In reality, these people tnat speak OF
live like paupers. They sleep on the
door the wear round, and often on the
kitchen floor at that. This last is con.
venient, as they can get up and put the
coffee over the spirit lamp, and retire
again until it: is prepared. Coffee is
taken in bed, Of course.
For the benefit of the girls'at home,
who may admire and envy this lady of
luxury that graciously asks you into
her boudoir at IL o'clock, declaring
she has just arisen, and invites you to
take coffee with her, l will tell you
something of her toilets, and the slngu-
lar way in which they change with the
hours of the day.
Madame goes to market as early as
possible. Nobody is out early in the
morning--that is to say. nobody before
whom she cares to keep up an appear
ance--and, as the market people always
measure a customer before setting
price. it is wise to go to the market
shabbily dressed, not only because no
one will see her, but as a matter of
economy. So the toilet Of the day is
not made until this duty is reformed.
In exchange for the great, airy bath
room, with its abundance Of hot and
cold water, and it's fresh, clean towels,
which Americans cannot do without,
Madame has, in little dark hole be-
tween the kitchen and her bedroom,
| A PINT OF WATER
in basin the size of fingcr-bowl. For
water is too precious commodity to be
used unless sparingly. 1t has to be car
ried from the street up five flights of
stairs; and servant must be paid five
cents an hour to do it. No further ar
guments than these are necessary with
Madame. With the aid Of dirty little
towel, for clothes must be washed away
from home-there is neither room nor
water to do it in these papier-mache
boxes lady will succeed in making
herself tery tidy. I have really began
to wonder if there is not such thing as
a dry wash. At 10 the coitfeur comes,
and Madame's hair is dressed, as,
my dear, you never think Of
having yours dressed, except it
be for a ball. If she chance to be a
little gray, the hair is powdered after it
has been arraigned in its intricate pufts,
braids, and frizzes. A coiffeur costs
but few sous, and this dressing Of the
hair is, l believe, the stronghold of
French women. I know that it made
a profound impression upon me.

five could put up with their simplicity
and make ourselves comfortable in her

into another apartment. All this
was to be granted because of the very ia.
vorable impression we have made upon
her. Itwould be so disagreeable for us
to move into an ordinary boarding

Home indeed! have my doubts if
there be many such things in Paris, ex-
cept where some Americans have made
their nest for few years. This matter

LIFE At LONG BRANCH.
Retirement Not One of the
Features.

Correspondence OF Tue N. i. lrlDune.j
LONG BRANCH, July l9.-The success
of the season here is already assured.
A few weeks ago, when the cottagers
were putting their houses in order, old
patrons of the hotels were quizzing the
landlords about prices, and suggesting
a reduction from those of last year.
The times were hard, they said, trade
dull, almost as many as last year going
to Europe to save expense, and unless
content with empty rooms the gushing
hotel keepers must lower their rates.
The latter we're not so sure about it.
Theirs were the pockets interested, and
they had theory of their own. New
cottages were building, the President
was coming as usual, and money had
been made since the panic. The class
that spend the summer at the Branch,
they concluded, would crowd their
houses this season. Terms, therefore.
for the most part, held their own, and
now the boats from New York
are as heavily loaded as ever,
and last Sunday the crowd
outnumbered that of the corresponding
Sunday of 1873. Many went to the
races at Monmouth Park on Saturday,
and many remained at the Branch over
Sunday, while hundreds besides the
regular guests sought relief from the
discomforts of the city for a single day.
To imagine that any one comes to a
Long Branch hotel for rest or retirement
would be a most singular conception.
Such pretense is seldom made. In,
general, people come here as they would
70 in winter to continuous Academy
ball-with intermissions of daylight
for sleep and dress. There is a varia-
ton in the hours, to be sure, but only
such as the fashion makes. Those who
do the proper thing, sleep later than in
the city, but they dress oftener, and, if
anything, with greater at
tempt at display. What
wonder that many sensible
New Workers seek the remote resorts.
such as Rye Beach, the Isle of Shoals,
and Mount Desert, where they can do
IS they please, without diamonds and
in ignorance Of the latest fashions:
am not saying that there is no enjoy
ment here. A few there are who make
the best of their surroundings, bathe,
romp, dress naturally, and are inde-
pendent; and Of course everybody
drives out every day, for, thanks to
Gen. Grant, or some one else, this is
fashionable. Then there is dancing,
evenings, at the hotels, for which good
music is furnished. The preparations
N the shape of toilets are very elabor-
ate, and occasionally betray signs Of
good taste. Certainly there is no lack
Of richness and expense, and what other
considerations are requisite At Long
Branch? Where these are possible, it
is, fortunately, not essential that there
should be any remarkable degree Of
beauty intermingled. 49,.
ACCOMMODATIONS.
Whoever comes to Long Branch ex-
poets to pay for it, and in this respect
he is not disappointed; nor does he have
his heart set upon anything extravagant
in the way of apartment, while he is de-
termined to be content with whatever
the poor landlord can afford him at the
table at pittance of $5 per day. He
has the good fortune to get room with

The "Derby Day" Holiday Voted by Parlia-

Escape of the Alabama-Still Grieving
Over the Treaty of Washington.

LONDON, June 2, 1874.
In the House OF Commons tonight the usual
motion was made TO adjourn over the Derby day.
Sir Wired Lawson opposed an adjournment,
but the motion was carried by OF 243 yeas TO

Mr.. George Anderson, member for Glasgow, called

causes. He complained Of the high-handcd man.
ner in which the late government had prevented
timely criticism OF The Treaty OF wash
ington. There were three classes OF
British subjects who deserved cOmpensa-
tion-frst, residents In the Southern Con-
federacy who lost their property through the IN
ability OF the United States TO enforce the laws !;
second, those whose property was destroyed
alter Lees surrender; third, owners OF goods on
board the prizes OF the Confederate cruisers. He
believed the United States were willing TO recog-
nze these claims
Mr.. Anderson then moved that In the opinion OF
the House It is wrong that individuals should
suffer severe loss through national wr0ng-dOing ;
that as England has been adJudlcated at lault in
permitting the escape OF the Alabama, and has
compensated Americans for losses incurred
thereby, similar compensation IS due to BRUSH
sufferers from the same causes
Hon. Mr.. Bourke. Under Secretary for the Foreign
Department, replying, declined to enter upon a
discussion Of the merits OF the Treaty OF Washing
ton. The Joint High Commissioners had decided
that the United States government was not re-
sponsible for the acts of the rebels. AS that gov
eminent had agreed to appoint commission to
examine the claims for losses arising after Lees
surrender he hoped the subject before the House
would not be pressed.
The motion was then negatived.
