TIE FRENCH ELECTION result Of
the French election on Sunday, 80 far
reported, illustrates what may be re-
garded as striking feature i'll the in
huences which control the destines of the
opposition, thu estimated vote ou the
plebiscitun, in the whole country is but
1000. 900 against and 7,126,0OO in it's
favor. Heretofore it had been often
said-the expression had almost passed
into proverb-Paris is France. A re-
volution in the streets of the capital has
repeatedly determined and fixed for II
period OF years the political status of the
empire. A popular outbreak, sometimes 8

tai, has more than once sufficed for the
overthrow of an administration or a
aynasty. Great changes have thus been
effected-from monarchy to q repnb-
lie, and from republic to an empire

provinces being even aware of what was

tions being effected ut the mere caprice
oil tho ParIslan populuce, without my
previous intelligence or cooperation on
the part of the rural districts, hns been
greatly diminished. Still, within the
memory of the present generation, the
revolution of 1847 aud the coup d'etat of
1852 were to n great extent accomplished
without concert of action ontside of
Paris, though confirmed afterwards by
large votes IN the interior. In this sense,
Puris is no longer France. The ballot
box has placed the control of affairs
where it properly belongs, with the peo-
pie at large. Puris indicates it's personal
dissatisfaction with the Emperor by
voting against the plebiscite. The pro-

present order OF things over the insane
projects of the red republicans and the
experimental crndities of the pnrliamen-

''PARIs BY SUNLIGHT AND GAs-L1aHr. I"
A work descriptive of the Mysteries and
Miseries. the Virtues, Vices, Spendors,
and Crimes of the City of Paris. By
James D. McCabe, Jr. National Pub
fishing Company, Atlanta, Georgia.
We know Of no book that we have
read with more pleasure aud profit to
ourselves than this. It abounds in
sparkling descriptions Of the gny metro
polls by night and day, and the pictures
of celebrities in that wicked but fuscinut-
ing city are perfect. We wander amidst
the time-hallowed monuments of the
past. are dazzled by TIE magnificence Of
the present, dine in the glittering cafes
of the Palais Royal, stroll with the merry
crowds along the boulevar.ls, and look
on the Jnrdin Mabille, where the origi-
nal an-can is nightly dunced to the
most voluptuous of strains. Our author
seems to have the nice discrimination Of
an artist, and paints only those pictures
for his readers which will he gladly
seized upon and appreciated. There is,
however, no point of any interest that
he slights, and one may read this book
and easily imagine himself beholding
the very things he reads Of It is a
forcible illustration of the old adage,
'truth is stranger than felton," for the
author has given us pictures which,
though true to the life, are so strange
and seemingly full If romance, that one
can hardly believe them real. But the
book is far from being an exaggerution.
Our readers will recognize its fuirncss ut
once by the moderation Of its statements,
and the absence of superlatives from it's
pages; and all who persue it will agree
with us that no more remarkable and
deeply interesting book has been offered
to the public for many years. How Can
it be otherwise, when it is a faithful pic
tnre of the most fascinating city in the
world2 1t is very absorbing, and we are
sure no one who takes it up will pnt IT
down unread. It is illustrated with 15O
fine engravings, hy the best artists Of
France-Dore, De Bar. Therond and
others-and the letter press is perfect.
The volume is sold only by subscription.

AFRAID It Is easy TO divine what these ends

ginning OF the war Count Bismarck played

publication Of the Draft Treaty 1t was
certain that this unexpected disclosure
would excite a good deal Of feeling against
France (which would be recprocated), and

as closely as they otherwise might, any
complaints of uufarness which Prussia
might choose to bring against them.
