Paris Revives the Tattoo.
"After twenty years," says a Paris letter, "the tattoo has been revived in this city. To one who has not seen its effect this bit of seemingly unimportant news is nothing. The tattoo is the parade at 8 o'clock in the evening of the military bands, a custom which was once upon a time one of the pleasures of the Parisians. They were taken by surprise when the old custom was revived, and they were enthusiastic as only Parisians can be. Men and boys by the thousands marched with the playing bands. They sang and shouted Vive armee! and when it was all over gave great shouts of joy as if in ecstasy over the return of a long lost friend."
