MISCELLANEOUS MATTEEs

The President rencws his recommendations
in favor of the passage Of general bankrupt
law and of extending to the Indian the pro-
lection Of the law, allotin% land in severalty
and providing for the industrial as well as in
telectuai training Of youth. He also suggests
that it is a grave question whether Congress
should not extend immediate and substantial
aid in the work of education TO States and
Territories where the census returns show that
illitcracy is alarmingly prevalent. The attca-
ton of Congress is further directed to the i'm
portance of regulating Interstate commerce
by appropriate legislation, but the President
seems 10 think that no further action touching
the suppression of poIygamy will be necessary
for the present. The President a'ludes briefly
to the advisablity Of providing form OF civil
government for Alaska and logislatjng for the
protection and cultivation Of forests and then
goes on to speak at length Of the necessity Of
reform in the civil service. Under this head
he says:

HOW FRENCH DETECTIVES WORK.

some nVe or SIX years ago, being or
a visit TO Paris. | went to see a friend
French gentleman | had known fol-
many years, who, with his wife and only
daughter, lived du second in a small
house in the Fauborg st. German. ]
found the family one and all in the
greatest possible excitement. During
the night their domicile had been broken
into. and property TO the value of about
thirty thousand francs. consisting OF
plate, jewels, money and bonds had
been stolen. My friend was by no
means rich man, and the loss was to
him very serious one. The strange
part OF the affair was that no one seemed
TO have the slightest idea by whom, or
how. the lost things had been taken
They were kept in a large iron-clamped
chest, which WAS never moved out of
the sale manqer, and which was
found in its usual place next morning.
but with the lock forced open. The
servants of the family were only two in
number. and consisted of an elderly
man and his wife, who had been in the
same service for more than ten wears.
They did not sleep on the same floor as
eh'h anu lDisNitSs. Dut, IL -
usual in Paris. occupied n room some
stories higher in the mansarde or attic.
Tney had key by which to let them
selves in from the back stairs to the
kitchen in the morning; but at the time
of the robbery neither one nor the other
had been in the dining-room where the
chest was kept, until after my friends
daughter had found out what had
happened. The lady of the family
had locked the chest-it was her usual
habit-before she had retired to rest
the previous night. The key was
found hanging on nail at the head of
her bed. its usual place. The theft must
have been committed between eleven
p. m, when the chest was locked. and
eight a. H., when her daughter discov-
cred the loss. The concierge declared
that no one save those who lived in the
house had passed his lodge during those
hours. The door of the apartment OPEN
ing on the main staircase was found
locked, and the key on the inside. AL
together it was a most mysterious bust
ness of which no one could make any,
thing save that the property had van
ished, therefore it must have been taken
by some one.
My friend resolved to go at once to
the Rue de Jerusalem-the Scotland
Yard of Paris-and ask the authorities
to inquire into the matter. | suggested
an agent de police or policeman from
the nearest station might be called. but
was told that that was not the way that |
they did things in Paris. The police
men that keep order in the streets. and
those whose business it is to discover |
what has become of stolen property. are
two departments perfectly distinct from
each other. Being anxious to see how
our neighbors managed affairs of this
kind, and whether they were better up
to their work than our London de-
tectives. l accompanied my friend to the
Prefecture de Police. where he sent in
his card, and we were at once ushered
into the presence of quiet-looking
elderly gentleman. one of the sous-chef

The Secret of Genius.

"They talk" said Tom Marshall of Pennsylvania, the brilliant law yer and orator, "of my astonishing burst of eloquencc, and doubtless imagine it is my genius bubbling over. It is nothing of the sort. I'll tell you how I do it. 1 select a sub ject and study it from the ground up. When l master it fully l write a speech on it. Then l take a walk and come back and revise and cor rect. In a few days subject it to another pruning and then recopy 1t. Next l add the finishing touches, round it off with graceful periods and commit it to memory. Then l speak it in the field, on my fathers lawn, and before my mirror, until gesture and delivery are perfect. It some times takes me six weeks or two months to get up a speech. When l have one prepared l come to town, l generally select my own subject. speak my piece. It astonishes the people, as 1 intend it shall, and they go away marvelling at my power oi oratory. They call it genius, but il is the hardest kind of work. ."--St Louis Republican.
