TUESDAY MORNING. DEC. 1.1, 1860
UEEAI' HOUSES FOR THE PEOPLE
The French correspondent of the Boston
Traveler thus describes, in his last letter, the
life of the tenants of the cheap cottages so
numerous in the pretty villages that. cluster
iroond Paris:
j Bot the French have so innate an aversion
for over-ything rural, that they fly even this
modified rusticity if ever they get a. chance to
do so. Paris is the pole star to which their
hearts incessantly turn. Each boy longs to go
to Toris and “ make himself a Monsieur." Girls
burn to become I’driaiemws. Paris is their
Golconda and Araby, where diamonds and gold
ring. perfumed atmosphere are the heritage of
everybody. When a lad or a lass has once
lived in Paris, there is no getting them home
again to the country. They prefer want in
the capital to plenty in the country ; and this
not only because they delight in the animation
which reigns here, and the company always to
be found here, but because they are persuaded
they shall turn up, a. little sooner or a little
later, a. fortune—that is, what they think a
fortune; a. petty shop, or a petty office in
some joint stock company or under government.
Success almost always comes to crown their
hopes with fruition. Pretty eyes and rosy
cheeks, worn by the other sex, never fail to
command fortune.
This aversion for the country may be detected
easily in the villages around Paris. The ex
cessive rates of rent now obtained in Paris
have given a. singular vogue to the innumera
ble villages which breach the environs of "the
capital’with their gay white walls. A great
many of them are beautiful, either by reason
of the extensive view they command from their
lofty hills, which lord it over the whole horizon
-an extensive one—or by their being embow
eredin some forest full of old trees and de—
lightful vistas, or by being laved by some
broad, clear pond. All of them are cheap.—
Thc government has (loner and is doing, its
best to attract the people of Paris to them, not
only as a means of carrying wealth to the coun
try, but as a. means of assuring public eon
tentment by disseminating cheap living. This
latter design is, in a measure, frustrated by
the gregarious habits of the people. They will
persist. in climbing stair-cases and living on
“ flats” even in the country; this necessarily
interdiots the garden, orchard, cow and poultry
yard, which play so beneficial a part‘dn'the
household of the middle classes. In these
houses you have neither town nor country.
They have (apart from the rate of rent) the in
convenience of both. Each tenant (although
there is no such thing as “ scraping acquaint—
ance” allowed by custom, which reigns with
urban tyranny there) knows everything about
his neighbor and everything that takes place
in his neighbor‘s suit of rooms. The walls
are far from making any pretention to city‘s
solidity, and allow one not only to hear a. great
many things said and done in a neighbor’s
room, but their thinness constrains everybody
'fnslifiime roof to ayoid that freedom from all
Liam if; 3:lls:ll!Préiuwtmkmd a
Gayety is interdicted, company must no hair
ceived only in limited number, there can be no
smoking, no loncl talking, no late, boisterous
hours kept. The garden is common to all the
tenants, but it is so small and there is so little
shade in it, if one tenant is in the garden all
the others keep away, as there is really no el
bow room for two in it. Not a leaf, much less
aflower or fruit, can be plucked in it. The
tenants are expected to dress as much to walk
in the garden as if they were at Baden or
Trout-ville; and it is not unusual for ladies to
wait all the morning in their room because their
hair-dresser has not come. They dare not
breathe the morning air unless their hair has.
been dressed by their hair-dresser.
But despite all these disagreeable things, one
enjoys the buzz of company around him, one
may persuade himself he is still in the city——
and these are the pleasures the French find in
the villages around Paris. A good many of the
cottages are even let as furnished lodgings, but
these are commonly rented for the summer
season. It frequently happens that the owner
of the cottage occupies the fourth floor, and he
himself is the ledger. These landlords are
sometimes bachelors or childless husbands,
who are independent of fortune, and hire out
a. portion of their house simply for the sake of
company. It occasionally happens that there
are eccentric persons who only let their rooms
upon whimsical conditions—such as the right,
in addition to the rent, (which is, of course,
proportionably diminished therefor,) to dine,
and spend one evening each week with the
tenant—and they contrive to have as many
tenants as there are days in the week, so that
they may have employment from Sunday till
Saturday, both inclusive.
I have heard of another who fed his tenants.
He was, as it seems, it retired tradesmen who
had made a large fortune. His ambition in
this way being gratified, a new ambition awoke
within him, and its object was to go into “com
pany.” As he had no acquaintances in society,
it was a very difficult task for him to achieve,
and,‘of a truth, he could hit (and you may be
sure he long beat his invention) upon no other
way of reaching his end, than by purchasing :1
beautiful villa in some village frequented by
people of fashion, furnishing it sumptuously,
hiring a good cook, and buying a good cellar
of wines. This done he advertised for tenants.
They come. He let his rooms cheap and
boarded his tenants at reasonable terms; in
which wnyhe was sure of breakfasting and
dining with persons in good society every day
for six months in the year. He is very properly
contented. with his success, and his old ao
quaintnnces have pretended to discover upon
his manners and conversation something of the
varnish of the fashionable world. I do not
know whether he has any tincture of letters
which may have made him the more readily
contented with his fortune by suggesting the
names of a, great many favorites of the ancient
gods, Whose year was divided into portions
equal in respect of time and unequal in degree
of bliss. '
Sosrsxsxoxs as THE BANK on Excuse—The
Bank of England has suspended specie pay
ments three times since the American Revolu
tion, namely, in February, 1797 ; October,
1847, and November, 1857. The first of these
Suspensions was continued twenty-six yea”:
although at the time it occurred it was regarded
as a temporary measure. The bank was j‘mfr
years making preparations to resume specie
payments, and even then the change from 3
paper to a. specie basis had on injurious 01'1“th
upon many of the great interests of the king"
dom. It is instructive, at this distance of more
than two generations from this measure of the
Privy Council of Great Brit-ion: to s°? whet
reasons were given at the time f“ ”“5 bold
and novel movement. They were .9‘5 follows:
1. That the Bank could not continpe'lts d_lscounts
and its payments in specie, and If its discounts
Were stopped or greatly reduced, the commerce
of the country would be destroyed; 2. That
the credit of the Government would be lost if i
the Bank should cease to make advances on its
taxes; 3. That specie payments were of no
benefit to England, as the specie, on being
drawn from the Bank, went abroad; 4. That it
was more important that the Bank should exist
than that it should meet its payments at the
expense of its existence; 5. Thatthe commer
cial arrangements, combinations and relations
existing in the kingdom would be broken up by
the dissolution of this institution, and being
once broken up, could never be renewed ; and
3. That it was better to stop specie payments
while specie and bullion could be kept in the
counlry by that means.
When the charter of the Bank was renewed
in 1844, Sir Robert I‘eel thought he had ar
ranged against another suspension of specie
payments by the national institution, but two
have taken place in the sixteen yeat‘s which
have passed since the Parliamentary Act. was
prepared by the Prime Minister, and at the
time of the last suspension the financial posi
tion of the Bank was critical in the extreme.
The whole history of the Bank of England
shows that no stozesmanship can place such an
institution beyond the reach of those financial
panics and revulsions which are always liable
to occur in the commercial world. Many wri
ters over that Sir Robert Peel did not fully ap
prehend the real cause of the difficulties he
tried to remedy, and that his legal restrictions
were applied to the wrong department- of the
Bank. Certain it is that the fluctuations he
sought to control have never been more violent
in Great. Britian than since the passage of the
Bank Act of 1844. '
CALIFORNiA TWENTY YEARS AGO,
AND NOW.
We clip the following paragraph from the
San Francisco Weekly Mirror, as giving some
idea. of the wonderful progress in that won~
derful country during the last twenty years:
“It must be a. source of great delight to a
man like John A. Suttcr to look back upon a
useful and well—spent life, and reflect that the
creation and elevation to power of a. large and
prosperous State is, in a. large measure, due to
his own disinterested exert-ions in a field where
few except the most hardy would have dared
to follow him. Le>s than twenty years ago, an
old Captain of Napoleon’s Swiss Guard, disap
pointed with his prospects as a soldier of for
tune, conceived the idea. of establishing him—
self in the solitudes of the vast North Ameri
can wilderness, of which then less was known
than of the interior of Africa at the present
day.
“ Whether any idea. had as yet entered his
brain with regard to the prospective greatness
of the country be was adopting for his home
is uncertain, but the old hero must have. re
ceived some authentic information respecting
its capacities, or he would not thus have en
tombed himself~for at that time the chief
visitors at Sutter’s Fort were trappers sud
Indian traders, or the savages themselves,
whose uncouth ways must have nfl’ered a broad
contrast to the refinements of that society from
which he had voluntarily exiled himself. That
he did not seek the new country from any
misanthropic desire to shun the world and live
the life of a recluse, is evident from the assi
duity with which he cultivated his form. and
the enterprise he manifested in all his business
transsetions. lle surrounded his buildings

first exploring party, partook of his hospitality.
“It seems unaccountable that such u land
could remain for so many centuries almost
unknown and unexplored, especially when we
consider that it had fallen to the share of the
Spaniard, whose favorite evocation was hunting
for gold. Where these millions of acres of
fertile soil lay glistening in the sun, oyerrun
by herds of stock as wild as those of the prai
ries, and abounding with game, hundreds of
treasure-yielding mines and productive forms
reward the lsborer’s toil. The tract alone, Les
Maripesas, now owned by Col. Fremont, yield
ed, a short time since, as the result of eight
days’ working, over eighteen thousand dollars
——when his eyes first surveyed it, nothing more
than a barren wilderness—and a million head
of cattle swarm upon our plains and pastures.
To be the pioneer in such a movement. and to
watch the rapid development of such an empire,
is worth more than all the glories that can fall
to the lot of soldier orstutesman." .
The sense print gives the following pam
gmph respecting
COL. rnnmosr’s rnosnncnvn WEALTH.
It is not, we believe, generally known how
extensive are the Works on the Fremont estate.
To give an idea, then, we will state that there
are seven qua-rl7. mills steadily at. work there.
There is the “ Large Benton (water) Mill,”
with 48 atampers, that. crushes 74 tons of rock
per day ; the “ Small Benton (water) Mill,” of
16 stamps, crushing 22 tons per day; the
“Mount Ophir (steam) Mill," of 24 stamps,
crushing 30 tons per day ;' the “Guadeloupe
(steam) Mill,” of 18 stamps, crushing 20 tons
per day; the “Princeton (steam) Mill,” of 12
stamps, crushing 14 tons per day; the “Bear
Valley (steam) Mill,” of 8 stumps, crushing 14
tons per clay ; and the “ Agun Fria (steam)
Mill,” of 6 stamps, crushing 10 tons per day.
The average yield of these mills recently was
over $340 per day each, over $2,800 per day
colleetively, and nearly $19,000 for every Bight
days’ run. The last eight days’ product
reached $18,996.31, in gold bars, which arrived
in this city on Monday last, consigned to Marl:
Brnmagim 8; (30., bankers. The gold, we un
derstand, is pretty evenly distributed through
out the quartz, so that there is no likelihood
of much fluctuation in the yield. At this
rate the Colonel will be entirely clear of all
his complications in the course of two or three
months, and then he will commence to realize
near a million of dollars per annum! 01', COlmt'
ing it at that rate exactly, $2,575.34 every day
of the year! ' No man better deserves fortune.

is no fear of death amongst them, though they
have a character for cowardice. It. is true they
have the relics of the dead constantly before

and in many places about Shanghai the cofiins
are openly exposed in the fields. They are even
kept in the houses until a propitious clay arrives
for the burial, months passing by sometimes

is decayed, the bones are 'careruny gathered;

Who is there who desires to appear to his
fellow creatures precisely what. he is? I have
known such people and admired Ihem, for they
are comparatively few. Why does Mr. Smith,
when some hundrds of miles from home. talk
Of his place in the country? In the. etymolc
gieal sense of the words it certainly is a place
in the country, for it. is a seedy one-storied cot
tage without a. tree near it, standing bleakly on
a hill~sidc. But aplacc in the country sug
gests to the mind long avenues, great shrub
beries, extensive green-houses, fine conserva
tories, lots of horses, abundance of servants;
and that is the picture which Mr. Smith desires
to call up before the mind’s eye of those whom
he addresses.
When Mr. Robinson talks with dignity about
the political discussions which take place in
his servonts’ hall, the impression conveyed is
that Robinson has a. vast establishment of do
mestics. A vision rises of ancient retainers,
of a. dignified housekeeper, of o bishop—like
butler, of Jeamses withoutnumber, of unstinteti
October. A man of strong imagination may
even think of huntsmon, falconere, couriers—
of a grand boronial 7ncnagr,' in feet. You
would not think that Robinson’s establishment
consists of cook, a housemnid and a stable-boy.
Very well for the fellow too ; but why will he

When Mr. Jones told me the other day that
semething or other happened to him when he
was going out “to the stables to look at the
horses,” I naturally thought, us one fond of
horse flesh, that it would be a fine sight to see
Jones’ stables. as he called them. I thought of
three handsome carriage horses sixteen hands
high, a pair of pretty ponies for his wife to
drive, some hunters, beauties to look at anti
tremendous fellows to go. The words user! might
even have justified the supposition of two or
three race horses, and several lads with remark—
ably long jackets walking about the yard. I.
was filled with fury When I learned that Jonea'
horses consisted of a large hrougham horse,
broken winded, and a. sparined pony.
I have known a man who had a couple of

“How sad it is," said Mrs. Jenkins to me the

of which Mrs. Jenkins had lalely become a.
member, Jenkins having retired from the hard—
ware line and bought-e. small tract. of quagmire.
