PARIS, july 3l.--Aftcr the SUNDAY hoH-
daY, all Paris has gone to work again thi.
morn, and the streets and stores present
thcir usual aspect Of enterprise and hustle.
As there Is little or no drunkenness, or cX-
cess OF any kind accompanying these sun
day festivals, there are no headaches or
sour stomach> 10 be corrected before re-
stunning the active duties Of lie. sunday
i the lightcst Gay i'm the week for the
police, and the universal good order that
prevails here j. more marked on sunday
than any other day. Having given YOU
summary OF sunday in Paris, my present
notes must bc confined TO clearing my
mcmorandum-boOk Of q variety Of local
matters that have accumulated on il during
the past week.
CAKES AND CONFECTIONS.
We have in our party several experts q,
10 cakes, creams, and CONNECTIONS. They
know all the grades oi good. Indifferent.
and bad, and vote that Paris does not come
up 10 their expectations, especially in
creams and cakes. Chocolates and con-
served fruits they regard as very good, but
not better than those 10 be had at Barrcra
Riycra's or most ~ our leading Baltimore
COnicctiOncr-, whilst creams are not 10 be-
compared 10 those 10 be- had at The Bruins
wick. corner oi Madison and Wilson
streets, either in quality. quantity, or price.
The creams are like our frozen cu,tard>,
and cost twenty cents for "a small Wine
gll~>iul. Cakes Of an descriptions are
inferior TO the home article, and generally
have "a dOughy taste. The only cake, that
have suited their highlv-cducatcd tastes
are those To bc had al the Boston Bakery,
which has been doing prosperous bu-i-
ness FOR ten years past, and j, just around
The corner from our Paris home. The
Paris conserved cherries and other small
fruits arc, however, very fine, but thc can
dies. except the chocolate, are decidedly
inferior. What we call French candies,
manufactured at home. are also superior to
anything TO be had here. Your corrC-
>pcndcnt has shed his sweet tooth, and is
no judge but can youch for the capacity
OF OUT Young folks % form o correct
opinion on this subject.
