show the in greater perfection than it here in of twenty to forty acres wood also becomes far more abundant in the region and continues so nearly up to the walls of paris and other trees of slender foliage being planted in rows across the fields as well as by the streams and road sides the vine which had vanished with the bolder scenery of the only within sight of paris where many of the cultivated fields a or of cultivation unworthy of the neighborhood of a great metropolis i presume there will be more and half within twenty miles of paris than in all i find paris and france in a state of connected with the debate in the assembly on the proposed of the constitution the best speeches are yet to be made but already the attention of the people is fixed on tlie discussion and it will be followed to the end with daily increased that end as is well known will be a defeat of the proposed and of all schemes looking to the legal and peaceful of or the of louis napoleon and this discussion this result will have immensely strengthened the republic in the hearts of the french millions as well a in the general conviction of its and if with the crippled as it is and probably must continue to be a heartily republican president can be elected here next may an impulse will be given to the movement throughout europe which can scarcely be live the republic paris to london london july thb and most usual route from paris to london is that by way of and but as i had ed that once and part of it twice i resolved to try another for my return and chose the and most direct of all � that by way of new haven and the railroad � which is miles shorter than the route but four times as long a passage and so is spun out to more than twice the length of the other we left paris at yesterday morning halted at the fine old town of before noon were in at p m but there we waited for a boat till after then were eight hours crossing the channel had to wait at new haven till after this morning before the custom house scrutiny of our baggage was begun so that only a few were enabled to take the first train thence for london at a quarter to i was not among the lucky ones but had to hold on for the second train at a quarter past and so did not reach this city till after or twenty six hours from paris though with a little enterprise and a decent boat on the channel the trip could easily be made in hours � four for the french side six for the channel two for the english side and two for custom delay and of all kinds if or mr would only take compassion o if and t at europe europe in the matter of building and establish a branch of his business on this side of the atlantic he would do the cause of human progress a service and contribute to the of the sum of mortal misery the night was mild and fair the wind light the sea consequently smooth and i suffered less and repented my choice of a route less than i had expected to but consider the facts here was the most direct route by railroad and between the two great of europe � a route constantly by multitudes from all parts of world � yet the only boats provided for the liquid portion of the way are two little black concerns each perhaps seventy feet long by fifteen wide with no deck above the water line and not a single berth for even a lady passenger though making one passage each night who could suppose that two tolerably civilized nations would endure this in the middle of we were nearly two hundred passengers and the boat just about decently held us but had not sitting room for all above and under the deck but as about half being second class had no right to enter the main cabin those who had that right were enabled to sit and and try to cheat themselves into the notion that they would sleep to their aid after a while occasionally on or two having left for a turn on deck some drowsy mortal would stretch himself on a at full length but the of others seats would soon compel him to resume a half upright posture and so the passage wore away and between and this morning we reached new haven a petty sea port at the mouth of the little river where we were permitted promptly to land our baggage and repair to a convenient inn here i with several others invested two british shillings in a chance to sleep but the venture at least in my case proved a losing one vi i xi k to pa t to london bed and the incessant ringing of bells c kept us for the most part awake and called us up at a very early hour to for the recovery of our baggage and lose the early train at last the country stretching north westward from paris to miles is less thoroughly cultivated than any other i have seen in europe out of italy i saw more and thin and ragged wheat than i had noted elsewhere grass is the chief after leaving the garden covered vicinity of paris though wheat and are cultivated the root crops promise poorly indian corn is hardly seen though the vine is considerably grown this region is generally well wooded but in a straggling accidental way which has the effect neither of of plantation nor of the natural of genuine forests fruit is not abundant is considerably the dwellings of
