The animation has been very great in Paris during
the last fortnight; sunshine Of the month Of May
has appeared and have been favored with the most
beautiful weather The iJouIies de Mars as termed In
the French language have not yet their
ance and the only thing by which could remember
that we still in the winter time, Is a return to
cold, which is not much to be felt. These first
spls ndors Of the spring have given to Paris
The fantastcal Bagdad Of the poets-the wonders Of
the oriental citieefade away in presence of the en-
chantmchts Of the first city Of Ia belle France Nobody
could suppose that In a precariou US political
situation. The Boulevards crowded as ever
the Champs klysees covered with splendid car
ragcs and If the Paubourg St. Germain has partially
abn ndoned Paris, We have still the Faubourg St
Honorc, and la Chasseo dAutin, which contain the
most beautiful women Of France. Thus tous NEST pas
perdV.
For person who, like me, does not belong to any
party but looks with the indifference Of an ider to
the struggle Of our epoch-when I reflect upon the
magnfcencc Of hsris. the style and taste OF ts in
habitants ask myself How 1t possible that party
who think that they able to renovate and render
better the present generation wish to annihate tho
work Of fifteen centuries and ruin our lovely coun
try, cannot reflect without fear upon this phantom
called socialism word which Is nothing bat the cloak
Of very doubtful principles-those Of anarchy aud
destruction.
