BROADBRIM'S PARIS LET TER, NO. 2. The Opening of the Great Exposition. Never since the day when the red- star of the Commune entrench ed on the historic heights of Belle vifle went down in- darkness and blood, has France had such a splen did opportunity for military dis play as at the opening of the Uni versal Exposition. Crushed beneath the ruthlesa hoofs of invading ar ies, rent and torn with intestine iscord, to-day she rises in her ight and proclaims to the world hat the Republic is supreme over he ashes of the Compnune and the rumbling ruins of the Empire. Whatever giay be our governmental ympathies, whether kingly or re ublican, he would be less than cristian and unworthy of the name f man, who would deny to these eople the praise and the glory of aving rescued their country from sch dire disaster and ruin as has scarcely been experienced by any ther nation in ancient or modern tme. Seven years ago to-day the ivader thundered at her gates ; seven years ago this very month, he toiuch of the incendiary left her palaces'and her halls of justice but heaps of smouldering ashes, and to :ay, from every land, from the rising to the setting of the sun, millions of pilgrims come to her with tribute to assist at the opening of her Great Exposition and to strenghthen the bond of peace whose doctrine is enunciated in the universal brother hood of maan, and the Universal Fatherhood of God. For weeks past thous&nds upon thousands of distinguished stran gers hava been podring into Paris. Princes whose blue blood went back to Pepin the Little and Char lemagne, were flanked by Pachas, Bashaws and Shays, whose pedigree anti-dated Noah and the roots of whose family tree were to be found in the Garden of Eden. For many days it has Ikeen evident that a grand miltary display was in tended. Strange uniforms appear ed more frequently upon the streets, fierce looking Turcosivith baggy breeches and vagabond look ing hats took the whole of the side walk in squiads and without as much as byv your leave, or if youi please elbowed ydtI into the gutter. Cuirassiers in glittering helmet and cuirasse ; imposing looking officers, in ponderous cocked hats and gor geous with orders of merit, lined the highways and guarded the cor ners of the streets. Dragoons armed cap en~ pied mounted on horses gaily comparisoned, dashed hither and thither as if on impor tat business and woe betide the unlucky foot passenger who hap pened to stand in their way. For weeks and weeks the high diplomatist Monse. de Bort, who has are of th manament-of the opening ceremonies, has been driven almost crazy with the question of precedence. Many princes of the blood were invited to be present, and none of them could be expected to take a back seat. The Prince of Wales was already here, and chief of the British high commission; Austria and Prussia, Russia and Belgium, and also the Kingdom of Italy, were each and all to be repre sented. Powerful potentates from India and Bashaws, yith more tails than I have time to count, each claimed a priority of right which would listen to no terms of com promise and disdained every over tire of settlement. Telegrams flew thick and fast; messengers dashed between the different departments I with notes of heavy diplomatic im port, the great principles seemingA to forget the homely adage, "That. when two men ride the same horse, one must ride behind." Uncle Sam, whose able representative was bom pelled - to uphold the dignity of his 4 country, could not afford to have I his claims overlodked by taking a I prospective view of the coat tails of t any Prince or potentate, however 1 magnificent and powerful, things c were getting to be very much i mixed, when the private Secretary < of the Prime Minister cut the gor- 1 dian knot with the brilliant sugges- I tion that they all go first. This f met the universal approbation of t the different foreign embassies, and s it is whispered that the lucky sug- r gestion of the plan may expect a < red ribbon and the order of St. a Louis, not - to mention prospective < official advancement and a pen- r sion. On Tuesday, by the kindness of E the American Commissioner, the Hon. Richard McCormick, to whom I I take this opportunity to return 8 my grateful thanks, I received a I formidable card barred with im ] perial purple, with compliments of the "Marechal President de la Re publique," inviting me to assist at the opening ceremony on the first of Ma'y, on the terrace of the Tro eadero, at the hour of Lwo precisely.1 I iuderstood that the Prince of Wales, the crown Prince of Prus sia, the King of Italy, Princes from Austria, Denmark and Sweden were also expected to be present. So I thought I must go ; it is so pleas ant occasionally to mingle into the society you are accustomed to, and which you are perfectly sure is re-1 spectable. The morning broke gloomily; the day previous Paris was visited by one of thie heaviest storms .of the season. It requires something to dampen the ardor of your true Parisian, but I don't know of anything that will take the starch out of a man's collar as quick as a shower of rain. All through the preceding night the rain had come down in occasional showe rs, and when day. broke the clouds* hung sad and gloomy over the gayest capital in Europe. To for eigners used to the noise and bus tle of holidays in other lands, there was something almost appalling in the silence and order that prevailed. There was no occasionalpopping of pistols, no individual hurrahs and no thunder of artillery. Early iis the day, but little to indicate that there was about to commence a pageant which thousands of people from other lands had crossed great oceans to see. I sometimes thinir Great Jupiter Pluvius has set his face against International Ex hibitions, for most of them that I remember have been ushered in with rain, the First Exposition in London was dreadful. The Cen tennial at Philadelphia was a soaker and to-day in Paris it sustains its miserable reputation. But rain or no rairi, the' dignity of the fourth estate must be maintained ; so the representative of your honored journal knowing that he was going into the society of princes, arrayed himself in swallow tailed coat and white kids, and as I struggled re solutely before the glass to tie one of those ravishing knots which used to send a flutter through the hearts of the young belles of a quarter of a century ago, my mem ory ran sadly back to another Ex position in this very town when surrounded by a jolly band of brother quills, Jack Finch, from Dublin, Tom Jennings, from Lon dn, Lmuwig Hich, from Berlin, and a Russian with an unpro nounceable name from Moscow, I went up to see the Emperor open the great Exposition of 1867. 1 know not if any of them still wander on this side of the Styx; but if on the other side, I hope they are enjoying much better weather for their Exposition cele bration than we have to-day in the ,ity of Paris. Getting into my car riage. I drove down to the Troca 3ero, and soon found myself in a wild maize of every description of vehicle from a dog cart to an im perial coach. Gendarmes lined the ivay, but order was out of ,the ques 4on. I was dumped ingloriously n the mud, and had to struggle up o the gateway on foot. The char Lter of my invitation claimed im nediate attention, and I was ishered at once into the grand cor -idor of the palace. Everything va4 unfinished, the bricklayers and )lasterers surprised in their job, had vidently only beat a retreat.a few ours before magnificent Goeblins mung against the walls souvenirs of he more prosperous days of France, )ut they were hung there to con eal unsightly piles of lumber and nountains of ruinous debris. At ne o'clock the foreign ambassadors >egan to arrive, and these were ollowed by a number of distin ruished personages, the most no ble being those of England, Spain nd Italy. The footmen and coach nen were all in knee breeches and ocked hats; gorgeous in vesture nd resplendent in gold lace; the arriages were marvels of the coach akers' art, and the Royal occu )ants covered with orders and rlittering in diamonds were evi lently of no common clay. At two )recisely a flourish of trumpets, ,nd a wild rush of chasseurs an ionnced the arrival of the Marechal ?resident of the Republic; the Irums beat, the brazen' trumpets )rayed, but no vivas rent the air or the ruler of France; the crowd >arted respectfully as he entered, ieads were uncover'ed, and many owed low; but the deep enthu iasm which popularity engenders as wanting, and hie passed on to he grand pavillion in silence. Jaught up in the wild throng that ollowed in his wake, I was hurried dong the corridor ; one moment I was in the midst of the delegation >f Deputies, and the next I wvas in ;he suite of the Persian Ambassa lr, soon I found myself touching dbows with the crown Prince of Denmark ; another surge, and I as landied on the grand stand dongside of the President of the R~epublic. At this moment, the icene was particularly grand and npiring.- A lovely amphitheatre becked in the gayest robes of spring stretching in a gentle slope across ~he Seine lay between you and the nain Exhibition. .Ehe stand itself ~vas of purple and gold filled with nagnficent gilded- chains for the Royal guests who had been specially vited, and President McMahon md his staff. Immediately behind, >n a raised dais, were assembled he princesses and the wives of the foreign Ambassadors, and away in a corner gorgeous in barbaric splen or the:Ambassador and puite fr-om ssam and several other savages. [n front of the stand a beautiful sascade potiredi its waters into a arble lake on the margin of which a gilded elephant was trumpeting tiis angry blast ; near by a huge rhinocerous was uttering his roar af. defiance ; opposite him a mag nificent bull lashed the air with his ierce tail; while his neighbor a proud horse undaunted by his looks seemed ready to grapple with him n the embrace of death. Over the buildings of the Ex position rose the bright gilded rome of the Invalides, under which moulder the sacred ashes of the Fgperor ; away in the distance was he sombre towers of Notre-Dame and behind it, in bold relief against the sky, the great dome of the Pan heon where in the days of the Rev lution they enshrined the naked G7oddess of Liberty. To the East like some majestic giant stood the Arc deTriomphe de l'Etoile inscribed with its splendid battle roll of a hunred victories ; and on the North rose Montmartre from whose heights only seven years ago the Empmero William, at the head ol his conquering army, looked dowr on the starving and beleagued city The storm which had been threat ening all the morning now burst up on the assembled thousands with un relenting fury; the pitiless rair poured down in torrents, and thE roar of heavens artillery drowned the thunder of the guns that greeted the President of the Re public. The opening ceremonies were a grievous disappointment to almost everybody present. TherE was no music, no grand anthem by which France and thWworld should remember the day. The entire ab sence of all enthusiasm in the most enthusiastic capital in the world was as marked as it was lamentable to those who were nhurally expect ing one of the most splendid pa geants 6f ancient or modern times. As a spectacle it was the deadest of all dead failures, as a public cele bration, to whoever has seen the Derby or the boat race on the Thames, the contrast would be the most unfavorable; but for all this, there are here gathered together such an Eposition of the world's genius and the world's wealth, as has never been witnessed in any land before. Strong with the prejudices .of my own country; glorying in its past successes as I do, I am still compelled to speak with reverence and respect of this magnificent national undertaking which in my estimation considering the difficulties which surrounded it, has had no parallel on the face of the earth. As the shadows of night fell the enthusiasm which had been wanting all day seemed to awaken as if by magic. The place de la Concorde and all along the Champs-Elysees and the boulevards were crowded with a good natured multitude. There were some faint attempts at illumination, and the shops on the various boulevards were glittering with their precious wares as usual, and so ended the opening day of the Exposition of 1878. Though thousands wire disappoint. ed in the pageant the importance of this day's work upon the permanent welfare of mankind throughout the world no living man can estimate. Its influence reaches away into the ages to come'affecting the destiny of millions yet unborn, in whose ex periences may be realized the golden dreams of the prophet and the sage when the children of men in every land shall join in the anthem sung by the morning star. Of the tremendous magnitude of the buildings, I have not yet had time to speak, of the splendid col lections of art; the wonderful crea. tions of mechanism, the gorgeous beauty of the grounds, and the un told marvels that enn;esh~ yotir steps like the net of fabled enchantress of these at the pre. sent tirme. I can only make passing mention. Its immensity no mortal mind can grasp as - a whole, so weary and worn to-night, I lay down my pen, but to-morrow I shall take it up again, and pro ceed to the fulfillment of the task which I laid out for myself two years ago at the opening of the Centennial Efposition in Philadel phia and which, if I canufulflllto the satisfaction of my readers,. I shall esteem no sacrifice too great. For the next six months,- day by day, I shall wander over these won derous hialls, and endeavor to tell as best I may the story of the mar vels that I have seen. To me it will be no less a duty than a con tinuous labor of love, and trusting that the satisfaction which I ex perience in seeing may be shared by those who shall follow me in these letters, I am yours, truly, BRADBRIM. . When a man dies, they who survive him ask what property be has left behind. The angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has sent be fore him. The effect of soap and honey upon a bee sti-ng is marvelous. It will make a fellow feel glad he was stung. - Eyes raised toward heaven are always beautiful whatever color the may be.
