Once more la Tarts, onoe more in the brilliant
Capital of the world, where Joya and pleasures
are certainly more apparent, u not more real,
than In lens favored lands. The land of light
red wine and sparkling wit, where the courtesies
of life are more gracefully tendered, and the
social circles more ready to reoelve the cosmopo.

my years, and speak of It with the enthusiasm
of youth, may I notclaim pardon ? 1 plead the
tact that for yenismy dreams have4een turned

A few weeks ago I Issued from the depot of
the Western Railroad, aud stood again, after the
absence of years, in a once familiar spot. Noth
ing seemed changed but myself. There stood
acar the curbstone the same cabs I had seen
years before, with the m .a blue-coated, red
Tested, glazed-hatted drivers waiting for a pas

a fine gratuity was in prospect. On the oppo
site side of the street restaurants abounded, and
at their doors lounged long white-aproued
waiters, whom I could almost have sworu were
standing in that very place when I took a last
survey of things before entering the curs that

Whem I knew visited me! There wuaTerlot, the
literary man; what a queer character he was! Un
fiauire (liable, if ever there was one so poor, in
fact, that he often slept up a tree near theCham ps
de Mars; but this lact did not prevent hltn
from having a secretary to whom, when he was
flush, he would throw a five-franc piece. Fancy
the effect of such a man speaking grandly of
my secretary!" Then there was Brigot, the crazy
artist, who always spoke of the Immense things
he would do in his profession, but a lazy dis
position enshrouded him like a fog, aud his
great promises were never to be realized. But
whj continue a description of the entire parly?
Suffice to say that a more generous, talented,
amiable, reckless set of Bohemians never ex
isted. But now tliey are scattered, and the pale
violets are if rowing over the graves of muuy of
them.
But, at this point, I hear the reader exclaim,
"Come, come, my friend, do not wax luubri
ous;" and, indeed, I will try not to do so.

Blans, Auslrluns, Wallachians, Chinese, Arabs,

energetic, ubiquitous Yankee:
Enter a caje, and you will think that the work

dinner all languages are fluently spoken but
the Fiench, which is so atrociously tortured
that the one solitary Parisian in the crowd,
who is seated quietly in the corner yonder,
fairly writhes with pain at hearing his ver
nacular so barbarously murdered. Apropos of
the real live Paifelans, you see very little of
them. They are rarities drowned out, one may
Bay, and completely lost amid this congrega
tion of nations. An enterprising Barnum who
would find one, chain him, aud put him in a
cage, might make money by exhibiting aha.
The night before the first of April I visited the
Exhibition. What confusion! a hopeless in
tricacy of Incumbrances scattered aiouud.
Boxes, packages, machinery; ropes, p ilea, in
Short, all the appliances were there to make
confusion worse confounded, and certainly
TWhen I looked thereon I thought that never by
any aaency (save that of the supernatural)
could things be made presentable for tne arrival
of the Imperial Court the next day, Wondrous
to relate, a night had operated fairy. like
changes, and at the appointed time things were
charming; nay, I was about to add, perfect ! It
seemed to me as if the very flowers had giown
to order In the garden in the interior of the
palace, so rapidly did they spring from seeming
decay into llle and beauty,
The avenues, which the day before presented
euch a sad spectacle, were newly sanded, aud
rolled smooth and fiat. Fountains threw their
waters musically in the air, gay colored
streamers floated in the warm atmosphere,
bearing the inscriptions oi the different
nations; could all this change have been effected
by human hands? we ask. The render may
eay yes; but we entertain a private belief that
a brigade of fairies must have assisted lu the
transformation. However this may be, the
Emrjeror and Empress came and made the
nerambulation of the greater part of the build
lmr and although two hours were given to the
task, they did not evince the slightest evidence
of fatigue, but they smiled amiably aud bowed
with the greatest courtesy to an uuin tuetr ae
nurture from the place
in eivlnK theTeader an Idea of the construe
tion of this immense Exposition, we will com
mence with the garden In the very heart of the
rtin;a: here are velvety lawns of verdure,
interspersed, with beauteous little sueets of
water- In the very centre oi mis centre is a
mvsteriouB klosque not yet fi nis lied.
Converging to this central garden are sixteen
avpnuea four of them are of splendid width,
and If they were ooutln uous (the garden la the
utre Drevents them being so) they would
xsross eath other at right aug les. At tlie end of
each of these four Douievaras me principal
entrances are situated-one of which Is L'En,
ree d'llonnCr, aud faces the bridge of Jena.
T.M.nort .ese sixteen straight avenues are

rive at the second circular Intersection, which
Is devoted to the liooral art, viz: printing,
book-binding, drawing,' and modelling, as
applied to the median lo arts, music, photo
graphy, medical art.J geography, etc. etc.
After making the tour of IhU de
partment, you. take the. same means as
before described to reach the third circular
avenue, which is devoted to the display of
household furniture of all nations. How tame
it seems to catalogue, as It were, such marvel
lous beauties as this spoclally oontaius I What
imagination is thore capable of conjuring up
such ideas of brlllia-it fantasy as are actually
realized by what bore we Bee spread out
on either hand ? The next circle (the fourth) hj
devoted to the clothing, and the materials that
enter Into the construction thereor, of all lands
that receive the sun's broad light. Fantastic
caprlclousness, such as here displayed, may be
imagined, but not written. The various colors
and make of matorlal are truly wonderful, aud
bring, as it were, the universe before our eyes
Such poetic costumes ! such ideas of dress ! Of a
verity, one would think their Inventors were
possessed of a splendid madness. After making
the circuit of this department, we again
take one of the straight avenues, and
walk towards the exterior of the building,
until we arrive at what we shall term the fifth
circular avenue ol the Exhibition. Here is to
be found the most wonderful productions of the
vegetable, animal, and iniueral kingdoms.
How shall wo venture to describe the wonders
of. wonders that here abound in limltlea pro
fusion ? The beauteous minerals, torn from the
bosom of mother earth, would call for volumes
of description, and tnon a failure to convey an
idea of what may here be seen would be the
result; and knowing this, we pass on to the
sixth avenue, where we find the maarnlflcont
machinery. Around all passes an extensive
boulevard that will do much to facilitate travel,
aud upon whloh magnificent equipages may be
displayed. Mine, however, I hasten to assure
the reader, will not be seen there; I dislike
ostentation.
There is much that is still unfinished in every
part of this croat world's gathering: but in a
tihort time, sty three weeks from now, there is
every possibility that a most enchanting, ravish
ing, UelighUui , unimaginable lalry laud will be
found upon th-3 Chumps de Mars. With all the
excltejuent that attends an examination of so
many woudro'is and unheard-of displays, we
mustctill confess that it is the people who visit
l'arisar, the present time In whom we are most
interested. Huch varieties of costume, such
ruurked and extraordinary physiognomies, w.-re
Firobably never before seen together, and
n our times will, in all probability, be
never seen again. Poles, Tartars, Kussians
from the Crimen, all, however, sink iu interest
in comparison with our own bright-eyed, sharp
faced Yankees, and the very mehtinr.
of them recalls a serio-comic affair that hap
pened to the well-known Mr. William 11 of
I'hilHdelpbia. TUB g'-atleman in question was
crossing nib . .- - -.er night (or
morning) about i o'ciocu. n.veryiuing arouuu
was dark aud lonely, the plaintive wiud could
be heard moaning arouua tne cuimneys oi me
French Institute, aud the gurgling waters' of
the Heine murmured as an accompaniment.
Our friend was half way across the bridge, when
beobserved a man, who, until then, had been un
observed by him, spring rapidly into the rush
ing river below. fc.xcieu oeyouu expression, nir.
H ran to the railing of the bridge and
shouted, "Man in tho water help! help!'1 His
stentorian cries soon brought two gendarmes
to the spot. Not knowing the language, our
friend could do nothing but cry, "A mau just
in," etc etc , pointing to the waters below. The
policemen did not understand him, thought
him crazy, and finished thematter by escorting
him to the station house as a drunken rowdy.
He passed, as may be imagined, a very unplea
sant night, and it was not until the middle of
the next day that he was released with apolo
gies. Of course, the miserable man who threw
himself into thewaior was never taken out
alive.
"But why all this gossip," says the reader;
and, really, we suppose we ought to apologize
for not keeping lo the great text of the day,
namely, the Exposition. In relation to this I
mav sav. that nothing gives me more true plea
sure lu that immense buzaar than the picture
galleries. There is no mistake about it, the
French school of ai t is the greatest in the
world, aud of that school Oerome is the greatest.
When I think of him an image springs to my
mind, classical and antique beauty that Is a
verv lovto think unon. I mean his figure of
the beauteous Fhryne, as she stands lu all the
simplicity of her glorious form before the tri
bunal. To use the common phrase, we will
say that every schoolboy knows the story of
Fhryne (although we are fully convinced that
very few of them know anything about it).
She was a lovely creature, who for some od'ense
wushummoned to answer before the Areopagus,

had not her advocate seized her flowing drapery,
and with energetic action left her in Eve-like
simplicity. The effect of her beauty was so
wouderiul that sue was unanimously ucquitled.
Gerome has treated this subject with splendid
pov. er, and the sensation that this picture has
created wherever exhibited has been Immense.
In the Exhibition ol 18(12 it aroused an immense
excitement, the girl who posed as model for
the "l'hryue" was well known to the artist.
She was a person of queenly beauty, aud,
by-lbe way, a remarkable singer. Her rendi
tion of Henri Murder's pulhetie ballad of
"I.es Hiroudelles" is well remembered in the
Bohemian world of fails. She died about two
years ego, but has left in (Jerome's masterly
work an immortal souvenir of herself.
The same artist's production or "Ave, Ciesar;
morlturi te salutant." is magnifioent in con
ception and great iu execution. The gladiators
about lo engage wun eacu other in mortal
combat in the arena are passing In review bo
fore their brutal and sensuous master, and
raising their voices they cry with one accord,
"liau, tu'r; me uyiug sarnie ineer- a picture

as large.the idea given of vast perspective could
not have been better. But of what beauties of
art that are here arrayed shall we venture to
speak? The glories of an epoch on every side.
the very contemplation of which overwhelms
the mind with admiration. Look at the speci
mens of Messonler, that wonderful man whose
pictures actually sell for more than twice their
weight in gold. He has received an offer of
thirty thousand uoiiurs lor his last ploture. It
is an exceedingly small production, repre
senting a cavalry charge. The marvellous

oiguy is tne best landscape paiuier in France,

We can now uudersland the reason why
artists find such attraction in a residence In
this capital. The hue arts are so warmly en
couraged, aud the consideration tendered lo
art followers so considerable, that men who
make paluilnii or sculpture a profession must
naturally feel more at home than they would
do in less congenial lands.
In speaking or the rates of living here at the
present time, we would sity that the estimates
made thereof by somn persons lu the Stales are
very much exaggerated. Of oourse, In the Eng
