whether under king, emperor, con-
vention or republic, it IS all the
same. The wonder is that the
patient survives.
Lent has opened with fine
weather. Of course we have no
carnival, save the usual cruelty OF
dressing up little children in fancy
costumes and promenading them
through the streets, exposed TO east
erly winds with an undertakers
bill in each gust. Big persons
sport false noses. which is change
rather than a novelty. The adver-
Using vans were less numerous than
formerly. There are no formal
cOInminatory services on Ash
Wednesday here, perhaps owing to
the circumstance that it is kind of
devotion practised daily, in private
as we'll as public.
Now that the latest political Incl
dent has cooled down somewhat, the
rogues conclude they demand at
teation. A band of some twenty
thieves was captured in chapel on
the BOulevarde St.Germain they en-
tered the building, made themselves
at home with the good things OF life
they had stolen; some were arrested
in the cOnfessionals eating and
drinking; others in the stalls were
smoking after their square meal,
and a few were in the organ loft
fast asleep. A lady of uncertain
age at Montmartrel having come IN
for windfall Of railway scrip, was
| deemed at once to be insane by
| coVetOus relatives. In full noon day
four men entered her room, put
strait-jacket on her, pushed her into
cab, and conveyed her to some asy-
lum; the neighbors attest that she
was perfectly sane. The money
changers in this city as class are
not like Caesars wife, they have an
ugly habit of making excursion
trips outside of France, and what
their client feel most acutely, for
getting to come back. At present
quite an epidemic has set in for
! breaking open the safes in such Of
fees. The front door is entered by
a false key, the safe burst, the loot
bagged, and the Office door as closely
shut as ever. Two more of these
robberies have just been COM
mitted. The well-known organ

to apply to the courts for personal
grievance. st. Cloud is a garrison
town, and the chief cafe is the club

came to see her occasionally, when
she made the acquaintance of a
handsome captain of dragons. Gaze
gave his wife to understand one
morning that he was about execut-

some duration. The same night he
returned, land with police inspector
found the Captain IA ftagrG7ltG de

his wife. The captain unaware she
was married was only fined fir.

Monsieur drinks no more national
wine but drugged beer, Yarmouth,
sherry and Marsha, that
never witnessed the outskirts Of
the city; he is hence muddled
and melancholy. Bars and beer sa-
looms are usurp:ng the convenient
cafes. Similarly as in the restau-
rants, foreign are eXpelling home
dishes; the Windows are full of roast
beef: for soups, there is the Russian
muschY; Italy monOpolizes laZagneS
and Tagliarini; Hungry gullash;
Spain ALA podrida, and Syria chebs-
kibba. In the shops pate defoje graS
has become a vulgar aliment; 1t is
replaced with reindeer tongues and
caviar from Astrikan; preserved
feras from the lake of Geneva and
SausageS from EStramadura. The
beer shops are more dirty than those
of Vaterland; we have the kneipS,
but not the hotbraenhaus. King
Gambrinus has dethroned Bacchus;
beer has cut out Burgundy and Bor-
deauX.
In the new club opened at War

cards, or exchange blows with bill
lard cues; above all, not to use the
curtains as pocket handkerchiefs.
