DIZADFDL TRAGBDT II YliliLt. The Vienna
correspondent of the Standard gives particulars of •
dreadful tragedy which has taken place there :—Pasqua
is the name of the perpetrator of the frightful deed.
For • long time he Lad been out of employment, and
though promised oompation he obtained none. Starve.
lion woo before him, and the otter hopelessness of
providing for his wife and children made him resolve ,
to take their lives ani his own. The wife, who has
survived the effects of the poison, gives the fol.
axiount of what took place :—Her husband
retained home in the evening me •clt.e ful than usual,
saying, •• You like punch, dear Emily. We have ,
endured enough till now, and today we will be merry."
go then prepared the van* which he had brought
home gill, him, and thew all eat round the table to '
enjoy it—his wife, himself, and the two boys, limed
and Francis, the former eight, the latter ten yeas old.
The children went to bed, and the mother remained in
the room with her baby, eight months old. "Hardly
bed I been some minutes in the baby's room," so
,1 relates the mother, "when I beard a choking noise in
that ono where my boys were. On einta,ing I my
I foam round the mouth of the younger. I asked him
1 what ailed him. My husband thereuponansweied,
'There Is nothing the matter.' However, I went to
the child's bed, and say husband etelaimed in • strange
voice, ' Don't trouble yourself—it is too late, he mast
die r Thinking it was • joke, I answered, 'Do not
utter such nonsense.' But be, with • dre•dful serious-
ness, said, ' It is all over with them and with us too.'
Sly husband then took up a glue filled with beer, in
which was the poison, and said to me, 'Emily will you
die with me? Full of fright, I ezelsimed, 'Do not
say such things.' On which he said, 'Yes, my wife,
I cannot live longer. I have being deceived long
enough—die with me.' I replied, 'No, I will not—
will not endanger my souL' and while I spoke, he
took up the glass, put it to his mouth, and drank it.
I had my little baby on my arm, which hindered my
movements, still, I tried to knock Um glass out of his
hand, but could not. I saw my dead huaband and dead
children b. fore me, and what happened after that I do
not know.' When the people of the house heard the
woman's cry they hastenel to the MOM. The father
lay with one foot on the bed and the other banging
from it. He toast have sank bask while in the act of
untressing. Beside him lay his elder boy, who had
evidently died without a piing. On another bed way
the younger son, whom death struggle the mother had
heard. He too, had quitted this life without pain.
Pasqua seems to have planned his deed sometime
beforehand. His widow reinembers to have seen her
husband bring home a bottle and topcoat it earefally in
a drawer.

0011041111111 II THIS FRISCH EXHIBITION.— A. Paris
correspondent stetee that crowds assemble in one of the
condo to see the last new invention in the weir of a
cravat pin. "The toy is amusing enough. Every.
body has seen bow bells are rung in all the new hotels
in Paris, London, and New York. Instead of palling
the bell end making it ring by an eiertion of mechanical
force, we press a small button in the wall; this is
tonneotod by an electric wire with a Mlle alarm, the
shipper of which keep. on jingling no long as the button is
proceed. Lift the hand from the button and the alarm
ceases. This rinciple • French jeweller has adopted
to cravat pins. The knob of the pin loot various
Ids/vices. It is a hare with a tabor, ore drummer with
his drum, or • death's' bead with • loose under jaw, or •
dog. Whoever chooses to wear such • pin has
connected with it by a wire • small electric battery in
one of hi. pockets. He puts biz hands into his pocket,
touches abettor, there, and off goes the pia. The hare
begin. to patter on the tabor, the drummer to beat on
his drum, the death's head to chatter and roll its horrid
eyes, or the dog to bark and snap. When the hand is
lifted from the button, instantly all is quiet. In the
British department is another toy that draws great
crowds, and moat be somewhat of a burthen to its
posesaor. I wish to say nothing in disparagement of
Mr. Harry Emanuel, whose show both of the most
soce'ly and of the cheipest jewellery is, indeed, worthy
of mark. But. perhaps, he has discovered by this time
that his swan can do him no good, but must attract
attention from bin real merits, which are great. People
rub and strut) to see this swan. an in 1862 they cru.hed
to hear the piping bullfinch. When we approached the
bird we see him floating, as it were, in water, and
resting his head behind his wings. He is wound up, I
and he begins to raise his head with all the proper
motions of the swan, he curves his neck in pride, he
espies some fish in the water before him, be lowers
his bead to seize one, he bolds it in his beak for al
instant, be then swallows it, and, last of all, returns
gracefully to rest. The action is very pretty, tad calls
forth loud apples's. But it is not Mr. Harry
Emanuel's invention. The bird is indeed very old,
though his plumage may be new. Its mechanism was
supposed to have been constructed by a Mr. Weekes,
who lived in the reign of George 111., but it was lately
discovered that it formed part of the museum of Mr.
Cox, a jeweller, who lived in the reign of George 11.,
and whose collection must have been of some importance
as he obtained an Act of Parliament to enable him to
dispose of it by lottery. Yr. Harry Emanuel has put
the clockwork meobsniun in order, and has given the
bird a new and beautiful silver plumage, but eh'. is all
he has had to do with the invention of the to,, which
proves so attractive to the multitude, and which seems
to eclipse all else in its neighbourhood.

liEf.lCll-LOADINC FIZZ-ARNE ACCIDENT TO LOID
BUIT.—An assideut oeseried to Lied Bury on Monday,
while trying a rifie at the Kilburn range. Tbe followieg
is his own account as extracted from • letter oddment
lip a near relation :—"I was trying • rile, eonverted
to a beeesh.loader by Mr. Geo. Prince, at the Kilburn
WC% Yesterday. I had fired about eighty rounds,
prior let precision, and partly for rapidity, with very
result, when Mr. Prince, finding his own mamma-
proposed to me to try another ride, I
he varied on his own prinsiple, to take the
&net' eertrMpg. At the very first shot the rifle
exploded at the breech, blowing away the covering of
the breech, and twisting the internal works. I found
myself suddenly on the ground, blesdina profnaelr, and i
with the cartilage of my nose broken. Providentially
my eye escaped, bet • considerable qtuultity of powder
was blown into my face. A doctor who was sent for soon
, put me sufficiently to rights to go home. I have kept
the cartridge end the part of the breads that was blown
backwards. I was not well esougb to examine %i rides
but from the appearance of the eortridge It 1s evident
that the primary rouse of the accident is the bursting of
the metal base of the cartridge. I have ksown several
instanoes in which cartridges with metal bees. bare
made dangerous explosions at the breech, sod as this is
the cartridge on which many thousend pounds of
Government money hive been expended, I think It at
least worthy of inquiry whether the accident which so
nearly provei fatal to me is likely to recur or not before
they arc served out to our troops. I intend to send the
burst cartridge and the rig. to the War-office for exami-
nation. I like Prince's principle with his own
ammunition ; but not with the Boxer cartridge."
