Tex last scientifie toy we (Baader) hear of from
America is in the shape of some cigar-holders made of
paper and quill, each showing • blank medallion, on
which, however, a photograph is developed in • few
mnmenta when the holder is used for It. intended
purpose. It apnearx from experiment that the ammonia
of the smoke is the developing agent, bat the exact
nature of the action has not yet been explained.
Tex trial of 11. de Girardin for his article in the Lawrie
attacking the Government has concluded. The court
allowed that there were extenuating circumstances, and
M. its Girardin was fined 5.000 f. No imprisonment
was ordered. The printer of the paper was ordered to
pay • fine of 1001. The trial crested great interest in
Parts, and it is said that much sympathy has been
shown for IL do Girardin. He has appealed against the
decision.

TIMM has fresh trouble.. The insurrection in
Themly appears to be a most serious affeir. Acoording
to a Martellles telegram, a report bad reached Constan•
tinople of • serious engagement on the Plain of Oda. in
which the Turks were defeated with a loss of 300 men.
The insurgents had entrenched themselves. The some
telegram wens that the Porte has I .many agreed to
the concessions to Berrie, and that fresh conceesiona
will be made to Egypt.

M lOUs MUSD.* Ti PARIS.— Ais old lady.
named Rorie, 78 peers of age, was found with her throat
cat in • smell room, in whish she kept wood end wale,
at 21, Rue des Sept-Voles, near the Pantheon. Her
apartment had been robbed, and a gold watch and chain
with other property were mining. The pia*. where the
body wee found is at the end of • long and dark nemesis;

lying near. The teneierge of the house had remarked,
about 9 o', lock on the previous evening, a strange men
descend the 'gateau, end beaten from the house.

Brisson Soicron.—Tbe body of • gentleman was
found near the Pork of Mont:aeon which proves to be the
Marquis de Vnillefroy, brother of the Senator of that
name. The Deice mentions • curious particularity of
the ease. It says :—" A t first the @apposition was that
• mime bad been committed, but • mope minute exam-
ination seems to demonstrate that death resulted from
suicide. One of the principal drcumstanoes which
corroborate this last hypothesis is that the Marquis
habitually wore • Biala eye, which he had taken out
and put in his waistcoat pocket. He then plooed the
barrel of the pistol in the vacant socket and blew out
his brains."

Rouen MAIM—A painful event hay just recurred at
Murvine (Moselle). The mob had performed the funeral
ceremony over the body of a Madame Jean, who had
died the previous night at the ego of Tl, and the men
had partially illei up the grave, when all at once they
heard • dull wend, apparently arieing from the width.
They fetched at once the person who lived nearest the
cemetery. and he in his turn heard the same noise. The
mayor was sent for and gave orders for the exhumation.
The coffin was opened and the body was found to be
warm hut no other sign of life was to be perceived. A
usedical examinstion Iced the moment of actual decease
at the time at which the exhumation was being made.
Tin Emperor Theodore of Abyssinia is both a
capricious and paradoxical monarch. He draws • wide
distinction between Captain Cameron end Mr. Remain—
between tbe earlier and the later prisoners. The former
are close prisoners in the fortress of Magdala • the latter
are merely under surveillance. Although they are all
fettered, none of them seem to be treated with speeiel
severity. There is good reason to hope that the day is
not far distant when, whatever may be the individual
pleasure of Theodore, they will be restored to liberty.
The Tina of India states that the Atremiaith tyrant
has met with great reverses, that his army has been
reduced to one-fourth its former proportions, and that
his autnority is now only reeognised in one or two
Province.. It is even thought that Mr. Inad's
messenger had been unable to communicate with thelling.
There am two claimants to the throne, one of whom
has made himself master of the province of Tigre, while
the other 'imports a hereditary right. It is evident that
the Abyssinian kingdom is crumbling to pieces, and
that if the 'Viceroy of Egypt is disposed to revive his
traditional claim to the sovereignty of that country his
opportunity has at length arrived.
Mulnue or Dn. Liwthowrows—Dr. Kirk, the former
companion of Dr. Livingstone, and at present vice-ooniail
at Zaosider, has wheeled a letter to the amistant
secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, conveying
Pio melancholy intelliegenee of the murder of the dis-
tinguished African traviller, Dr. Livingstone. The
communication, which I. dsted Leather, Dec. 26. 1886.
states:—" On the sth of Deeembp nine Johanna men
of the party which accompanied Dr. Livingstone came to

was not long in producing Ito effect. Reduced almost to
starvation, and debarred IN in the eoeiety of his wife and

such a state of things. One evening he presented
himself at the house of the *bid who again commenced
to reproach him with his past life. A trarrrl arose.
Suddenly Voitot drew • digger from his pocket, and
inflicted several wounds on this modol pastor. The

tively 15 and 19, attracted by the noise, entered the
room, sod were immediately set upon by Voitot •nel

work of revenge by stabbing M. and Rams. Routhier,

attempted suicide by stabbing himself with the same
weapon. Of the above victims of this fearful tragedy

Voitot. who in described as an intelligent, inoffensive-
looking young man, tried throughout the trial. He said
he committed the crimes in • moment of madness. The
jury found him guilty, but with egtenuating circurn-

FENIANINII 10 New YOng.—The news of Fenian
disorders in Ireland comes just in time to save the
schemes of thc swindling leaders in New York. by
creating a new diversion of pennies and paper currency
from the email hoards of the Irish sermant-maids to the
pockets of the Irish "patriots." Surely there is no limit
to Irish gullibility. Not a month has pulled since
Stephens was approved an Impostor; yet the majority
of Irishmen here are ready ti swear that the
"rebellion"--as they dnscribe the inconsiderable shindy
in Ferry—is the result of the machinations of the
sagacious "Head Centre," and that that individual in
person leads the insurgents. Stephens was, at last
accounts, living in clover in a handsome hones in
Brooklyn, finding solace for hi. "misfortune." in the
companionship of hi. mistress, the contemplation of a
poeket-bnok, and the demolition of the hest
dinners the metrovolis has to offer for money. There
is every reason to believe that the distinguished pariot
depend, wholly upon the New York morning news-
tapers for information of the doings in Ireland, and
that nothing is further from his intention than • leaping
into the gulf. If one needed any proof that the
"movement" in Ireland has been entirely without
emoperation on this side, we might end it in the
evident bewilderment of the Fenian leaders. Having
enddenly become highly excited they have re-
sorted to the inevitable "public demonstration.,"
" meetings of sympathisers," ka They have opened
" reuniting oases," awl have really enlisted seversl
hundred men. They are daily issuing terrible "Pro-
clamations" and "general orders." As soon no the news
of the mysterious operations of "Colonel O'Conor" was
received, certain green flogs, the properties of the Irish
Republic of Union-equate, were thrown to the breeze in
Ohatham-streek and other low portions of the town;
bands of ragamuffins tramped through our streets to
the squeaking of fifes and the thumping of drums. the
newsboys began to sell little bite of green paper,
illootreted with • yellow harp, and our daily newspapers.
with one exception, to talk learnedly of the " general
Uprising of the Irish people," and the probable " down-
fall of English authority is Ireland." Our Canadian

American channels; they ue, however taking some
