PARIS, NAT.
Already the
_pries of Wilms has fallen nearly
Iffy pee oat. The Exhibition fever is abating. Thal
pulse of Paris beats more quietly. Two months ago
a gentlemen, owning on the Avowd'Antitt, required 160, f. lor his house during the
Exhibition tune—be subsequently let it for 60,000 f.
Hotel proprietors who, ten days ego, 'eked 16t.
per day roe the soot modest quarters, are now
content with Bf. for the same aceocuinodation. It is
well that people have ems to their seams so mon.
The rain, however, hoe undoubtedly had much to do
with it. People will not talus the trouble to swim
even to an Universal Exhibition. They wait till the
floe weather has sat in, and the new bonnet can be
safely won. It is true that the confirmed right-seer
is abmt the most savage animal in existence—
devoid of all courtesy, with a probing nose, that
nothing on earth can resist hut rain—con-
nouns heavy rain, from elands evenly heavy—
appals him. He skulks home, and you may me
atm flattening his nose against the window-pane of
his lodging, looking esgerly_ont for the first break in
the heavy masses above. He most have had a terri-
ble time of it daring the last week. If he has made
his way nos or twice to the Exhibition, damp and
fretful, he must have got an additional chill from the
icy atniosphem of the place—the want of spirit—of
life. In the Crystal Palace of 1861 delight's' music
rose at intervals on all sides. Here the stillness of
the place is broken ooly by the click of hammers and
the tuning of organs. People wander listlessly about,
end wonder where the refreshment stalls am. Fait
for a week or two say the Exhibition authorities, and
then you shall see a coairoodioss buffet; meantime be
content with the marble fruit in the plastic decora-
tion court, a court where a gigantic model of the
Venue de Milo presides as dome de corriproir. We
shell hear what the holiday folk of Sunday next will
my to this kind of refreshment; for I have remarked
that the Parisian out for a holiday is hardly inferior
in his power over refreshment to the Londoner on a
similar occasion. The grimotte takes gromille whereas
the holiday makiog English servant imbibes beer. The
Paris workman takes coffee and brandy, whereas the
London workman addicts himself to gin. In the
matter of eating we may remark differences. The
grisette, the Paris workwoman, is passionately fond
of pleas ; the London wotkwoinan, out for a holi-
day, has a relish as hearty for sandwiches or bread
and cheese. Well, in this Exhibition neither the
Paris nor the London working population could find
a crumb to eat at present. But the buffet will be
open next month, we are told. Meantime, let even
the crowds to be let in gratis on Sunday next, by
order of the Emperor, fast. This will be the com-
pany's revenge upon the generosity of the govern-
! meta.
