nom a letter-wrlter at COnstantinopie, hting ths
Doth of last month:
"It was said yesterday that Gen. CaxOser,h,i

Here. again. Kornileff or Menchikoa, whoever
the Governor is, may blow himself up TO the very

Imprisonment of q conductor and staton-maser
on the Orleans road. The accident, for which
they are held accountable, was one of those where
we should not dream Of attaching more than tran
sient newspaper blame to these officers. Another
excel, Mt quality of Justice in this and similar
cases. in rance is its promptitude. The acct
dent in question occurred less than a month ago.
French Justice Furnishes criminal carelessness as
, well as criminal intention. The consequence IL,
that railroad accidents, although not rare IN
France, are triilibg in number and extent COM
pared TO such occurrences with us. Another case
in court the past week will be as strange TO Amer
leans as the above though certainly not presenting
equally commendabe points ofimtation. NJ Roger
de Beauvor begs the Court to forbid the rehearsal
at the Fariet6s of piece written by Madame de
Beauvoir although she and Roger are and long had
been legally eparated-separated, but not d.
vorccd. and hence Roger stands upon his night as
husband to prevent his wife from becoming dra-
matte author or rather from writing for the stages
for the French Courts do not pretend to interfere
with the purely literary occupations of mans
wife. but they have frequently decided that wife
shall not become dramatic artistic without tho

claims that the meaning of the law includes tho
dramatic author whose piece attans the publicity

cisioH was that the rehearsals should go on-leay-

Here are two police ordinances, respectfully
addressed TO the consideration of tender-hearted

that calves shall be carried to the slaughter
houses OF anywhere else through the streets,
only in standing posture. The second orders
that after six months from date, Nov. ii } Az
proprietors or managers of establls hments where
steam-enenes are used shall burn their smoke, or
in default of doing that, shall employ coke for
their fires.
To close the French lesson-:tas est doeeri-I
note the imperial decree which forbids the em-
