one Of Thier's Tricks.

He was born in Marseilles on the 18th
of April. 1897. His father was black
smith. but bis mothers relatives got him
a scholarship in the Imperial Lyceum Of
his birthplace, where he went through bis
studies with splendid success. When
eighteen years old Theirs went to AK to
attend the lectures of the faculty of law
in that town. There he began to play
the role of party leader among his COM
rades. haranguing vehemently against the
restoration of the Bourbons, and in favor
of the Bonapartism which his veteran elo.
quence has since SO earnestly denounced.
One of his tricks at that period is evi-
dence of how decidedly the child is father
of the man; for very tricky indeed has
been the Mirabeau nsouchs, as he was
once branded by distinguished woman.
A prize had been offered for the best
eulogium on Vauvenargues by the Acad-
emy of AK. good and peaceful acade-
my, which to make use of Voltaire's wit
ticism has always succeeded. like an hon.
est woman. in keeping itself from being
talked about. Theirs determined to win
the prize, and sent in his manuscript
1t was deemed pre-eminent, but unlucki-
ly the name of the author was either d.
vined or betrayed. and as there was no
other candidate who deserved the palm,
the worthy members of the Areopagus,
rather than award it to the little Jacobin,
put off their decision to the following year.
At the appointed time the manuscript
of Theirs made its Temperance, but in
the meantime production had come from
Paris which eclipsed all its competitors.
and the judges fastened to crown it, &C
cording, however, to the paper presented
by Theirs the humble favor of an access
The name of the Partisan victor was
then unsealed, and great was the conster-
nation of the academicians when it was
found to be that of Theirs himself. He
had INDUCED in the malicious pleasure Of
mystifying the learned gentlemen by treat
ing the subject in new point Of view,
causing the composition to be copied in q
strange hand, sending it on q journey from
AK to Paris and from Paris to AK. and
thus obtaining both the prize and the ac-
ssit.-Lippincott's Magazine.

however in themselves excellent. When
children are addressed directly. their
minds recoil, or at. least their attention is
apt to flag; but their own shrewd obser-
vations on what they see done or hear
said by others, or the estimates which they
perceive their parents to form of things
and characters. and on the governing
principles by which they judge their con-
duct to be regulated. sink deep into their
memories. and. in fact. constitute by far
the most effective part Of education. .

The Committee consider the rents paid for armo-
ries in many instances very excessive. The sub
ect Is now under investigation by expert in such
matters, and the Committee hope to report in detail
in this point within short time
The Committee find monthly payments of $3.50 to
an individual named on the books as Inspector Of
Armories" yet after dilgent search they have been
unable to find him. and they learn that he is seldom
seen at the armories.
The pay of the armorers (S2 per day., your Com
mittee deem as lower than that of any other class
of County employees they have met WITH and they
also find general complaint OF great hardness in
the payment of these wages.
In concluding our report upon the matter sub
mitted to us, we should fail in our duty if We did
not place upon record the fact that from the Con-
troers office we have ever received prompt atten-
ton and precise compliance with our acquisitions
for papers and documents which it has been able to
afford The experts in the several departments upon
whom we have called for assistance have readily
corded it, and we have the utmost confidence in their
capacity to judge and in the entire honesty and dis
interestedness of their conclusions These have
been verified by our personal supervision, and we
submit them in confidence as a part of this our re-
port. THOMAS w. PEARsLL

PARTMENT-wHO THE VICTIMS ARE.
TRIBUNE reporter called upon County Auditor
Lynes this morning when the following converse
ton took place:
Reporter-Mr Lynes, will you furnish me with the
names of the attaches of your office who were dis
missed on Saturday.
Mr. Lynes-Ask Mr.. StOrrs about it, and il he says
that may give them to you will do so with pleas
ure.
The reporter asked Mr. Storrs for an order on the
Auditor for the names of the dismissed attaches.
Mr. Storrs said that he could not give such an
order without the consent of Deputy Con-
troller Green. After several attempts to see Mr..
Green, the reporter addressed a note to him,
which be received, asking for the names
Of the dsmissees. After waiting three-quarters of
an hour for an answer, and getting none, the re-
porter left. He afterward ascertained, independ-
eutly Of any one connected with the Controllers
office. that Mr.. Jarvis Mr. Grant, and Mr. Baker are
among the twelve who were dismissed on Saturday.
1t is rumored that large number of Market sin
ecurists will be cashered to-day. and that it is the
intention not to give to the public their names and
the salaries they received, for the reason that it
not deemed expedient to let the public know how
many useless persons have been employed in the
various departments
