STRANGE STORT.—The Siecle contains the following
strange story :—" As long ago as 1835 a wine dealer,
named Hubert, residing in the hanlieue, was fined for
having wino on his premises which he had not duly de-
clared. Determined on not meeting with a similar an-
noyance in future, he resolved on making a hiding-place
for his stock, the secret of which should not be known
even to Isis wife. To effect his purpose he was accus-
tomed every night to get up and work at a clandestine
cellar, when at length he disappeared, and all the re-
searches made by his family to discover him were una-
yailing. Years passed over, and his wife, finding at
length that she could not carry on the business properly
by herself, sold the stock and goodwill and retired.
Her successor lately decided on enlarging his house
by taking in a part of the garden, when the men
employed in digging out the foundation suddenly
came on an opening, in which they found the ske-
leton of a man, and near it a pickaxe eaten up by
rust. The commissary of police, on being sent for,
examined the spot, and found that from the place where
the skeleton was discovered there was a narrow passage
through which the cellar of the wine dealer could be
reached. This fact brought to the recollection of the
commissary the sudden disappearance of Hubert, who,
it is supposed, while working at his secret cellar, must
ratdenly have come upon some old well or vault, into
which he had fallen, and from which ho could not re-
lease himself, and had there died.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A BRITISH OFFICIAL.—A
letter frOin Jeddah of June 4, in the Independance
Beige, says :—" An attempt was made some days ago to
assassinate the representative of her Britannic Majesty.
Fortunately for this agent, he had staying with him on
that day an English captain, who perceived the assassin
at tho moment ha was on the point of stabbing the c:)i—
mul, who was sleeping in his saloon. The captain, with
the assistance of his host, succeeded in disarming th)
anatpin, who YIN then handed over to the pelice.',!
