AMERICAN LIFE IN PARIS.

ptris Correspondence Of me Baltimore american.
What is called the American colony in Paris con-
sists of about 1000 families large proportion
of them from the South. great many of them
might be regarded almost as permanent residents.
gOodly number OF them are people of limited
means, who find that they can live 80 much cheaper
here than in an American city that they have con-
cuded TO stay. One of these remarked TO to-day:
" | can live better in Paris on $4,000 per annum
than | could in New-YOrk on $4,000" He
then proceeded TO detail the difference. In
New-York he would be regarded
body unless he owned or rented br0wn-stone
house at FROM 81, 900 TO $4,000 per annum. Here
he could obtain suite of elegant apartments in q
fashionable neghb0rhOOd, at from $500 TO 81 900
per annum, and make as good an appearance as any
one else in his sphere. In NewYOrk he would have
to pay $40 per week for coachman, whilst here he
could engage u landau, with fine pair of horses,
and livered footman thrown IN, TO be always at
the reasonable call of his family, for $12 To $15
per week. Then he said he could clothe himself and
family at one-haf tho expense. aud much better,
than he could in New-York; that servant hire was
were always anusements here at moderate cost, and
cab at call To take him and family
home at all hours of the night for two
fraucs whilst in New-York such luxury would
cost 50. Then there was little or none of the
troubles of housekeeping in Paris as a family can
be fed cheaper thap il can feed itself, if satisfied
with French living. But he remarked, an Ameri-
can can never feel contented comfortable in Paris
until he goes to housekeeping aud orders his own
food and prescribes the mode of cooking il. A
Frenchmab loves the table dhOte but 10 Is an ab0m-

mode OF living, and luxuriate III griddle cakes,
muius, hot rolls and buekwheat cakes, all OF which
Partisan would regard as poison. They ex-
orcise the horrible French pattes, roast and
stuff their chickens instead of brolling or
frying them, serve up their salad without
OIL and let those who love oil oil it they eat their
peas and beans aud potatoes with their meat, and
mix things generally just they did at home They
