everybody out Of town. Those who have
been here since the Exposition opened are
surfeited with social pleasures and public
displays, and the blazing heat lays the last
straw on the denizen of this lovely city.

Mesopotamian village in the time of the
plague. That Everybody is out Of town"
is as true of Paris now as it is Of London
when the time comes for Parliament to close
its doors.
THE HIGH PRICES
Apropos of the plague, l may say that
the hotels begin to show the effects of the
epidemic Of overcharges, and that COM
bined with the high temperature has mate
rally lessened the number of guests at the
highest priced hostelries. There is uni
versal protest even from Frenchmen
against these impositions at the hotels and
cafes. Still the hotel keepers have their
philosophy, which is that the patience Of
the guests with the prices will last as long
as their enjoyment OF Paris in July and
August, and who will say they are wrong?
THE NEW coMEhs.
But if the tide Of the great ones has set
out to Trouville, Dieppe, Biarritz and the
thousand and one country nests by forest,
stream and mountain, the tide Of foreign
arrivals continues Large numbers Of
Americans and Englishmen are arriving.

THE EXPOSITION.
The great fair is literally in the full
blaze Of success It draws the same crowds
as it did O month ago. Everything now is
in working order. If anybody wants an
idea of human endurance he has only to
pay visit to the machinery department.
The crowds packed around the whirring,
buzzing and throbbing things that illus
trate mechanical progress make one hot
merely to look at them.
JURY WORK.

ing the concerts of English music at the
Trocadero, under the baton of Arthur Sulli-
van. These concerts represent English mu-

The leading personages Of the govern
ment and of all parties. President McMa-
hon and NJ. Gambetta included, make a
point of attending these musical feasts out
of compliment to England and tho Prince.
GLAD AND SORRY.
Great relief is felt here over tho peaceful
adjournment of the Congress. but this is
tempered with disappointment and chagrin
over the underhand stroke by which Eng
land has acquired Cyprus. It was thought
that this feeling would vanish after day
or two, but it continues, and will not be
