20 MID PLEASURES 1IN PARIS fights and Oelstrations of tho Eastertide in ths Oity on the Reine. HOW THEY IMPRESSED MRS, MARY D.CROOK Work of American Artists at the Salon— A Quotation from the tailie’s Lutest Military Ernest Renan's Digital Defects, aro— nrvel— Panis, May 13.—[Correspondence of Tns Dee. )—We arrived in Paris in time to wit- ness tho closing scenes of Passion week and the glories of Baster. At Notre Damo on Holy Thursday, the procossion, headed by tho cardinal in is gorgeous rooes, followed by bishops, priests and acolytes, marchod around the church blessing the bread and wineand the congrogation. 100, Who wero packed like figs in a box in this vast church, At Saiot Roch we weul to ses the washing of feet by the bigh dignitary, a fovble old man, who as an act of humiliation washed the feet of twelve street urabs. 1 wa appointed at the meageraess of tho tion in the churches, but at the American Eplscopal church in the Avenue d’Alma tho tioral decorations wero exquisitely beautiful. During ISaster week thero were many fetes, The einger-bread fote, which hus been going on for two weeks, has been sudly interrupted by the dynamite scare. Only half a squaro 1rom where wvo are lodged—and we live 1n the louse Victor Hugo occupled many years: one room, which was his work room, 18 padded to aeaden all sound—na house was olown u well, not exactiy blown up, but tho windo: were blown out and the house rendered un- fe. And only a day or two sivce another explosion took place. Peoplo wero very auxious and looked forward tothe first of May with some anxiety. Tho government cer- tainly hud sonio fears of & collision betweon the police and people, They brought imore troops into the city and there seemed %o bo double guards everywhere, Month of Marringes. Right after Easter is evidently the favorite time for marrying in Paris, and Saturday the favorite duy. The Bois du Boulogne is full of bridal parties on that duy. Yester- aay we sat for hours at the Cuscide restau- rant watching them come aud go. They mostly drove in omuibuses, the whole party, bride and groom and friends 1 the same omnibus, When they were a littie higher 10 rank, the bride and groom woula have a carriage to themselves. The brides were always in white, satin,silk or a plain delaine, always a white veil, orange Wreath and white slippers, No French girl would con- sider herself properly married if sho had not » white veil and orange blossoms. The bridal party would descend from their vehi- cles, enter Lho restaurant, drink the health of tho happy pair, sometimes in champagne, sometimes 1n claret,notseldom they only had beer, for they were of all kinds and condi- tions. Then each couple would g0 down to the cascade and pass under the falling water. To pass under the cascado thoy believe in- sures.them long life, peaco aad huppiness, ‘Their fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grmmmolherl, ay, thoir great-graudparonts ave dono 'it, and it 1s & _custom that must not be neglected. Whether tho act brings sunshine into their lives or not, certainly it brings pleasure and merri- ment at the time. Such luugbing and screaming, such jollity, such an entire free- dom from care enlivens even the onlookers. I noticed ouve httle bride whose wedding gown was of tho simplest, whose wreath and veil of the commenest and whose course, ved hands wero ungloved—poor, patheti hands, that showed how hard she must hav worked. Shehad married a course, ungainly looking ouvrier who sat at tho table with his arm around her puffing the smoke of a ciear a0 her face. She was vory pretty and looked up 1nto his eyes with absolute adoration, Election Dayand Labor Day, T have been going on for the last in Parfs, but it has baen so cold that one has not been ablo to seo the protty “ tollots. The handsomo dames are swathed in furs that conceal tueir dainty toilets, or they are hid away awaiting more propitious weather, or perhaps the first of May when the Salon opeus, which is tomorrow. The first of ' May is Labor day, and, unfortunately,also eicction day. Fuony idoa to have an eicction on Sunday, is it nott f nd very gnfortunate that the workmen’s ele should come the same day. I do mnot thinlk therc is going to be any trouble. The unexpected is what bappers and the whole world is expecting troublo in Paris, I heard of a cook who told her mistress she necd not boin such o tremor of dread of the Ist; it would be on the 15th of May that Paris would tremble, Undoubtedly pcople, particularly strangers, are flocking from Paris, The privee and princess of Wales still linger, however, and I do not know any one whohas more 1010so than they. It is on the lst of May that all the fountains of Versailles play, a sight well worth seeing, but webave been warned to remain quietly in the house that any, because all Paris is on the qui vive in anticipation of un emeute. Paris is looking 1ts best just now. ~From tho Place Carousal to the Arch de I'Etoilo tho horse chestnuts aro in full bloom and the air is redolent with sweot perfume, while the oyo Is gratified with a beuutiful sym- phony in green and white, ' No Color Liue in Europe. Europe seems to bs a paradise for our colored vrethren. Today when we were o at tho restauraut at the Bois a vic- toria drove up, and from it stepped & negro man dressed in the latest style, hght over- cont, gray panteloons, frock coat, his im- mense hands encased in pearl-colored gloves, stitched with black, and on his curly nair one of those funny little straight brimmed silk hats the artists and dilettanti affect bero. He took the next table to us, lit a cigarotte, apd while awaiting his coffeo and coznne began to ogle all the protty dis- or - women noar him, Ono of the astou- ishing thwgs to us, wo south ern Americans, is. the deferenco and and admiration these conunental womsen pay to the negro, and Iam told thac itis even moro s0 in Kngland, A friend of miue known in literary circles in New York—who ‘believes very much in the polidical rights of the colored man though he would strenuously oppose tho right of a white woman to vote, be she ever 50 well educated—was inyited by an English lady of nobility to escort her to & reception ot the bouse of” a duchess. When he arrived atthe houseof bis fiiend he found he was not only to escort lady P———, but a colored woman who, dressed in the most ap- proved style, loaded with jewels, was tbe most sought after and recnived more atten- tion thun any other lady at the bull. At the Opentng of the Saton, ‘We wero 8o fortunate as to receive an in- vitatlon to the ‘vernisagen,” varnish- wg day at the Sulon. The opening of the Sulon Is an event in Paris uot only to the Parisian, but to the "un\usnfl within bis gates”) Lu spito of the cold, gloomy day the beauty and fashion of the city turned out as wazll as the wit and intellect.” The great number of strangers, Eoglish and Awcricans predominating, showed thoy were not scared by the reports of an anarchisticuprising. ‘Thetoilets of the ladies were very oharming, for in spite of the weather thoy had donned thair spring fune cles.

Bisbing has a small picture called “Les Amies,” repre- senting two cows standing in a pool of water, shaded by u row of pollard willows, thesun- light flickeriug through the branches across the backs of the cows, who are licking each other's necks, Agothor very charming cat- tle picture is by Mr. W, morning on the Lowiands of Karten Lo Holland,"* n group of catule in various pos tions on the banks of a_canal, while thesun is just breaking through a fog, which eives a How: misty effect to the whole landscape, Mr. Honry Mosler sonds two viciures, one a large piciure of a wedding fesst in Brit- tany fn which thero ures, and the wholo are o great many fig- pieture is very attrac- tive, Irom far-off exas comes a rising artist. o camo to Paris only threo years avo, u boy of 0. Last year he exhibited four pictures, and this year he has & cauvas that has created L) great deal of favoravle criticism. Tho picture certainly touches the heart. It is called “The Innocent Victim.” Two Sistors of Charity have beon caving for a wounded soldier on the battlefleld; a stray bullet strikes oue of them, ana she lies sup- ported by tho other sister and the assistants. I cannot describo all the pictures of our Aalented countrymen and women, but 1 would like to send you a translation from the garo. It says: “In additionto her many other losses, i'rance is in danger of losing that supromacy in painting of which she was 50 justly proud in the time when masters were rare und received few pupils, * ¥ * What of the time when Sargeant was tho solo representative of America in the Salon of Paris, avd aven then only under the wxis of Carolus!

Tho look of sympathy on the faces of ths conquerors as they present arms, the noble ligure of Arch- duke John as he steps forward and scizes the nand of General Barbanegre, who has his head bandaged, and is pointing to his be- loved fellow combatants, are most wonder- fully depicted. The two drummers in tho foreground are most forcibly drawn. Above 18 the ruined wall of the city, the gato in solinters, This is one of tue fine pictures of tho century. 1 hopo we may have it in America, Another canvas which 1s the sensation of tho yoar is by Pierre Fritel, called “Les Conquerants,” it does not pleaso me, and 1 feol entirely unable to describe it, It repre- sents the great warriors of the past, Alex- ander, Cwsar, Charlemagne and Napoleon, mounted on their prancing stecds, flags and pennons flying, while on each side there is a vista of ghastly corpses. There are many remurkablo portraits, The one of Ernest Renan by Bonnart 1s marvel- ously lifelike, Reaan has a wonderfully 1n- teresting face, He hus alsu very ugly fingor nails that could nev or have been manicured. Munkacsy, the colebrated Hungarian ar- tist, has only one picture in the salon, “Une Grande Dame,” 1n white satin decollete with arms bare, scated in a rose-colored velvet chair, in a room filled with old furniture, so exquisitely painted us to take from the por- trait the attention it merits. A very remark- able portrait is one of Popo Leo XIIL, not alone for the wonderful likeness, but the beauty of the coloring, and the graceful ar- rangement of the draperies. Bouguereau has a large canvas, “Lo Guipler.” It is evena little more nude than his others. Tho sculpturos, which I have left myself no time to aescribe, are admiraoly placed in a room on the grouxd floor, right undef the largo skylight, surrounded ' by paims, ferns and otber large plants, so that you scem to be wandoring through a beautiful park while viewing them, The rival salon of the Champ de Mars opens its ddors for ‘‘varnishing’ day on the 7th, where, we aro told, there will be 'many finer pictures. 1 cannot imagine more beauty than we bave seen the last few days in the Salon of '92, though the critics say ivis not as good as last year.

RESORTED TO LAW AND POLITICAL TACTICS Major Furay, In a Reminiscent Mood, Tel a Story That 1s Unique, If Not Bristing with the kar Marks of Truth, At tho entertainment at Creighton college a few evenings ago Major John B. Furay was called upon for a littlo story of the inci- dents and experiences of the early days in Omaha und vicinity, and as that is a subjuct on which he has an inexhaustible fund of information, of coursa ho responded. He gave the audience the following bivof al- leged history, but whether 1t is fact or some of the major’s clever fiction the reader must o the judge: The early experiences, trials and tribula- tions of tho ploneers of our country, while al- \ays lntoresting, are nover fully appreci- ated, nor has a hundredth part of the ovents of those “early days" been passed down to us, 50 that as we get them they merit presers vation, On the whole, the people who composed our first settiers in the west were by no means ignorant—each settlement had its pro- vortion of lawyers, doctors, colonels und judges, with occasionally o clorgy man, and, s in all_communities thus miscelianeously composed, not a few had come wosi to ac- quire a prominence not possible where they wore better known, ‘They had come west to grow up with the country. Withal, thoy differod but little from thoso we pow meet, save, perhaps, that tho proportion of men with aspirations for distinetion was much greater. They were all very poor, of course, but bright and sharp and quite well informed upon parliamentary rules, ahd no opportu- nity was ever neglected, by any one of these ambitious people, of gotting to the front, and the torrible rivalry that existed for promi- nent recognition o every possibie occasion was often very amusieg. Quite recently a prominent citizen, noting the local official opposition to the funeral proposed by the United States courts for our last Arbor day, remarked: This suzzests a rominiscence of the early days. Along in the first half of tho '50s wis employed by a company to edit ono of the little weekly pupers that we seemod to need to boom our town of Omaha. Times wereawfully dull,and news 1tems scarce,and one day along in the early spriugtime, Isatin my little office, wondering what on earth I could write about that would be of intorest to my readers, when a coarsely dressed, tail, middle aged, solemn, agricultural looking man, accompanied by two wolfhounds, walked into the office and inquired for the editor. Feeling sure I had another sub- scriber, I simoly pointed to my own Losom in a silent, dignified sort of manner. “Do 'you brint Rockport news in your paper!” asked tho solemn looking man, vather timidly approachiug the dignified editor of the pioneer journal. *‘Why yes, of course we do, when we can get at it. " What do you want{" “Why, you see I live up between Rockport and Desoto, and t'other day some of the nelghbors got up & funoral to pass off the afternoon, and I was among ’em of course, and I thouzht maybe you'd like to say some- thing about it in your paper.” 5 ‘“\Voll, was there anything peculiar about i ‘‘No, I can’t hardly say that there was. still thore was some little hitches, hereand there, along, but we finally pulled her through all right. You seo tho corpso was our only clergyman, and times up there are pretty snug this spriog, and we didn’t have another parson to preach over him, so we had 1o make it a sort of a popular funeral, and all hands took a shy at it. and this made the proceedings, along in places, very inter- esting!” “That is rather a novel proceeding,” T mused, **what did you do?” *‘Abom! Wall, thié sisters’ brought 1n some artificial posies, which they borrowed from their last year’s bonnets, because the natural flowers haven’t sprouted yet, and they fixed him up in pretty wood style. Then we neld a meeting in Judge Kennard’s barn aud tem- porarily orgavized with Judge Perkins in the chair, and we appointed & committeo on prayers and a committes on hymns and'a committec on specchies and an executive com- mittee, and it was through them committees mostly that we got the hitches, **You see, when the funeral come off and we were al standing solemniy around the coftin, the presiding oficer called, in a relig- ious munuer, for the report of the committee on prayer as a starter and Judge Tumbleson prosented the report, which was a very able effort considering that the committee were all inexperienced green hands at the busi- ness, aud the prayer called out considerabie enthusiasm until Solon Sprinkle the consta- ble, presented a minority report and moved u substitution of the minority for the majority prayer. Then while this motion was pending, the illd!" made an able specch of thirty minutes n defense of kis prayer, and he went for the constable, because, at-tho last election, he had carried water on both shoulders and Eud made several pledges that he badnot opt. “*Fne constable, in defense, said that had nothing to do with it at all, the bald, simple question was, which prayer would do the greatest good to the biggest number; and he submitted that his prayer knocked the judge's higher than a kite, and was some- thing that the whole community, of what- ever political cowplexion, had reason to be proud of, as it was run' on a broad gauge basis. “Ihen Lawyer Skinner, ono of the minor- 1ty, quoted several decisions in favor of his prayer, and he proved that Judge Tumble- son had drawn down upon himself the con- domnation of the wholo settiement by his course in that ‘Claims club lynching’ “case. “Thirgs wero gotting red hot, so 1 moved that we lay the whole prayer question on the tablo, which was carfied on a aivision by a voteof 73 to 13.” 30 you didu’t have any prayers?" N--0, we didu’t have any prayers. Then the chairman called for the report of the com- mittee on hymns, when Jim Chapman raised the point of order that the organization of the funeral was only temporary, and stated that tho executive committee had a list of officers whicn thoy wisbed to present for the anent organization, The chairman promptly ruled hum out of order as he was too late—having gone into the funeral be must abide by the organiza- tion as it stood. Mr, Cnapman got mad and asked his friends to follow him to the school- house and see whether they couldn’t get jus- tice, and about (m".?' of them weat.” ‘What!

THE DEMUCRATIC WIGIWAM, The Wigwam in which the Democratis Nationul convention will be held in Chi- cago will seat 18,000, and 2,000 more, it is estimated, will be able to crowd vhem- selves in the aisies and corridors. It is one of the besy and most commodious structures ever crected for such a pur- pose. » Tho Wigwam isa rectangular building 400 feet long and 250 feet deep. It is situated on the lake front, facing west on Michigan avenue, and extends from Washington street to Madison. The ex- terior is severly plain, the managers thinking thav elaborate ornamentation of a building to be used for three or four days and then torn down would be a necdless waste of money. Room is the great desideratum in such u building, and the Wigwam will surprise visitors by its vastness. ey Special attention is terior arrangements. There are so many exits that the building can he emptied in a few minutes. The main entrance will be from Michigan avenue, and tho stage is being erected on the west sido of the building, almost mid- way between Washington and Madison streets. The speakers’ stand extends forward 2 considerable distanco, and to the right and to the left of the stand are 800 seuts which will bo occupied by representatives of the leading news: papers of the country. Under the stage tho telegrapic - instruments will be placed, so that dispatches may be sent out aimost the minute they are ready for the telegraphers. ¥ given to the in- P Immediately in front of the speakers’ stand the 840 delegates will be seated. A corridor twelve feet wide on either side of the speskers’ stand runs from the body of the hall to the committee rooms, which are situated under the galleries on the east side of the mfam- moth building. The seats in the rear of the delegates rise gradually until they reach a level twenty-four feet abovo the sidewal'c Tho gallery ex- tends around the building in a semi- circle, ending at the plgtform. There are three committeo rooms, ench forty- eight by seventy-two feet. Three exits will be provided for delegates only, 0 that they may not be inconvenienced by the crowd w{zilo entering or leaving the building. » "% e The portion uf the main floor not oc- cupied by the dalegates will be divided into sections, which will be occupied by the general public. It was intended to seat only 15,000 people, and this plan would have been carried out had not a dispute arisen over the distribution of the tickets. The national committee thought tho local committee could get along very comfortably with 3,000 seats, and agreed to be content for it sown part with 12,000. Then the Jocal managers, in order to recoup themselves for the expense of providing for a convention which they had. not sought, concluded toerect a building which would allow them 6,000 soats. As seats are in grent demand at $20 apiece, the committee expects to come out of the enterpriss without any expense for the building. e Edward P.

Tho lake freightage has hoon done at an average charge to shipners of 13 mills per ton-mile. The shipments by railroad, on the contrary, aro averaged by the interstate commerce commission at 9.22 mills per ton-mile; so that thero was a saving on each ton transported by this water-road over tho average charges by railrond for an equal dis- tance of $1.48, or an aggregate saving to be divided vetween the producers and consumers of this country of more than 815,800,000, As the government hhs approoriated not quite $30,000,0C0 for the improve- ment of the ¢reat lakes, their harbors, and the rivers that run into them, tho people of this country received through the cheapened distribution made possi- COLLEGE OF THE SACRED HEART DENVER, COLORADO. e CONDUCTED BY T:E FATH ‘RS 07 THE SOCIETY OF JESUS.
