PARIS DURING THE WAR.
Clarence Cook, in letter to the
New York Tribune, says OF the bearing
of the Parisians ~ .a1 Mt ,.3T5N
Never have Iseen more courage, more
Devotion, mote pnre patriotism. There
Is something very elevating in this devo.
ton OF the whole population to Their oonu
Try. If this people had been well governed
If heyehad been. educated politically, it,
they had leaders nowlether in arms or
politics, they wonld make defeat i'm,
possible. don't krow how much
endurance they have, but now thew
stick at nothing. They are not
natnrally-a generous people they love
money, and part with it with difficulty;
ont now money is poured out like water.
And they dcn't spare their bodice either
nor seek TO shy the perls Of service.

THE AMAzoNs OF THE sEiNE.. b S1f
The women Of France bid fair to out
strip their American sisters in the matter
Of woman's rights. Our Ois-Atlan,ic
revolutonists have never claimed that
women had a. right to fght, and in fact.
were rather opposed to everything Of a
warike nature. But the far daughters
OF sunny France are made Of sterher
stuf. So intens Sc is their patriotic ardor
that they are seriously considering the
expedency Of forming regiment of
women to march against the Pruss,ans.
They have even settled the little details
