WORK OF THE PARIS POLICE.
The Late rrefect TelisSfow Every Glass of
society is watched.

'Ari.le hy NJ. Andrieux
The secret agents of police in Paris are
provided with cards. which, in cases of
danger, will insure them the protection of
the regular police. They frequent clubs
and other ucciir IS, the wine shops Of the
exterior bouic ards, and houses aud streets
Of ill fame, and also attend at the
senate and chamber of deputies
during the parliamentary session.
In the morning they prepare their
reports, generally speating ut the pre-
lecture, in the archives of which
is TO be found detailed accounts
Of the career aud character Of hundreds
and thousands of individuals iii
France. These records torm colossal
pyramids in the lumler rooms, and are
alphabetically arranged according 10 the
names OF the persons whose histories they
chronicle, so that when any one comes
suddenly to the front or is Compounded
in any criminal affair the Librarians can
have no di.uculty in laying their hands on
the official summary of his or her antece
dents. 30 complete is the collection that
the name of the most obscure rag-picker
in Paris has its chronicle as wei as the
president of the republic.
In regard to these secret agents of The

plicit as he is indiscreet. "A man coach

house. porters are actually compelled un.
der pain of forfeiture of their licenses and
positions, to act us the spies Of the pre-
lecture. Several journalists, who are the
btterest political opponents in opposition
newspapers of the powers that be, and not
n few frantic orators who do the stump
at Socialistic gatherings and dcnouncc the
criminality of capital amid the cheers of

I am going to Helena for the

business and hunting up
wife. I think I have arrived at the
proper age, 35, when it is safe for a
man to na1ry, especially when I have
worked hard all my life to accumulate
a sufficient competency to keep the
wolf from my door. I am assessed in
money, stock and reality, III the neigh
borhood Of $4,000, besides this ma
terial wealth, / have also wealth OF
love to hestow on some good woman,
who, like myself, is looking for a
mate.
Now, my friend, you know [ am
rather bashful in affairs of this kind,
and as you q know you Of old are
we'll posted in matters Of the heart, |
want your assistance You must cer-
tainIy know some eligible party
maiden, spinster or widow-of that
age who is ripe in wisdom and wo-
manhood, who aftei, a personal inter
view and interchange of ideas, might
be induced to change her name and
residence for one which she shall
plan herself. I am tired Of this lone
some bachelor life, and IL [ leave Hell
ena unmarried it will not be my fault,
You can use this letter in my behalf
to show that [ am in earnest, but I
must ask you as friend to withhold
1ay name.
