SARAH BERNHARDT ILL.

PARIS, Oct. 29.-M. Sardou, the dramatist, was interviewed and describes Mme. Bernhardt as really ill. Her nerves are unstrung and prostrated. Besides her artist cares she is subjected to money anxieties arising from the negligence of her pecuniary affairs. She exaggerates everything in life from grief to joy. She deals in money matters in a break-neck fashion, making her money fly right and left. She has exhausting angers and furious heats. M. Sardou visited her recently and he found her a prey to the most violent excitement, twisting her body, rolling about the carpet, biting the rugs, and in a high state of exasperation. A domestic drama had evidently just been finished. There were blows in the air. Sardou expects a speedy recovery of Mme. Bernhardt, and only the magnetizing doctor is now permitted to see her.
