Clearing HOuSR RaOnrf
AristOcratic Poverty in P.ris.

Paris letter.
English and American students. ON
coming to Paris, find themselves sub
jected to much severe criticism than
they experienced at home. They also
find that they must work harder than
they before had any idea of, if they
would excel in art. In fact, they learn
that nothing butunremitting drudgery
will enable them TO take even respect
able rank in their profession, no mat
ter how much raw talent or genius
they may have.
The average costOf living in Paris,
among the American students, is $3.50
a year. Some have to- get along on
$500, and others swell out on an allow
ance of $500 or more. The general
custom is to hire a lodging-room aud
take ones meals at a restaurant. The
evening is usually spent in a cafe.
where, at a trihing expense, we can
have all needed comforts, a talk over
the works Of the day, and compare
notes on art or otherwise enjoy our
selves. The poor students do not feel
their poverty in Paris as they do at
home, because things are peculiarly
adapted here TO give comfort to poor
people who are intelligent and re-
fined, without in any wise trenching
on their self-respect. There are so
many persons Of learning and distinc-
ton in Paris who are poor, that
there is what might be called an aris-
tocracy of poverty here, and every
thing seems to be adapted to minister
TO the comfort. A man a spend an
afternoon or evening in a cafe at very
little expense, where he has access to
all the papers and periodicals, and is
surrounded by high-bred gentlemen.
Here he will see distiuguished-look-
ing personages, with heads like the
antique busts in the Louvre, and
the manners of polished courtiers.
many of them decorated with the
ribbon of the legion of honor,
slipping their six cents worth
Of wine and reading the papers with
an air Of profound satisfaction. One
elegant old gentleman, whom | have
often met, whose apparent poverty is
radiated by his exquisitely genial ur-
banity, and who / am told is a mem
berof the Frenchsenate, always drinks
three sous worth of hot milk, and yet
he is treated with as much courtesy
and Difference as though he spent
Napoleons, instead of sous. The
social atmosphere which is exhaled
from such a'state of things is soothing
to the feelings and exhilarating to the
spirit of poor students, who have to
count their pennies on all occasions,
and renders life in Paris exceedingly
attractive to them,

The political friends Of Sheriff Z.
l.. MCGOWAN and Chief of Police P.
r. Athy have had their heads to-
gether for a week or two past, to clear
the field of one or the other, both
being candidates for the office of
sheriff, and both being deemed strong
before the people. A commission of
something over a dozen persons was
agreed to, and they yesterday decided
that it swould be best for Captain
Athy to withdraw. and he has wisely
done it. 1t is pleasant to announce
this fact, and Chief Athy is to be
commended for an act that will be to
his advantage in the future. As Mr..
MCGOWAN has made one of the best
sheriffs Shelby county ever had, and
is anxious to serve another term while
he has a very strong hold upon the
affections Of the citizens of the
county, it is to be hoped that the
democracy and the people will at once
put him forth and re-elect him.

Raising His Fines.


A fine Of twenty-five dollars was set
down against Brother Barrett, of the
street car service, by acting Recorder
Oyerton this morning, for cruelty to
animals, the judge remarking when
deciding the case "This thing must
be stopped" There were two charges
against Mr.. Barrett, and the fine was
imposed on the first one tried. A few
moments Of silence ensued after the
judgment was rendered, after which
Secretary Lane, Of the s. G. p. A.,
arose and said the society he repre-
scented had no desire to be viewed in
the light Of trying to prosecute Mr..
Barrett, and he would therefore with
draw from the court room and not
prosecute the second case. The court
inquired whether Mr.. Barrett should
be discharged from the further prose-
c%ution, when Mr.. Lane remarked,
Yes, sir, anything to be humane to
him." The first time Mr.. Barrett ap-
peared before Mr.. Oyerton he was
fined 81 the next time it was adj
vanced, and the next it went up still
higher. This days burden was the
heaviest Of the lot. The public and

Nationals at Their Wits End.
The nationals were in council at
Mennerchor hall this forenoon, but
what they did and how they managed
is known only to those within their
confidence. The general opinion is
that they would break up in turmoil
and accomplish nothing. During the
day they endangered to get various
persons to run on their ticket for
place, and to sign pledges
that they {the candidates. would
work earnestly for the interests
Of their party, and would if elected
choose their aids and assistants ex-
clusively from the ranks of the ma
tionals. Thisi is another evidence, if
evidence were needed, that the ma
tionals have an eye to the main object,
place, and that place is par
amount to principle, or any
thing else, as to that. The
parties most desired as candidates for
the county ~trusteeship, etc, emphatic
ally declined to give any promises
whatever, except hat if chosen, good
and competent assistants would be
chosen. Col. Harry NJ. and Samuel
7. appear to have dropped into disfa-
vor with the nationals. Mr.. Taylor
has withdrawn his candidacy, and Mr..
John j. Duffy was nominated in his
place at noon to-day. Mr.. Fleece
was also in nomination for the place.

curiously, and asked i'll could call on

Receiving an affirmative reply, he de-

l did not find him at the Sherman

either him or his principal, nor could
we find their names in the Milwaukee
directory. It was decidedly curious
affair, and Will puzzled over it inns

another letter to Josie Mason asking
for an explanation but none came.
A month laterI went to Iowa .on a

so we did not grudge the labor. The
