Tlie Most Strict License Laws in the World A little book has 1 teen published recently which gives the public some insight into the functions and powers of the Prefect of Paris. No one is allowed to stick a note on door or window asking for tin employee, or post a bill on a board un less it be stamped and taxed. Advertis ers may adopt any color they please ex cept white, which signifies purity, and is reserved for official announeenients. Spec ial premission is required to give an assault-at-unus, but nothing is said in regard to duels. If anyone comes to Paris with the idea that he can start bus iness right off as a rag picker lie is mis taken. He will lie run in if found gather ing rags without a license. No reunion or meeting for political or religious ob jects can meet without the consent of the Prefect and under whatever condition lie pleases. In order to hold a meeting on a non-political subject seven persons con nected with it must make a declaration at the Prefecture three clear days before the day of meeting. Special jiermission is required to give balls and concerts and to perform feats of agility in music halls. Owing to the exigencies of the octroi cat tle and live stock are only allowed to en ter Paris at certain hours of the day and by certain routes. Merchants of bric-a brac must be supplied with brass medals and licensed. Dogs are made the sub ject of a series of regulations. French men seem to have a terror of the bulldog, for it is decreed that “no dog of the race boule dogue or a crossed bottle dogue must be allowed to go at large in the street, in warehouses, workshops, or oth er public places. Inside of houses these dogs must always be kept in a suring or muzzle,” Com missionaries must make a declaration and get a medal and livret be fore starting business. Commissionaries are shoeblacks. No organ grinder, street musician, or itinerant merchant can ex ercise his profession without the permis sion of the Prefect. No permission is granted unless the applicant has resided at least, a year within the jurisdiction of the Prefect and is French. The street musician, however, sometimes play wit h out permission. Should a concierge be in a particularly amiable turn he will allow an Italian to play within his gates, where he is as absolute as the Prefect. The Prefect supplies workmen with livrets and without which they are not worth anything. Porters at the public markets must have a certificate of good conduct from the police.

The Cause of Spiritualism on a Itapiri Increase. Savannah News.] It is not generally known, perhaps, that the Southern Spiritulists’ Associa tion owns twenty acres of land on the summit of Lookout Mountain, and that every summer a month’s camp meeting is held there. The president of the asso ciation, is a prominent business man of Chattanooga. The members are scat tered through half a dozen States, and many of them are people of wealth and cultivation. The camp meeting on Lookout is at tended by a large number of Spiritualists. Most of are members of the association, but there are always some in attendance from the North and M ost. The daily ex ercises consists of addresses, generally aimed against the Christian religion, and of mediumistic tests. Famous mediums from all parts of the country reap a golden harvest. Those who are not Spiritualists cannot understand the unquestioning faith with which men and women of apparent sound sense aud undoubted culture accept the pretended revelations of professional mediums. The most unblushing frauds are practiced, and always at a pecuniary loss to the dujies. It sometimes occurs that a medium is exposed, but the Spirit ualists refuse to credit the evidence of their own senses and blindly go on per mitting themselves to be defrauded. The unquestioning faith of Spiritualists is due to an abnormal development of the superstitious element in their natures. One entirely free from superstition could never be a Spiritualist, It is true that Spiritualists claim that their faith is founded upon the laws of nature and that it is susceptible of scientific explanation; but an unbeliever who hears a Spiritua list attempt to explain his faith will speedily be convinced that it is nothing but nonsense. It is a fact that the Spiritualist are increasing. The Southern Association is by no means the only organization of the kind in the country. Every section has a similar organization, and in the North and West quite a number of Spir itualist temples have been built. The in crease is not a healthy sign, for while heterodoxy is not always to be con demned, when it takes the form of a faith founded upou superstition it is evi dence that something is wrong, both in the spirtual and the intellectual educa tion of those who accept such a faith. How Some Maine Fishermen Were Pun ished. The holding of one-tenth of ticket 7-1,- 987 in The Louisiana State Lottery, Jordan and others of this city, makes the second time that the capital prize (1150,000) has come to Portland within the past year. The good luck of the first syndicate who drew $15,000 induced Hurston and his friends to form a com bination and purchased ten one-dofflar or one-tenth tickets. One of these tickets drew $15,000. Six or seven of the Mar ston syndicate are fishermen or laborers in needy circumstances and the money conies opportunely to them. —Portland (Me.) Express, March -3. THE SLUGGER'S HEAD. Sullivan iu the Hands of a I’hreiiologist. Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunilav.] Last evening just before tin* curtain rang up ou the exhibition given by the John L. Sullivan Combination, an En quirer reporter, in company with l’rof. Edgar C. Beall, the phrenologist, gained admission to the stage. The champion pugilist was asked if he would give a few moments of his time and allow his head examined for the benefit of the readers of the Enquirer. He granted the request gracefully and quietly submitted to the ordeal. The examination was made in Sullivan's dressing-room. Here is the result of thesitting. given in Prof. Beall's own language: Few men of celebrity or notoriety art 1 correctly understood by the world at large. They generally have some weak ness which escape even the jealous scru tiny of their enemies, and perhaps til most an equal number of virtues which ate scarcely appreciated by their friends. To some extent this is true of John L. Sullivan. And whatever may be justly said of his defects or mistakes, it is cer tain that he hits some elements of mind as well as muscle of which he hus good reason to be proud. His temperament is the motive-vital, which gives great strength of body com bined with ardent feelings and fondness for all animal enjoyments. It is the con stitution for outdoor enjoyment, and in fact almost everything but study. He has, also, black hair and dark gray eyes, which indicate great intensity of passion, with considerable accuracy of judgment iu practical affairs. The head measures twenty-two and a half inches, which is half an inch above the full size, but as the quality of the organization is not favorably to activity of the intellect, of course he will never do much in the world of thought. His head is of the usual Irish type, long and narrow, and extending greatly back ward from the ears, showing a strong so cial nature, and especially love of the op posite sex. But in view of the man’s his tory, the diameter in the region of the ears at coinbatativeness and destructive ness is surprisingly small. He is not ag gressive by nature, and he is a fighter more from the fact of his muscle and skill than from a love of contention. And he is very far from being as cruel and severe as most people would suppose. The de cided narrowness of the side head extends also to the faculties of secrecy and acqui sitiveness, the instincts of concealment and possession, the latter of which is ex ceedingly weak. Such a man will prefer almost any vocation to that of com merce. Mr. Sullivan has also very small self esteem, or dignity—that kind of pride which is so marked in the English char acter —and he is also less vain than many who have less reason to indulge the love of praise. And he truly says that most men, if flattered as he has been, would exhibit this weakness more than he has done. The lack of dignity is indicated by the sloping off of the upper back head. But at the top, on a line with the ears, there is considerable elevation at firmness; and the peculiar squareness of the lower jaw and slight fullness or fold at the sides of the mouth are unmistak able signs of “bull dog" tenacity. There is the man's greatest element of force. He can hold with a death-grip to a pur pose when his mind is made tip, but he is impatient as to methods, and Ims very little continuity of thought. The frontal top head is very high at benevolence, and few men will lie more generous in a certain way. Intellectually Mr. Sullivan is quick to observe and estimate the qualities of ma terial things, but his upper forehead slopes off' at the sides, showing little ca pacity for philosophy orabstract thought However, he has a wonderful fullness in the centre of the forehead where it joins the hair, which signifies a keen sense of human nature. His power in this re sjiect, together with his perception of motion aud distance—the faculties of weight and size, explain the secret of his pugilistic dexterity and skill. He dis cerns with the rapidity of lightning the intentions of an opponent, and directs his blows with the precision of an artist. Socially, this man will always stand in his own light, for he lias neither cunning nor sufficient fluency of language to dis play himsejf to the best advantage, and if there are better men than he there are also many who are worse. SHERMAN’S NARROW ESCAPE. Cuban Banditti Arrange to Capture Him But Failed By I'ive Minutes. New York, April 22.—A special from Key West, Fla., to the Herald says: From private letters from Havana it is learned that a party of kidnapjiers or outlaws, comprising much of the danger ous elements of Cuban banditti, had ar ranged to capture Senator John Sher man on his recent visit to Cuba. The project only failed b.v a difference of time. The plot was well arranged, and the bandetti were in sufficient force to capture Sherman’s party, but, for tunately for the distinguished gentle man’s safety, they left the plantation in tended as the scene of the outrage just five minutes before theoutlaws appeared. It is thought that the owner of the plan tation was a party to the scheme. The foregoing api>ears in a paper published to-dav. While in Havana Mr. Sherman took occasion to congratulate the Cap tain General on the pence throughout the island. When the Senator, however, expressed a desire to visit the sugar plan tations in the interior, the military was sent as an escort, and the entire party barely escaped an unpleasant surprise. The letter referred to above, after mentioning several wealthy Span iards recently captured and held for ransom, says: ‘T also learn that a few minutes after the visit of Sherman, Man derson, McCook and the Spanish officials to the plantation of Pedneo Lamberto Fernandez, at Colon, the bandit Malagas arrived ia search of the Americans. Upon being told by the overseer that the party had left, that officr was severely l>eaten to make him divulge their hiding place. The bandits satisfied themselves by searching the plantation immediately and then retired. Malagas was in full uniform, ami his band was well main tained and armed to receive such dis tinguished visitors.’’ John Ryan, who was arrested in Louis, ville the other day as a suspected felon, Informed the Judge before whom he was taken that he had once been convicted of burglary but had served his term in prison and been released. Speaking of the efforts to reform, Ryan said: “No man who has once been convicted, as I have been, can reform, unless un der unusual circumstanees. In those days when the officers of jhe law are so well informed aud constantly on the look out to arrest some one you cannot go unnoticed. lam a fine mechanic, but no matter what city I turn to the result is always the same. I am hounded down and either arrested or driven away. I must live somewhere, but it is hard to do so and lie honest, although 1 have tried ever so hard.” If the liver and kidneys are sluggish and inactive, Hood’s Sarsaparilla will rouse them to prompt and regular action.

Is that one of Fwank's?" said one of those beings that give strong reason to believe in the Darwinian theory yesterday afternoon, on Chestnut street. The object addressed was quite as nice an “if as the one that spoke, and the cause of the remark was one of those coats intended for the spring trade but cut short in its growth by the continued cold weather. “Yalta, deah boy. Ye see, it's bloom in’ cold ter-day an' I made a date with a fairy to walk ter-day, an' I had to do it, me boy.” “How hawd did he stwike ye,chappie?” “Seventeen cents till 5 o’clock an’ tire cents anhowh ait ah, but [must be back, ye know, an" the posey costs two cents an howh an’ 1 could only bowwah a quawtah from my little sistah.” Then they parted. At 5 o'clock “Chappie” was seen coming down the street. He turned off Chestunt stmt at Twelft h and went a few doors, rang a bell and entered a house. The stroller followed it. 1n a nicely furnished back room was seated a well-dressed youth about 27 years of age. He turned out to be “Fwank.”. All around the room were hung garments of all shades and kinds, but all were of the latest “English cut. Here “Chappie", carefully took off the coat, after remov ing the rose that pestled in the upper buttonhole. The bill was 2:1 cents. “What *can Ido faw ye, Chappie?” was “Fwank's” salutation as soon as the wind had opened the door and cleared the room. “Well, this‘ehappie’ doesn't want any thing, except to know a little bit about this industry of yours. When* do you get these clothes hanging around lien*, and is your business a nourishing suc cess?” At first there was an apparent indispo sition to answer, but it didn't take long to make up the little mind possessed, and a few startling facts were developed. The details will not, however, be told in the silly lingo of the informer. The establishment has been in existence nearly two years and has lieen growing rapidly ever since its organization. The proprietor buys all kinds of fashionable clothing from slender duties whose fathers give them plenty. When they get hard up they go to “Fwank’s,” and there they receive a very fair juice for their clothing. The cheap dude, that stands on Chestnut stn*et curbstones and meanders dolefully up and down, wondering all day when something is going to happen to make it rich, so it can enjoy life tike other “chaps,*’ or wait ing for some heiress to fall in love with its shape, is the one that enriches ‘‘Fwank.” This branch of the “genus dudii” seldom lias more than a dollar at onetime, but it must Inuke an apjiear auee. So it goes to “Fwank,” and there it can get one of those dickey “top coats for ten cents the first hour and live cents an hour after.” On Saturdays and Sun days the ])riee is raised fifty per cent. Dress suits are hired in the evenings for forty cents. It often makes them go broke for a week on these occasions. Trousers can be hired for from five to eight cents an hour. No security is re quired. On Saturdays “Fwank” buys a job lot stock of flowers aud hires them out iu lots lunging from two to five cents an hour. l)ur Hoad Laws a Smire and :i Delusion. Special from Athens, On.] The grand jury in their reeomendations, make a few remarks about the jr**sent road laws of the State: “We are sure that our reads could lie greatly improved by making proper changes in shortening distances and evading steep hills. We especially recommend that the ordinary order such changes in our roads as will expedite travel and benefit the jiublie. This is a day of progress and we do not believe that the publie should be forced to climb the long, steep and rugged hills, the original paths of the aboriginees, when such places can be avoided, our public roads are not worked as they should be; it seems almost iinjiossible to get road commissioners to discharge their duties properly. The law might answer if rigidly enforced. The surface work usually done amounts to nothing. We think our road laws are out of date and are not up to the date and time. We do not think it right or proper to summons out and take from tie* farm laborers, as is often done, at an impor tant and valuable time of the year in their crops, forcing them to lay down their plows and hoes and other fanning implements ami go and work over the roads in order that the overseers and commissioners may say that their roads have been worked prior to the assembling of the grand jury of each court.

No answer, lie wrote again. No answer. He wrote weekly, semi-weekly, tri-weekly, and finally daily; but no answer was received. He finally made a trip of 200 miles to walk in on the president and ask him the question direct. “Why, we don’t pay any divi dends, of course,” was the answer. “And cuss me if I want any!” exclaimed the holder. “All I’m after is to lick S2OO out of you for the trouble I've been to.” And they say he did it. —Wall Street News.

The United States Supreme Ottnrt Con tinue the Greatest of all (fraud*. , Washington Correspondence New York Son ] The Supreme Court of the Tinted States to-day confirmed the Maxwell grant, which was the title of the clainP ante under that grant to 1,700,000 acres of land lying in New Mexico and Colorado, along thedividing line of those two Territories. The Maxwell grant has been considered the biggest land fraud that was ever perpetrated, and has al ways lieen used as an illustration of big swindles, but the Sujierior Court decides that it is not a swindle at all. In 1882 two Canadian French men by the names of Beaubien and Maraiidi, who were traders at the old Indian jmeblo at Taos, procured from the Spanish Government, through the influence of the Viceroy of Mexico, the grant of this enormous trai t of land, unon a stipulation that il should I**colonized by French Canadians. Although very few colonists wen* ever imjKjrted by the grantees, they contiumsl to undisputed possession of the territory until cession of that country to the l nited States by the Rejmblic of Mex ico. The treaty of Gttndalntqie-Hidalgo stipulated that the Government of the 1 nited States should recognize all of this old grant of laud, and the Supreme Court to-day confirmed the title to the Maxwell tract for this reason. It is the finest grazing laud on the continent, and its water privileges are almost jinceless, Marandi conveyed his interests in the tract to Beaubien, and the only child of Beaubien was married to the old scout and hunter, Lucien B. Maxwell, the chum and jtartner of Kit Carson. They together piloted Fremont across the continent, and the “Path Finders” is a tribute to their skill as guidesuml scouts. Maxwell inherited through his wife the entire grant, abandoned the business of hunting, and built a fine {dace on the l)iuai ron and kept ojieu house the rest of his life, borrowing money to entertain his friends until he became so embarrass**d that the grant was seized by his creditors and sold under un arrangement to a |*arty of Amsterdam Dutchman. Ex-Sena tor Chaffee, of Colorado, and Steven It. Elkins were in teres tail iu the transaction, and are supposed to have made a great deal of money out of it. The grant is covered with towns and ranches, and iu the liatou Mountains are many valuable mines. The chief town is Trinidad, a pi nee of some 4,000 inhabitants, and the entire population of the grunt can not lie less than 20,000 or 2”>,0O0. These people by the decision of the Supreme Court are declared squatters, and the Maxwell Grant Company will have to take some means of ejecting them. EXTRAORDINARY PREMONITION. A Young Girl’s Narrow Kscape From a Watery Grave. The Midland Advertiser, published at Wcduesbury, England, contains a sin gular narrative. A girl named Louisa Bean, living with her mother at Queen street, Wednesbury, some time ago ex pressed a desire to go to America, and her friends ultimately yielded to her wishes. A suggestion, however, was made to her to go to Australia, and, de- Kjiite her mother's remonstrances, she decided to there. The family was poor and great difficulty was experienced in collecting tDo necessary funds and pro viding the girl with an outfit. Her box was forwarded to London, and she fol lowed to join the Kapunda. Then fol lowed the most extraordinary part of the affair. The mother, who was jirostrated with grief, began to have strange visions. Rejieutedly she imagined she saw a large rock jutting out from the ocean, and that upon this rock was a large bird. Then she would see a shiji loaded with passen gers strike against the rock and sink. She fancied she could hear the shouts of the sailors aud the shrieks of the women on board, and frequently, both at night and day, the strange hallucination occujiied her mind. The day before the ship sail ed she was in the kitchen, when a cry of “Oh, mother!” seemed to come from the cellar. Even now the woman affirms that it was Louisa who shouted, and it was not the result of an excited and imaginative brain. Mrs. Benn was so alarmed that she at once telegraphed her daughter to come back. The girl was at the time on board the ship, and for a moment she hesitated to obey. The doc tor on board the vessel advised her to stoji, but the schoolmaster urgt*d her to obey her mother. She decided to leave the shij> and go home, but her luggage was not given to her, as it could not lie got, and everything she posessed, exeejifc what she wore, hail to lie left in the ship. Until the news of the loss of the vessel was conveyed to her she regretted she had not remained on board. Several of her companions are included among the list of the drowned, and she is thus able to realize the narrowness of her escape. Give Ely’s Cream Balm a trial.
