PAIUS , Jan. 3. [ Correspondence of Tnu
Tlcn. ] It Is a very pleasing ride from Uouon
to Paris In tbo comfortable cars of tbo
Cbcmln do for do 1'Ouost ' , The roadbed is
easy , tbcro li little dust and the cars are not
overheated as with us. The little engines
attached to the train seem like toys con
trasted with the great moguls ono sees on
the Northern and Union Pacific. The road
runs through rtcb valleys every Inch
of land being under cultivation
and tbrougb quaint Norman villages whoso
bouses have steep , red roofs. The little gardens -
dons surrounded by stone walls , not for pro-
l j- tectlou , but on which to train grape vines
and fruit trees , tiny little frail trees like
tbo Chinese dwarf trees. We still run along
the bunks of tbo Seine nnd occasionally see
tbo towers of some chateau pooping above
tbo trees and the little villages , always with
a church , some modern and others that IOOK
as if many centuries bad rendered them moio
Interesting.
We reached Paris about dusk and \voro
driven from the station up the grand avnuuo
do 1'Opera to our hotel on the Hue Ulvoll , op
posite the gardens ot the Tullorlos. Wo
came to Paris free from prejudice and wo
are disappointed. Perhaps it Is tbo heavy ,
dull , humid atmosphere , that makes
Paris loss beautiful and brilliant
than wo expected. In Now York wo loft
lunsblno and doUr utly charming weather.
Hero everything , * under lowering sUlos and
111 * wet and muddy.
If I were not afraid of my enemies I would
wrlto a book and call It " lei , " not white
but black lies. Ono person told us to bo sure
and take lots of wraps and rugs. You will
suffer so with cold In the cars. Tbo oars are
wore comfortable than ours. Anotbor said
you cannot drink water In Paris ; it Is too
bad , Tbe water Is very good bore. The
things wo expected to llnd good are bad and
What wo expected to bo bad are good ,
Paris at present is not cleaner than New
York and not as clean as many ot our own
cities. If they would tarn the hose on tbo
Itrcots aud suppress the beggars it would bean
an Improvement , However , this is the Jour
doj'au ' , the day tbo Parisians celebrate as
wo do Christmas , and the beggars are al
lowed to ply their trade without hindrance.
From the balcony of our room wo look Into
tbo gardens of iho Tullerlos and bavo a coup
d'ocil from the Place du Carrousal to the
* Place do la Concorde to the Arc de 1'Etolle.
Tbo whole of tbo Champs Elysscs Is spread
before us , from tbo colossal statue of ( Jam-
botta to tno Are do 1'Utollo Napoleon bad
erected to celebrate bis marriage with Marie
Louise , aud which oven tbe Parisians , In
their triumphal march turough the conquered
city , spared. But the commune has loft
nothing stanalug of tbo grand old paUoo of
the Tullorles , only a little ruin wboro ono
can sco tha window from which
our countryman , Dr. Evans , dropped tbo
beautiful empress , took ber to a place of
safety , else she uileht bavo mot a worse fate
than tbe lovely queen , borne from t'als place
to a prison and to the guillotine. Across tbo
Seine wo bavo a view of the Hotel des In-
vulldos , wboro repose the remains of the
great emperor. The Pantheon onoo , a
church now , the mausoleum of tbo great
men of Franco , and this beautiful Greek
temple , where Victor Hugo aud other of
France's great writers , poets , palntorn and
Statesmen are entombed , is a fair tatnplo of

Now Year's day in Paris is a fete. 'We saw
the senators and deputies on their way to
nay their respects to President Carnet , rid
ing In carriages , with a guard of mounted
policemen , but there was nothing very bril
liant about it. The condition of two of the
writers of Franco seems to cause more emo
tion M. Ernest Uenan , who is ill , and Guy
do Maupassant , who has gene insane , per
haps from reading his own vllo books than
the reception of the prosidontof the republic.
Our minister , Mr. Hold , and his wife had a
brilliant reception on Now Years.
Tno Duo do Uoobofoucauld on the llth of
February received with Mrs. Hold. Sno was
never moro beautiful and charming. The
whole of the American colony were out in
force. Apropos ot Miss Mitchell I board a
very bright man on the steamer coming over
propose that the American people should elvo
MIsi Mitchell a dot , since aim was the first
American girl who any foreigner was over
Itnown to bo willing to marry without one.
Little Florence Andensclx was not at t beHeld
Hold reception. She bos Just had a little
countess only throe davs old.
General King of Baltimore , our consul

Wo saw a good deal of the French people
on New Yeari1 day and wo did riot discover
they were any moro Joyous , or lively than a
crowd would bo in our own country on a hol
iday.
Tbo hotels are no hotter than ours , not as
good , You do not got so much for your
money , Tbo shops , certainly , are not so
bandsomo and very little cheaper. On tbe
ruodela Pair ono find * the most wonderfully
beautiful display of Jewels , In the window ,
but when you enter the doors there Is noth
ing but a counter with a man behind , and a
snaco as "big as a closet. 13ut though
wo have humid skies , mud
and neither the good hotels or shops we have
nt home , wo have a city filled with grand old
palaces , churches , monuments , inuseumi ,
libraries , rich in history , romance , and at
tractive to all who wlsb to study. It Is the
old Paris that ono wants to see the Place do
la Uopubllquo ( once the Bastllo ) , the Louvre
not la grand Magazln du Louvre ) , the Lux
embourg , the Cluny palace , once the abode of
kluci and quooni , uow with "Egallte , llberlo

From Paris , passing through Dijon , Lyons
and other French towns , wo did not stop
until wo reached Avignon , at 8 o'clock In tbo

But when you get up in the morning nnd
see the beautiful country , the valley of the
Rhino , the river running out of its bed and
overflowing the whole laud , the old city with
Its papal palace for it was the resi
dence of the pope for many years
the old church , erected on tbo site
ot a pagan temple , and walk on the Rocbor
du Dom , from where ono has a
magnificent view of the whole valley and
Pont d'Avlgnon , or rather the ruins , built by
Saint Bonozot at the end of the twelfth cen
tury , ono forgets bad dinners and everything
else disagreeable. I came very near baulng
au adventure at Avignon , and being urrosted ,
I supposo. I opened a door suddenly and
spoilt tbo bonnet of a woman , who was Just
coming out. She began , talking , gestlculat-
ulating and shaking her fist , I did not say
pardon mo , but looked her cooly in the face
and said , I do not understand. The other
part of my party began to apologize , but I
cried , do not say a word of French or we are
lost. Quito a crowd bad collected and the
woman began talKlng to the gens d'armes ,
but I still persisted , In I do not understand.
After a little wo wore allowed to get into
tbo train ana my only revenge was hollowing
out of the car as wo moved off , a French
sentence , for which I paid dearly by tbo suffering -
foring of my party for fear wo might be de
tained when wo reached Nlmes.
Last summer , when Bob Tbornburg was in
Paris , ho was constantly made Indignant by
tbo rough manner of some of the men to his
women folks , and being a bravo man like his
gallant father , he longed to whip a Fiouch-
mnn , and , finally , bo did pulled oft bis coat
and gave Mr , Frencby a soand thrashing-
paid his flno and told the Judgo. or whatever
they call themselves hero , that bo would will
ingly pay tbe same flno every day to bo al
lowed to "lick a frog-eater. " I should like
to have had Bob along to have crushed some
of thnjo leering Frenchmen. As a general
thing tbo pcoplo are very polite. 1 asked a
question of a gentleman in Paris who walked
quite a square out of bis way to put mo on
tbo right street. And all the ladles wo moot
take infinite trouble to give us Information
and entertain us. But , oh , my I If they would
only talk a little slower , or would only say
yes or no to your question , instead of throw

In the cathedral at Avignon were two band-
some monuments of Popes John and Benedict
the XII. Behind the cathedral Is a square
tower , whlnh was used as the prison of tbo
Inquisition , where In one month sixty-three
innocent victims were executed.
Avignon Is ono of tbe places that claims to
bo tbe birth place of Petrarch. Ho lived
hero once with his poor little wife while bo
was writing sonnets to bis .Laura.
There | s a quaint old cloeu near the hotel

There are also fine statues ot Racine and

whore wo hope to find sunny skies and balmy
air , and get rid of the bad colds wo caught in
Paris.
And at lost we are at Nimos , I bad deter
mined before wo left homo to see Mimes , be
cause I bad road so much of tbo Roman an
tiquities to DO found there. With tbo ex
ception of the Arena and tbe Maison Carreo ,
which is a well preserved temple with thirty
Corinthian columns , said to have been built
by ono ot tbe ( Jiesars , there Is nothing of

Marseilles Is the largest seaport in France ,
on tbo Mediterranean. There are two forts
at tbo entrance of the harbor , St. Jean and
St. Nicholas , which protect the city , with
the batteries on tbo bigb bill , whore stands
the church of Notre Dame do la Uardo. From
tbo summit of this bill a most magnificent
panorama U spread before you of the city ,
the Cornlcbo road , the Mediterranean , with

lying along the sea , out with a background
of undulating foothills , breaking into deep
gorges , nnd capped by lofty sierras , the
whole checkered by vineyards and dotted
with cities and hamlets In the distance as
white as flakes of snow. Back across tbo
waters to tbo northeast looms gray old Gib

A Clotting Foil ricturc.
Eoforo you Is Africa , warm and glowtngbe-
noath a midwinter sun. Away to the southeast -
east Is tbo shadowy coak of Ape's Hill , at
whoso base Ceuta lies. A grand and divers !
fled coast stretches westward , past as yet
invisible Tangier , to Capo Spurtol , the north-
westernmost point in Africa. Portions of
the coast are grandly precipitous. Again
great forests sweep from noble heights into
slumbrouR valleys which undulate softly to
the sea. Tbo lights and shades are strange.
The green of the middle strait blends into a
rosy puce towards land , Ibis into a brilliant
blue further on , and the coast line at the
water's edge dooms like a thread of lustrous
onyx. Above this , brown ; then purple , then
emerald , and beyond tbcro is a glowing cf
faint orange , as though tbo valleys palpably
flung back the sunlight which lingered lov
ingly above. Beyond this a line of tender
purple , Jagged with feathery , misty fronds.
'I'bls is where tbe Atlas mountains are. And
then between the mountain passes and peaks
and tbe sky is a faint thread of saflrony pale
pink , something llko n gauze ot lavender laid
on a band of roses. That gleam of color
flashes tbo mental vision to iho vast Sahara
and the far Soudan.
Feasting with eager and selfish delight
upon the glorious shores of two continents , I
bad lost sight of honest Dobrado ; Dobrado
who was to bavo returned to bis place by the
babbling fountains of Lisbon , from Bejo ,
should 1 persist in tramping thence to Tavira
aad tbe sea ; Dobrado who was nowsworn
servitor and friend ; Dobrado broad of grin
as Gargantua , and of beam as Quixote's no
loss faithful squire ; Dobrado whom I found
with lowering eyes and hideous face , as rapt
as I had been , scowling with unutterable
hate at tbe fair land of tbo Moors , In bis
attitude , looks , mutterlngs and unconscious
gesticulations , increasing every moment in
rapidity and Intensity , the whole story of the
irrevocable vongotulnoss of Christian against
Moslem and Moslem against Christian was
told. Jt was a theme for poet ; subject for
artist Europe the implacable foe of Africa ;
the cross and tbo crescent ; incarnate hate ,
the outgrowlb of Incarnate love , burning lo
annihilate Incarnate fanaticism ; Christian
savagery thirsting for the life of Modem
barbarism ,
Hereditary Hatreds.
I touched the Uallegau gently upon tbo
shoulder , and my eyes sought bis inquir
ingly , lie trembled and was woefully con
fused for a moment. Then bis great blue
eyes saddened and bo said softly and
slowly , as though his heart meanwhile
traveled a long aud bitter way :
"There is not a choza ( cabin ) from Finis-
terre to Palcncla In which there does not
hang some forefather's galta , or hoz ( slnklo
or sword upon tbo wall , under which the
Gallogan boy Is not dally brought to swear
vengenco for Ibe murders of Iho Moor ! "
rAs I * Dobrado's dramatic
pondered over no
tion and words , I could not but fool that ,
after all , it is a pleasant thing to live , as wo
Americans do , t > o far removed from the end
less mental , if not physical , clashing : * of
tboso awful hereditary religious hatreds of
tbo centuries.
But just now wo bavo rounded Cape Mala
bar and Tangier lies before us llko a mass of
foam churned In Iho soothing tldns of the
Gibraltar strait , aud tossed Into structural

of tbo bay. Soon tbe mass of white resolved
Itself into splotches of more brilliant white
aud seams and checkers of shade ; then Into
white cubes of varying dimensions. Gradu
ally projecting corners aqd heights of snowy
masonry take shape to the eye ; and then the
pale pinks , yellows and blues of the painted
walls blond lute a ro.y u hole , broken only
by a slender square tower , Mlib glistening

whcro the heartless Kirko , during the

the famous "Popy'i Diary , " was guilty of

Landing at Tangier.
There Is no mole , quay or plor nt Tangier ;
and wo carao to anchor near the shelving
shore , where the huroorsido traffic gees on
with wondrous dm , and the Moorish customs
officers squat upon their haunches transact
ing their duties in severasllonco and gravity.
On either side were numberless fcllucaswith
strange craft from tbo lower Mediterranean ,
and perhaps two score of French , Spanish ,
English and Dutch schooners , barks and
brigs. Rather a lonesome harbor seems that
of Tangier ; and the two Hugo British men-
of-war , which bad boon lying here several
days in view ot possible danger to BritisU
Interests , from tbo threatening revolt of in
terior tribes , who seem always to bo about to
bo doing somothlncr unpleasant , brought
again tbo keen and humiliating longing I
have bad in an hundred other ports , that the
American government possessed sufllclont
character and dignity to make our flag a
tltbo as well respected as any other that
floats tbo soas.
Getting ashore at Tangier is not altogether
a stately performance. Scarcely hod our
steamer anchored when there came swarmIng -
Ing over tbo rail from all quarters a horde
of swarthy turbancd harbor porters , dressed
In tbo natural black leathern skin of Moroc
co , many with huge rings In their oara ,
dauglots and banglots of tinkling metals , and
brlgbt cashes , barelegged and barefooted , or
shod with loose sandals ; all as uncanny and
weird a lot as ever looted a ship nnd butch
ered its crow in the good old days of Moorish
piracy and pillage.
Formerly these black Imps grabbed trav
elers bodily , lifted them astride their bocks
or shoulders and waded ashore with thorn.
Recently a diminutive landing stage has
been built , but tbo treatment is quite as
ferocious. Ordinarily the stranger's belong
ings are seized and pitched Into a half dozen
different small boats and himself made tno
unwilling subject of a fierce scram
ble , after which the victor pulls
and hauls bis victim into still
another boat , and rushes him to the landing
whore a separate bribe must bo paid for the
recovery of each article , and a tlnal heavy
tribute is exacted for one's own liberation.
Precisely the same form of piracy Is repeated
on your way to a hotel with your own effects ;
but once within the great gate loading Into
the city from the harbor side , aid you ore
safer from annoyance and exaction than In
any other Moorish or Christian city In tbo
world.
A Tunny Little Scruj ) .
Good fortune had more than once attended
mo through tbo alert and cujmlng services
of Dobrado , and It stood mo now In good
stead , getting mo on African soil unre
lieved of as much as a copper flu ;
although his rugged diplomacy at llrst sub
jected mo to some disquiet. Standing in
front of mo , as each furious onslaught by a
porter was made , and without apparent effort
of bis giant strength , llrst with bis open right
hand and then with bis left , be sent African ,
Moor , Berber and what not , oll'jo ' sprawling
to the steamer's deck. Each Jumped nimbly
to bis feet and slunk humbly away.
Suddenly a follow , swarthy as a Moor , with
hair and nutted beard , black , curly and
glossy as Astrakhan wool , spiaug from the
crowd full upon Dobrado. Visions of trage
dies , dungeons in the Kasba , consular courts
of inquiry and International complications
flashed before mo. Tbe two clinched ; parted
clinched again ; and , after various alarming
contortions , fell lu what still souins to boa
torrlflo embrace together upon their Uncos.
Then such kissing and embracing began as I
had never before scon between man and mac ,
man and woman , or stranger still , between
woman and woman.
Soon they arose utterly breathless but ra
diant , Dobrado half dragged the hulking

follow to mo , and nft r tbo latter had em
braced my still trembling knees , Dobrado
said apologetically but laconically :
"I feared I would not moot him , sonor. He
is my kinsman , from Mondonodo , bcsido tbe
Ra ! do Foz. You ktiow tbo Uallogans go
wherever there is money for toll. Ho is
half-time portcro uud half-time dons some
sorvlco for a merchant hero who 1ms trufllo
with Valladolid. " And then , hesitantly i
"Perhaps senor could llnd himself useful in
Tangier ! "
Hack Windows of I'orclgn II Co.
'
"Sonor" could nod did. "Sonor,11 the
writer , shuns great hotels in his wanderings ;
loves to know the lowly , and , from their
standpoint of thinking , fooling and condi
tion , to thus look through the back windows
of foreign life and ways.
No ono can wholly tell another what Tangier -
gior Is like within its ancient city walls. It
has no street geography. Though it contain *
scarcely 20.000 souls. Its own Inhabitants get
lost within It ; and there Is but ono street or
way In which the stranger Is sufo from absolute -
lute wreck of consciousness of location. This
extends upward from tbo harbor sldo to the
See do Barm , tbo grout outside market placa
of Tangier , Just wboro you leave the city on ,
tbo xvay to Fez , Morocco's capital. Once a
dozen yards away from this narrow thoroughfare -
faro of bazaars , and the prompting to prayer
to Allah or Allah's subjects for succor Is a
quickly realized experience.
But for Dobrado and bi kinsman , 1 should
have turned bade , oassod tbo night outside
the great city gate upon the shore boncatn ,
the stars and some handy tarpaulin , and In
continently fled the place upon tbo next day's '
steamer for Gibraltar , As it was , 1
kept close to my Gallogan guides. Tno
ovontng bad fallen before wo had en
tered the oiiv. The slngld thoroughfare -
faro was a babel of donkeys , camels ,
goats , water carriers , bara loguod African
soldiers and merchants closing their tiny
shops. The din of "balakl balnkl balakl1'
the equivalent for our "look outl1' ' shrieked
bv thousands of voices In tbo choky , chasm-
like street , was deafoiilna- . Scores of times
on our half-mile way wo were ground
agamut buildings , wedged between camels
or flung Into pitch black archways.
After an hour's struggle , wo turned from
this main thoroughfare and plunged la and
upward among a maze of streets , so narrow
that opposing walls could bo touched by
outktrotcbcd hands. The silence here was
as itartllng as bad boon tbo din. Now and
then perhaps , a ghostly figure flitted by.
Here and there was lioflrd the wiiupllng
sound of water from overflowing fountains.
Occasionally a inutiled form asleep beneath
an archway was stumbled upon. Not a
light was seen in the whole dlstanro , But
for the stars overhead , It was like groping
torcblcss through tbo catacombs.
In tliu I.iiiul ot tlio Bloom.
AtlastDobrado's kinsman baited. With
the hilt of his heavy knife , almost as ponder
ous as a Cuban macbuto , bo knocked loudly
upon a barred and bolted door. A blank face
peered savagely from a tiny wicket , There
was parley which sounded like a mixture of
the Homany tongue and Qallegati Spanish.
Trio wicket closed and soon an old man clad
In flowing robes , attended by the Africanre
turned , Wo were admitted to what seemed
tbo dungeon antechamber to a larger dungeon -
goon , Directly Dobrado's kinsman showed
tbu way up some slippery stone stops , Fol
lowing a long gallery wo soon emerged Into
the open air. Thence wo were con
ducted along what appeared lo be a
crumbling parapet , aud I was finally
led Into a room perfectly bare
of furniture , Tbq place seemed to bo a de
tached structure sol upon a housetop , abut
ting against the walls of a still loftiur abode.
Homo line rugs were brouirht for a pallet.
Tbo African almost as soon appeared with a
cut brass lamp , a cup of tea , in which mint
loaves were flouting and a small roll of white
bread. Ho deposited tlie'.o in tliu middle oi
the flour and disappeared. Dobrado , who
v.ni to pass the night with bis kinsmen ,
showered the blessings of tioil upon me and
loft. I relished my food , put out my antique
lamp , wrapped myself In my splendid rugs ,
and paused iny first night lu the laud of too
Moors iu sweet aud dioamless sleep.
