Among the minor industries of great
cities, that of picking up things in the
streets is not the least lucrative. Be-
sides the rubbish, stumps of cigars, for
instance, which arc turned TO account,
articles of real value are dropped daily
by their owners. In Paris, the total
number of articles found on the public
highway and deposited by the finders at
the prefecture of police during the year
1877 amounted to about 16, 900, of which
1850 were purses, bracelets, watches,
jewelry, and gold and silver objects of
various descriptions. The actual cash
contained in the purses found amounted
to .Sl4,7l5, to say nothing of the money
value of trinkets, watches, and other
articles. a very small proportion of
the property is ever returned to its
owners. The police do their best by
advertisement in the newspapers to
publish the discovery of the lost articles,
but with little effect, and, after GER
tain time, most of them are handed over
to the finders.

AMY STONE.-This popular artistic ap-
pcarcd at Music Hall last evening be-
fore one of the finest audiences of the
season. The play was the Pearl of
Savoy, and so Interested were the au-
dience in the varying fortunes of Marie,
that il would have been difficult to dis
criminatc between those whom the
play was new and those whose interest
sprang from old associations. The sup
porting company was well chosen, and
one Of the best that has visited us. The
excellent orchestra that travels with the
company furnished fine music, adding
greatly to the attractiveness of the en-
tcrtainment.-[New Haven Union.
Our heartfelt thanks are due to p.
Lorillard & Co., who have mailed to us

could be hired for any moderate sum TO
chew or smoke that tobacco, or any
other brand, but parties learned in to-
bacco to whom VIC have submitted the
plug think it will bear heavy endorse
ment, and we have been exceedingly
gratilied at the disinterestcd Kindness
with which each and all of them have
offered to take it off our hands. But
we retain it to offer as premium for
