i.
At Paris, just after dark one gusty
evening in the autumn of 18—, I was
enjoying the twofold luxury of medita
tion and a meerschaum, in company
with my friend C. Auguste Dupin, in
his little back library, or book closet,
an troisieme, No. 88, Rue Dunot, Fau
bourg St. tiermain. For one hour at
least we had maintained a profound
silence; while each, to any casual ob
server, might have seemed intently and
exclusively occupied with the curling
eddies of smuke that oppressed the at:
mosphere ofthe chamber. For Ynyself;
however, I was mentally discussing cer
tain topics which had formed malty for
conversation between us at an earlier
period of the evening; 1 mean the affair
of the Hue Morgue, and the mystery at
tending the murder of Marie Roget. 1
looked upon it; therefore, as something
of a coincidence, when the door of our
apartment was thrown open and admit
ted : our old acquaintance, Monsieur
0 , the Prefect of the Parisian police.
We gave him a hearty welcome; for
there was nearly half as much of the
entertaining as of the contemptible
aliont the man, anti we had not seen
him for several 3’ears. We had been sit
ting in the dark, and Dupin how arose
for the purpose of lighting a lamp, but
sat down pgaim without doing so, upon
O.’s saying that he had called to consult
us, or rather to ask the opinion of my
friend, about some official business
which had occasioned a great deal of
trouble.
!‘lf it is any point requiring reflec
tion," observed Dupin, as he forebore to
enkindle the wick, “we shall examine
It to better purpose In the dark.”
"That Is another of your odd notions,”
said the Prefect, who had a fashion of
calling everything “odd” that was be
yond his comprehension, and thus lived
amid an absolute legion of “oddities.”
“Very true," said Dupin, as he sup
plied his visitor with a pipe, and rolled
towards him a comfortable chair.
“And what is the difficulty now?" I
asked. “Nothing more in the assassin
ation way I hope?"
“Oh, no; nothing of that nature. The
fact Is, the business is very simple in
deed, and I make no doubt that wo can
nuflkge it sufficiently well ourselves;
but then 1 thought Dupin would like to
hear the details of it, beeause it is so ex
cessively odd'"
“Simple and odd," said Dupin,
“Why, yes; and not exactly that,
either. The fact is, we have all been a
good deal puSSled because the affair U
10 simple, afld yet baffles us altogether.”
“Perhaps it is the Very simplicity of
the thing which puts you at fault,” said
my fnend.
“What nonsense you do talk!” replied
the Prefect, laughing heartily.
"Perhaps the mystery is a little too
plain," said Dupin.
“Oh, good heavens! who ever heard of
tueh sn Idee?"
“A little too Mlf-evident."
“Hal ha! ha!—ha! ha! hal-ho! ho!
ho!" roared our Visitor, profoundly
amused, “oh, Dupin, you will he the
death of me yet!”
"And what, after all, Is the matter on
hand?” I asked.
“Why, I will tell you," replied the
Prefect, as he gave n long, steady, and
contemplative puff, and settled himself
in his chair. "I will tell you in a few
words; bat, before 1 begin, let me cau
tion you that this is an affair demand
ing the greatest secrecy, and that I
hhmild most probably lose the position
I now hold, were it known that I eon-
tided it to any one,"
"Proceed,” said I,
“Or not," said Dupin.
“Well, then; I have received personal
information, from a very high quarter,
that a certain document of the lost im
portance has been purloined from the
royal apartments. The Individual who
purloined it is known; this beyond a
doubt; he was seen to toko it. It is
known, also, that it still remains in his
possession."
“Jiow is this known?" asked Dupin.
“ft is etoarly inferred," replied the
Prefect, “from th* nature of the docu
ment. and from the non-appsarance of
certain results which would at oneo
arise front its passing out of the robber's
possession;—that is to say, from his em
ploying it as he must design in the end
to employ it.”
“Jiff a little more explicit," I said.
“Well, I may venture so far as to say
that the paper gives its imkler » certain
power In a certain quarter where (.mil*
power is immensely valuable." The
I’refect was fond of the cant of diplo
macy.
“Still I do not quite understand,"
Mid Dupin. t
“Nff? Wfllt the disclosure of the docu
ment to a third person, who shall be
nameless, would bring jn question the
honor of a personage of most exalted
station; and this fact gives the holder
of the document an ascendancy over the
illustrious personage whose honor and
peace are so jeopardised."
"■Hut this ascendancy," I interposed,
“would depend upon the robber's knowl
edge of the loser's knowledge of the
robber, Who would dare—"
“The thief," said G., “U tlto Minister
D , who dares all things, those uip
becoming as well as those becoming a
man. The method of the theft was not
less Ingenious than bold. The docu
ment in question—a letter, to be frank

a hurried and vain endeavor to thrust

the <umtents thus uriexposed, the letter

aci, in tnc presence ot the thirn per
sonage who "f lood at her elbow, The
Minister dei-amped, leaving his own
letter—one of no importance—upon the
table.”
“ Here, then," said Dupin to me,
“ you have precisely what you demand
to make the ascendency complete—the
robber's knowledge of the loser’s knowl
edge of the robber.”
“Yes,” replied the prefect: “and the
I power thus attained lias, for some
months past, lieen Wielded, for political
purposes, to a very dangerous extent.
The personage robbed js.mqre fchovflugh-
ly convinced, every day, of the necessity
of reclaiming her letter, liut tills, of
course, cannot lie done openly. In fine,
driven to despair, she has committed
the matter to me.”
Than whom.” said Dupin, amid a
perfect whirlwind of smoke, “no more
agaeions agent could. I suppose, be de
sired, or even imagined.”
“ Yon flatter, me.” replied the prefect:
“but it is possible that some such opinion
may have been entertained.”
It is clear.” said I. ■‘as you observe,
tiiat the letter is still in the possession
nf the: minister; sinue -it is this posses
sion, and not any employment of the
letter, which bestows the power. With
the employment the power departs.”
“True,” said U.; “and upon this con
viction I proceeded. My first Case was
to make thorough search of the minis
ter's hotel; and here my chief erabar-
raisment lay in the necessity of search
ing without his knowledge. Reyond
nil things, I have been warned of the
danger which would result from giv
ing him reason to suspect our de
sign.”
“But,” said I. “you are quite an fait
in these investigations. The Parisian
police have done this thing often be
fore.”
" Oil, yes ; and for this reason I did
not despair. The habits of the minister
gave me, too, a great advantage. He is
frequently absent from home all night,
Ills servants are by no means numerous.
They sleep at a distance from their
master's apartment, and, being chiefly
Neapolitans, are readily made drunk.
I have keys, as you know, with which
1 can open any ohambor or cabinet in
Paris. For three months a night has
not passed, during the greater part of
which I have not been engaged, per-
fonally, in ransacking the D Hotel.
My honor is interested, and, to men
tion a great secret; the reward is enor
mous. So I did not abandon the search
until I had become fully satisfied that
the thief is a more astute man than my
self. I fancy that I have investigated
every nook and corner of the premises
in which it is possible that the paper
can be concealed.”
“But Is it not possible,” I suggested,
“that although the letter may be in his
possession, as it unquestionably is, ho
may have concealed it elsewhere than
upon his own premises ?”
"This is barely possible,” said Dupin.
"The present peculiar condition of
affairs flt court, and especially of those
intrigues in which D—— is known to be
involved, would render the instant
availability bi the doouiderit—its sus
ceptibility of being produced at a mo
ment's notice—a point of nearly equal
importance with its possession.”
“ Its susceptibility of being pro
duced ?” said T.
"That is to say, of being destroyed,"
said Dupin,
"True,” I observed; “the paper is
clearly then upon the premises. As for
its being upon the person of the minis
ter, we may consider that as out of the
question.”
“Entirely." said the prefect. “He
has been twice waylaid, as if by foot
pads, and his person rigorously searched
under my own inspection.”
"You might have spared yourself this
trouble," sold Dupin. "D 1 presume,
is not altogether a fool, and, If not, must
have anticipated these waylayings, as a
matter of course."
"Not altogether a fool,” said G., "but
then he's a poet, which I take to be only
one remove from a fool,"
“True,” said Dupin, after a long and
thoughtful whiff from his meerschaum,
"although I have been guilty of certain
doggeral myself.”
“Suppose you detail,” said I, "the
particulars of your search. ”
"Why, the fact is, we took our time,
and wo searched everywhere. I have
had long experience in these affairs. I
took the entire building, room by room;
devoting the nights of a whole week to
eael). We examined, first, the furniture
of eaoli apartiqeqt. We opened every
drawer; and I presume you know that,
to a properly trained police agent, such
a thing as a secret drawer is impossible.
Any man is a dolt who permits a
‘secret’ drawer to escape him in a search
of this kind. The thing U so plain.
There is a certain amount of bulk—of
space—to bo accounted for in every cab
inet. Then 3yq have accurate rules.
The fiftieth part of a line could not es
cape us. After the cabinets we took the
chairs.' The cushions we probed with
the fine long needles you have seen mo
employ, From the tobies we removed
the top*-"
“Why so?"
“Sometimes the top of a table, Or
other similarly arranged piece of furni
ture, is removed by the person wishing
to conceal an article; then the leg is ex
cavated, the article deposited within the
cavity, and the top replaced. The bot
toms and tops of bed-posts are employed
in the same way.”
“But could not the cavity be detected
by sounding?” 1 asked-
“By no means, if, when the article is
deposited, sufficient wadding of cotton
be placed around it- Besides, in our
case, we were obliged to proceed with
out noise,"
“But you could not have removed—
you could not have taken to pieces all
articles of furniture In which it would
have been possible to make a deposit in
the manner you mention. A letter may
be compressed into a thin spiral roll, not
differing much in shape or bulk from a
largo knitting-needle; and in this form
it might be inserted into the rung of a
»b*it, for example. You did not toka
to pieces jftl the chairs?"
“Certainly not; but we didb'ttcr—
we examined the rungs of every chair
in the 1 tel. and. indeed, the jointings
of every description of furniture, by the
aid of a most powerful microscope. Hod
there boon any traces of reoent’ dtstm b-
unco we should nut liuve failed to detect
it instantly. A single grain of gimlet-
iff
’• '• r- r (• •
vious as an apple. Any disorder ip the
glueing—aiiy unusual gaping in the
joints—would have sufficed to insure de
tection.”
“1 presume you looked to the mirrors,
between the boards and the pfates, and
you probed the beds and the bed-clothes,
as well as the eurtaihs and carpets."’
j“That of course; and when we had
absolutely completed every particle of
tlie furniture in this way, then we ex
amined the house itself. Wcdivided its
entire surface into compartments, which
we numbered, so thilt none might lie
missed; then we scrutinized each indi
vidual square ipeh throughout the
premises, including the two houses im
mediately adjoining, with the micro
scope, as before.”
“The two houses adjoining!” I ex
claimed; “yon must have had a great
deni of trouble.”
“We hud; but the reward offered is
prodigious.”
“You include the grounds about the
houses?” , -
"All the grounds are paved with
brick. They gave us comparatively lit
tle trouble. We examined the moss
between the bricks, and found it undis-
turbed.” , , . , .
“You looked among D 's papers, of
course, and into tko books of the
library?”
“Certainly; : We opened every package
and parcel; we not only opened every
book, but we turned over every leaf in
eack volume, not contenting oureelves
with a mere shake, according to the
fashion of some of our police officers.
We also measured the thickness of tfovy
book-cover, with the most accurate ad
measurement,. and applied to eacli the
nost jealous ■scrutiny of the microscope.
11 ad any of the bindings been recently
meddled with.it would have been Ut
terly impossible tbns the fact should
have escaped observation. Some five
or six volumes, just from the hands of
the binder, we carefully probed longi
tudinally, with the needles.”
“You explored the floors beneath the
carpets?”
“Beyond doubt. We removed every
carpet, and examined the boards with
the microscope."
“And the paper on the walls?”
“Yes.”
“You looked into the cellars?”
“ We did.”
“Then,” I said, “you have been
naking a miscalculation, and the letter
is not upon the premises, as you sup
pose.”
“ I fear you are right there,” said the
prefect. “ And now, Dupin, what
would you advise me to do ?"
" To make a thorough re-seareh of the
premises.”
"That is absolutely needless," re
plied G—. " I am not more sure that
I breathe than I am that the letter Is at
the hotel."
" I have no better advice to give you,"
said Dupin. "You have, of course, an
accurate description of the letter ?"
"Oh yes!"—And hero the prefept.
producing a memorandum book, pro
ceeded to read aloud a minute account
of the internal, and especially of the ex
ternal appearance of the missing docu
ment. Soon after finishing the perusal
of this description, ho took his depar
ture, more entirely depressed in spirits
than I had ever known the good gentle
man before,
tt
In about( a month afterwards he paid
Us another visit, and found us occupied
Very nearly ns before. He took a pipe
and a chair 1 and entered into some ordi
nary eortversattciri. At length I wild—-
" Welli but G-—, what of the pur
loined letter? I presurtie you have at
last made up your mind that there is no
such thing as overreaching the minis
ter?”
“Confound him, say I—yes; I made
the re-examination, however, os Dupin
suggested—but it was all labor lost, as I
knew it would be.”
“ How much was the reward offered,
did you say?” asked Dupin.
" Why, a very great deal—a very lib
eral reward—I don't like to say how
much, precisely; but one thing I will
say, that I wouldn't mind giving my in
dividual check for fifty thousand francs
to any one who could obtain mo that
letter. The fact is, it is becoming ol
more and more importance every day :
and the reward has been lately doubled.
If it were trebled, however, I could do
no more than I have doiw,”
" Why, yes," said Dapln, drawlingly,
between the whiffs of his meerschaum.
“I really—think, G , you have not
exerted yourself—to the utmost in this
blatter. You might—do a little more,
I think, eh?”
“ How?—in whht way?"
“Why—puff, puff—you might—puff,
puff—employ counsel in the matter, eh?
—puff, puff, puff. Do you remember
the story they tell of Abernethy?"
" No; hang Abernethy?”
“ To be sure! hang him and welcome.
But once upon n time, a certain Tieh
miser conceived the design of sponging
upon this Abernethy for a medical opin
ion. (letting up, for this purpose, an
ordinary conversation in a private com
pany, lie insinuated his case to the
physician, as tiiat of an imaginary indi
vidual.
" ‘ We will suppose,' said the miser,
1 that his symptoms are such and such;
now, doctor, what would you have
directed him to take.’ ”
" 1 Take!' said Abernethy, ‘ why, take
advice, to be sure.' ”
!! Hut,” said the prefect, a little dis
composed, "I am perfectly willing to
take advice, and to pay for It. I would
really give fifty thousand francs to any
one who would aid mo in the matter.”
“ In that ease,” replied Dupin, open
ing It drawer, and producing a check
btedi) "YOU May as Well flu Me up a
check for the amount mentioned.
When you have signed it. I will hand
you the U ‘,er,"
I was astonished. The prefect ap
peared absolutely thui-.derstricken. For
some minutes he remained speechless
and motionless, looking incraduloush

functionary grasped It In a perfect
ngony of joy, opened it with a tremb

contents, and then, scrambling and
struggling to the door, rushed nt length
unceremoniously from the room and

The Civilisation of -Kurope. -
I see tiiat Professor petrie in his latest
work advances the theory that Europe
is oot indebted to Egypt for its civiliza
tion. The discovery has b< i rather late
coming on tiio part of tW’areliieoIogist.
I liavo long maintained that Egypf bor
rowed fully as much of her civilizxtion
from Europe as did Europe from Egypt.
European civilization was really an in
dependent growth. Egypt and Baby
lonia borrowed fully as much as they
loaned. This European civilization ac
quired acts independently, just as India
did.
More than 1,500 years before the dawn
of the Christian era civilization had
made considerable progress in Greece
and Lybia. A century later witnessed
great proficiency in the arts. Moreover
this civilization was not confined to a
corner of Enrojie, but stretched from
the Mediterranean to the frozen north
Egypt and Babylonia did not civilize
Greece and Italy. Greece and Italy did
not civilize the rest of Euro|ie. They
only ranked for a time as the farthest
advanced in civilization. It was an in
digenous development. At last the
archseologists are stumbling onto this
fact, long patent to the careful student,
and the knowledge appears to surprise
them wonderfully.—St. Louis Globe-

Bringing Out Receptions.
The fashion of bringing out it girl by
means of an evening reception instead ol
an afternoon tea seems to be gaining
ground, It has the merit of being more
distinctive at all events, ns there are not
many houses in New York that could
stand the crush of an evening affair if
the invitations wereas general us those
for a tea.
Where a tea is given for the purpose of
introducing a debutante to society, it is
becoming an unwritten law that those ol
her friends who have been Invited to re
ceive with her should remain afterward
either to dinner or (as was done very
fljccassfnlly in the case of one young
lady lately) for a sit down supper a

her friends to consider this and to wear
less conspicuous gowns themselves.—

Tho Value of a Pension.
Some of tho hardships resulting from
Hie fall of tho rupee to persons with

tho other hand, seem to be due quite ps
much to red tape as to tho condition of

Also they knew then What member was
there, or the social standing of the vis

A few small knockers still linger in
Varick and Vnndam streets and similar
localities, hut nobody seems to use them.
The bell may show advanced civiliza

An Ancient Work on Angling.
The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is said to be the Halieutica of
Opplan, a Greek poet, who flourished in
the time of Severn a, A. D., 198, from
which we learn that piany artifices in
fishing thought to be modern were known
to the ancients. We also learn from
Atheneus that several other writers had
written treatises or poems on fishing
some centuries before the ChrUtlMl era
