t Grand Spectnlar Opening and the
mirerent Sight* Seen by
* \ * , Paris, May 5,1880.
Dear News I must have tired
you very much with my last two
letters, so descriptive of nlllbaVe
seen in London, but how can one
pass lightly over a nation’* history
when written in such tangible shape
as museums and gallaries? These
foreigners aav of us that t* “ * '
no people so energetic as A;
when globe trotting; is it
our country is so young in its
tory, so short in its past? I must
give you a sketch of the great
World’s Pail- soon opened
and which is attracting so
ou.' people that one can
tusn anywhere without hearing Eng¬
lish spoken with a deccidely Amer¬
ican accent.
At half past 2 o’clock, s. m. Presi¬
dent Carnot announced ceremonious¬
ly upon the grounds of the exposi¬
tion that the great fair was open
to tbe public, and' during the day
200,000 people must have entered
its gates. The night of the centen¬
nial celebration Parts was one blast
of electric light of unusual brillian¬
cy, with thousands of many colored
lanterns swinging in groups in every
available place. Men, women fend
children were sitting upon the base
of every monument of the Place de
la Concord lend the Arena* of the
Champs Elysies, and around the cold
paving stones around the Are de
Triomph, regardless of the cold, and
from this central point [of vantage
the seen* itsel bad a brilliant and
fairy-like appearance, whilJJ the pal¬
ace of the Trocaders with its . grace¬
ful hues brought out in gas jdfcs, re¬
sembled a picture from the Arabian
Nights. The streets were une mov¬
ing mass of pedestrians, and the
Place de' la Concord, presented a
spectacle which probably no other
capital in the world could offer. With
the ministry of Marines and me
chamber of deputies away beyond
the bridge, the whole formed one
blaze of light; garlands of gas jets
surrounded the* playing ffoun-
tains, and the twenty thousand of
people congregated here were mov¬
ing to and fro like ants upon an ant
hill, while human souls, ten rows
deep crowded upon the quays and
bridges overlooking the river Seine,
reminding one oflhe audience in
some Boman arena. At 11 o’clock
a lond report announcing the begin¬
ning of a grand Pyrothnic display,
and the tower of Eiffel was sur¬
mounted by a shower of green Ro¬
man candles of most artistic contrast
Blazing firewoeks now started up in
every direction, the sky was of a lu¬
rid red, and against it in bright re¬
lief came the oft-repeated tri-colored
Roman candle. The Venetian fete
upon the Seine was glorious. The
river is spanned by bridges,
which seemed but a thread of %ht,
though crowded to excess by an
over-curious populace, feaiful of loos¬
ing one little bit of the even chang¬
ing panorama upo.n its surface. Lit¬
tle boats with bright-eyed colored
awnings and hung with colored lant¬
erns, glided swiflty up and down
carrying bands of music and stroll¬
ing players making merry for the
crowds that filled the quays above.
Every building was one blaze of
light arrayed in fanciful shapes; all
carriages and horses were stabled for
the night, and all Paris, beaueiful,
gay, pleasure seeking Paris, was on
foot; thepeasantandthe aristocrat
stood side by side enjoying his Mag¬
nificent celebration of a young re-
pub lie in true democratic style.
President Carnot feasted his people at
Versailles, and all France was wild,
crazy with excitement in the proes-
sion lor a day of this palace erected
by kingly magnificence, in honor of
all the glories of France. They sang,
they danced in groups under the tri¬
color flags bearing in glitteiri&g fot-
tewffhe inscription, “May q, 1789,
May 5, 1889,” and these light, su¬
perficial, fun-loving people, were just
like children with new toys. While
watching this seething crowd one
could not help reflecting upon the
strangeness of the French character,
so easily aroused, so sober, so well
conducted and yet bo unable to find
a strong and stable govemmett.
This celebration at the ex-roya
borough of Versailles was the long
promised centennial of the first sit¬
ting of the States General, for just
one hundred years Ego to-day there
was a formal sitting of nobles and
churchmen which formed parliament' the first
revohitfonary French
and the democratic crow-bar
plied to throne, altar and aristocra¬
cy, and a general upheaving follow¬
ed, which not only ended in thebe¬
heading of the weak and
Louis XVth and his

raised for President Carnot, who
came followed by the Cuiraaejpr*
with their steel helmets glistening in
> sun, as they advanced towards
palace of unparallled magniii-
Around the President were
gathered Academicians in green em¬
broidered cloth, judges in Bcarlet and
ermine, and a crowd of naval officers,
together with the Bishop of Ver¬
sailles and the clergy, who came to
testify their loyalty to a republican
government. Speeches were made in
which were retraced the great things
that bad been accomplished in the
short space of a, hundred years, and
encouraging words were offered to
the Frenchmen of 1889, beseeching
them to prove themselves worthy
heirs of their ancestors of 1789. A
marble stab with fitting inscription
in gilt letters was then set up to
commemorate the union of the States
General and its development into a
National Assembly. After this the
military fete began and France came
proudly to the front with her army.
The review over, we then made for
the palace and climbed the grand
marble stair oase. Handing In our
tickets, we were admitted to the
Gallery of Mirrors. The choir of the
conservatory sang the Marseillaise
hymn as the President entered pre¬
ceded by his military household
Monsier Carnot’s speech was a touch-
ing appeal to Frenchmen on behalf
qf democratic France} pleading-
cause he offered her to her citizens as
an object of boundless love and
unfailing hope, acknowledging no
sovereign, save the law made by
the representati^ves of her people, and
urging them above the level of paltry
passions and party quarrels. When
the speeches were over a grand rapast
was served in the Gallery of Battles,
to the soft strains of the national
President Carnot laid himself out to
be'popular, and evidently convinced,
the French people that he is the right
man for France, The evening wound
up with an exhibition of fireworks
and the setting in motion the mag¬
nificent fountains in the gardens of
the palace for the amusement of the
people, the same fountains which
have utive hitherto uHineriio played pmjeu only uuiy for lur
crowned heads, and on the whole it
must be confessed that the centen¬
nial festival was to some extents
grand and splendid revival of the
highest points of spectacular history
A gum in Parfq, we entered the Ex¬
position grounds by the palace of
theTrocadeo, inhere we enjoyed for
two hours a concert by a hundred
musicians with stringed instruments
accompanied by male and female
voices of the highest quality, and in
this crowd of music loving people
one unconsciously held his breath,
fearful of disturbing the intense qu|eft
of the house or losing one note of
those classic tones.
We then found our way out into,
the large grounds made beautiful by
artificial lakes and an abundance
hothouse flowers, under the grand
arches of the Eiffel tower, the wonder
of the age, the highest building fn
the world, and built of finely wrought
iron so delicate and intricate in its
structure that ft resembles lace work
The first platform to which four ele¬
vators ascend, has a printing office
which issues a daily journal, and a
restaurant where on* may order a
delicate breakfast at the cost of f 29
The following platforms are blit
resting places on the way to the
dome or cupalo, from which a fine
view of all Paris and its environs
can be enjoyed, and thousands of
visitors do not hesitate to ascend its
1,200 steps to breathe the fresh
that sweeps the plain below, and see
this grand panoramf, oi Paris. The
capacity of this huge iron ladder is
ten thousand persons, and at
when encircled by electric wires
ablaze with light, with a large
colored revolving Star high up in
air, it looks like some skeleton tar¬
ries have constructed a danger sig¬
nal. The many fountains
this tower play nightly, and
up changeful waters of every
and all seems enchantmene
these tropical palms and flowers,
many people remain till late at
to worship Terpsichore before
altar surmounted by a fiddle and
drum, while they dance upon
rude uneven stones.

How can I tell you of ail one sees
at this great show? Some of the
knowing ones say that onr Exposi-
tion'of 1876 was equal to this, but
perhaps it is American patriotism
which causes them to say so, for we
know that the American Eagle flaps
its wings and soars when abroad
and yet with all this display we
cannot but feel that this centennial
of the downfall of Monarchy in
France, is an unhappy date upon
which to fix so important a commer¬
cial event, and expect all monarch
teal Europe to contribute to its suc-
Fike County.
