PARIS, Aug. 9th, 1873.
, Paris is renowned for its cui-
sine, and truly there are no peo-
pie in the world who live as well
and at the same time so econom-
, ically. From the Duchess whose
chocolat a. la creme de cdnille
is broughtinto her silk tapestried
boudoir of a.morning, in a cup
of rich Seyres porcelain, set ON
a silver salver, and who sips it
reclining on a bed, the quilted
silk cover of which is trimmed
with point d Alericon, worth
many thousands of francs to the
humble and cheerful little our-
riers (work-women) who enter
the colneyTe of the Quarter du
Cairo, and asks for three sous
worth of cafe Ga lat and petit
pain from the noble sportsman
who spends four dollars for his
breakfast at Bignon's, to the de-
decayed literary character who
creeps stealthily into the dingy
wine shop Of the Quarter Pig
alls; from the portly, bland and
smiling senator who, on leaving
the august assembly Of which
he is a member, steps in at Fay
cts for a dozen Of Ostende to
be washed down with half bot
tie of Senterne, twenty years
old, to the poor clerk who takes
his dinner at a restaurantof fixed
price, at the outlay of eighteen
cents; from the smart CONNER
cial traveller or man of business
who is a habitue of Duval's 10
the laborer out Of work who |
can just afford to pay five sous
for an ordinaire in the mystcri-
GUS region of the little Califor-
MIA, away down near the Boule-
ward Montrons. Parisians of |
all classes, provided with purs-
es long or short will always en-
JOY, OF appear to enjoy, the Ia
ble, be it sumptuous or spare.
Let us suppose ourselves in
the realms Of mammon, at the
corner of the Boulevard des
Italiens and the Rue Lafitte, the
frequenter Of the Boulevard viii
point ont TO the foreigner TO
whom he acts as guide a high
noble looking house, the win
dow ornamentations of which
Still retain the traces Of tEe4
copioas gliding lavished on
them years ago, but now nearly /
by the mordant tooth of :
lime. 1t is the MaiSon Doree )
Of world wide fame. The splen-
dor of its exterior gliding may !
nave been tarnishcd, but enter, .
md the most fastidious taste :
will be satisfied by the rich, ele- {
CANT, and yet simple decora- q
ions displayed within. The !
demands Of the most highly Is
cultivated epicure can be catered b
% here, but as in other estab- 4
ishments that / will describe,
lagos admonition: "Put money )

money in your purse, plenty Of '
money, a large number Of the {
icat little round pieces bearing T

arge number Of them at The
rosewood counter, behind which Y
its the neatly dressed female !

But If yOu wish to unveil the =
mysteries of Epicurus, the pic =

'xquisitesurroundings,y you must k
inter the temple Of the Gordon i
lea, you must ascend the car i !,

he sumptuous cabinets up stairs. r
There you will find the walls set

nother-of-pearl displayed in I
-aricd and fantastic design. So /,
as covered with rich velvets or o
ilk damasks court the gaze,
