PARIS.
We have read of it, dreamed of it,
and to-day we see it in all of its glory
and magnifcence, and as we look down
through the miles of shaded avenues
and boulevards, walled up on either
side with architecture as beautiful as
wealth and genius can produce, and
behold the gigantic arches. the statuary
that adorn them and almost every pub
lie and private place, the parks with
their endless roads and winding path
ways, the gardens with their choicest
flowers, the palaces and galleries with
their crowded walls of pictures, the
grandeur of the public buildings and
monuments. the exquisite taste dis
played in dress, then we realize that
Paris is the home of art, for there is
hardly single spot that its fingers
have not touched, and we are not sur
prised that travellers like to visit and
students love to study here. The city
is beautifully located up ON the river
Seine, a stream so peaceful that we do
not wonder that Napoleon wished that
his body might rest near it, and, as we
look down along the shores rich with
the yerdure of early summer, it be-
comes so picturesque that it's gallery
of itself. The Masters for ages have
loved to paint here, and many gems Of
landscape have been taken from the
Seine. In fact, everything appears
superb and lovely, except the morals
of the French people, which to us ap-
pear to be in deplorable condition.
There may not be more sin 10 the
square inch here than in other great
cities, but one thing is obvious-there
are no screens to go around or peep
through; everything is public, and all
can enjoy and endure it. In England
we were reminded that the Sabbath
was a day of rest and worship by the
cessation of business and the pealing
EofTthe church bells, but here we are
'iassured that it is Gods day from the
bands OF. music upon the streets and in
| the parks, and the thousands of people
that throiig the theatres. races and
hundreds of other places of amuse-
ment. Yes, France has fifty-two holi-
days in the year that we know of, and
several others of greater or less i'm

looks as though they were a little
skeptical about the next world, and
were trying to make complete picnic
of this. They are polite, kind-hearted,
and. they tell me, affectionate in an ex-
traordinary degree; in fact, there is no
limit to woman's love, and the men
are more richly endowed than the
ladies. You disconsolate and broken

+ We have used our wheels quite ex
tensively in Paris, the streets being
wide and the city spread over so much
ground, it has been much more conve
nient to get around with them than in
London. We have not had great
deal of trouble with our conversation
as there are many English and Ameri
cans here, and many of the French
/ speak our language. The policemen
have pulled us off from our machines
several times for riding on the streets
where bicycling is forbidden, but we
linnOcently informed them that we
were strangers, and knew nothing of

Great preparations are being made for
the National Fete, which occurs We'd
tuesday, July 14th. It is similar to our
glorious Fourth of July, only they
celebrate on little larger scale. This
seems necessary to distinguish it from
the Sunday picnics, suppose. We
have used a guide here to good adj
vantage. There are many who speak
good English and French, and their
services are 0btainable at a reasonable
rate, and persons visiting this city un-
