the Railroad makes a cut twenty feet deep,
which is spanned by a substantial bridge

and foot-walks upon either side Coming
from the main county road, across this
bridge, we opprnech the Grand Entrance,
consisting of a splendid arched gateway,
flanked upon either s'de by handsome or
namental towers. In front of tne gate, be
tween it and the bridge, is a hr -ad area one
hundred and fifty by two hundred feet,
formed by throwing hack the fence, which
at this point is twelve feet high and sur
mounted by a beautiful cornice in a semi
circular form, making a kind of vestibule
to the entrance. In the center of this there
will be an ornamental plat fifty feet in
diameter, around w‘iieh winds the carriage

are the offices of the Secretary and Treasu
rer—each twenty-five by forty feet—so sit
uated as to he accessible to persons b >th
within and without the grounds. A little
further on are the offices of the President
and Executive committee.
To the right of the entrance begins the
be.intUul carriage drive, which passes
entirely ground the enclosure, wind rig
through hady grove-, around the hi Is.
crossing bridges, skirting small lakes—of
which thore are three in the Park—and
making it a1 re idv a most delightful riding
ground tor the ib uiz-ns of Atlanta, and one
which will ass ird great pleasure to persons
vis ting the Fair in vehicles.
Let us pass slowly along this way and
observe the various points of interest
within the enclosure. Passing from the
r ght of the entrance, along the ridge hHfj, re
alluded to, we Come first tO “ A I'DIENCE

and gailery f r band &e. The lower -torv
is intended for a part oi the exhit i ion. A
little further on is the ‘ Floral Hall” and
“Art Gallery.” This building is c msider

another buiid fl - ■ a‘- 'O “Audience
Hall,” the parti -r . -ign of which w'e
did not learn Ia 1 no-i to thes j w’e pa-is
two or tt r eTm t er buildings ou the ridge,
designed for various purposes connected
with the Fair. Descending the western
slope of ot the ridge to level grounds, we
strike the long line of stalls for horses, c&t*
tie, sheep, &e These extend almost round
three sides of the enclosure, and are large
and comfortable, equal iu fact to a first-
stable. Here the road swings round
in front of these stalls, turns the corner,
ana then making a beautiful curve, comes
near the western end of the Race-track
ana the Amphitheatre. The track is a half
mile long, and in cot.sequence of the tin-
of the ground, required in its
construction some heavy grading., costing,
we are informed, over §20,000. It is oval
in shstp>, with rather short curves or turns
at the ends, but with unusually long and
straignt “back and home stretches,” which
we are assured will more than g.).npen?at9
for the shortness of the turns The amphi
tbr 4re is on the side opposite the Judges’
stand, and is carable of seating between
four and fire th usand people. In addition
to this, the slope of the ridge before refer
red to affords fine standing room to rntny
thousands more, to whom every part of the
track will fie plainly visible. Indeed, the
every obstacles which at first seemed t • ren
der success more than doubtful, have been
seized upon, and in the arrangement of the
track and grounds turned with consummate
skill til the highest possible advantage.
Gullies have been filled and changed to fine
roads. Hills have been terraced arid sloped
so as to f- fra ah amphitheatre. Morasses
have been drained and turned info beauti
ful lakes, and the Gr -unde so changed £nd
beautified that they ha\e lost their identify.
Within this curve, at the end of the race
track, it is proposed to erect a “skating
r-nk” for ‘‘patent roller skates,” wh:eh will
he one of the largest in the country.
Turning again, the r md passes near the

PARIS—I io iMro-a L\Uci AS A
sTkagetiu i* jint—ii jW t j reach tt —its
strength.
A military view of the security of the
Fieoeh Capital is summarized in the fol
lowing statement complied from a French
j turnal, wfliich endeaYofis to tranquilize the
public mmd on that point:
There are four routes in a military point
of view, which an invading army might
adopt in a vancing from Germ ny upon
Paris: 1 By crossing the French frontier
between Simsbourg and Luxemburg, and
then advancing in a uirect line on Palis.
2 By crossing the Swiss territory, situated
below Strasburg, and marching by the val
leys of the Seine uud Maine on the Capital
3. By a movement lrom the north, pas-ing
the fortress Meiz and reaching Paris
by way of the valleys of the Stone and
Marne 4. By advancing through Belg’an
soil, in a direct southern line the ugh the
valleys of the Oise and Aisne on Piris.
The first course ie regarded as a military
infiposubiliiy, France being protected on
itie east by the great natural defenses of the
Vosges mountains, the M iselle river, the
Ardendes mountains, arid the river Meuae.
huported by many fortified places, among
which is the stronghold of Metz Dism su
ing, then, any speculations which this
route may suggest, we arrive at the second
line of advance toward the French Capital,
if in this case the Prussians were to v oiate
the neutrality of Switzerland and attempt
to advance upon Paris from the sou beast,
they would find themselves confronted by
the fortress of Lyons, which has been
strengthened and rendered very secure
since the period of the fir-t Empire. Before
arriving at that point the invading-f >rces
wou and have to capture either* Belfont or
Langres, both of which occupy commanding
pos-nions on the ground through which an
army advancing from Swiiz :r!and should
pass.
The third r >tlte is the most seas b’e. ar and
consists, io military nhr- se of turning the
torue-ses on the northeast frontier, includ
ing Metz, and then by continu'd successes
arriving on tie river Mari e, from whence
there is no formidable obstacle to an ad
vance toward the immediate neighborho >d
of the capital. But an in- a i g lorce c uld
not, on account of Meiz uni Btrasburg.
wisely adopt this cour-e. r l’lie French
army, if defeated, ci mid take refuge in Metz
and thence hnrrasS the rear of the invader,
who wouid be open to similar attacks from
Strasburg and places of less importance.
The fourh route hy way of Belgium, is
secured hy defenses w hich the reverses of
1814 proved more imperatively neoessirv.
The French calculated that even if an
enemy sh uld arrive in the vicinity of Paris
her forntieati >ns are practically impregna
ble. Thirty years ago, under the adminis
tration of M Thiers, these defenses were
completed, the pr-dect being regarded with
special favor by L mis Phiflippe. whe took
an enthus astic inierest in fortifications
Another resource is found in the population
of Paris, now numbering 2,000,000, who,
by acti g in concert with lorces ->perating
in the rear of the invaders, might over
wneim them Such was the hope of Napo
le >n 1., hot in the altered circumstances of
ins time it proved impraciicable.
The following is one of these beautiful
ideas of Victor Hugo. Speaking of the
death of Kesler, he says :
A-leep'?—No I I take back that word.
Death des not sleep. Death lives! Death
is" a’ splendid realization. Death toircaes
man ii. two Ways, she freezes, then revives
him. Her breath indeed, extinguishes,
but resumes. YVe see the eyes she closes,
but w"e do uot sec thOwt’ she unseale.
WAR DOTS.
Thf Pope is said to he preparing a hull
against Bonaparte. The Prussians are
delighted, and cry, “bully tor the Pope."
In a recent test f >r rapidity of firing, the
Cha&sepnt rifle gave £0 r.-unds in 1 minute
and 42 seconds. The bullet of the Chaise
pot weighs but 380 graius.
The King of Wurteinburg is quoted as
saying that Germany would bs ruined by
the war for twenty years, and immigration
to America will swell to enormous propor
tions.
It is stated in Wusbingtnn, on good
authority, that some private parties in New
York are negotiating for the purchase of
two Ironclads from our government, for
$759.0 0 each, for Prussia.
Prussia has imperitively demanded of
England that sh.pm«*uts of coal to France
shall cease or the pre ence of neutrality he
aband >ne 1 The Prussians Envoy insists
on criuianal proo**. dings againtft British
pilots s rving French war vessels.
As an instance < f the delayp attending
the movement T tfoops, it is estimated that
the French Eastern Railroad Company
w u and require ten days to move a force of
40,000 men, wii i horses, ammunition, etc ,
from Chalons to the front er, even if a train
Could be dispatched every hour.
The Crimean war only cost tho British
Government $400,000,000, gold, and now
the English people want to * see” that
amount and go it a few hundred millions
better in a war with France, Verily, the
legacy of Waterloo is a bitter oue, as well
for victor as for vanquished.
The New York German Patriotic Asso
ciation has resolved to send over to Germany
young physicians who speuk the German
language, to assist in the care of the sick
and wounded, knowing, from official sources,
that they will be veiy acceptable to the
Prussian Government.
France has one hundred and nineteen
fortresses, of which eight are of the first
rank: Paris, Lyons, Strasbourg, Metx,
Lille, Toulon, Brest and Cherbourg. The
fortifications of Paris are staled to have
cost $4 >.000.0 )0, and up to 1868 there had
be-n expended on Cherbourg $3J,000,000.
Napoleon Has restored the very torches
of popular enthusiam in France—the
“Marseillaise” hymn and the revolutionary
opera of ‘ Massaniello”—-and if Germany
succeeds in overcoming Napoleon, which is
its declared object, it will still have to fight
France.
The latest invention sos warlike purposes
is said to be the adoption of Bt'*ara locomo*
tives for the transportation of heavy artil
lery on common roads. This has been
practically tried in England and Prussia,
and seems to have given groat satisfaction.
How far this invention will be made adap
table in the present war remains to bo seen.
France lost 80,000 men during the Cri
mean struggle ; the Italian campaigns car
ried off 60,000 more of Napoleon’s braves;
while 65,000 Frenchmen were sacrificed in
the Chinese and Mexican wars. The open
ing war is assutnmlng such mammoth pro
portions that Napoleon’s losses now promise
to exceed all these figures aggregated.
The Prussian army is weighed down by
a hideous aristocracy of offictrs. The real
Generals are not, according to appearances,
put in command. A parcel of Princes ure
nominally at the head of the several crops.
The great Moltke has always a stupid
Prince or two at his back, just as the great
Bismarck has been compelled to hear on
his broad shoulders the ponderous aud vain
old King, who goes along with his army
aud thinks he commands it.
Wak Maps.— Speaking of “war maps,”
so-called, which many newspapers are now
printing, and which appear to be Chinese
puzzles, a contemporary says: “They are
very easily manufactured. A pistol is first
charged wi;h powder, then a small bottle
of ink placed on this charge, and fired
against a piece of boxwood ; the block is
then handed to the artist, who chips away
all the surface not covered with ink—pro
ducing a first-class newspaper war-map.
The “Mitrailleous” of tho French army,
wbie.i was so destructive to the Prussians
in the late battle, a New Haven paper says,
is the Gatling gun invented in Hartford ten
years ago. It is a series of rifle barrels,
mounted on a pair of wheels, and, at the
turning of a crank, “fixed ammunition”
passes along in a “slide,” to the breech,
when it instantly explodes. The French
government has helped itself to this inven
tion without auy compensation to the
inventor.
The Times ascribes the French disaster
to the Emperor’s obstinacy in refusing
s und military advice, and to his illness.
The Tunes says parties in France will
make the Emperor pay the penalty of ill
success. 11 s name is already ignored iu
acts by which the regency seeks to rally
the people. Thinge arrange themffelv'ec at
ii he w’os not expected to resume his power,
as if testing how he may be dispensed wi'h
altogether. The only question is who shall
first utter the word “abdication.”
The New York Tunes has this para
graph :
“Among our European mail news will he
found a s atement from a French s >urce,
charging Pruss a with reviving the use of
that m »st barbarous of ail known missile
—the explosive ball. It may be remem
bered that at the convention held last year
at St. Petersburg, for the purpose of taking
measures to alleviate the horrors <t war,
the governm nts of both France and Prus
sia gave t'eir adhesion to a resolution
whereby the use of explosive balls was ex
nre'Si.y di.-allowed in wa-fare. But it
appears that the Grand Duchy of Baden
refused to sign this article of the Conven
tion, aod is soldiers being now in the field
with Prussia, and in pos-tssion of tDe mis
si s in qu»*t>ti m, France has been com; elled
to resort, in her turu, t > ths>r m inufacture,
and’ the ghast y catalogue of slaughter is,
therefore, in a fair way to be largely in
creased. This statement is also repeated
by the correspondent of the In<Jei>endent
Beige, and Prussia certainly owefe it to the
civilized world to see that an invention so
purely diabolical as the explosive ball
should not, by any fault o! hers, be brought
to bw 11 the horrors of war. '
