thick stick for the purpose and even sohe.ines

In the evening of the Goth March last ne retulneu
from his work and sat quietly down TO supperi
when all at once his wife, VINO Wa lying o 'ne
in a state of intoxication, jumped up anu sha'o
his food from him. This led to quarrel, ana after
awhile tbc man was heard to exclaim-"Ah! you
have got the stick! - EYES," said she, Il nave,
and If the same moment she struck hlm a tremen-
dous blow on the head, which felled him 10 the
ground. After a while he got up, and managed to
get to a neighbours, but two days after ne had 10
take to his bed and died. The jury declared the
woman guilty, and the court sentenced her TO IL

THE QUEEN HoLLAND.-The Queen of Holland
arrived in Paris on the 18th. Her Majesty is the
second daughter of the King of Wurtemburg, and
was married to the King of Holland in 1889. Her
mother was Catharine Paulowna, daughter of Paul
l., Emperor of Russia. She is the niece OF PRINCE
Jerome, and Fcousin of the Emperor Napoleon Ill
and the Princess Mathilde, with both of whom she
is on terms Of intimate friendship. Nothing says
the Paris correspondent of the Ecpress) has been
said of the motives for her Majesty present vistto
France, but as the court of Holland is known to be
exceedingly intimate with that of Russia 1t Will be
inevitable that political reasons should be attributed
to the journey, more particularly as the queen mas
She will stay in France about a month, and will
accompany their Majesties to Fontainbleau, where
they are soon going.
PLAYING AT JUsrIcE.-At Maestrcht, few days
ago, a man was hanged, in virtue of a sentence OF
the Criminal Court, for the murder of child. The
scafold was erected in front of the Town Hail. and
the prisoner was made to walk to it from the prls

was lower than the other; but string was attached
to it to cause it to become straight the moment the
drop fell. By some mismanagement, however,
probably by the shock being too violent, the scale
instead of rising to level, was jerked down. The
people seemed disappointed at the failure of this
puerie symbol of the accomplishment of justice.
THE SMALLPOX IN BERLIN.-The President of the
Public Police at Berlin has published address to
the inhabitants of that capital, calling their atten-
ton to the necessity of having their children vacc
mated, and also the re-vaccination to those who
have already been operated on. In support of his
advice, the President states that in the course OF
last month los children who had not been vaccina
ted having been attacked with smallpox, 80 of them
died; while out of IS children who had been vacci
mated and were also attacked by the same disease
only one died. As further proof of the advan.
tage OF vaccination and re-vaccnation, he states
that last year only IS of smallpox prevailed
in the army, although that disease then very
prevalent.
AN AByssINIAN EMBAssY.-Letters from Alexan-
dria, of April 49, mention the arrival there of ambas
sailors from a sovereign little known to fame, but
who, it appears, desires to become famous-Theo-
dOre king of Gonda. This prince, who perhaps is a
descendant of Rasseas rules the most mpor-
tant kingdom of Abyssinia and carries on it is said
considerable trade with Egypt and Europe by way
of the Red Sea. His envoys have had a private au-
dience with the Viceroy of Egypt. Several repre-
sentatives of foreign powers at Alexandria have
called upon them. 1t is reported that King Theo-
dore intends to send extraordinary embassies to
France and England this summer.
A GRAVE AFFAIR,-A rich manufacturer named
Oppelt, died about fifteen years since at Reichen-
berg, in Austria, and vault was built by his widow
and children in the cemetery for the reception of
the body. The widow died about month ago. and
was taken TO the same tomb; but when it was
opened for that purpose the coffin of her husband
was found open and empty, and the skeleton of the
deceased discovered in a corner of the vault in a
sitting posture. A commission appointed by
the authorities to examine into the affair, when
they gave their opinion that NJ. Oppet was only in
trance when buried, and that on coming to life he
had forced open the coffin.
Loss OF A STEAMER AND 80 PERsoNs.-On the Sth
communication was received at Lloyd's from the
British consul at Jaila, describing the total loss of
the Egyptian steamer called the Suez; on the rocks
near that place, 30 persons, including the captain
a Frenchman, three English engineers, a fireman,
and the secretary of the company to which the
sci belonged, also Englishmen, being drowned.
Three Englishmen (Wiam Robinson, of Hull !;
Thomas Davis, of Liverpool; and John Pearson,
OF Wmtehaven) were among the saved.
SPLENDID AND ENORMOUS CHURCH.-A letter from
st. Petersburg says:-"Isaac's Church. in this city,
has just been completed, after 80 years. labor The
construction of this building has cost immense sums
as large quantities of gold, marble malachite, and
jasper have been employed in it. The frescoes are
from the pencils of Brun, Neff Basin and Steuben
The inauguration of the church will take place very
shortly, and on the occasion 900 singers will assist
in the service. The church can conveniently ac-
commodate 5000 persons"
THE CHURCH SrA1N.-A letter from Madrid
warns us that may look for stirring events in
Spain shortly. The Queen has taken G40,000, 900
sterling from her subjects and bestowed the enor-
nous amount upon church already rolling in
wealth, thereby hoping to purchase the fidelity of
the clergy; but the probability is that she will fail
in her object whilst she has stirred up such indg
nation among the people that it will be, difficult to
compress it within bounds.
The Honiteur of the 18th, states, that Turkey
threatens to invade Montenegro; that the French
Government, in order to prevent conflict, invited
England to cooperate; and that it has been decided
to send commissioners there to arrange difficulties
The article concludes by hoping that Austria and
Russia will join in the work Decentralization.
