BROADBRI'S PARIS LET

NO. 28.
How Paris Looks--Communists and Imperial
ists-The Exposition a Success-Looking
Toward the Close, etc., etc.
Paris is in it.s glory ; the great
fashionable world that returned to
us'with the opening of October,
have now become comfortably es
tablished in their homes ; once more
the busy note of preparation for
fetes, ball routes, and receptions,
is heard all along the line, and the
Gilforys, the Malaprops and the
Squilles are anxiously awaiting the
invittions which will bring joy to
their own little souls, and carry
dismay into the camps of their dis
appointed neighbors. Large ap
propriations have been made by
the Government to enable the
different ministers to sustain the
character of the Republic; hospital
iy is a business as well as a pleasure,
for they seem understand that no
one man or a dozen men shouid be
called upon to become the hosts of
a nationa, and that generosity is one
of the sublimest of human virtues,
if you do not have to foot the
bills.
One hundred thousand francs
was the sum appropriated to each
minister to enable him to do the
decent thing, and as one minister
had the misfortune to lose his wife
in the early part of the season,
and being in mourning could not
be expected to entertain,-his hun
dred thcusand francs was returned
to the national treasury, to be
divided pro rata among his brother
ministers, and dispensed in a sort
of average hospitality. In no one
thing has there been greater heart
scalds and disappointments than in
the matter of ministerial invitations
Everybody, who was nobody in
particular at home, seemed to think
that they were somebody in gen
eral when abroad ; and, as a matter
of course, on the occasion of a
ministerial blow-out every legation
in Paris was besieged with appli
cants for invitations. As a general
thing, in less civilized countries,
well-bred people wait till they are
asked ; but in le beau Paris it's the
polite thing to ask for an invitation,
and stick to the fellow till you get
it First yo go to some inflnen
tial person and beg him to inter- b
cede for you, which he promises to h
do, and then forgets all about it; I
as the day approaches you begin to h
grow nervous. Everybody else is a
going and you are about to be left tJ
out in the cold. You fly down to
the legation, but all the invitations
have vanished days before, and s
twice as many were promised as a
were received. As tLe time draws b
near, despair may be seen depicted t1
on hundreds of countenances. One t,
woman looks as though she had Iti
just lost her uncle; and another as y
though her house had been overrun v,
with poor relations. Money is freely ai
offered, bribes are openly promised, ft
and on a recent important recep- ei
tion a very fine lady who figures r(
largely in fashionable society, hav- at
ing failed to procure her invitation t(
through legitimate channels, paid t<
one hundred francs to a footman to tl
smuggle her through a back door, b
and the secret was never found out b
till a couple of honest servants be- al
gan quarreling over the spoils. h
It is now high time to sum up d
the merits and demerits of this a
Great Exposition which these wan- fi
ing October days warn me is rapid- b
ly drawing to a close. Those who t1
have followed me in these letteri it
will doubtless recollect that on my a:
arrival in Paris in April, it was ex- fi
ceedingly doubtful even then if the h
Exhibition would really take place. it
Two mighty factions -the Com- n
munists and Imperialists - were w
sternly arrayed against the Repub- v
lic; threats bitter and deep were b
openly made that no Republican fi
Exhibition should ever take place si
in Paris. Only a few days before si
the opening a band of rioters were m
arrested by the gendarmes shouting t<
for Napoleon and the Empire. It tl
was evident that another coup d'etat t]
was anxiously expected and hoped
for; the result was eagerly can- b
vassed in the little Imperialist b
clubs which are scattered all over ti
Paris, and in the dim prospective M
they could see once more revived s
the faded glories of the Empire. n
All these expectations have been si
doomed to a cruel disappointment, a:
The Exposition has taken place. s1
Instead of a comparative failure, it ca
has been a remarkable success. p
Hundreds of millions have been ii
added to the material wealth of ti
France, and the Republic, after a p
struggle with the man who above ix
all others was suspected and feared, p
has come out scathless from the si
ordeal, and to-day it stands on as w
firm a foundation as any govern- ti
ment in Europe. It is worth while n
noting that while murmurs of dis- o:
content and open attempts at as- h
sassination have shaken Germany ti
to its very center, and while riot
and bloodshed have been rife in the tI
most stable governments of Europe, g
notwithstanding the opposition from si
without and the discordant ele- is
ments within, France has reached a n
degree of national prosperity un- a
equaled by any other country on ti
the face of the earth. This pros- d
perity is not entirely owing to the li
Exposition. She was prosperous ti
before the Exposition commenced, c:
and she was emerging from her ti
disaster when the Empire to which tl
she paid nearly ten thousand mil- o:
lions of francs was experiencing a
such financial ruin as she had never II
known before. For every Exposi- E
tion which France has given she n
has some trophy to show. A me- a:
mento of the first is the Grand e
Palais d'Industrie, on the Champs si
Elysee.. The improvements inaug- vw
urated for the second are seen all ei
along the beautiful avenues and L
boulevards which are now the chief si
glory of Paris, and when the Ex- p
position of 1878 shall have closed, n
for ages to come the splendid a:
palace of the Trocadero will look ti
down upon the Seine, a glorious mon- h
ument to the Congress which gath- I
ered about its banks in this year of a
grace, breathing peace on earth and p
good will to men. a
As nhere is no condition without a
its draw-backs, and as there is no o
evil without its compensation, so 0
this Paris Exposition has had its s'
griefs and its disappointments, and sa
much bad blood and bad language a
have resulted therefrom. I don't a:
know that the average French land- a
lord is worse than any other land- n
lrd, and yet, I think, for good,
soid squar lying, I would back b
im for money against any other
6ndlord in the world. Before the ii
xposition opened the principal I
otel-keepers met in council, and, b
3 reports had been circulated si
iat they were preparing for ex- t]
)rtion, they solemnly pledged si
iemselves that under no circum- ti
,ances would they raise their rates A
franc. The Exposition had not n
een open a week when they raised g
ieir prices twenty per cent. In r(
Yo weeks after they made a fur- ai
ier rise of thirty, and after that p
>ur bill was filled with all sorts of ti
nxatious little charges for towels d
id soap and candles and napkins, r(
r attendance,j and even the gov- T
nment stamp attached to your w
ceipted bill was included in the ti
count. If you ordered a cup of s]
a, they charged you a franc for the p
a and two francs for the loan of ai
to teapot. Extortion and robbery
.came a regular and respectable
asiness; and the Frenchman who
lowed a foreigner to escape from
s clutches without squeezing him
ry was regarded by his fellows as
madman or a fool. One night a
iend of mine stopped on the
>ulevard and inquired his way to
ie opera; the person of whom he w
quired directed him all right, but c
) he turned to leave demanded a b
anc; my friend promptly knocked le
im down; the gendarmes rushed tt
t and arrested him, but when the aE
ztter was explained the foreigner a(
as released, and the Frenchman b
as taken in. In France, lying has f
M
en brought to the perfection of a i1
ae art,and the man who persistently e,
icks to the truth is regarded as a i
)rt of immoral renegade-a fellow s
hose position it would be difficult nt
locate in the -heavens above or b
ie earth beneath or the waters tt
iat are under the earth. ot
While the Peace Congress has
2en shouting hosannah, and has 0
:en prophesying of the blessed M
me when the lion shall lie down e:
ith the lamb, France has been ei
.eadily drilling her battalions, the
emory of the little Corsican still
irvives, and the possibities of
iother Austerlitz and Wagram aree
ill beacon lights to the young re- ft
uits who fill thelranks of the re- ti
ablican army, and notwithstand
g the peace-offerings of 1878,
iere are low rumblings in the s
litical volcano portentous of evil ti
ithe coming time, and the child d

Ethose whose line of succession al
is been unbroken for over a v

As a dislay of industry and art si
le Exposition at Paris has been a
rand success, its benefit have been
iared by all classes, and it is a sat- fi
faction to know that the poor have d
>t been neglected ; provision was
ade for the humblest classes and or
:e great manufacturers in the id
[ifferent departments of the repub- a~
sent their employees to Paris by ~
iosands the government and the t
pitalists seeming to be determined fi,
iat nothing should be lost upon iw
ie people. In awarding the palm '
excellence the task is surrounded ti
ith very little difficulty. In this el
nperial Exhibition-the exhibit of i
ngland stands out with a regal d
tagnificence, which has distanced S
I competition, and which silences
ren the voice of envy, and this ge
preacy was so manifest that it n
as deemed no small honor to sc
ual her in any department. The 1
nited States has come out of the s
ruggle, not only with honor, but it
ofit ; and the orders which her bi
anufacturers have already received, q
:e more them compensation for all a
i trouble and expense of the Ex- b
hition. There is one feeling which a
find general among both English ti
ad Americans, and that is the most
rfect and unqualified satisfaction
the prospect of returning home ; e
ter comparing their own system ly
government and the comforts bl
their own happy homes, they
e nothing that will. compen
te for them abroad. Here p
ad there I have occasionally met et
English man, or an American, b~
ho had become completely de- t
tionalized, but their absence
'ould be no loss to any country,y
at n thcntrary, a positive gain. b
The weather is getting exceed
igly cool, and on several days it squ
as been so cold that people have iag
een talking of ovrcoats and der
Loves. The rush is still at flood, of
ie anxiety to see the great Expo- em I
tion seeming to increase as the sha
me draws near for it to close. The Po
