MATRIMONIAL AGENT. French Institution That Brought Trouble and DiscOntent.

lParis Correspondence Of the London Telegraph. A matrimonial agent at Levallois-Perret, 8 suburb of Paris, who had 0 special line of business, has just decamped with the money of numerous victims. He had as his clients none but plain or ugly damsels with dow- ries, who found difficulty in "getting of" by reason of their lack of personal attrac- tions, for although the great bulk of Gauls have strong partiality for dots, they do not care to be tied for life to lady who has nothing to recommend her but her lucre. The absconding undertaken Of weddings had neat way of his own of reoonciling intend- ing bridegrooms to the prospect of double blessedness with danes whose features were the reverse of fair, at the same time that he enabled his lady-clients to change their names and to find apparently eligible part ners. He simply had a select stock of pri- vate friends, or rather confederates, who took over the ladies and large Jumps of their dowries, and then after e few weeks or months decamped most ignominiously from the spouses whom they had promised to love and cherish. The agent, of course, received large commissions from the ladies and, more over, obtained sums of money from the fu- gitive husbands. The system worked beau- tifully for time-so far q the agent and his confederates were concerned. Money rolled into his office, until one day lately he ! we3 suddenly confronted by some of his out ragged clients, who, after sad experience, had seen through his "little game" These ladies told their stories, complained that bad char-
 acters had been foisted upon them as hus- bands, and threatened to take proceedings against their victimizer. The agent replied l in his blandest manner that he could not guarantee exemplary husbands whose con- | duct would be su ch. as to keep ths course of | married life for ever smooth and pleasant When his clients, however, went away the matrimonial operator, remembering the
 threats about legal proceedings, fgurstively | speaking, hauled down his colors, or rather | his sign board and brass plate, shut up his shop and disappeared, most probably to for ! ei0n marta

A Higher Opening is Followed by a Steady Decline and the Market Closes Dull and Weak as About she Lowest Prices of tho Bay.


 At the Stock Exchange to-day the opening was made at advances extending to # per cent in the general list and per cent in Northern Pacific pre- ferred. This was for the most part due to heavy buyin foreign account at the start, and except the rise of per cent in Tennessee Coal, the fur ther advances were confined to fractional ameunts. even in Northern Pacific preferred The last named stock soon reacted and before noon the rest of tho list followed, reaizations being invited by the high prices of the forenoon, and the hardening rates for money induced further bear attacks. When well into the afternoon the downward move ment became more pronounced and more anima- tfon was shown in the weak stocks, Northern Pa' cifc preferred, St. Paul and Cotton oil leading the decline.
 The market again dropped into intense dullness and finally closed dull and weak at about the low est prices of the day.
 Railroad boncs were dull, and while rather firm in the forenoon, became weak with the share list later in the day, and most of the important final changes are in the direction of lower prices.

Court Notes.

The case against Josephine Callahan, wife of Andrew J. Callahan, came to an end yes- terday as far as the City court is concerned. There were three charges against her of theft of orders from the town agents office, when John J. Clerkin was clerk there, for people who were either dead or not town benefcia- ries, and that she presented these orders and appropriated the money she received to her. self. City Attorney Daley nolled two of the cases. On the other charge, which was more in detail set forth, she was fined $20 and $11 costs and sentenced to thirty days in jail. Attorney Penny, counsel for Mrs. Callahan, filed demurrer, stating that the allegations contained in the complaint were insufficient in law. The intention of the defence was to avoid trial in the lower court and take the case immediately to the higher court. Attor- ney Penny appealed the case to the October term of the Superior court under a bond of $150, which will be furnished to-day by Captain William Davis, Mrs. Callahan's step father.
 Case Against Palmer.
 The case against Charles w. Palmer, ,charg- ed with defraudlng the Merchants' bank, will come up before Commissioner Wright on September 2s, the counsel on both sides hay ing agreed on the date.

tions the settlers in New England are
said to have passed when they land.

the earth to the saints. Resolved,
secondly, that we are the saints;"
and they kicked out the Indians.

Some Things the Next Census Will
Disclose.

The Bankers Magazine has the fol-
lowing interesting statistics of the
wonderful changes which will be re-
vealed by the census of 1890:
The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes. The central line
of population will be much nearer
the Mississippi river than it was ter
years ago. Over 100000 acres of
land were sold ia the last fiscal year
under the operation of the Home
stead and Timber Culture law. More
than 124 ,000,000 acres have been set
tied in the last eight years, repre-
senting larger arena than the states
of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michi-
gan. The greatest changes have been
made in the Northwestern group of
States and Territories, comprising
Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wy
ominga and Montana, where &C, 900, 900
of acres have been settled in the last
eight years. In the Southwestern
group comprising Kansas, Colorado.
Missouri and New Mexico. nearly
30,00O,000 of acres of land have been
occupied. On the Pacific Coast 49,.
600, 900 of acres more have been set
tied, and 13.000.0O of acres must be
added for the Southern States on
both sides of the Mississippi. Along
the Pacific roads 100000 of acres
have been opened since the last GEN.
sus. In other words. the Govern
ment and Pacific Railroad have
opened for settlement in the last eight
years a territory larger than the
New England, Middle States end
South Carolina combined larger
than Germany or France and about
twice as large as Great Britain and
Ireland.
The age of steel remarking on this
subject, SAYS:
Take for instance, the record of
Dakota's industrial progress, and we
doubt 1 the world can afford paral-
lei to it. Here is territory which,
in 1860. had population of 5000 and
of but little more than $4,000 ten
years later ; but in 1880 its popula-
ton had increased to over 1876, 900, or
$50 per cent in 1887 to about 49,
900 !; and now it contains Gal 900 peo-
pie, exclusive of the Indians occupy.
ing One-fifth of the entire territory.
Its agriculture has risen correspond.
ingly. the crop of 1000 bushels oil
wheat in 1860 having increased to
2,S30,00 bushels in 1880, and to over
5000. 900 bushels at present. The pro-
duction of corn in Dakota has also
advanced greatly, having more than
trebled in the last three years.
