that the French possess much beauty-yet PARIS can

taste in Dress Paris equal and superior to New

in dress varies genius and invention Vary bat
French woman always makes the fashion conform
TO her Rgure complexion, or peculiar taste. Neither
ladies gentlemen here ever seen in uniform as
they are in London. There is the same agreeable
variety in manners. Ease comblnedwith graeeis the
great characteristic Of the parslans. They eat drink,
dress, talk, dance always suit themselves and if
person differs from another il never attracts any
observation No healths are drank at dinner-every
one goes ahead in his own way. ! have pad'some
little attention to all these matters both here and in
London, and shall enlarge more upon them when
return.
Paris has been in state of excitement in conse-
Qlence of terrible accident on tka st. German 8
railroad by which great number efpeople were in
jured and some killed. This is the first accident of
the kind that has taken place in France, and the no.
vety Of the thing gives depth and tone to the tragedy.
The new era will have its tragedy well the old
time. Formerly robbers and brisands destroyed the
unwary traveller-now steam does all the mischief.
This morning, took citddiae, species Of ROT
fure and drove to Notre Dame to hear High Mass
celebrated. In my next will give full description
of the grand ceremony, which was novel and inter-
esng. The cathedral was full-about three score of
idle priests assisted at the mass-the music was very
splendid there were 10 900 persons present. con-
sistng principally of women, old and young, with a
few sprinklings of young republicans in moastachcs,
ga,herea there merely TO amuse themselves. During
the ceremonial visited every portion Of the Cathe-
dral. II is much larger and far more splendid than
Westmins ter Abbey. The sun shone through thou
sand panes Of colored glass; and spread over The floor
the spectators and the columns, all the hues of the
rainbow. 1t was the f5te of the Assumption, which
also the ste de Napoleon. This latter circumstance
brought great many young Parlsans there.
There is very little news in this capital. All IA
shenabe people now out Of the city-gone to tbs
spas of Germany-up the Rhne-to s Switzerland or
on the mountains As in New York, so in Paris
August is a month of nothingness There is nothing
choice at the catss-nothng choice at the soirses-
nothing choice at the theatres. Winter and spring
are the pleasant seasons 10 oe IN rarS. "hcH get
married, shall return, and spend the first winter in
Paris. l must, however, put the Herald in new
trim in New York. and, when am suffi GENTLY pre-
pared, can spend winter in Paris with as much
advantage to the readers Of the Herald TO its editor
The Paris papers new full letters written in gay
and amusing tone from the various spas of Germany.
In this respect these fashionable places Of summer
resort resemble ours-but in natural scenery they are
far Inferior The truth is, that the United States will
in fifty years equal Europe, if not surpass it, in many
every day attributes.
