Minister Washburne,s experience IN
Paris has been s most interesting and
curious one. When we consider all the
circumstances, It is safe to say he has
been the most fortunate and popular
mar in the besieged Capital. He had
the good fortune to occupy a position
which gave him great favor with both
the French and Germans. While the
poor, half-frightened, misled people Of
Paris gathered about the American
Legation and cheered for the French
Republic and the Republic of the
United States, Bismarck, on the other
hand, was only too willing and glad to
show favors to the American Minister.
For a long time he was the only man
In Paris able to hold communication
with tho outside world. The arrival
Of the American Minister'S mail bags
was an event in Paris which agitated
the whole city. Nocpeople were ever
before so anxious to get the news Of the
outside world. Shut up by the guns Of
the enemy, their curiosity became ex-
cited toa painful degree, and, although
they were suffering for food and fuel,
their desire to get the news wa:
stronger than the cravings Of appetite,
and they actually begged Mr.. Wash
burne to break the painful silence. A

papers, "to reflect that we gave Lafa

Of the London Times" "Mr. Wash
burne smiled today" said the Paris
crowd. "This must be good news fol

Prince Charlie Frederick, and Is within

In this way the news-starved people o
Paris tried to penetrate the gloom by
which they were surrounded, but all il
vain. The American Minister, while
no knew the exact situation, was a

Sphinx" who sent him to Paris.

The Contingent Expense Fund OF
the United States House of Represent
atives for 1870 exhibits some curious
items. Thus the average funeral ex-
penses of a deceased member Of Con-
Sress, rs paid by the Government,
amount to $780,, not including the
cost of a monument In the Congres-
sional Cemetery. The arrest In Rich

propriated to pay 81 q day for the sup
port of the prisoner. The cost Of
bringing a witness from New York to
Washington was 1891, and the aggre-
gate sum of $54,5OO was paid to UNI

House OF Representatives. The coun-
sci who defended General Benjamin
F. Butler OH the question Of privilege
in q suit brought against him in Balti-
more, received $4,000. The Sub-Com-
mittee on Elections, who were en-
gagged for three months in New Or
leans investigating election frauds,
charged for its members and the mes
scnsers So n day for board. The trans
portation Of official documents to and
from the House of Representatives
costs 81, 500-the rate charged being 81
per load. The other items include
numberless knives, brushes, combs,
towels, cakes of soap, boxes of
matches, Lemons, sugar, and various
other articles for the comfort and con-
yenience Of the members.

How rs PARIS TO BE REvICTUAIEp7
Now that the siege of Paris is over,
and the city is we'll nigh exhausted Of
provisions and fuel, the enormous task
of revictualing and supplying the city
has TO be taken In hand. Movements
are on foot to that end in London and
elsewhere, and official negotiations are
going OF rs to the ean and routes OF
transportation. Even the neccssaries
of. life for such n population will re-
quire the daily transportation of about
four million of pounds Of supplies
two thousand tons-or fromtHo to
threo hundred large n loads! This,
too, every day. It is a herculean task
to contemplate such q mss of the nee
essaries Of life-to find q steamer or
steamers regularly every day to carry
them, and then the requisite amount Of
rolling stock for the overland trans.
portation in the present dilapidated
condition Of tho French railway sys-
tenn. No wonder the German author
