey, and has lately begun to edit a daily paper. He also continues the monthly pamphlet, of between thirty and forty pages, the _Conseiller du Peuple_, on political matters, and produces once a month a periodical, _Les Foyers du Peuple_, in which he gives an account of his travels, with tales and verses. * * * * * The Paris correspondent of the London _Literary Gazette_ states, that an Assyrian, named FURIS SCHYCYAC, is at present attracting some attention in the literary circles. He had just arrived from London, where, it appears, he translated the Bible into Arabic, for one of the religious associations. He has accompanied his _début_ in Parisian society with a _mudh_, or poem, to Paris, in which he almost out-Orientals the Orientals in his exaggerated compliments and gorgeous imagery. Paris, he declares, amongst other things, is the "terrestrial paradise," the "_séjour_ of houris," and "Eden;" whilst the people are, _par excellence_, "the strong, the generous, the brave, the sincere-hearted, with no faults to diminish their virtues." This master-stroke has opened the Parisian circles to the cunning Assyrian. * * * * * M. Leroux has published in Paris a volume of Reminiscences of Travel and Residence in the United States, with observations on the Administration of Justice in this country. * * * * *
