How Girls are Bought and Sold in MjiT riago in France. You know how strictly JM?tfrrijgirls aro guarded in Franco, mujieiwiho eyes of their . parents, and howj&mplelely their personal i " independencejs^aerificed to "propriety" and their parcn^Mvill.' A gentleman'who lately vis\y?cWi matrimonial ofliee in this city, with/i view of obtaining an insight into the opejtftions of the system, gives some ir.terest1?g details in regard to it. Tho world, it appears, lias in general a 0false idea of these establishments, at least ol - . ~ this one. It is generally believed that tho chief.of the establishment keeps under key a battalion of ladies that are made to tort ? around under tho eyes of the visitor, who islands in tho position of tho Sultan readv to "'- i., thrOw the handkerchief. Sonm suppose that ibcy arc permitted lo see the Indies whe t : wish to marry through a kc3'-holo or some oilier from of unsuspected bull's-eye. On t . r the contrary, nothing is more simple than this establishment, and at the same lime nothing is more complicated than its wheelwork. The women have little to do in these operations, nearly all tlio business being accomplished between men. In tlio conjugal comedy, of which the chief of the establishment is the manager, the women play theit part without knowing it. Thus he has cor respondents in all the large towns. lie is in relation with all, or nearly all, the notaries in France, who keep him advised of the different heiresses whoso afiairs they manage. The Chief arranges 'and he pretend? that he is the only man in France who can say, approximative!}-, each year, the united * wealth of thn hf>iri-s?sf"5 < >f ll?n A gentleman whishes to get innrriud. Ho is a lawyer, nn agent or a merchant, lie presents himself to the chief of the matrimonial establishment, whodemauds first to know what arc his pretensions. After this visit the first duty of tho agent is to seek information on the character; and position of the candidate, and if these are satisfactory, be appoints a new rendezvous and proposes to his client different ladie?. (The ladies, you will recollect, all this time ignorant that they are the objcct of a speculation.) When the parties come to terms, tho matrimonial agents puts in ("operation a plan to bring the gentleman and lady together, and he arrives at this result naturally, without the la dy ever suspecting that she is a puppet moved by a thread iu the hands of a matrimonial agent. If the heiress lives in the proviuce, the agent address a letter to his correspondent, who can always find a means of bringing these two unknown individuals into each -other's presence. A soiree, a ball, an accidental meeting at the house of a 'third.parly, there are many occasions of uniting those two stars destined to shine in the same firmanient. Once in presence of tho object, the | rest is the gentleman's own business ; he must put his talent to play. If the fish bites1 it is ngain the time for the agent to 6tep in.

Editor: Please give tlie following lines a place in your columns for the benefit of the community at large. This growing 1 evil is the practice of slaveholders allowing their servants to hire, their own lime at an 1 enormous price, afld the servants to pay up monthly or quaterly. Now, Mr. Jiditor, the 1 evil arising from this practice is enormous. In the first place those servants hired in this way, have their wages to pay up. Tlio next consideration, is, where does the monpy come from with which they pay up? I think it is very doubtful whether it is always made honestly. 1 am very certain of this much, that those hired in this way are very often out of employment. I am also very certain that is not a very uncommon thing to hear a farmers' wife say that she had a very beautiful lot of poultiy a few dnys back, and that frequently we hear the farmers inquire of each other if they have seen any of their shoats. The answer, is very often, No Sir, I J have not seen them, but there are some of 1 mine also gone. And nines times out of ten 1 they are gone whrc the owner never hears or sees mum ngaiii. I do not pretend to say that such hired ' servants do all the evil that is done in this ' way, but I do say that there are" very strong temptations for theni to help themselves in : this way ; I also say thai they are worse than tho free negroes, for they have their hire to pay. The free negro, if he gets his victuals and a.few ragged clothes, is relieved of pressing obligations; the others have their hire to pay let the money come whence it : may. Now, Mr. Editor, as another year is at its : close, I will raise a warning voice to those , who have been in the habit of permitting their servants to hire their time, and assure 1 them that if they persist in making other ! people's poultry <fce., pav their servants hire. I will make them help to support the law: yers, if there is-any law, as I think there is, I nghiiist such hiring.? Winniboro1 Register. -? ?-<> i The United States Invited to Become one of tho "Powers." ; The Journal.dj?& of December II 23, reviews at great length the last annual message of President l'ierce, and takes oct easion to examine our political situation. " The Journal says in conclusion: It would be advantageous for all the world that the American Union, the iiiflu, cnce of which upon the definitive decisions o j of the European Cabinets is not to be con5 j tested, should enter in an official and avow ed manner into the concert of the great J Powers; n^,it is a great Christian Power, i whoso affairs cannot be separated any long; - er from those of Europe.
