OUE SPECIAL EUROPEAN CORRESPON- SABBATH IN PARIS. •* : ' - Paris; June, 2oth/rBjß7. Dear Editor: Let me give you an account of toy Sabbath in Pdris. ■ '■-■'lf., “ i I'started out to find the 'Fifofostant chapel, which was opened here some years since by the American add Foreign Christian Uhiori. ori'the we met carts and wagons, 'some loaded' with stbffei'ciraWii' by Fhtek' hors'es; some“also"loaded With sind, arid some With vegetables, passing filong' the streets. 'Nearly everyA'tore was rip feri; sforeS'sellirig fancy" articles', (and there are- tlioff sands of such in Paris) boot and shoe stores ; srimfe triirimirig rind riiillihefy stores! Large 1 ‘dry goods'stores had all'their windriws opfen', with the finest dressfes, &C'., <hsplayed/!bti£- the doors Wfere cldsfed; though on some the' painters were at work outside. The meat and fruit stores Were all opfen. Srferi with-' large harid-oaitfe filled with chferries, strawberries;' iSci,* were'‘crying' tout their goods as' thfey them ,along : i;he'streets. Others standing* at thfe 1 side walk Were busily 1 en gaged weighing out their cherries to' customers. "The cafes were all open, with many in'en'mnd women sitting around little round 'tables'On the side-Walks, drinking 1 wine; coffee;- &e.; cofek Shops with very nice looking pies and cakes in the win dbws were all doing business. Bread shops, with itoaves'of- bread a yard long i(and'"about' as' thick as : our ten ■ cent twists in ' Philadelphia) iri ' the windows,'Were rill dbingathrivihgbufe'riess. I priced tone of the long loaves onto day—“’Nineteen cents” 'Was the reply. In the afternoon I noticed many of* the larger stOrCS -Were closed, though the 'sirialler ones ■ Were nbt! ••'tie coal arid wood strirfeß, wfere ripen all. day—little shops where they sell wood in short rouiid stieks and teoal by thfe pound, generally to the poorer classes. Men werfe at work tori'‘ scaffolds, building bouses, with the mortar toikerfe l at "Work in- the streets. The cabs; tof 'which 1 there are many thousands' iri Paris; arid, omnibuses, Were, all running just*- SS 1 ton‘ -other days. They have no street' 1 though "the omnibuses ’ are larger than ours formerly Were, arid run crowded inside arid on top.' "On'the road to the Exhibition tbe Crowd tof pfeople arid vehicles of every description was as‘great, and' probably greater; than we had noticed it on Week days. ■ - - : '■ We . found ‘our way to the chapel on Hue de Beri,iri a very good-portion of the city, ribt far from the Arch of ’Triumph and the Champs Elysfeek The church we found to be a. handsome building. The inside was quite tasty. 'Eight cfeiuifins painted to imitate Egyptian' marble, sdgpbrt high Gothic arches forming the ceiling,—Which was painted blue,; —With Handsome stained * glass windows. The congregation Was between four rind five hundred, many of whom Were residents of Paris for longer or shorter periods. 'lff fact, the pastor, Doctor Eldridge, told us afterward that pews Were rented by Parisian residerits elear Hack iri tixe door." The Doctor entered the pub pit in a black silk gown,'and with him Doctor Bellows of New York, also iri blaek gown, who gave us a very good sermon from thfe' text,’ “Be hold, I stand at thfe' door arid knock.” Before the sermon', Dr. Eidridge read a large part of tie Episcopal sfervice, omitting the Litany; and in the . prayer “for bishops arid oiher elergy” insfertirig the words, “ for all miriisters of the gbspfel” iri place of the bishops, also ! after that for the President of ihe United' States * inserting, “and the Empeitor of the French.” Thfetohauts write all handsomely performed by an‘excellent choir, with a fine soprauO'Voice and a capital organ and .'organist.- We hsid hoped to. have heard a plainer .and more.homelike service; particularly, as we saw notices of several, Episcopal services in, [Gng , glish, in Galigaani’s .paper. This paper, by, the ,way, is the only one in, English in Paris, and the -one all .strangers fop.k to for information from America and England. Here also they find noti ces of all that,is going.. on,of interest to strang ers. .Below the notices of the. churches open on Sunday, the notice appears that all the . theatres and circuses in ,the city are open pa,,the same day. Fine concerts too are advertised in the Various little theatres in the gardens of the Champs Elysees where you pay nothing to go in, but. merely sit . down at the tables and buy wine qr coffee, and. listen ,t<a fine .opera music, and * comic, singing, and witness the dancing and other performances, amidst a blaze ..of gas lights, on the-gorgeously fitted up stage,, with splendidly dressed .lacjf performers, and full, orchestra ac-' companiments, all in,the open.air surrounded by trees and slirubberji Near by, among the tjrees, ,are whirligigs,-where hoys , girls for. a few pennies, are,whirled around on Wooden or in boats'whieh.hold five .or six each, and which saiL.up.and down, while they.,whirl around. These ( gardens, aye much fuller on, .Sunday afternoou arid evening than on any other day in the week. Dr. Eldridge informed,us that the church was' prospering finely.; that a debt of §l2 000 in gold bad just been paid off the last Week, that he had a Suuday : scbdor established, and that the 1 week previous," they had ' held a ' Siiridaytochool monthly concert, the, first one'ever held in Baris.' ' They have been using this partial Episbtopal service (four-fifths Episcopal) in the mornings, in ’ order to accommodate the numerous American Episco DENT. t.THE AFRICAN THURSDAJ, AUGUST 8, 1867. - -vy v ,r- 7*~. palians who eome ovfer!
