No doubt the entire globe is undergoing general
confusion and change, and we feel it periodically in
Paris, where nature has totally overthrown its
habits, and become quite irregular There are re-
markable ups and downs Of seasons, which cannot be
accounted for, and we may think it probable that
mittances of good and bad health We have had
several days of most superb weather. and for the last
twenty-four hours we have been freezing near our
fire place. well filed with oak wood. Noting this
cold weather, the is bright over our heads; but
the wind blows stiff and chilly, which gives the
atmosphere an acute sharpness for which the only
remedy is to keep ones self well wrapped in winter
clothes. know from good authority, that the men,
bers of our medical faculty are particularly busy
with large number of patients, and that the ordi-
nary diseases of the spring season-the grippe, the
cdttorreS, &c.-have been, this year, accompanied
by a sort Of inflammation of the bowels, by which
many patients hayc been carried away and taken to
the burial ground.
This is not TO be accounted for, and the prone
made of Long Champs, which began yesterday, and
will only finish tomorrow evening. is this year as
brilliant as it has ever been under the glorious days
Of the restoration and since the revolution Of 1880,
under the reign Of Louis Philippe. The Boulcvards,
Champs Elysces, and Bots de Bouogne are covered
with elegant carriages, and those who 60 there
promenading are as numerous as the stones Of the
pavement. The tolettes Of the fashionable people
are magnificent and the luxury is extreme. My
article fashion will give full details Of these dress
ngs which will, no doubt, please the fair SEX who
are numbered among the usual readers of the New
YORK HERALD. As for the carriages and horses
their new shape-the colors of the former and the
beauty of the atter-canno be equallcd in any part
OF the Continent, even in England. Many Amer-
cans rank in this display Of elegance and at the
whose admirable trotting horses have been princ-
Pally remarked this year. Mr. Lesieur's calasch
horses and livery are also noticed among many
others. Mrs. Ridgeways was drawn by two superb
horses, of full blood, and whose carrage-of olive
colsr-was remarked by many who paraded in the
Champs Eysee.
As it may be observed, the Americans in Paris
are doing their best to make a show, and their
reputation has ouwited that of the Englishmen,
who formerly were considered as the most eccentric
people in the world. ! will give, for example,
two or three anecdotes which took place few days
ago, and have been the cause of much amusement
in our private circles.
The first reads as follows: On saturdaylast, per-
son dressed as woman, the face covered with O
thick veil, was observed walking the quay of the
Seine and crossing the river the bridge of the
Carrousel. The tall appearance Of the would-be
woman, the queer style of walking of that Andre
gyno-everything but the toilette of the person,
which the attention Of
those who were passing by. At last the police, who
everywhere in Paris, thought it necessary to in
teriere in the matters and one of the stars having
approached the tall person Of our comedy invited
her TO follow him to the corps dc gards of the TUT
leres. There orders given to unveil that faces;
and, to the great establishment Of the beholders,
large pair Of moustachos discovered to every
that the she was "he, or, in other terms, that
the woman was man-the lady gentleman. 1t
was then known that Mr.. -, Of Kentucky,
a student of medicine in Paris had made bet with
some friends that he would appear, in daytime
in the streets Of Paris, dressed in female attire. Mr.
ID. Il. won his bet; but he sent to the watch
house to explain his folly before the Commssaire
de Police. may say, that after severe admoni-
tion and remonstrancs he set free and it is to
be hoped that ''he will sin no morsn'
The second anccdote is as follows Several young
men from America, whose dissipated lives have
become quite proverbial in Paris are in the habit
of living high at the Maison Doree, Cafe Angais,
and other places of the kind. On Sunday
morning they oil met Mt the Mason Doree.
and remained there till four o'clock drinking,
| playing, and singing. One Of them proposed to
his friends to leave the place and to go to the Bots
dc Boulogne, to nhale the pure air Of the country
This motion was adopted, and they all went out in
search OF cabs, to be driven there. No vehicle

funeral; and one Of these young men, address
sing the driver, asked him If he wished to let
his carriage and take them all to the Bots
de Boulogne. The driver, instead of accepting
the proposition, became quite dignifed man. and
replied that he was joking with something that
was not to be laughed at for, if he continued TO live
such dlsspated life, he would soon go 'aone on
the hearsc. AS matter of course, the party did
not pay any attention to the remonstranccs OF tho
POOR fellow, and they proceeded further on, where
they met the wanted vehicle. On arriving Mt
Madrid they alighted from their carriage; but one
Of the party who had fallen asleep in one OF the
corners Of the caash was unable to come down--hc
was taken by an attack OF apoplcxy, and few
minutes after he was dead man.
