being young West Indian muatto, named Dorant,
Q native OF Cuba, and young lady OF correspond
ing complexion, u native OF this federal Union. 1t
Is reported that the clergymen intend organic
ing strike against this municipal marriage
bureau. on the ground that IL Is doing the business
too cheaply and IL running che trade
The Assistant Aldermen tried to get up meet
ing yesterday, but inasmuch only three OF them
got together within five minutes of the announced
time, there was no meeting. Five minutes later
there were enough OF them around to make two
Quorums.

Dealing With Migrants.

THE Parisians understand far better
than we how to deal with street vagrants
and imposters. The system prevailing
there Is thus described: A small book,
called q livret, Is issued by the prefecture.
On the first page Is set forth the name,
age and birthplace Of the holder, with
minute personal description, the remain
ing pages to be filled up by the people In
whose employ he may be. Every servant
and every wOrkingman must be supplied
with one of these Ifa man or woman Is
found begging in the streets the first ques-
ton asked by policeman would be con-
cerning his livret. If he has one and can
show that he is honestly asking for means
of subsistence he is all right, and official
aid is furnished. If not he goes to prison.
1t Is penal offense punishable by fine
of 500 francs for the first and 100 francs
for the second offense, to engage any SER
want or employe Of any kind unprovided
with livret, and the master Is further
bound to fill up the blank forms In the
book, stating the day on which the man
or woman entered and left his service.
As the employer holds possession of the
livret until his employe is ready to de-
part, sudden flight with movable property
rarely occurs. The offender cannot get
along without his book. He would be
arrested and sent to prison.
Ifloss of the book is pleaded as an excuse
he Is required to furnish satisfactory evi-
dence Of his whereabouts for the two years
preceding, and failing In this he Is sent to
prison as an imposter, where he is do
tanned at hard labor for two months.

Disposed of.

The Boston folks have the most grace
full, though not exactly economical, style
of putting an obnoxious citizen out of the
way, of any people on earth. There was
Mr.. Washington. Donaldson. There was
nothing 80 very offensive about the man;
but he would insist upon shooting bim-
self up In the air with balloons, hanging
to slim stick, and performing blood
curdling feats on the trspeze as his span
giles flashed and glittered In the sunlight
thousand feet or two above the admiring
and awe-stricken populace beneath. Pret-
ty soon boys were breaking their arms
and legs, and sometimes their necks, In
preparation for like occupation. Bos-
ton had consultation. The cute alder
men hit upon plan Of doing away with
Washington Donaldson forever. He
offered to start across the Atlantic on the
4th of July if Boston would furnish the
money to pay for a first-class balloon.
He hardly made the offer before 1t was ac-
cepted, the Aldermen voting unanimously
to make the appropriation. Donaldson Is
therefore disposed of. There Is no prob
ability that he will succeed In crossing In
safety. and the neat way in which he Is to
be "worked OFF, In the interest of science,
and at the same time to the relief of Bos-
ton, fills us with admiration. Everything
considered the 5000 are well invested

A Model Jail.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Sun gives q graphic account Of the
Queens County Jail at Hempsted, N.
"" There are nineteen cells in the pris-
on, two for ladies, eleven for white gen.
tlemen, and six for .colored. The prison
occasionally accommodates as many as
forty-fve persons. There are no lights,
and with the going down of the sun the
prisoners are left to communion with their
own thoughts, to moralize on the beauties
of virtuous life, and the best means OF
escape. The cells are more like dog-ken-
nels than prisons, and the state of filth
and misery is described as awful. The
Jail Is keptby ene man, who has the sole
care of this interesting brood of birds.
Warden Stringer Is his name, and 1t de-
serves to be known, because he Is a man
of nerve and bravery, match for any
amount of ruffian cowardice. His wife Is
also man of nerve; and as there Is only
one rope attached to an alarm bell In the
second story, the neighbors never 90 to
bed without expecting to find the throats
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stringer and the young
Stringers cut from ear to ear. Stringer is
too good man to lose. He is a flower
who was not born to blush unseen, and
no prisen should be without him.

The Ghizeh Pyramid.

THE recently discovered cornerstone of
the great Ghizeh pyramid, the first and
largest Of the Egyptian pyramids, was
found by the disc0verer, an English cler-
gyman, to have the same remarkable re-
latiOns to geometry that had been ascer-
tanned, by the Astronomer Royal of Scot
land and other mathematicians, to exist In
the pyramid as whole and In various of
its parts. The corner stone, which had
escaped, by being covered, the general
stripping of the stone facing Of the
pyramid, was found in situ, to measure
multiples of the pyramidal cubit IA Iii tie
more than twenty-five inches) on all its
lines, and the angle of its outer slope to
express, with mathematical accuracy, the
ratio of the diameter to the perimeter of a
circle. The pyramidal cubit Is exactly
0.0O0. .000,01 of the shortest radius of the
earth, and the height of the restored
pyramid, 222 cubits, the Q. ZOO, 900 ,0O0,l of
the distance Of the sun from the earth,
according to the lately corrected value
of this distance. Similarly the so-called
sarcophagus inside the pyramid has been
found to be an accurate measure of con-
tents, based on the pyramidal cubit. A
relation to the mean density of the earth
Is also found to exist, and it Is q curious
fact that the unit of measure adopted by
the pyramid, supposed to be at least 5000
years old and to have been erected by q
race anterior to the historical Egyptians,
possesses a geometrical accuracy which
does not exist In the French one, which,
as is known, is not what Its designers in
tended it to be, in exact decimal relation
with the meridian, owing to errors In the
arc. Whoever the builders Of the Ghizeh
pyramid, astronomy must have been far
advanced among them to enable them to
calculate the distance of the sun at the
amended figure to which it has been re-
duced only within the last three or four
years.-Erchange.

Mesmeric Sleep.

Is there, we may ask, any such special
form or mode of sleep as that denoted
under this name-produced by certain
subtle influence, emanating from one per-
son, and affecting, even without actual
contact, the body of another? We may
say at once that neither in the sleep so
produced, nor in the collateral effects as
signed to it, do we find anything that has
no kindred with the natural phenomena
of sleep and dreams, and which Is not
explicable by the anomalous forms these
SO often assume without any external in
fuences. AS regards the simple effect In
question, we believe we might as well
speak of sermon sleep, of rOcking-cradle
sleep, of the sleep Of an armchair, or of
dull book, as of q mesmeric sleep. The
experiments of Mr.. Braid, embodied un-
der the name of Hypnotism, show the ef-
fects even of posture or fixed direction of
vision in bringing on this state. So null
tiplied and various, indeed, are the cOndi-
tions, bodily and mental, tending toi that
the marvel of being awake Is almost as
great as that of sleep produced by the
manipulations and other appliances which
the mesmerizer brings to his aid. Among
these appliances we must especially reckon
the age, sex and personal temperament
Of those who are usually the subjects of
these exhibitions. Any one who cares to
examine the records of them will see how
important is the part these conditions
play in the drama Of mesmerism. Grant
ed that the facts are strange and difficult
of explanation. But so, and from the
same causes, are all the ordinary phe-
nomena of sleep and dreams. Their IA
miliarity disguises what is equally won
derful in them. 1t is well worthy of note
in this, as in many other questions of
this kind, how much subordinate objects
usurp the place of those of higher inn
port. In the so-called mesmeric phenOm-
ena, as proffered to our belief, the mesme-
rizer plays q far more important part
than the person acted upon. The facts
presented pass into utter insignificance,
unless it can be shown that they depend
upon some direct emanati0n Of power
from the former. Prove that such in
huence actually issues from one living be-
ing, thus changing the condition of anoth-
er In its proximity, and we have new
and wonderful element, material or spirit
ual, brought at once into the arena of
life. 1t is admitted, indeed, that this mys-
terious power is possessed by few indi-
viduals only-a limitation, if the facts be
real, almost as strange as the power
itself. But we may at once state
aur belief that no such power ex.
kts. The operator himself cannot furnish
evidence of it. The effects he produces
by his manipulations and other devices
are closely analogous, often Identical,
with those to which individuals of GER
tain nervous temperament are liable from
other and very different causes. This,
then, we apprehend to be the crucial ques-
sleep, under its various aspects. The SIM
pie fact of sleep thus produced was known
long ago; bat It was reserved for our time
to erect it into a mysterious principle, al
tering, were it real, all our views Of men,
