Philadelpbia Record. Whether traveliing at home or abroad, I have observed that there seems to exist some controlling senti- ment that intuitively leads the tourist when visiting large cities to sooner or later turn his steps toward the ceme teries, the silent cities of the dead, which more frequently contain, espe cially in foreign countries, a vaster concourse than the cities of the living. It is a sentiment akin, perhaps, to that which leads one to visit ancient churches, moss.grown and covered | with ivy, orto explore the gloomy crypts and cloisters of spacious cathe drals, and partakes more of reverence than curosity. No city, town or country villiage | but has its resting place for the dead, | and there are few travelers who have | not been impressed by constrast be- tween the tranquil little country church yards—dotted with perhaps here and there a more imposing shaft and the busy town near by, scores of which one is sure to pass in a day’s rapid railroad jouraey. Still more striking is the contrast between the | bustle and hurry and excitoment of the great cities and the peace’n cha acter of their spacious cemetcries, i erally located, in this country s well a8 in most toreign lands, on soie site | best fitted by nature for the quite resting place of those whose carthly pilgrimage is ended, and decorated and improved by all the skill that landscape gardening and modern art can devise Tho tourist’s visit to Paris would not be completo without a stroll through the celebrated cemetery of Pere la Chaise, which, formerly an old Jesuit stronghold, was first laid out in 1804, and has hecome the largest burial ground of the gay French capi- tal. As “all the paths of glory lead but to the grave,” so all the strgéts of Paris lead to Pere la Chaise, which, located without the ancient bounda- ries of the city to the east, is a long distance from the contral part of the city. One jumps irtoa “‘voiture,’ and if not familiar with the caity topo graphy trusts to the integrity of the ‘‘cocher” to at last reach the objective point. As you wish to be sure of your vehicle to return, you have probably engaged him by “‘the courses” (the established charge for which from any one point to another within the walls of Paris is only a franc and a half, with a “‘pourboire” of a few sous),"and being engaged by the hour the chauces are that he will sclect ihe longest route he can devise. +But you can be- eome reconciled as pass object after ob- jecton'lnstorical interest on your way, Now we come iuto the Palace Ven- dome, a large open square, in the cen- tre of which stands the magnificent column,surrounded by a bronze statue of the great Corsican captain. It was pulled down by the Communists after the Franco-German war, but was soon re-erectes One hundred and thirty feet in height and twelve in diameter is the Colonns Vendome. 1t is built of stone, and encompassed with bronze in bag-reliefs illustrative of Napoleon’s military campaigns, which commence at the bottom and circie around the shaft to the top. The bronge was ob- tained from 1200 cannons captured by the “‘grand army” from the Russians and the Austrian in the victorious campaign of 1805, We stop at the Flace de Bastille, and, standing on the very site of that terrible French prison, which was de- stroyed in the revolation of 1789, view the Colonne de Jullet, which towers one hundred and fifty feet, and is sur- mounted by a figure of Liberty with a torch in one hand and a broken chain in the cther, poised upon one foot as if about to take flight. Not a vestige of the once dreaded Basiile remains, and the stones of its cruel duageons now form the beautiful Pont dela Concorde across the Seine. What horrid cruelties and turbulent scenes have been enacted <on this historical spot! The wall that shields one side of the square from the moat that form erly surrounded the prison has been shattered by the missiles of combat, and it was hero that some of thesever- est fighting occurred between the Communists and the troops. A little child of our party found a bullet em- bedded in the masonry. It was readily removed with a penknife and given her asa souvenir. What historical memories its diseovery revived! But on this once turbulent spot all is quiet enough now That magnificent Grecian-looking temple that we passed is the Church of the Madeleine. It is a grand struct- ure, with its seautiful Corinthian col- umns, fifty feet in height, its noble front aud great bronze doors, reached by the broad flight of marble steps, The inside is one vast hall beautifully decorated and lighted from the top by domes. All along the sides are chapels, dedicated to the different saints and oruamented with elegant statues and paintings. Over §3,000, 000 has been expended in the con- struction and repair of this edifi Worship iz held several times a day in the Madeleine, and almost any hour way be heard the voice of the priest iutoning or the soft strains of the or- gan. And yet ouly afow years ago the riotous Communists improvised this sanctuary of the Most High as a refuge of defence, and muny of them were shot down by the troops at tho very foot of the altar, Tu the distance, on the opposite side of the ¥eine, looms the great Cathe- dral of Paris—~Notre Dame - that grand old momument of the past, that a8 suffered such rough usage at the hands of the fierce mobs of the differ ent revolutions, But this magnificent | Gothie structure is yot grand i.sid { ul, with its two great squar hundred fcotan | idows be tween them, thirty-six feet in diame- ter, with their beautiful stain: d ¢« The niches above the lofty cuirance are ficted with beautiful statues of saints, and on the edge of the ram- parts are colossal figures carved in stone, but appearing very small from the pavement below. The vaulted arches in the interior, rising one above the other to a height of over a hun dred feet, produce that grand and im pressive appearance that attaches to all these superb creations of the old cathedral buuders. owers of over wwo 488, Now we pass across a very busy and crowded part of Paris by the Rue d' Aboukiv and we come out on the boul evard at the Chateau d’Eau, with its We then follow the Boulevard da Prince Eugene, and our proximity to the ancient cemetery is indicated by workshops of marble and stonecutters and funeral wreathmakers, Arrived at the gate we secure a guide, for it is impossible for a stranger unaided to tread this wilderness of tombs without losing his way. This famous burying ground con- tains over 25,000 tombs, besides innu- merable graves, and it is estimated that sver $§50,000,000 have been on- pended on the stone monuments that are still standing. The cemetery oc- cupies nearly three hundrod acres of land, and the older portion is crowded beyond description perfect laby- rinths of tombs and vaults, standing as close together as the houses in & busy thoroughfares of the city. Some of these vaults are of wonderful depth, and the cofling containing the bodies are simply let down one upon the other and the opening merely closed with a stone slab. In this part of the cemetery a damp, mouldy disagreeable odor is always noticieable, and in hot woather the smell is so bad that visi tors seldom enter. The paths of the older portion of Pere la Chaise are very narrow, not wide enough, in some places, for vehi- clea to pass each other, and are rough- Iy paved with cobble stones, which have becone looscued with time and the action of the rains, and present anything but a neat appearance. Even the unewer portion of the ocine- tery caunot compare with the broad and spacious drives and walks of our own Laurel Hil or Greenwood, or scor 8 of the magnificent cemeteries of different citios in this country. The first tomb of note to which the guide gonerally couducts the visitor 11 Pere la Chaise 1s that of Abelard and Heloise, whose sad " and re- romantic history has always atruck responsive chord in the heatts of sentimental lovers, Itisa little, open Gothic chapel, in which is the s phagus of Abelard; upon it reats his efivy; wnd by its side that of Heloise. The moaument is built from the ruins of Paraclete Abbey, of which Heloise was Abbess; but its sculptur- ed figures and decoratinng are sadly n murred - by decay The tomb is sur- ronnced by an iron paling, on which were suspended avany wreaths of arti- { floweis evidence that there were sentimental visitors who still paid tripute 1o the shrine of disap- poiuted love. The guide plucked a leat from one of the wreaths, and, notwithstanding her earnest “‘non re- wercies,” deftly thrust it into the hLiand of one ot the ladies of the party, assuring her shat it would certainly bring bonheur, Her faith in the as- surance of the guide was not stregth- ened when she subsequently over- heard the rapacious fellow demanding of a gentleman cf the party ‘‘un frane, cinquante contimes” for the *“porte bonheur” he had theust upon her. As you thread the winding, cypress- shaded paths of this crowded city, of the dead you constantly encounter fombs bearing names familiar in his- tory. You read the names of great military chieftains, well known names distinguished in science, hiterature, theology and the arts, all gathered to this vast sepulchre. Hororests David, the great painter; Laplace and Ar go, the astronomers; Scribe, the drama- tist; Lafitte, the banker—but in opr hurried stroll we cannot note ‘l‘ many familiar names. Under that costly and elaborato mauscleum, with 1ts white Doric columns, sleeps the Countess Demidoff. On the door of a more modest sepulchre is in- scribed the name of the dead Presi- dent of the French Republie, Thiers, and in our walk we read on the same tomb the names of Beranger, the poet and Manell, the celebrated French orator, In the Jewish division of the grounds which is separated fiom the rest by u wall, the visitor is pointed out the monument of Rachel, the actress, and near by, that bearing the name of Rothsokild. Now we cume upon the names of some of the great military chieftans of the First Empire and read those of f General Massina, Marshals Koller- man, Davoust, Lefebre, and a score of others familiar to the students of military history, all marked by im- posing monuments, but we tarry as our guide halts before a little BquAre plot of ground inclosed by a light iron railing, and speaks the name ‘‘Mare- chal Ney.” Not even a plain slab of marble marks vhe last resting-place of that grand Marshal, called by his great chief ““le plus brave des braves.” A short distance from the south en- trauce to the gardens of the Palas du Luxembourg, the Paris residence of the first Napoleow, and in the gresd hall in which the sessions of the Sen- ate are now held, is thespot where the brave Ney, the last fman in the disastrous retreat from Moscow to leave Russian territory, was shot, ac- cording to decree, on the 7th of De- cember, 1816, It is marked by a bronze statute of the great marshal, and the marble pedestal is covered with the names of a hundréd battles in which this military hero distin- guished himself, As we wandezed through the ceme. texry we were stuck by the varied and sometimes quaint desiges of some of the monuments, from the imposing pryramid and elegant mausoleum, or elaborate group of statuary, to the simple marble headstone or one-franc crucifix that marks the grave of the poor parguts’ child, Gurlands, wreaths and wementoes, besides bouquets wid urns of natural flowers, were strewn in every direction upon the graves and tombs, and upen the litt'e graves we frequently noticed the toys, dolls, wooden soldiers, ete., that the chil- dren played with while liviag. Some f tho vau'ts have open fronte, guare- wd by au lron Jaiticr, through W the visitor may intu aliv tlo chapel, with iis altar, (ighted can dles and cross, where the relatives of those resting beneath offer their prayers. | Passing through the cemetery to the western boundary we reach the | 8pot where the con ned Commu- nists were shot, hundreds at a tune. They were placed beside adeep trench with their faces toward the high wall and shot to death with volleys of The bodies of those who musketry, did not fall into the trench were rude- ly thrown in, the heap of dead cov ered with shallow earth and the trench remaining open to receive the hun- dreds who would be executed on the morrow.

Wesaw the vpen vault, narrow and dark and deep as a well The day had changed from brigh* sunshine to ono of lowering darkness. The air became humid, and the disa- greeable odvr of the murty graveyard almost unbearable. The rusty vault and tombs that rose on either eids towered in the gloom like lofty wallse Wo felt as though we were indeed in a vast charnel house and quickened our steps to reach the open air. As we came near the gate that opened on the street and turned an instant to glanee at the path through which we had come a flash of lightning illumi- nated the cemetery for one eiectric instant. The effect was as indescrib- able as it was instantaneous. Al- most simultaneously came one of those sharp terrible rattles that bo- roken the nearness of the falling bolt; a thunder storm had broken upon us, and with an involuntary shudder we turned from Pero la Chaise and sought shelter in the porter's lodge. As werode home after the stormwe could not resist the reflection that, taken at its best, Pere la Chaise is not a cheorful place; and bettor, far better, cremation than such . charn- el house as a resting plac. :or the dead.
