begsn to talk about paintings, and narrowly es-
capped politics. But as shall have to put little OF
everythiD in this lie ter may say, in passing about
the mistakes which our people labor under III rela-
ton to the government Of this country, hesitate
not to sav that New YORK would be much better off
under despOtsn than it ia AT present. The people
of Paris are taxed heavily. but they get something
for their money. The streets KEEP entirely free
from oirt. You may walk in the carriage way of
any Of them in satin slippers without soiling them

OF what really clean streets are. Boston IL clean
CITY, but not near 80 nice as Paris Paris streets

is admirable; in fact, the city is policed to death.

see me eat my breakfast. There can be no
rows, fights or knockdowns here. In fact,
there is the most entire personal security,
and the contrast with New York Is very distressing
TO American pride. In Paris the publ, is protected
everywhere rhe police are always within call, and
the men are exceedingly polite. In fact, the ma
tons strong point is politeness. l think that
Frenchman is occupied half the time in saying.
"Fhank YOU" and "PardOn, monsieur" Tue public
carriages under the stri,test rule. Less than
thirty cents is the regular fare within the city and
the dearest carriage is only forty cents al hour.
The coachman muss give you printed card with
his nun Der and price upon it, and you reckon the
fare for yogrself. If he once attempts to swinde
any one, his license is taken away. and he can ne
yer drive a coach again in Paris. | 4llude to these
things because good city government in New York
everything in Paris has increased. but one dollar
here in most instances, will buy as much as two in
New York.
alluded above to St Cloud, which is just now
religion 60 into the country on Sunday when she
weather is pleasant. The magnificent park of
st. Cloud is always open to the. public,
and the drive from Paris is about Is minutes by
railway. In the station there is of course q rush,
but no crowding, as with First class passengers
are placed in their carrisges-never more than the
carnage will seat comtorabythen the second class
and the third-each class admitted to the station by
separate doors. Arrived at st. Cloud we find seve-
raj thousand people. ali well dressed and police.
The ladies' am sorry to say it for their sakes and
glad for ours-ae not 80 pretty as we have them at
home nor are they 30 we'll dressed as in New York.
The present fashions here are detestable. The Pa
risian women generally have compilations varying
in color from light drab to dark brown; and con-
trasted with the Gear red and white of our Yankee
girls it is much in our favor. The women OF the
lower orders here look much better than the ga ne
class with u.s. their dress being scrupulously neat
Women find employment here in many places closed
to them in America. They keep the accounts at all
the cafes and treated with marked pollteness by
all the habnuSs they are ushers in the theatres, and
clerks in all the shops Certainly IL is more pleasant
to be served by passaby pretty nicely dressed girl
whose collar and cuffs as pure as your cores
pondent's intentions are honorable, than by q pert
shopman, who spends half his time in picking his
teeth and the other half in coaxing consumptive
moustache.
have noticed some Of the good things in Paris,
but do not wish TO convey the impression that 1t
has not its bad side. have said that 1t was cheaper
than New York; but then one must have his eyes
on ali hands for little things. II you are known to
be an American you are supposed to be very rich.
You cannot have your hair brushed without being
bored to buy all sorts Of perfumes; the waiter who
brings you breakfast almost insists that you shall
purchase bad segars and counterfeit Farina from
him. and there hundreds OF little expenses forced
upon q stranger which in the aggregate make
pretty good Still, with all this do not think
Paris so expensive TO stranger as New York, al
though the shops here on the bouIecdrfs sell articles
at about the same prices that aie demanded In
Broadway.
We have now here two officen-Deputy Marhals
De Angels and DE Vos-from New York. who
brought out Carpenter and Grelet, charged with
defrauding the Northern Railway Company. Car
pentier made no defence here. and Grelet
has not yet been examined. The New York
officers remain here at the request Of the
Rothschds, until the case Of Parrot shall
have been decided Grelet has written a letter
TO Deputy Marshal DeVoe, thanking that officer for
kindness extended to him on board the ship. Grelet
vas delivered by DeNoe to the Project of Police at
Paris on the same day that the Arago arrived at
Havre. No doubt the punishment Of these men viii
be severe as the prosecution has been sharp. The
Rothschids desire to give strong example to their
other employees and justify themselves TO the share
holders IL Is rather expensive business, however.
must postpone TIL another day description of
the places Of amusement in Paris, and close this
with word about the artists and the managers, Tor
which latter article the present Is rather strong
