They come out of their holes and coverts in swarms—the blind, the halt, the lame and the lazv— ami by sunrise on Saturday morning the streets are full of them. First they make the tour of the shops and mar kets, und the merchants, expecting them, have laid by a store of small coin for the purpose. To neglect to give would be a poor advertisement, lor among the professioyal beggars are some good customers for tile rest of tlm ueek. Then they patrol every street and not a house is left unvisited; or a person whom they meet unimportuned. The legalized paupers are never im pertinent, but if ever so harshly re pulsed will make you an obeisance worthy of Chesterfield in his palmiest days, und politely respond, “perdo Heme ustod.” A favorite expedient for getting rid of them six days in the week is to sav, nada na t Sabido_ nothing until Saturday—with which implied promise they are perfectly sat isfied. Their quiet assurance is some times amusing. The other day a one- legged man accosted me iu the market place, with outstretched hand and the usual per Dios—for God’s sake. I felt in my purse, but found nothing less than a dollar, rather too much for a wandering scribe to squander upon one of 10,000 applicants; but without the least embarrassment the old fellow drew from his pocket a handful of sil ver and courteously offered to make change for me.

Haynie in San Francisco Chronicle.] Marriages are arranged in France, with very few exceptions, on pure business prin ciples. They don’t sell young girls in France like calves and colts, as they do in Germany, but they sometimes come pretty close to it. The present marriage laws of France are very singular and belong to an antiquated state of society which was misused for so long by the priesthood. Until a man is 25 years old he is compelled to ask permission of Ids parents to wed, and if his parents are dead then he must seek permission from his grand mother and grandfather. If ho is “turned 25” he may serve his unwilling father and mother with those documents, at in tervals of a fortnight from each other, calle<l sommations respecteuse, or respectful summons,, and if the parents still remain obstinate then the maire gives him permission to passer outre, that is, to get married with out their consent With the woman the age of her freedom is fixed at 21; but should she undertake to get married even after that age without full parental consent society would have so much to say about it that she would be almost cast out among the wicked ones of the world. This gives the parents quite a despotic power over the matrimonial inclina tions of their beloved offspring. Sending a document throu'ii the medium of a Rotary to stubborn parents would be a scandal far more shocking than to break either one of the commandments. « Generally speaking, marriages in France are arranged between the two famlies with the help of a notary. Sometimes, it is true, there is a romance or a sentiment about the affair which tells of love and affection; but this does not often happen. The usual way is for the parents to arrange matters. A marriage having been considered advisable between two families, the young couple are informed of the fate which is in store for them, and after a few interviews in the pres ence of third persons tho banns are pub lished, as they say in England, but not in the same manner. In France the banns are put up at the mairies (mayors’ offices), of which there are twenty iu Paris alone. They con sist of a notice posted on the doors of the mairie, where it remains for two weeks. Usually there are two weddings; but one alone—that at the mairie, or the civil mar riage—is made obligatory by the law, and without it the religious marriage is entirely void. The religious marriage is always cele brated after the civil ceremony and a great many persons disregard it altogether. I have witnessed many weddings here in Paris, both civil and religious ones, and I must say that usually they are not the im pressive affairs some writers would have us believe them to be. The popular days for weddings art» Tuesdays and Saturdays. The fiances, their relations and their witnesses have met for the purpose of proceeding to the mairie. The witnesses are by long odds the most important personages in the group. He is a lucky bridegroom who can induce some great personage to serve bim in this matri monial capacity. A great deal depends upon the standing of these witnesses, and happy are the couple who can boast that a states man, an academician or a nobleman is one of their friends “for this occasion only,” if no longer. Some of the invited guests have brought their children, dressed out like dolls and as timid as mice. While the party are taking their seats tho maire is preparing him self for the occasion. He wraps a tricolored scarf around his waiat, and it is this scarf which alone confers on him the power to pronounce the words from the civil code which no human power can afterwards set aside. When he is ready the h ussier opens the door leading into tho public salle and cries out, “Monsieur le Maire!” Everybody stands up, the maire enters, sits down, and then tho audience do tbe same. Tho door leading into the street is left wide open, and it must remain so during the entire ceremony, for the law requires that a civil marriage shall be a public one. Any one has a right to enter, and, if there be any reason for doing so, to make an objection. At the mairie a clerk is seated before a desk, with a large register before him. When their names are called the “loving couple” advance to the platform, and, with their relatives and wit nesses, scat themselves in certain large plush chairs, which are used exclusively fur such occasions. The clerk reads a port of the law governing marriages, and then tbe maire asks both candidates for matrimony if they consent to take each other for man and wife. When the progenitors of the couple are pre sent, they an» asked if they give their con sent. Then the maire reads from the civil code tho paragraphs descriptive of the rights and duties of the spouses. He then declares them married, anil the signing of the record by the married couple and their witnesses completes the ceremony. Last of all there is a collection taken up at the door, “pour les pauvres.” GIAMT $50,000 GIVEN AWAY POPULAR MONTHLY.
