The French Police I arrived in .Paris a. perfect stranger, and took ludgiugot at Mem-toes famous English hotel. flaring been shown to my apart moot, and male some change in my toilet, went out for a s:.ort stroll in the great and magniticeat city—that heart, as it were, of the world. 1 had some letters of intro duJtioa. but as I bad n.,t yet presented them, believed illyseif wavily dilkn.,wn to a living soul in I li..t inetropnlis—except,it might be, to the officers, who had read my passport ut,the gates, and the clerk who had seen me register my name—and that either should have filed that name in their recollection, was something that my modesty had not yet permitted me to take into consideration. Judge of my surprise. therefore, when 1 bad gone but a few steps from leurice's toward the beautiful p Once gardens nearly opposite, to hear myself addressed as fol lows: ••Will Monsieur !leery Neville have the kitninesa to answer a few important ques . tium?" turned to the speaker, and saw at a glancit he was a total stranger to me—and never. to my knowledge . , looked upon his face before. lla was a middle-aged mon, of rather, prepossessing appearlinee, with grey hair. eyebrows, and moustache, and was dressed as a plain substantial citizen. I will do myself the pleasure to oblige you," in a kind and courteous tone. "Permit me first to remark, however, that you have a little the alvantage of me in that you already know my name." "Monsieur will please know me OS Eu gene St„Medard." "Did we ever meet before?" "It is Monsieur that hue now become the questioner," rejoined the Frenchman, with a peculiar smile, and a kind of formal bow, half dii,uifted, half pAite, as if he would have sail the piestious were only to come, from his side. 9 tomboy , I felt ju.t n trifle vexed and nettled at the look and tone, end remarked, a little coldly: '•I take it for grunted one has the same right to interrogate as the other. The. Putures of the stroctiger grew grave as one who feels a little annoyed, and his reply Was impreiiive, Without being erectly stern. Neti r sieui will' be kind enough' to Waive his"right in this instance," he said. "it may; s*ea • u% betli some time and trouble." I seii•eely 'lttnisr why—tiethap, something in lank. tone and tnhnner-but the idea noa• suddenly oedurred'tu toe thit !Wei ipeaking to a man in authority—and I said. roapeet• fully: "Proceed, MOnaiatir SL Medard." "Thank - you, Mouireir. You' are an Engliobain?" ••I am." ' You are distantly Mama to the Earl of 3.141 van." "Sa distantly that hie . lordehip could never get near enough to knoW durfamily," I re plied, pletUantly, not a little atirprisedthet a French . stianger, "should know en much about me, and wonder all the While'to what reWtilt bie'queitiOrie might 14 tending. , ••Ynn were an only child?" "Yes." "You were left a small inheritance, which; you have lately converted into money nod' brought with you, thinking it not unlikely you might take a fancy to settle ou the Con tinent?" "A II true, Monsieur; but your knowledge of me and my private affairs astonishes me." "Let that pass. The family of hie ship. the Earl of Malvern, has been unfor-' tunate—no near of kin remain to Lim." "Two profligate sons of a deceased sister are the nearest, I believe." "They are both dead, Monsieur." "Dead!" exclaimed I, with a start, for this . was' news to me. "One died of heart disease in Germany— the other stabbed to death in Rome." "Are you sure?" "Certainly, Monsieur." "Good heavens! this astonishes me still more! I had not heard of this." "I know it:" "It seems to me you know everything!" said I. with a stare of wonder. Monsieur St. Medard smiled and contin ued: • ••Yow are now the heir presumptive, Mon sieur." "If what you tell me is_ true, I am!" ex claimed I. almost startled at the thought of being so near to an earld,nn —for the then lord was old and . feeble, and might drop ufl at any minute. "Do you know who is neat of kin after yourseli, Monsieur?" inquired .ny strange interrogator. I think I have heard it is ono William Byerly." ••Right. Da you know him?" "Sunething by racoon." "Personally?" "No." "Did report speak favorably of hirer "I am sorry to say it did not." "From what you heard, do you consider him an honest man!" "I do not." - "Ac you alone now eland between him and an earldom. after the present lord. would you consider your life cafe in his hantie4" "Before I answer this question, will you permit me to ask some two or three?' said • "Proceed. Monsieur." "Are you William Byerl3l' l "Are you related to him?" _ "No." "Do you intend to use my reply in a legal witA r yciur of ject in these queetions friend• ly to me?" Yes." "Then I will venture to say that I should net like under present circumAtances, to cruet my life in the hands of Win. Byerly, provided there was a single chance of hie escaping detection in case of willful murder." "Very well. May I proceed?' "Yes. \ton•ieur." — You will please answer to each state ment of mine as if a question were directly put. On your way to Dover, a fellow trav eler made your acquaintance?" ••Yes." ••Yuu first eaw bins at Tunbridge?" "Yes." ••You first noticed him while you were taking tlllO3O refreshments at a restaurant ?" "Yes." “Ile came up alongside of you, having a carper-bag in his hand, and made some comtnon-place remark about the wee they ?” "Yes," I continued to answer, getting more and more astoniabed every minute. What could it all mean? lied every ac tion of my life been noted ? and fur what purpose? lily strange interrogator pro ceeded "Tuis stranger was dressed in a blue coat, with bright metal buttons, nankeen trowsers, a buff rest, a parti-colored neck erchief, a white hat and black boots t" "Yes." '• After some common-place remark, he ventured I.) ask you which way you were traveling?" ..Yes." '•You replied that you were going to Paris?" ••Yes." "lie was delighted to bear it because be was going there also, and it was very pleas ant in a foreign country, to barna travel ing companion from one's native land? ••Yes." "On the whole, he made en faroreibie an impression upon your unsuspicious wind, that you ware quite pleased' to have his Corn pd ny." "Yes." •'Oo your situ to over, be gave you some account of his past life—of his trials, etrugiles. disaPPointweots and successes 1" "Yelo "He was an inventor—a magi of genius, who lived to benefit inaolciad and himself; England owed much to him, and so ii;d Fraser. nod so, in fact, did the whole world ?" . "His statements were to that erect." "Very well, .Monsieur, as I have shown you that I know the 'latent of your 4:unser : . sation. it is not necessary, that I should weary yon with detail. 7his.turus, this in. ventor..was going to Paris to take . out a t.atent f,r a new motive power—one the.

"All correct, Monsieur." "Now, most unfortunately, as it appeared, on reaching Dover, where you were to take the regular steam packet for'Calais, your new acquaintance, in some way unknown to you received the startling intelligence that his father was lying at the point of death, which would require him to post to London immediately, and would you, in whom he had every confidence, do him the favor to take charge of a small, box, con taining some important papers—and on your arrival in Paris, open it and deliver them to their nroper address ?" "Yes, Monsieur," said I, becoming most intensely interested. . "Curiosity, Monsieur," continued the Frenchman, "is not one of your failings, I am happy to say, or you might not now be living to hear what I have to reveal." . "Good heavens !" ejaculated I—what is coming now !" . ..That same Lox, Monsieur, is en infernal machine, intended to , destroy your life, the moment you opened it !" - "Gracious God !" I exclaimed, with a thrill of horror—"can this be possible?" "I will prove it. Get it, and come with me before a'Commissary of Police ?" "Pray, Monsieur, who are you ?" "A secret agent of Police." I hastened to get the box, handling it with great care, and together we proceeded to the nearest Commissary, when, with per mission, it was split open, and lo ! to my astonished and horrified gaze was revealed a row of small loaded pistols, so arranged that had I unlocked and opened the box in all ordinary way, they would have been di.chareed into my body. O my subsectitently asking for an expla nation concerning this mysterious affair— host so much, connected with myself and others, 1,0 l become kiniwit to the police of a foreign city—l was gravely but politely nosviered : ”It is not alleged us, Monsieur, to reveal our sources of infVrination. We are happy to have thwarted the Plans of a villain, and saved your life. I never knew who that villain way, th , tigh f always suspected Ityerly of hav ing a hand in it. Ido not know that toy life was ever again attempted—but certain it is I never again permitted intimacy from an unknown stranger. Oa my accession to the title and, estates, Nirbich occurred the following year, I did Nut forget to reward Eugene Sr. Medard, ali:.‘e Henri Pouget, Secret Agent of Police, as I t: ought ha deserved to be rewarded for the preservation of my life—and to this day I have not ceased to wonder over the per faction of the French system of police. A Spanish Cause Celebree Among the wealthiest and proudest in habitants of Barcelona, some twenty years ago, was the Marquis of Fontansllos. Ori ginally a banker, he had succeeded in amas sing an immense fortune, which ho invested chiefly in !snide! property, with the double purpose in view of securing his fonds and of gaining political interest. In 1834, after the demise of King Ferdinand, he was fore most in the ranks of those who joined the Queen-Regent arid the Estalato Real, whisk faithfulness was so well appreciated at Madrid that he was forthwith elevated to the peerage. When Barcelona was 'bom barded by order of the Regent Espatern. in 1843, the Marquis of Fontanelles lied be come so well informed of the movements of the royal troops that time was left for him to secure the whole of his personal property, and he conserinently eufferel little or no damage. He now became a warmer adher ent than ever of the Orostitutional Govern ment of Queen Isabella, to the extent of arousing the animosity of the friends of Don Carlos, who formed a very numerous and influential parry in Barcelona. In hie pride, however, the Marquis took no notice of the proceedings of his enemies. and mere ly handed the many threatening letters which he_received over to the Alealde pe danes. and day, in the spring of 184 i, the Marquis set out on a short journey to :--,stra grieve, in the company of his only eon, a young man of twenty-three, named Claudio, and of a few friends. When a little beyond the gates of the city, Claudio galloped ahead, intending to try the speed of his courser. and promising to be back in a few minutes. The Marquis with his servants rode on fur several leagues. but, not over taking his sun went back to Barcelona _in . great anxiety, leiving•eorna of his iollowers to continue the journey and to search the road in all directions. At' the request of the influential nobleteen,a. number of sol diers were despatched by the authorities, of the city from Fort Montjouy to easier, in the search; but, though prosecuting it in all di rections, they. as wellies theservanta. failed to discaver any traCe of the missing Claudio. The Marquis never saw his son agafit'•' , large reward was offered for the dis covery of the whereabouts of the young Senor of Fontanelles. S nme few thought that he had been kidnapped by one or more of the fatheerienerniei, out of revenge,• and to be held as hosterge for politienl purposes; while the geheral opinion.seemed to be that he was in the bands ur higlimeiyrne - n; tlien infesting the road from from Bareelonti. to Sarag The happy Iheriedi peninsula at' that time povseseed„ and to , a great ex;` test is mill Clawed; Witt; twin liaises of foie..

In the disturbed state of the ceto - try in 1845 thise two classes of cut-thrunis had become so powerful as to be beyond the reach of the ordinary police of the roads, the guardeias cioiles-nicknamed by the pe• pie the hyos de Luis Felipe, or sons of Louis Philippe, from being an imitation of , the French gendarmerie—and the Migue lites, or rural and provincial constables. The efforts of all these bodies having been fruitless in discovering the slightest trace of the heir of the Muse of Fontanelles, the unhappy father himself set out, in company of a large number of escopekros, on a jour ney of exploration in search of his eon. lie examined every nook and corner, highroad and byroad, of Catalonia; but all in vain, and after six months' inquiries, barren in all results, had to return to his lonely num siun in Barcelona. _Hero he laid himself down, and died of a broken heart soon after. The Marquis left no will, and his whole property fell to the share of his only surviving daughter and her husband, a hidalgo of am:tient lineage, but originally very limited means. The latter enjoyed his suddenly acquired riches to the fullest pos sible extent, scarcely disturbed in their possession by the death of his wife, which occurred at the end of a few years. Her memory and that of the mysterious disap pearance of her brother was ell but forgot ten, when, in the month of May. 1861, the mail steamer from South America threw anchor in the port of Barcelona, landing, among other passengers, a man of about forty, who instantly set out for the residence of the Marquis of Fontanelles. Entering the hall of the lordly mansion with it quick step, he announced himself as the lure.; hot Claudio, the heir of the house, and was at once rest ignized by the whole - of the The cries ofj. , y brought the owner of the mansion from his rooms; but he, bad nu sooner seen the stranger when he fell into his arms, acknowledging him to be Ili+ brother-in-law, and only sots ,of the Marquis et Fumanelles.

The whole story wonderfully appealed to the imagina tion and sympathy of the good people of Barcelona; and for full two months the new Marquis of, Fontanelles was the hero of the day. Arm in, arm with his brother-in-law. and always surrounded by a posses, of ,01,1 and new friends, he visited the theatres, concerts, and other places of public resort in the city, everywhere the observed of all observers. At last, tired of amusements, the Marquis bethought himself of business, and asked his brother-in-law to allow him I to inspect the accounts of the management of his fortune since the death of his father. The demand met with an excuse fir post ponement; and the day after the brother-in law set out, as be stated, on a short jour ney. 04/ the following night, astrongbody of police entered the hone° of the Marquis of Fontattellas..and, tying his hands, car ried him off to prison, under the warrant of a judge of the suburb of Barcelona, nccu sing him of being a perjurer arid impostor. The prisoner wns held in close confinement fur tee months, and then transferred to Va. tencia to be put on his trial. There we nobody to defend the pretended Don Claudio: nobody to speak a word in his furor; and all his own assertions of being the veritable sun and heir of the Marquie of nulls nellas were me by a. broad denial from the judge. coupled with invectives. After repeated protests/6:ms, a lawyer, a Senor Niera, was allowed to defend the accused, but his 41 '- Mg* instead of helping, only acce crated the ruin of Claudio. Senor Neira with..lre from the case before it was half over, in forming the court that them was nut sotri,- cient ground tor a defence; and the tritest's; thereupon at once pronounced judgement, condemning the amused to penal servitude fur life. Dun Claudio was thereupon hur ried off instantly to the hulks at Melilla. Notwithstanding the comparative secrecy with which the whole trial and examination of the prisoner bad been carried on. the matter made considerable noise in the east ern provinces of Spain, and got even to be talked of at the metropolis. By a sort. of accident, the particulars of the whole affair came to the knowledge of one of the most celebrated advocates of Madrid. Senor Navarro, who had no sooner looked through the documents which were laid before him, wheh he declared his conviction that a striking act of injustioe had been committed by a. nublic tribunal of the kingdom. As • first srep towards obtaining. a revered, Senor Navarro gathers I the whole of the facts together in a pamphlet, ',llia he laid beforeithe public. The little book madea.n enormous impression, urged by' which the Council of Advocates began by , putting Senor Niemen his trial, for not doing. his duty in defence nF Don Claudia. At the 'tame time a public subscription was made foe collecting a fund for an appeal m the supreme tribunal of. the kingduns; and its consequence of these efforts a new trial ass recently granted by the. 94ernacio.
