Pari,ian Beggars, RnIes.

The slang of "betandier" as a
name for a beggar (mendiant)
seems to be purely arbitrary-as
entirely so as Che English "cheese {"
it" for "be silent" The betan-
dier" is beggar who follows the
business as his regular occupation.
There can be no question that
ninety-nino out Of every one hnn-
dred beggars in Paris are such be-
cause they find the business a profit
able one. A creature in that grade
Of blousard life where q choice of
occupation lies between such en-

Genius nnn Morally.



The man who believes in debt,
and cites plenty of men of genius
who run in debt, is either silly
enough to suppose himself genius
Or to mistake folly for genius. Men
who write wisely against running
in debt may also, like many other
preachers, fail utterly to practice
their own preaching. Thus, Lord
Bacon who wrote on the wisdom of
business, and ran desperately in
debt. Men of genius are not always
ninnies in their expenditures,
though we can recall thousands
who are, from Bacon to Webster.
Men of genius may also be able,
like Pitt and Webster, to have the
most correct idea Of public finances,
and yet fail utterly in managing
their own affairs. Pitt received
never less than equal to $50, 900 a
year, sometimes equal to $4,000,
and died equal to 100000 in debt.
Sheridan was another spendthrift,
and spent all of his first wife's
fortune in six weeks, and the fortune
of his second wife in few months.
Fox was a great gamester, and at
one sitting Of twenty hours lost
eqdal to $4,000 1t is just this
kind of genius which should have
no imitators, and which has proved
the misery Of thousand of families
and the dishonor of all the men
who indulge in such personal ex-
travagance and plnnder Of other
peoples property.

Poi. MAJ Muller. in q recent

Prof. Max Muller, in recent
address written for the meeting of
a High School Company for girls,
asked; "What can be drier than
grammar, particularly as it is now
taught? How long does it take to
make boys understand the mean
ing Of such simple things as IA
nominatiye, an accusatiye, an abla-
tive? My own boy had been SO
elaborately taught what was the
meaning Of the nominative and the
accusative that of course he did not
know one from the other. So l
once gave him a box on the ear,
and asked him, Now tell me who
is the nominative p The nomina-
tive is papa he said. 'And who is
the accusative?' Tam the accursa-

sweeping, petty thieying and the
like, has no pride to govern his
course, and he turns to beggary as
a business quite as willingly as any
other, if he can see his way to sue
cess an it. There is a necessity of
talent involved in the occupation of
a beggar, however. A stupid per-
son setting up as beggar will not
be likely to earn enough to eat.
But, if one has some histrionic
ability, it can be turned to good
purpose in this business. A talent
for getting oneself up picturesquely
is Of immense value. Mental quail
titles of a high order bring their
own exceptional rewards in this
field as in others. An old beggar
whose post was, and for aught l
know still is, at the entrance Of the
Passage Vero-Dodat, was reputed
to be man of wealth. He was
certainly Il man of talent. In
moment of communicatiyeness this
old betandier gave his "code,p as
he called. it, which is worth print
ing. 1t is as follows:
Never ask aims from
l. A man who is coming from
dinner /; roast beef renders one
selfish.
2. A gentleman who is following
a lady.
8. Men who are TOO fat it an
noys them to stop.
4. A lady who is alone and I'M
observed.
5. Gentlemen who are putting
on their gloves.
But ask always from
l. A man who is going 10 dinner;
he sympathizes with the empty
stomach.
2, A lady who knows she is being
followed.
3. People who are walking two
by two; their amour propre makes
them give.
4. Officers in full dress uniform.
5. Of1ice-seekers going into cabi-
net ministers bureaus; they give,
in hope that it will bring them
luck.
A hideous looking beggar was
arrested recently in the Rue des
Boulets, sinister street in the
Faubourg st. Antoine, between
whom and the police commissioner
the following conversation ensued :
" Your name ?"
" Pontron Jacques-nicknamed
Eyes for Everything"
"Your prolession?"
Witness"
Witness? What do you mean
by witness?"
" As | have eyes for everything,
know everything that occurs in
the neighborhood, and am called
up every time there is a row OF
anything"
In answer to further questioning
the man stated that he belonged in
the. Quarter Ste. Marguerite, and
that by his profession he netted
about forty francs a month, his
pay being two francs a time. This
information, if accurate, would in
dicate with precision the number
of rows per month INDUCED in by
the scoundrels of the quarter. In
the intervals between rows, Pom
tron Jacques practiced on the sym
pathies of strangers as a beggar.
