 BUsTSEss N PARIs.-Business in Paris IS rapidly regaining its old dimensions. A recent letter says that the dressmakers, notwithstanding the help they receive from the use of the sewing machine, find it im- possible to keep up with their orders, and seamstresses now earn a franc day more than they did three years ago. The larg- est orders come from St. Petersburg. Odessa, New York and San Francisco. Other branches of trade have received a similar stimulus, especially all trade in fancy articles. One business house re- gently sold in one day S115, 900 worth of goods. Unfortunately the liabilities of the city government are great, and it has been decided to stop some of the public works, which will, of course, increase the supply of labor. Food, however, is cheap. The harvest in France this year has been an excellent one, and it is hardly likely that the beautiful city will be troubled by the Commune during the present winter, unless the people are influenced by some other argument than one derived from hunger.
 The only dark spot on this picture of prosperity appears to be the rents, which are still kept mp at the high figures which ruled during the siege. This applies chiefly to the better class of hovses, where excessively high prices and no tenants are the rule. The landlords are a wealthy class, and therefore can afford the luxury of allowing their houses to stand empty. Probably like old Silky, in the play, their ''consciences" will not allow them to take a reasonable rent New York has had some experience with the avaricious land lord, though Americans, unlike the French, generally pay whatever price is asked.
