It Is best to take Paris as one should take very rich small portions and at interval'. Dizziness, satiety, and sometimes disgust are apt to follow a too free indulgence and a too long continuance in this Babylon the Great. Your correspondent is always glad to come to Is not un(requently plad to leave it again.

There is a proverb that when good Americans die they go to nevertheless it is not a paradise. Genuine happiness is not often found here- but great, exquisite, and tumultuous pleasure and delight may if have the necessary amount of tv.vnty fran to pay for it. Your correspondent came over here from London in March, to see how the exhibition building was being constructed, and remained a week. He returned ag 4" on the first of April, saw the ceremonial opening of tho great show, and remained ten days, lie is noV again here, and beholds the exhibition iu all its glory, and Paris in her greatest pride and beauty It is well orth coming to see. The ride from Londou to Paris is well worth the twenty shillings that it 7 ffcxbibitioa is cheap at the two francs per day that will admit you to its Paris, out side of the exhibition, is cheap at any price.

And you can enjoy it at any price. You can live comfortably hero, even no five francs a day, including all your ex peuses. You can live splendidly lor three peuses. You can live splendidly lor three times that sum. You can live royally, with all the magulfioence ot au with some enjoyments that never dreamed of, for twenty-five francs day.

if you prefer the cheap and nasty style," you can go to a certain place on the Strand, iu London, where for thirty shillings (say seven dollars and a quarter,) you can buy a ticket that will bring you to Paris, board you here for seven days, and take you home to London again. There is no use in attempting to describe the exhibition. It is too big. bare catalogue of its contents tills a book of 1200 pages. To convey any adequate idea of it, a a whole, would require the labor of months.

I have observed that some of the Londou correspondents say that the exhibition is comparatively a it is not so very grand after all. This is simply said because it is too great, and is intended to cover their mortifications in beiug polled to abandon the idea of adequately describing it. The magnitude of the affair overwhelms them, and as they sink beneath it they utter this little cry to show that they are not at all alarmed. They remind one of that tabled person who, seated on the peak of the highest mountain, felt the aters of the deluge rising about him, and beheld Noah dose the door of his ark against him. "I don't care about getting in," said this reckless do not think there will be much of a This, however, may be said of the exhibi tion.

The exhibition building itself not so hopelessly and pain fully ui ground parceled out to the various nations of the earth, are beautiful, and in wandering through them the visitor is delighted surprised, interested, instructed, amused at every step. There have bee great fairs before now, in which the natural, Industrial, and artistic productions of every land beneath tho 6uu were displayed and the exhibition building here contains nothing but such a display, although on a greater scale than ever before attempted. But until now there has never been a spot on which one might behold the world itself in miniature. That is what the grounds around the exhibition building are It is as if some one with Aladdin's lamp caused a house, street, a temple, or a tomb to be takeu up from every civilized country oh the earth, and from some that are uo't civilized, and had planted them here, pe pling them with their native ihabitants, and enabling the visitor, for the ridiculously low price or one franc, to survey mankind from Indus to the Pole. While I confess that 1 care comparatively little for what is inside of the exhibition building, I avow the constant delight and amusement llhavederived from this outside show, aud day after day journey from Russa to Japan, and from China to Turkey, "stopping at all the intermediate places," as the steamboat advertisewnents say, breakfasting with a Polack, rhiug with an Arabian, dining with a Mandarin of two tails, and winding up by driuking coffee and smoking a pipe with a uiaflgnanff mid turbaned Turk, and have not got tired with it yet.

I know very well that tyhlle part of this foreign display is genuine, so mg of it is fictitious; but so long us the deception is well kept up it answers hilt as well. When I go to the theatre 1 do not make myself unhappy because I happen to know that after the curtain has fallen I will meet Prince Hamlet iu the coffeehouse owr the way, drinking porter and offering to bet against the favorite for the Derby race; and. to-day, when one of the confidentially informed mo that he remembeied having watted on me when I was lying ill in a tavern in street, Dublin, where he was a waiter, did not feel aggrieved. The world Is full of It often better to laugh at it than to augrv with it. inte resting as I find this portion of the exhibition to be, it does not tuffice to win me away from the contemplation of Paris itself.

All great cities have a fascination for me. They attract me, perhaps, by that mental magnetism that is generated by these vast assemblages of men and women thrown together and stirred up by all the passions that are awakened by fierce and continuous struggle for fame, for glory, tor wealth, I and for bread. I suppose that it is generally I believed that Paris is the most corrupt and wicked city in the world. It may be so, but I sometimes question it. There is this to be remembered that while London, for instance, hides her wickedness, covers it up beneath the cloak of hypocrisy often, suffers it not to show its face by day.

permits it only to appear stealthily by night, restrains it by law, and frowns upon it by custom, Pans does the very contrary. She displays her wickedness to the full light of day; if she covers it all, it is not to conceal it orAo cause it to assume the garb of virtue, but simply that it may be dec ked iu robes that will more fully display its charms. Here vice ot every kind is made attractive, but it is not called virtue. Sometimes, iu an afternoon, I go to the Bois de Boulogne. There is a beautiful carriage drive around the little is a delightful walk for pedestrians.

Here, if the day is fine, you may see the leading Yturs of "that infernal sisterhood of shame which exists in every city, but which in all other places than Puri? is cither ignored or kept from public view. Here it is recognized as a necessary element of society, legalized, and protected: but at ti same time regulated and kept within bounds. Here are the demi-monde, the lorettes, the quatre monde, and the dames du lac. Some of them rival in the splendor of their equipages and the richness of their toilette the proudest and noblest women of the empire. You may see their carriages surrounded by young noblemen, by generals, by men high in the world of and literature.

The present queen of the Dames du Lac is Cora Pearl. She is an English girl. She came to Paris ten years ago to seek her fortune. She found it. She has had princes, lords, hankers, warriors, and at least one archduke as her lovers.

She attracts them no less by her wit than by her beauty. For a while she controlled the fashionable world of Paris, and consequeiitf all other lauds. The papers pubh her mut-s.

Every month ivc thousand illfgetimate children are left it the foundling hospitals of this city, and rerv day. every hour of the day almost, the rime of infanticide is committed.

It is not least it is not punhed as one. When a Parisian is reehed, as he sometimes is, for the manin which prostitution is encouraged, licensed, and rewarded here, lie has an anrer ready that often confounds his mentor.

A Political "lilt" In Monroe-The Major Holds a Recoast rue lion Meetlujf-Only One Orator, und he JLed Home by Sensible Colored National Flax Displayed In Town, etc. of the Monhoe, June 1. 1SC7. To-day there has been quite au excitement among the ex-rebels in this little town. G.

W. AIcCranie, the mayor of Alonroe, aud several drunken fellows persuaded a poor ignorant negro named Henry Barns, after getting him naif drunk, to make stump speech on the public square in front of the mayor's office, for the purpose of ridiculing the government aud the late reconstruction acts of Congress. They induced auother negro to go all through the town ringing a bell aud crying that there was to be a great speech made by a candidate to the rump Congress of the United States. A very few icople assembled, aud most of those were he mayor's friends. The speaker mounted the stand, which was built of a hogshead placed on end.

The mayor took his stand immediately in the rear'of the speaker to prompt him and tell him what to say. The speaker talked about half an hour, or as long as the whisky lasted that he had taken, when a negro oman went to him and toll him to get down aud not make a fool of himself. He then concluded to quit. The mayor and his confederates claim great credit for conceiving and carrying out this scandalous affair. bhortly affter the registers opened here they unfurled the stars and stripes, in the shape of a small American flag, ami some of the Union citizens stated that it was the first one that had been seen here since the United States troops were withdrawn.

Colonel Tisdale, the newly appointed collector, is going to follow the example of the registers, by uufurliug a large flag, aud I hope that some of our officials will take courage aud follow his example. LK INNER. FROM BOX A I. DSO.V VII.LE. Da etardly Attempt Break l'p Repub lluiu L'lubw.

HARTSUFF. A A. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Colored School Exhibition An exhibition of the free colored echool, Miss Edmouia G. llighgute is the teacher, was held yesterday afternoon' at St.

James chapel, Roman street. This school is composed of about one hundred and twenty-five indigent pupils, supported by the funds of the Louisiana Educational Relief Association, which Rev. John Turner is president. The appearance of the scholars Nvas excellent. They were neatly attired and gave evidence that the doctrine had been inculcated into their minds, that ''cleanliness is next to godliness." Miss Clarkson was there with quite a number of the pupils of her school, tie- exhibition of which was reported a short time since.

Among the others present were Dr. Harrison and Mr. Brennan, of the freedmen's bureau. Rev. John Rev.

J. B. Smith. Dr. ('.

31. Wiekliffe, Captain Lewis, and J. W. 31enard. The exercises commenced with singing by the whole school, followed by the recita lion of the Lord is my shepherd." Miss Victoria A.

Martin, a mouitress of the school, then read the following: OUK 8CHOOL. "Our is a very nice school, and we have a very kind teacher who loves us very much and we all love her very dearly. Our school was very small, but now we have improved very much in appearance, order, and also in our studies, and we have increased very much in our number. Our school has all appearance of an improving school. And all this we owe to those irood friends who so kiudly opened our school.

Those friends form the Louisiana Educational Relief Association. The president of that association is the Rev. John Turner, who has so often visited our school and always has some good advice to give us, aud surely if we follow his advice we will grow up good men and women aud be respected by all who know us. He says a great deal about being neat and clean told us that when he was a very little boy ho had no one to care for him, and that lie'had often tak off'his coat and washed it at night a id smoothed it do with his hands, in order to be clean, advised our bovs to do the same. have recently received two from the association, for which very grateful.

We are also indebted to the freed men's bureau lor the rent of our school building, and the furniture of the same. We have received from Professor Cruttenden, of Cold Water, Michigan, an arithmetical chart, which greatly benefits us. Onr school is the only free school in the city at present to which colored children are admitted, but 1 hope before the time of falling leaves there will be many supported fiy the city public school fund. "Some of our greatest men and women were educated in public schools, including President Lincoln, Senator Wilson, Horace Greeley, Miss Anna Dickinson, Judge Kelley. "Our school has boon in existence a little more than three mouths.

Our reception today is, therefore, our first quarterly celebration. We hone our friends will not ex pect loo much or us, and will excuse all our mistakes, as we have had but little time for preparation. The next time hope to do better, as 4 great endings ofte: come from small Our inottoc are and We hope, God assisting us, to succeed."

"Much Ado About Great Cry aud Little Such were tho general of those who yesterday evening witnessed the action in the case of the State vs. Jacob Barker, for alleged embezzlement. The case was up before Judge Ahern, of the first recorder's court, on au affidavit of Patrick Cummings. The prosecutor's attorney was Mr.

Lemley, who was early in court. At six P. 31., the hour set for hearing, Mr, Barker entered the court on the arm of his son-in-law, Mr. Hunt, and took his sent at the bar with Randell on one aide aud the venerable Alfred llenncn on the with such eminent counsel as JudgeSpofford and others gathered around. hetuer all these ornaments of the Louisiana bar were engaged to manage their friend and relation or not, th.

made a lint showing, fully equal to that of the celebrated firm ol prosecutors in the Pickwick trial. It was an interesting. diguified, effective scene, without any reference to the appearance of the background of the picture, where sat nmuy of the poor men aud women, of all nations and colon, who beiug losers of their hard earned savings by the dosing of the bank of the principal figure in the foreground, were anxiously listening to learn if anything favorable to their interests would proceed from this trial. But here the interest ceases. Mr.

Lemley rose, and on 1 bchal of the prosecution, asked leave to withdraw the suit, it appearing that the affidavit had been drawn up and the prosecution commenced without legal consulta- tion; and the forms of law in such an case as this whole bank matter, require the best legal skill to manage it successfully, particularly with such an array of legal talent to defend it. Mr. Randell Hunt immediately rose, and aid he was happy to find the prosecutor had thought better of the matter, and pro- ceeded to promise flor Mr. Barker what that gentleman has been promising for himself, to do justice to all his creditors, to give up aU his effects, etc. to satisfy his debts.

There were then smiles, aud handshaking congratulations, and the triumphant prosecutor was driven home iu his carriage. hile the creditors aud the rest of mankind went home on foot. Murder on the Lake Shore The body of an unknown man, found in the lake at Mandeyille on the 27th ultimo, from the description given was supposed by his wife to be that of Captain James Brown, of the fishing smack John Williams, who whs reported to have fallen overboard and drowned when opposite Orange Grove, four miles from the Rigolets. Mrs. Brown, who resides at Milneburg, visited Mandcville and had the body exhumed.

She did not identify it as that of her husband, nor could she remember pre- 1 cisely the clothing he had on. The body appeared to be that of a person about thirty years of age and about six feet in height. It had on a white cotton undershirt, check oversliirt, linen pants, blue flannel drawers, and a new pair of fine gaiter shoes. There were two bullet holes in the breast, and the body was also perforated with small shot, and it was evident that the unknown man had been fouly dealt murdered aud thrown into the lake to pon these representations, the chief of police of this city determined to investigate I matter, and this morning examined a number of witnesses. It appears that when Captain Blown was lost, his sloop was lashed to another, the Kate Smith, Captain Rosevitch.

From the evidence of those who were on board of the vessels at the time, there had been no difficulty betweeu Brown 1 any of the crew. That he had been drinking some, and accidentally fell overboard, while asleep near tfie stern of his boat, aud that every effort had been made to rescue him, without success. The vessel, hen he was last seen, was forty miles from Mandevillo. Nothing was ascertained to identify the body found at Mandcville us that of Captain Brown, and, consequently, no accusation has been made against any one. one.

Coustruotlnir a Wharf, Wednesday the city controller adjudicated the contract lor the construction of a liarf to connect the upper end of the steamboat landing at foot of Notre Dame ith the Texas steamship landing, thus abolishing the fintboat basin there, and which was yielding no revenue to the city. The contract was sold to Henry Elleman, Francis Martin aud C. A. Eager securities, i at $2 75 per superficial square of one hun- dred superficial feet of wharf complete, and i 25 for bulkheads per running foot. The wharf is to be constructed of the best llow pine, and in conformity to plans and specifications made by the city surveyor.

Payments are to be in cash for the work on completion of each three hundred feet or more of squares of wharf, aud acceptance of same by the city surveyor and chairman of streets and landings committee, the city retaining in guarantee until the final completion of the work ten pci cent, of each and every settlement. Fun In Court. In the recorders' courts, particularly that presided over by Recorder Gastiuel, the fol- jes, vanities, weakness, delights, and shades of human nature afford mingled amusement and sadness to the reporter.

It would be more agreeable there if the crowd was not so oppressive, and to relieve the spectators who go there daily from the ne- cessity of these frequent visitations when thev might otherwise be engaged in sonr' I profitable employment, the' proposition is here made to reoort daily in these columes everything worth reporting, and putting all the fun and pathos into the sketches that can be concentrated. So buy the Republican daily, aud read it regularly, all who have leisure for court loungiugs.

Swain) of the university, who in tne course of liis remarks said that in the republic of letters there should be uo parties, and paid a high compliment to the honesty, integrity, aud administrative abilitv of the executive. President Johnson returned thanks for this manifestation of friendship, not only from the faculty and scholars of the university, but by the large concourse of friends hera present.

No matter what advantages might be confined by institutions of learning aud kiud friends, a man, to succeed, must rely upon himself, upon his own energies. He was reflecting while walking along the road aud conversing with a countrymun that forty vears ago he walked over the same ground alone, aud he was going to say, almost penniless with scarcely money enough to pay expenses, aud ulthough he could not boast, as many who now heard him, of learning, and although he left his native State for no crime, but to seek his fortune elsewhere, ho could iu ull the warmth of his heart that ho was still proud of North Carolina aud her honor.

He trusted one of the leading btudiee of the uuiversity would be the principles of the constitution aud free government. He loved his country and regarded the constitution as palladium of our safety and our liberties, and by it iu the future, as in the past, ho intended to stand. Our principles of government were, if properly understood, sufficiently expansive to embrace, not only the si.
