ITEMS FROM PARIS.

- » . v. From Our Own Cortespondnnt COWBOYS IN PABIS. Four of the con boys who are just now ;i appeariug at a well-known Parisian place of amusement »aye the public a little un ' rehe. rse<i exhibition of their skill on .the Qua! de la Conference the other ofterooon. Near the place de l'Alma a fine French poodle cr>mmennf>d to bark at the horses with the result- thai one of the animals com menced to kick and plunge m an alarming manner. The gancho, a master m the art of riding, took no notice of this, but as the dog showed no signs of abating his gambols, and as the pub ie thoroughfare is not cxacily the place for an exhibition of a Mexican pony's buck-jumping capabilities, he eooly took a lasso which hung by the side of his saddle, and without the least effort, to the surprise of the spectators, captured the dog. Then he quieted his mount, and having drawn the dog (which by this time had com menced to yelp) to him, released the animal. Just then the dog's master, a certain French Count, came aloDg and an angry discussion ensued m which the cowboys were lost, on account of their lack of knowledge of the Frenoh language. The result of it was that the cowboy who lassoed the dog and the Count got taken before the Commissary. The cowboy has to answer a slight offence under the Urammont Act, but the Count, whose, dog was neither muzzled nor on a chain, and without the owner's name on the collar, ia to have a triple summons for con travention of the laws to answer.
