A Paris correspondent OF the London Standard

not Synonymous terms. Paris is the former as

tending the city properly he orfets his life. Under
the state Of siege the public safety is the supreme

do not by any means anticipate, We are prepared
for him. We have enough flour in stock to make
bread for the whole population OF Paris during forty
days. And after that? Why, If the enemy be out

THAT SPLENDID LINE OF PROMENADE
between the pillared Madeleine and the angle iu
