HORRIBLY MURDER BY A POLICEMAN.

Billoir, whose notorious 1911 e caused • sensation four
years ago, ham found an imitator among the police. nuts-
day morning a woman named Levy, in waking alone
the Boulevard de la Chapelle, observed a man in a bloom,
with waxed moustaches, emptying out of a basket pieces
of what appeared to her to be fresh meat, and kicking
them into a sewer. When be observed that her curiosity
was aroused, he took to night, throwing down the basket
She approached the sewers mouth when, perceiving •
human arm, she fainted A crowd immediately gathered,
and • commissary of police WU fetched. The pieces were
collected and put together by • surgeon, who pronounced
the contents of the basket to be • human corpse. The
head aloes of all the members was miming. An inquiry
was set on foot, and the woman Levy was sent for by the
commissary. On entering his office she knocked
sexiest an agent in uniform, which led her to turn
round to look at him in order to apologise. She suddenly
cried out, "There's the aMliimia" The persons
who were with her thought her mad from onto-
lion, but were astounded when she repeated the
accumtion, to me the policeman grow pete, tremble,
and rush out of the room. He was arrseted on the Maks
and brought back, when, falling on lls knees., he avowed
the crime. The murdered man was • traveller for a
Paris jeweller, and had several boxes of jewels which he
was to have taken to the 111011 sa specimens. The
murderer, one Provost, Mee led him, under the pretext
of wanting to buy a watrh chain, to his lodgings. There
he offered him a glue of wine, and while the two were
hobnobbing suddenly struck him with • hammer on the
forehead and killed him instantaneously. He proceeded to
cut up the body on the spot, and next morning he went
to the La Chapelle sewer to hide the evidences of the
murder. It was his intention by boiling the head to
render identification impossible The jewels found in
Provost's rooms were not worth more than twelve pounds.
This man had been a Cent Garde, and being remarkably
fine-losking used to be posted at the door of the Throne
Room. He has been ton yaws in the police, which
he entered under If. Pieta.

expresso& are not calculated to restore cordiality to the

of the Oloanist Soleil das just had with the states-
man at Bodes, the Prince said he had always deprecated

Bismark honoured hint Whatever Government existed

relations with "certain Powers." As to his Interviewer's

woofs of late years. It was of this utmost importabos
that she should bold the place in Europe to which she had
so many titles—important both for haraelf and al other
nations; for the abdication of Prance would be treason
against civilisation. Prince Blarnark's feelings on pann-

Gesegge contains • rioket article discussing the
question of the existence or extinction of the power
of England in Central Asia, The paper warns its
readers against accepting what it terms the treacherous
dictum of the Gales that it is necessary for England to
conquer Afghanistan. " EngLuid," proceeds the GiLesis,
"ham always been the deadly enemy of Russ* whose
policy in Asia can only consist of reprisals against
England. It is neoessary to expel the British from
Central Asia, and this can now be done by sending
23,000 Russian troops to defend Afghanistan. A
timely interference on the part of Ruda must decide
the question of the existence of England's might in that
region, and now it is the favourable moment to free
Russia's eastern frontier for ever from danger an "ha

SIR LOUIS CAVAGNARL

The World says :-84 Louis Cavagneri was one of those
few men created hi Nature to make their mark in the
world's history. Utterly nu-English in his aspect, his
manner, his style of thought and his character of action,
he recalled the continental diplatiste of the mores age.
It has been generally assumed at Peshawar for years back
that it was only a question of time when Cavagnari
should be asnednated, as had been Macireeon, flaodonald,
and so many others who had been his predecessors in the
perilous (urinating career of frontier management A
alight min, of rather feeble physique, but with an eye
like a two-edged sword. he never carried arms, differing
In this from John Nicolaon, who always had a pistol on
his writing-table : and when, at an interview, a hillman
or an Afghan waxed truculent, took ore to secure the
first trick in the game. Caves-marl (writes a correepon•
dent) although he never loses his temper, can, on
occasion, hit wonderfully straight from his shoulder. I
remember once riding with him to an appointment he had
with some Al ridges to settle some vexed land question. I
remained on the road while h-, alone, in the centre of
about • dozen stalwart ruffians armed to the eyebrows,
walked round the field. Presently the loud angry
acetate of a dispute reached my ears. The Afridess were
surrounding Cavagnari. gesticulating with passionate
vehemence, some with hands on heir daggers. Cavagnari
stood quiet. perfectly fearless, utterly impassive Sad.
denly I maw the biggest of the Al ridees go down like
• bullock. and Cavagnari, with unrufffed composure,
returning his hand into his pocket He had knocked the
ruffian down, and the swift thoroughness of the act cowed
the fierce Wilmot. About half way on the return journey
Cavagnari rernarkst apologetically.—" It was absolutely
necessary. Meet don t think I lost my temper; I was
perfectly cool; but I was forced to maintain my
ascendancy :" and then he added meditatively, "and I
wanted also to gave my life."

TUESDAY, IWIOO

18, 1879.

France begins to compete with Dorset in dairy pro-
duce. Not many days ago fifty tons of costly cargo
supplemented the forty passengers by the South of Ire-
land to Weymouth. Among the merchandise was
plenty of French wine; but Normandy sent—into our
dairy county, too—butter, eggs, and cream cheese.
Shall we in Dorset cry out for Protection and Recipro-
city, or beat the foreigner out of our markets by hon.
ourable competition and better goods?

No! It wun't disappointment that made South
Dorset severe on the sptgot•saving, bunghole-wastini
Government. Our Uhlans ought to have an outing
practice at that vidette service which every Inspecting
officer tells them they AM best for; but, as for Weymouth,
she has made up her mind that, instead of waiting for
the Yeomanry to come in May, the "season" shall begin
right away, yea, even in March. Let us hope the tst.
of April will not be found a more appropriate date.

The Mayor of Dorchester hu been exercised about
something in the pamphlet—" Is India worth keeping?"
What! want to know is—How soon may we expect an-
other brochure—"ls New Zealand worth keepuigr
Also whether this will be followed by similar queries
respecting Australia, The Cape, Natal, Ireland, and
Wales.

Mus Lillian and cleanliness, or Christianity and drunk.
enness,—this was something like the choice Mr. Pearce,
of Lincoln's Inn, propounded for India. But it is
against drunkenness and filth that true Christians make
War, or ought to, by their precepts and lives. The
thouthtful and eloquent young barrister hasframed a
tremendous indictment against Christianity, as he has
heard of it; let us hope he'll think better of his fellow-
countrymen—l wiU not say of the religion, because
that is above reproach. Philosophers may subtly in-
sinuate—
