The French workman (remarks a Paris corre-
spoodeot) is not ashamed of, in fact he is proud of, his
blouse, and his wife never dreams of a lady's bonnet, but
puts on the snowy cap which makes sneh a picturesque
figure in the streets of Paris. There is none of that absurd
vanity of aping people of ampler means that so pinches the
pockets of some of our people. What would be thought of
the bonne at Paris who kept a showy wand and expensive
bonnet at the greengrocer's, reedy to be assumed on
"Sundays out," in the hope that she should be taken by
some passing stranger for " a real born Ludy r This tax
on his puree is avoided by the Parisian ouvrter.

At Rome the other day, in the Teatro Argentina,
at the representation of the ballet of Odatisea, a perfect
storm of hisses wailed me of the ballet-dancers—a storm
so general and so vehement as to be only intelligible on the
ground of some very strong personal and political feeling
respecting its object. To his theatrical avocations of the
evening the mime was known to unite those of a regular re-
cruiting agent for the brigand bends, and to harbour under
his roof the sanguinary accomplices of the La Was.
A custom is now becoming general in Paris for
the workman to take amp of coffee as soon as he rises, his
dljeancr at half past 11 or 12, and to dine at home with his
family after leaving work at half-past sor 6. For this pur-
pose his wife provides herself with one or more tin cases
with a tight cover, and gets their dinner hot from the
traiteur or roticseur, and brings it home at the proper time.
Vegetables and fruit are always very cheap in comparison
with London. Excellent grapes are now selling from 2d. to
4d. a pound, and apples and pearl are cheap in proportion.
At Rome, Monsignore de Mdrode has made
Biondi° hand over a per-ceotage of his profits, when ex-
hibiting at the Macao. to the " Peter's penes " fund.
