A Glance at Paris.
PAEia, April, 1862

AEls, Apfli, lou.
The bright sun and spring-like weather
render Paris very beautiful. The Champs
Eysees and Wood Of Doulogne attract
crowds Of every rank and class, from the
Emperor to the peasant | should fail
in my attempt to describe the beauties Of
the Wood of Doulgnc, forest four or
five miles in circumference, laid out and
adorned at great expense and exquisite
taste.
The First Napoleon's tastes were more
mental. lie adorned Paris with Trophies
of ictory, such as the Colum of Ven
dome, the Arch of Triumph, the Obelisk
of Luxor, &C., &c. Napoleon Ill, is
more practical, scc@ing to improve as well
as to adorn Paris. His reign will be dis
tiugoishel by reforms and progress
France, under his auspices, has been ris-
ing and improving in its Agricultural,
Manufacturing and commercial interests
and resources; while Paris is becoming
the most beautiful city in the world The
opening aud improvement of streets is
progressing upon n scale Of magnitude
perfectly bewidering. For example, the
Boulevard Scbastopol, cut through the
heart Of the city, extends from the Port
st. Denis to Rue Rivol, and is already
built up with palatial grandeur. This
broad avenue is connected with the Bou-
levard Strasbourg, equally magnificent
ending at the Strasbourg Railway Station.
On the Boulevard Italian, new Hotel,
covering mere than an acre and halt,
aud casting the Hotel Louvre into the
shade, has risen almost by magic. Per-
faps the best idea may be given of this
Hotel by saying that it IS larger than the
:. Aston, !" the St Nicholas, and the 'sAle-
tropoliton, together would be! Adjoin.
ing this Hotel, three acres Of buildings
have been demolished, preparatory to the
erection Of an Opera House.
Around the Hotel dc Village, more
than tive acres of buildings are being de-
moIiShcl, the ground on which they stood
to be thrown into Park. This will IN
