Rents In London and Paris.

Some interesting figures concerning
house rent in London and Paris have
recently been published in LIE Journal
des Debats. 1t appears that in Paris its
population of 1850, 900 pays nearly as
much rent as London, with twice the
number of inhabitants. The 1880, 900
Parisians have only SO, 900 dwellings
to live in, while the number of houses
that the 5000, 600 Londoners occupy is
nearly ten times as many. In Paris,
where the people live in flats, there are
on an average over 270 persons residing
in each house. In London the average
is only seven persons to house. Yet
for much less comfort and space the
Parisians have to pay little short of
double the rent paid by Londoners. The
total annual rent of Paris, says LIE
Journal, is now 775, 900. 900 francs, or
1855, 900, 900, while Londoners, who are
twice the number of Parisians, only pay
$1S5, 900, 900 for far more comfortable
dwelling accommodation. The average
rent paid by Londoners is between $50
and $40, while in Paris it is nearly $40.

A Historians Privilege.

Nine. Novikoff was at a Sunday par
ty at Holland House in the days of its
late mistress, and was seated between
Lord Houghton and Mr.. Kinglake. The
latter observed, in answer to remark
of the Russian lady, that historians
were sometimes very badly treated.
"What do you mean?" asked Mme No
vikoff, rather puzzled. "Well," con-
tinued Kinglake quietly, as if discuss
ing some grave topic, "just take my
case, for example. AS you know, am
supposed to be historian. The other
day | got letter which really touched
me; it was signed by two people, hus-
band and wife, and came from one of
our colonies. They described their grief.
killed in the Crimea. For some incom-
prehensible reason they were most anx-
ious to have their beloved darling men
toned in my history of the Crimean
war. Surprised, but fiattered, Ireplied
by return of post-a thing 1 have not
done for many, many years-that l
would be happy to do my best for their
comfort provided they sent me the
necessary particulars. Again letter
