Tragic Love Meeting.


The denouement Of . singular little
drama of real life has Just reached us
from Berlin. It seems that AK years
ago a notary named Carl S., sud-
denly disappeared. For two months the
police were engaged IN searching for his
supposed assassin, but without effect,
and the investigations were about to
cease when the judge Of the district re-
ceived ore evening g letter to the fol-
lowing effect: #-slsfsf 80
y aHERR JUDcE-I have been assas-
sinated BY my debtor, Jean r., who,
after robbing me of the proofs OF the
debt, buried me ct the foot Of the north
wall of the park Of Count Won NJ,
TsignedJ aK1RLs-, Notary:
The Judge on the receipt Of this
strange letter caused search to be
made on the spot indicated; Re corpse
was found, the assassin seized, tried and
emeuted, after making full confession
of Bis crime. For six years all endeav-
ors to explain the mystery OF the letter
have remained without result
A week ago q gentleman Of good stand
ing at Berlin was married to rich and
beautiful young widow, the daughter Of
the Marquis. On the day following his
wedding, the bridegroom presented him.
self at the police Office and made q
declaration to the following effect:
six years ago was deeply in love
with my present wife, who returned my
passion. was poor, and her father,
notwithstanding our mutual attachment,
refused to consent to our marriage, and
gave bis daughters hand to the Marquis
L.. The evening before the celebra-
ton of this marriage, obtained from
her the promise to meet me, near the
park wall, for last adieu. A little be-
fore midnight I scaled the walls, and
found the young lady waiting for me,
accompanied BY trusty attendant. Our
tears and professions were suddenly
interrupted by a piercing cry. The
| young lady fed, with the servant, to the
house; climbed mp 60 the top Of the
wall, and was Just going to drop myself
down on the other side, when, BY the
light of the moon, saw man kneeling
on q corpse, and riding the pockets OF
his victim. My first impulse was 20
spring on the assassin, but l reflected
| that, IL I succeeded in securing him, j
would have to explain my own presence
in the park at that hour, and, IN doing
so, must compromise the young lady. !
therefore remained motionIess, and saw
the assassin, whom i recognised per
fsctly, bury the body of bis victim at the
foot Of the vail on which was crouch
ing. The next day, although the father
was missing, his daughter became the
| Marquise de l.. Married to vio-
lent and jealous man, her position made
Il yet more incumheRt on me to remain
silent; but, in order that the murder
might not pass unknown and unsveng-
ed, Il bethought me of writing the letter
which led to the arrest and confession
Of the murderer. For six years kept
silent on the subject Of what had seen.
The death of the Marquis de L. hay
ing left Mademoiselle q widow, mar
ried her yesterday. As she is now my
wife, and have, therefore, the right to
defend her against all snapicion, have
presented myself in order 10 explain the
agency by which the letter was sent to
the Judge in the name of the murdered
man.-Paris Cor. Montreal Herald,

smart old lady Of seYenty-fve, in Brain
tree, Massachusetts, was out Deriving
last Wednesday, when she caught sight
OF rattle-snake, with raised head,
about ready for 3 spring. Seizing
stick, she thrust it into his open throat
and down bis mouth, thus holding him
to the ground; then drawing a stone to
her by the aid of her foot, she, with stick
and stone, dispatched the ''varmint'' By
severing the head from the body.
Shouldering the snake, she started for
home, with g pail of berries in each
hand, but coHfesses TO being ''little
startled" when the headless body was
suddenly coiled around her throat, and
concluded to support her prize some
other way. The snake measured nearly

Melancholy Condition Of Queen Victoria.

M6lanonOly UOndlJl0n OF Queen Victoria.
A London correspondent of the New York
Tribune furnishes the following statement as
to the mental condition of Queen Victoria:
The queen will not open larlament in per-
son, though she has been earnestly entreatsd
to do so by her ministers, who would fain
crafty the community by withdrawing her
from seclusion and begin the session as bril-
lianuy as possible. She is more than ever
averse to society or publicity, and nobody
seems to possess influence enough with her
to overcome what appears to be confirmed
case OF monomania. People who should
know, folks who have access to the palace, or
are intimate with such, tell curious stories
about her. heard very recently that she had
the arm OF the late prince consort modelled in
wax and clolhad, and would pass hours sit
ting with it drawn through hers, absorb
ed in melancholy reflection, recalling the
past.
The duchess of Marlborough, daughter to
the great duke and Queen Sarah.Y had snch
an admiration of Congreve that when he died
she had an ivory figure made to initiate him !:
also large wax doll with gouty feet. to be-
dressed just as the dramatist's gouty feet
were dressed in his Lifetime. ga glass was
put in the hand OF the statue, which was SUM-
posed to bow to her grace, and to nod In an
probation of what she spoke to itr The
queens may be parallel instance, only less
extlavagant. Six months ago. too, | was in
formed on authority that put the matter be-
yond doubt, that the apartments of the de-
ceased prince were kept in precisely the same
order as that observed in his life time, his slip
pers and dressing gown regularly aired, his
clothes, boots, and toilet apparatus, placed as
tnougn ne might come back at any moment to
claim them. All of which, confess. seems to
me extremely sad and piteous,
