TRANSLATED Especially for N En-
reka sentinel"


A very intelligent Frenchman, now re-
siding in Eureka, and who is a close reader
Of the newspapers, called at u Office yes
terday and expressed a desire to correct the
erroneous impression that is preventing 80
many Base Rangers from visiting the Pa
ris Exposition this year, namely, the high
prices that tie Parisians are extortlng
from their visitors. The gentleman made
a rapid translation from q French news
paper, and we publish it intact. There Is
q good deal Of beer and lemonade in 1t,
but the feature that will attract the atten-
ton of the Eurekan is the los varieties OF
drinks, with English maiden attendance, at
the Anglo-American bar. II that item
does not prove an incentive for him to PACK
his grip sack and start for Paree, we Will
lose faith in any ordinary seductive induce
ment fetching him.
PARI EXPOSITION.
Everywhere a great deal Of p%reoccupa-
ton exists in the minds Of Intended visl-
tors to the Paris Exposition to know how
and at what prices one may live in the
modern Babylon. OF course a stranger
cannot expect to live III such a beehive
cheaper than when the Parisians have only
to cook for themselves. Have the inhabi-
tants not to pay dear for everything? But
to put down all ~exaggeration, we translate
a French correspondence, not yet published
by an American paper-so we believe at
least. In the Exposition grounds OF the
facades the Spanish restaurant give these
exquisite preparations, known only t. the
SDanisll and Italian confectioDers Lem
onade, 20 cents =; punch, a Ia Romano, 30
cents, and this last price for all other
drinks. To the first story one may have
Snanish chocolate for 25 cents, and
Spanish wines at II cents per glass.
At the Tunisian Cafe they give beer and
coffee at 10 cents. The Restaurant Chate-
Iaine, Il la carte, charge for confectioner-
les 5 cents: beer, 10 cents; ordinary wine,
80 cents a bottle; dish of meat, so cents;
service, s cents. Now we are across by the
Pont jena, and go to the Champ de Mars,
where we find in the corner of the palace a
buffet Fiancais at moderate prices; box
beer, 7 cents. On the opposite corner is
the bar Anglo-American, which has for
walters Young English maidens, and for
managers American fellows, who mix
drinks of f05 varieties, for % cents. (The
Anglo-American is where the special cor
respondent of the SENTINEL dates all Of
his letters .rom.) Box beer. 8 cents; sand
witches, G cents; ham, 80 cents; other
dishes, 40 and so cents. The Czdrda
Hungarian hotell. with the music of a
gypsy orchestra, give golden wine at 30
cents q half bottle, and beefsteaks a Ia
hungarian mode, 40 cents. The Russian
stall sells only cigarettes at 5 cents, and a
kind of lemonade at 7 cents a glass. AT
the Buffet HoHonddis, Netherland, all
cold meats 90 cents; liquors, II cents
Curacoes bitters, gin, etc., 6 to 10 cents,
Tho French Restaurant charges for bread,
2 cents; ham, 8 cents; roast beef, 10 cents
wine, % cents q bottle. just aside is
bouiHon duedl, of which the carte is ex
actlv the same as in all other establish
ments Of that denomination; meat from
to II cents; vegetables, 5 to 8 cents, des
serts, 4 cents; wine, IS cents a bottle
So there is not much to cry about
With a good Iicerone. OF a little experience
one can wisely live in Paris without goinI
out of the limits Of q reasonable budget
but fools, snobs and hippochondriacs ar
to be found everywhere.
There is a deal Of sack to be found in til
above translation, but the translator is
very observing gentleman, and his lis
will appeal directly to the Eureka public
Our readers who have hesitated, and a.
most abandoned the continental %journe
for fear that there was no adequate pre-
vision made for their necessities in tn
liquid line, will now possess their souls i
peace, and journey forth vita a confdcne
inspired by the light thrown on the sui
ject in the article published.
