The German Entry Into Paris.
PARIS, March 1.-(Special to N. Y. Herald y
On the Boulevard Honore at o'clock this
morning, when it was dark and cold, three
members of the National Guard and few
women carrying bread were the only persons
visible. l turned the corner into the Rue
Royale and saw Gordon of sentries stretching
across the street and line of artillery caissons
interlecked. No carriage was allowed to pass
the approaches to the Elysees. The Pont de la
Concorde, quay, and the Rue Rivoli were all
barred in the same manner.
No Spectators Were Visible.
There were not more than ten people on the
Champs Elysees; not sign of the coming event
was visible; all was so silent that the dullness

A small party dashed to the Arc de Triomphe
and under it they went without drawing bride,
over heaps of stones and sand which had been
left, possibly to prevent their passage.
They reined up sharp at the top of the
Champs EIysees,
with tirailleurs in the front. As turned toward
the Arc de Triomphe, saw another officer, with
trumpeter at his side, galloping up the avenue,
and behind them, at little distance, dozen or

was seen approaching, but at such a distance
that the little squad of cavalry was for a mo-
