Le 21 mai 1880, l. a. veille de l. a. parution des Croquis parisiens, le directeur du Gaulois, Arthur Meyer, présente à l. a. une de son magazine un "bataillon renouvelé de chroniqueurs, pris parmi les jeunes". Au programme : "Les Mystères de Paris, par M. Huysmans", auteur de quatre textes parus du 6 au 26 juin 1880. Ce "réaliste de l. a. nouvelle école" suggest l'exploration d'un Paris qu'il ne fait pas bon fréquenter lorsqu'on est un honnête bourgeois : les coups de poings s'échangent facilement, l'eau est "destinée non à être bue, mais à aider l. a. fonte du sucre". "C'est dans l'un de ces endroits", annonce l'auteur, "que je mènerai le lecteur, s'il n'a element l'odorat trop brilliant et le tympan trop faible".

Cette série oubliée nous fait pénétrer dans l'atelier de confection des ouvrières comme dans celui de l'écrivain. "Robes et manteaux" a été distillé dans un roman : En ménage (1881). "Tabatières et riz-pain-sel" aurait pu connaître le même variety, mais l'oeuvre ne fut pas achevée, et le texte servit d'esquisse au "Bal de l. a. Brasserie européenne" (ajouté à l'édition augmentée des Croquis parisiens en 1886). "Une goguette", modifié et repris dans plusieurs revues jusqu'en 1898, n'avait jamais été réédité dans ses premières types. Et si "L'extralucide" et sa cocasse séance de magnétisme ont été abandonnés, los angeles query des phénomènes inexplicables a fini par être prise au sérieux. Elle est au cœur des réflexions de Durtal, qui se demande, dans Là-bas (1891) : "comment nier le mystère qui surgit, chez nous, à nos côtés, dans l. a. rue, partout, quand on y songe ?"
