upon ascending the next day, he dropped seven
more ssnd-bags through the hot house roof, 1
was equally calm. But did feel a littla hnr7
that upon bis third ascension he saould throx

ABsISTHE DRIEKING IN PARIs.-A Paris
correspondent says" The other day I saw a
SAD sight on the Champs Elysees, and which.
with all my experiences OF Partisan life, never
saw in this city before. 1t was party OF three
persons, two men and a woman, all welI-nay,
even Observation-Disclosures, and all three in a
reelipg, beastly state of intOxicatiOn. The men
went staggering along, disputing and gesticu-
lating alter the manner of drinking men gen.
orally, now and then stopping to hail the pass
ing Onoccupied carriages, not one of which
would consent to stop for them, white the woman
reeled along in company, sometimes clutching
wildly st the arm of one Of her companions,
ana other times stopping 70 address them in
words of tpsv remoBstrsnce. She was hand
somely dressed in q costume of black silk and
cashmere, trimmed with Jet; while her COM
panions wore high hats, broadcloth suits and kid
gloves. Finally the party made mp their minds
to cross the street, diff cult feat for anybody TO
attempt to execute in the fall possession of their
senses, so derse Is the throng of passing car
riages. and 80 RAPIDLY are they driven; but the
crunEen THO got across somehow, and disap-
peared among the crowd of promenaders. Such
is a specimen of the changes wrought by the
lapse OF few years in the manners and Gus
toms of this people. Before the Introduction of
8bsinthe, who ever saw a drunken person in
the streets of Paris? Now who is il that does
not rec them? Not drunkenness in rags alone,
but drunkenness with goodly apparel, and mien
or ought-to- be respectabiLty."
