The fteet eveaIns; t was trying to tell the commieoaire at the. omnibus station that I wanted te go the route that would take me nearest to the Rue Galtkc, when a very pleasant looking old lady asked in Kaglkh what I wanted, and explained in French to the official. As we rode along she enlarged with enthuaiasm on the monygood qualities of the French; how they improved on acquaintance, hew much more agreeable they were than englishmen, how the longer oas knew them the better one liked them, aod bow the Bdgkne wen decidedly the best of the French speaking peoples. I wan not surprised, therefore, when she toM me that she left England young, married a Belgian, aad bad Uved in Belgium aod FmoM for forty yeara. My landlady, oa the other hand, was unmarried, aad hod Uved At teen yean in Park, aad any question aa to the nature of the people draw from her some emphatic remarks on their flippancy, want of olaoerity aad general carelessness in regard to truth. It k just m we often see two good witnesses go to some disputed section of the United Statoa south or west, and return with totally different accounts of the people, aooordlag to the society they fall into. But thk k a digression; let no return to toe itinerary.

Not without a amall disturbance, however. A Frenchman who spoke Bngliah remarkably well, aad tokl me he had just returned from two yean in the United States, claimed some extra right over the vacant place oa one seat because be had come in first and laid hk luggage oa it. A gentMman traveling with two kdks denied the claim, and at it they wont, threatening all sorts of horrible things, I wondered that the ladies could take it so coolly, m a fight in om of these littk cages would be as bad for bystanders as for combatants. The Fmnchrauu soon grew too excited for English and swom violently in impure Parisian. The other replied as riotously in some tongue I could not make out. "Aba! Sacra Rodin," screamed the Frenchman, "you link bees use you am Baglmh you will do m you please." "English I am not," roared tho other; "I am aa American!" And new hk brogue showed clearly that he was an Aanerican, indeed "from Tipperary, bejaalx" an American by voluntary choice aod not by the mem accident of birth. The Frenchman went for the guard, and the Irishman winked humorously at me and said, "There s no danger from these fellies not a moight-they ngbte with their tongues." Bun enough, when the guard had convinced the Frenchman that he could not have the extra spaM he dumped hie baggage on the floor and wss soon as pleasant Many of us. Wo wen soon among the hills. The scenery was alwsyepieturaeque, aad sometime) bordered on the sublime. All thk part of Normandy k said to coaeist of narrow valleys, separated by very high and rather sharp ridges. These ridges everywhere that I can mo an densely clod with timber, while the slopes next below an is pasture and the lower terraces only in grain and root crops. We pees from valky to valky through maay lone; aad dark tunnek, for the valleya have a general course to tho west, whlk we are going nearly south.

Beyond Rouen the country showed far more kvel and noon we wen in the broad aod lovely basin of the Seine.
