A SOLDIER STABBED BY A LUNATIC.—A tragical
incident occurred a day or two since in the gardens
of the Luxembourg. A private of the 58th Regiment of
the Line was walking in one of the avenues when a stranger
suddenly: rushed forward, and without any provocation
stabbed him with a knife in the abdomen. The assailant
was arrested, and proved to. be a clerk of the Paris octroi,
but on his being interrogated he was at once found to be
bereft of his reason. He was consequently placed in con-
finement. The soldier had in the meantime been removed
to the Charite Hospital, and although his wound is serious
there are hopes of his recovery.
THREATENED LOCK-OUT OF COTTON OPERATIVES.
—A general lock-out of mill operatives is now pend-
ing at Chorley. It appears that during the period of dis-
tress the wages of the strippers and grinders were sub-
jected to a reduction of 6d. and Is. from what was pre-
viously paid, and that recently they were restored to the
former amount. The operatives, however, who were in
receipt of 15s. per week, asked for a further advance of ss.
The 'nesters, rather than accede to such a request, decided
at a meeting held on Monday to lock up their mills, but
gave the men time to consider their decision. On Wed-
nesday the operatives agreed to forego Os., and held out
for an advance of 2s. per head per week; the result of which
is, that general notice was given by the master spinners on
Thursday to the effect that they would lock up their mills
14 days from date, if the demand was not withdrawn.—

FROM AMERICA 70 EUROPE IN A WEEK.—It is
stated that a company of the leading shipowners
of New York have under consideration plans for
building four magnificent vessels of 8,000 tons each, to be
propelled by engines of 2,500 horse-power, working two
paddle-wheels, of the usual kind, and two screw propeller:
—so that, in case of derangement of either set of
machinery, the other sot shall continue working without
material impediment in the speed of the vessel. These
vessels are capable of carrying 2,500 passengers at the
variable fares of 25, 50, and 75 dols., according to the
amount of accommodation required, between that city and
Bristol, England. Meals are to be furnished on board the
same as at any restaurant, and passengers can either eat
or let it alone, as it may please them. The passage to
Europe, it is believed, at eighteen miles an hour, will be
made in seven days, while the great length of the vessels
(nearly 600 feet) will overreach or materially control the
waves, and prevent that terrible pitching motion that is

ANOTHER OF 'WOMAN'S RIGHTS.—Last evening
(4th of August) a young woman named Minnie Phalen, 20
years of age, residing in East Williamsburgh, entered the
furnishing store of 31r. Gustave Baer, and assaulted him
with a cowhide. M 7. Baer resisted her vigorous castiga-
tion, and took up a stick in self-defence. A young gentle-
man named James nrrest, who resides in Now York, and
who was in the young lady's company, then seized Baer,
while Minnie bolaboared him with the cowhide. In this
emergency Mr. Baer called out lustily, "Watch !" " Mul-
der!" when Officer Walsh, of the Forty-Fifth Precinct, was
attracted to the spot and interfered. Miss Phalan states,
in explanation of her conduct, that she visited Baer's store
early on Monday =caning to purchase some articles, and
that after the articles were put up the storekeeper charged
her more than she had agreed to pay ; she thereupon re-
fused to take the purchase and demanded back her money,
which demand was refused by the man Baer, who called
her, she alleges, names which did not belong to her—hence
the cowhiding.—Neto York Times.

On the Wolds the crop is thin and
is turning out exceedingly well ; there are some very good
deal is discoloured. Leading has been
general this week. Oats in the south are yielding well, but
are below the average in the north. Beans vary, but on the
whole are a fair crop. Peas have been housed in poor con-
dition. The heavy rains have caused a great improvement
of the pasture; and both mangold and turnips are looking
much better.

EXECUTION IN iRELAND.--At 25 minutes past 11
o'clock on Wednesday morning Thomas Hayes was
hanged at Tullarnore, for the murder of his wife, Anne
Hayes, on the 22d May last. The culprit was an old man,
who lived at Gairos Bog, in tho King's County, with his
victim, whom he was in the habit of ill-treating. At last
his wife disappeared, and no ono knew what became of her
for some time,
America Hayes himself stating that she had gone to
with her cousin and brother, who had taken her
away on a car on the morning of the bloody deed. Suspi-
cion, however, being excited, ho was lodged in gaol, and
there he confessed that he had murdered her ; packed the
body, and all else belonging to his late wife into a sack and
a bedtick, and had carried them to a part of the bog a con-
siderable distance off, and buried them so cleverly that if
he had not been brought to the spot it is doubtful whether
they would ever have been found. The murder had evi-
dently been committed with a smoothing-iron, but Hayes
gave a somewhat more extenuating account of the trans-
action. He appeared to have lived a wretchedly immoral
life, if all bald of him be true. At the trial it was attempted
to be set up as a defence that he was insane, but it failed,
and the murderer has expiated his crime on the gallows.
He was attended by three Roman catholic priests, appeared
penitent, and delivered a short address, which could not be
heard. There were only about 300 persons present, and
these were most orderly in their conduct.—Saunders' News
Letter.

GENERAL GRANT ON TUE MEXICAN QUESTION.--
A special despatch to the 7'oronto Globe, dated Quebec,
Aug. 7, says :—" While here Gen. Grant spoke without re-
serve to several persons on the Mexican question. He said
that he had placed 100,000 men on the Rio Grande as an
army of observation, and that the French would have to
leave Mexico peaceably, if they choose, but forcibly if re-
fused. The situation of Mexico he looked upon as one
which had been created by the rebellion, and the rebellion
would really not be overcome until Maximilian was com-
pelled to depart, and the Mexican people allowed to orga-
nise a Government without foreign interference. With
complication. ensued by reason of Eng-
regard to the relations between the United States and Eng-
land, he did not think th e present friendly state would be

Alnl-sniiAri
prisoners CArr Ein Abyssinia, in order to
s.--
The relatives of the
IT
unfortunate
strengthen the probability of their release from the painful
s
captivity in which they have lingered nearly two years,
have determined to avail themselves of the offer made ori-
ginally:to her Majesty's Government by Dr. Boko, the Abys-
sinian traveller, that he should go with presents to the
Court of the Emperor Theodore, and supplicate for their
liberation in the name of their distressed families; and
they now appeal to Christian sympathy to assist them in
raising a sum of not less than £2,000, which is absolutely
required to carry out this beneNolent purpose. This move-
ment is not independent in its action, and its object is to a
provide against possible failme, which might cause an-
other year's imprisonment of tae captives, and even prove
fatal to their lives. Letters from Abyssinia to May 30
state, " Condition unaltered." Should this appeal be gene-
rously responded to, Dr. Bek4 proposes to leave England
by the and of September. _ _
