II ia tbia brilliant tide cf tba French character whiob appeari moet forcibly at flrat sight. Tbe French wit and vivacity are foroid opan tb* notice at every atreet corner, al every theatre. Wherever two or three Frenchmen are gathered together their tongnee begin to clatter and their arma begin to fly ; the resulting thoughts miyoolbe vary profound, but tbey are generally bright and intsresllng. Thie quick wit ol tbe French race la re- flected in its brightest form ia tbe French wotuau, that B( arklu g, vivacious creature, whose eyes, when ahe ia alone, " aeem to carry on a conversation wilh Ihe chain, for lack of better ojmpany." Balaao de- clares tbat all tbe attractiveness ol a French woman residsi in an " iudesonb able grace." In truth, the is nol prstly, at least to the fastidious American taste, bni with ber black eyes, sparkling vivacity, ecqueltieb grace and intensely feminine ways, the tugs away al tbe masculine heart in a moet irreiiatibla and alarming way. But there if another faoe to the shield. Tbere mutt be two aide* to every troth in thia world wbere "we we all and the con. trary ol all." From tbi* qaiok-witltdnea* and versatility, at M'- Tauie baa poiuted oal, there follow all tbe other na'fonai characteristic* wbiob arc so puosliag al first sight. Thii quioknsM and nalura precocity s>on oaoee a need ol new and agreeable aenaation ; %dehoate aud exact iog spirit KJ jn flnda Ihe old amneennut* wearisome and crave new and varied pleaaurea. Being reitleas and nnaatitfied with life's real pleasure* tbey turn with unsatisfied longing to *eek their pleasure in operfleial forms, trying to Hud nawneaa in new ocmbinatione, chiefly pleased with what Is new and linking, Ibey become easily reetleia, fnv jlous, dilettantes, gal ant* aud libertines. Theatre* are a good index of national life. 01 all tbe forty theatre* of Parie Ihere are but two which at tbe present moment offer aerioua drama* of high order. Aside from these there are nothing hot comedies, barleiqoes, vaudeville*, melodramas and opera bonflei. Many of base, il is true, are very bright, aod of high literary merit, hot tbey lack all resl depth and earnentnau, all sincere and elevating effect. Toe Iwo serious drama* which are now being played owe their loooeas to other causes Ihao their inlrinaic nature ; one ii ncoessfol beo&au the leading role ii played by Barab Barnbardl, the other, " The Jacobites," Oappia'i new drama, owea moat of Its popolarity to tbe wonderful interpretation given to tbe leading rob by tbe young debutant, Mile.

The neweal book, tba steal Ircak ot intelligence or pbautaay la hat whiott rols* lue day. Novelty seams ynonymoae witb amusement, and amose- menl wilh life. 'When lb tteuau'a philo^ophieal drama, ihe "Pretrede Nemi,'' a book of tbepio- oandest pbilonopbiosl tbonght, earns out a ew wneka ago, I was told by a bright rount Freccb friend that I ought to read t.

Not a word of ill viewa, or is depth, bat il was new, it waa all tbe :age; ii was, therefore, amusing and should bo read. Thia tame friend ia a bard atudsnt, work- ing t-t hia book* steadily all day, and devoting bia bigbta to dancing, tbeatrea aud all the world of social lite, coming Borne generally at about 1 in tbe morning, ri-it'g al 7 ad beginning Ibe round ol work and amusement over again. Tbi Ibe Freuoa o*ll life. He said to me one day, " Ah I it'a only the Pariaian* wbo really know how to live ; we amoae ourielvo* every moment of tbe time ; we i tally live, tbe rest ot tba world exist." I know another joucg man, col a bard student indeed, bal a (air type of tba exaggerated apecimeua which thia interne desiro (or tniu-imcui prcdoeei. Ha ia naturally a bright young fellow, bat hie nature baa bet u ao far corrupted ia thia eternal Draggling alter pleaaure that be can aee no other aide to life. Tba flrat article in his creed of philosophy, u with ao many ot bia tallow beings, is tbat amoaeiuent ia the only thing worth working (or And ha doea work for il, bard. No wonder tbat tbe French have a "horror ot ennui pushed even to a religion." Ii i* a deity whom tbey worship wilb all the devoutnetii born of fear. Tbia yoorg man'* vocabulary ot adjectives i ni fly confined to the word "ebio," a word expressing tbe mixture ot Ibe two ideas, bright and aljliab. Everything wilh him ia " obio," from the latest novel to Alfred da Maenet'e poemi, from bia Hweetbearl to bia new auil ct ololbta. A few Sundays ago he obatoed to atlend oborob. Oa bit return, beicg asked bow he liked tbe sermon, be replied in a perfectly serioos way : " Oh I it wa vary chic." That word is to him the R jperlative ot all earthly virtues ; to attain tbe " obie " ia the ideal la which all bia power* are bent. Aa a natural result of thia desire for ocivelly tod amusement, tbe Frenchman soon come* to uae gaiety as a standard lor tbe movement of ail the good tbioga of lite. A tew daya ago an article appeared in a French newapaper lamenting the decay ol French wit. Tbe writer com- plained that France ia fast losing ber old lime merriment and drifting into a slate ot eaduorH. II is certain thai we sre bt oommg abominably sad," be cried. " We sre becoming sad because we are becoming stupid. Oar politic* are stupid ; religion U no longer gay. Tbere ia not a single political party wh Vi has a programme that H clear, rerighkly, willy, French." Tbia peculiar me bod ot criticism often b-eaks out In the moat unexpected pUo. Tba other day I vi-ited tbe oalaeombi. A large parly ol about a hundred deeoended Ibe aame day. Each wai provided witb a lighted candle, and welollowed one another iu solemn procession through those damp, winding corridors, where that world of mocking skeletons is arranged on each tide 01 the path in tbe form ot a huge woodpile with ornaments and'lriex.-a ot aknlla and aroea-bonea, and labelled witb appropriate sentimentp Suddenly a) young I'reuob man ahead ol ma burst cot with the apt and characteristic espression, "Oestjoll; maie ei n'esi pas gal." (It U pretty, but not amusing ) To ons wishing to obtain a practical idea of tbs intenee ourioaity of the French, the experiment u a limpla one. Simply atop with a friend or two before a ahop window and gase intently aa if something eepaoi- ally attracted tbe atteutiuH, or look curiously up at a window in a house or down at a spot in tbe street io three minotss thers will be a crowd. Poblio opinion baa mads allowances for thu cariosity, and popular etiquette allows one to stop as often aa ha pleaaas to gazi ia the beautiful ahop windows. Tba business Ihoroogbf area are sometime* almost impaa- able on thii account, hj too street ven- dore drive a thriving trade, and in spite of tbe inconvenience to pasters by. I wa told the other day ot an experiment tried a lew years ago in regard to Freneh curiosity by an enterprising young man. He went one day to one of tbs most travelled bridges ovsr tbs Seine, and tying a piece ot lead to one aod ol a airing, dropped the lead over into tbe water. He than aaid to a venerable old gentleman wbo paused. " Kir, I am making soms mssanre- menli here for the Government in regard to the depth and awiftneaa of tbs current. of y ansietant baa suddenly had to leave. Would you oblige ma by boiling tbia string out at arm'a length tor a few momenta until I can oome back and relieve yon. But be vary careful how yon hold it, for a valuable measuring iuatrament ia attached to the other end." Tbe old gentleman puffed up witb the thought ot being aakad to ataiit in ao important a work, gladly oooaented ; tbe young man qaiekly mads for tbe other end of the bridge and took op a poiat of vantage from which to watch reiulta. Boon a paaser by, attracted by tbe eight ot an old gentleman, vacantly holding on to the end of a airing, atopped and asked him what it wae for. He, con- saions of bis dignity, refused to answer. The paeaar by grew excited and stopped to watob, auolber patser by likewise grew ouriouf, then anolber joined Ibe anzioua throng, another and another, till at latt the bridge waa blocked by a wildly exoiud mob, and tbe polioe bad to be called |p to clear the bridge and rslieve the dignified old gentleman from bis patient exercise of a bogaa duty. II ii the eame deaire for novelty, thii pre- ferecoe of form to reality, which has made the French naturally a people who look to tbe outward expression of things rather tbso to tbsir inward msaning. And so tbey have become * raoa wbo wish every- thing to be Ryetematiied aud arranged in a beautiful logical form, but rarely trouble themaelvee to examine whether or nol their theories are cansiatant with tbe facti. Tbe theory ia beautiful and logical; that n enough ; the practical aide ie of little im- portance. Tbia preference of form over the reality hat been t-h iwn in every phase of Freuoh Ills. It has been exemplifind ia every page ot tbetr hialory. A nation of political pUiloFophara, they have lived oonatanlly Io revolutions. This fondness for theories baa led them for tba laat century in a wild rsee altar abalriot truths, np bill aul down, roablLg from one exoeia to another, build- ing governments after their Ideal form, without regard to practical tseta, only to aes them tumble down st the first roogh wind and have Ihe pleaanra of building them np again. It is ibis same fondness for form in tbs external order, without regard to Ibe innate reason of things, which seems (o havs made tbs Freneh woman at ones the creator and erealore of laabiona. Eton one e.l thae charming creature* aeems to think Ii ber flrat duty to society aud to civilisation to drssi exsolly like ths laebioo plate, and an extremely ugly faeblon plate it I* atprsieDt. This same reason makes the Frenchman vary sensitive to the idea of honor and leea sensitive to tbe idea ot duty ; " tblf aame adbercLCi to mere formality causes tbe French gaUaula to itlll keep op tbe hollow mockery of duelling lung after all real meaning (it il t.ver had ai>>), at lean all nulianily aud dauger, had departed from the custom. About a week ago I clipped trom a morning paper tbe teriooa aooonut ot Iwo obildiib exbibitioua oliword play which had joal been given uuder tbe name ol dnela. In one, at tbe third roond, oaa ot the princi pale wa* lightly woaaded on tbe biceps wilb a wound ot one and one-filth itobea in depth, " which, according to tbe advice ot the two doctor, preaent, rendered Ibs continuation ot ibe combat impossible.' Tbe other wai a duel between a yoang viioouul and a yoang marqnla over a pair ot black ayet, a terrible contest ot rivtl, paaeiouste lovers, which lasted " abont Are miuntee," in which tbe marqnii " waa Bligbtly wounded in tbe rigbl arm, and the wiiuexaea declared tbat tbe demandi of honor ware istiafled." Yel thia waa in ' affair of honor," and proved them both to be man ot courage. Not long ago I read a complaint tbat tbia aame intense formality ii observed In all the Oavernnaenl aerviee, and declaring tbat an immeuM amount ol red tape baa to be used, and the good white paper n polled before anything can ba acoomplii<bed in the lioapleat tranaaoiion. To tnoh an exteolia tbii carried on that even the public adminiatration of charily la ollen most {ffeeiaally clogged by useless formali- ties. A oaie wa* cited ia which charity had been refuted to a poor itreet wait oaat upon Ibe world alone aa a child, becauie, foreootb, she could uot prodoo* a regular certificate ol birth. Whereupon the writer moat pertinently queationed whether " tbe aol of living depeude opon a certificate to tbat effect or upon tbe obvioai fact of existence." The same atUntion to outward sigQi may account for the eagerness ihown by all Frenchmen to become members of tbe Legion of Honor and wear its red ribbon iu the button-bole, although Ibal honor has been extended to so many tbat il baa become a veritable legion, and aeemi to have lout all real value. As I heard a friend remark the other day, men teem now to be moet dUtingniibed by not being admitted to it. The other afternoon, upon the Avenoe de I'Opera, I noticed tbat of eight men who passed me in snooeasion no less than five wore the red ribbone, and two of then had the battooa whioh ilgnify that they ware offiaeri in tba Legion. The ruling paaiiion U atrong, even in deatb. Tbe Freneh funeral i* perhapi one ot there aeeaae whiob ia tbe moat t > [ital ot French character. I well remember on* wlinh I uir tome daya urice. I wai walking down a aide alreet through s gently driuling rain, when luddmly I aw a large orowd ahead ot me blocking np the read. tun harrying quickly ap I found thai it was a funeral. Evtry one ela* had slopped to watob, ao I atopped too. Tbe wailing crowd waa composed obitfly of bumble folk*, laborers with their long blue frocks, petty tradeaaea with toiled clothes and ibarp faoei, boosemaidn with their tidy blaek dreaaea and jiuuty white cap*, contrasting ao well with their black hair, here and there a well-dreaeed gmtleman wailing with tba rail. I whimpered to a laborer standing Bear me, " Wbo is dead V H* whiipered back, i' I don't know, bat it i* aome big man a Preetdenl of tome academy, I believe." At-d it wae evidently tba funeral ot a prominent pt reon, f jr there w*a a o impauy of B jldiern drawn op before tbe home witb the bnd playing a funeral dirgo. E'gbt young min in solemn black were standing iu front of the hsarae rsady to curry a large wreath ol artificial blaek and pnrpli flowers aboal four list ia diamster, bear- ing tbe legend " To Oar Master," bat looking so cold and artificial in ipite ol The door of the. hous was dr aped iu" a huge artificial portal of staring black and white, bearing tbe initial " Q." Tba hearse wa draped in the same) wiy and bore the lami lettsi, Boon after I otme ap the proeeeeion brgsn to move and Ibe hearse patted by, wilb thi huge wreath borne in front. Tbe hearse wae literally covered wilh wrealbi, inside and oal, bat they were all artifioial, all made ou the some plan, and all large, aa il affection could be measured by the amount ol money ipanl In baying wreaths. Tney were ol all colors, red and yellow pre- dominating. On laoh corner of the hearse four great wieatha bors Ihe title* of Ibs dead man. utsling how long he had bien President of Ibe Academy ot Science and olavalier of the L'gion of Honor, etc., eto. The coffin, too, w* of a alaring black and white, like) the hearse, and was covered by a boge outinread robe of rid, tba robs ot tbe aoadimy to which tbe dead man had belonged. By the tide of Ihe hearve ware eigbl hired altendanti, tear on eateh aide, witb lolemn faoea aod bUok funeral ooatamea. In front esme a hired attendant wilh a huge cane, behind another attendant with knee breechea. Tbi coach- man, too, with hia aoil ot blaek and oocked hat, ahoald bave looked deooronaly aeriooa, bat j nil as) be paaaed ba winked to a friend etanding in tbe crowd, whioh rather spoiled tbe efftol. Behind came a orowd of frianda and the society members, all on toot, yoang and old, (jiay-bcarda *ud ladles, all of the men atarilng bareheaded upon their sb w aod reveteat walk to tbe cemetery. After Ibat came the) long line of heavily draped mourniog earriagti, wilh the real moarnirs, sad and real in appeiranoe. I noticed, a* tbe bsarse pained us, tbat every man in the crowd took ofi hia hat in token of respeet to tbs dead, and mtny devout Oatbolioa crossed tbemselvei rever- ently. Bach is tbi general character of French) funerals, ranging in detail according to the amount oi money expanded, from a gor- geous array of the characters jost described to the simple little hearse with Iwo hired attendants io modest clothes, and two or three mourners walking hroaen-heartedly behind. Bat tbsy all present thii contrast ol conventionality and show, with real sympathy and mourning. And after all, a* these f alie wreaths bave a meaning for them and exbibil their pity and sorrow, and since sorrow and sincerity of mourning U the eiaential thing after all, why may not their wiy of testifying their grist be jait as good si any ?
