COBRESPOUDENCE FROM PARIS.

(Front our, Ow conEcsroNDEYr.)

PARIS. WEDNESDAY, April 28.

A tragedy with more than the usual admixture of
Parisian horror is just reported from the Rue St. Antoine.
A workman, aged 23, residing in that quarter, had been
on terms of intimacy with a young woman named
ChSmence, of the same neighbourhood, but in con-
sequence of her violent and jealous disposition
had recently broken off the connection. She several times
since endeavoured to induce him to return, but finding
him firm in his resolution to remain away she laid wait
for him two days back with a bottle of sulphuric acid.
On his coming up she dashed the whole of the corrosive
liquid in his face and eyes. Then going home, she com-
mitted suicide by lighting two pans of charcoal in her
room. The man was horribly burnt and disfigured, and
was removed to the hospital in extreme agony.
The array of horrors, indeed, is heavy again to-day.
An Algerian trial has just resulted in a verdict of
"extenuating circumstances" in the case of a murder of a boy
by his father, without the slightest apparent provocation.
The lad was found in a field with nine wounds inflicted
by a knife. The father attempted to throw the odium
upon some Arabs, but was convicted by the evidence of
his younger son, a child of seven, who witnessed the deed.
Where were the extenuating circumstances in this in-
stance? That a Frenchman should escape with his
life after committing a crime of this nature,
whilst several Arabs have been recently executed for
what may be called " ordinary murders," has not an
impartial aspect. An even worse story has been revealed
at the Dordogne Assize Court. A man was put on trial
for the murder of a joiner with whom his wife had been on
toointimate terms. The disclosures made in this case are
something exceptional. It appears that the husband,
Delpech, had informed his wife before their marriage that
if she became a mother by a rich man who was
paying her some not very honourable attentions,
and could get a tolerably round sum of money
from her lover, he would marry her. The young
woman acted upon this advice, and Delpech struck a
bargain with the wealthy man by which he received about
£l5O to marry the girl. She, seeing her husband set
such little store by all ordinary feelings of honour, thought
there could be no objection to her going astrayagain. She
accordingly contracted the intimacy with the joiner.
But Delpech, though ready to sell himself for a
mess of pottage, did not believe in selling himself for
nothing. lie shot the joiner.
A pleasant evening was spent last Sunday by several
people who went to enjoy the marvellous prospect from
the top of the Arc de Triomphe. They got up and gazed
upon the splended array of streets radiating like a
star from the arch, and enjoyed themselves, no doubt,
thoroughly. Unfortunately, they were locked in. It
was late in the evening, and the keepers thought that
everybody had gone. In vain the prisoners knocked and
kicked at the door leading up to the winding staircase.
After raising a din which ought, one would think, to have
attracted attention, they gave up the struggle, and returning
to the top of the monument, spent the night upon the
stones. They would have a good view of Paris by star-
light; but people may have too much xsthetic enjoyment.
The prisoners, however, bad the satisfaction of a small
revenge the next morning. The man who opened the door
was horribly frightened at the sight of several ghostly
spectres at the foot of the steps.

ALLEGED FRAUDS IN LIFE ASSURANCE

A case of disputed claim on a policy of life insurance,
effected with the Prudential Assurance Company,
Ludgate-hill, London, was heard at Liverpool on Tuesday,
The plaintiff was a woman named Ellen Grimshaw, of
Liverpool, who claimed Lid 16s. for a policy effected on
her mother-in-law's life. It appeared from the evidence
that the deceased was really 71, though she
had been represented as 60. The company
had discovered the misstatement but had offered
to pay the amount that would have been due had the age
been rightly given, which would have amounted to £2l
12s. The case was very much involved owing to family
ditutes on the part of the plaintiff, which had prevented
the obtaining of necessary signatures, and to the transfei
of the policy from the Royal Liver Society, in which it.
was originally effected, to the Prudential. Mr. Harden:.
in pronouncing julgment, censured both parties for the,
careless manner in which the affair had beer
conducted, and ordeied the company to pay £24 into court,
that being the sum to which the plaintiff would hay .:
been entitled had she kept up the original insurance.

THE "OWL."

The Prince and Princess of Wiles will arrive at Marl-
borough House on May 10th.
Sir Thomas Western will be the new Lord-Lieutenant
of Essex.

Mr. Gladstone will probably abandon that portion of
the 27th Clause of the Irish Church Bill which provides
that ecclesiastical residences may be banded over to the
representative body on payment of, twelve times the
annual value of the site.

It is confidently expected that before the end of the
year Enfield will turn out one thousand a week of the
Martini-Henry rifle complete. The first two hundred will
be hand-made, the second lot of eight hundred will be
made with the first machinery, or rather machine tools or
cutters, that can be got ready. Both the hand-made and
machine-made (interchangeable) arms will thus have a
fair trial before the troops are generally supplied with the
new weapon, about the superiority of which there does
not appear to exist a doubt in well-informed quarters.
The amount of the bankruptcy fund which it is pro.
posed to transfer to the Chancellor of the Exchequer was,
last October, £1,193,128. It consists of unclaimed divi-
dends, &c. The Bankruptcy Bill now before Parliament
contains a provision by which all unclaimed dividends after
five years shall be transferred to the Treasury. It is
believed that provision will be made for the capitalisation of
retiring pensions and annuities and subject them to existing
charges. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will from the
Court of Bankruptcy alone receive an enormous sum,
which will leave him a large margin to deal, or rather to
play with,in future Budgets.
In foreign matters the Owl announces that the
recent meetings of the Franco-Belgian Conference
have been extremely conciliatory, and that there
is hope that Spain will acknowledge the error of
the Cuban authorities in seizing the American stip
Mary Lowell in British waters.

THE COMIC PAPERS.

(From. Punch.)

AN EXTRA OPERA KNIGHT.—Sir Michael Costa.
Too FAST.—What is "an improved driving clock ?" Is
it a companion to a hunting watch?
The Rev. Benjamin Speke is going to be married, they
say. Is it to be a run-away match ?
CAUGHT NAPPING.—The sleepy habits of same of the
members make it certain that there is one kind of hat
seldom seen in the House—the Wide-awaket

SOMETHING WRONG.—The seasons, we are often told,
are changing and interfering with each other, but now the
months are also getting into confusion, " May Meetings"
being openly held in April.
A WONDERFUL FEAT IN HIGH ART FOR LOWS.—
(Subject for a grand cartoon in the Salle des Pas Perdue
of the New Law Courts.) As a Pendant to Samson carry-
ing off the Gates of Gaza —Bob Lowe with Inigo Jones's
front upon his hack
Too VAGUE.—At the last meeting of the Geographical
Society a paper was read giving an account of a " Journey
through the Afar Country." There are so many countries
which are " afar" interesting to geographers, that a rather
more precise indication of the particular region meant
might, perhaps, have been desirable.
