PRICES IN PARIs.-The Paris correspondent
of the Tribune gives list of prices in that city
which is not very fattering to those who think
of visiting the great Exposition. He says:
The mutton outlet ate at breakfast this
morning, workingman's mouthful cost eight
sous in market Eggs that are, alas! not what
Cesar would have his wife eat cost three sous
piece But the price of bread, the main staff
of the working Frenchman's life, is the main
grievance. A loaf OF six sous is scant daily
provision for hearty man who accompanies it
on its downward road with abundant meat and
vegetables. What is it for those, and for the
wife and children at home, who have to leave
out the meat and vegetables? Consequent dis
content, looking to popular fierce outbreak, as
mob or revolution, is not menacing. But the
condition of the working classes under the in
Fiction of such prices is most serious, and the
subject of serious consideration. The question
is seriously debated whether Government
should not intervene, as it did in 1859 and 1854,
and order bread down to price less than it's
real valne, making up the loss to the bakery by
a special financial arrangement. There is
strong and wise aversion to such a measure;
but with the oppressive city customs tax on ali
articles of food brought into Paris, to the abo-
ton of which the Imperial governing author-
ties OF Paris are still more averse a recurrence
to that bad palliative measure may be neces-

Years ago, by reason OF its limitation and up to
the present time there has been nothing done
toward making new one, although we enjoy
the anomalous position OF having a legation

United States Minister as the Oldest foreign
