FRANCE.
[From Geneva by Bellegarde.Culoz,
Amberien, Macon and Dijon, to
Paris the Beautiful but Wicked
City,and Versailles the Palatial.
On Monday morning, May 16th,
Iwe left Geneva at 7 a. m. (chang
ing time backward one hour from
here westward to Paris), after
^breakfast, on our journey to Paris,
'the pace-setter of the fashions of
the world. At Bellegarde on the
border between Switzerland and
La Belle France all passengers and
their baggage were subjected to
She usual custom-house examina
tion, particular care being taken to
find out as to the carrying of ci
gars and liquors—to prevent smug
gling across the border-line).
} Hence we travelled through Culoz,
; Amberien, Bourg and Macon,
' vhere we changed cars after brief
1 vaiting for a through train by
: Dijon to Paris; crossing in their
turn the Rhone, the Saone (pro
nounced Sayone), and the Seine
Rivers. How ,elad we were to
7 meet up with English people on
t>ur train; no tongue is so sweet as
your own native language when
fawuy among people almost wholly
(Speaking in some measurably un
known tongue.
| Leaving a land of mountians
And snow and precipices and gor
ges we entered upon a land of
plains, the cultivation becoming
ttiore thorough,the vegetation more
plentiful, the country covered at
frequent intervals with cities and
■ towns and villas—for the most
part clean and modern and attrac
tive. The way we came to Paris
was 388 and 1-2 miles, It is a
'kji eat vine-growing and wine-drink-
; $ng country; the common lunch
1 served at stations has the wine-
ottle with it (no water or coffee
in less by special extra order.)
Tis a frequent sight (indeed com
monplace) to have of men and
women singly or in party having
in pocket or bag or hand a wine
bottle on train, and especially is it
in the foreground at hotels. The
$Lord deliver our country from so
wide-spread an evil! And yet,
strange as it may seem, we did not
fmeec a single really drunken per-
1 ' son in our whole trip anywhere
|through Italy, Switzerland and
France, where spirituous liquors is
drank to much in the form of the
pure juice of the grape. We find
it wholesome to “touch not, taste
not. handle not” the “grape juice,”
however; so long as one can secure
water (cold or hot),tea and coffee,
nothing else is needful.
We arrived at the station in
Paris, (a city of nearly 4,000,000
people, surrounded with ramparts
with 94 bastians and 21 miles long,
costing $28,900,00, the approaches
being commanded by 16 detacheJ
forts), at 6:18 p. m., took cab,went
to our hotel and dined, took a
good walk and then went to rest,
thankful to God for His manifold
mercies toward us in all our course.
Early next morning we arranged
with Thos. Cook and Son Agency
for special excursions in the city
and vicinity several days under
their experienced guides (each
person in the party paying 26
francs and 25 centimes). Their
parties are arranged for every day
in the week save Sunday,luncheon
at midday being provided for (an
extra) under their direction.
In five-horse open carriages con
taining 26 persons each beside
guide and driver in livery we drove
at 10 a. m. from Cook’s office (op
posite the Grand Opera House)
past the Church of St. Augustin,
through the Parc Monceaux, by
the house of Minyet (the colossal
rich chocolate-maker, built out of
chocolate drops, a palatia) house
for a bachelor), by the Arc de
Triomphe de l’Etoile (with groups
on the side representing the Na-
poleodie campaigns), through the
splendid Boisde Boulogne (a tract
of about 2,250 acres, of which 70
are artificial lakes, the chief parks
of the F'rench capital), by the
Lakes, Grascade, and race-course
of Lougchamps, and in full view
of the Citadel of Mont Valerien
(wjience the Germans, in 1872
bombarded Paris), by the house
and race course of the proprietor
of the gambling-den at Monte
Carlo, by the headquarters of the
latest Parisian tailor for American
and other ladies’ fine dresses (P.
Boeuf), through the town and
Park of St. Cloud; stopped to rest
our horses at Montretout, drove
through the Boisde Ville d’Avray,
by the residence of the Prince of
Monaco, down the Avenue de
Picardie, the Boulevard de la
Reine, up the Grand Trianon (a
horse-shoe shaped villa ), way to
the richly furnished rooms of the
one-storied private apartments of
the Empress Josephine, Emperor
Napoleon 1, and Madame de Main-
tenon, and saw the curious display
of old state coaches in all their
i beauty and uniqueness and magni
ticence. The Petit Trianon’s gar
dens are in easy access to visitors
daily.
At midday we lunched at the
Hotel Vatel ( once stopping-place
for the German General Bismarck)
close by. On the conclusion of
our repast we then visited in de
tail the lovely Park, the fountains,
| the Palace (that Louis XIV built
! at cost of $<200,000,000, on an iso
lated plateau between low forest
covered hills), and the Galleries of
! Versailles (pronounced Versile)—
the grandest conceivable. It has
not been inhabited since 1789; and
Louis Philippi converted it into a
museum devoted ‘‘To All the
Glories of France.” None of us
can ever forget this magnificent
building, its stairways and hails,
its unrivalled pictures, and statues,
its chambers and chapel and court
yard, its fountains and grand car-
iol. Back by the Avenue de Paris,
Viroflay, Chaville, oevres and its
porcelain works, Billancourt,

and Gate at which the Germans
entered and remained 12 days, by
the Viaduct d’Auteuil, Trocadero
Opera House (fine),and the Seine
Embankment.
In front of the Porcelain Works
at Sevres is the fine bronze figure
representing Bernard Palissv, the
inventor of enamlled pottery,chem
ist and natural philosopher, geolo
gist and artist, political economist,
author and hero Christian,of whom
Lamartine said, “This potter was
one of the greatest writers of the
French tongue. Montaigne does
not excel him in freedom, Rous
seau in vigor, La Fontaine in
grace, Bossuct in lyric energy.”
Because he founded the Reformed
Church at Saintes and revolution
ized the community’s morals, he
was seized and charged with her
esy, and only by an accidental
circumstance was saved from be
ing burnt at the stake with others.
WI10 can ever cease to honor this
aged man and gifted, as ho lay
chained to the floor in the Bastile
prison. Henry III stood over him,
and, alluding to his 45 years of
faithful and valuable service, de
clared: “I am now compelled to
leave you to your enemies, and to
morrow you will be burnt unless
you become a Roman Catholic.’’
To which l’alissy fearlessly replied:
"Sire, you have often said you
pity me. I now pity you. ‘Com
pelled!’ It is not spoken like a
king. These girls, my compan
ions, and I, who have a portion in
the kingdom of heaven, will teach
you royal language. I CANNOT
BE COMPELLED TO DO
WRONG. Neither you nor the
Guises will know how to compel a
potter to bow the knee to images.”
This is the kind of loyalty the
Saviour demands of us all—allegi
ance to the right at all hazards,
dear reader. Is that what you are
giving Him before the world?
Mr. Carroll and the writer left
the carriages at the Seine, and go
ing a short way came to the cele
brated Eiffel Tower (984 feet
high) located on the Champs de
Mars, up which we ascended in
elevator cable-cars to the platform
900 feet high, whence we wrote
and mailed post cards to loved
ones far away. This magnificent
giant steel structure, the highest
human edifice in the world, cost
ing three million francs, is won
derfully built, and has concert
hall, restaurant, salesroom, bal
conies, elevator cars, cables, etc.
This was Bro. Carroll’s treat, and
one greatly prized. The view from
tho tower is by far the widest in
range and one of the very best of
the city’s viewpoints. Thence we
went by the famous Madeleine
Church, through the Place de la
Concorde to which extends the
Garden of the Tuileries ( 2340 feet
long), back to our hotel for the
night.
The next day in a party of 26
by Cook carriage, drawn by four
Percheron grey horses, we visited
the Place and Colonne Vendome
(a column 140 feet high, topped
by a statue of Napoleon dressed as
a Caesar), the Rue de Rivoli, the
Jardin des Tuileries, the Arc de
Triomphe (160 feet high by 146
broad and 72 deep, the finest in
existence, costing about #2,000,-
000, on an eminence from which
vadiate 12 fine avenues, and with
commanding view of the city ),and
Place <lu Carousal, the statues of
Gambetta and of the Republique
and of Voltaire, by the Kcole des
Beaux-Arts, Palais de l’lnstitut,
Hotel des Monnaies (the Mint),
Pont Neuf (from its nine en
trances), statue of Henry IV, the
Palais de Sustice, the Conciergerie
and the historic Cathedral of No
tre Dame de Paris (so eloquently
described by Victor Hugo;. It is
417 feet long, 156 feet wide, 11O
high, and has twin towers 264
feet, dates back to the 12th cen
tury, and has a rich Gothic struc
tured facade and highly imposing
statuary over its portals. The
Last Judgment is represented
over the central entrance. In the
figures over the front door may
be seen both little and big devil
pulling down the scales of the
balance in the estimate of souls.
