Well, nev.r saw such place in nv
life. The carriages aud convey luce,
don't get out OF the way; If they run
over you, they are not punished: you
must get out of their way. There are
immense medallions in the streets al 1
boulevards, ornamental with mag1id.
cent lamps and clocks. and als1 with
colossal statues in bronze and marble.
These medallions are raised a little
above the street, and you can get on
these, and(hus be protected from the
rush. In daytime. and night, too, II
seems to me that all Paris is rushing to
the races.
II you could only see the Chlups
Elysees (Eiysian fields) at ri3nt, all
lighted up-three con,ert gardens. the
feuees of festoons and pyramiis OF pink
and white globes-all lighted and the
gateway, all lighted with gass, aud the
iounia us playing, magnificent statuary
towering above tue tres, and the
stages ablsza with chrystal and gold
aud gas, and psgodas, hi yh up above
the trees, filed with beautiful flower,
ablax, with light! Hers ladies' and
gentlsmen sit, drink wine and e It ices,
grapes, peaches, etc. 1 was up in one
OF these places several times. a1i was
charmed. the Elysian fields at night
are s,ene of enchautmeut. Tue Jar
din NIbille is not in existencs any
more. The Elysian avenue is broad,
beautifully paved with s'phaltum. bril-
llantly lighted on each side with gas.
The vehicles going up aud down on
either sids at night, remind me of
torchlighr procession, and as far as the
eye can reach. The lamos oa this ave-
que look like a string OF stars. TaIs
m Ignificent avenue is fi4nkei with
handsome palaces Here live tue
R5thschids, Munro, the banker, an 1
many others. This avenue is a fash
ionable promenade. From to o'clock
you see numerous cBrrlages, iider' an
pedestrians on their way to the Bois de
Boulogne. at the G lamps E.ysees one
can witness the characteri tIc phases of
Partisan life. The Bois de Boulogne j.
