PARIS, June 80, 1873
The weather here is blazing hot. You
may judge of the sufferings of the Parisans
when the visiting Persians cannot stand it.
Everybody puffs and perspires Nazare
Agha, hopeless Of attaining GOODNESS by
going abroad, confines himself to bed.
The Shah is compelled to spend most Of
his time at the Hammums, where he can
alternate a swelter with douche and then
aoze off into ecstasy with cup of coffee
md a narghiIeh.
BRoILING AT THE EXHIBITION.
The Exhibition is killing off people by
scores. The terrible passage from the Troca-
Zero to the Champ de Mars is worse than
anything in Dante's Inferno" Crossing
the line is nothing to crossing the Seine by
the Pont de Jena. Those running the
yantlet Of Its exposure are doomed either
% death or madness. No sheltering tree is
% be halted under; no cooling drink is to
De obtained by the way.
TERRIBLE RESULTS.
The consequences are appalling. Several
Eases Of lunacy have appeared among the
Jurors. With these unfortunates the pre-
vailing hallucination is that their fellow
Jurors are the only clever or meritorious
people in the wide, wide world When,
therefore, they meet for the purpose of
making awards they give all the recon-
penses to each other.
AMERICANS KEtP COOL.
The American section is the only one that
keeps cool. The temperature may be high
but the funds are low, and they have laid
in plentiful supply Of ice water 1t is the
only beverage procurable in the department
The honorary commissioners do not like it.
They came over here full of expectation
If good time Anybody who knows
Paris is aware that enjoyment is accessible
ander sufficiently argentiferous conditions,
but still the honorable commissioners are
aot happy. They cannot have their good
lime ut the expense of Uncle Sam that is
what gals them this hot weather. So they
yuzzle ice water and grumble and have Sc
rious doubts about the election of President
Hayes.
STUDY IN WHITE.
There is one person here who keeps per-
fectly cool. Frenchmen have seen him but
to envy him. He is an American. He halls
from New York. and is not unknown about
he Court House. He dresses in white
duck and wears ventilator hat, in
which the wonder-mongers falsely af-
firm he has miniature windmill
that goes by clockwork. Ho crossed
on Friday from the Trocaiero to the Champ
de Mars He did not turn a hair Over
him he held Il silk umbrella He carried a
palm leaf fan. He walked, he smoked and
he famed. Perspiring Frenchmen who
met him on the journey declared he lowered
the temperature MS he passed. English
men, dressed in the sombrc huos Of their
native land, mopped their torcheads and
grew purple with envy.
THE MYSTERY.
He was found later on ut table in front
OF the coolest restaurant, with glass before
him. Sprigs OF mint, dcliciously green,
seemed growing out Of miniature icebergs,
to which an amber liquid gave an exquisite
tint. There was also straw. His chair
was tilted back and he occasionally
wore his hat tilted down over his
nose, as one in pleasant dream.
How he compassed all these things no one
knows. To an Englishman who had worked
himself into fever while vainly yelling for
some one to wait on him, he said, with
bitter smile, "You don't know the ropes"
lie is the mystery of the hour, but he would
not be mystery AT Long Branch nor at
BuPrETs BEpEs.
A curious innovation has been established
since my last letter under the title Of "Buf-
fnts Bebcs." Ihe name is simply a satire,
