tlint ho is well acquainted with llio

tho Tuileries, llio luvnlidu, the Hotel

Tour St. Jacques, the St. Chapcllc,
that trcm in stone: the Hotel Unity, a
private residence resembling a inueuni

professes to like and traces of which ho
seeks with Mich scorning eagerness dur
ing his stay in Europe.
Of Such, writes a correspondent of
The New York Situ, is the Hotel Lam
bert. Jn tho historical quarters of old
Paris, in the lie St. Louis, near the an
cient church dedicated to tho sainted
king of France, under tho shadow of
Iho towers of Notre Dame, its walls
bathed by the swift waters of the Seine,
stands a building which has dclicd
timo and revolutions, to-day seems to
tiso in protest against tho encroach
ments of frivolous, futile, pleasure
Keeking ora. Tho hotel, as It is called
- palace as it is was erected toward
tho closo of tho century of Louis XLV.
by the wealthy financier whoso nanio it
bears. No expense was spared to
make it ono of the most sumptuous
residences in Paris. A lavish and in
telligent hand filled it with treasurers
of art with a profus. on remarkable
even at a period when such prodigality
was loss rare than it is now. Somo of
tho costly ornamentation and a few of
tho precious works of art have, sadly
enough, been sacr.liced to tho vitiated
taste of n succeeding generation and
to a lovo of change and roinodeling,
but enough of tho original remains to
uiako it magnificently unique. Tho
Hotel Lambert was almost miraculous
ly spared during tho revolution of
It, however, thou became national
property, and as such was indill'erently
kept up. Somo pictures were sold to
defray expenses, and tho priceless fres
coes were damaged by damp. The
work of decay would have progressed
unchecked had not Prince Adam Cs.ar
torlsky bought the property.
Tho prince was a Lneal descendant
of tho kings of Poland. Ho hud
repeatedly and earnestly endeavored to
deliver his country from the iron rule
of tho Muscovites, and exile was the
penalty of his patriot sm. Ho emigrat
ed to France, and linally settled in
Paris with his family, and after a year
or two purchased tho Hotel Lambert, a
fitting abode for tho ban htd heir of u
royal race. Ho had tho artistic foiiso
to leavo unaltered tho characteristic
features of the residence, merely ro
storing tho beauties dimmed by nog
leet.
A lofty porlc cochcrc leads from the
htrcot into an inner court. Facing it a
broad stoop of eight steps loads to a
f crron, from which two short circular
flights rise, to meet again at tho foot of
a monumental .staircase. This stair
ease is entirely of white marble, and
the balistrado Is sculptured and fretted
like lace. The eleval on of the dome
is enormous. Tho s do walks are lined
with tho most perfect of fJobol n tapes
tries. Above u gallery, equally carved
in delicate open tracery, leads to the
apartments of the first floor. Time
has mellowed the dazzling whiteness
of the marble, and lout It an addition
al grace.
Through a paneled anteroom you pass
into the first reception-room, with its
tall, dark, wooden dado and a colling
in deep caissons rh lily painted. Tho
highly-wrought ggantio brass clock,
(he uuulolubras, and the quaint massive
dogs and andirons tiro in tho purest
stjlo of Louis XIV. The apartment
abounds in pictures and historical fur
niture, and lends into the Mate saloon,
form ng u perfect square. Tho decora
tion of tho walls consists of white pan
els, with heavily gilt mold ngs framing
lofty mirrors rising from tho parqueted
Hour to the highly ornamented ceiling.
Four bandoliers of rock crystal hang
nt the four corners, and, when lit for a
foto and nlinctly relleoleil in tho mir
rors they give nu Iniprosslon of dnz
il ng br 11. anoy nnd limitless expanse.
The mantelpiece is of pink marble, tint
the principal interest of the room coll
iers in tho tiutheut o portraits of M.
mid Mine. Lambert, the founders of the
Jiotel, ami in good likenesses of the
CszartorUki family in their rich nation
al co.stumos.
Thence you pass into n gallery sot
cnty feet long and fifteen feet wide, I.t
by eight tall, wide windows. The
architecture, style, and ornamentation
are at once chaste, artistic, nnd mag
nificent. It ends at, the further extrem
ity with three ha) opening into a
charming balcony, with richly wiought
iron balustrade, from which a unique
t!ot of Par s is obtained extending
over a distant reach of tho Seine. Tho
river parts at tho foot of tho hotel gar
dens to embrace in its two channels
the whole Island SU Joints. Modern
Paris seems annihilated. The Toiler e.
tho Champs Klysuas. tho boulevards,
with their noise and meretricious glare,
are forgotton. 'J wo hundred jours are
as if they hud never been.

On tiio raised "round floor arc the
private- apartments of Prince Withold
Cszartorisky, son of Prince Adam, the
first possessor, and of hi family.
Lofty, comfortable, elegant, and con
venient, they boar the 'rapress of
patriarchal, cheerful, elevated home
life. All who have entered them have
received a courteous, kind, dignified
welcome. Prince Withold married
iMargtiorilo d'Orleans, daughter of II.
H. H. the Duo do Nemours. She is al
lied by her mother, a princess of Saxo
Coburg, to all the royal families of
Oormaiiy, and by her father to all tho
Bourbons. Her simplicity of manner
and address at once puts her guests ai
their ease. She is tall, graceful, and
possesses a wondcrfl charm of expres
sion. Her husband has boon and is
still strikingly handsome. Exile and
a yearning for his distant fatherland
have prematurely aged him and given
him a gravity and austerity beyond his
actual years, but ho is nevertheless as
courteously hospitable as the pr ncess.
With royal munificence tho Cszartor
iskys have consecrated one wing of tho
hotel to an orphanage and school for
Polish children. It is their wish and
their aim that those young waifs should
bo instructed and inado to cherish their
national tongue, keeping warm and
strong within their breasts tho lovo of
Poland. Every year whon Easter comos
round an old and touching custom opens
wide the portals of tho Ilotol Lambert
to every Polo, rich or poor, young and
old, who nut' happen to pass before it.
It is a habit of tho country that tho
great day of tho resurrection should bo
celebrated by a banquet called tho
"Beni." Tho priest goes around in ev
ery family, bless ng tho tables spread
with viands. They are always cold and
are eaten standing a traditional repast,
in commemoration of tho pascal lamb.
Conspicuous tiro enormous cakes con
cocted from recipes found oniv in Po
land. At tho Hotel Lambert tho Bon! is
sumptuous indeed, S.x largo tables
laid in the gallery groan under tho
weight of tho family plate and the ovor
roplenished faro. Tho prince and prin
cess, assisted by their sistor, Countess
Dzelinska, stand from noon 1 11 evening
ministering to all comers. No invita
t.ons are issued. Whoever chooses to
come is made welcome, bo ho noble or
plebiau, tiio only condition to his ad
mittance being that he speaks the
tongue of his host. This annual agape,
this gathering around him of those who
aro of his race and of his laud, is tho
ono green oasis in the eternal plain of
the (.'sartorisky's exile.
Tho .Aged French Parrot.
A centenarian named Lenoir died re
cently in Paiis at tho ripe ago of 103
years. Lonoir was n parrot. During
tho reign of Louis XVI. ho was hatched
out In the royal palace, and there ho
continued to live through all tho vicis
situdes that animated French govern
mental all'alrs. Since the roigu of
Charles X. it has been very dillioult to
teach any now phrases to Lonoir. but
he possessed already many that ho chat
tered with groat volubil.ty and oflou
w tli singular inapposileness. They did
got him to learn "Vivo Gambottsi!" and
he used to alternate that phraso with
"A bus Robtisp erred'' which was a
memory retained from tho timo of tho
Reign of Terror. Lenoir's last words
were "draco pour Mario Antoinette."
When ovonts in tho Reign of Terror
and names of those thou conspicuous
were ineiitionedbefoio him ho would
