The lantern is very sma-11 an4 neat, and made In a Gothic form after an ancient model; it is only of tin but is sufflciently solid. N It has ■wéll-fitted glass plates, is about the stze of a walnut, burns for some hours, ad is sold at the price of six sous. Almost everybody who returned irom si subiirban fair to Paris recemly looked as if he were outwardly 6ymboltaing the Mid-6ummer Saint, John the Baptist, "a burning and a shining light." The men and boys had the Httle lanterns in their hats, and the ladies carried them in their bouquets.
