BY JULIAN A. SELBI The Budget of Public Assistance in Paris spends $6,000,000 annually in giving aid to the sick, the poor, ana to foundlings. Estimates for {he current year have bee? made for 855,000 needy persons 26,000 abandoned children, and for main? taining 20,000 beds in the hospitals. The revenue for this purpose is de? rived from legacies, tax on the undertakers, pawnbrokers, and upon the theatrical managers; who pay a heavy duty levied on their receipts. The city makes up tho remainder from municipal budget. From Poverty to "Wealth.?W. S. O'Brien, of San Francisco, whose immense riches were so suddenly acquired in "Bonanza" speculations, is a son of Wetmore O'Brien, a respectable citizen of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He ar? rived at the mines with but fifteen cents in his pocket and worked as a laborer, taking mining stock in payment of wages in lieu of money, which he could not get. His fortune is estimated at $250,000,000. Gov. Chamberlain has been in? vited by the faculty and students of the law department of Yale College to deliver the annual oration. To be thus selected to deliver the oration before the law school of Yale is a high honor, which has recently been accorded to Hon. Win. M. Evarts, Hon. Jos. Choate, Hon. H. B. Harrison, and last year by Hon. Edwarn Pierre po'nt. '*Uncle John" Robinson, the old showman, who is on the track for the Cincinnati Mayoralty, is made of suoh tough material as Scotch and Dutch blood. He started ont in life as a sailor, but his ship was wrecked almost before she got out of sight. of land, which induced John to stick to iewa ?rma, where he has been ever' since, and has made.a million dollars in the cir? cus business. Nice Gloves.-?There are some people at Port Colborne, Canada, who think they can make a "kid glove" from a catfish's skin, and the factory will be open this spring. Paris has been making kid gloves from rat skins for a long time, and everybody is satisfied with the pro* duct if it only bears the requisite trade-mark. The leathery integu? ment of the catfish is said to be equally available for the purpose. The Brooklyn trial was com? menced with the intention of de? monstrating whether Bescher fre? quented Mrs. Tilton's apartments or not. Somehow or other the track has been jumped, and the effort now seems to be that of re? futing Beecher's indiscretion by demonstrating that Ti^ton frequent? ed the boudour of Victoria Wood hull in his stocking feet. The Congressional resolution permitting Mr. Fitch to accept the Khedive's (present to his wife, did not release the duty charges, $17, 500. So the diamonds will remain in custody, until another Congress shall remit the duty, or until some? body can hand over to the custom? house the necessary cash. A T. Stewart is worth $40,000, 000, and he has no son to squan? der it, or daughter to marry it away. He seems to be one of the few men who are lucky in every respect.
