OUR PARIS LETTER
(From our regnlnr correspondent.)
PARIS, Sept. 19th, 1878.
If a guide, living or printed, bt
minimi t.o introduce a visitor, ou
his first entrance to the Champ de
Mars, to the contents of the simple
ii!d admirahly planned building
there, such aid'is much more neces
sary in the case of the outlying por
tions of the grounds. They form
mighty maze, though not without a
plan.
Entering by tlie Porte de Grenelle,
.opposite the railway station, xm the
right hand are the British annexes,
and behind that beautiful lake and
the broad expanse of grass, trees,
shrubs, and flowerbeds that surround
itall now luxuriously in bloom
directly facing the visitor. The
grounds I propose to sketch occupy
all the space between that lake, or
rather the two lakes, for there is
one on each side of the grounds and
the river.
Close to the gate referred to is a
very small building which belongs to
a plielanthropic society. This so
ciety supplies the maimed with arti
ficial arms and other coutrivances,
and one or more persons may be
seen working here with the aid of
these novel limbs. There is always
a crowd around this little pavilion,
and many are the francs that find
their way into the box in the front.
Next to this is a similar exhibition,
but on an infinitely larger scale,
where may be seen the ambulances
and the hundred contrivances which
science and engenuifcy have created
to mitigate the horrors of war as
much as possible. The now famous
red cross surmounts the building.
Opposite to the society's sheds is
the Spanish Pavilon, having a very
line collection of specimens of the
produce of the forests of the Pyre
nees on this side, and at the further
end a handsome entrance under a
grand portico. Within, a curious
sight presents itselfthe visitor sees
an architectural screen and well
turned arches, noble columns, a lof
ty ceiling, glittering like that of the
Palace of Ispahan, a transept, one
side'of which reflects the other, more
columns covered with brilliant sta
tactitcs, and in the distance a noble
painted glass window. The glass is
real, but the color is that of the
wine of Xeres and Malaga, of lique
urs, and of essences. The pillars,
the arches, the brilliant ceiling and
window are all formed of bottles full
or empty the corks and capsules are
also pressed into the service. This
pavilion presents the most remark
able example of commercial decora
tion. that I have ever seen. It .has
been carried throughout with such
skill, that it calls forth exclamations
if surprise from every new visitor.
Apart from the decorative part, the
whole of the rich but little-worked
treasures of Spanish soil-coal, ores
and minerals of all kinds, as well as
agricultural produceare exhibited
in the most effective manner. Leav
ing the building by an opposite door,
facing the lake, is found the rushes
and eanes of Phillippine Islands,
timber and casks, fibres and rope,
arranged with the same skill as the
bottles within the building. Oppo
site the door in question is a kiosk
for the sate of the famous produc
tions of ifSvaiiiia, from the most de
licate little cigarette to the lordly ci
gar, wrapped each in it's mettallic
coating, and costing as ranch as a
good dinner.
Near at hand is the exhibition of
the little principality of Monaco,
surrounded with palms, plantains,,
and other tropical plants and' flow
ers, and glittering in the sunshine.
Within, the central portion is occu
pied by a fountain of a peculiar char
acter the bottom is composed of de
corative tiles, forming a large square
basin, with a depth of two or three
inches of perfectly limpid water,
and out of this leap four pairs of
small jets not above a yard high, but
the water falls back on the hard tiles
with a force which keeps the whole
in constant movement, and creates a
most delicious sense of freshness. In
the centre and towering far above
the little jets is a fine fan-palm in a
great tub. The principal exhibit of
Monaco is decorative earthenware
flower-pots, jardinieres, cache-pots,
and a-hundred little fancy objects
pierced and covered with flowers and
ornamentation of all kinds,not
classic but pretty,not highly artis
tic, but not expensive. There are,
however, many examples of carved
ivory of a very superior character
ornamental work, not figures, a
large oval mirror frame of great
beauty, and many examples of min
ute flower carving of the highest ex
cellence. It is a gay litv,fi'e 1'lnCf1-,1
hiorik
of Monaco.

Opposite is a pretty rustic bridge
formed of well-selected branches with
the bark oh-in painted cast iron! It
is an abomination! enough to spoil
the day for an aesthetical art-critic,
but finds admiration in the eyes of
poor unsophisticated mortals and on
each side, of this bridge, which,
spans the temporary sunken road al
ready mentioned, are English cot
tages, which present a curious con
trast with the neighbors. Of these
cottages one is a model workman's
residence the other a copy of a gar
dener's lodge. One room is a com
fortable common sitting-room, tin
other contains an old fashioned tent
bedstead and more furniture in keep
ing and the white curtains At the
windows, the gay red tiles, the
flowering creepers and other plants
make up a very pretty English pic
ture. By the sight of these is a small
stable, further illustrating Mr. Las
eelles's system. A little further on
is the Belgian Restaurant. Then
comes one of the fifty or more ex
amples of glass-house construction,
ail presenting some feature of novel
ty, such as carying off the drip, or
condensed water, or some peculiarity
in form and a few yards further is
the grand central lawn of the
grounds and the Bridge ot Jena,
which leads to the Trocadero.
The small bridge previously men
tioned, between the English cottage
es, leads to the Quai d' Orsay, the
entire length of which, about two
thousand feet, is given up to the
horticultural classes. It presents a
charming promenade. On the right
hand is a grand fountain surrounded
with lamps, and from it extends a
lawn of the most emerald, surround
ed by a gorgeous border of flowers
of every hue. Here amidst several
glass-houses is one in which M. Lin
den, the famous Belgian horticultur
ist, has a collection of the choicest
and most recently introduced flow
ers, principally such as are known
as foliage plants, ferns &c. whije
another is filled with a splendid col
lection of exotics arranged most ef
fectively by Mr. Wills, of South
Kensington. The sides of the quay
here are occupied by two very long
sheds in which.are collections of
every conceivable machine/ imple
ment, tool, and accessory used by
gardeners and every available cor
ner or slip of ground is brilliant
with flowers. ALPHA.
