Special Correspondence Qf The Tribune.
PARIS, March 10.-Paris has gradually been
rcceding from old Lcnten forms, until they have
nearly disappeared, and that period, once de-
voted to fasting and prayer, now seems to be
the signal for opening all doors that have hither
to been closed In the fashionable world. Since
the commencement Of Lent, balls have multi.
piled, official fetes are succeeding each other in
wonderful rapidity, and the artistic and literary
world are wing with each other in the bri1liancy
of their entertainments. Most prominent among
the latter were reunion OF artists from all parts
OF the world at the beautiful home Of Pierre Vero,
aud grand fete given BY the Ministre de Pin
struction Publique to the best artists Of the
Theatrc-Francafs. The Russian Ambassador
inaugurated his fortnigltly receptions last Sat
urtiay evening at his residence on the Rue de
Grenelle, Suint Germain. II. Theirs also held
grand lcyec recently on the anniversary of his
birth, and to-day the Duke Decazcs will give q
magnificent banquet. 4 description Of last
weeks balls would only be repetition Of those
previously given, with their elegant toilette5,
beautiful women, enhancing music, and splen-
did decorations. The absence ol conversation
at these balls has been noticed as remarkable
fact this winter, and many reasons have been
assigned as to the cause. Some maintain 1t Is
in consequence Of the economical principles
with which our times are fmprcsnatcd, aud
others think ladies are losing their a1apility
by aspiring to become savanfes: but, Without
knowing the cause, the facts remain the same.

The New York Tribune sees another
sigu Of reconciliation in a small but sig.
nifcant incident, namely; ut is said
that the reception of the President at
the house of one of the citizens OF Nash
vile had the effect Of breaking down the
barriers that the war had built up in the
society Of the city, aud that the ladies
who had been -sympAthizers with the
Confederate cause seemed anxious to
receive their Northern visitors with a
most assuring cordiality. The incident
is of no importance except as showing
the effect that the Presidents visit may
have already had in fusing sections OF
the people which, till now, have stood
apart. The wish to bring about this re.
Cancellation is the burden Of all the
Presidents speeches, and even q slight
progress toward its fulfllment would be
enough to have made his visit worth
while"

A correspondent at Zgolince tel,

No improvement seems likely. Half the

A CORRESPONDENT recently wrote to
the Brandon Miss Republican to know
the difference between a Radical and an
Independent. Here is the answer: "a
Radical is a. Republican politician who
is not ashamed of the name, and an
Independent is a Republican who is
ashamed of the name, and who denies
being a Radical when talking to Dem.
ocrats, but admits it when talking to
Republicans. In other words, an IDdl'
pendent is a cross between a mean Dem
ocrat and a NANCY Republican, who can
not be trusted by either"
