"A child was poisoned to death in Paris
by the application Of tobacco juice mixed
with lard TO its head.
M. Ponsard, the author Of new and
very successful play just brought out in
Paris, occupied an obscure seat IN the BACK
Of private box during the first perform
ance Of the piece, and the audience vas
first made aware of his presence by show
er Of kisses bestowed upon him by his wife
when the uproarious applause decided the
success Of the drama
Old French grammars state that the
French alphabet contains only twenty-five
letters Recently 4double V" az the
FrencI. still call W, has acquired freedom
Of the tongue through the influence Of wag-
on, whist, whiskey, drawback, warrant,
Walewski, Welles de Lavallette, Koenigs-
warter. The ALouitear, the official newspa-
per, has just had considerable number Of
type Of this letter made. II is to be hoped
that the French may henceforward cease to
call he Bard Of Avon, II. Williams.
Karl Blind, father of the young man
who attempted to assassinate Count Bismark.
has written a letter to London journal, in
which he says: " With bleeding heart,
and bowed down with grief, l place the
palm Of martyrdom on the grave of him
who has been his mothers pride and de-
light, and whom | will ever regard as my
true son. A nobler, more loving nature
than his, it would be impossible to imagine
From love of country and freedom he was
carried away to sacrifice himself in order
to spare to his fatherland the miseries of a
wicked war His was heart full Of devo-
4,,j G1soI I-ipJpocc full Of tho Of
generous aspirations If others blame him,
let it not be expected that 7, to whom he
looked as to father, should give the right
to any one of saying that l reprobate him,
Atose inspirations have been the purest,
and who has enthusiastically-a although to
the deepest sorrow of my disconsolate wife,
of myself and family-given up his young
and promising life in his countrys cause"
Not long since the magistrate of South
am, bennington, England, convicted the
organist and part Of the choir Of the neigh
boring village church Of Grandborough IN
the sum of one shilling each and cost, I'M
der the following circumstances: mem
Der of the choir had recently died, and
after his interment the organist and choir
resolved TO honor his memory by singing
Pope's ode, "Vital Spark Of Heavenly
Flame" in the church on Sunday, the 18th
of March. The curate, the Rev. Mr.. Walsh,
told them he could notballow them to sing
q Vital Spark" but offered to substitute the
we'll known hymn, "Thy VIII be Done"
az given in "Hymns Ancient and Modern"
They, however, refused to sing any other
piece but "Vital Spark" and told Mr..
Walsh he might give out whatever hymn he
thought proper, they were determined to
only sing that piece. Legal opinion, it is
said, was taken on the point by the choir,
and they persisted in their resolution, and
on the appointed day carried it out. For
this act the reverend gentleman summoned
the organist and choir, under the 28d and
35th Wet, cap. 80, for having I" disturbed;
vexed and troubled" him by their proceed
ings He asked the magistrate to deal len
lie, lily with them, as this object was to teach
them better, and not to punish vindictively
and each of The defendants was fined as
stated, Is. and costs.
