FRENCH ExILEs-Among the refugees from op-
preston who have sought shores to participate
with US in the enjoyment of political freedom are
two French gentlemen, Messrs. Quesne and
Chambonniere, whose fortunes present some pc.
culiar features. Mayor Upham, of Salem, states
in letter to Mayor Seaver, of Boston, that zone
of them, Quesne, is a lawyer by profession, and
Mere, was schoolmaster. They are Intelligent
and interesting persons, and have suffered much
for their principles" These gentlemen escaped
from Cayenne, the French penal colony, to which
place they had been transported for maintaining
an adhesion to republican principles in France.
They are in destitute circumstances, and with a
view to enable them to reach New York, and to
establish themselves in business, have prepared a
lecture, which is said to be of great force and
eloquence, and which will be read for them at the

ALMs-eIvERs have been repeatedly cautioned
against giving to any of the piteous that be-
set them in the streets, or that ring at their door
bells. They all of them professional; the mise
ry is part of the getup of their character. They
seldom want food or clothing. They want nothing
but money. few years since the introduction Of
the ticket system nearly put stop to mendicancy
at doors. The police should be instructed to lock
up street beggars strictly it is done in Paris
and in London. If we wish to be of service to the
poor, should take down their address, visit
them at home, examine into their circumstances,
show them the way to get out of pauperism into
self-support, and furnish them with the means.
We should rarely administer palliatives, but al
ways attempt a cure. In this way, too, we may
become acquainted with men who are struggling
brayely against misfortune, and assist them the
right moment to overcome it and go on prosper
ousy.
If we cannot afford the time nor make the exer.
ton to do this, we have no right to be charitable
in fact, not charitable. We are merely
foolish persons, who throw away our money and
make mischief.-N. Y. Evening Post.
