+ Mr. Joseph E. Hover: Sir: have made use of
your Black Ink sufficiently long to ascertain that it
possesses all the desirable qualities which

used part Of the specimens Of ink which you left with
me- and am prepared to speak favorably Of them
both Since began to use metallic pens, have
never been able to obtain ink which would not moro

The marking ink possesses in my opinion, all the
qualities which are requisite to give to the article
very high character. Yours, respectfully.

they began again, I'd dash another, and keep

The FoundIings ofParis--Mr. Weeds
Letters.

a late number of the Albany Evening Jour-
nal contains another excellent foreign letter
from the pen of the editor, +. Weed, Esq. BY
the way, now that Mr.. Weed has returned, we
may embrace the occasion TO repeat what we
have heretofore said, that his European Letters
have been read with much interest and plea
sure in this quarter, and have contributed not
little to enhance the already high reputation
Of their author. In the last above referred to.
Mr.. Weed gives an account of a visit TO the
Hospital for infants abandoned by their parents,
an institution that has existed for 300 years
AT is not, however, devoted exclusively to the
reception of oftoundllngs. Parents who are On.
able or unwilling 10 support their offspring, are
allowed to leave them here, accompanied by a
declaration of abandonment made before an Off
Ger. Most Of the infants, however, are abando
gateway of the Hospital, through the wall of
which box is exposed TO the public street The

last ten years. i,2l3 From 1000 TO 1900 of
these children were yearly sent from other Hos
pias, frcm mothers who were unable to take
care of them. There was, too, diminished
number in each OF the ten succeeding years.
In l-:}0 the number was 5l3S, and in 1899, it
was 3le2. OF this last number, s3l or nearly

children belonging to the institution, and pla-
cCd out at nurse, in 1899 was 1919. Nurses
come daily from the country after children, for
! flames month";
| Mr. Weed adds -
There is not generally more than one hun.
drcd infants in the Hospital. OF this number
| when we visited it, ten had been received with.
