women You have doubtless seen this
innovation OF the Greeks of Paris. /
suppose the Postmaster General will
soon be asking for new tax upon this
style Of correspondence which dispenses
with the mails For instance, one meets
lady with a spray Of white lilac in her
corsage, II he is Don Juan he salutes
her, proves that he knows her, and begs
to inhale the fragrance of her lilaes.
But if he is timid man, he declares his
alteration in the Figaro. Now, as fifty
women probably wore lilaes in their
bosoms at the same moment, you may
fancy the embarrassment OF the timid
man If the whole fifty answer. ANA
teurs and impertinents also intervene.
In answer to the question, why this
silenceT somebody answers, why this
recollectionH There are enough idle
people who are willing to pay louis for
their joke. For instance, apropos to the
departure Of a man too much appreciated
in his quarter, woman writes: There
was seen yesterday long procession of
widows with large black wells. They
were the relicts of Destengue Of the

Meanwhile America is building up the
world, or rather she says that her house
is the universe. There is one thing we
are trying to borrow from America, and
that is the art of making a newspaper
In Paris we are mere school-boys, and
dlers as we'll When we have read the
papers, we know no more than before
We must 60 into society, on Change, or
on the boulevard to learn the news, while
the reporters OF the daily papers are
playing dominoes in the cafes. Do you
want to know how paper is made here2
1t is very simple: the journals make
themselves out Of one another. The
scissors do far more than the pen.
Paragraphs out of the evening papers
become articles in the morning papers,
and the reverse You discuss with your
opponent political question already
discussed a thousand times, and thou.
sand times more muddled at the end than
the beginning. Darkness instead of
light is thrown upon it. A Prefect of
the Fourth of September, who was as
good a Prefect as he had been a jour
nalist, recounted while dining with me
at the Chateau de Breuil-for it was the
Prefect of Laon-how, one morning,
seeing that all his associates had gone
off to civil funeral, he decided to make
the paper by himself. He scissored
away at other papers so much and so
we'll, that he needed only line of in
vention here and there to reduce to har-
mony these heterogeneous ideas gath
cred from every side The paper came
out at four o'clock, and at five his editor.
in-chief, who had been to make speech
at the civil funeral, came to congratu-
late him, saying the paper had never
been so complete or so interesting. Since
that time the editor in chief has followed
no other system.
Perhaps you imagine in reading our
papers that all those fine things leap
alive from the brain of Minerva They
have usually existed at least hundred
times the life of the rose, and are taken
up and turned inside out for the oc-
cssion, For instance, Emile de Girardin
has always a highly interrogative article
ready for any possible event. We call
this reserved wit.
For several months the Figaro has
been taking on a Franco-American
character. 1t has started a page Of
/ advertisements which is amusing to
Frenchmen and especially to French

The HuItnn,n Gema

From recent letter from Constanti-
nople to the Providence Journal we
quote: The accounts which are given
of the riches which are boarded in the
palace have the SAVIOR of the tales Of the
Arabian Nights. Beyond doubt, a vast
deal Of wealth, in the form Of diamonds
and precious stones, is accumulated
there. The ostentatious display By the
Shah of Persia of his wealth in this di-
rection, on the recent tour Of visitation
with which he favored Europe, is well
known. Among profusion of Jewels on
his person, he was accustomed to wear a
cap heavily embroidered with diamonds
and fastened at the front with a brilliant
OF enormous size On the occasion when
the Sultan was to receive him as his
guest, the grand staircase and the corri-
dor leading to the audience-room were,
in anticipation of the arrival Of the Shah,
ordered to be laid with heavy Smyrna
rugs, studded all over with diamonds,
emeralds and sapphires, so that the royal
visitor was obliged to tread under his
feet the evidence of greatness which he
wore on his head. The Sultan received
him, as he stepped upon the staircase, in
a plain dress, wearing his usual simple
tez OF scarlet cloth, and without personal
ornament of any kind. A neat bit of
sarcasm for barbarian. Any visitor at
Constantinople can procure a frman
from the Sublime Porte to visit the i'm
perial treasure house at the old Seraglio,
where he will see more wealth in Jewel
studded trinklets, diamond.mouhted
sword-hilts, belts, scabbards, horse furni-
ture and caparisons, cups, vases, articles
OF Eastern workmanship, and single
stones Of immense value, than would buy
the crown jewels in the tower of London
twice over. A specimen of the contents
Of this repository in the form of golden
throne set with precious stones, and
which were formerly a present from Per
sia, is to be sent to our Centennial exhi-
bition. 1t was one of the contributions
of Turkey to' the Vienna Exposition.
just now it is the fashion for the women
Of the harem to make costly presents to
the Sultan. These presents are usually
something in the direction of the nation
al armament. The motherof the Sultan,
who seems to have head for business,
has the credit of inventing this substan-
tial form of feminine Establishment.
Some fine pieces of artillery have been
thus contributed to wake up the royal
favor - 80 ..r--r

SPECIAL NOTICE.
A Brain.DestrOying Maiady.

That insomnia, or inability 10 sleep, has be-
come very prevalent Of late years, is sufi-
ciently evidenced by the fact that numbefless
remedies have been introduced within the
last decade special intended for its cure, and
that new sedatiyes are continually cropping
up. But no. medicinal agent has so widely
and clearly established its claims as genu-
inc soporihc az hOs;etter's Stomach Bitters.
That il removes this brain destroying inabil-
ity lar more effeciually than the brOmides,
chlorals and yalerianates in use. is not to be
wondered at when we consider that such
drugs act only on the brain, which is not the
source u the evil, while the Bitters rectify the
alimentary disturbances which originate II.
1t is admitted by physicians that dyspepsia
and non-assimilation OF the food produce
sleeplessness The Bitters overcome these
obstacles to repose as we'll as those urinary
troubles which are also said to interfere with

sedative invigorantat bed time rarely fails to

Of the present instability Of peace these
