PARIS LETTER.
PARIS. March 10.

PARIS, March 10.
Despite the electric telegraph,
news travels so slowly from London
to Paris that, with ! believe only
one exception La Reforme-the
morning papers published no tidings
of the terrible occurrence which has
filled every English heart with In
dignation. The evening journals,
however, have made the most ofthe
sensational news, and several appear
with the words Explosion at the
English Parliament" printed in large
letters across the whole front of the
paper. The political horizon has
been so dark in this country for
some little time pasttha yesterdays
outrage in London fails 10 produce
the effect that might have been an
ticipated in less troubled times. The
majority of Frenchmen remark that
England has her irreconcileables IN
the Irish, and that the Government
of Europe will have to combine IN
order to stem the rising tide of in
surrection.
1t is affirmed to-day that the Gov
eminent intends to hold a grand in
ternational exhibition at Paris in
1885.
NJ. Ferdinand de Lesseps left Tu-
mis- yesterday for Gales to join Com
mandaAt Roudaire, to whose scheme
for the. creation of an inland sea in
the Chotts. situated nearthe southern
frontiers of the Regency and Alge-
ria, he has all along given the warm
est encouragement. The party is
about to proceed by way of Kriz,
Aslondje, and Ell Feidh to Biskra,
and after a careful examination of
the country, NJ. de Lesseps will pro-
nounce a definite opinion as to the
feasibility of a project which Com
mandant Roudaire has always MAIN
tanned to be practicable.
NJ. Crews little granddaughter,
Marguerite Wilson, is to be christen-
ed tomorrow at the Elysee. The
President of the Republic is to be
the god father, and Madame Pelonze,
NJ. Wilson's sister, will o~fficiate as
Marianne. The ceremony will be of
a strictly private character, the fam
lily only being permitted to witness
it.
American visitors to Paris will do
well to keep a sharp eye on their be-
longings on arriving at the Northern
Railway station. Baron de Cop
plus, of the Belgian legation, who
arrived yesterday, was robbed OF a
dressing case containing jewelry,
which he had left in a cab for only
a couple of minutes while looking
for his other luggage.
The following extraordinary pla-
card in manuscript, probably the
work of a practical joker, was dis
covered this morning affixed to sew
eral houses in the Rue Mont Marbre
and on the Boulevard des ltaliens;
"Onicers and soldiers, Mount Aven-
tine is moving A hundred thou
sand men, led by the young and
proud nobility of France, are ready
to descend from the heights. The
white flag and the red flag, with
golden lilies, viii unite to drive
away from our assemblies the pack
of chatterers who grow fat at the ex-
pense of the productive classes, and
the Jews, so-called magistrates, who
prostitute justice. If a traitor tells
you to fire on the people refuse to
obey, for in complying you will be
shedding the purest blood in France.
Look quietly on and shout give la
Patrie |" The work will be short,
comrades and soldiers. When it is
over we will join in fraternal har'
mony for the welfare and salvation
of France"
We are already blessed with a su'
perabundance of "emblems" in thi:
country, but as IN inglorious device
/ the combination of the blood rec
|; flag of the Commune with the gold
| en- lilies of the Bourbon family vii
: prove difficult to beat.
