SECRET TRADES IN PARIS.

The Paris correspondent Of the London Times
writes to that journal:
The list Of secret trades which swarm in
Paris Will never be exhausted. There are
spectators who have a regularly organized sys
tenn of beggars of both sexes. The boys are
swarthy dirty, ill-kept, barefooted, and after
carriages asking for sou to buy bread. In every
quarter there is an Inspector, who watches them,
stimulates them, and Furnishes or rewards them.
They come out now BY day, now by night, and take
their gains home to the SPECTATOR, who gets o
pretty large profit out Of them The girls-better
trained, better dressed-ofer matches or boquets
of violets for SALE according to the season. or any
other wares which may serve as pretext to speak
to the passengers, as Justification In the eyes Of
9 policeman.
Generally these little girls are told OF three to
one beat, which is. as rule, boulevard or long
street. They stand at csrtain distance from
each other and offer their wares or relate Ia
inevitable story, In which o sick mother, starving
children and pitilsss landlord play very active
part Being at Q distance from each other, they
are each others sentinels, for II policeman turns
up at one end signal warns the other two, who
have thus time 70 make 81 yesterday deter;
make on . hne spring afternoon, when people are
returning from the races. For my lnssstigatlon I
orally worked BY three Of these girls, and After
taking my precautions In order not 10 alarm them,
inquired Of all the passengers who gave aims to
the girls along the route how much they had
given. 49,.
found that between four and seven In the eve
ming, Of four hundred persons to whom abe had
applied, one hundred and thirty had given her
something, for she acoosted those who had been
undertaken by her partners. The total amount
received from these one hundred and thirty per-
sons was thirteen francs forty-nve centimes, and
when, my experiment being ended. I drew near
her heard her tell her story In the same fam
ished aud dismal tone. In these three hours she
had lost only ten minutes eating In . corner q
piece Of bread and sucking n taffy stick Soma
times 1t happens that passenger asks her for the
address OF the wretehed mother, the numerous
children, and the cruel landlord. That does not
perplex her; sho gives an address, where every.
thing Is found TO be she states, for the manager
OF the concern takes care to organize tne comedy
at home As well as the show In the street.

RENEFIr or LAUaRTER.

1t is said BY good medical authority that
there is not the remotest corner or inlet Of the
minute blood vessels Of the human body that
does not feel some wavelet from the conEul-
sion oceasioned BY good hearty laughter, and
also that the central man" of life principle d
shaken to It's inaermost depths, sending new
tides Of Ilfs and strength z the surfeee, and
thus materially lending to insure good health
to the person who INDUCES therein. Theblood
moves more rapidly probably caused BY some
chemical or electric modification occasioned BY
the convulsion-and conveys q different impress
sion 70 all organs Of the bUdy as Il visits them
on that particular mystic Journey, when the
man ID laughing, from what 10 does ct other
times. For this reason every good hearty laugh
10 which . person INDUCES tends to lsngthen
bis life, conveying, AZ It does, new and distinct
stimulus to the vital forces. We doubt, not
that the time will come when physicians-con-
eeding more importance than they now do to
the influence ofthe mind upon the vital forces
OF the body-will prescribe TO the torpid and
melancholy patient certain number Of hearty
peals Of laughter, TO be undergone at stated
periods, and believe that they WI, In 50 doing,
ind the best and most effective method Of pro-
ducing the required effect upon the patient.
Our advice to all Is, Indulge In good, hearty,

from, charge us with uttering false principles OF

Magnificent and large as are some OF our
modern steam vessels, they are Inferior, II we
may Judge from description, both in size aud
splendor, to the vessels constructed by the
kings Of Egypt and Syracuse, on 3 scale of
grandeur corresponding to the immense pro-
portions of their sculpture and architecture.
Ptolemeus Philopater, King of Egypt, built q
vessel 40 feet long, SO feet broad, 70 feet high
from the keel to the top of the prov, but 50
feet to the top of the poop. She had four helms
of 60 feet; her largest oars were So feet
long, with leaden handles, so as to work more
easily by the rowers; she had two prows, two
sterns, seven rostra or beaks, successfully ms
ing and swelling out one over the other, the
topmost one most prominent and stately on
the poop and Prov she had figures Of animals,
not less than IS feet high; al the interiorofth
vessel was beautiHed with delicate sort Of
painting Of waxen- COLOR She had 1000
rovers, 400 cabin boys or servants; marine to
do duty on the decks, 3, $40; with an immense
store Of arms and provisions. The Same prince
built another ship, called the Thalamegus, or
bedehanber ship, WHICH was only used a
pleasure yacht for sailing up md down me-
Nile. She was not 80 long or large as the pre-
ceding, but more splendid In the chambers and
their furnishings. Hero, king of Syracuse,

AMERICAN LOVE OF TITLES.

Some American families who have been
thrown upon the shores Of plenty by petro-
liam wave, or reached sfiuepee through sue
cessful venture in Wall street, on coming to
Paris endeavor to establish q social status a.
expeditiousiy as they attained to fortune. Il
is hardly necessary to say that such an effort is
not attended with success. They seem to
abandon their home guides in making friends.
They do not ask II the people they gather
around them are honest and worthy Of their
confidence. Have they title7 q the question
which assumes the importance Of Shakspeare's
s'To be or not to be-" They do not know, and
apparently will never learn, that title 10
France signifies absolutely nothing unless
there is something behind ft-wealth, chsr-
aeter, or talent. This Is especially tho case
with the feminine portion Of the family, aud
such is their daily influence on the head Of the
group, that In the end he Is apt to fall into
their views. To have IN their drawing-room .
count is delight; q marquis, q JOY forever.
As there are number OF these who are sadly
OF for the comforts of life, they are 10 be had
on easy Of the lazy kind who
live from hand to mouth, and who are ready
on all occasions to eat good dinner without
possessing the necessary funds 70 pay for H..
There is also the prospect Of Q rich marriage
with one Of the young republican women who
are infatuated with titles. These are sufficient
inducements 10 the mobiles who exist ay four q
jour, and they become assiduous eonviDes at the
American board, and ardent gallants Of the
daughters Of the Household. Their treatment
OF Frenchmen brings smile to the lips Of the
man of the world. Count de Higsnd, whose
operations on this globe are restricted to those
OF consumer, Is surrounded with attention, aud
plain NJ. Lefort, q worker and consequently
useful member Of society, Is neglected; which
IL the reverse Of what takes place In the French
house, or indeed any other In which the in
mates have not lost their Judgment.
Il Is worthy OF remark that Of all the foreign
women who come TO the French capital, mono
are so fond of titles a the American women.
