whore rnrls Excels London.

There are some things that the French
do infinitely better han tho English,
and one OF them is the establishment
of their capital city. No absolute reason
exists why London should not be as
cheerful and beautiful rs Paris. The
difference in climate is small, and it is
not wholly to the advantage Of the
French metropolis. And if money be a
consideration there is quite as much Of
that commodity in London as in Paris.
Some statistics, however, which have
just been published throw an interest
