THE PARIS EXHIBITION.
59
fringe and silver ornaments ( another carriage for Prince de
Talleyrand-Perigord, by Ehrler, ornamented with princely
crowns, and bearing the motto of the family, Re que Diou ;*
a brougham, by Labourdette Brothers, with a drawer con-
taining a looking-glass, and all implements appertaining to a
lady's toilet, and a miniature barouche, by Binder Brothers,
which would exactly suit Queen Mab for her excursions.
We also remark a stylish brougham lined with white satin,
by Rothschild, (not the banker) a carriage with a tent above
it, like a Turkish araba, by Bouillon; a dashing break, by Bail ;
a neat victoria, trimmed with flowered silk, by Treffil ; and a
family omnibus, by Dufour Brothers, which reminds one of
the tartanas in which the black-eyed senoras of Valencia parade
along their dusty alameda.
An annex outside contains carts and saddlery, which offer
nothing worth noting.
Following our course in the gallery, we find some interest-
ing plans of the mines of Grand'Combe, and Douchy, and of
the port ofDenain, whereby means of a sliding waggon, they
can shift the coals brought out of the pit either into a
railway truck, or into a barge lying at the quay.
"We must not leave unnoticed a handsome monument made
of similipierre and similimarbre, which are excellent imitations,
the former of stone, the latter of marble, and seem to possess
all the qualities of the original at a much lower cost > and a
splendid organ, by Merkelin Schitze, which fills the air with
its vibrating harmonies.
We now come to a very interesting part of the gallery,
Jjethtng but God.
