ATLANTIC rkLIesAPs o TRIBUNE
PARIS, April 13-La Libsrt6 this morning has an
other of series of editorial articles calculated TO
allay the general discomfort and uneasiness which
have been inspired by the recent warlike prepara-
tons of the French Government. To give some idea
of the depth of the popular feeling, the writer says
that the United States Legation at Paris is contin-
ually overrun with Frenchmen, who are anxious to
escape the military service, to which they are now
liable under the provisions of the new army bill
Knowing nothing of the American laws OF naturalI-
zaton, and having only the lately concluded Prusso-
American treaty in their minds, they are literally be-
seGng the United States representative for natural
zaton papers OF course the applicants in all cases
have been refused lacking the five years actual resi-
dence in America, as required by law.
THE PARIS RACES.
The Paris races began at Long Champs this after
noon, and were very fully attended The Guiche
prize was won by Pompier, owned by the Marquis de
Ia Grange. Mr. Fould's Petit Caporal was the win
ner Of the Lutece prize. The Marquis de la Oranges
