PARIS, Sept. 24.—When I was ush-, ered into the offices of Monsieur Ber- tillon, with an introduction from our Ambassador to France, Mr. Herrick (and an introduction, be it known, te one of the most necessary things in Paris, especially where the police concerned), I saw a man above the average height with beard tinged with | gray. His face was somewhat pale, for this famous man, whose name is @ household word, 1s an incessant worker, and, accordingly, not so well of late, He looks at you squarely, seriously; but when he smiles his whole face lights up with kindliness | and good humor.
