: London and Paris.

The following sketch Of the tho great cities
OF Europe is taken from the Paris correspond

1t is useless for Q tourist to attempt to de-
scribe either Of those great cities Of Europe,
for an adequate description would fn volumes.
There are, however, beyond the mere objects
cites that an American especially notices. The
most obvious is the excellent system Of street.
psying far superior to our rough cobble-
stones, for which both London and Paris
are famous. The cartways are smooth and
hard, and never get into ruts,. and they
are kept remarkably clean. It is pleasant
either to walk or ride upon them, and the

pavements appear to greater advantage in
Paris than London, as the French capital has
much. wider and straighter streets. In Paris,
too, the sidewalks OF the principal avenues are
generally wider than in Philadelphia, whilst IN
London they are mostly narrower. Both cities
are crowded, vast multitudes hurrying to and
ho; but whilst London people have an all OF
being constantly bent on business errands. the
Parisians only seem to be out on pleasure ex-

London is dingy and suoky-the buildings

the enormous value Of land, by the great effort
