PARIS PICTURES. An Expose of French Wit, Utility, Cunning and Quackery. SHARPS VERSUS FLATS. Tricks That Tickle the Vain and En- rch the Knave, ANYTHING WILL SELL. Bon Mots, Coffee Grounds, Merino Sau- sages and Cookie’s Scraps. LITERARY IMPOSTORS Paris, Oct. 12, 1877. To a city like Paris, containing fewer Parisians than Datives of the different French provinces, it is, per- haps, natural that we should here come across ‘a strange variety of acventurers gathered together for the purpose of seeking their fortunes. Quack indus- tries and illigetimate trades, ingenious money making arts and nameless inventions interest and attract the observer. An inquiry into some of these reveals what & prodigious amount of acuteness and forethought is nowadays required for the purpose of blinding and cheating one’s fellow creatures, It also proves that the older the century grows the Jess is its trust in contemporaries, and hai indeed the task of securing victims. On the other hand many of tho dealings resorted to are more amusing than dishonest, and it cannot be said of those “who succeed that they have gained riches without labor, Admiration has often been excited by the con templation of wonderful inventiveness; by feats of Bconomy in the fabrication of emall wares; by the shrewdness detected in make-belleves and a deep wnowledge of human nature, 4 ¥ROG DocToR. A reputation has often beon built on a bon mot, and in this order of ideas leannot do better than cite the following trait d’espri¢ which became tn the mouth of a medical student acoup de fortune, The best ot the anecdote is that its hero later showed his talent to be oqual to the high position his ready wit won for him. The Duchess of D——, one of the most aristo- tratic ladies of the noble faubourg, became possessed of the idea that she had swal.owod a frog, She de- clared she felt it on her chest, and its presence inside tabbed her of peace, sleep and health, Parisian Authorities had the impudence to deny the existence of this animal. on old laay, who sold herb tea, gave it out at length that she knew of a young doctor who was certainly wiser than the best Parisian autuorities, and she did not care if it was afrog or a crocodile, he would kill whatever it was inauy one, The young Man was sont for, and the Duchoss told him her tale of woe, Far trom appearing astonished Dr. C—— felt tho patient’s pulse, ana, after & well-foigned pause, said:—‘Madame, there is & frog; but I will remove it.” He then prescribed an innocent emetic and went to the nearest flower shop, where ho bought a pretty green {mg and returned to the Duchess, The emetic was commencing to take fect, and, as the Duchess’ eyes filled with tears, the Doctor took advantage of this to slip his green con{fed- erate into the basin, Seeing the frog the Duchess de- clared an immense ioad was removed from her chest, and for an instant all seomed well; but a moment later sho turned pale and cried— “Ab, Monsieur, 1 am not yet cured. I foel the little ones, which that frog has lett behind her,” “Stop!’’ cried Dr. C——, without allowing a trace of embarrassment to be seen in his manner, “we shall soon see.” He then threw a searching glance upon the frog and utiered with a look of certainty vi:at settled the whole question, “Madame, the existeuce of little ones is au impossibility, for the frog 1s a maie!”” This cure is ag authentic as the deserved tame of Dr. Cabarus, AN ENTERPRISING WOMAN, In another and very different field of action there Is an instance of a very poor woman owing her fortane to a popular cry. She commenced her speculation with an idea, aud having it purchased a large tin vos- se], She then struck a bargain with the garcons of eaiéa for all the rejected coffee grounds they could collect in their ostablisnments, These she bdoiled down, adding a lew genuine coffee beans to sped forth aroma, if not to add a flavor, She then bought two coffee cups, and opening a vast mended umbrella set ber apparatus up im the muddiest part of market places, crying out, “Estaminet des pieds humides!"—inn for the damp- footed, Many poor devils very low down at heels, drenched with rain, shivering with cold, were willing to exchange their jast sou for anything bot and under shelter, The week following that of the inauguration of this wonderful ‘‘estaminet” two extra coflee cups had to be added to the couple ever in band, aud tho damp-footed approached by fours and fours at‘a time. The proprictress later added a glass-cloth and pail of wator for cleansing the cups, bul this was toward the end of the Empire, when progress and luxury had been jotroduced and tronsiormed demo- Cratic potiops. These innovations did vot, however, materially increase her charges, and she bas retired on avery comfortable income, Her emulitors now roll about a tia coilee pot of gigantic dimensions, but their prog smnaller, as sugar 18 require.!, co! grounds despi |, and the beverage is swallowed on dry asphalt, hs A NEWSBOY’S “RIG LIK’? A newsman was at about the suine period equally Buccessful in his line, and he owes his present renies to a repartee, When a boy he would stand in the streets jor hours and at tue most draughty, inhos- itable corners, ing out the names of the jouruo|s e had to get rid of.

Falsifications ong the most productive, A man was taken up two years ago who had sold sausage meat stulfed with chopped bits of merino iustead of truffles; milk is olten thickened with sheep’s brains; inferior butter stained with murigold and carrot juice to impart @ rich creamy color; silk ambreiias are dipped in gam and treacie to add # lustrous, heavy eflect to thin silk, A good umbrella without guin aad treacle cun be ‘*hired” for tureo sous per day and five per night.

Sponge cakes made of pastoboard are likewise “ient’’ for ceremoni- ous occasions, WISH VIRGINS, Among the most characteristic of small traders 1 have digcovered over oy women who belong to the corporation of ‘Wise Virgins,” They are neither young nor attractive, and a ied wise because they they gather, lanterns in hand, at Rue de Rambuteau, and here crowd, round pyramius of watercress, waiting for the overseers, As s00D a8 these bave examined the cress the virgins divide the emeraid bunches among themselves and disperse in ail directions for its sale belore eight A.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. —__-___ Maprip, Oct, 14, 1877, The Spanish capital just now is full of life and move- ment. For some time the weather has been delight- ful, a kind of American Indian summer, temperea by the cool breezes that come down to us from the Guad- arrama Mountains The King and bis court have not failed to seize the opportunity to present them- selves, as much us possible, in public, and hence all official Madrid has beon kept on the qui vive and forced to take more active exercise thun is its Wout, Alfouso XI. is certainly a young man of active habits of life apd promises to rival bis cousin, the Emperor of Brazil, to his untiring industry. A good part of each day 18 devoted by the young king to conferring with his Ministers, receiving ambassadors, generals, dukes, grandees and knights of the innumerable Spanish orders, who swarm over the pavement of this capital, and on gala days are as thick as flies in summer, As these receptions are more frequent tn Spain to-day than they usea to be in Paris in the days of the churlatan empire of the sec- ond Napoleon, some iden may be formed of the amount ot work imposed on Alfonso by court ceremonials, They by no means, however, exhaust the royal ener- gies, for the King is to be met with almost daily riding in tho Paseo de Jos Resoleto or in the splendid Retiro, which js the pride ot Madrid and as great a boon to the Madrileiios as is the Central Park to the denizon of Gotham. His Majesty is also fond of looking in on the public departments, which is an innovation that will probably lead to the sweeping away of some very antiquated cobwebs which bave long been the pride and consolation of Iberian offictaldom, INTRODUCING REFORMS, Although decidedly reactionary from a political point of view, the present goverament is making really serious efforts to introduce needed reforms into the Spanish administration, a work of no small diffculty in @ country where every one hopes to live directly or indirectly at the expense of the State. Whatis fovaly sought heres a carrera, which, being freely transiated, means a snug berth, whero the happy occupant can bask his life away, Nearly all the schools and colleges of this captital are pro- fessedly devoted to preparing young men to live on the country, aud in this branch of learaing they are certainly very apt scholars, It does not take much study to ita young man to wear a sword or to act as clerk {o one of the government bureaus, and then the examiners are not over strict when the applicant 1s backed by powerful friends, And Madrid closely re- sembles Washington in this, that it is ouly the govern- mental capital of the couutry., The population is made up wholly of the officials who live on the country and | the shopkeepers who live on the officiais, There is no industry, no manutactures, and the only workingmon | one sees are those engaged in building houses for tho ever increasing swarm of drones, that weighs like lead on the industrial provinces, Under these Conditions the government which seriously at- tempts to introduce economy 16 likely to find itseif face to face with serious difficulties, The whole offi- ctal class is bouvd together by common interest, and as the members of this class really rule the govern- mont anything like au attack on their privileges raises an immediate storm of discontent, Miuisters aro, therefore, obliged to tread cautiously in the path of reform, lest thoy should wake some sleeping lion which might devour them, I[¢ is no small merit in King Aitonso’s government that the Ministry bas sev Uselt seriously to grapple with this great evil and to HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1877.-QUINTUPLE SHEET. reduce permanently tle obarge on the couniry by gradually abolishing the sinecure places and dispen- Bing with the services of clerks whose chiet business 18 to draw their salary. By a decree lately issued are only to be filled up when the exigencies of the ser vice require it, which is tantamount to the con/ession that a good many places are just now filled up that could be made vacant with advantage. In addition to this measure a number of the young fry who had suce ceeded in making their nests in the departmental bu- reau are to be sent about their business. From the re- duction im the number of employés the government ex- pects to eflectan annual saving of 100,000,000 reals, or about $5,000,000, The increasea income from the new tari “is expected to reach 150,000,000 reals, or $7,500,000; yet even this cousiderabie addition to the revenue will hot balance the budget. Lt will, however, ve a considerable step in tue direction of putting the Spauish figauces on a sound footing, and should the warin Cuba be brougbt to an end in this campaign Spain, with a few years of this ecouomical régime, would find hersell placed on a good financial basis, THK NATIONAL PURSE EMPTY. Al the preseut moment the Treasury is in @ lamenta- bie condivon, aud the government may be said to bo living from hand to mouth, For the jast six moaths the public employés have received no pay, aud the couaiuon ol the poorer members ‘ol this | ciass is sad indeed. On a late occasion | tuis matter was brought rather pointedly under the notice of King Alfonso during one of his visits to tue departments, While the higher ofliciais were bowing and scraping, Didding Mis Majesty welcome and ue- claring their devotion aud attachment to (he turone, ope of the under clerks approw and with that xture of bluutness and farmilirity Which the lower bd middie classes in Spain trequentiy adopt tn ad- dressing persons Of a Liguer station iu life, said to the King, “Zombre, puedo decir palabra? (Mau, | cau | speak a word with you?) The King graciously Fepled tat he could speak, wen the min biuscered | outin the Madr leio dialect ‘Somos muerto de how bre. Seis meses, no hemos recitnde ni un centimy,” the ellect of this ttle incident was paraiyuc. The upper offioials looked scanuaized, and the crowd of courtiurs by whom the King gve® accompanied put on an ar of discontent that H lajesty — snouid bo troubled with the grievances of seribbliug | clerks. (he King himselt was rather takou aback and (urned to one of the Ministers who hap- pened to accompany him, and receiving confirmation | of the mun’s complaint, promised that something | should be done to ‘relieve the distress of the employés, How the poor King i to remedy the evil 18 bowever uiificuit to see There 18, of course, a way out of (no diffleulty, but any ne who should be bold enough to propose it would probably be immediately tried for high treason, Spain maintains an army out ol all proportion to her needs in time Of peace, and the number of officers sul more disproportionate thun the number of me By putting about ball the generals, coloueis, &., on bait pay and sending hall the soldiers to their homes, the government could save millions without | joflicting any wrong on the officers, a great numver of whom Baye acquired a rank to which thor services give them not a shadow of claim But the — goverument does not dare to meddle With the army because without its support King Allongo could not maintain bimself in Spain for amooth, Ti my made him King, and on tue sup- port ot the army rests the security of his throne. Lt 18 creaitable to the courage of the Ministry that under these circumstances it has retused to gratit an extraor- which some uniformed patriots have been some tiwe agitating. The reiusal was based on the solid ground that the Ministry could mot exceed the sum voied vy the Cortes tor the support of the army aud that it would be necessary 10 do go, If the promotion de- manded were uccorued, lu order, however, to com- © in some Way the disappointed ‘war: orders and medals have been showered on | tuem. To such extent has this decorating been | carried thatvon gala days the plaza in front of tho palace must appear to colestial observers converted into @ terrestrial milky Way, 80 Numerous are Lue stars strung Out on warrior breasts, THR COST OF VANITY, | But while these necessary econoinics are being put into lorce it strikes the Imagination of a stranger .o see the prodigulity with which money 1%, wasied in | another direction On uNeless and senseluss Uispla, Receptions in the palace are ail very weli; they at loast have the merit of contenting and flatvering those who take part in them; they allow the gallant mnilitary and (he pompous grandee to show off their line feathers and strat about in the sun of royal favor like their kindred peacocks, but wuen it comes to wastiag money on illuminating the public buildings, because it happens ty ve the suin’s day of the King's mother, or His Majesty's grandmother, of bis sister, or his COUSID, OF some OLber of Lue endiess royal tail, Lien the peopie grumble, The employés, been paid for six month K themselves, navurally 1 guough, sf the money spent on gas jets would not bo dinary promotion to ali the officers of the army, for | better employed paying their salaries, enabling them to feed their families, Aud the aulortupate taxpayer, borne gown with war imposte, - tain indignation that the public money be spent im this silly display, which only serves in the end io show how little real sympathy is telt toward the royal family, even in office-bolding Madrid, Within (he past week there have been several official illuminations in bonor of members o/ the royai fummliy, bat nota single instance has come under my notice where any private house went to the expense of exhib- jung even & wax candle, 11 thts be the state ol leeing in the immediate Vicinity of the Court, what must be the condition of the public mind in centres like Barcelona, Cadiz, Malaga aud Valencia, which know the goveru> ment of King Alfonse only 48 & tax grinding machine, over exacting gew contributions aud hampering the industry of the country with Vex#tious laws and regu lutions In its eflort to raise fauds to meet the neerssi- ies of cumbrous @nd expensive goverpmental ma- chinery. UNPOPCLARITY OF THK GOVERNMKNT. ‘The heart of tho country is not with eitber Alfonso Or the present Ministry, Which is visibly unger the \n- fluence of the French conservatives, anu by that fact wloue 18 separated trom all sympathy with the various liberal parties, which represent the asp'rations of the Vast majority of We Spanish people. Like the Frenca couservatives, the men at presout in power see note ing good tu liberal ideas, and could they do it with suicty Would dispense with tbe ad of Lhe Cortes ip governing the country. It is even charged against em Cunt they are preparing to adopt such measures ag will make the present parllameutary represeutation amere shim, Kumors are current that on tae meet ‘ng of the Coftes the vurliamentary parties, under certain conditions, will withdraw in ‘a body. Should the people in power be s0 unwise as to push their re-~ actiouary ideas to extreme lengivs there can be little doubt that within a very short time Spain will again iudulge in the national pastime of civi! war. The re- euit of the contlet might be very camaging to te throue of Aliouse Xil,, lor, althouch he cootrols the army Just now, there is bo knowing who might control it in the event of anew pronunciamento; for Spain has aiways a supply of Prims, Serranos and Payias on bund. ‘The discontented state ot she public mind 18 recoga) by the ministeriaiisig, aud the organs of the goveriment show themsvives very anxious that meusures of repression should be adopted, as they declare that a republican movement is being actively prepared throughout the country, A scupid incident which occurred here recently, aod which, througt tho over-zealousness of aw ball-pay oflicer, bad a fatal Lermiuation, guve the organs of (he Ministry a peg upon whieh to hang their argumenis in luvor of repression. Though tn most civiiized countries the icident would ave been looked upon AS & Warning to government officers uot to use, hostilely and without necessity, deadly weapons, in One of the poorer streets the police noticed one bight that rockels were being lired from ag upper window of a house at intervals, and, sume of the agents remembering that @ similar in- cideut bad occurred the pightof tho last republican insurrection, Lhere Was an tm medwte wlarm in the gov- ernment camp. At this moment a bali-pay officer, passing by, quired the cause of the unusual stir, und leading that some purtics were firing rockets from a window he borrowed # revolver from une of the guards and without any autbority led a party to tue ussuuit of the top floor Whence the hostile rockets. were supposed to come, On arriving wt the door 0 the room it was found open, and a voice having de- manded the business of the new comers the captain dumediately discharged bis revolver ip the direcuon Ol the door, lodging two balls in the breast and head of & young lawyerand Wounding another man iu the arm, 1) searching the rooms some guns aud revolvers were iscovered und some hall-dozen meu and women ‘These people, without any further proot of guilt than that iuroisbed by the firing of skyrockets and the possession of arms, were at once conveyed to prison, except the young sawyer, who died within a few moments frow tue result of his wounds. Strange to say the captain, instead of being arrested and tried Jor murder, Was bext day received by the Minister, and the following day bad the honor to be presented tu the King. ‘Ibis incident will probably restore him to fuil pay and obtain bim promotion and a cross or two, 1p most {ree countries bis 1eward would be a more or less prolunged acquaintance with the inside of a prison, This event is Kuown here as the “Lucident of the Calle Fresca;” no one calls it a murder or an assassination or w violation of the domicile; it is only wn incident—one ol those cosas d’ Espana which the foreigner finds it difficult to understand, M NG THR PRESS. ‘The war against the press 18 carried on with ap ac- tivity und Vigor in strange contradiction with the tras ditional slotbiulness of Spavish administrations.
