exclusive of his board which was

leAcluSlNe OI his DOarQ which Was
furnished him there. Of course the
amounts required Of the 'sgarcons'
depends upon the prominence and
custom of the cafe or restaurant in
which they are employed. The ''por-
boire" system has one advantage at
least, the extra two or three sous are
in incentive to the waiter to attend
to his business as rapidly as possible.
There has been sent from Geneva
to Paris for the Exhibition, the mo-
del Of section of metropolis arrang-
ed upon the perfected system Of NJ.
SchGck-Jaquet. Three rows. each
containing three cells, with their
two upper and lower lsolating spaces
are here shown. These should be
covered with layer Of vegetable
earth The cells on the left are OPP
en-; one contains a coffin; the middle
cells are closed by the simple plate,
which must be sealed in the presence
Of the relatives; but one Of them is
replaced by a window, through
which the interior may be seen and
which also permits the passage Of an
electric bell wire, double gauran-
tee to those who fear too precipitate
interment in cases Of catalepsy or
lethargy. The cells on the RIGHT are
definitely sealed, and their marble
tablets ornamented with inscriptions,
medallions, and receptacles for plants
and flowers. This last specimen is
intended to show that the idea Of
metropolis thus interpreted is not too
melancholy, but, on the contrary Of
iers facilities for various kinds of
decoration.
The French authorities have mani
tested their sympathy with the dis
tressed people Of the South by Civ
ing up one Of the days at the Trcca-
dero for their benefit. A grand con
cert will be held on the 18th Of Oct.
and it will undoubtedly be great
success, and the financial results will
be considerable. Americans in Pa
ris have been subscribing quite liber-
ally to the yellow fever fund.
/ The French authorities unfurled a
new American flag from the top of
| the Trocadero Palace this morning;
but unfortunately it was placed up
side down. The effect can be iinag-
ined. Of course steps were at once
taken to have it turned.
The street cars and omnibuses Of
Paris differ from ours in many re-
poets, and in some things are much
preferable. Passengers are carried
both in the interior and on top, but
the number is limited, and when
the limit is reached the sign Fcomplet'
IS placed over the door. Every
American here is told the story Of
his newly arrived countryman who
tried in vain to find car going his
way, but saw that every one was go
ing "Comp]et'' and that WASH his
direction. The fare is very cheap
only three sous for the top and six
for the interior.
Probably no city in the world is
governed like Paris. Everything is
kept in perfect order. The number
Of channels through which money
passes into the Golfers Of the govern
ment is astonishing, and the taxes
derived from the many institutions
which are generally under the con-
troll of individuals in other countries
are immense. Everybody in the en-
ploy Of the government direct is Ell
Their uniformed or is obliged to wear
someainsigna sof office. The custom
is a good one,. and is being followed
to;some extent in our own country.
