| Ticket offices will be numerous and the french
man cares so little for time and trouble that the
! total receipts will probably not be much diminished
by tying this particular piece of red tape INTO the

| THE PARIS PoIICEMAN's WAYS AND PRIVILEGES.
Here as well as anywhere may say a word about
| the Partisan policeman; with whom the foreigner
the American at any rate-will come in contact, Tor
| good or for evil, much oftcncr than at home He
will find him very different person from the guar
dian of the public peace he is accustomed to in New
York or Boston, At first, he viii probably dislike
the air of authority which the Partisan sersean-de
Vile possesses in common with the soldier indeed.
the policeman is dOubly soldier for he has proba-
bly served in the regular army, and the police or
ganIzation takes military shape and has many
military customs. If you are unwittingy
doing something you ought not to, you
| will be spoken to in tone rather
sharper than you are accustomed to; the reInon-
STRANGE or request addressed to you will sound very
| like command sometimes of the most peremptory
| kind. But ,ne man docs not mean to offend you
and you will be wrong to take offence; still more
wrong to show it. The tone and manner are not put
on for the stranger; they are such as the French
nocenIen has employed all his life long in his deal
| lngs with the French public. The Custom House
officer has saluted you on landing in style not very
dissmilar; even the railway conductors and the
very porters have much the same habit
of addressing everybody who does not wear
| a uniform Tor q decOratiOD)-aS If they
belonged to a distinctly inferior order of creation
You needn't mind it in the least. In the case OF
policeman il is doubly foolish to resent 1t. III You
don't happen to speak French, he will pass You on
| with q smile or a growl of contempt making you
understand as best he what you are TO do or not
do. If YOU can keep up your end of the converse
tion. a few civil words and tone of perfect cool
ness will 90 a great way. Keep your temper, no
| matter what happens. If you are never 50
| right, and he so wrong, you must do
| what ne SAYS unless you can make him see
| that he is wrong. He will listen TO a reason
| able explanation. Anything like impertlnence
| TO policeman will be apt to entail dlsagreeable
consequences resistance will be sure to, and no.
body but mailman would think OF it. blow

French policeman is never alone); by very un-
pleasant night in the police cells, and by term Of
| imprisonment which might carry you well beyond
| the close of the Exhibition. The argument of the
| fist is not understood in France. No matter what
! the provocation, the who strikes policeman,
or the man who i'll private quarrel first strikes his
| adversary is invariably held tho aggressor, ana
