On th Monday following the president's arrival In France the cables conveyed to us the following interesting bits of information: That his bed is of mahogany bound with brass and shaped like a gondola; that he chose a church of his own denomination; that he joined vigorously in

the sinpinp; that he wore black morning coat, grsy j

trousers and a hirh hat; that he did not take a seat in the flrsi row of pews, but sat the eighth row; that he paid great attention to tin? preacher's discourse; that he wore the same air of serenity as r. his arrival; that he felt at home. At Krest "the women wept openly" at his approach, just why not staled. The palace of Prince
