Those who look at an old map Of Paris, dated
I776-a copy Of which Is now hanging in the room
In which the correspondent Of the HERALD Is now
writing these lines-will observe that the city
practically ends with what Is the Madeleine. La
Yillette and Belleville, two unsavory names in
modern Partisan history, are modest little villages
apart, with crossroads, plainly marked, and a
church, surmouAted by o cross, sgnifytng that
God was there and then worshipped. There is q
hill called Chevlor and another called Passy. and
third, partly hill and partly town, called Mont.
martre. Paris has absorbed them oil since that
year Of memory 177a and likewise two other vii.
lagos. called MoneeauX and Les Terres Near
these two latter villages is the scene Of Baron
Haussmann's greatest triumphs New Paris
gaudy, open, very cold and bleak these Wintry
days, with snow ialling-cOvers the rural spaces.
Monceaux is. perhaps the prettiest and tlniest
park in France-paradise of nursery maids In the
warm Summer weather. The huge Arch Of Tri'
umph looms up tn the star Of avenues,
looking with CHASTITY irony, one would think on
the ruins Of the Tuileries nom one side and down
the pretentious Avenue Of the Grand Army on the
other. In this section there Ia a narrow stree;
which has had It's own troubles. One time II was
known as Rue Bilault Then, when Gambetta came
and took to changing names to suit the vanity OF
his followers, 1t was called Rue Jules Favre. But
eloquent Jules came to grief-serious grief and
many tears-as all the world knows, and the street
came to be known a. Rue de r0ratoire du Route,
which means that In the last century there was
famous religious house or 0ratory called lie Roule
House, priests and all have vanished, and vain
people breathe the air in the open spaces they left
behind them, and called Elysan Fields. This street
is their only souvenir, and here lives Francois
Guizot, in some respects the most famous man In
France.
THE HOME OF GUIZOT.
Your correspondent found himself here by ap-
pointment-M Guizot having expressed his will.
ngness to converse with him upon affairs in
France. 1t was commOdiOus apartment, fur
nished in q comfortable English manner, . pro-
fusion OF carpets-a thing not common to French
houses. There was NO luxury; only o few pictures
OF serious cast. There was heavy red velvet fur
niture and o portrait of Guizot himself-taken one
would say, nifty years age It Is young and fresh.
The books scattered on the table were mainly
Igious, serious and historical and one would be
much surprised to see novel here Is to see An
acrobat dancing tight rope in Notre Dame. There
is sentiment OF honesty, purity almost austerity
~
Guizot lives as kind Of political shrine. All men
seek hinl-the young to partake Of his experience,
the old to share his memorial Now and then one
meets republican, but the old man does not court
the fiery leaders OF young France. / doubt whether
he knows republican under fifty. Az your cor
respondent was ushered in two gentlemen passed
out. One was Due de Brogie, the other the Due
d'Audrlnet -Pasquer.

AS your correspondent entered the inner room
the venerable statesman gave him warm well
come and beckoned TO Q chair In the body Guizot
Is small, fra, thin to the eye even thinner from
his habit OF wearing long brown frock coat. In
his coat lapel was the red ribbon Of the Legion OF
Honor. His hair was silvered; the face full OF life
and brightness; dark-gray eyes, that looked earn
estly at you from under his black velvet skull cap
A dry man, Of earnest mnd-keen rather than
wide--without the slightest trace OF humOr who
awes his auditors and compels the decorum and re-
sDect that we pay to woman. In his conversation
nothing was more marked than his dislike 70 re-
publicans and Gil republican forms Of government
Guizot spends most Of bis time at his little cha
teau in Normandy. He has . moderate income
from his books mainly. He was born October T.
1851, and Is now, therefore, in the eighty sixth
year OF his age.
GrIzor AND THB DISCOVERY OF LIVINGSTONE.
, Your correspondent explained TO NJ. Gulzot that
he called upon him, not from motives Of idle curl
osity, but In obedience to the commands Of the
editor OF the HERALD who was now giving to the
American people the views OF the leading men Of
France on the present situation OF AFFAIRS In
country with 80 many diversified interests %
France there was no way Of reaching On intelL
gent appreciation Of It's wants and purposes IN
less py seeking the counsel Of men who, like him
sen, had nlled 30 large share Of its history.
The venerable statesman replied that he quite
