| The cooking for Parls Is nosliy cone DY nleu:-


You win see, therefore, that in this exchanging


OF work, the gentler sex get decided advantage
| We took lodgings, upon our arrival in Pans at


the Hotel hieurice, in the Rue de RlVoli'
fronting the Garden of the Tuilleres. Inns is'


perhaps. the best Hotel in Paris, and is so Inuch
| frecuented by English and Americans tnat lfe
| most of the servants speak English. " sal
| down to dinner there at the Table d'hote, win
about hundred ladies' and gentlemen. Inc Ia


ble furniture and ornaments were similar 10 lhose
| At the Astor House, and the course and dlshes,
though differently served, were IN many respects


the same as we get there. With the exception OF


sou,s. Of which we had here hall dozen differ
ent kinds there are greater variety Of meats and
more dishes and delicacles to be found upon the
Astor House table, every day, than you get at


the most expensive and fashionable dinners In


Paris. But the ostentatious manner of serving


dinners here gives to them an appearance Of va


rietv and profusion which is artistic and unreal.


But there is one feature in the culinary system OF


Paris with which | am delighted, Their meats


are all well done There is no Cannibalism


here. Your roast beef, your boiled mutton, your


game, &C., when carved, do not look as if they


came directly from the shambes.


Immediately after we were set down at Meu-


rices strolled into the Garden of the Tuillerles,


where thousands Of people were quietly enjoying


It's grateful shade and delicate air. Some walked


upon its terraces, around its fountains its flow


er BEDS while others sat in its arbors under its


trees. Children, IN Joyous groups were at their


gambols under the eye Of their GoVernesses


bellies with galants in large mustaches, were pro-


menading; young ladies IN great numbers were
entaged with their needle-work; while old ladies


without number were fondling their lap-dogs.-


In other parts Of the garden numerous families Of


the humber class were sitting under trees, and


cheerlully partaking Of their frugal repast-bread


and wine.


The Garden Of the Tuileres contains 81 acres,
and is situated upon the north bank Of the Seine
fronting the Palace of the Tuilleries on the East,
and the Place de la Concorde on the West. Near
the Palace are two insular flower gardens. An
abundant and refreshing foliage is furnished by
groves Of large chesnut, elm, orange, and lime
trees, ntcrspersed in all directions with statues.
Chairs arc found all about the garden, for the use
of which you pay two sous. On Sunday after
Moons, when the weather Is warm, the garden
frequently exhibits dense mass of people
Among the satuary are figures of Prometheus,
Alexander, 1heseus, Cincinnatus, Spartacus,
Themstocles, Diana, Flora, Venus, &c. In the
summer the Garden is open from A. NJ. until
in the Evening. when guards, by beat Of the
drum, warn the visitors out and close the gates.


Adjoining the Garden of the Tuilleries is the
Place de la Concordc. This is point Of far
greater and more thrilling historical interest than
any other in Paris. The name which it now
bears, not less than the quiet grace and beauty
with which it has been adorned, seems designed to
eace as far as possible, the horrors of its bloody
history. 1t is situated between the Garden of the
Tuieries and the Champs Eysees, and looks out
10 the West upon the Madeleine Church, and to
The East upon the Chamber of Deputies, on the
light of which is also seen the magnificent Dome
9f the Hospital of Invalids The prominent fea-
ure of the Place de la Concorde is the magnih-
cent Obelisk erected 1850 years before Christ, in
ront of the Temple of Thebes which, with Cleo
oatras Needles, were presented to the French
Government by the Viceroy of Egypt. Eight
hundred men, under the direction of French En-
yineers, were employed three months in removing
hese enormous presents from their original po-
;tions to the Nile, where they were shipped in a
lat-bottomed vessel built to receive them. The
0belsk reached Paris in 1893, but was not ele-
Family and an immense multitude of the French.
The Obelisk, as dug from the Egyptian quarry,
S 70 feet in hight, and weighs 5O0,00Olbs. 1t
stands upon plinth of granite weighing 100000
bs which, with the pedestal, is % feet high, and
orms ofpedestal, plinth and obelish, column 100
eet high. The removal of this obelisk from
Thebes and its erection upon the Place de la
Concorde cost the French Government over two
Millions Of francs, or more than 100000.


Bu. quiet and beautiful as the Palace de la
Concorde is, there are thousands yet living in
Paris who have seen several heads and lifeless
bodies swimming in their own blood, where all is
now so spacifc that lambs may play and doves
in honor of the Marriage Of Louis XVI. some
panic and rush ensued, during which 1900 per-
King and Queen Louis XVI. and Marie Anto-
nette) were beheaded upon the spot where their
nuptials had been so fatally celebrated. In July
1889, the People of Paris assembled here prepara-
tory to their triumphant rush upon the Bastllle.
Here, in addition TO the King and Queen, the
Duke of Orleans Brisset Herbert, Danton, Des-
moulins, Anacharsis Clootz, Robespicrre, Dumas,
st. Just, Cothion, Elizabeth, sister of Louis
XVI the Wives Desmoulin, Herbert, &c. &C.,
with hundreds Of their followers, were brought to
the block. In less than a year and a half, nearly
5000 persons were beheaded upon this memorable
spot. In contemplating these horrors, 1t IS con-
soling to reflect upon the retrlbutive vengeance
with which the Monsters were themselves visited.
There is certainly much of that wisdom and JUS
tice which is higher than man, in the Providence
that brought the heads of Danton, Herbert, Du-
mas, Robespierre, &c, to the GuilIotine that was
drenched and gorged with the blood of their
victims.
