Paris por. N. Y. Sun. Miss Leal, a dashing and elegant brunette, of English or American origin and mysterious antecedents, has just been condemned by the Paris tribunal to four months imprisonment for obtaining money under false pretenses. The story proves the everlasting guillibility of humanity, and throws a light on a curious feature of modern European life, the matrimonial agency. Mine. Demortier, alias Baronne de la Rochette, together with her partner and lover, Lecourtois, kept a matrimonial agency in a handsome suite of rooms in the Boulevard St. Germain. As luck would have it, Miss Leal, in search of adventures, came to this agency one day, and her beauty and talent immediately won her the confidence of the managers of the agency and an offer of partnership, which she accepted. Miss Leal seems to have had considerable experience in the business, for the agency in question was transformed as soon as she became interested. Servants in livery were hired, and advertisements, inserted in Figaro and Le Petit Journal, announcing widows with one million, orphans with "two millions and no scruples," orphans with "three millions and insignificant blemish," who were all anxious to marry husbands of "gentlemanly appearance." Silly men who answered these advertisements received by post a circular surmounted by the Baroness' coronet and motto "Fais ce que doit," or in other words, "Do your duty." The circular ran as follows: "Marriage is an incontestable necessity, and yet many persons, men and women, are deprived of its blessings for want of relations. The great difficulties experienced in making good matches and happy and rich marriages are due in a large measure to the absence of serious intermediaries. This establishment is not an agency, inasmuch as everything is done en famille. A commission of two per cent is taken on the dowry, payable by the husband after the marriage, and after he has received the sum." ex-valet of Carouen servants in rich furs dus vivendi of names of all the fixtures necessary, the naïve friends.

The circular ran as follows: "Marriage is an incontestable necessity, and yet many persons, men and women, are deprived of its blessings for want of relations. The great difficulties experienced in making good matches and happy and rich marriages are due in a large measure to the absence of serious intermediaries. This establishment is not an agency, inasmuch as everything is done en famille. A commission of two per cent is taken on the dowry, payable by the husband after the marriage, and after he has received the sum. The most discretion is guaranteed both before and after." The trick was to throw dust in the eyes of dupes by a certain number of preliminary formalities and questions before presenting them to the rich widow or orphan and to her parents. Venerable old women were hired to act the role of mother; the lover of the Baroness played the part of father or uncle; the widow, the millionaire orphan, or the orphan with "three millions and an insignificant blemish," was impersonated by Miss Leal, who extorted presents from innumerable suitors, took the Baroness and all her psoido relatives to the opera at the expense of an endless series of simpletons, and who during the past three years has lived luxuriously, and finally set up an agency on her own account in the Rue Washington. The trial was highly amusing, thanks to the testimony of a score of dupes of all ranks, ages and professions, from Barons down to country barbers, who had all paid a tribute of hundreds or of thousands of francs to Miss Leal, always in the hope of winning her and her imaginary dowry, which was never represented at less than $100,000. The agency of the Baronne de la Rochette and that of Miss Leal were swindling affairs. There are at the present moment in Paris between fifty and sixty serious matrimonial agencies having ramifications in all spheres of society. Furthermore, twenty five per cent of the marriages in the middle and upper classes of Paris are arranged by these agencies. This is a fact which has been established by careful inquiry. Now, let us see how the agency is organized, and how the machinery works. Anatole desires to marry. He does not know a girl that will suit him; his friends cannot help him; the usages of Parisian life prevent him from making acquaintances among marriageable maidens. He therefore goes to an agency and says, we will suppose, to the manager: "Monsieur, I am thirty four years of age; I am an employee in the Bilateral Letter Company; I earn $50 a month, but hope to get an increase next year. Can you find me a nice young wife, pretty, bright and an orphan? I do not care to have a mother-in-law, and I don't mind if the young lady is not a musician." The matrimonial agent looks over his books, reflects and replies: "Monsieur, I think I can just fix you." Half Barrels, Small Kegs Made and Repaired. Cooperage in all Branches WILLIAM FISCHER. R.

Monsieur, I am thirty four years of age; I am an employee in the Bilateral Maker Company; I earn $50 a month, but hope to get an increase next year. Can you find me a nice young wife, pretty, bright and an orphan? I do not care to have a mother-in-law, and I don't mind if the young lady is not a musician." The matrimonial agent looks over his books, reflects and replies: "Monsieur, I think I can just fix you. Lady, 29 years of age, agreeable exterior, small house near Dijon, expectations $8,000, daughter of a retired military man, excellent pianiste." Anatole accepts at once, and two months later he is married and happy, and his innocent wife, who knows nothing about the intervention of the discreet agency, exclaims in a moment of expansion: "My Anatole, what a lucky idea that you stopped at Dijon on your way to Geneva! Had it not been for that we might never have met!" Now comes the question, How did the matrimonial agent know that this modest and honorable spinster was waiting for a husband on the outskirts of Dijon? The answer is, because he has correspondents all over France, who send him information and exercise a sort of secret police on his account. In the provinces, everybody knows everything about everybody else, and it is easy for the correspondents of the matrimonial agents to note that Mille. A. has inherited $20,000, that Mille. B. has a weakness for lawyers, and that Mille. C. has refused to take the vail. "Very good," you will say. "Now tell me how the matrimonial agent manages to bring the young people together?" This is precisely the point where genius comes into play, aided often by an obliging priest. The matrimonial agent has under his command a whole army of secondary agents, who may be classified under seven headings—viz.; scouts, entertainers having homes, permanent or temporary inquiry agents, travelers, followers, introducers and conscious or unconscious intermediaries. The chief scout of a first-class Parish matrimonial agency was formerly a body servant of Cavour; he married the chambermaid of a fashionable beauty of the court of Napoleon III; and now he and his wife earn in their new profession $2,000. Their business is to discover marriageable girls and report them at headquarters; the BRUNETTE, mysteriously undermined in imprisonment, neverlasting is a light European state. Demortogether lois, kept in suite of main. As Leal, in his agency and confidence an offer made. Miss the experience in question became hired, garro and awa withions and millions were alllemany used these circular net and words, as folcessity, men, are of relanceenced in and rich to the This esmuch as commissidowry, marriage. The ex-valet of Cavour gossips at cafes with men servants in rich families; he learns the modus vivendi of each family; he gets the names of all the friends of a family; and, if necessary, the names of the friends of the friends. Thanks to this information, the chief matrimonial agent is able to discover among these names either that of a person affiliated with the agency, or else an unconscious agent who will introduce his client to the family of the young lady whose hand and dowry are to be woo. Travelers are agents sent to the provinces, and especially to the seaside or to watering places, on some special mission. Followers are volunteer agents who go to marriages and midday masses in the Paris churches, remark young girls accompanied by their mothers, follow them to their homes, and by dint of patience discover who they are, what they are worth, and so constitute a sort of dossier or brief which they sell to an agency. Conscious intermediaries are financial agents, solicitors or notaries whose business enables them to collect information of a private kind. As for the unconscious agents, they are created by the conscious intermediary, who calls upon a friend of the family about which information is required, or upon a doctor or a priest who is in relations with that family. This conscious intermediary has an honorable social position. He apologizes for intruding, and says that he has been sent to ask for information in view of a marriage much desired by a person whom he is not at liberty to name. The family is puzzled, wonders who the mysterious person may be and answers vaguely, perhaps, but sufficiently to enable the agency to know what are the desires of the family. Then, if the agency has not on its books a client capable of realizing those desires, it is but a poor agency. The bride rarely knows that she has been won through the intermediary of an agency. It is only the very richly dowered who are aware of the existence of this complicated and mysterious machinery, and who are therefore tempted to see in every young man with whom they waltz a client of a matriCURRENT WIT. BUSINESS IN BUSINESS. In a small town out West an ex-county Judge is cashier of the bank. "The check is all right, sir," he said to a stranger, "but the evidence you offer in identifying yourself as the person to whose order it is drawn is scarcey sufficient." "I've known you to hang a man on less evidence, Judge," was the stranger's response. "Quite likely," replied the ex-judge, "but when it comes to letting go of cold cash we have to be careful." SMALL BEGINNINGS. "Yes, sir," he said proudly, "I began life a barefooted boy, and see where I am now." "Yes, you are way up, but you had a big advantage at the start." "How so?" "You began life a barefooted boy; the rest of us began life as barefooted babies." A PROOF OF CELEBRITY. "Did you know that Miss de Smythe is an actress?" asked Hobson, speaking of a mutual friend. "No," replied Robinson. "Is she well known?" "Yes, they put her picture on cigarette packages." A WIFE'S REQUEST. "Did you look under the bed?" inquired a wife of her husband after he had turned out the light and got fairly settled for a night's rest. "No," was the blunt response. "Well, suppose there's a man there?" said the alarmed woman. "I don't want to see him if there is," was the answer. "Well, get up and look; I shall not let you rest until you do." He knew her of old, and after fumbling around found a match, lit it and looked under the bed. Then he threw the match away, got into bed and whispered: "My dear, there is a man under the bed." "Oh, get out!" was the quick response. Most Excellent. J. J. Atkins, Chief of Police, Knoxville, Tenn., writes: "My family and I are beneficiaries of your most excellent medicine, Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, having found it to be all that you claim for it, desire to testify to its virtue.

He knew her of old, and after fumbling around found a match, lit it and looked under the bed. Then he threw the match away, got into bed and whispered: "My dear, there is a man under the bed." "Oh, get out!" was the quick response. "You can't fool me. I know better." Then she turned over perfectly satisfied and went to sleep. She had accomplished her object. A PUN IN DISTRESS. "Oh, Mr. President, the cashier—the cashier!" stammered the paying teller as the President entered the bank. "Well, well! What of the cashier?" asked the President, impatiently. "He's gone, and there's no cash here. THE ANARCHIST'S CREED. First Anarchist—Anything of interest in the paper to day? Second Anarchist—I don't see anything yet. Hello!

Several evenings ago Major Stofah went up on Sixteenth street to see a young lady to whom he has been very attentive. She was not visible at first, and her twelve-year-old brother entertained the Major. After various questions the kid remarked: "You aren't contagious, are you?" "Why, Johnny, what do you mean by that?" asked the Major, with an innocent laugh of surprise. "Oh, nothing! I guess; only I heard mother say you wasn't, can-e sister had been trying to catch you all winter, and she couldn't do it." A COMING HUMORIST.

GENTLEMEN: It is with pleasure I add my testimonial to the many well-known cures which your most excellent remedy has effected. For more than two years I was a great sufferer with rheumatism, being scarce free from pain during the time I found no relief until I procured Dr. Pardee's remedy, and it eured me completely. It is now two years since I discontinued its use and I have had no symptoms of the disease since. I know from my own and from the experience of many others also, that it will cure any case of rheumatism or neuralgia. I am very truly yours. MRS. H. S. BONESTEELE. Syracuse, N. Y. GENTS: I have been troubled with Rheumatism for three years, at times very badly afflicted; was in that condition about two weeks ago, when I got a bottle of Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, and in three days time was greatly relieved, and have not been troubled with it since I finished this bottle. I feel like recommending it in the highest terms, as I believe it will do all that is claimed for it. Yours truly, JOHN BLODGETT, 62 Madison St. Lockport, N. Y. GENTLEMEN: I think the medicine prepared by the Pardee Medicine Company is in fact the best rheumatic medicine now on the market; its equal is not known. My boy only six years old was confined to his bed with rheumatism; I got a bottle of the medicine and in a few days he was out of bed and playing around the house. I can cheerfully recommend this medicine to all rheumatic sufferers. J. K. PERRY, Shoe Dealer. Ask your druggist for Dr. Pardee's Remedy and take no other. Price $1 per bottle; six bottles.$5.

I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what $8.8.8 had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. I general health had been bad for two or three years—I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of $8.8.8 my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give $8.8.8 a fair trial. Mrs. NANCY J.
