by ‘ the Angry Bernhardt.
Paris, December 22.—The Bernbardt-Colombler
affair continues to be almost the exclusive topic of
discussion to-day, and the names of the dramatif
persona* are on everybody's lips.
Your correspondent called upon Mme. Sarah
Bernhardt yesterday afternoon, at her hotel In tho
Rue Fortuny. At the moment of ray arrival 8a*
rah Bernhardt was getting ready to go to the Thea
ter Porto Baint Martin, for the final rehears«l of
"Nana Sahib." she received jour correspondent
in a walking dress and cloak trimmed with fur, in
the celebrated atelier where Sarah Bernhardt re
ceives all her frlonds.
The principal ornament of the room is a large
portrait of Mire. Bernhardt, painted by Glalriu,
which bangs over the fire-place. On a colnmn of
marble is expoced tho portrait rf Emilo de Girar*
din, by Sarah herself.
THE MADAME** TALC.
Mmc. Bamh&rdt remarked: "I do not know any s
thing about tho miserable book; nor more did my*
son, until wo saw the article of M. Mirbean. 1
"In bis article M. Mirbeau takes up the cudgels
rigorously 1 u your defense. Do you know him?'
No, I never saw him; bat he like all respo ct>
able people, seems indignant at the infamous
scandals written by the filloColombler."

"Daring the whale affair what was the attitude of

"Ho! uclv coward! he cried out for tho police. He
was afraid."
"You left before tho arrival of tho pollne?"
"Yes; Just before they arrived. Now,volls, Mon

about ibis little Parislau story more than the Paris
ians themselves do. 1 am pleased. It would have
pained me very much to have had toe American

once again and soon, have wrong Impressions about
tola affair, where pay reputation as a woman is en

Mae. Bernhardt shook hands, and as she was
about to tay adieu, suddenly called, "Petiole!
Fellcle?" A femme de chambre appeared. "Bring
me my cat-o'-utne-talls!" The femme de chambre
disappeared, and returned with a cat-o’-ninetails,
mado of a dozen long strips of cowhide, attached
to a wooden handio.

The appearance of Bernhardt at the theater, to
tako ber part In the rehearsal of too new play,
"Naua Sahib," was toe occasion of great comment
Friends gave many evidences of sympathy with
her, and too coolucm ot her demeanor after the
neat drama lu which sko played tbep«rt of leadiug
lady, waa toe theme of cousteerablo applause. The
general opinion is that the affair will have Its se
quel in the law courts, and, as a consequence, spec
ulation is busy as to what developments will grow
out of it. Jehan Soudan* on behalf of Coldmbler,
challenged M. Kichcplu to fight a duel. Klcheplu
declined toe challenge. Soudan subsequently
published the foltowlng:
"I have found Kicheptn a coward In the presence
of a woman, and fouud him a coward with a man.
This U logical."
MLt.Ee COLOM BIER'S VCRSION.
A Paris morning paper publishes toe following
interview with Marie Colombler: The correspond
ent was received at a half open door, faitcuea by a
heavy chain. Oa presenting his card he wu im
mediately ushered by theeervant into toe small
salon, whlca was the scene of toe first
part of the occurrences related os told by Mile. Co
lnmbicr herself: "I wu slulDg in this room," said
Mile. Colombler, "with Mile. Marie des Fresno, of
toe Ambigu, and M. Jehan Soudan, whohadcoiled
to say farewell before going on a Journey, when toe
servan 1 auuouLced M. Maurice and iwogemJemen,
who desired to see mo. ‘Conduct them Into the
drawing room.' 1 Mid, and almost immediately 1
myself entered and recognized Maurice Bernhardt,
aocnmpauled by M. M. Stevens and Kirn Bern-
"M Iternbardt said: 'I have something to say to
J ou,' whereupon I asked him into the small dr
ng room, where I had left my friends.
"Arriving there he addressed me thus: ‘You___
a loose character, and if ever I meet you in public
1 will horsewhip you.'
" 'Thereare four perrons here present,' I replied.
'What prevents your beginning at once?* M.
Bernhardt, however, did not strike me, but he con
tinued to make use of Insulting expressions,where
upon M. Soudan rose and endeavored to prevent
him, but I objected strongly, uylng; *i will not al
low any fricnos of mine to fight on my account,with
a son of Mile. Sarah Bernhardt.'
"Maurice Bernhardt, feeling probably rather un
comfortable at tho ridiculous upshot of his visit,
wu about to retire, when toe eyes of M. Elm
Bernhardt fell upon a crayon sketch of toe frontis
piece to the book I have lately published (Sarah
Barnum.) No sooner had he seen this than he took
it from toe nail on which It wu banging, and
placing It on the floor put his heel upon it.
"Again M. Houdau tried to Interfere, and

taring Incoherently.
"Buts few minutes bad passed, and we were
still commenting upon the strange scene when I
heard a noise la the ante chamber. Opening the
door I perceived Harsh Bernhardt, without any

Of th. failure of 'taptaln Wotlolk tho Columbuo-
8utt says It waa quite a surprise to many of hi
friends and everybody sympathizes with, him la his
misfortune. He is popular, young, enterprising and
full of energy, and public spirit, and no doubt he
will soon survive the reverses ol fortune and take
his Old Stand In the burine** world. It in hoped by
everyono that his suspension will only be tempor
ary and that he may be able to resume business
again soon. His failure was no doubt duo to a con
siderable extent to the low river and inability to
collect large claims due him In southwest Georgia
and Florida. The principal creditors held a meet-
ing i 1 ir**Uy night.
C'apuin Wool folk rays that with toe consent and
by the advice of his largest creditors he will not
mfke an assignment. He will manage the busi
ness himself, and will proceed at once to wind it
np as rapidly as possible. This Js considered toe
best coarse for him to parsae by .tl Interested and
he will do so.
