PARIs, August 9th, 1888.
If were TO write as they GO here, would say,
aParis, Asut," but find grea, difficulty in speak.
ING Freach, or understanding il when It is spoken
although read all the morning papers with great
govt One of the most remarkable of these newspa-
pers is the CAaripari perfect bijon of journal,
full Of wit, decacy and sarcasm of the choicest kind
Ii reminds me of home. 1t up and satrlses every
thing gauche, from the king TO the beggar from LOUIS
Philippe 10 the cocher. Thelight airy, satrca press
of Paris is altogether different from that of London
When the English newspaper wits attempt some
thing choce they are coarse low, and vulgar COM
pared 10 those of Paris The heavy, vulgar wit of
Swift and JohnseR Is the model OF the English-the
light and cutting of Moiere, that OF the Panslans.
Every morning 90 10 Gagnan's Reading Rooms
Rue Vvienne to read the Pans papers. He keeps
one of the choicest rooms OF the kind in Europe. 1t
IS freonented by all the Americans, all the English,
and many of the French-:or the French are rapidly
becoming English and the English French Attach.
ed TO the Reading Room is pleasant garden, where
vsters sit under the shade of fine trees reading the
journals of all countries, from ST. Petersburgh to
New Orleans. Among some of the journals sought
after in his rooms find the Herald is Of peculiar
attraction. This have learned from various quar-
ters But if that paper has been popular IN past
times, what will il be in fstsre? GaIignani is an
Italian, with the temperature Of Finlander. Hel
pleasant and gentiemanly, but as cool as a cucum.
Der.
have been very busy trying 10 get correspond
ent here to write for the Herald when return 10 New
York. As yet, there has not been in Paris who
understood the subsc,. Mr.. Walsh, formerly OF
Philadelphia has been, and s believe, the cores
pendent Of the " American y but he is dull, tire
some and old fashioned writer, totally unequal to
the task | would not have such man TO write for
the Herald for premium. During his residence in
PARIS, he never goes out, and only reails his news
at second hand. He is out oftown at present-gone
/ believe to visit some of the Spas in the south OF
France, bat will return in few months. He has
fine family of very beautiful and accomplished daugh-
tiers. These young ladies' have the entree to society
In Paris and il is from their chit chat and converse
ton en- fanlile, that Mr.. Walsh is enabled TO write
such dali letters he has done for Charles King Of
the American" have had interviews with several
English correspondents TO the London press but
these men very deficient in talent capacity, and,
above all in tact to select topics OF interest dined
the other day with the celebrated 20. P. q /" Here
