The Cafes, and Some of the _ People Who Frequent Them, Their Virtues and Vices—Bachelor Joys and Domestic Sorrows Con- nected with Them. A Plea for the Dohemian’s Drawing-Room and Stody--Where the Foreign Correspond- ence Is Done. . Special Correspondence of The Tribune, Parts, Sept. 22.—If you compare 3 Conti- yental city, town, or village with auv on the British Isics, or in the older settlements of New England, you wili not fail to be struck by the wonderful difference worked by that de- lightful and invaluable institution, the Conti- nentul cafe. I will not attempt to deny that jt has its feults and vices. - What human insti- tutionhas not? The best of things may be abused as well asused. That ladies are justly eptitled to look unfavorably upon that pe- culiarly masculine luxury, 1 will readily admit, —though 1 hope ladies will acknowledze that, even from their point of view, 2 l:\[c is preferable to a club. Certainly, however, it is a great stumbling-block in the way of match- making mothers and marriageable dauglite: Few men who let the casy habits of eafe-life ‘once zrow upon them have the will or courage 10 renounce them for the steadicr joys of home and dotnesticity, till they begin to tcel xhcl:n- selves going down the hill and gettiog decrepit. There are old stagers who bave nhaunted the same seat in the same cafe for A QUARTER OR HALF A'CENTURY, drinking the same mild drinks, reading the same_ill-printed papers, and playing the same everlasting game at dominoes, without a trace of weariness, or the faintest Wwish to exchange these bachelor comforts for otherss A Paris cafeisan cpitome of Paris society. If 1 exeept the aristocratic Parisienve. from the noble Faubourg or the iwealths Faubourg (St. Germain and St. Honore), every type of char- acter, from the lowest totbe bighest, may be studied within its briaht mirrored walls, in tle light of its brilliant gas-lamps. French girls— respectable girls, 1 mean—are not allowed to cross the threshhold of the cafe without their mother, nor does their knowledge of it extend much beyond what they mav have learnt during s visit on Sunday afternoon to the Grand Cafe or the Cafe de la° Paix. . There are not many at which it would be thought admissible for a mo- ‘ment 10 take them, even for the mild dissia- tion of sipping a strawberry-ice; but the twvo establishments I have mentioned are strictly “correct,"—always_provided Mademoiselle, as 1 said, is chaperoned by her motber. WITH FRENCH BOYS the case is different. As svon s they are in their quatrieme at college, they begin to give themselves the airs of men about town. When they get into the rhetorique (the highest cl but one) they are quite old hands at the bil liard-cae, and toss their absiuthe off (if they are flush of money) as easily as a young Captain of Hussars, or, for that matter, a Colouel of Ar- tillery. The heroes of the highest or philosophic class arc, many of them, accom- plished rakes, lady-killers, and card-players at 13. And a more disaerecable, sickly. vicious, and intolerable young cubthan a “fast” French collezian it would be iard to discover. As these Bopeful sprigs are usually ot guided iu their chuice of a cafe by the most virtuons considera- tions, of course that institutiou is in a meas- ure taxable with giving tnem the opportuoity of completing. the corraption of their alrcady shaky morals. A rood many Freuch pateriamil- 1ases, 100, bave a nasty way of leaving Madame and the children to take carc of themselves, while they extract the Jast scandal from the Figaroon the, Evenement, and dally with their mazegian and a weed at some neizhbormg estamnet. All very wrong and objectionable, especially to ladies. But O, Madame, before you conaemn the cafe, think for a moment . _ IWUAT WOULD BE THE FATE of the Bohemian, the bachelor blizhied fn love, the writer, the idle map, and the stranzer with- outit? Whers can they turn for innocent and inexpensive pleasure, where tind balm to soothe the sadness of their loncly and unbeupecked ‘way, if not at this luxurious, cushioned. iug, poblic crawiog-room, readins-room, writing-room, relrechment and conversation roowm combined: where you can purchase suste- nance for the inner man, intellectual food for the mental mau, comfort. for the outer man; and study buman nature, its weakuesses and virtues, follivs and fantasies, by the hour to- gether, for the insignificant outlay of a few cenis. I might argue, too, that the cafe should be rezarded gs a positively moralizing agent., How many misguided creatures would be spending their time. in far more disrep- utable places had they not been attracted by the clicking of the coffee-cups and the whiteness of the cool marble tables?! A virtuous mau is in 10 dsnger of being made vicious by the cafe, while the vicious will never, most_assuredly, become virtuous by Keeping out of it. In so writing, I am pleading, 1 acknowledgze, “TOR MY OWXN HOME.” For years I, and Heaven only knows how many erratic men hike me. hsve almost lived in cafes. 1 have breakfasted in them; dived in them; Worked, thought, studied, dréampt, taken my ease in them. Shall I have no_kindly word to offer in their defense? If you did but know the cconomy of cafes to a Bohemian! While ke is at the warble table, no charge Jor light, mo Dbills Jfor firing, no need 0 spend money on literary pabulum, no outlay tor pens, ink, and paper.” You may drop into he Voltare or Veron’s carly in the morning, read all the papers, write your letters, and drink your mazagra, 1or balf a frane, as undisturbed and independent of the worldas if you were the possessor of broad lands and_ stately man- slone, with a rent-roll to mateh. No one (if you are a habitue, at least) will venture to hint thai. you linger long over your fruzal re- past, or insibuate that yom have kept that Figaro more than - a fnir time. Stationery is supplied (in pearly all places) with a liberality bordering on lavishness, and without extra charge. ‘ MOST JOURNALISTS IN PARIS— foreign_correspondents ulmost_all—do_their ‘work with the sound of rolling billiard-balls and rattling dominoes sounding in their care; aud s0 true is it that habit is éccond nature that, after a few months’ apprenticesbip, they not only et accustomed to writing in the midst of the noise, but actually come to miss and feel the want of it. A shght, dull undercurrent of confused sound is a pesitive source of inspira- tion to some writers. . Slost ¥rench literary men are and have been, frequenters of eafes. At myown favorite haunt, 1he Voltaire, in the Place de POdcon, L meet M. Laboulaye, the distinwuished writer, speaker, and Senator, daily. When AL Littre was a year . or two younger, he also, they say, was a regular customer of the some cafe; and it is always well supplied with zray-headed Profeseors, whio meet each day to wranirle amicably over their old im- possible theories and crotehets for the education and rezeneration of socicty in general and Paris- jan society in particular. Nobody is unaware that Gambetta was formerly a - frequentcr of the Cafe Procope. The fact has been flung into his face often enoush since then. though eversbody of political aud social 2minence TAS DONE AS MCCIH, and generally, indeed, nas avoided anything as respectaole and tame as the Procope,—thie old- .est, and, I may say, on the whole, the dullest cafe in the town for many years past. It must have been very different last century, when the Ancienoe Comedie fourished in front of its very doors, and all the wit and beauty of Paris flocked to it for zossip and refreslunent between the aets. Why, too, should Gambettabe taunted with visiting a place tbat Voltaire patronized? Horwever, even 1f the Procope were as riotonsas it is insipidly quiet, it would be all the same. Paul de Cassagmac, the swagzering Bonapartist Dbully, is more dainty. e aflects the Cafe dela Paix, in the Piace de POpera; and yet 1 don’t think the respectability of bis surroundings sticks to him for long. But I forzet. 1am g of sume months apo. He has married since then, and may have given up adding bout altogethier.

THE CORRESPONDENTS. Mr. Crawford, of the Jaily Neus, and Mrs. C., also of the Jaily News, may be seen any evening i the week, between 7 and 9, at Veron's, a lis- tie way down the Boulevard, preparing matter dorthe electation of the Londun public. Mr. barles Rysn, of the Herald, is steadier, and ‘does most of his work at_the office in the A enue de I'Opera. But MM. Opoert de Blowitz, Bowes, Bower, of the Enslish press, and nearly every member of the French press, may be run against st all hours in the cafes between the Madeleine and the Porte St. Martin, collecting their ideas, writing out rough mnotes, and putting them into shape for their ungrateful readers of the next morning. So I fecl that even you, upright matrons, jmmaculate mothers and wives, fathers of fam- lies, will not refuse to believe that there may beagood, a use, and an_innocent delight in cafes, Without them, no scandalous tit-Dbits from Lutetia; no pleasant_gossio_about Mme. de A. who ran away with M. de B., or of the Giamouds presented to Mlle.

The idlers at the ferry-dock yesterday were considerably agitated by a little incident in which a * William ™ and his girl were the main actors. The pair were excursionists, and the oirt had got her * dander " up about some- thing- «] don’t know what ails her,” exclaimed William to a policeman as the girl sat on a salt- barrel and munched an apple in a hard-hearted sort of way. “Ihad mv arm around her all this horning, and we've walked all over town with clasped hauds, but all ot a sudden she flew from the track, and has had her nose up ever since.” “ Are vou eneaged™ asked the officer: * Well, I kinder infer that we are, or was afore she got this mad fit.” ¢ And what wiil you do?” «f dunnos 1 was thinking 8 spell ago that T might draw out her feeliugs, if ste has auy, by jumpin’ into the river, though I kiuder hate to ‘et up this Sunday suit.” The policeman held 3 whispered-consultation with William, and the result was that the young man went back to tae girl and said: ““Emily, 1 think you have given e the cold shake. Heaven knows Ilove you,aud I cao’t stand this no longer! Emily, take my ring aud pocket-book, for I am going to jump into the cruel river!” “Tlumph!? replied Emily, as she reccived his wealth aud bit juto the solid side of hier apple. “Good-by, false onc—don’t look for any Dody ! ™ exciaimed William as he leaped down into the harbor-master’s boat out of sight. +Man overboard—save him—where's the life- preserver?” shouted 3 man with a voice like a thander-storm. ‘Fhere was shouting and runnisg to and iro, but Emily never even_looked around.

From the Iteno (Net.) Gosette. A bothered-looking citizen, came into the Guazette office yesterday afternoon and respect- fuily asked to be let look at the dictionary. e sat down and rather anviously thumbed Web- ster awhile. “What word are you looking for?” asked a reporter, secing that the strunger had failed to strike the trail. “ Well,” said the man in a burst of confidence, “yousee I'veonly been married a short time, aud my wife's zone up to Truckee on avisit, and she’s Written 1o me to look in the_ bottom of her trunk for 8 lot of ‘tucking’ aud send it to her. Now, what [ want to kmow_is whatin blazes is *tucking’? It aint in the dictionary.” “Tucking?” said the reporter briskly, * iy, tucking is the stuff that pirls make by poking a sortof short-turned tish-hook througha hole and catching the thread and drawing it back again.” Tuen the editor spoke up contemptuously, and said that & man who wasso iznorznt as that ought tohold his tongue. What the reporier bad described was ecrocheting. Everybody ought to know what tucking was. The ladics in making it used a little contrivance shaped like_a musscl, with -tbread wound up inside of it. Tucking could be purchased, he believed, for 10 or15 cents a vard, and why intellizent eirls should waste a whole day in making what they couid et for a ghort bit was more tha In . answer to a qu he could understand. ion fromthe admiringreporter,the cditor said he had beeu told that tucking was used in trimming the undergarments of the fair sex, but wuy things shouid Le ornamented which a fellow would et licked for trring to look at—or per- Laps shot—ias behond bis comprehension. The married stravger said the editor was mis- taken: that the article he mentioned was not ng—it was taiting. This be koew fora fact. The cditor observed that wher a man came to the Gaztle oflice for injormation, the editor, “when he zeve it, didu’t liike to be- told he licd: If the stranzer wanted 10 avoid trouble he had better zet out and go to the devil. As the editor biad grown red in the face and his eyes were blazing the married stranger coughed seebly and stunk down stairs. 1b the meantime, what is tucking " A KNIGOT OF THE GARTER. Calcutia Engtisnman. 1 nave heard of a rathier ludicrous incident which happened at a Jawn tennis party within a radius of ten miles from the Government House. Qae of the gentlemen'of the party was a young maa rather proud of his legs, and the better to call attention thereto be had Iately invested in a brillisnt pair of searlet silk garters, which were ostentatiously displayed at the bottom of his knickerbockers. During a game he fancicd that one of his cherished ornaments had¢come ofl. as he saw a somewbat similar article of ap- parel on the ground close to him, so he picked it up and pus it into his pocket, ot noticing an auery look on the face of his lady partuer, who happened to be a married lady. Vervshortly after, before the gome was finished, tiie lady refused to play any more, and walked off iuto the house, the young zentleman retiring 1o the refreshment tent.. Arrived there, and as usnal iooking down at bis iegs, he discovered both his own_brizht oraameats in therr proper plact, and began to wonder where the other one could have come from. Nothing further would probably have happened had not the young'man, with the vauity of youth, a few days afterward boasted to some of bis iriends of his bonues fortunes, at the same time disolay- ing his treasure, and hinting rather too plainly the name of the lady to ‘whom it belonged. Nothing remaius 2 sceret long in India, especial- 1y if there is a spice of scandal attached to it, and consequently the report about his wife reached the husband’s ears. Arming himself with a liorsewbip the husband waited upon the youns man, who thougnt that discretion was the better by of vnlur.hslnmmcre;l ont his ex- planation, and wrote a bumble apolog, ¢ Jady as dietated. polaRy 10 g A FRIENDLY FATIER. ‘The stern parent, so much dreaded by young and spoony sercnaders, is not always sucha ferocious monster as he is wenerally represented.

The Rise in Gold and in the New York Money Market. R Chicago Lending Money to New York --- The Stock Marlket. The Produce Markets Tame — Hogs Firmer, but Provisions Weak. Wheat Depressed by Forcign Xews--Other Grain Easier---Movement of Product for the Week. FINANCIAL. The farther rise of gold to 1013, the stringency in the New York money market, and the weakness of stocks, were the financial cvents. A rumor was current that Sccretary Sherman, for some unex- plained reuson, had withdrawn zoid from the banks that were national depositories, and had concentrated {t fn the Sub-Trensury. Thisis a step he las been advised for eome time to take ns a wmouns of reducing the gold and, §f he has done It with premium, the prescnt result, we have onotuer instance of the variance between facts and theories. The Syndicate are known to be settlinz with the Gov- ernment by the payment of several millions of 201d, and this s probably & suflicient explavation of the rise in the premium, if there is added to it a little manipulation by stock-jobbers. The unusual epectacle was afforded in the Chica- go money market of loans to New York. The current of capital has always sct the other way, but the etringency of the —money market in New York, as shown by the sharp rise in the rates of interest for gold and car- reney loans, and the impossibllity in the present condition of foreign finances of obtaining capital from England, has sent New York to Chicago, and probably toother points, as a borrower. The loans obtained 1 Chicago on Saturday were made ou the security of Government bonds deposited in New York, and the rate naid was 5 per cent less than the New York rate. Another sign of the move- ment of capital to New York was large purchuges of exchange by parties who are usuully sellers, for remittance to New York. The foreien exchange market Is very weak. The rate for sight sterling is nominally 481, but sales are made below that point, and gold has been ordered from the other side. The offerings of ex- change are larger than the demand, as the balance of trade is heavily inonr favor. There are several circamstances likely to aflcct our commund of European rold this fall. The cotton export must be unfavorably affected by the depressed state of ~the * En- clish cotron manufacturers, and by the neglect, in consequence of the yellow fever, to market the full crup. The lnaucial dificalties that are zather- ingintoa storm m England will likewise reduce 1o come extent the British demund for our brezd- stuffs, Gram and mea: they must heve, but if ne- cesaity compels tue population of the Dritish Isles can economize to a degree UBKNOWD in this conn- try. If there arc bank and commercial failures in London, as expected, there will be a good many reclamations on Chicago sisty-day billsof exchange, and this is now oeing taken into the calculations of Chicago drawers. Government bonds were wear. The Chicaro banks lorned money to New Tork 10 relieve the stringency there, and transferred New York balances to the New York borrowers on the sccurity of Government bonds. Otherwise there were no new developments. Rates of dis- count were G@10 per cent, with special rates in specinl. cascs. The supply of paper was only moderate. New York exchange was firm, and, mnder pur- chases for remittance to New Yoris, advaaced to %3¢ per $1,000 premium between banks. Tae orders for currency were light.

ITIBI046345 2,620,510 The stock market was very unfavorably aflected by a variety of canses. There is certainly a raid in progress on the active speculative stocks, and this is assisted by the comolicated situation of af- fairs. The financial disturbances in Great Dritain, likely to lead to free sales of American stocks bheld there, the decreased earn- ings of many of the ratlroads, the stringency of the money market, the rise in gold, aund an assumed apprehension about the resumption of specie pay- menta, are all used to depress stocks. At the same time, dispatches received here yesterday asserted that. while Gould was seiling stocks, Keene was buying, and that the two are partners in the deal, Railrond bouds shared, to some extent, the weakness of the restof the market, Northwests were 1024; St. Pauls, 943, and Durlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, 69, Sales were made at these prices.

The leading produce markets were rather weak Saturday, especially wheat, being depressed by discouraging advices from the Old World, which in- cluded the news of more mercantile failures in Great Britain. Ts caused widespread fears of another panic in Engzland, which would unfayora- bly affect our comuercial relations with the Old World, making it necessary to accept still lower prices for our surplus produce.
