PARIS May 1, 1871.
Paris Of many centuries, always the gayest, often
me saddest, capital OF Europe, Is in May 1871, in
the most eventual epoch Of its history, The rich
and curious visiting this city long before 1t became
yhe most famous Of all the cities OF the world, and
In later years coming here to live among Its luxu-
res little know to-day how 1t is mutilated, how Its
fair face is wounded and bleeding the prey to civil
war and local disorders that may reign yet for
many months. AS wander from day to day along
these streets and boulevards can can well measure
THE GREAT CHANGE
that has taken place. But Two events need to be

Avenue Josephine without meeting person scarcely
In these sunny days OF spring. 1 mean the Exhibi-
tiion OF 1867 and the disastrous declaration
OF war by the Duo de Grammont In July
last. Where the worlds pageant was from
day 10 day deiing through the capital In 1867, you
have now the funeral cortege; where then the tri-
color, now the nag OF the Commune; the gay
Georgian, with her pewndering beauty, is replaced
BY the poorly clad daughter OF an ouurier; elegant
equipages are succeeded by the heavy dray horses
Of the National Guards bearing bread and forage TO
the scene OF slaughter, beyond the Notifications;
and the only Paris that you find Paris OF lifeless
mansions. deserted cafes, closed hotels and frag-
meniary baualions hurrying to outpost duty. Even
though we haye

carriages, shining lveres; no more costumes Of the
