THE TOILERS 0F PARIS.
A Near View of the Working
Classes of the French Capital.
—.———.———
A People Who Are Fond of Wine and
Song and Careless About the Eu-
ture — Their reeling Toward
LSociety. .
In order to study the working classes
thoroughly M. Henri Leyret, a literary
man, started business as .a marchand
de vin, or publican, in one of the most
crowded districts of Paris, says a writer
in the London Telegraph. He has em-
bodied his experiences as a mastroquet
in a book entitled: “En Plein Fau-
bourg,” which has lately been pub-
lished 'by Charpentier. M. Leyret,
after having denounced the bad drink
supplied to the working classes—not
always through the fault of the public-
ans, but, rather, due to the wholesale
'merchants—gives it as his opinion that
those who live by the sweat of their
brow have an aversion to debt. The
bad payers and those who want drinks;
chalkedup are the exception, and it is
needless to say that they are the Iidlers,
the loafers and the confirmed drunk-
ards. These men neglect no opportu-
nity of sponging or of obtaining drink
on credit, without the least intention
of paying for the absinthe or wine sup-
plied to themp As 'a rule the laborious
people avoid the taverns wherein the
loafers assemble. The author also al-
ludes to a discussion on ‘Zola which he
overheard. One of his customers,while
gazing at a portrait of the novelist,
maintained that the working classes
had been libeled in the “Assommoir.”
“Is the workman,” asked the anti-
Zolaist, “to be represented as an eter-
nal drunkard because he drinks a glass
now and then?” The listeners ap-
plauded this speech, but another man
stood up for Zola, saying that if the
novelist had exaggerated a little it was
done in the interest of the working
classes, whose vices were 'to be attrib—
uted to the bourgeoisie.
M. Leyret met a confirmed absinthe
drinker of a curious type. This man
was one of the best carpenters in the
district, and when sober was never out
of work. For weeks he would refrain
from touching a glass of the green
fairy, but, suddenly forgetting his good
resolutions, would launch forth into a
carouse on his favorite beverage, never
going to bed until he had swallo’wed
twenty-four glasses of absinthe, with
copious draughts of wine in between.
The author notes that the average
faubaurien workman is generally
more given to eating than drinking.
He eats meat, if possible, at luncheon
and dinner, the former meal being the
more substantial. He is careless
about the future, and looks forward to
dying straight off when he shall be no
longer strong enough to toil.
Alluding to the pleasures of the peo-
ple, M. Leyret is glad to state that
Beranger’s songs have not yet lost their
charm for the toiling masses. As to
the relations of the cxcs. the author of
“En Plein Faubourg" says that free
unions are increasing among the work-
ers, domestic arrangements being
made on a family basis. The girls who
leave their shops and factories for the
Champs Elysees or the main . boule-
vards are, however. shunned and de-
spised by the faubouricns. M. Leyret
concludes his interesting volume by
some observations on the feeling of the
working classes toward the anarchist
and revolutionist movements in their
midst. At present, he points out, ma-
terial exigencies and the necessity of
living keep the average workman re-
signed, but a desire of revenge lurks in
his breast against a society in which he
has to toil without the hope of what he
considers an adequate reward for his
services, and without any security that
after a life Of labor he will enjoy some
repose with a moderate competency.

CANNONS OF STONE.
Defenses of the Fortress of Malta Cut Out
‘ of tho"Living Rock.
The most wonderful cannons on
record are those which are described
by Byrdone, whose travels in Sicily and
Malta won well-deserved renown
toward the ,end of the last. century.
Many facts and stories he recountslthat,
seem strangely old-world to us,
though the date is little more than one
hundred yearsago, so grandly did the
French revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full of wonders, more or
less droll, while the knights held it,
. but nothing equaled the stone guns.
Everybody knows that the fortifica-
tions were cut out of solid rock, but
Brydone was right in saying that a
kind of ordnance used to defend them
was unknOwn to all the world besides.
As we understand his description, the
knights left a. great block of stone
where they hollowed out an embrasure
1' in _ the clifl, which. afterward they
. shaped and; bored in the form of a
, gigantic msirtar-
. mine-:1. .1 a. ' Thole
.arrelfi‘ of g powder. .
‘These engines con-'
---
r That shoveled in, they plugged it with
a great piece Of wood, fitted exactly to
the IbOre, as a wedding, and loaded up
with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials. ‘
About fifty 'of these remarkable guns
commanded the' spots which a hostile
. ship was most likely to approach.
“The mouths of some are six feet
wide, and they are able to throw ten
thousand pounds’ weight of balls or
stones.” The range is not stated, but
the falling projectilescovered an area
of over three hundred square yards.
"""—_""" I
DOOM OF THE CONSPIRATORS.
Sconos at the Trial 3'! the Assassins of
. President Lincoln. '
The courtroom in which were tried
in May, 1865, the eight conspirators ar-
raigned for being concerned in the plot
against the lives of the heads of the
government was a place of fascinating
and perhaps morbid interest, writes
Noah Brooks in Century, but it was
finally opened to those who could pro-
cure passes from the president of the
court. The room in which the trial was
held is a part of the great United States
arsenal establishment,
which is the penitentiary in which the
conspirators were confined. It is on
the banks of the Potomac, in the sub-
urbs of the city. Entering an old-
fashioned brick‘ building, one was
shown into a large, bare room on the
ground floor, where sat a couple of
staff oflicers receiving the credentials
of those who applied for admission.
They sent these up to the court, where
an officer inspected them, and returned
them, if satisfactory, with the desired
card of admission.
A narrow flight of stairs brought the
visitor to a. small chamber in the second
story, where a lot of lorderlies were
lounging about, and an officer inspect-
ed one’s pass. After another flight of
stairs, another inspection of the pass
permitted one to enter the courtroom,
which was in the third story. It was
an apartment about twenty-five feet
wide and thirty feet long, the entrance
being at the end opposite the peniten-
tiary. Looking up the room one saw
that it was divided lengthwise into two
parts, the portion on the right being
occupied by the court, sitting around a
long, green-covered table, Gen. Hunter
at one end and Judge Advocate General
Holt with his assistants at the other.
The part of the room which was not
occupied by the court was railed off,
and was taken up with a few seats for
reporters and spectators generally, who
were crowded confusedly about, and
rested as best they could against the
bare, whitewashed walls of the room.
At the farther end of the apartment
was a wooden railing, behind which, 'on
a narrow, raised platform, sat the ac-
cused men, all in a solemn row, with
an armed soldier sitting between every
two persons. At the left-hand corner
behind them was a. heavy iron door
opening into the corridor along which
were the cells of the prisoners. Each
one Of the accused was manacled hand
and foot. and sat grimly against the
wall, facing the court and the wit-
nesses, the witness-stand being a raised
box in the center of the room.
The appearance and demeanor of the
court, it must be admitted, were neither
solemn nor impressive.- The members
of the commission sat about in various
negligent attitudes, and a general ap-
pearance of disorder was evident. Many
ladies were present, and their irre-
pressible whispering was a continual
nuisance to the reporters, who desired
to keep track of the evidence. The
witnesses were first examined by the
judge—advocate, the members of the
court putting in a question now and
then, and the counsel for the prisoners
taking up the cross-examination, each
counsellor attending only to the wit-
ness whose testimony affected his own
client. The witnesses were brought in
without regard to any particular crim-
inal, all being tried at once. Occa-
sionally an attorney for one prisoner
would “develop” the witness under ex-
amination in such a manner as to injure
the cause of another of the defendants,
and then a petty quarrel would ensue
between the different counsel.
A Romance of the Peerage.
In a very interesting article, “The
Wives of Eminent Statesmen,” in the
Woman at Home, we read of a romance
connected with. the marriage of the
present marquis land marchioness of
Salisbury. A judge’s daughter was not
considered a sufficient match for the
son of a marquis. The late Lord Salis-
bury tried to prevent the match, but as
his son, then Lord Robert Cecil, was
persistent, he so’ far relented as to
make terms. These were that Lord
Robert should undertake not to see or
communicate with Miss Alderson for
an entire year. The young lover stood
the test, and at the close of the year he
obtained his father’s consent; but the
marquis, while continuing 'his allow-
ance of six hundred pounds a year, de~
clined to increase it. So runs the
story; and it has been said that the ne-
cessity of doing something for his own
support may have assisted to develop
the noble lord’s talent.
W. H. Kelley, of Phillips, Me., is the
tallest man in the state. His height is
six feet ten inches, and he weighs 200
pounds. He rides a bicycle expressly
made for him, because of the length of
his legs.

The Damage at llIount Clemens.
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May 27.-—The
