 THE STORY 
 
 OP 
 
 THE GREAT FRENCH EXHIBITION, 1867, 
 
 TOLD BY 
 
 The Rev. De. BREWER, 
 
 (trinity haij., cahb.) 
 
 Author of " Gnide to Science^' " HUlory of France to 1867," 
 
 " Theology in Science," " The Stoi-y of the Atlantic Cable" 
 
 in tfie Almanack of last year, Ac, Ac. 
 
 Thb Localitt. ♦ 
 
 Every one knows that Paris is irregularly bisected east and 
 west by the river Seine. About midway in this river are two 
 small islands of unequal size, the larger called the He du Palais, 
 and the smaller the lie St. Louis. The latter, about half the size 
 of the former, communicates with it by the city bridge {Pont de 
 la Citi). 
 
 The He du Palais, about one-third larger than the present 
 block of buildings forming the Tuileries and Louvre, constituted 
 for many centuries the whole City of Paris. Here the tribe of 
 Celtic Gauls, called Parisii, built their mud hovels of a circular 
 form, hatched with reeds from the surrounding river. 
 
 Clo . ^s, after his baptism, built a residence for himself in this 
 Isle or " Citd " as U was then called; and it was here that the 
 kings of France resided up to the time of Philippe II, surnamed 
 Augustus, from the month of his birth. As the Isle was the royal 
 residence, it was termed the Island of the Palace {Ue du Palais), a. 
 name which it still retains. 
 
 Crossing the river by the Pont Neuf, famous for the statue of 
 Henri I V. , we have on ou r left the Tuileries and Lcuvre, now united 
 into one block ; and continuing our walk in the same direction, we 
 pass up the beautiful Champa Elys^es to the Arc de Triomphe, 
 certainly the most classical and elegant arch in Europe, Turning 
 sharp to the south, we pass down the barrier till we come to the 
 Trocadero, and it is at this spot that we should have obtained by 
 far the best bird's-eye view of the Exhibition buildings and Park 
 that Paris could atford. 
 
 The Bird*8-Eye View.— And what is it we should have seen 
 before us ? First and foremost a monster gasometer, or circus, 
 or colosseiim, in the midst of a vast plain, called the Champ de 
 Mars, dotted all over with buildings of every sort, size, and style ; 
 with walks in every direction, and plots of every shape, some 
 planted with shrubs and flowers, others with trees of considerable 
 
al«

 pretension, and others laid down in grass. That medley of 
 medleys, so perfect in its arrangements, but so perplexing in its 
 profusion, was the monster Exhibition of 1867. 
 
 The idea was conceived by Prince Napoleon, but M. Le Play, 
 Chief of the Imperial Commission, was the Sir Joseph Paxton 
 who gave the suggestion its local habitation or embodiment. 
 
 The Champ dp SIars, selected for the site of the Exhibition, is 
 a large oblonf ') v^^ , I'aving the Ecole Militaire on the south an:!! 
 the river on th It is 3,280 by 1,640 feet, which gives a 
 
 superficial extent at 90 English acres- Its sloping embank- 
 
 ment was thrown ii i 1790 for the Fete de la Fidiration, when 
 Louis XVI made oath to maintain the New Constitution. 
 
 The Main BniLDiNo or Palace, of an oval shape, stood in the 
 centre of this plain, covering an area of 444,000 feet, or 40 
 English acres. It was constructed entirely of cast4ron, sheet-iron, 
 bricks, and glass. It was only one story high, but was adorned 
 with friezes and colonnades. Its circumference was 4,800 feet, or 
 nearly a mile ; its longer diameter 1,560 feet, and its shorter 1,200 
 feet. Its principal front and entrance £ticed the Pont d'l^na and 
 river Seine. 
 
 The Three Portions of the Exhibition comprised — 
 
 (i.) The Park surrounding the Palace, and extending along 
 the banks of the Seine. 
 
 (ii.) The Garden at the south-east angle of the Champ de 
 Mars, for the horticultural show. 
 
 fiii.) The Billancourt, an island in the river Seine, about 500 
 yards from the Champ de Mars, set apart for the agricul- 
 tural section of the exhibition and for field experiments of 
 machines. 
 
 Each of the three exhibitions had its distinct entrances and pay- 
 tables. 
 
 Admission Prices. 
 
 (1.) To the Park (including the Palace) was 1 firanc. except 
 during the reserved hours in the morning, wlien the 
 charge was double. 
 
 (2.) Direct entrance to the Garden (by the Porte de Tourville) 
 1 f. 50 c., except during the reserved hours in the morn- 
 ing, when the charge was 1 franc more. 
 
 (3.) To pass/rom the Park to the Garden 60 centimes. 
 
 (4.) Wed-ly Tickets (personal and not transferable) 6 francs. 
 
 (5.) Sub ription Tickets (personal and not transferable) giving 
 to the subscriber right of entrance to the Exhibition at aS 
 times, so long as it was open to the public, 60 francs for 
 ladies, 100 francs for gentlemen. 
 
 The Thirteen Park Entb&nces. 
 
 The Champ do Mars, as we have already observed, is oblong; 
 its short sides facing respectively the Seine and the Ecole 
 Militaire. The two long ones are at right angles, the Eastern 
 side being Hanked by the Avenue de Bourdonnaye, and the 
 Western side by the Avenue de Su^ren. 
 
 The gate of honor, or Grande Porte of the Exhibition, was in the 
 middle of the North side, facing the Pont d'l^na. Directly

 opposite, in the South side, was the Porte de TEcole, facing the 
 •' Pavilion de I'Horloge." The Grande Porte opened into the 
 Chrande Avenue ot the Park, conducting to the Vestibule or main 
 *• rtreet " of the building. 
 
 At each corner of the Park was a large entrance : that at the 
 extreme North-west was the Porte Grenelle, and facing it on the 
 Eastern side the Porte de V University. On the extreme South- 
 west was the Porte Dupleiai, and facing it on the Eastern side, 
 the Porte de Tourville, giving access to the garden. These four 
 gates received their names from the "Qnai de Grenelle," the 
 " Rue de 1' University," the " Rue Dupleix," and the " Avenue 
 de Tourville," which they respectively faced. 
 
 In the middle of each long side was a principal gate,- between 
 two subsidary ones. That on the west was the Porte de Svffren, 
 having the Porte Desaix on its north, and the Porte Kleber on 
 its south. The chief entrance of the eastern side was the Porte la 
 Bourdonnaye, having on its north the entrance called Porte Rapp, 
 and on its south the Porte St. Dominique. All these gates 
 received tbeir names either trotn the avenues in which they were 
 placed, or from the parts of the city by which they were 
 approached. 
 
 The 13th or remaining Park Entrance was the Porte dc la Oare, 
 a little south of the "Porte de Grenelle," giving admission to 
 those who came by the " Railway de Ceinture," 
 
 There were, besides these several Park Entrances, two which 
 admitted to the Exhibition on the banks of the river. That to the 
 east was called the Porte d'Orsay, from the name of the quay, and 
 that on the west the Porte de Biilancourt, from the name of the 
 island.

 Abrangem&itt of the Building. 
 
 The nucleus or heart of the ground plan was a small circular 
 turreted building surmounted with a dome, called the Pavilion 
 des Poids et des Mesures, for the exhibition of moneys, weights, 
 and measures. This centre was encompassed by an oval garden, 
 in eight parterres, adorned with fountains, and surrounded by a 
 promenade. Round this garden and promenade ran seven con- 
 ccn^.ric galleries, the tour of eadi, enlarging, of course, as it 
 receded from tho centre, till we come to the last gallery, which 
 was nearly a mile in circuit. The sixth (which was appropriated 
 to machinery in motion) had a continuous raised gangway 114 
 feet wide, whence the visitor could look down on the 
 busy scene .below where workmen were plying their several 
 callings, and terrible machines were snorting, whirling, banging, 
 cutting, sawing, toiling, and mawling with wonderful perplexity 
 ■ and deafening noise. 
 
 The concentric ovals round the centre garden were all cut 
 through by 16 sections, called streets* : One ran from the extreme 
 
 * The long diameter • beginntng from the " Orande Porte ") consisted of 
 the Orande Avenut (through the Park), the Vestibule, and the centre garden 
 walk up to tho Pavilion ; the other half consisted of the Rm« de tSetqique, 
 aiid the Avenue d' Europe, whicli led through the south part of the Park. 
 The short diameter consisted of tlie Rue de Parit (east), and Hue de Runii 
 (west). The radiating streets were called Alsace and Normandy, Proveuoe 
 and Netherlands, Prussia and Austria, India and England.

 north of the Champ de Mara to the circular Pavilion, and thence 
 to tiie extreme 8outh of the enclosure, dividing the Park and 
 building into two equal parts. Ttiis grand walk was cut at right 
 angles by 3 double streets. The two street-s of the shorter 
 diameter M'ere called the Rue de Paris (east), entered by the 
 " Porte la Bourdonnaye" ; and the Rue de Russie (west), entered 
 by the " Porte de Suffren." This diameter, like the long diameter, 
 was accessable only to the central PaVilion. Parallel to rhe short 
 diameter on the north side ran the Rue de Flandre (east), entered 
 by the " Porte Rapp," and leading direct into the Rue d'Afrique 
 (west), facing the " Porte Desaix" ; on the south side ran the Rue 
 de Lorraine (east), entered by the " Porte St. Dominique," and 
 leading direct into the Rue d'Espagne (west), facing the " Porte 
 Kleber." Eight other streets radiated from the central garden to 
 the circumference ; so that the ground plan, both of the upper 
 and lower portion of the building, was intersected by 7 streets, 
 resembling the ribs of an open &n. By passing up or down any 
 of these sections, the visitor would walk from centre to circum- 
 ference, or circumference to centre, and might take a glance, as 
 he did so, of the stores exhibited in the several galleries. 
 
 Each zone or gallery had iis specific group of exhibits, and each 
 group was subdivided into classes, the specimens being arranged 
 to the right and left of the gallery, while a label referred the 
 spectators to a corresponding number in the catalogue, where 
 the name of the exhibitor was set forth, with his full address ; 
 and the object, with its uses, design, or purpose, was amply 
 described. 
 
 Order of Arsangembnt. 
 
 If the visitor entered the Gate of Honor, he would have had France 
 on his left hand, and England on his right in every gallery. Sup- 
 posing him to follow any one of the ovals, the first seven sections 
 to the left were always appropriated to France and her colonies, 
 the next section (which would complete half the circuit) to Nether- 
 lands and Belgium. Crossing over to the other half, the first 
 section was for Prussia; the second for Germany and Austria; 
 the third for Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and 
 Sweden ; the fourth for Spain, Portugal, Greece, Koumania, the 
 Roman States, and Italy; the fifth for Russia, Turkey, Persia and 
 Central Asia, China, Japan and Southern Asia, Africa and 
 Oceania, Meir;co and Central America, South America and 
 Brazil ; the sixth section was for the United States ; and all the 
 rest for Great Britain and her colonies. So that in every case 
 if yon began with France, 3'ou ended with Great Britain, and if 
 you began with Great Britain, you ended with France. The rays 
 extended, hypothetically at least, to the end of the park ; and the 
 order observed inside the palace was in a measure continued 
 without. 
 
 Groups and their Contents. 
 
 The exhibits were sub-divided into 10 Groups, 7 of which were 
 in the building, and the rest in the surrounding park. The 
 character and contents of each Group will be understood by 
 giving its representative trophy on the Grand Prize Day, July 
 1, 1867.

 1st Group 4nd its Trophy. 
 
 This Group, which occupied the First Gallery, 48 feet in width, 
 was appropriated to Works of High Art. It was sub-divided into 
 5 Cliisses : (1) Paintings in Oil ; (2) other Paintings and Drawings ; 
 (3) Sculpture and Die-sinking ; (4) Architectural designs and 
 models ; (5) Engravings and Lithography. 
 
 The Trophy was constructed by M. Aldrophe, chief architect, 
 who took for his crowning object, Vincent Vela's marble statue of 
 Napoleon at the point of death ; round this he hnng Meissonier's 
 picture of the battle of Solferino, with pictures of Knaus, Rousseau, 
 and Relmers the Russian artist. On the shelves were placed several 
 Rutsian bronzes, with marble groups, bronze busts and statues, _ 
 
 and a few choice architectural designs. "H^CJ 
 
 This group may be called the impersonation of the brahi of man, "'^ ^-* 
 not as a social but as an intellectual being. 
 
 2nd Grodp and its Trophy. 
 
 Occupying the 2nd Gallery, some 15 teet in width, and appro- 
 priated to Materials for the LibercU Arts, was sub-divided into 
 8 classes: (1) Printing and books; (2) Stationery, binding, and 
 materials for artists ; (3) Application of drawing and modelling 
 to the common arts ; (4) Photographic apparatus ; (6) Musical 
 instruments ; (6) Mathematical instruments and apparatus ; (7) 
 Mathematical instruments and apparatus for teaching science; 
 and (8) Geographical and cosmographic apparatus. 
 
 The Trophy of this Group was entrusted to M. Drevet. Verjr 
 conspicuous at one comer stood the magnificent damascened Cup 
 of Pleasure, designed and executed by M. Dufresne, a vmaster- 
 piece of metal-work ; a landscape painted by Bouquet on a large 
 enamelled slab j beautiful ivory miniatures; photographic cameo? , 
 engraved seals— among others, an impression of the great seal 
 which belonged to the short-lived empire of Mexico, brought, at 
 the very crisis of the fgte, to so untimely an end. Besides these 
 things, were splendid specimens of binding ; specimens of litera- 
 ture ; weapons of war, most cunningly ornamented ; philosophic 
 instruments ; dreadful saws and knives for surgical uses ; fiddles 
 and guitars ; flutes and horns; harps and accordions ; wh le at the /f . 
 base was a skirting of Minton's encaustic tiles. A\*^ 
 
 The former was the inner life of the latter Group, its high 
 ideality, its more pure intellectual development. The second bore 
 the same relation to the first Group as the binding and paper to 
 the contents of the volume, the canvass and panel to the painted 
 picture, the skull to the inside brain. 
 
 3rd Group and its Trophy. \i^"l 
 
 Here were assembled Furniture and other objects for human 
 dwellings. These being very various were arranged under 13 
 Classes : (1) Fancy furniture ; (2) Upholstery and decorative 
 work; (3) Crystal and glass; (4) Porcelain and other fancy 
 pottery; (6) Carpets, tapestry, and other fabrics used in fur- 
 niture; (6) Paper hanging; (7) Cutlery; (8) Gold and silver 
 plate J (9) Bronzes and all sorts of virtu ; (10) Clocks and 
 watches; (II) Lighting and heating apparatus ; (12) Perfumery 
 and toilet articles; (13) Leather and basket work, with mis- 
 cellaneous fancy articles for household decorations.

 The Trophy of this Group was constructed by M. Leroux. It 
 was surmounted by a magnificent clock, round which were 
 arranged on shelves the most ingenious fancies, expressed in 
 wood, metal, ivory, porcelain, and glass. There were silver vases 
 and dishes of the finest workmanship of Elkington and Hancock ; 
 porcelain of Sfevres and St. Petersburg; the brilliant faience of 
 Deek and Collinot ; wondrous cut and colored glass of Baccarat 
 and Count Schaffgotsch ; Venetian glass of Salvlati ; bronzes of 
 Barbedienne, with his vases and trays of brilliant enamel 
 cloisonne ; church ornaments from Lyons, which were among 
 the finest specimens of silversmiths' work in the Exhibition, and 
 though intended for ecclesiastical purposes, might serve as models 
 for many other uses. 
 
 The first two Groups exhaust the productions of man as an 
 intellectual being ; this third and the next Group regard him as a 
 material and social creature, possessed of a body which needs to be 
 clothed and housed, but so clothed, and housed, and cared for, as 
 the luxurious ingenuity of art can provide in its highest social 
 state. The two former Groups represented intelligence and the 
 apparatus for expressing it; the third and fourth Groups were 
 the exponents of civilized life in its regard for the well-being of 
 the animal man. First mind, then body. First the godhead in 
 man, then the temple of the godhead. The arrangsment was 
 most philosophical and beautiful. 
 
 4th jRorp AND ITS Tkopht. 
 
 The 4th gallery was for dothing, and contained (13) Classes; 
 (1) Cotton and thread fabrics ; (2) Fabrics of flax ; (3) Combed 
 wool and worsted fabrics; (4) Fabrics of the same materials 
 carded; (5) Silk goods; (6) Shawls; (7) Lace, net, and em- 
 broidery; (8) Hosiery and under-clothing; (9) Dresses; (10) 
 Jewellery and personal ornaments; fll) Portable weapons ; (12) 
 Articles used in travelling ; and (13) Toys. 
 
 The Trophv of this Group was devised by M. Paroill^. It was 
 no easy tank to build into poetry such every-day household 
 articles. There may be poetry in the imaginative, there is not 
 much in the useful. Mind can speak to mind, and fancy to fancy, 
 but we can hardly imagine the ^'ases dancing with the Cyclops, 
 and the Graces tcte Ji tfete with the hand-loom weaver and cotton- 
 spinner. However, the designer did his best. High towering 
 above the rest of his objects was a cone of shawls— Indian shawls, 
 French shawls, Norwich shawls, I'aisley and Shetland shawls; 
 beneath which were brilliant specimens of silks, laces, furs, 
 muslins, feathers, and flowers of thousand hues ; while the base 
 of the monument was draped with fabrics of sober woollen. 
 Keep the feet warm, says M. ParollWe. Whatever else you 
 choose to wear, let woollen be the basis, says M. Paroillde. 'Tis 
 a wise lesson if not a poetical one. 
 
 We have now done with man intellectaal, and man animal ; 
 come we next to man industrial. 
 
 5th Group and its Tropht. 
 
 In the 5th gallery were collected all sorts of raw materials on 
 which the ingenuity of man is exercised. There were ores and 
 metals, forest and park products ; spoils of the forester, sports- 
 man, angler, and fisherman, such as antlers and other horns,

 whalebone and ivory, tortoise ^nd otiier shells, isinglass and glue, 
 eider-down and hair both twisted, curled, and spun, pinlc and 
 red coral,' bristles and furs, raollusks and crustacese; as:ri> 
 cultural products not used as food ; chemical and pharmaceutical 
 products; chemicals for bleaching and dyeing, printing and 
 dressing; and lastly, leather and skins. 
 
 The 5th Trophy was the work of M. Chapon, who certainly 
 constructed the most picturesque trophy of all out of these most 
 unmanageable materials. In the clever epitome of exhibits 
 under this group, we had shells, sponges, and corals, intermixed 
 r\^k ^*^ cocoons of the silk worm clinging to the branches of the 
 1 ^1^^ mulberry tree. Here lay the leopard's skin beside that of tlie 
 ^^Jcm. fawn, which had been made its prey; ind here were the delicate 
 
 furs of the sable and ermine, folded together with the seal and 
 the beaver. Hemp, and flax, and cotton were here, with huge ingots 
 of gold, silver, and platinum ; blocks of coal, with burs of iron ; 
 rocks in which the turquoise lies embedded, with those where 
 the amethyst has turned into crystal. Here we had the curious 
 wood of Thuya, mixed with tortoise-shells and tusks of ivory ; 
 dyes of violet, ultramarine, and vermillion, with specimens of tiie 
 tobacco leaf, either packed in bundles, twisted into cigars, or 
 growing in flower pots. 
 
 6th Group and its Tbopht. 
 
 This, in one sense, may be called the last of the galleries. It 
 was the pallerj- with the elevated gangway, from which the 
 visitor could look down upon the machinery at work below. 
 Here were gigantic boilers ; engines of all sorts worked by lathe, 
 or hand, or steam ; prime movers, railway apparatus, telegraphic 
 works, tools of all sorts ; machines for spinning, weaving, sew- 
 ing, and dyeing; carriages, harness, and saddlery; implements 
 for mining, agriculture, horticulture, chemistry, tanning, and for 
 ail the other thousand and one occupations of industrial lifd. 
 
 M. Hangard arranged the Trophy of this Group into a huge 
 pyramid, where he placed. Ingeniously enough, models of ships, 
 looms, viaducts, lii^lithouses, sewing machines, turning lathes, 
 ploughs, locomotives, hammers, pickaxes, tools of every descrip- 
 tion, and pieces of the Atlantic cable ; the whole bein^g draped 
 with Ashing nets. 
 
 Having considered man as the image of his Maker, having 
 regarded him as a luxurious social animal, having supplied him 
 with clothing, and furnished him with materials and tools for the 
 employment of his industry, we have but one more aspect to view 
 him under, and that is an eater of food; and this brings us to the 
 
 7th Qkodp awd its Trophy. 
 Beyond the high gallery last referred to, which rose to the 
 height of 81 feet, and was 114 feet wide, came a sort of colonnade 
 or Piazza all round the building, supplied with restaurants of all 
 nations, coffee houses, confectionery, and refreshments of every 
 imaginable description. Here we could drink a cup of Tea made 
 in the Russian fashion, or sip sherry-cobbler through a straw; 
 here we could eat cutlets with a silver fork, or bolt rice with a chop- 
 stick; here we could dine in John Bull fashion, from plum 
 pudding and roast beef, or cram ourselves with th<; most indi- 
 gestible tarts, made flaky with ammonia} and, truly, after having

 wandered through the 160 miles of gallery and section, looking 
 here and there and everywhere till the eyes had lost their 
 speculation, and the ankles refused longer to support their in- 
 cumbent burden — this seventh gallery was an elysium! Here 
 Antffios, uttt^rly exhausted with his struggle, touched old 
 Mother Earth again and became a giunt refreshed with wine. 
 
 The ostensible object of this 7th group was the exhibition of 
 cereals, bread and pastry, eggs and milk, meat and flsh, fruit 
 and vegetables, sauces and other condiments ; drinks of all sorts, 
 and all that contribntea to the aliment of man. 
 
 Its trophy was consigned to the charge of M. Riser, who did 
 all in his power to make the spectator wish he was all mouth, 
 and had a physical apparatus like the ftimous "Digester" of 
 Denis Papin of Blots, There was coffee in the bean, and tea Jn 
 the leaf; oranges and lemons of the most fragrant perfume, 
 breadfruit ana mangoes ; red pickles and green ; leaves of sngur, 
 and sweetmeats in most appetizing boxes; biscuits of Peak, 
 Frean & Co., with Colman's mustard; trulfles and mushroons, 
 carrots and other vegetables, with good fat bacon for the Sa.con 
 swineherd ; patties of foie grat, for the morbid palate of the o'er- 
 gorged epicure; terrines of preserved foods; good bitter ale, 
 and wine of the " Comet " vintage. 
 
 We now leave the building to glance at the three groups outside. 
 
 8th Group and its Trophy. 
 
 This was in the park, and its object was the exhibition of Live 
 Stock, including poultry, dogs, insects, and flsh. 
 
 In this Trophy M. Hockerau raised aloft the great ox of the 
 last Mardi Gras, stuffed of course ; and round him were grouped 
 sheep and poultry. The base of the monument was draped with 
 corn-sheaves ; and various de\ices contrived with agricultural im- 
 plements were displayed in different parts. 
 
 9th Grokp and its Tropht 
 (Also in the Park) 
 
 For specimens of horticultural works, including hot-houses, 
 flowers, vegetables, fruits, seeds and forest trees. 
 
 M. Courtep^e did honor to this group by an enormous bouquet 
 of flowers and fruits, not forgetting a few garden tools most 
 capable of the picturesque. 
 
 Last scene of all that '• ends this strange eventful history " was 
 the 
 
 10th or Imperial Group and its Tropht 
 
 For exhibits designed to improve the physical and moral condi- 
 tion of the people. It was subdivided into seven classes: — 
 CI.) Apparatus and methods used in conveying instruction to 
 children; (2.) Books and other means of instructing adults; 
 (3.) Furniture and clothing, in which cheapness was combined 
 with service; (4.) Clothing of all countries; (6.) Model dwel- 
 lings for the poor ; (6.) Manufactures by skilled operatives ; 
 and (7.) Tools pecuUar'.y suited to skilled workmen. The 
 Trophy was designed by M. Rumpelmayer, who strangely mistook 
 its object, and gave us a mdange of false jewelry, embroidered 
 slippers, and Brummagem antiques, though in what way such 
 profitless vanities could represent the Emperor's idea, must be 
 left to another CEdipus.

 The Emperor himself camo in for a gold medal here, for the 
 Emperor was an exhibitor, and instead of a curious loc1<, as Louis 
 XVI would have delighted toshow.or a dancing ^>a^rt, the deliglit 
 of his great grandfather, or a huge wig, the folly of tlie grand 
 monarque, he walked in the footsteps of our own I'rince Albert. 
 and contrived a model cottage for workmen. Of cour.se the 
 Majesty of France refused the honor, of course the jury would 
 not hearken to his refusal; so Napoleon received the medal. A 
 buzz of applause followed, and the boy prince witli natural im- 
 pulse ran to his imperial father and kissed him. No bod allegory 
 this of the Great Exhibition itself. 
 
 The Pabk. 
 
 The park surrounded the buildincc on all sides, occupying the 
 entire surface of the Champ d? Mars, except indeed the south- 
 east corner, called the Ga?-den, and reserved for horticultural 
 exhibits. Two main broad paths cut each other at right angles, 
 dividing the park into four equal parts, called respectively the 
 French quarter, the English quarter, tlie Oevman quarter, and the 
 Belgian quarter. 
 
 It was laid out in the English system, but the winding walks 
 preserved a certain relation to the interior divisions, currying on 
 the radiating sections of the palace, and preserving the nation- 
 ality. 
 
 A large number of fancy buildings dotted the park In every 
 direction, sheds for cattle, pavilions for princes, kiosques, chalets, 
 Mooilsh baths, a palace for the Bey of Tunis, theatres of all 
 sorts, an international laboratory, a general bakery, an imperial 
 tent, a paviUon for photo-sculpture, a church, French and English 
 lighthouses, a Russian izba, an English cottage, a bamboo Japanese 
 house, 8* Turkish mosque, a Spanish cafd, a post office, and many 
 cthe"^ architectural freaks, more fanciful and numerous than 
 " can my tongue deliver." 
 
 If all the best articles of all the shops of the world could be seen 
 in a Pantaguellian kaleidoscope It would give a fair representation 
 of the gigantic bazaar exhibited in Franc », in the year of Grace, 
 1867. If some genius of the lamp could conjure Into a single 
 field a miniature specimen of all the characteristic house? le 
 earth, and would dredge the field with a sprlnkllnsi c' ' s, 
 plants, and sods, It would give no bad Idea of what was strangely 
 called the park ; a park, certainly not according to the English 
 notion of the word, but sufiBclently agreeable to the French Idea, 
 which applies the term to almost any enclosure, as a pare for 
 oysters, a pare for rabbits and harPs, a pare for sheep, a pare dc 
 construction which is a yard lor ships, a pare aux vaches, which 
 is only a cow-yard, and a pare d'agrdment which may be a 
 common tea-garden. 
 
 No doubt Napoleon out-heroded Herod in his Great Exhibition, 
 and till men grow to tlje size of gianis and live to the age 
 of patriarchs, it will be hard to go beyond him. The idea 
 began in London In a fairy dream, and being run thread-bare, 
 assumed a monster proportion where all that Is fairy was done 
 away, and all that is thoroughly human was largely developed. 
 It was the acorn full-grown, and who will care to see the oak-tree 
 in its decay?
