PARIS, November 9th, 1878.
r. M. WHITE-It is not yet de-
cided whether the exhibition shall
close on the 18th, or be kept open as
long as people can be found to pay
for the pleasure of wandering amid
the confusion and dust of the clear
ing off. Officially the place IS
closed already, and the Champ de
Mars has become of a sudden q
scene of confusion. This is not SO
perceptible in the grounds, though
even here there is much to remind
you Of Bartlemy Fair, but once you
enter the palace, lately so noisy with
the thunder of machinery, the peal
ing of the grand organs, and the
never-endlng chimes of prize clocks,
YOU hear now the sound OF hammers
changing upon packing-cases, and the
voices of the keen hucksters bowling
their wares. Very busy some of
these venders are, to be sure. They
have not much regard for the cheap
holiday folks who are still to he seen
in crowds. and who merely come TO
stare: thew try to catch the hettor
sort of visitors who come TO bpv.
A recent caricature by Cham depicted

Despite the tracts o, bare room
that can now be seen in the sections,
the blank spaces on the walls of the
picture rooms. the forlorn look of the
more expansive restaurants, aud the
general hustle of people running
about with parcels, the Exhibition
has az this moment picturesqneness
all its own.
