I.OOK FOR OUR PRIVATE "A-ORADK" MARK ATLANTA BUGGY COMPANY. - - Atlanta. Georeia Land of Promise (TO AND FROM) By Rev. C. O’N. Martindale. article: lxiv. 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.

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.
