CORRESPONDENCE.
PARIs. on. l2th lHSl.

Since my friend Willie has returned
from Lake Geneva, where he had
spent the SIMMER, we have had some gay
times. A week ago Sunday we agreed to
go to Versailles, so we met about 80 p. NJ. +,
at the Case st. Lazane and rode out there
| on top OF one OF the cars of ctemia de fer
ne Versailles. They have seats on top Of
most of the second class cars on the subur-
ban roads and it is a jolly English good
place TO ride for it IS so high you can get
splendid view of the country. We went
to Versailles this day because it was the
first Sunday OF the month and on this day
only do the stupendous and magnificent
fountains play at this place, and further.
more it is the last time they play this year.
not PLAYING again before the first Sunday
in May. You remember | suppose that
Versailles was the home of Lonis XVI. be-
fore he was brought to Paris during the
Revolution, 1t was begun by Louis XIV
and think finished by Louis XIV and was
| designed to be the finest palace in eXis-
lance do not think great deal of the
| palace itself. bat the grounds with their
avenues and fountains are certainly beau
tiful. The palace stands on elevated
ground and before it is spacious terrace,
with two large fountains in each half, and
| tue IL A
fight of steps takes you down away to
another level spot having large fountain
in the center and two small fellows on
either side. Below this again is piece
Of land and from this an esplanade leads to
the Grand canal. This is an artificial
basin OF water in the form of cross.
Just this side Of the canal the ground is
level awhile and there is here large
| fountain. All this of which i have spok-
en- lies in wide alley through the trees.
The view from the upper terrace is superb
there are lots Of little lawns scattered
about, dotted with flower beds, and sever
al rows of box trees kept carefully trimmed
in the shape Of cones. We must have got
ten here about 3 o'clock the fountains
were not to be set going before o'clock
so we wandered about the grounds.
| should here mention that the trees on
either side OF the large opening are cut up
with systems Of paths that converge to
ward yistas containing fountains. In
strolling along these paths we would come
ont into open places before we were aware
Of il. Willie, who is au artist, was quite
worked up concerning the place and was
quietly painting pictures of the "court
days" on the inner wall of his Uranium.
We stood some time listening to the ausic
and watching the thousands Of people
who were moving backward aud forwards
whichever way we looked, 1t was not
difficult matter under the influence Of
the music to imagine this throng to BE the
excited popnlace clamoring ouD.de while
Louis aud Antoinette were tre- oblng with
in, Willie said that be ST. emit a great part
Of his time in imsginip z, (which is more
agreeablel, that this was all leyee given
by L'onis XVI the. he had before him all
the beauty, VT and intelligence OF the
times. Wen the people have undoubted.
ly gained considerable, since that time, in
knowied &c and in civil liberty.

There is fair prospect that within ten
years the United States will stand at the
head Of the nations in cotton manufactures.
In the past ten years, while Great Britain
has made slight increase in the amount
OF her manufactures, the gain of the Unit
ed States has been more than 100 per cent
The amount Manufactured in the United
States In 1850 was, in round numbers, 9j0,.
o0,00O pounds. The gain OF the United
States has been 30 rapid that il the same
proportion be kept up her consumption Of
the raw material will exceed that OF Great
Britain ia much less than ten years.
