PARIs.-The Paris correspondent of the
| Boston Advertiser says: "Paris is being torn
down and rebuilt with an activity that borders
upon the marvellous. Marrow streets that
| had been for centuries damp, dark and un-
healthy, have disappeared if by enchant-
menf, and long rows of white palaces replace
| the old tumble-down, jumbled-up dwellings
| that have been demolished. Light and air
nave thus gained an access to portions of the
| city that knew them not, and great is the con-
sequent reduction in the bills of Mortality.-

cream color, it presents a beautiful appearance
and possesses singular property. 1t is, when
nrst quarried, easily cut with the knife OF
chisel, and thus the beautiful sculptures that
may be seen on the facades of ali the new
houses in Paris are chiseled without difficult

and easily worked stone as hard as granite. SO
| that being aecommodatingly soft at first it be-
comes duly hard in course of time, rendering
| the beautiful ornaments enduring
