The American Flag in France.

Whenever there is a display of flags in Paris, at a restaurant, at the music garden, theaters, cirouses, etc., the American flag is in close juxtaposition to the French. Whenever there is a Government display, although other flags are exhibited, the American is invariably given the post of honor alongside that of France. lam told that at the national festival last month there was an immense sale of these small flags, and that almost every house displayed the American flag. This may be taken as an evidence of the devotion of the people to a republican form of government rather than any special devotion to America, except as the founder of the system of government under which France is prosperous and happy. —Paris letter.
