PARIS. August I, 1883

In winter Parisians live during ak
months under water, which is con-
sldered superior to London fogs, and
IL summer, ak months in the water
at the sea SIDE, or spa. The sea
side migration also presents the ad-
vantage of allowing an exchange of
vieits, which in the metropolis is next
to impossible for business people, who
as a rule only meet at dinners, mar
riages and burials. The doctors order
their patients to soIourn at the seq
side in order to fnd repose; it ia but
ordinary life, plus additional fatigues
and diminished comforts.
Dieppe is q norschaldnte town, a
sleepy hollow for ten months OF the
year, when it rouses up to welcome
che happy or the idle, from France
and England, who come there for a
few days. Just now it is very gay. Il
was the tavorite holiday retreat ofthe
Dacheese de Berri, the mother If The
Comte de Chambord. AT presentit is
under the patronage of the ComJasse
de Paris, whose residence, the Ora
tesu de Eu, is in the vicinity. Visi.
tors ought to arrange to view this
magnificent castle, the headquarters
OF the Orle&nist princes. In the pc.
ture gallery is to be eeen an admira.
bic portrait OF Queen Victoria, painted
over forty years ago in honor of her
visit. Beside it hangs the famous
picture of Jeanne dare. The Salon
Victoria, named after the illustrious
guest, is very beautiful.
The Comte de Chsmbord, who
appears to be next to out.of-danger,
has been called the ''cbili of mira
cle," because be was born seven
months after his fathers assassination
and thus gave hopes for preserving
the elder Bourbon branch from dying
oct. The Comte de Paris, Whose
father, the Duo d'Orleans and des-
tined to become as popular q sover-
eign as Henri w, was the victim OF
q carriage accident, has still stronger
claims to be regarded as a "child OF q
miracle" One Gay wnen Louis
Philippe was driving in his carrisge
with the queen, and the widowed
Duchesse d'Orleane and her baby the
Oomte de Paris, bridge gave way
under the vehicle, and on the edge
OF a chasm, The King at once seized
the baby count, the Dauphin in fact,
and threw him into the apron of q
country woman; the other occupants
were commanded by the King not to
move, lest the vehicle might toppls
over till the horses we're extricated.
The government has won a tre-
mendous success by the Senate voting
the judicial reform bill. The minis
ter OF Justice has now the power to
remove and replace all the judges,
some 700, within the course of three
months. It may be accepted that
not a Rhadamanthus holding anti
republican views will be retained.
The only wonder is they have been
continued so long. If royalty or
Bonapsrtism came into power, they
would as usual make clean sweep
of the bench, which appears to be
thus political, rather than judicial.
Greater calmness characterizes all
foreign questions. We are waiting
for more light from Madagascar,
Tonkin and the Congo. Egypt is still
the sore point. and the cause of the
outburst OF the old Adam against
England, whom the French will
never forgive for doing what they
declined to do. But We never pardon
those We wrong, The Suez canal
question is momentarily in the dol
drums; the Chauvinists still accuse
England OF spreading the onolera
rather than lessen her greed forgain,
forgetting that the gamers might bs
the first to loose. M. We'll. a sort of
spasmodic journalist, will give odds

the Austro-German alliance.
