Panis, March h~Ouc of the greatest charms of this most charming city fs its cosmopali- tanism. It belongs not alone to France, but to the whole world; and thewholo world, knowing this, feels and thinks of It with o peculiar In- terest nccorded neither to fts mightier nelzhbor, London; nor its pale imitators, St. Petersburg and Vienna: nor its jealous und upetart rival, Berling nor to fur-away busy New York and Chicago. The stranger {s at home here In n month—or inay be, If he chose. Every one, no matter whither he hall from orfontal Japan or Weatern 'Irisco, burning Alglers or chilty Btockholm, drops naturally and enslly into his place upon the asphalt of the Paris Bonlevards, You mny see crowds as dense In the streets of London, but they have a dlfferent character. The untives are bent on business, and neither thinking of, nor perhaps carlyg much for, the miserable foreigners wandering endly amidst that muftitude of 4,000,000 souls, which zecins so small within the immensity of the endiess miles of brick and mortar. No conceivable number of foreigners congregated there would make Lon- don anything but English.
