The Figaro devotes a long article to the voyage of M. Max Lebatidy's yacht, the Semiramis, which, as many will re­ member, started last November on a scientific mission in the Malay archipel­ ago, but without its owner. The idea of the voyage was concaved by Mme. Jules Lebaudy, who, alarmed at her soars expenditure and anxious to remove him from surroundings which she considered dangerous, hoped to coax him into a long absence from France mad thus avoid the unpleasant necessity of doing what she has since done--pro­ viding him with a conseil judiciaire. The Semiramis, which is a fine vessel of *700 tons burden, was fitted up with every possible comfort, and in order to provide M. Lebaudy with interesting employment his mother arranged with the government for the appointment of an ethnographical mission tinder M. Louis Xiapicque, who was to accompany the prodigal. "When the day of the departure came, fcowever, M. Lebaudy positively refused t© go. He would not leave his beloved Paris, but Mme. Lebaudy, who consid­ ered herself pledged to the minister of public instruction, sent the yacht off without him. News &f it had been re­ ceived from time to time, and M. La- picque's scientific efforts^eem to have been crowned with complete success. The Semiramis is expected to return to France in January next.--Paris Herald.
