FROM PARIS TO BRUSSELS. Four Washington Wheelmen Touring on the Continent. A PARIS CELEBRATION—THE GUIDE AND INTER- PRETER — SCENES AND INCIDENTS—ON THE ROAD IN FRANCE—NEARING THE BELOIAN LIXE—AN INEXPENSIVE MEAL, Bavaszrs, July 29, 1889. We got into Paris in time to help the French selebrate the one-bundredth anniversary of the storming of the Bastile. The fun began Saturday evening, the 13th, and was especially hilarious over in the Latin quarter. Clubs and miscellaneous crowds of men and boys paraded about, tooting borns and trumpets and singing, and, the chief object being to, make a noise, there was nothing attractive to a person of violent musical taste in this feature of the general uproar. Neighborhoods in portions of the city combined together, took i of the street, which they filled with tables and chairs, erected a stend for musicians and dauced and hadahigh old time generally with searcely an intermission through Saturday night, Sunday and until Monday morning. Lights and lanterns of all kinds furnished ample illumination at night, showing to the best advantage the tasteful and sometimes rather decolette costumes of the fairsex. That “the day” fell upon Sunday made no difference to Paria. The celebrating wont on even more furiously than had it been upon a week day. In the afternoon there was a grand review of the troops of the garrison out at Longcham and the city turned out en masse to see the show. As we leftour mackintoshes at the hotel of course it rained and there was a con- ment display of French feminine feet and sen shocking tothe Americaneye. Wading down to the river we returned to the city by one of the little steamers which ply the Seine, steered by « tiller instead of the usual wheel. AMONG THE FLAGS @isplayed throughout the city American pre- dominated next tothe French. A few English, Swiss, Dutch and Belgian flags were to be seen, but no German. France wants nothing Ger- man in hers, and Germany is not represented at her exposition. Not ouly is Germany in dis- repute, but the Italian ernment is not in very high favor with the French just at present, as one shopkeeper who innocently displayed an Italian flag amidst a iot of miscellaneous deco- rations has good reason to know. Some one raised an outcry against it which late comers mistook to be occasioned by the attempted dis- play of a German flag, as with roars of “Down with Bismarck!” they proceeded to paw up the earth and make everything in tne vicinity pre- sent & worn and weary appearance, THE PEOPLE OUT OF DOORS. Paris seems to enjoy getting out of doors and doing ite eating and drinking in public. The sidewalks in front of the cafes are largely taken up with chairs and small tables, and, judging from the number of people usnally occupying them one would suppose that a majority of the male population had nothing on earth to oc- cupy its time and attention but to sit there and sip absinthe all day. The boulevards are not really alive until about midnight, or later. Then they swarm with uniforms and aswell suits, and the demimonde are out with all their finery. GUIDE AND INTERPRETER. Itis about this hour that the professional “guide and interpreter” of doubtful character lies iu wait for the blase young man from abroad to show him the town by gaslight. ‘These gentry lead a precarious existence, liv- ing strictly on their wits. They usually have a Fees Bed restaurants and cafes, however,which besides giving them a small commission on custom they bring in, tide them over with free meals the numerous rainy days they encounter. We met a g specimen ef this kind in a personage styling himself “Old Tom, the Yankee Guide,” an appendage to our hotel, who, Popyoey be his representa- éions, was born in New York state, of Irish parents, served ina New Hampshire ent in the war of the rebellion, afterwards in our navy and in an English lancers regiment, and finally drifted to Paris, where he had stranded remained ever since. We had some expe- Fience with “Old Tom”- extensive doesn't Matter, but he was soon shipped as too expen- sivealuxury. The nominal charge for his services was cheap enough, but he pla ful way of treating ali his numerous “friends” at our expense, which became rather tiresome after awhile. TRE FRENCH UNIFORM. For a cheap-looking, awkward-fitting uni- form, that of the French soldier carries off the gold medal, A pair of red bags, sewed together st the top and the bottoms cut out, answer the FP gor of trousers, while another bag of dark jue, with supplemental bage for ghe arms and # row of buttous down the front, answers asa coat; the whole crowned with a pair of huge eurtain-cord tasseled epaulets. Of course there are some variations in the different arms of the service, but the general effect is about the same. It is said that several unsuccessful attem| have been instituted to divorce the soldier and his red bags. The English soldier, with his ridiculous little round visor- Jess cap strapped to the side of his head, his superabundance of decoration and his prepor- derance of scarlet, not always as clean as it might be and showing a tendency to * when wet, is positively a beauty —— with his French brother. We did not ver in just what the duty of a French officer consists, Unless it be to loaf around the cafes in dress uniform, sword and all, amd receive the ad- miration of the ladies, AT THE TABLE, Our‘fare for awhile was limited to su@ few dishes as we were able to recognize in their Frnach disguises. Gradually, by experience and observation, especially the former, we were able to extend our diet into broader fields, that is to say we were able to point out on the menu what we wanted without taking any chances of getting only & little piece of candy for dessert as H—— did one day.

By the time we reached La Forte-M: the night halt, we were as hungry sypremp tn popularly sup- posed to be, and had a most destructive effect upon the dinner laid out for us. We paid such ifyou full and complete attention to the soup and the first course of meat and vegetables that by the | time the servant found opportunity to off the remains and bring in an unexpect second course of meat and we were almost helpless. We were well away from the town next morning when two horses attached to a cart going in an opposite astonished at H——'s appearance as he sailed Sy, attempted to climb up onto a steep roadway ing into e yard, overturning the cart wil | its load of t and breaking a shaft. The | driver, after getting his horses started, had evidently hurried to a neighboring inn | to drink a glass of wine—as all Frenchmen are prone to do—leaving them to follow more slowly with their load. G—— and Von arrived on the scene just in time to receive his bene- diction as he came out and discovered the state of affairs, After a fine long coast down through a heavy woods we were rewarded by the discovery that we would have to turn our- selves right around and toil slowly back up to the top, . YOR WE WERE OFF OUR ROAD. But first one of us had « long, stern chase up hill through s village after H——, whose ambition had carried him far in the advance. We were, in fact, kept busy all day missing the road and bonny Tea itagain, in the course of which pastime from the party and we saw no more of next morning. To cap the climax two of us collided while coasting, and G—— gracefully soared out into space and left the imprint of his form upon the virgin soil of France, while his machine, not to be outdone, turned a very creditable somersault for a beginner. Dam- ages were repaired by noon nextday, Con- vinced that there was » hoodoo somewhere about, a court of inquiry was commenced that evening, consisting of the aurvivors of the events of the day. A majority were of the opinion that the trouble lay in an “Engiish’ cap which G—— was wearing on this run—one of that kind made so they won't fit you and so loud you can hear them before you see them. NEARING BELGIUM. Next day it rained, and rained again and again, G—-— still wearing the hoodoo cap. By the time we cast anchor in the evening at the village of Hirson, near the Belgian frontier, we looked as though we had just passed through a Johnstown flood. Our dinner or whatever it might be called was served in the kitchen where mamma and her daughters hovered about in silent wonder as we emptied large pitchers of milk and clamored for more. Our satisfaction would have been complete but for some cheese. That cheese was positively vociferous. We did all we could to get away from it. but couldn't. The rain kept up at inter- vals until nearly noon the following day, when we succeeded in getting off between showers and struck out for Belgium, bent on wheeling across the frontier, which, though quite near in a direct line, was not crossed by the road for some 35or 40 miles, Thir- teen mil ut Von separated from the party to go to Germany direct and the restof us pedgled along through intermittent showers and mad uddles as far as Liessies, seven miles beyond. ‘he road constantly became worse, and would have been bad enough even in dry weather. For several miles we rode through woods, and the first signs of returning civilization were the heh i 2 of what in American vernacular is termed a kid, as its mother ig Ng it with the family rod of correction. By the time we reached Liessies we were ready to waive our previous determination and cross the frontier in a more conventional way—by rail. SHORT OF CASH. ‘Then it was we discovered that we had but little money left save Bank of England notes, which would be available only in large places where we could get them exchanged. There were serious deubts as to whether we had enough with which to get ourselves and bikes to Brussels, We had not felt very hungry be- fore, but now our appetites became ravenous, Passing a cafe restaurant near the station as likely to make too great inroads upon onr little store if patronized, we proceeded to make a cautious survey of the village, and at length pop ata cost of 8cents, a small paste- ‘d box, containing a dozen very small wine- cakes, of the present century's baking, possi bly, which we divided and disposed of in tl —_ =e aphid —— = the station eeper, whose ily occu) the uj stor; of the station, were running about” mith very interesting slices of bread spread wit! jam. Under almost any other circumstances ould not have been so sorely tempted to deprive them of it. At length, with one ac- cord, we fled from temptation to the cafe res- tauraut near at hand and there ordered bread and milk, about the cheapest fare we could think of. A large pitcher containing fully three quarts of milk and a large loaf of bread were brought in. It did not last long and we wanted more; but our new-born spirit of econ- omy said nay. With many misgivings we asked how much we owed for the layout, Seventy- five centimes—only 15 cents! We asked again. Ya! only 75 centimes. We had expected to pay two or three timesas much and have never been able to forgive ourselves for not getting a second supply. ON THE RAILROAD, Erquillinnes, over the line, was as far as we were able to get that night. Next morning, after hastily swallowing our breakfast, we had just three minutes in which to get to the sta- tion for our train, We made it, but we kept the train waiting for fully five minutes while we got tickets for our bikes, which the officials ad kindly rushed aboard without tickets. The station keeper, who generally seems to be the man who starts the trains, blew his whistle loudly and waxed exceedingly wrathy other powers prevailed.

Counting Gum Chewers on a Train. From the Indianapolis News, She was dressed in one of the cool, simple, but charming gowns which are the style this summer. A mass of fiuffy, sunny curls clus- tered about her forehead and neck, and the aristocratic looking Psyche knot into which was twisted a wealth of shining hair. A clear eyed young fellow sat not far away and looked ather with evident admiration. Her com- plexion was perfect, her eyes large and ex- pressive and of the rich purple of the ame- thyst. But there was some indefinable defect about her mouth, Thelips were red and shaped like Cupid’s bow. The flaw was not in them. Yet surely something was not satisfactory about the gir! ppearance, It is—yes, it is evident that one rosy cheek is fuller than the other, just where it slopes away to the white, smooth neck.

About eight years ago, when the skating rink craze was at its height, Minnie Decker, then twelve years of age, was living with her mar- ried sister in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Minnie made visits almost daily to the rink, where she met a young man named Burns; and they fell deeply in love. Burns proposed marriage, and before Minnie had ati ined bee tixteenth birthda: they went to a minister and the knot was tied. They had not lived together long when her husband was arrested on a criminal charge and sent to state prison, Three years later, and while Burns was in prison, the young wife became acquainted with a “dash- ing fellow named Hawkins, and believing that was on account of her inearceration, wedded Hawkins. Her life with him way an unpleasant one. He failed to contribute toward her support, and finally deserted her. She subsequently learned had died. She then drifted to War- range county, and soon became a fa- vorite with the young men in and about the “We could wos arrest the ones of but we might confiscate it.

Paris Letter London Telegraph. The recent double execution of Allorto and Sellier at La Roquette has again given rise toa considerable amount of discussion as to the moral effect of the ‘‘guillotine” on the criminal classes, It is quite possible that President Carnot’s severity in according few reprieves has had a deterrent effect on the cut-throats who had learned to expect so much from the misplaced clemency of M. Grevy. This woujd seem to be borne out by the observations of the Abbe Faure, chaplain of La Roquette prison, who has just communicated a report on his ministretion to the government, The abbe be- lieves that no other punishment which may be Substituted for execution by the ‘-guillotine” will have so fear-producing an effect as the terrible instrument of justice at the service of the public headman. ‘ In his report the abbe draws a realistic pic- tare of the suspense in which the doomed mur- derer lives from day to day, until he hears either his summons to the scaffold or the news of areprieve, Nearly all the murderers seek consolation more or less in religion, according to the degree of education which they have received, and none of them give up the hope of @ reprieve until the last moment. The con- demned criminals rarely or never sleep when they know that their time is approaching, or if they do it is only to doze off into a horrible dream, from which they jump up all livid with fear and dread. Sleeping or waking the “guil- lotine,” the lunette, the headsman and his as- wistants are for ever present to their imagina- tions. Out of eleven persons whom the abbe attended during his six | ove of office only three were really asleep when their summons came. On the whole, the French system of keeping criminals in suspense for weeks or months is a severe one; but neither the prison chaplain, who considers it his duty always to buoy up thé doomed men with hope, nor the magistrates and police officials who deal with the danger- ous classes, are inclined to recommend ita alteration in any of its details, Go on Fripay axp Sarugpar Evexrxe to a Hall excursion.

This time rumor, perhaps on no authority whatever, places the projected institution under the joint patronage of Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Cleveland. As dis- cussed a couple of years ago, Mrs. Whitney was said to be interested actively, and Miss Juliet Corson was spoken of as a fitting head for the school, The plan, Rowever, ended in moon- shine, but the difficulties of housewives so in- crease and multiply that, undaunted, it bobs up serenely once more.
