giving that one IL expected TO- be clever
about figures, or locality, OF messuD-
ment, 1t any rate about something, in or
der 10 prufit by il, but the misgiving is
vain; the plan is so simple that it staggers
one with a notion of ones own intelli-
gence, and entirely justifies the recon-
mendation, "TheIe, no one short Of an
idiot can blunder over that"
Guided, then, by the "Plan Boussole,"
we find that in the rear of each several
department there is restaurant special
to the same, where national eatables and
drinkables arc dispensed by natives; and,
finally, that each country has sent few
soldiers to act as police in its interests.
Here Russia and Turkey meet on neutral
ground, and the heroes of Greece mount
peaceful guard over the jackets and the
pipes, the amber and the filigree, the tas-
Eelled caps, and the inlaid gupstocks Of
Albania. Pretty Russian girls, with
white muslin bodices, red petticoats and
.stomachers, plated hair and tinsel neck
laces, just like the chorus singers In "L'-
Etoile du Nord," dispense petite cerres of
kummel, suspiciously like the anisette of
Paris and elsewhere; Dutch young per-
sons, sturdy of build and phlegmatic Of
manner, attached to the section of Hol-
land-rich in linen fabrics, golden orna-
ments, wonderful toys, carvings and
much solid merchandise - administer
schnapps to the multitude, who also flock
to the black-velvet- and. bead .ceiffsd Ba-
vasians for beer as il they had it not on
tap in Paris; the Italian confectionery

vardiers venture on the delicacies OF
Japan. The Chinese buffet is probably
not popular; what could one ask for
there, except the nasty nests that people
affect to like when they find them in their
soup at pretentious dinners, and who
could approach the place without thinking
of that fearsome nursery rhyme which
tells of "snips, and snails, and puppy
dogs tails2" Amazing drinks from the
United States find favor with the crowd,
and it is needless to add that the great
restaurants, those at the extremities of
the building and in the grounds, are al
ways crowded; for the most accustomed
visitor to Paris, equally with the novice
to whom the Capital Of Pleasure reveals
itself for the first time, beholds in 1t the
g-and .drinkingest city in the world.
Inside the Exhibition, as we'll as out
side, that feature Of Paris life is equally
striking-everywkere the grand object OF
existence is restauraton. The complaints
of exorbitant charges at the Exhibition
restaurants are unceasing, but the restau-
ratsurs drive roaring trade for all that,
and 80 do all the marchands of every kind
of sweetmeat and edible dispersed
throughout the grounds; while all the en-
frances are beset with vendors OF some
thing to eat, and the bells of the man
with the shining fountain of something
to drink, combined with brass and red
velvet, are never silent.
