From our regular correspondent
lloTEL DE Louvre,
Paris, May s,b, rs. !
Now when the edge Of II ovelty is
worn off and the Exhibition has set-
tied down into its 'humdrum" state
it il much easier to navigate and get
good idea of the thing, as a whole
IL must not he understood from this
however, that everything is finished
and in apple-pie order, for such is very
far from being the case indeed, |
think l may safely say that it will be
we'll into June before all the Depart
ments will be presentable and all
details arranged. One thing is COM
pleted, however, and that is the res
taurants and places Of refreshment ;
aud as these will form an important
item in the experiences Of foreigners
who visit tho Exhibition, | shall say
few words Of them right here.
There are four strictly iirst-class
restaurants in the Champ dc Mars,
one second-class ditto, and four buf
fots occupying tho angles of the
building. The cheap establishment
is presided over by the Messieurs
Duval of boiled beef celebrity, and
good dinners are supplied here, con
sisting Of four courses and n pint
bottle of claret, at tho fixed price of
one franc and fifty centimes, or
about thirty cents in our money. OF
tho four iirst-class places referred to
ono is Viennese house kept by
Messrs Ganglaff Il Boesinger, whore
Austrian, Hungarian. Russian and
Turkish dishes may be had, and tho
three others are Parisian, on the
samo model as Vefours and Big
Mons. On the other side of the riv.
er, in the Trocadiro gardens, there
is an excellent Spanish restaurant,
and German brewery for the man
ufacture and sale of malt liquors.
OF the four bullets within the main
buildings one is Dutch Cafe Of the
Amsterdam type, and another Gin
the corner Of the British division)
an English bar, managed by the
we'll known London brewing firm OF
Ind Coope Il Co, who have, as |
said in my last, imported "mixer'
from the United States for tho spe
cial benefit of thirsty Americans
This place is extremely showy, clean,
and appetizing generally, and must
become a favorite lounge if only for
the comeliness and deftness Of its
bar-maids-a class of damsels OF
which the French have hitherto
known little.
There have been some Whispering
of a "row' among thu American Ar
fists here, many of whom were ex
} cluded, and some of those whose
works we're admitted claim that theil
paintings are hung in "bad lights,
&c. &c. 1t is yet too early to spesa
: at length, OF our collection Of pic.
y lures shall devote q subsequen,
letter to that but u stroll through
the gallery shows fair selection
better, on tho whole, than | had
, been led to expect from my Phila
delphia experience in this line. The

3 aud Mr., st Gaudens, have evidentl,

{ lieve conscientious. There is som,
wonderfully strong painting heal
: of youth for instance, by j. z
: Vinton, which, il it had been don,
. by Il pupil of Velasquez, might hav
earned the masters praise. Their,
y is also superb moonlit sea by Nh
: U. Z. w. Dane. Many OF the sub
c jects, rejoice to see, are hom
! scenes, though they are treated, a
they should be in the style of th
l foreign schools in which, as yet, tn
0 art is best learned. The Neo Eng
: land Cedars OF Mr.. Clifford look
like work by Conat MIR. Bunce'

{ edge. sincerity and manly strength
