are seen on all sides. The Bois de Bou- logne is a beautiful park covering an area of over 2,000 acres. In an enclosed park of the Bois de Boulogne is the: ‘* Jardin @ Acclimatation,’ a botanical and zoological tcarden, combined.

The Pare de Monceaux is a beautiful little place. From it you can see the gilded domes of the Russian Church. It ts a pe- culiar and tasteful edifice inside. The arches have an unusual form. The walls are frescoed and all the floor is carpeted. There are ne pews, and only a few chairs. From the Buttes Chamont you obtain a very fine view of Paris. A few years ago it was used asa place to deposit the rnbbish of the city in ; now it is transformed into a very pretty park. [ts mimic wild- ness, its cascade and its lake, forma great contrast to the busy city viewed from it. We were there on Sunday afternoon. The people were amusing themselyes with sWings, very un-Sanday like music, sitting at little tables, drinking coffee or claret, or walking abont.

We were disappointed in Pere Lachaise Cemete ry. The uray s are literaily eovered with wreaths of *‘immor- telles’ and commen black, bine and white glass beads, producing a most frivolous and the graves have little chapels over them ; through the grat- ing in the door you can see a little aitar 'with Crucifix, candles, etc., and before the altar achair to kneel on. [tis said that the mourners often go to these little chapels to pray for the souls of the departed. They are large enough to admit only one person.

The street Rue de la Roquette, leading to the cemetery, is lined with the Afeliers of funeral statuary and shops where beads and immortelles are sold to adorn the tombs.

Among the numerous churches the most noteworthy are the beautiful Sainte Chapelle, used only once a year,—-at the re-opening of the courts. There are two chapels, one above the other. The upper one is re- markable for its elegance ; nearly the whole

trashy effect. Many of

of the wall is filled in with magnificent stained glass windows, arranged so as to to soften and = subdue the light, producing a rich and — harmonions effect. It is one of the most

beautiful Gothic sanctuaries in Europe. The fine old cathedral of Notre Dame, situ- ated on the *‘Ile de la Cite”, is noted for its imposing appearance, as well as for its his- torical interest. It was founded about the middle of the twelfth century, but since that time has un- dergone frequent alterations. In the Sac- risty are relics of martyred Archbishops of Paris, also fragmenis of the ‘*‘ Crown of Thorns” and of the ‘‘ Trve Cross’—a nail of the ‘* True Cross” and other relics taken from Sainte Chappelle.

The Church of St. Eustache, built in the degenerate Gothic style, was commenced in the sixteenth century, and not finished for more than a hundred years. Iis roof is very lofty. Both exteinally and internally it presents a very picturesque appearance. Its organ is second only to that of Notre Dame.

The Pantheon, in the form of a Greek ‘cross, issurmounted with a dome 272 feet ‘in height. It presents a very grand ap- ipearance. In the vaults are the remains of a number of celebrated men, and the tonib ief Voltaire and Rousseau. Their remains ‘were removed secretly, and buried in some ‘unknown place. In these vaults there is a ‘remarkable echo. Our guide stamped his foot on the ground, and it sounded like the 'yoar of cannon. Jn the lantern of the Pan- ‘theon, situated above the dome, a fine view may be obtained; but the 480 steps to climb will, by many, be considered a great draw- back. ;

The ‘* Madeleine,” im the Greek style, is approached hy a broad flight of steps; it is a very fashionable and aristocratic church. | There are a great many other handsome Cc

‘immense sarcophagus, weighing 70 tons. It consists of a single block of porphyry, beau- 'tifully polished. The light from the dome— | 160 feet above—falls in direct rays on the ‘tomb, and heightens the solemn aspect of 'the place. The entrance to the crypt is hat the back of the High Altar. Over the ‘entrance are these words in French, from i the will of the captive Emperor, ‘‘ I desire {that my ashes shall repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the people whom IT 80 dearly loved.”

The Halle Centralles is the great market place of Paris, and when completed it will cover an area of 22 acres. We were sur- pxised to see the sellers pricking poultry, cutting beans,and doing many other things to make a litter which our country people would have done at home.

The Bourse, from 12 until 2, exhibits a scene of unusual animation, numbers cf men wound up to the highest pitch of ex- citement, buying and selling stocks, act more like madmen than yational beings.

The New Opera House occupies a site nearly three acres in cxtent, and between four and five hundred houses were pulled down to make room for this magnificent building,

On the Place de la Bastille, so famous in history, now stands the Columne de Juillet.

The Palais Royale, with its fine shops ; the stately Vendome column; the Are de Triomphe, the ruined Hotel de Ville, the Palais de Justice, the Garden and Palace of the Luxembourg, the Jardin des Plantes and the Stalem and Capucines Boulevards, are always interesting to stranvers,

The panorama of the “Siege of Paris” must not be forgotten. After visiting the Palais de L’Jndustrie, vou cross a garden and enter the hall where the pictures are exhibited ; they are of immense size, and arranged so so as to look like, actual objects. In looking at them the idea of pictures is lost altogether, and you feel as if these ter- rible scenes were being enacted before you,

When we went to Versailles we took the train, traversing the right bank of the Seine, passing Clamart, Mendon, Belleone, Severs, celebrated for its porcelain), and Chaville ; the scenery 18 very pretty all along this road. The station at Versailles is nearly a mile from the Palace, so we had to get into an omnibus which we found waiting. A few minutes brought us to the Court yard of the Palace, which is paved with large rough stones, very trying for tender feet. Ver- sailles, as you know, owes its origin to Louis XIV... The palace and park, Bedeker says, ‘‘cost the treasury the im- mense sum of one thousand million franes, while its annual maintenance aiso involved heavy expenditure: ‘* The accounts hand- ed down to us regarding the erection of this sumptnons palace and the laying out of the grounds almost border on the fabulous. Thus no fewer than 36,000 men and 6,000 horses are said to have been employed at one time in forming the terraces of the gar- den, levelling the park, and constructing a road to it from Paris and an aqueduct from Maintenon.”

The building of the aqueduct was aban- doned; the waterworks of Marly and pounds on the plateau furnish all the water re- quired. The Palace is a quarter of a mile in length; it contains some sPlendid rooms and a great number of paintings, some cf great value and others pcssessing only his- torical interest.

The gardens are laid ont in a very quaint, stiff style, in geometrical precision; but tke goneral appearance of the palace, sheets of water, fountains, orangery, statuary, and two great flights of steps leading to the terrace all harmonize and carry ones thought’s back to the time of the gay monarch.

In the Franco-Prussian war the King cf Prussia made this palace his headquarters, and used part of the building as a hospital. On the 18th January, 1871, King William was here saluted as Emperor of Germany.

Paris looks very gay in the evening. Tle shops are brilliantly lighted, and in front of the numerous cafes little tables and chairs are arranged on the spacious sidewalks, Numbers of people occupy these chairs, talking, smoking and drinking coffee or claret, while gay throngs are continually passing, dressed in “the latest style, and all is bright and lively, the Parisians are such a pleasure-loving people. A friend told us that he would like to live in Paris, but it was a poor place to die in.
