PARIS, July IL, 1873.
Last night we had the festivity OF illuminated
Paris. No other city is 80 well constructed as
Paris for the effects of illumination on Q grand
scale. Its open places, its magnificent avenues,
its many vast public edinces towering above even
the great houses near them, and even it's high
places like the Barriere de pEtotle, the Trocadero
and Montmartre, all favor this systematic exposi-
ton of festal flame. The towers OF Notre Dame, the
column on the Place de Ia Bastile, the domes Of
the Pantheon and the Invalides, the beautiful
dome Of La Trinite. the new opera, the
Buttes ct Montmartre and tho Arc Do

heroes they had never liked the company, and
usually went away on the first opportunity. Yet
the ground is sacred In q certain sense to one

wretchedness and political crime.

Princess Of Wales and the beauties Of oueen Vic,

parison between the English and French ladies'
which Ia not favorable to the latter. The rest OF
the performance consisted OF ballet dancing and

he has shown by the delight he has evnced IN the
three performances which specially commend
themselves to the ignorant and uncult,vatcd
mind-viz., ballet dancing, the circus ana wax
works. He never took his lorgnon from his
his eyes, and smiled in Q very grim and
ferocious STYLE He did not applaud. but
Is understood to have informed the director OF the
theatre that at other capital had he seen sucfi
good dancing. He also inquired the names OF some
Of the ballet women Who struck his fancy-nrst of
Marshal MacMahon and then Of N. Buret; but IL ia
needless to say these gentlemen were unable to
satisfy his curiosity. BY the way In nv last letter

under the name Of the persian Hymn.n Another
version of this air was played ct the opera on
Saturday night, and seemed to be the yerstable
one, for at It's commencement the Shah romeo
himself and pricked up his ears. After listening
few moments he said to Marshal MacMahon.
