A HIBERNIAN PARIS CORRESPONDENT.

The Dublin Nation of Saturday last apologizes for the
non-arrival of the letter of its agent in Paris ; and adds—
" From our next number his letters will appear without
Interruption, giving a graphic description of the republic
from an Irish point of view." The italics are our con-
temporary's own. We are a little at a loss to know in
what quarter of Paris " our agent " will find an " Irish
point of view " to sketch from, or whether he has solved
the difficulty by taking a shovel full of the Hill of Howth,
or a chip off the blarney stone, in his carpet bag. A drop
of Potteen might possibly enable him to see things from
an Irish point of view ; but there is the risk to encounter
of his seeing double, and it would be wrong besides to im-
peach even in thought "our agent's " teetotalism. The
safest conclusion to draw is, that the graphic picture pro-
mised will be drawn from the soil of Ireland itself—pos-
sibly from the back office of the Dublin Nation—from
which Parisian sketches may be taken quite as like the
original as they are required to be, and as genuine as those
generally furnished now-a-days by the class of scribblers
who gull the natives under the signatures of " our Paris,"
" our London," or " our own " correspondents.
