after so long confinement to ship fare, though
that was the very best we had good steward,
and abundant supplies. Our repast over, we rode
about ten miles into the country. Would that
mortal pen might describe the intense Joy that
filled our hearts as we snuffed the fresh country
air. and beheld once more the beauties of field and
| forest. So great was my enthusiasm that looked
something sacrcdly beautiful. The following day
we took the cars for Paris, bidding farewell to
Havre, with its dirty Streets dreary walls, and half
French-half Dutch inhabitants. Though dreary,
it is seemingly an active place of business the
women, however do all the work They look very
drol with their white caps hurrying in every d.
rection, as though they had left their beds upon
short notice.
As we took the omnibus for the cars, my atten-
ton was arrested by pleading voice. Turning
saw green gawky Englishman. He seemed in
great tribuation and earnestly seeking advice from
fellow passenger, gasping for breath, as the
vehicle was all ready to start. 1t seems the day
previous he had bought pair of shoes and LETT his
old boots to be sent to him. He had been this
morning to recover them, the shop was closed and
he did not know the mans name; now would the
gentleman be kind enough to tell him what he
should do, for he could not lose those boots! Oh
no! he would not enjoy his travels without them
The question to stay, or not to stay and regain
those precious boots; and he finally concluded to
remain, must he pay the omnibus man for ride
not taken? Yes, dix sous. So with several twists
and turns he at last paid out the enormous sum of
dix sous; and thus ended this ridiculous scene :;
though stopping at one of tt stations, saw the
identical unfortunate Englishman-but whether
with OR without boots, cannot say. Had pleas
ant ride to Paris The cars are comfortable, more
retired than ours, and speed about twenty-five
miles an hour. Stopped at Rouen-a thriving
manufacturing city; found the country beautiful
and well cultivated and reached Paris in the after
noon. I like the arrangements of things about the
depot, being large and commodious. The baggage
is all collected in large room, assorted as well
as possible; the doors then thrown open, and
every zone claims their own, thus preventing
mistakes and much confusion.
We are at present located as comfortably as
possible at the Hotel de Byron; and will now bid
you adieu for few days, when l shall write you
my impressions of Paris. Yours truly,

Ma Convention of lost baggage agents has
been held in New York, nearly all the principal
railroads of the country being represented. These
agents are persons employed by railroad CON-
panies to trace up lost or stolen baggage. These
conventions are to compare memoranda, each
each agent bringing q list of all unclaimed bag
gage and freight in the hands of his employers,
and also a list of claims and applications for
lost baggage, together with descriptions of the
property. These conventions have been found
of great value, seldom failing to result in find
ing forty or fifty pieces Of valuable property.
They also save the railroad companies from ma
ny fraudulent claims, by parties pretending to
have lest valuable baggage. Times
