A Prince of Thieves.

The thieves of Paris, like the Partisan
police, have long been supposed to be
preternaturally acute. A thief of Bois-
Colombes has lately proved how much
he could excel either. M. Bourdais owns
piece of property i'll the place indi-
Gated, which two years ago he rented to
an eligible tenant. NJ. Bourdais dwelt
in another place, and for year and n
half his rent was sent to him with the
most perfect regularity. No landlord
could ask for better tenant. At the
end of eighteen months Nj. Bourdais II
coived no remittance, and wrote many
times to see what was the trouble. He
received no answer. Finally, after some
months of delay, he determined to go to
Bois-C -Colombes, and upon arriving there
what was his surprise to find that moth.
ing OF his "place" remained but the
ground itself. He sought diligently for
his house, but alas he hal no house;
it had been dismantled demolished and
removed. In rage he laid his griev-
ance before the police, who are probably
now searching for the dwelling with the
best quality Of micro scopes. The police
are, however, doing better work on a
more crying evil than the theft of houses,
and are at present diligently seeking to
close some of the gaming houses of the
clpital, and thereby advertising some of
them which have hitherto not been gen.
orally known to the public.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1877-04-05
Light Wines.

1t is common fallacy among us to
suppose that cure for intemperance
would be the general introduction of the
light wines, which form the almost uni
yersnl and, as it is averred, non-intoxi-
eating drinks of European nations. The
following from an italian newspaper,
La Iedetta, published at Florence, tells
different story.
Theresa S., young Milanese teacher
of embroidery, passed her birthday
gayly with her relations, solemnizing the
occasion with frugal dinner, at which
there was not wanting generous pro-
vision Of various kinds of wines. Theresa
who in time gone by, had abandoned
herself to melancholy, and also to GER
tain kind of suicidal monomania, seemed
now on the contrary to show an extraordi-.
nary flow of good spirits.
The glasses, the bottles and TASKS
were passed round in the most rapid and
boisterous manner, and the embroideress
took an active part in this scufie, till at
the termination of the dinner, she
ly into her breast, sending forth pierc-
ing cries. The abuse of the spirituous
drinks had brought back the fatal mania
uit ulluuppuI lueIe WIS nO Telnely Dc-
cause the blow was given with unusual
force.
This is merely one clipping from a
daily paper in a country where the
lightest of light wines are raised, and
where it is supp1sed that they cannot
intoxicate; a; perhaps if those who 50 ar
IDENTIFY advocate their general introduc-
ton here, were to read more of the
italian papers, they might see cause to
modify their opinion.
To say that there is no intoxication in
lands VIII; re brawls and murders are
common, would be to assert that fruit is
borne without it's tree and while stupid
drunkenness is certainly not so often
exhibited in public in Italy and France,
a i'll more northern climes, we think il
is fair to presume that the exceeding
volatilit, Of the one, and the irritability
OF the other nation, is due to the state OF
constant nervous excitement produced
by the universal use of light wines.
That this excitability faile to reach
the stages of heavy stupidity and fierce
insanity which incompetence is wont to
exhibit to us, is perhaps owing to the
lassitude produced by the climate ant
the underfed condition of the people
re ther of which would apply ON thi'
side OF the water.
