zee without prejudice. hhould speak to you
to-day but ol the Par1sian riots, 80 cou-
plttelT DO they noT euGfuss ParlA. T3ey are
the 1rst during the reign OF Napoleon the Third.
They follow the most hostile elections which rhts
rule1has undergone. They took place In the very
centre Of rnrds, In tho portion inhabited BY The
wealthtes. people, on the interior boaIeyards
which are to Paris what broadway Is to New
York. Consequently tbey senslbly tBicr1ere With
OH Partisan habits trouble the repose Of the ctr,
hinder bustneas and make 6traugers 1y. It
does not require 80 much to absorb almost c1clu-
Eively the attention Of Paris md all Ff1nce.
Then, too, Rntlay riots haye occurrcs, ut Dlcppe
Bordeaux, Nice, Nantes and ST. Etlenne Ar
without exception, hayc common character.
There are shouts tn favor OF such and suca

cause they have no root IN the country, wilc.
wants no street dlsordern without chiefs, a..
even without IN oblcct, for they do not cyen ar-
rub for the republic.
The government, In putting down these troua.ez
at Paris md elsewhere, was generally rater1a!
enough, not 1ery adrot NJ the beginning but more
ski!irl at the end Nowhere up to this time, al
though tn many places the three LUMINOUS re-

Day betore yesterday evening, on the Parislan
houlevards, they nrrested fve hundred at one

open carriage, and without IN .escort, went over
almost all parts o! PaIta where there had been dis

points On the way; but As these ovAtlous are gen

One great reculiar1ty Of this street boytsh riot
tpg Is the breaking Of the stands where papers urt
sold. 1t sccmA that these inouensiye shops In the
open atr have attracted tho peculiar nLecr OF the
rioters. Its judged that tnei broke enough here 10
LOOT up twenty thousand francs, which, with few
tens Of thousands OF francs for the remainder,
will hardly catIy the cost Of the riot up 70 one
hundred thousand lnncs- With the exception Of

THEIR cACsEl
AZ 10 the Causes Of these disorders, each one
has his own story, according to the turn Of his
mind and what he has heard. Some Bay-and be-
Heye they a1g ri9ht-that 1t wau simply the fulnea
OF the elections, the Last coutEe Of the electoral
banquet, the u1cerraln hIawllng Of dtnnkard
altcE his wine, Others assert that 1t is the work
Of the police, thanking SO because these disturb
ances help only the government and remembering
the law Maxim, Itteft, utprodest-Ie who vii!

blcs the police acting under Imperial orders, a.
lowed things to take thels cou1se, and coquetted
With them as women do, to see how far tho riot

Pa1isians fer their government, and-who knows

Il, before the end Of next week, there remains
even a trace OF the reyelry OF these political
