"A. Hsad in Paris.

The ladies in Paris are "dyeing Egypt

The Sultan of all the Turkies has arriy
with his forty haram (scarem) girls, and
as il is an established fact that he is the
sick man of the East" Napoleon and
have given him quarters at the Hotel
des Inyaides. 1t was my suggestion.
The girls avail themselves Of this trip to
get out of doors and look at as good
looking young men. He is mostly head
and ANGLES, so far as have seen, and l
don't think he would amount to Nor
rissey, a Heenan, or a Sayers, if strip
ned TO the buff" He will never die of
personal beauty, and is not so likely to
get lot of wives on this account as his
brother, Brigham, of Salt Lake. They
two are the greatest women's rights fel-
lers ever saw, and they ort to form an
alliance of offense and defense on the
woman question. Their weekly washin
bills must be heavy for their households.
Napoleon and / received him on Sun
day. and we did it with ell the magnif-
cence which we could afford with no funds
coming in from Mexico, and gold at 40 !
How long he will stay with US, don't
know, but he is part Of the show we have
got to catch the pennies of the people,
and Nap and | shall keep him only so
long as he brings us in money, and helps
FIJI the French Xchekers. His coming
has been a big thing so far, for onions
and artichokes and vegetables and other
fruit went up twenty five per cent the
next morning, as though he and the girls
were going to eat US out of house and
home. 1t is the only raise he has been
able to make for some time in q port
money ary point of view. There was
crowd to see the Sultan, say half a mil.
lion souls, or million soles, reckoning
two to each person.
The Sultan don't seem to me as though
he would amount to much on footrace,
and is q practical illustration and exem-
MITIGATION of that oft-quoted phrase
during our war" mastery inactivity !"
He is going to England to get some beer
and 10 smoke the calumet of peace or
niece of calumet with the Queen. He
will eat hash (eesh) at her house
Next to the Sultan and the Grand Elk
position, the Gdrdine Mobile seems to
be an attraction. There is where men
and women dance in beautiful gardens
to the music of delightful band, to
whose strains they dance a kind of
Black Crook dance, only more so. The
women have grert difficulty in keeping
their limbs on terra tirma, the ceDtri-
fugal force seeming to predominant over
their centrinetal force, which being
freely translated, means that they have
fashion of kicking off peoples hats If
YOU stand too near them, and that is the
misfortune of some young men who fire.
duent there Il is perhaps unnecessary
to saw that although these women dance
very lively and gracefully, they are not
strictly models of virtue, or members OF
any evangelical meeting house in
GOOD standingl and although |
don't pretend TO be entirely i'm
maculate myself, / do think that it
is highly not nice for fathers to take their
virtuous daughters to such places, al
though married woman might visit
them without danger, perhaps, and
certainly without remark, in this city.
The most interested spectators every
nightto these highly fanciful and volup-
tuous exhibitions Of human animation
exalted appear to be old gray headed sin
.ners. who ought to have arrived at years
of discretion. Although il may be well
enough for those who come to Paris for
onct to see Paris for onct, It is well
enough to keep young girls away from
some sights in Paris
Commissioners to the Paris Exposi-
tion" are thick-in fact, most every
American you meet is q commissioners
from somewhere Poor fellows, they ere
about as much account here as the call
boy in Q theater or Fenian among the
Italian Counts of the Garibaldisn prov
inces Tell cabman that you are a
commissioner, and ten to one he would
give you a look, as much as to say, pay
for your ride in advance"
The Americans win celebrate the
Fourth of July by dinner at the Grand
Hotel, and there will be two or three
balls, fetes, etc, etc.
