The complexity of modern civiliz;t

volumes, will remetuuec the famous
stock-jobbing mania which raged in
Paris under thi. inspiration of the
Scotch projector and financier, John
Law. During the mania the great
scene of operations was the Rue
Quinquempoix. The business was by
law confined to that spot, whither
multitudes of mei and women of all
ranks and conditions floc:aed to buy
shares in Law's bank and Mississippi

worthless. rose to twenty times their
original price.

Since Law's day Paris has been

One of the out-of-the-way modes of
getting a living in London is that prac
ticed by the wine-tasters of the Lon
don docks. These persons, who are
snpposed io have palates of exquisite
delicacy, with much knowledge of
rwines, hang about the docks, where
they are hired by both. dealer and
buyers to accompany them to the
vaults and give their opinions of the
various wines submitted to them for
examination. Though they carefully
avoid swallowing the wine they taste,
yet their calling slowly saps their
heith, and they become at an early
age physical wrecks. The sensations
which they experience in sampling the
wines are of the most delicate and
subtle nature: it was one of these men
who detected the flavor of iron in a
pipe of wine into which a shingle nail
