A Very Much Overrated Institution—Its Peeuliar Organization. From the Pall Mall Gazette. ‘An exaggerated idea exists as to the wonder- ful capabilities and marvelous achievements of the Paris police force. Considered from the point of view of numbers and of the amount of money it swallows up in one year, it cortalnly looks @ powerful organization. But on the authority of its chiefs, or rather ex-chiels, It is nothing but a huge unworkabie machine, sur- rounded by vexatious restrictions and admin- istrative formalities and anomalies ‘The Parispolice suffers more from attacks, perhaps, than any other institution in France. Owi: to the tact that namerous murders commit! recently have not been sifted by the police, that body ts just now suffering from a cru- sade by the Paris press, The detective depart- ment receives ios: of the blame, but the whole system is attacked. M. Henri Rochefort de- clares that during the last four years so many murderers have been “missed” that if they were to meet together to discuss the position of their profession and to ‘@ resolution in favor of the present Paris detective system, the Cirque d’Hiver would not bold them. The de- tectives, says the same journalist, search assid— uously for the legs, arms, head ‘and different parts _— victim, but never follow up the assassin, ‘The police of Paris numbers about, 10,000 men, without counting the secret police, the gendarmerie or the Republican Guard, and the annual budget of the prefecture is more than £1,000,000, The gendarmerie belongs to the minister of tbe interior, and the Guard to the town council, The divisions into which this force is| divided are numerous and complicated. There are brigades for clubs and gambling houses. for the thea for balls, for the press, for the markets, tor the cab- men'at the cab depots and on the streets, tor hotels and lodging-houses, for the atom a oe ‘mé ,” and various other bi — vd the corps who quard the palace ot res! dent down to the brigade who look after the nurses. The prefecture of police is divided into four great departments—police administrative, police purely munierpal, police political and police judiciary. The former is employed with the deliverance of passports, /ivrets, permissions to hunt, and other matters indoors. The next service, the municipal police, contains 7,756 ‘men, aud 18 under the direction of the ebief, M. Caubet, and not the prefect. They are subdivided into the gar diens de la (our ordinary policemen), a cen- tral brigade, the detectiva department, the rigades of “recherches,” the hotel’ and todging-house service, which in turn are cut up into more sections. About 6,800 men serve on the streets, They are well paid and are on duty only eight hours aday. In order to make them discharge this duty faithfully they have tosign u regisier at different points in thelr beats at fixed hours. One branch of the “brigades de recherches” iscecupied in watching street policemen, re- porting irregularities, bad conduct and in mak- ing inquiry concerning applicants for admis sion into the force. nother brigade acts as Teporters to the prefectuse. They attend all sort of political meetings and, demoustrations and take stenographiec notes of the speeches, ‘They wateh the creation of political cliques from their cradle, and are said to. know more about the Ins and outs of journal- fsm and the position of parties than any ove else, If such a bri le existed in Lon- don the police would not have to go to the newspaper reporters for evidence ding ‘Trafalgar Square gatherings, but would have their own official reporters present.

Though police- inen are supplied wiih a scbre and revolver, the detectives have to provide their own weapons | of defense.

The Indians used to own all the land in common, They didn’t sow much and they didn’t reap much. They lived on game, fish and clams, but there wasn't enough togo round, and then one said tothe Others [have as good @ right as you to what there 1s, and he tried to grab it. The other Indians kilied Lim. Tuat is the way we ail be oe The white men, who were our grand- fathers, lived in the same = ia Earope, but that way didn't work well, and the white men gave it up betore the Indians, who haven't given tupyet. What did they do next? They saw tbat all their food came out of the land,and that if they did uot fence in the land somewhere and piant it there wouid not be enough tood togo round. Game was getting scarce. A tribe or « family teuced in « picce and said to tue rest “This is ours.” Nobody objected just then, because there more land than folks, After the tribe had taken the land a part of thein pianted it, and the rest Kept up the fences, tbat is to say, they stayed round the outside and kept the tramps oil. Next year the tribe toat had fenced in or set apart some of the land had plenty of food, and then they had a Jot of time to spare, so they went to work making betier clothes and building better houses, the next year they were a great deal stronger, because they had been better clothed aud better housed. The more they fenced in and used the land the more food there was for themselves and for others. ‘Tue tramps outside had a great deal more Jand, they also bad ail the game there was and ail the thine there was, but they sald. these fel- ws inside the fence have taken our laud, but, as we have worked just as hard outside as they ave, they ought toshare even; we have just as much rigul to some of their crops, and if they won't give thei tous let's go and take thein—Jel’s ali share even, That Is Just what the tramps say now; but they don’t xet It, be- cause the men Inside the tence have the most seuse and the must muscle, the best tools and the best guns, and they krow how to use them. ‘The tramps were licked, and then they began. to grumble, as tuey do now. They said to the men inside the fence: “You have no right to that land, we want some of it.” The men in- side said: “There is land enough outside, why don’t you fence in some out there?” The tramps suid: “We want to stay here.” Then, said the men inside the fen “stay, if you want to, and swap with us—there will be €rough for ail or us if we swap. We will work the land, which is good fur notning uniess it is worked, but we cau’t ail work on this land; lev’s swap work on land for some "other kind of work.” “But where shall { stay?” said the tramp. “We can't ail live in the woods.” “No,” suid the man inside the fence, “we have ihore food than we can eat, more Umber than we ean Use, more iron than we want; you can come in and work up these things, aud we will Jet you have & part; we will swap grain and meut and timber and iron,whieh we have saved from our own work and cannot use oursclyes, for your work.” ‘Toe tramps agreed. Where was the thiet?” Both bad more than they bad before. Whicn one gained the mosi? ree Nine Points of the Law. From the Hartford Times, It is generally understood that if a person Vacates @ seat fora few moments and leaves some article in it, this will secure it till his re- turn. In more than one instance we have seen ‘an overcoat or satchel removed from a seat thus Teserved and placed elsewhere by a newcomer. An amusing case of the kind recently occurred. on @ road uot far from Hartford. A geptieman hud occasion to leave his seat fora few mo- ments at astation, and on returning found his overcoat and satchel removed and his scat taken, possession of by a young man and “his best girl.” The gentieman said tothe young man, “I think Iam eutitied to this seat, asi leftarticles in it while I stepped to the pla Said the young man, “Pouses- sion is nine points of the law, and I'think we will keep the seat.” “Then,” said the gentle man, “will you picase rise that Imay get my umbrella?” The young man could not refuse this reasonable request, and as he rose irom the seat the gentieman slipped into it, much to the amusement of the other pussengers.

Alas, some apostles of civilization in the form of ecman bagmen have latterly taught the Bui- arian women that they can mix a little cotton With their wool, and use cheaper material for their dyes. 20 Hamlet, the Crazy Dog. ‘York Sun.

The Largest Cansen, From the London Dally News, ‘A Krapp cannon weighing 121 tons wasem- barked a few days ago at Antwerp for Spezzia, mau then requested “bis best girl” to go with him to another seat.

Only a tew weeks ago @ train from Marseilles, France, running at full speed, was overwhelmed by an ava. lanche of rock and init fet Sait ah eine tne Americaus Speak the Beat English. From the Pall Mali Ganette, We laugh at the “I guess” of the Yankee, and seem tolook upon it as apbase of his own in- vention—forgetful or unawareot the fact that early in the seventeenth century it was in com- mon use, as, indeed, it had been as carly as the fourteenth. Is it not employed as the Americans employ it in Chaucer's line?— “Of twenty year of age he was, I geese. and in Shakespense’s = - far, I guess, ‘That we do makes our entrancnssternl wast, T'Henry VI, ik, £” Vhen our cousins us by 5} of the jail” instead of tum,” they aro again using good seventeenth centnry English. Dry- m has “What crowds of pationts the town doctor kills, ‘Or how last fall he raised the weekly bills.” The word “sick,” which the Americans use where most of W% use the word “ill,” had the meanfng they assign to it in the days of Chaucer, of Shakespeare, and of Pope. Where we speak of a persou belng plain, the Americans would describe him a8 homely--once more re- taining a perfectly classical usage, In Milton's “Comus’ "we have “It is for homely features to keep home, ‘They nad thelr name thence.” ‘The verb “to whittle” most people, probably, would pronounce tobe a newly coined, worst but It is not so. Johnson gives an example of its use from “Hakewith on Providence,” 9 book which was published in 1627. Itts a good word, having no equivalent in the language, and those who nave preserved it have done wisely. The substantive “whittle,” signifying aknile, is found in Shakespeare (“Timon of Athens” y., 2), but seems to have died out not 2) Iongjatter, “Sitch” again, weshould at fet sient imagine to be undoubtedly of Yankee manu- facture, but we should be quite wrong. Chap- 1an (103) deseribes the god Apolo as “both. slicke and daintie,” and later on in the century we find the word used by Sir Thomas Browne and Faller. The former speaks ot slick stones, 4 ¢., smooth stones, A familiar form of suluta- tion which one hears sometimes 1n the states, “How d'ye,” is not of native growth, but has the sanction of no lessa writer than Pope. “Years make men more talkative,” he says, “out less writative; sothat I now write noletters but of plain bt or plain how d’ye's, to those tew Lam to correspond with.” In the case of ” we have in one and jtance of the legitimate Preservation of bygone usage and the unwar- Fantable introduction of novelty. When Amer- icans use it in the sense of “clever,” cabarp,” they can show that it was so employed in the Past; but when in the sense of “pretty,” they can do nosueh thing. | Many of the fair sex uso the word with ite latter meaning to an exas perating extent. “Ain’t he cute?” you will hear ‘8 whole chorus exclaim as they gaze in rap- tures on seme baby; of, again, “What cute little dresses.” Other examples ofoid words that Mould have died out and been lost to the lan- guage had they not nm well cared for in their new transatiantic Might easily be cited. “Proshot,” truly desorbed by Archbisho ‘Trench a% an exquisite word, is one of is used by Milton: “All fish from sea or shore, or purling brook.” Another is “bluff”, formerly, however, used ag an adjective (e.g. “a bluff peninsular promi- nenee),” whereas the Americans—followed by our own Tennyson,.“round the hills irom bluit to bluff’ —employ it as a substantative; others are “snag,” @ word which we meet with in Spenser and in Dryden; “rile,” the same as roil, an old verb signifying ‘to disturb, to vex, and found in Chaucer. ‘The use of the formal “sir” when addressing ® strangor or person with whom one has only & slight acquaintance is another instance of the retention by the American of past modes of speech. Good illustrations of this particulur cus- tom, as it existed at the time that the new world Was being colonized, are found in the “Compleat: Angler,” whose author died in the year in which " Philadelphia was founded by Penn. Such sentences as the following are constantly occuring: “Sir, 1 shall by your favor bear you company as iar as Theovald’ “sir, my for- tune has answered my desires;” “I am, sir, a brother of the angle,” and so on. It is evident, then, that many so-called Amer- icanisms, so far from being arbitrary novelties, have the clearest right to be regarded as “Eng- lish undefiled.” Political Instrnetion in the Schools. ‘From the Chicago News To every one who gives the subject the atten- tion its direct bearing upon the stability of the republic deserves, the absence of anything like instruction in such public virtues as patriotisma. and political morality in our public schools must give occasion to grave misgivings. In the reading and literature of the pubiie schools there isan abundance of opportunity for the American child to become familiar with the Urring epoch of his country’s history. He learns ¢nough of the stories of the revolution | d the rebellion—of the patriotism which founded the republie ia 1746 and that_ pre. served the nation in 1864.

It has long been evident to observers ot pub- lic atfaire that the graduates of our American free schools take less active and effective inter- estin their conduct than the halfeducated or wholly ignorant forelguers who bring to this country Live passions und prejudices burn under Ube class systems ol the Old World, Thenative American child’s mind fs tarned away irom Ihe stady of those things that would make him agood citizen first, w the acquirement of the knowledge necessary to make him a suecesstul business man. He is taught business from the soundation up, and therefore it is small wonder that in his maturity he fs indifferent to his duties as acttizen. it is the result of his early training that has given such force to the dox, “The best citizens are often the worst citi- zens.” All the evil influences in society are Active and enthustastic in their relations to polities, The educated, the best-equipped vot- €rs are too often and too universally indifterent to their high responsibility. When some great emergency arises they arouse themselves to their duties as leaders of public opinion, only to return to thelr private business when the crisis is paxt, leaving the conduct ot affairs to demagogues who pander to ignorance or the activity of un-Americanized voters, ‘The remeay tor this condition ot affatrs rests with the pavile schools. In these boys and giris should early be taught the relatious of the in- dividual American to his government, ‘They should be taugut to take an interest in all ques- tions affecting the dutics of citizenship, the methods of levying and collecting and spending the revenues, ederal, state and tunicipal.

The Fateful Thirteen. A FEW OF THE INCIDENTS THAT UELP TO WREATHE IT WITH MYSTERY, From the Chicago Times. Curious people will be interested in the follow- ing strange coincidences in the life of Richard Wagner, in which the number 13 figures ex- tensively enough to satisty the most superstl. tious Scotchman of them all. Wagner was bora in 1818 and died on the 13th of the month; there are 13 Ictters in his name, and the sum Of the figures iu 1813 equals 13, The full date of his death was the 13th day of the second month in '83; it makes 13 twice—viz: first 13, and again 2x8x3—13. He composed just 13 works. His first and determining impression in favor ofadramatic career was formed on the13th of the month. He was influenced In his choice emphatically by hearing Weber's “relschutz,* and by Wilhelmine Schroeder Devrient. ‘The latter went upon the stage on the 13th of Octo- ber, 1819, and the “Frelschutz” was completed on May 13, 1820, and at first. performed in Dresden, Wagner's home, 1822 (1x8x2x2—13). ‘Weber died in Wagner's 13th year. Wagner's first public appearance asa musical personage dutes from the year he entered the Leipsie uni pe tudent of music—1813 (1x8x1x3— 13). tage at Riga, where he became direc- tor, was opened on the’ 13th day of September, 1837, an there began the composition “Rienat,” whien he completed in Puris in 1840 (1x8x4—13). On the 13th of April, 1845, he completed his “Tannhauser,” and it was per- formed in Paris on March 13th, 1861, and on the 13th of August, 1876, he van the first of his “Bayreuth? diamas. ‘The 18th of Septenn- ber, 1882, was Wagner's last day at “Bay- reuth,” before leaving for Venice. He saw Liszt for the last time in Venice on January 13, 1883, and he died on the 13th of February, ii the 18th year of the new German confedcra. Fires from Steam Pipes.
