LEE IN PApIs-ShocAinq Denoraz;sation-A week.
~ publication called lie Dable Quatre has taken 10
the subject of female extravaganza and treats it so op-
portuney and vigorously that four editions of the peri
odica, it seems, were sold in one day. Here are a
few of its remarks:

rect and honest for its insane requirements

grating families, by introducing into them chickering's

hatred of home. 1t has not been very long time
since mathematical philosophy noted the disorders TO-
mented by luxury, aud demonstrated the mminence
of the progress of the plague. Mathematical phoso-
ply framed the budget Of young married people who

victims of the passion Of making splendid show. The
woman who sells herself was absolutely unknown in
the highest social circles, where husband and wife be-
onged to the most opulent families of France. Now
this paguespot is everywhere because straitened cir
cumstances the rule everywhere. Straitened cir
cumstances reign in every family, from that of the

told him to go off, that be did not want to hurt him.
But Hodges became more boiserous and furious after
being disarmed, and began to Taylor in loud
voice. young man, named Johu Pryor in the EN-.
ploy of Mr. Goa1el as wagon driver, happened to be
driving his wagon the of the difficulty and
hearing Hodges violent language Jumped from his
wagon, and walked deliberately up to where HODGES
Stood drew revolver and shot him through the head
lDfctlng wound that occasoned death in few hours
