& Lost Articles.

1t may be very difficult to form any
idea OF the number and value of the
articles lost daily in any large city, but
III Parls, at least, it is easy to know
what has been found by honest folk.
Ihere are numerous offices IN every
quarter OF the town where anything
found should be deposited. From
these places the articles left in cabs or
found III the streets are taken to
central warehouse at the Prefecture de
Police. According to the official sta
tistics it would appear that during the
year 1878 there were 1910 objects Of
the most Heterogeneous description de-
posted at the central warehouse. The
central warehouse consists of two i'm
mense halls furnished with shelves like
a paWnbroker's shop. on which the arti-
Giles are arranged after being carefully
catalogued. AS may be imagined, the
number of small objects is large, but
what speaks most in favor of the hon
esty OF the Parisians is the strong
room of this establishment, in which
the articles of intrinsic value are stored.
1t contains numbers of watches. GOLD
and silver chains, bracelets, locEets,
and money in gold, silver and notes.
IT after the expiration OF a year the
proprietor Of an article deposited in
this warehouse has not reclaimed his
property. 1t is returned to the finder.
From one cause or another very large
percentage is not reclaimed, and many
valuable watches, bracelets set with
diamonds, and the like. after lying in
this warehouse for twelve months, then
become the legal property Of those who
have picked them up in the streets.

TIE UTE INVESTIGATION.
Resume of the Testimony Taken by the
House Committee on Indian Affairs.

The testimony of Lieut.. Cherry, who was
with Maj. Thornburgh's command in the Milk
creek fight. refuted most of the statements Of
the Ute savages respecting that affair. He
was. present at the conference between the
Major and Jack, and says that the former made
it very clear that the troops would
halt some distance from the agency,
and not 90 nearer unless called on by
Meeker The first shot was fired by the Indi-
ans, and was aimed at Cherry, but it missed
him and killed soldier who stood beside him.
The Lieutenant declared that Thornburgh was
confident from the first that the Utes meant to
attack him, and was tempted at one time to
hold several of them then in his camp as host
ages, but was afraid to assume the RESPONSE
bllity of such action.

WASHINGTON, March l9-Puck is respon-
sible for very amusing scene in the Senate
The leading cartoon in this week Is issue of
Paot represents the crazy game of fifteen, with
each block showing the head Of Presidential
candidate. There are heads of Thurman and
David Davis, Tilden, Hancock and Hendricks,
Grant, Blaine and Sherman, aud enough more
to make out the set Grant is numbered 10,
and has got as far as the IL hole, but Blaine,
who Is numbered Is, is in the Is hole. All
the others appear in order, and the csrtoun
represents Conkling sitting over the puzzle,
with dishevelod locks anu distracted look,
and his finger on Jim Blaine, while he is evil
dently trying to solve the lr;ze puzzle and
get Blaine out OF Grants way.
During the morning hour yesterday Senator
Hereford brought in copy of this cartoon and
handed it 10 Thurman. The bluff Senator
from Ohio took it, looked, laughed, evidently
approaching the jlke, aud speedily became tie
ceutre of group of Democratic Senators, who
all evidently took in the situation. After
Thurman and the Democrats were done with

Senator studied it for some time, lie mean
while becoming tie center Of a group of R,-
publican Senators. He seemed to be studying
the places of all the candidates AMI their rela-
ton to each other Finally he threw back
his head with satisfied chuckle and passed
the paper on. Then Hereford took the car
toon 10 David Davis, who sits across the aisle
from Conkling.
While all this bad been going on CJnkling
had been out of the chamber, but he came in
while Davis was puzzling over it in his pom
