Parisian ExtorIinns.

Lucy II. Hooper, in her letter from Paris
TO the Philadelphia telegraph, says: 1t is
an unfortunate fact-unfortunate for the
travelling pubic at large, I mean-that
Americans are usually so ready to submit
20 the swindles and extortions of Partisan
hotel-keepers. OF course, it lie not pleas
ant, when the trunks are packed and the
carriage is at the door, to be called upon
TO miss train in order to set right some
comparatively small overcharge in the lust
rendered bill, aud so the amount is paid,
and the hotel-keeper rejoices in
nls successful roguery. Occasionally
my tellow-countrymen rebel, as in one in
stance that came to my knowledge, where a
lady having spilled little ink on the carpet
OF her bedroom, found the price of new
carpet added to her bill. In vain did she
call attention to the fact that the spot was
but small one, and that the carpet
was miserable, worn, threadbare concern
that could last but short time longer at
best. Her host grew insulting, talked of
the police, ETC., and 30 the lady gave in and
consented to pay. But the day that she
eft the hotel she walked quietly out, pur-
chased quart bottle Of ink, and returning
10 her room she deluged the carpet from
end to end. "You shall not make tl1o car
pets out Of me-" was her comment to the
eXasperated hotel keeper. On another occa-
sion an American gentleman was compelled
70 pay for large looking glass which had
a small crack in one corner, the crack hav-
ing existed when he engaged the room,
but he, being unused to the wiles and
wickedness Of foreign inns, had never
thought Of calling attention to it. He paid
his bill without word, but he shattered
she mirror into minute fragments before he
left the house.

Political Notes.

An Indiana correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial has been journeyiDg
through that state, and has found sHrpri-
sing Bristow strength everywhere. Morton
is the first choice in all parts, but Bristow
is just as unanimously the second choice.
The correspondent found no Blaine men at
all, and only few for Hayes Nashburne, ,or
Conkling.
Why not nominate and elect Bristow ?
There is not single valid objection to him.
He is in the prime of life, full of physical
vigor, with powerful, well-trained intellect,
and has proved himself to be statesman
of high order, thoroughly capable, honest,
self reliant and Courageous Indianapolis
Netos, (ind)
A candidate who has left the pushing of
his own case to others is not likely to be
the favorite at the outset. His strength
lies in being the second choice of many.
Unless we are greatly mistaken, Secretary
Bristow will develop very considerable
strength in that direction at CINCINNATI
