Mexico's l.lecnsed Hcggary

In Mexico there are no alms-houses
to shelter the paupers, but mendicant,

Beggar s Day,” when, under counte
nance of church and state, they levy
tlieir demands upon people with the ut
most confidence. 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

implied promise they are perfectly sat

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.

<
[J- H. 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.”
