PARIS BEGGARS.
One of Them Who Was the Owner Of g.
Large Fortune.


The professional beggars in Paris,
who stand at church doors, on the
bridges, Or other good corners OF the
French capital, are very often richer
than most Of those of whom they in
plore charity. 1t is no uncommon thing
to hear Of Important SUMS Of money be-
ing found at the lodgings OF deceased
mendicauts. Till their death they gen.
orally try to keep Their secret, but a.
beggar who was for many years known
as Pere Antoine, and who used to stand
on the steps Of the church Of St. Sui.
pjce, seemed to like to boast of his
wealth. Not long ago he, 10 . moment
Of temporary insanity brought on by
illness, threw himself out o. window
and was killed ON the spot. A man
named Guillezzsiu. to whom he had
promised to leave his fortune in consid-
Grafton of being provided for IN his old
age, at once appropriated the money,
amounting to about ninety-six thousand
francs Ca,lring. Pere Antoine had,
however, made a will leaving all his
worldly goods to his nephew and cousin.
Guille1uin restored seveuty-six thou
sand francs, but has been conder4ned to
two years imprisonment because he
kept the remaining twenty th ousand.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
No Longer the Courageous Creature That
She Was.


The American girl of q decade ago
has effaced herself, says Charles Dudley
Warner in Harper's Magazine. She is
no longer the daring, courageous
creature. In England, in France, in
Germany, in Italy, she takes, as one
may say, the color of the land. The
satirist will find no more abroad the
American girl of the type whom he
continues to describe. The knowing
and fascinating creature has changed
her tactics altogether, and the change
has reacted on American society, The
mother has come once more to the
front, and even if she is obliged to own
to forty-fve years to the census taker,
she has again the position and the priv
ilege of the blooming woman of thirty.
Her daughters walk meekly and with
downcast (if still expectanD eyes and
wait for sign. y = X It is enough now
to notice that change is going on, due
to the effect of foreign society upon
American women, and to express the
patriotic belief that whatever forms OF
etiquette she may bow to the American
girl will still be on earth the last an5
best gift of God to man.

an outer covering which covered tbs
original relic. In order to set all such
stolies at rest, the bishop ordered an
examination made, and the examiners
testified to the authenticity Of the ra!ic,
though the, innumerable miracles that
have been wrought through its instru-

its genuineness. In appearance this

People who strive to elevate certain
classes in the social fabric, often find,
to their surprise, that these very per-
sons iealously guard the barriers OF
class distinctions. The following illus
tration of that fact is given by the
author of ssFour Years in Rebel Cap
itals."
A Richmond lady had maid who
devoted and constant to her mistress
still burned with curiosity for sight Of
everything pertaining to ''Mars' Lin
kum's men, and especially for ode
skule.'' For swift indeed had new
corners been to preach the gospel OF
Alphabet, and negro schools seemed to
have been brought in by every army
ambulance, so numerous did they spring
up in the captured capital. So, early
one day, Clarissa Sophia donned her
very best, and with shining face, HE'D
her, like anything but a snail, to school.
Very brief was her absence, her re-
turn reticent, but pouting and with I'M

begun by impressing the children with
the fact that all present were born
free and equal and that each Of them
was quite as good as she was.

DANGEROUS FREIGHT.
A Cargo That Steamship Men DO Not
fr

A Cargo That Steamship Men DO Not
Like to Carry.
The recent discussion as to whether
ocean liners should carry cotton as we'll
as passengers, and at the same time
has brought out another fact. 1t is,
says the New York Recorder, that they
carry other kinds of freight that makes
the danger Of fire just as great as from
cotton. A person who knows some
thing of such matters states that Just at
present there are being made large i'm"
portations of French silk that are es-
pecially dangerous as freight.
''At present importers here, the gen"
tleman said, care receiving large con-
signments of a heavy-dyed silk known
as French twist. The French manufac-
turers do not spare the dye Of these
goods, for it adds to their weight. III
this dye chemicals of a peculiar kind
are used, and it is this fact that makes
this silk dangerous freight.
''There is always fear Of spontaneous
combustion unless the greatest care is
taken in packing the goods. These
come in bales Of various sizes, but gen
orally averaging ABOUT hvB hundred
pounds. They are wrapped in cotton
bagging with underlying layers Of
straw and brown paper, and are made
compact by hydraulic pressure. There
is constant danger of fire originating
from them, and they must be watched
with care while in transit. There have
been cases where bales have been de-
stroyed from the causes mentioned, and
not many years ago a serious fire WAS
caused on French steamer by these
same goods"
Steamship men generally say that
they are aware of the danger of carry
ing these silks, and that the greatest
care is taken whenever they are car
ried as freight. One or two lines, i'll
deed, discriminate against this freight
and will not carry it.

Made Himself at Home.

Among the visitors at the white house
lately were an old farmer and his two
daughters from the west. They were
shown through the private parlors by
one of the ushers, and then went into
the cool and pleasant east room. Soon
after the chief doorheeper had occa-
sion to go into the east room and he
was greatly surprised to see the old
farmer stretched out at full length
on one of the large sofas, while his
daughters sat near by and fanned.him to
keep the flies away. The old man was

rather dazed, and remarked that the
sofas looked so good he thought they
were to rest upon.

Students in Paris.

From inquiries which have been
made at Paris, it appears that last year
there were 1,071 foreign students there,
and this is represented as fair average.
The Germans amounted to only nine
teen, while the Austrians numbered
one less. There were 1874 British stu
dents and 296 Russians and Poles. The
Balkan peninsula sent the large con-
tingent of 3157-Greeks, Turks, Rou-
manians, Servians and Bulgarians be-
ing included in this category. Tho
schools of medicine and law appro.
priated by far the greater number, for
while 100 attended the former, 1872 at
tended at the latter. The faculty Of
theology only had one foreign student.
