LATEST PARISIAN SCANDAL.
ORGIES OF A BARON AND A MARQUIS. ' By the arrest in Paris of Baron Axel d'Adelsward the veil has -been lifted on a series of shocking scandals in high life. For the present considerable reticence is observed with respect to the identity of the persons implicated, but it is certain that orgies of- a disgusting description have been almost openly carried; on in the most fashionable quarters of Paris. The baron occupied au apartment in the Avenue Friedland, whilst in the Avenue MaeMahon a marquis, whose name is withheld, has taken to flight for similar malpractices; These two poisons received aristocratic ladies, priests and others, and z amid surroundings of Oriental luxury, indulged in scenes of revolting immorality. The piolice have discovered a complete paraphernalia of impious rites. Apparently the infection was not confined to a degenerate few, for it has been proved that as many as thirty persons at a time would assist at the gatherings. ' Owing to the indiscreet 'babbling of some youths, the detectives learnt what was going on. Baron d'Adelsward, who appeared before tho magistrate lately, made admissions which have determined the authorities to proceed to further arrests.
