PARIS SOUARKS AND PUBLIC GARDENS. Thesquaresin Paris generally contain large and fine collections of all kinds of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, that will endure the climate, and it is astonishing- what a large number of varieties are found in them. In the Jardin des Plantes is found the famous old Cedar of Lebanon that was brought to France in 1636 by Bernard de Jussieu, and also the first Robinia pseud-acacia that was brought to France from America in 1600. The former a grand old tree in perfect health and preservation. Of the latter only a sucker remains, but an imitation of its trunk is made in plaster. In the Jardin des Plantes, and buildings adjoining, the School of Botany meets to hear lectures and to receive practical demonstration in botany and kindred subjects. PARIS STREETS, ETC.

In some districts the catalpa is pretty numer- ou'i, and occasionally the ailanthus is found, and the Judas tree. A few elms and maples, too, are seen in places, but next to the horse chestnut in numbers comes the American plane tree with a few oi tlie.
