PARIS IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE . ¢ How the Gay Parisians Oelebrate on New Year's Day. h’flcrun:s oF Men Who Have Enriched the History of the French Natlon- uments and Temples Towering to the Skies, LA BELLE FRANCE Panis, Jan, 8.—[Correspondence of Tur Bee.)—1It is a vory ploasing ride from Rouen to Paris in the comfortable cars of the Chemin de fer do 'Ouest, The roadbea is easy, there Is little dust and the cars are not overheated as wilh us. The little engines attached to the train seem like toys con- trasted with the great moguls one sees on the Northern and Union Pacific. The road runs through rich valleys every inch of land being under cultivation and through quaint Norman villages whose houses have steep, red roofs. The little gar- dens surrounded by stone walls, not for pro- tection, but on which to train grape vines and froit trees, tiny littie frail trees like the Chinese dwarf trees, the banks of the Seine and occasionally see the towers of some chateau pesping above the trees and the little villages, always with a church, some modern and others that look 1f many centuries had rendered them more Interesting. ‘We reached Paris about dusk and were driven from the station up the grand avenue de I'Opera to our hotel on the Rue Rivoli, W - posite the gardens of the Tulleries. 3 came to Paris free from prejudice and we are disappointed. Perhaps it is the heavy, dull, bumid atmosphere, th maks less beautiful ~and brilliant we expected, In New York we left hine and delir; charming weather, everything .4 under lowering skies and itis wet and A If I wore not afraid of my enemies I would write a book and call it “‘Lies,” not wkite but black lies. One person told us to be sure and tako lots of wraps and rugs, You will suffer 8o with cold in the cars, The cars are more comfortable than o Another said ou cannot drink water in Parls; it 00 Ld. The water is vm‘-iy good here. The “‘"‘f‘ we expected to find good are bad and what we expected to be bad are good. Paris at present is not oleaner than New York and not as clean as many of our own cities, 1f thoy would tarn the hose on the streots and suppress the beggars it would be a0 improyemeut., However, this is the Jour dal'an, the day the Parisians oelebrate as we do Christmas, and the beggars are lowed w'xl: their trade without hindrance, Froum baloony of our room we look into the ens of the Tuileries and bave a coup v, @cell from the Place du Carrousal to the “ Place de la Concorde to the Arc de I'Etoil The whole of the Champs Elysses is c{:l before us, from the colossal statue of Gam- betta to the Aro de I'Etolie Napoleon had erected to celobrate his marriage with Mar] Louise, and which even the Parisians, i :shnl maroch tnrough the cong! oity, spared. But the commune has left not lnfl\-lnulll of Lhearmd old palace of the Tulleries, only & lttle ruin where one can see the ~ window ur countryman, Dr. Evai utiful empress, took b 0 & place of ‘safety, else she might have met a worse fate thau the lovely queen, borne from tuis place 1o a prl aud to the guillotine. Across the Selue we have a view of the Hotel des I vilides, where re) ne remains of the Lt emperor. The theon once, burch now, the mousoleum of the great men of E‘rnu:o\lnfl this beautiful Greek temple, where Victor Hugo avd other of France's great writers, poets, are eutowbed, is - What'0 Tany of e shusohes Paris t from whoich nhr;l:n(} r sam) of palaces of France have witnessed. The original build- ing of the Panthecon was a church erected in the third century, 1 think, in honor of the patron saint of Paris, St. Genevieve, nearly destroyed once, then again restore by Catherine de Medicis, It has been a témple of reason in the revolutions, dese- crated by mobs, again a church, and now a temple of fame. All the old buildings of Paris are a history in themselves, New Year's day in Paris is a fete. We saw the senators and deputies on their way to ay their respects to President Carnot, rid- Kuz in carriages, with a guard of mounted policemen, but there was nothing very bril- hant about it. The condition of two of the writers of France seems to cause more emo- tion—M. Ernest Renan, who is ill, and Guy de Maupassant, who has gone insane, per- haps from reading his own vile books—than tho reception of the presidentof the republio. Our minister, Mr, Reid, and his wife had & brilliant reception on New Years. Tne Duc de Roohefoucauld on the 1ith of February received with Mrs. Reid. Sne was never more beautiful and charming. The whole of the American colony were out in force, Apropos ot Miss Mitchell I heard a very bright man on the steamer coming over ropose that the American people should give Rlln Mitchell a dot, since she was the first American girl who any foreigner was ever known to be willing to marry without ono, Little Florence Andenseix was not at the Reid reception. She has just had a httle countess only three days old, General King of Baltimore, our consul general, also had a very brilliant reception on the jour de 'an. He is the prince of en- they know how to give grand diune; heard ono of the American colony congratu- lating another because he had a minis- ter who could afford to entertain, not like “Poor Mr. Washburn” or Mr. Noyes ‘who wore not rich, *“only great.” Mr. Reid’s keen intellect, good judgment, and talent, went for naught, “Why,"” she said, ‘‘even the count ot Paris called at the Morgans,” I suppose the Mor- gans fod well too. Cannot soma bright American genius write & book on ‘Snobs,’ a la Thackery | ‘We saw a good deal of the French people on New Years' day and we did ot discover they were any more joyous, or lively than a ;:rowd would be in our'own country on & hol- day. The hotels are no better than ours, not as . Youdo not get so much for your money. The shops, certaluly, are uot so handsome and very little cheaper. On the ruede la Paix ono finds the most wonderfully beautiful display of jewels, in the window, but when you eater the doors there is noth- ing but & gounter with a man benind, and SDRCO AS But though we have skies, mud and neither the good hotels or shops we have howe, we ha city filled with grand old laces, churches, monuments, wuseums, ibraries, rich in history, romance, and & tractive to all who w! to study. Iuis th old Paris that one wants to see—the Place de 1a Republique (once the Bastile), the Louvre not le grand Magazin du Louvre), the Lux- embourg, the Cluny palace, once the abode o kings and quoens, now with *Egalite, liberte et fratornite'’ over all. We find Parls %0 cold aud damp that we bave concluded to seek more congenial climes, and start tonight for the south of France. From Paris, passing through Dijon, Lyons aud other French towns, we did not stop unul we reached Avignon, at 5 o'clock in the evening, nearly starved. We had neglected to take tickets in Paris for our meals in the Restaurant du Wagon, and the train bewg an express did not stop. To fact ~ we ad not traveled enough in this country to kuow we had to buy meal tickets twenty-four hours ahead in order to get luylhlup 10 eat. F. sad: “Wouldn't you like to see a darky his head iuto this voiture and shout, ‘Dinner is now ready in the dining car' " “Yes,” 1 said; “I don't belleve I would wait for ‘Last call for din-n-er.’ " However, all bad things have an end, as also all good things, too, and about 9 o'clock we bad & dinuer with a bottle of very bad wine throwa iu for §1.50 each, for which w would have mobbed a Pullman conductor nad he asked us 75 cents. But when you get up in the morning and see the beautiful country, the valley of the Rhine, the river running out of its bed and overflowing the whole land, the old city with its papal pammce—for it was the resi- dence of the pope for many years —the old church, erected on the site of a pagan temple, and walk on tho Rocher du Dom, from where one has & magnificent view of the whole valloy and Pont d’Avignon, or rather the ruins, built by Saint Benezet at the end of the twelfth cen- tury, one forgets bad dinners and everything elsé 'disagreeable, Icame very near hauing an adventure at Avignon, and being urrested, 1 supposn. Iopened a door suddenly and spoilt the bonnet of A woman, who was just coming out., She began, talking, gesticulat- ulating and shaking her fist. I1did not say pardon me, but looked her cooly in the face and sald, I do not understand. The other part of my party began to apologize, but I cried, do not say a word of French or we are lost. ' Quite a crowd had collected and the woman began talking to the gens d’armes, but [ still persisted, in I do not understand. After a little we were allowed to get into the train ana my only revenge was hollowing out of the car as we moved off, a French sentence, for which I paid dearly by the suf~ fering of my party for fear wo might be de- tained when we reached Nimes. TLast summer, when Bob Thornburg was 1n Paris, he was constantly made indignant by the rough manner of some of the men to his women folks, and being a brave man like his gallant father, he longed to whip a French- Westill run along | tertainers and comes from tho state where | Man, and, finally, he did—pulled off his coat aund gave Mr, Frenchy a soand thrashing— paid his fine and told the judge, or whatever they call themselves hore, that ho would will- mgfl; pay the same fine every day to be al- lowed to “lick a frog-eater.” I should like to have had Bob along to have crushed some of those leering Fronchmen, As a general thing the people are very polite, 1 asked a question of a gentleman in Paris who walked quite uare out of his way to put me on the right street. And all tho ladies we ment take wnfinite trouble to give us information and entertain us, But, oh, my! if they would only talk a little slower, or woula only say {on or no to your question, instead of throw- ng out their R's atyou like cannon balls! In the cathedral at Avignon were two hand- some mouuments of Popes John and Benedict the XII, Behind the cathedral is a square tower, whioh was used as the prison of the inquisition, where in one month sixty-three innocent victims were executed. Avignon is one of the places that clalms to be the birth place of Petrarch. He lived here once with nis poor little wife while he was writing sonnets to his Laura. Chere 15 & quaiut old clock near the hotel vl here the figures strike the hours, There are also fine statues of Racine and Moliere, The musee contalns some very fine plot- ures, besides many curious ‘medallions, soulptares, eto., that we had not the time to see, ause we wish to hurr(y on to Nice, where we hope to find sunny skies and balmy air, and get rid of the bad colds we caught in Paris, And at last we are at Numes, I had deter- mined before we left home to see Nimes, be- cause I had read so much of the Roman an- tiquities to be found there, With the ex- ception of the Arena and the Maison Carree, which is a well preserved temple with thir; Corinthisn column i have been built by one of the Ciwsars, there is nothing of wuch interest. Marseilles is the largest seaport in France, on the Mediterranean. There are two forts at the entrance of the harbor, St. Jean and St. Nicholas, which protect the city, with the batteries on the high hiil, where stands the church of Notre Damne de 1a Garde. From the summit of' this bhill & m magoificent panorawa is spreaa before you of the city, the Corniche road, the Mediterranean, with the islands dotted in here and there, The whole of France seems under clouds— it rains everywhere. We hope you have had & merry Christmas and will have & happy ear, aud will thauk God tbat you live in tge nited States, in the state of Nebraska and iu the beautiful city of Omaha. & D, Cuoog PICTURES OF FOREIGN LIFE A Moorish Oty Oelebrated for the Fatal Beauty of Its Women, WANDERINGS ~ IN FAIR. MOROCCO Glowing Description of the Shores of Two Continents—1rhe Landing at Tangler —A Funny Little Strap— Inspiring Scenes, [Copyright, 1892.] TANGIER, Morocco, Jan, 11.—[Correspond- ence of Tue Bee]—At Tavira we had no difficulty in securing passage in a staunch coasting steamer, plying between Lisbon and Cadiz. After a day in the latter, once the emporium of the world and still the most winsome and beautiful city of Spain, wo sailed on a smaller vessel, littie better than a ferry-boat, for the African coast, touching for an hour at Tarifa, the southernmost city o continental Europe, but fiftcen miles southwest of Gibraltar, In this, less than 100 miles from Cadiz, there are innumerable scenes and memories of wondrous impressiveness. Cadiz itself wondrous island and the glorious Iberia of Anacreon and Homer, At the end of the fourth century it was the richest, most bril- liant and most profiigato olty i the world. Then the Goths and the Arabs possessed it, the latter for 500 years from tho eighth century, when Alfonso the Learned retook 1t n 1262, " What a vision of riches and pillage comes with vanishing sight of the beauti- ful city, when its American -treasure is re- membered, The old writers tell thatin the one year of 1702 the gold and silver imported at Cadiz from America amounted to §125,000~ 0003 and away back of this,when the English Lord Essex sacked and pillaged Cadiz, the booty amounted to forty great galleons and thirteen ships of war laden/with American was the Tarshish of bible hinwrg. Juno's In an hour's time you have come abreast of Cape Trafalgar. Your steamer's course 1s through the very waters where Nelson won his immortal yictory over theeombined fleets of Gravina and Villeneuve,. All the migh'y paintings you have seen, 4l the majestic monuments to Nelso, neath whose shadows you' have stood,all the thrilling prose and verse you have upon this in spiring theme, fill ana v.hr':ller mind and heart, until the air is dimmed with smoke, the hoarse bellowings of cannon: deafen you, the sheets of flawe from those two solid columns of war ships blind y the shrieks of wounded and dying the crash- ing of masts add conjured hor- ror—all for an instant, miy be; but no poet or painter has {ewer brought its glory and savagery to yousr eomprehension :g matchlessly as your own brief presence ore. “The Fatal Bealty of Its Women.” And now Tarifa is hed; Tarifa’ cele- brated of all citles of the Latin race for the fatal beauty of its women ; Tarifa where the besieging Moors put to death the son of Don Alfonso before his eyes in sn attempt to effect the city's surrender; where mighty battles between the kings of Castile and Spain against the Maors were fought be- neath its walls; where once 4,000 Roman sons came and took to lhemllvg their pick of Spanish women; whese the Berbers first met the dispirited ies of Roderick, last of the Goths; @ with its scores of towers and gates, labaryn e streets, bal- conies hidden behind massesdo! flowers, and its balf Spanish, f Moorish scenes and life which tas and tempt ravishiogly to dallying and del From this point, as your course is the southwest for Tungier almost straight across the strait of Gibraltar, the scene on every hand is one of matchless beauty and graudeur. Hack to the northwest siretches the Bpanish cosst line to Trafalger, low et to | Lying along theses, out with a background of undulating foothlls, breaking into deep gorges, and capped by lofty sierras, the whole checkerexr by vineyards and dotted with cities and hamlets in the distance as white as flakes of snow. Back across the waters to the northeast looms gray old Gib- raltar, 8 line of fishing villages, arsenals, quags and moles at its base like ‘& slender ribbon of foam, its thousands of threatening cannon ahove hidden and summitted by ter- Taces bright and vines and gardens fair. A Glowing Pen Plcture, Before you is Africa, warm and glowing be- neath & midwinter sun. Away to the south- ©ast is the shadowy veak of Ape's Hill, at whose base Ceuta lies. A grand and diversi fied coast stretches westward, past as yet invisible Tangier, to Cape Spartel, the north- westernmost point in Africa. Portions of the coast are grandly precipitous. Again great forests sweep from noble beights into slumbrous valleys which undulate softly to the sen. The lights and shades are strange. The green of the middle strait blends into a rosy puce towards land, this into a brilliant blue further on, and the coast line at the water's edge se like a thread of lustrous onyx. Abovae this, brown; then purple, then emerald, and boyond thero is @ glowing uf faint orange, as though the valloys pnlgubly flung back the sunlight which lingered lov- ingly above, Beyond this line of tender urple, jagged with foathory, misty fronds. "his is where the Atlas mountains are. And then between the mountain passes and peaks and the sky is a faint thread of saffrony pale pink, somothing like a gauze of lavender laid on & band of roses, That gleam of color flashes the mental vision to vhe vast Sahara and the far Soudan. Feasting with eager and selfish delight upon the glorious shores of two continents, I bad lost sight of honest Dobrado; Dobrado who was to bave rewurned to his pluce by the babbling fountains of Lisbon, from Bejo, should 1 persist in tramping thence vo Tavira aad the sea; Dobrado who was now-sworn servitor and friend; Dobrado broad of grin as Gargantus, and of beam as Quixote's no less faithful squire; Dobrado whom [ found with lowering eyes and hideous face, as rapt as I had beeu, scowling with unutterable hate at the fair land of the Moors, In his attitude, looks, mutteriogs and unconscious gesticulations, increasing every moment in rapidity ana intensity, the whole story of the irrevocable vengefulness of Christlan against Moslem and Moslem against Christian was told. It was a theme for poet; subject for artist—Europe theimplacable foe of Africa; the cross and the crescent; incarnate hate, the outgrowth of incarnate love, burning to annihilate incarnate ticism; Christian savagery thirsting for the life of Moslem barbarism, Hereditary Hatreds, I touched the Gallegan gently upon the shoulder, and my eyes sought his inquir- ingly. he trembled and was woefully con- fused for 8 moment. Then his great blue eyes saddened and he said softly and slowly, as though his heart meanwhile traveled a long and bitter wuf': *‘There is not a choza (cabin) from Finis- terre to Palencia in which there does not haog sovie forefather's gaita, or hoz (slokle or sword upon the wall, under which the Gallogan boy is not daily brought to swear vengence for the muraers of the Moor!" ' As [ pondered over Dobrado’s dramatic ac- tion and words, I could not but feel that, after all, it is & pleasant thing to live, as we Americans do, »0 far removed from the end- less mental, if not physical, clashings of these awful hereditary religious hatreds of the centuries. But just now we have rounded Cape Mala- bar and Tangier lies before us like & mass of foam churned in the seething tides of the Gibraltar strait, and tossed into structural semblance upon the mountain-rimwed sbore of the bay. Soon the mass of white resolved itself into splatches of more brilliant white and seams aud checkers of shade; then into white cubes of varying dimensions. Gradu- ally projecting corners and helgnts of snowy masoury take shape to the eve; aud then the pale pinks, yellows and blues of the painted walls blend'iuto & rosy whole, broken only by & slender square tower, with glistening Pporcelain sides, sud one Luge, rulnous mass, to which the city .seems to lead in ciant housetop steps. The one is_the tower from the minaret of which the Moslem muozzin calls the faithful to prayers, crying Moham- med and Allah to the four quarters of the earth, The other 1s the Kasba or castle, where the heartless Kirke, during the brief Enelish occupancy of Tangier which gaye tho world at least the famous ‘‘Pepy’s Diary,” was guilty of more wanton crimes and butcherics than werae ever charged to fiercest and fellest tyr- ant Moor. Landing at Tangler, Thore Is no mole, quay or pier at Tangier; 8na we came o anchor near the shelving shore, where the harborside traffic goes on with wondrous din, and the Moorish customs officers squat ubon their haunches transa 1ng their duties in severesilence and gravity. On either side wore numberless fellucas,with strange craft from the lower Mediterranoan, and pernaps two score of French, Spanish, English_and Dutoh schooners, barks and brigs, Rather a lonesome harbor seems that of Tangier; and the two huge British men- of-war, which had been lying here sevoral days 1n view of possiblo danger to British intorests, from the threatening revolt of in- terior tribes, who seem always to be about to ba doing someching unrleuum, brought again the keen and humiliating longing I huve had in an hundred other ports, that the American government possessed sufficlent character and dignity to make our flag & titbe as well respected as any other that floats the seas, Getting ashore at Tangier 1s not altogether a statoly performance, Scarcely had our steamer anchored when there came swarm- ing over the rail from all quarters a horde of swarthy turbaned harbor porters, dressed in the natural black leathorn skin of Moroo- co, many with huge rings in their ears, danglets and banglots of tinkling metals, and bright snshes, bareleggod and barefooted, or shod with loose sandals; all as uncanny and weird a lot as cver looted a ship and butch- ered its crew in the good old days of Moorish piracy and piliage, Formeriy these black imps grabbed elers bodily, lifted them astride vheir backs or shoulders and waded ashore with them, Recently a dimiuvtive landing stage has been built, but the treatment is quite as ferocious, Ordinarily the stranger's belong- ings are seized and pitched into a half dozen different small boats and himself made tne ibject of a flerce scram- which the victor pulls bls victim into still and rushes him to the landing te bribe must be paid for the recover! h article, and a final heavy tributeIs exacted for one's own liberation, Precisely the same form of piracy is repeated on your way o & hotel with your own effects ; but once within the great gate leading into the city from the harbor side, and you are fer from annoyance and exaction than in y other Moorish or Christian ecity in the world, A Funny Little Scrap, Good fortune had more than once attended me through the alert ana cupning services of Dobrado, and it stood me now in good stead, gotting me on African soil unre- lieved of @as much as a copper flu; although his rugged diplomacy at first sub- jected me to some disquiet. Staading n Ivont of me, as each furious onslaught by a porter was made, and without spparent effort of bis giant strength, first with bis open right hand and then wilk his left, he sent African, Moor, Berber and what vot, alise sprawling to the steamor's deck. Each jumped nimbly to hus feet #ud slunk humbly away. Suddealy a fellow, swarthy as 8 Moor, with hair aud matted eard, black, curly and glossy as Astrakhan wool, ug from the crowd full upon Dobrado. i1sions of rage- dies, dungeons in the Kasba, consvlar courts of inquiry and interuatioual complicatious flashea before me. The two clinched; parted clinched again; and, after various alarming contortions, feil in what still seems to be a terrific embrace together upon tueir kuees. Tren such kissiug and embracing began as I had never before scen between man aud mac, man and womau, or stranger still, between WOmAn and Woman, Soou lhe“l.“mu utterly breathless but ra- @lant, Dol Lalf dragged the hulking fellow to me, aud after tho lauter had em- braced my still trombling lknees, Dobrado said avologetically but laconically : “I fearod I would not, meat him, senor. He is my kinsman, from Mondonedo, besido the Riade Foz, You kuow tho Gallegans go wherever there is money for toil. He s half-time portero und half-time doos some service for a merchant here who has_truffio with Valladolid.” ~ And then, hesitantlys “Perhaps senor could find himsélt useful in Tangier " Back Windows of Forelgn Life, “Senor” could and did. *‘Senor,” the writer, shuns great hotels in his wanderingsy loves to know the lowly, and, from their standpoint of thinking, feeling and condi- tion, 10 thus look throtigh the back windows of foreign life and ways, No one can wholly tell another what Tan- gier is like within 1ts anciont city walls, It has no street geography. Though it contalns scarcely 20,000 souls, its own inhabitants get lost within it; and thero is but one_streot or way in which the stranger is sufo from abso- lute wreck of consciousness of location, This extends upward from the harbor side to the Soc-de Barra, the greut ontside market place of Tangior, just where you leave the oity on the way to Fez, Morocco's capital. Once & dozen yards away from this uarrow thoroughe faro of bazaars, and the prompting to prayer to Allah or Allat’s subjocts for succor is & quickly realized exporience, But for Dobrado and his kinsman, 1 should haye turned hack, vassea the night outside the great city gate upon tho shore boneath the stars and some handy tarpaulin, and in- continently fled the place upon the next day' steamer for Gibraitar. As 1t was, kept close to my Gollegan guides, Tne evoning had fallen before we had en- tered the uu.{;. The sioglé thorough- fare was a Dbabel of donkeys, camels, goats, water carriers, bare legwed African soldiers and merchauts closing their tiny shops. Tho din of “‘balak !—balak ! —balak 1"’ the equivalent for our “look out!” shricked by thousands of voices in the choky, chasm- like streot, was deafening, Scores of times on our half-mile way we wore ground against buildings, wedged between camels or flung into pitch black archways, After an hour’s struggle, we turned from this main thoroughfare and plunged in and upward among & maze of streets, 5o Narrow that opnosing walls could be touched by outstretched hands, The silence hore was as #tartling as had been the din. Now and then perhaps, & ghostly figure flitted by, Here and there was heard the wimpling sound of water from overflowing fountains, Occasionally a mufiled form asleep beneath an archway was stumbled upon. Not & light was séen in the whole distance, Bup for the stars overhead, it was like groping torchless through the catacombs, Inthe Land of the Moors, At last Dobrado’s kinsman halted, With the hilt of his heavy knife, almost as ponds ous as & Cuban machete, he knocked loudly upon & barred and bolted door. A Llack face pecred savugely from lln{ wicket, There was parley which sounded like a mixture of the Romany tongue aud Gallegap Spanish, The wicket closed and soon an old man clad in flowing robes, attended by the African,re- turaed. We were admitted to what scemed the dungeon antechamber to s larger dun- goon. Directly Dobrado’'s kivsman suowed tho way up some slippery stone steps. Kol lowing a long gallery we soon emerged into the open air. Thence we were oon- ducted along what nx:runmd w be s crumbling parapet, au: I was finally led into a room perfectly bare of furniture. The place séemed to be s de- tached structure set upon & housetor, abut~ ting against the walls of a still loftier abode, Some flue rugs were brought for a pallet. The African almost as soon appeared with a cut brass lamp, & cup of tea, in which mint leaves wero floating and a small roll of white bread. He deposited these in the miadle of the floor and disappeared. Dobrado, who was to pass the night with bis kinsmen, showered tho blessings of God upon me ani left, 1 relished my food, put out my antique lawp, wrapped myself in my splendid ru aod passed my first night o the land of the Moors iu sweel aud dreamless llsv?. + Eooas L, Waksvam
