THE FRENCH PEOPLE'S PALACES. * (iraco Greenwood * writes from Paris to the New York Zimes: -*Tho old palace grounds now all belong to the poople, and noazly all the palaces. It is strange to see what a motley democratic crowd invades that palace of palaces at Verssilles on o pleasant Sunday of the snmmer or autumn. Donnes, children, grisettes, workmen, private scldiers, Awmericaa tourists. throng np the magnificent stairway, from the upper-landing of which Louis XIV. made his famous specch to the grent Conde. 1t is enmough to oust the ghost of tho grand monarqua froin his wighty chatenn—under whose roof shame [easted equally with hooor, aod desth was tbo wastor of the rovuly, and revolution and royalty wore rocked 1a the eameo gilded cradle.

DANCING ON SKATES. 1 Writiog from Brightou, Dec. 17, n correspond- ent of the London Daily News saye: **Skating on wheels, advancing by leaps and bounds, like the commercial prosperity of Great Britain un- dor the admivistration of Mr. Gladstone, has now reachod o state of perfection at which skating merges into denciv.7, and a skatingparty becomes a ball. Sach 2n entertainment was given bere last night by some of the officers of the Scots Groys, stationed at the Proston bar- racks. Cavds were issued for a dance, the ball- room being the grand rink in West streot, under tho diroction of Ar. Mellison, Thisis a eplen- did building, formerly., I believe, a concert-hsli, and now admirably adapted for the purposes to which it bas been devoted, baving a fino etretch of asphalt coversl in by a lofty sud well-ventilated roof. Eight o'clock was the bour montioned for the bull to commence, aud shortly after that time the couipany began to assemble. Mornipg-dress wae, of course, worn, no roller-skate and no style of skating yet hav- ing been invented which would maks it possiblo tocut the outside odge, croes, or go backward in the graceful but inconvenient trailing skirt with which ozdinary dancing 14 moze or lexs suc- cessfully mansgad. But nevertheless ths scena was a pretty and animated with the many- colorod dresses, heasonably trimmad with fur, the eancy Rubeus hat, aud hete uud there that ghost of a long-cead past, the coal-scuttle bon- net, About 250 iuvitations had been issued, "and there were present a company not far short of that wumber.
