DOES IT PAY TO BE SICK.--The Medical
and Surgical Reporter estimates the cost to
the people of the United States for medical
services at one hundred millions of dollars,
and adds twenty five millions of dollars for
the quack medicines swallowed. "Let the
people," it says, ''study these figures awhile,
and then reflect that probably one. halt, or
certainly . large fraction Ut this expense,
is incurred by deliberate infrac.ion Of the
laws of health; that. if they tippled less,
smoked less, overworked less. were less
FAST and less indulgent, they would save
some thirty or forty millions Of dollars =

Another Outbreak In Paris.


PARIS, March 23.-Last evening an outbreak
occurred in the Place Vendome. The insurgents
had been much irritated by the proclamation the
National Assembly had issued and determined to
resent it with violence. The temper of the
general public as they stood discussing the situa-
ton was sufficient to excite the anger of the
'Reds, for they were denounced on all hands
and their outrages spoken of in bitter terms.
One gentleman reproached the National Guard
for timidity and cowardice and apparent sympa-
thy with the insurgents.
The discussion grew heated and one of the
National Guards confronted this gentleman, the
end of which was a fight between the two, in
which the gentleman left the crowd somewhat
damaged in physical appearance. The groups
of people, evidently ripe for mischief, became
so alarming that an order was given the National
Guards to clear the Place Vendome. The people
refused to leave and
The Guard Fired,
killing five persons and wounding many others.
The firing was successful in clearing the Place
Yendome, and as many of the crowd were insur-
gents, with chassepots in their hands, their in
disposition TO return the fire was regarded as
very significant. Paris has, however, become
much calmer, and the

LONDON, March 23.-The National Guards on
Tuesday reinstated the Mayor OF the Sixth ar
rondissement, who had been expelled from
Office by the insurgents.
The insurgent Central Committee has de-
cided to disarm the Nationals of Quarter St.
Germain.
During the night the insurgent Nationals en-
deavored to surprise the 11th Battalion,
occupying the Place de la Bourse, but were un-
successful. Many battalons of the National
Guard are being armed for the pre-
servation of order. An unarmed
manifestation is advertised for Wednesday
afternoon. 1t is announced that the Nationals
of Lyons only await the arrival of delegation
from Poris to form d Central Committee on the
plan of that operating in Paris. Meno:.i Carl

PARIS, March 22-Evening.-This evening q
large number of returned prisoners reached the
Rue de la Paix entrance to the Place Yendome,
and appealed to the sentries to give way to
their passage into the districts occupied by the
insurgent National Guard.
The request was refused by the sentries, and
the demonstrators thereupon unfurled the color of
bearer, and the crowd at once commenced to re-
tire. Baron Nathan then seized flag and ex-
horted the crowd to advance against the illegal
force occupying the place. The order was
obeyed, when the Nationals occupying the place
beat their drums and fired in the air.
The crowd retreating TOO slowly three ranks
of the Nationals filed out from the main body
and fred. There was

for five minutes, and then the crowd broke into
a terror-stricken retreat. At least thirty per-
sons were killed and wounded by the fire of the
Guards.
Baron Nathan received two shots in the chest.
The Nationals in the Place Vendome have since
been reinforced and are orderly. The National
Guards generally have been cslled to arms, and
fighting is apprehended tonight. The affair
created great CONSERVATION among the people
of Paris.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The bill introduced
by Mr.. Pomeroy in the Senate to-day amends the
act of February 2S, 1795, and authorizes the
President at his discretion to declare martial
law In certain cases, and for other purposes. 1t
proposes to amend said acts by adding thereto
provision that whenever the President of the
United States shall have information from the
Governor of any State or Territory, or from any
judicial or other officer of the United States in
such state or Territory, that there are organized
bands of men existing therein for the purpose
of disturbing the peace and preventing
the execution of the laws, and thereby the laws
are not executed, or IT, In consequence of the
acts of any person, or persons banded to-
gether, life and property are endangered and
such demonstrations are made as compel officers
of the law to abandon and resign their offices,
and any such district thereby become abandoned
to lawlessness and crime, then, and in all such
cases, it shall be the duty of the President of
the United States and he is hereby authorz ed,
If convinced OF the facts as herein
set forth, at his discretion, to issue a
proclamation declaring martial law to
be in force in such a specified country or dis
trict of country, as is provided for in said act
of 1705. He is authorized to employ the army
and navy Of the United States to check resistance
to the laws of the United States and to bring to
trial any person charged with crimes against the
United States, or against any citizen thereof

BURGLARS ABOUT.

They Operate In Germantown-One of them
Captured
On Tuesday night and yesterday morning there
were seve,~t attempts to commit burglaries
throughout Ge, "aantown. Among other places
tried was that of ntr. Huber, on Main street.
near the Railroad. "he police had early ia
formation of the intended .~aid and were on the
lookout for the thieves The c. ,Ho:equence OF this
vigilance was that Officers HsNdsoerry ant
O'Farrell succeeded in capturing one OF gang
of burglars attempting to rob the residence of
Mr.. Reed on Clapier street, near Township line
and they had already effected an entrance and
stolen an umbrella when they were detected by
the police.
AN attempt was made to arrest then but the
burglars ran, when the policemen fired their re-
volvers at the fugitives. The burglars returned
the fire. but no one was injured. One man,
however, was captured and brought to the Hall,
where he was locked up until morning. He had
a hearing before Alderman Good yesterday
morning, when he gave the name of David Bird,
and said that he resided in Brooklyn, and had
never been in Philadelphia before. He was
committed for a fnrther hearing at the Central
Station yesterday afternoon.
Bird positively refused to give the names of
his comrades, or any clue whereby they might
with the track of the burglar who broke into
General Kilburne's residence on Pulaski avenue
last week.
This capture, in connection with the arrest of
two burglars last week. should have the effect of
ridding Germantown of many of the depredators
who have been prowling around that vicinity
for some time. Several attempts have been
made to rob Main street stores within the last
few weeks, and increased vigilance on the part
of both citizens and police should rid German
town entirely of burglars, nearly all of whom
appear to come from New York.

swINDLING MINsTREUs.

How Whey Came " over the Csermantowners.
few days ago we enlightened our readers
upon the misdoings of the Collins & Hulmes'
Minstrel Company in Germantown. We have
some further particulars of the swindle perpe-
trated upon the Mount Airy Library Assoca-
tion.-
In the first place, Collins denies having any
partnership in the concern, but states that he
was only hired member of the troupe. Hulmes'
real name is said to be Alfred III. Humphreys,
and his residence No. 20l7 Ritter street. IL
will be remembered that Hulmes or Humphreys
offered large photograph frame, valued at S25
to the society selling the largest number of
tickets for the entertainment. The Mt. Airy
Library Association sold 143 tickets and
was entitled to the frame. It now appears that
the frame purchased from the maker, who
was to be paid twenty dollars on the even
ing of the entertainment, or have it
returned to him. Being a prudent man. he
came TO Germantown 10 superintend the dspo-
sal of his property. Hulmes then told him that
be could not pay him twenty dollars, and
would therefore return the frame.
he swindle is made the more fragrant from
the fact that the Mount Airy Library had twice
hired the minstrels for entertainments and had
paid them literally for their services Members
OF this society were at Alderman Thomas on
tuesday evening to get advice about prosecut-
ing Humphreys for sWindlng, but no action will
be taken except to expose him whenever he at
tempts similar game.
When the disappearance of the fame was dis
covered, members of the library Immediately
went to the railroad depot and searched the 10
and IL o'clock trains, but failed to find anything
of Humphreys, who probably went to one of the
lower stations, as he and the frame maker were
seen passing Cheten avenue on their way
down the Main street. The members of the
troupe were loud in their deuunciations of Hum
phreys, who, according to their story, had failed
to pay them their salaries. Should he attempt
to visit Frankford, or any of the suburban vii
lagos, committee of the Mount Airy Library
will be on hand TO expose him.

FROM BALTIMORE.
a Heavy Successful Forgery.

BALTIMORE, March 23.-Yesterday afternoon
a man aged about rs, giving the name of John
B. Thompson, called at the Third National Bank
of this city, and presented letter of introduc-
ton purportipg to be from l.. B. Coltington
& Co., of New York. He stated in conversa-
ton with the cashier that he intended to enter
into business here, and desired to keep an
account with the Third National Bank,
and before leaving the bank deposited certi-
fed check in the name OF L. B. Coltington ~
Co. for $4,000. He returned soon afterwards
and saying he had immediate use FOR some
money, drew a check for $500, which was
cashed After he left the bank a second time a
telegram was sent to New York and reply
came that the letter and check were forgeries.
The affair was placed in the hands of detectives,
but Thompson has not yet been apprehended.
