The Evening" Examinations,
Which We're the great feature OF the day, We cannot
pass by. Language sometimes fails to express ali
that the eyes can see which il grand or beautiful.
There are ideas which can D. put into the mind

The Nominations which were used ia tho Tuilcrie-
garden ola the occasion of the grand night-iete given
by their MajesticS at the Palace ia honor of the
Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia we're
uscl ON this occasion, not only at the 1u,leries, bat
similar Nominations were pat up in some Of the open
squares and parks, and through many Of the prin-
cipal streets. The Place lie Ia Concorie, and the
long Avenue Of the Champs-Elysees, reaching To the
grand Arc dc Triomphe presented IA most magnificent
sight. This avenue MAS wrelthei with fcs,oons Of
white and rri circular globes, the wreaths extended
from lamp post 10 lamp post, and wound about
among the trees in the Park on each side OF the
Avenue. The gas was turned On and lit as soon as
il was dark. Various curious devices, and notices
formed of gas jets We're put up in many places, any
one of which would have called forth shouts of almi-
ration il not overlooked in the great brilliancy around.
The beautiful fountains, Illuminated with ten thou
sand brilliant gas jets made IA dazzling scene. One
spot ON earth, and that on the banks of the Seine,
seemed To rival the moon which looked down upon
the scene. At several places in the city preparations
hal been made for a display OF fire works. The Ex-
hibition. perhaps, took place at the Arc de Triomphe,
at the head of the Avenue Champs Elysees.
No vehicles or carriages of any description were
allowed to be ON the streets in the evening, the whole
width of the street beng given up to pedestrians.
The entire length of the wide Avenue Champs Elysees,
"A distance of two miles, was packed with human
beings. The fire works were magnificent in the
extreme For the space of half an hour, the heavens
were lit up with changing colored Bengal lights,
hundreds of fusceS, bursting in innumerahle colors,
fountains Of fire, flights of rockets followed with stars
and showers of gold, e~ruptions of Roman candles of
various tints, and showers of fire finishing with
flights Of tri-cclored bombs. The closing piece, the
bouquet, was let OF from the top of the Arch, and
consisted of 3 1900 fusees of all calibres and every
color, and produced II splendid spectacle. The outlay
this year for fire works, it was : id, was less than ON
preceding occasions, in consequence of the excessive
expenses OccasiOnei by the Exposition. Europa.
