Paris Correspondence Philadelphia Telegrapk. Itishard to realize that thelast month of winter is commenced, and that 1na very short time we shall be jaunched on the full tide of the Exhibition season. Woe to the Parisians if their great show does not prove a panacea for all the ills, financial or political, of the last seven years. They are looking forward to a liberal invasion of wealthy foreigners; to a golden harvest that is to drop without any ef- fort on their part into thelr very laps; to the transformation of Paris into a veritable Jand of Cocaigne, where the pigs run about ready roast- ed, crying, *Come eat me!” but these appetiz- ing porkers are to be for the consumption of the natives only. The poor travelers are to, get none of them. The new hotel at the corner of the Ruc Castizhone and the Rue de Rivoli (a lovely situation, by-the-by, lookine directly over the arden of the Tuileries), which was. to have ‘been opcned on the 1stof January,is not nearly completed. Theworkmen are busied on it now, Dy night as well as by day, carrying on their operations by the aid of the electric light which brilliantly ilfumimlto’s the whole interior with a vivid whitc lustre, which must be excessively trying to the cyes, notwithstandiug its beauty. 1 “pity the poor individuals who, allured by the freshness, clerance, and delightful gituation of this mew lhotel (the Conti- nental, as it is to be called), wiil consentto take up their abode therein. For it isa well- known fact that tne plastering of French ‘houses requires the beat of one entire summer 10 dry it thoroughly, and the Jperson who chances to oceupy afreshly plastered room prior 10 its undergoing such a drying will be fortunate 1f hic or she escapes with 3 violent cold only. 1 have seen the walls of a French house lterally streaming with wet two mooths after the plastering had becn finished. So thoroughly is this fact recognized that a newly-built apart- ment will rent for much less the year that jt is ready for occupation than is demanded for it afterwards. - Therefore, I would say toull my countrypeople who are intending to visit the Exhibition, beware of newly-built™ hotels and apartments while vou are in Paris. For in their walls Jurk pnenmonia, rheumatism, and a host of other unpleasant maladies, Another picee of advice 4 will give to my fel- Jow-citizens who contemplate a journey to the Exhibition, and that is, should they chance to fall i1l while ju Paris, by no means to send for a French physician. Apart from the great spe- cialists, who are each used to treating their own particular type of malady in patients from all parts of the world, no French doctor under- stands how to deal with an American constitu- tion. The differences in climate, the malarial influences to which many dwellers in the West are subjected, and, aboveall, our almost uni- versal habit of induleing in patent medicines, make the phrsical condition of our people a perfect riddle to the average foreien physician, The French are very fond of treating some maladies, and very se- rious ones at tliat, occasionally, = with draughts of herb tea, or, as they call them, ¢ tisanes.” These act upon the constitation of a_ patient, a’;uswmcd 10 quinine and caiomel about as much as so much hot water would do. 1 have known of at least twwo cases wherein an American patient so treated quietly departed his Ife, killed, as [ doubt not, by literal lack of medical aid. One of these cases was ase- ~vere attack of pneumonia, which, being treated with berb tea only, ran its course unchecked. Anotber danger against which American icva- 1ids in Paris must be cautioned, is that arising from employing tbe physician recommended by the landlord of the horel wherein the invalid may chance to be stopping. For a versy common ‘practice among unsuccessful French doctors is to make an arrangement Wwith eome promi- nent hotelkeeper whereby he gets all tne ‘practive of the bouse, paying a handsome per- centage on bis fees to the landlord for recom- mending him. Theretore I would strongly ree- ommend all American travelers abroad, in case of sickness, to send a messenger to the Ameri- can Legation, the Consulate, or one of the American banks, for the address of a skilled American practitioner. There is no lack of good ‘American doctors in Paris, both homeopathicand allopathic, but the address of any one of them is but scidom to be obtained at any of the hotels, onagccount of the league between the lnnkz:flcrs and the Freuch doctors whercof I have already sboken. Those residents in Paris who dwell in fur- nished apartmeats are now forced to bestir themselves to make preparations for the future, for scarcely any of the proprietors of fornished hotels or apartments have been will- ing to lease their places for a later period than the 1st of May, positively refusing even to name = price in most instances. I know of one case wherein a lady who had been paying $150a month, offered $200 for the spring and summer months, but the landlady retused to give her 4 Jease on these terms: ** siie might be able to get a great deal more. Her tenaut might stay on from month to month if she liked, sut with the understanding that she was to leave if anybody offered a higher price.” Nuturally, the lady re- fused, and departed. In fact, the proprictors of farnishéd apartments, always the most shameless and dishonest class of extortioners to be met with in Paris, seem fairly crazed with zrecd at the prospect. of the influx of strangers cxpected during the coming spring. 1 Lope they will be most bitterly disappointed, as they deserve to be, one and all. LIFE IN SPAIN. Bayara Taylor tn New Tork Tribune. The commou people in Spain live very much sike the same class in Italy. Bread, olives, oil, wine, fruits, and vezetables, with eggs, and the flesh of pigs and goats, are the chief articles of their diet. But they use more salt fish and more garlic, and, in place of the Italian friltate, or fried dishes, they have the guisado, or stew. When the oil is good, their stews of kid and wegetables, flavored with red pepper and garlie, are very palatable. The ole includes peas, ‘beans, lupins, or onions, or whatever clse comes bandy. Every woman knows bow to makea passable omelctte, and to roast meat on a spit,—the primitive fashion of roast- ing, which ‘no later culinary invention has cver cqualed. They also knowg Low to treat coffee with- proper respect, an are uusurpassed in preparing chocolate; ted, however, is a hopeless mystery to them. The bread of Spain is excellént everywhere, partly owing to the superior quality of the wheat. Tne ohvcsm: the best in the world, and they scem to be'caten at all hours. It is the custom in Andalusia, T found, to hang a lony, deep basket —or rather wicker bea—of olives to the saddle- ‘bow in the morning. and cmoty it during day. They are very cheap, and the oil contain is an excellent substitute for meat. though there may not be much wealth among the country people, there is very little abject poverty, and I heard much more complaint of their sulfering from political disturbances than from want of the necessaries of life, The habit of making a stable for horses ana cattle out of the lower story,—even in towns,— and living over, it, is a_disagrecable featureof domestic lite. Oiten the only entrance to the dwelling is throusn the stable, the smells where- of permeate the whole house. The bed-rovms, however, are menerally very clean, aud the sheets and towels, of coarse cotton, are such-as 1 huve often wished for in many partsof our own country. In the villages and small towns the room for guests-isalso the family room, and the stranzer is expected to behave like one of the (amily while” he remaios. ‘He may become acquaint- e :;pmw.‘ss of the uain The priest or-the alcalde (magisirate), and’ thus carry away with him quite a° ehapter of local Tife. 1 uever found the people suspicious or in- tolerant, though I freely” announced my Prot~ estant character. It never cccurred to me to remember the Friday fast, and only once was I delicately reminded of it, in 2 little villase at the base of the Pyrences. “Is it your habit to ot meat to-doyi? she landlord asked. *Cen tainly?" I said; and he brought me. mutton- chops. The Gothic element 1n Spain, in fact, is naturally Protestant; the Gothscluug to Arian- jsm for centurics after it had been condemned Dy the Church of Rome. Under a thoroughly {rec Government, Protggtantism would speedily gain a foothold in Spain: The more I saw of the common pcople, the - better I liked them. Even. in Barceloua [ was earnestly warned azainst undertakine the jour- pey to Andorraz 1 was told that the people were_mostly: robbers and: contrabandists,. and that I should certainly be robbed, even. if my life were not- andangered.. But. I know, from fermer experionce, how much such reports were the . worth; and there could bave becn no more safer and peaceful journey than mine. There conld also have been very little cheating, for my expenses, including a horse and © mag, both of whom I fed, averazed about $aday. The robbers and contrabandists (if they were such) sat down with me to the table, and duly passed to me the carthen flagon of - wine, with 2 loug spout—of exactly the form of some of those found by Gen. di Cesnola in Cyprus—which enables oue to pour and drink at the same time, without putting it to the lips. It is held above the head, the stream turned on fora suflicient length of time, and then cut off by adexterous jerk of the wrist. A stranger is usually obliged to spoil two shirt- bosoms in getting the knack of it; but the good-fellowship which follows success is worth that sacrifice. The mode of lving in Spain—corresponding o that in Italy and the greater part of France —is 5o rational and convenient that I should like to see it adopted everywhere; but, owing to our American habit of wark, it would not be pocsible bere. Immediately on rising you fake o cup of chocolate, thick and ' ropy gs honey, of delicious flavor, and a single wheat biscnit. This enables you to work for three or four hours, when a bountiful breakfast of eggs, fish, chops, and stews is served. Light wine 2nd water are drunk with this meal, finish- Ing with ' bowl of good coffee. Five or six working hours follow, and then dinner comes, between the tasks of the day and the social recreations of the evening. “There is rarely any supper, except on festive occasions, and niot often then. The peoble are temperate; their excesses spring from causes of temporary excitement, and arc rarely found as fixed habits. Their tempers arequickand inflammable; strons apger sworks upon them like a niadness; yet the most violent may be gentle, honest, and kind in their ordinary moods. I cannot remembera single instance of discourtesy during my jour- neys on horseback, nor any attempt at extortion large enough to be suspected. THE LAST OF XING VICTOR. Rome Correspradence New York World. The night of Victor Emmanuel’s death the distinguished painter Vannutell was sent for by order of King Umberto, to make a study of the deceased Kine as he lay on the bed in his catimet where he died. Kinr Umberto not only wishes @ portralt of his father after death, previous to the embalming, which will bea family possession, but he also ordered Vannu- telli to make him = study of the King lying in state in the Sala Degli Svizzeri of the Quirinal. Through the kind influence of Signor Vannutelti, I bad a chance of seeing the King before the embalming and also a private view of the lying in state. Previous to the embalming, Victor Emmanuel looked as it he werc only slceping, for the sickpess of five davs was not lonz enough to emaciate him; thus he had_all the appearance of life: o might have fancicd you could sce the respira- tion and movement of the breath passing from the dead lips. He was on an iron camp-bed, with a white coverlid thrown over him—the left shoulder, with a grey hunting- acket on it, showiug above the cover; on his reast was a bronze crucifix. The face was aler than we were accustomed to sceing it. g‘hls came from the unluckybleeding that Dr. Bacelli insisted upon having done, Cavour was killed by bleeding, it is said; and now the same charge is made against the medical trentment given to the dead King. Vannutelli’s study is perfect, and gives 2 mo: satisfactory and pleas- ing jmpression of Victor Emanuel. Already many applications have been made to the artist for coples of it, but, as it is a private order of King Umberto, Vannutelli cannot accept any comrmission until he knows his Majesty’s wishes, The most effective picturc of the dead Kinz of Ttaly, however, is one that can never be painted; it is that one when, after the last sacraments were administered, all the grand officers of his civil and military household filed off in front of him, each giviog him a solemn, mournful sa- lute, which be returned with a serious, cour- teous couraze—it was the last salute! Vaonatelli's study of the dend King Iying in state is very effective. The superb Sala’ Regia of the Quirinal, with its maeniticent carved and oilt ceiling, the grand frieze painted by Lan- France and Saraceni il Veneziano, is hung with red damask on the lower walls. Against the entrance to the Pauline chapel is the stately baldachino. Thereisa great gilt crown aloft, and from it hang the long smpie folds of crim- son damask, lined with rosal ermine. Up high, as on the summit of a lofiy altar, is placed the embalmed King, dressed in a Geperal’s uniform, with a red velvet mantle, richiy embroidered in gold wrapped about him. Ieis placed almost in a standing position. Great broad steps cov- ered with red ascend to the altar-like cata- falque. Candelabra are placed to the right and left of the budy, and on the broad steps of the ascent are huge candelabra mounted on vase- like bases, which are also covered with red silk damask. the royal wourning of the house of Savoy. As long as a roval Savoy corpse remains in the palace none of the house- hola wear mourning: when the body is trans- ported to the church, then the family and offi- clals assume the crape. The arrangement of the Iying in state is quite open to criticism, but Vannutelli, like the clever artist he is, has selected the best points, and given the scene a most imnosinicfl‘cct. His Venetian taste for color has made him seize on the finest contrasts. There is the King as the point of distance, not too prominent, and yet the subject; the group of royal and civic and floral crowns, Iying on the altar steps st his feet; the grandiose crimson vases and cande- 1abra; a tow of brown Capuccini reading their prayers; a royal Chamberlain, bLis breast blaz- ing with orders, and the maé&nificént body- guard, those well-known Savoy cuirassiers, in their brilliant uniform, with steel cuirasses and helmets, standinyg as if petrified into white mar- bic and flashing metal. Vannutelli came for me yesterday to go with bim when _he made the last study of this Iying instate. It wasa solemnand unpressive mo- ment, for while be was sitting painting, and the vast hall still and solemn with great funereal shadows draping the lower end, the curtain was 1ifted and a military personage entered, followed by an ambassador and two_staff oflicers. Thi: gentleman and his attendants had on black Cpaulets, and their swords were draped with crape. He knelt on the lower step of the cata- falque with- colemnity and devoutness, and the gentlemen with bim bowed their bodies rever- entially; then, after a few moments of silent prayer, they left the hall. ‘It was the Prince Imperial Frederic, of Prussia, with bis staff and the German Ambassador. A GALA NIGHT AT THE MADRID THEATRI. Madrid Correspondence Londnr Times. Last night a grand gula piece was performed at the theatre in honor of the Royal marriage. Inever saw a more magnificent hali or more strikinespectacie. I rejoiceto think I haveseen it, for I do not suppose I could have witnessed the like anywhere els¢, and because I was al- most missing it. From 9 o’clock 1n the evening the hall was crowded from the stalls to the fourth gallery, the front boxes Leing filled with all that Mad- rid contains of noble, clegant, beautiful, and young. Every box contained at least four 1adies, mostly in lizht-colored rabes, in the first rank; hehind them, covered with gold and bril- liant decorations, the manifold uniforms of all that Madrid and a ereat part of Spain furnishes of Generals and civil and political officials. what pave-the ball its peculi parterre covered with fauteuils. mingled magnificence esceeded in picturesque and elegant variety everything imaginnble. In these fauteuils alternated beautiful Madrilenes, ‘black coats, and uniforms. The ladies seated in the fauteuils 211 wore the pretty white mantilla, falling from over their dark or blonde hair, and fastened with diamond pins, covering them like 8 spring fist. The parterre, usually eo dark and monoto- nous, was bere as picturesque and warmly col- ored as an Oriental carpet.

The finctuntions in Western Union and Atlantic & Pacific are cxplained by the commencement of a suit in New Yorkto break up the agrcement between the two Companies for tho pooling of thefr carnings. The litigation has been begun by a stockholder of the Westorn Unlom, who has asked for zn injunction to prevent that Company from paying over uny of its earnings to the Atlantic & Pacific. The complainant asserts that the Western Union Directors had no power to, make a pooling arrangement with the Atlantic & Pacific Company, and that their action has been very injurious to the Western Union. The amount pald over to the Atlantic & Pacidc by the Western Tnion has already reached $120,000, and, if the arrangement Is allowed to continue, it will, during the twenty years of the compact, cost the Western Union at this rate fully $9,600,000. Tt is beteved by some of the operators on-the Stock Exchange that this suit is brought at the instigation of the ‘Western Union Directors, who wish to get, rid, in this way, of a bad barzain.

The popularity of the Mining-Stock Exchange of New York is increasing, and a number of the more enterprising members of the Stock Exchange have emigrated towhas has become the rival Board. The public regard mining properties as no more dangerous than the sccuritics represented on the New York Stock Exchange, and as more attractive bacauge they are livelier and give larzer chances of profit.

Mr. William Abbott has just issued his analyeis of the accounts of the Joint-Stock Banks of ron- don for the past half-year. "The fizures ure this time interesting mainly from the testimony which they give to the remarkable stability of e totals swith which these banks deal. Trade may be bad, but the profits of the banks_ certulnly do not shuw it, norare the current and deposit accounts 1 the aggregate lower than in the preceding half-year, eXcept in one or lwo instances. The average rate of dividend paid by the ten banks included in the {ist was 13}¢ per cent, and tho lowest 0 per cent. To some extent, however, this scemingly large dis- tribution is_misleading, inasmuch as the né'"mg:llc reserves of the banks amount to £3. 450, 000, asam on which no dividend is nominally paid! Tae total of both capital and reserves. moreover, is but small aguinst the grass total of deposits and acceptances with which Uie banks bave to deal, being but £12,500,000 agamnst £102,584,000. In reality, therefore, the ues earninge on tue total working resources of the banks was barely at the rate or 1% per cent per annum last half-ycar, and ©even that must be considered a very good yicld in prescnt times, The net falling off in the working resources was £589,000, due to various cuuses, ‘but chiefly to a large decrease of over £1,000,000 in the acceptances of the Union Bank. .

The leadng produce markets were rather tame Saturday. Provisionswere steady, and breadstuffs irrcgular, but with higner pricesn wheat and oats. The early fecling was strongzer in grain, owinz chiefly to a reported decline in British console, and weakened with the news that Russia had decided not to insist upon taking the Turkish flect, which was regarded as an augury of peace. There wasa good ehipping demand for grain, and rather leas doing in futures, with finer weather, bat little change in temperature. The market . for domestic dry goods was quiet. The country roads are in bad condition, and busi- ness in the interior is very dull in consequence. To that fact is attributed the recent falling off in business at this point. Groceries were 1n light re- quest at about former prices. Cofees were quoted easicr, with which exception previous figures were fally sustained all around. No changes were noted in dried” fruits. Business was as zood a3 could be expected, and the tenor of prices was fairly steady. Fish remain dull, with prices ehow- ing o tendency to go lower. DBntter was quoted as ‘before, choice to fancy grades belng active and firm, while the poorer sorts were neglected and weak. Cheese was unchanzed. Good. to best full creams were held at 12:¢@13%¢. Oils were quiet, +with no quotable change in values. Leather, bag- ging, tobacco, coal, and wood were without markea new features. Paintsand colors were in better re- quest atunchanged prices. Hogs opened higher but closed at Friday's prices, at $3.75@+4.00. Cattle were inactive and unchang- ed, £t $2.50@5.25 for common to extra. Sheep were quoted steady, at $3.00@+4.75. The demand for lumber was moderate, and prices were anchanged. The shipments arc fair, but consist principally of lumber that was eold some time ago to be delivered this month. The country markets are dull on acconnt of the bad roads. Wool was dull. Sceds were in fair request and steady, clover being stronger in consequence of u better shipping demand. Iay was rather qniet but ficr, a8 dealers apprehend that the re- ceipts will fall off now, owing to the almost im- passable condition of the roads in the interior. Hides were easy. Poultry and eggs met with a moderate local inquiry at the current prices. - The offerings were fair, and dressed turkeys, chickens, etc.. were casy, us sellers wanted to close out, the weather being too mild to carry the stock till Mon- day. Rail frolghts were quoted steady on the basis of 20c per 100 bs for grain to New York. Therenwas gome demand for vessels to take corn to Buffalo at 3¢, but carriers talked 3Xe. Through rates to Liverpool, in specle, per 100 1bs, were 49¢ for grain by sail, 51@51%4c do by steam, and 60@62c on ‘provisions. IN NEW YORK SATURDAY.

McLaren & Co. give the recoipts of wheat at Chicago, Milwankee, Detroit, Toledo, and St. Louts, from Sept.. 1 to date, 28 43,471,826 bu, and the shipments as 43,271,838 bu. They say: e are now reachinz s period, of abont two ‘months, when the condition of roids and the en- gogements of farmers with outdoor work will Tecessarily prevent any larze deliverics of grain. Judeing from the tniformly Inrge demand for Wheat daring the past six monthe, wo can sec no reason to doubt its continuance, as even the possi- ble supplics from Sonthern Russia cominz into European markets this summer would only par- tially meet cobsumption requirements till” next harvest. It would secm, therefore, that evena fair demsnd during the coming wocks Is likely to find unusnally bare etocks and small supplics, and it will be dificalt to secare_mach dectlne, or ‘even avoid an advance.
