FUAp PAsHA.
Mic. bas had mournful spectacle during
+ba week in the transportation OF the re-
mains OF Turkeys great statesman and
courageous reformer, Fuad Pasha, on board
a French gunboat, to be conveyed TO Con
stantinople. The local authorities and mill
tarv did their best to make the ceremony
;n,nos;no. The cortege passed through the
town amidst files of infantry, three Turk
;sh off;cers carried the "orders Of the de-
oessed on crimson cushions before the
hearse. behind came the muderis hodja, in
a long blue robe and turban, the pail bear
era being representatives Of various nations.
After leaving the town, Rustem Bey turned
round and thanked all, in the name of the
Sultan, for their kindness: and coon Villa
francha was reached and the remains of
the deceased placed on board the gunboat,
which had colors flying half-mast high, and
the sailors ranged in "funeral" order.
The day was brilliant. the blue waves of
the Mediterranean reflected summers

and the windows Of the magnificent hotels
were crowded. The Sultan intends erect

that can be paid to his memory.
TERRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE
has been committed at Grenoble. Baron
Brayer lived very secluded, and his bro
tber.in-law was surprised on finding no per-
eon answering to his summons for admls-
zion. Ultimately forcing the door, he found
three dead bodies before him bathed IN
sca of blood. The Baroness, aged thirty
six armed with "six shooter" had shot
her husband in the neck; then her son,
aged fourteen, attracted by the report, on
entering the room was shot in the head. she
retired few PAGES towarda the kitchen ana
shot herself through the heart, holding the
revolver still firmly in death. The crime
is attributed to positive poverty. among
her papers q short note was found stating
that she was in misery, unable to support
if and desired not to witness her family
anv longer submitting to it. Of the O,ooo
&C mobiles" in France many cannot be richer
than the unfortunate Baroness dc brayer.
MoNTMARTRE.
Chance brought me during the week in
the neighborhood of the Montmartre ceme-
tery, where, in November and December
last, according to the semi-oficial press, q
conspiracy was TO burst forth to overthrow
the Second Empire. There is no cemetery
in Paris go Notwithstanding as Mont
martre. The short avenue up to the OLD
shabby wooden gates was a flower market
where the choicest spring flowers, IN pots
and in bouquets, were being sold to those
who desired TO place them within the silent
chamber of the tomb house. The man out
aide the gate, who lives in kind Of cob
bler's stall, and who takes charge of dogs
and such prescribed articles, looked
Observation-Disclosures was bad; but the
fat and rudy conducte'trs were the re-
verse, as there were no demands making
on their time. A few steps brought
me to the tomb of Godfrey Cavaignac and
his ghastly figure and shroud in bronze as
:" when in death he cold reclined," and
around which the friends of liberty, equali-
ty, and fraternity used to crowd before the
Government looked upon the annual pill
grimage as "maIGuvres in the interior"

of this " worthy citizen of credit and re-
nown." In front and in the centre Of the
circle rises dark brown cross, like glib

by mound of wreaths three feet thick, in
every stage of rottenness. First thoughts
would suggest that il marked the spot where

those who intended to use the memory OF
Baudin to unseat the elect of eight millions.
The hurly -burly has passed away, however.
The English groom that was found stab
bed, and the knife sticking in his back, in
the Champs Elysees, died without being
able to describe intelligibly the attack. The
affair is very mysterious. Two English
stablemen have been arrested on suspicion.
One of them had short conversation with
the deceased before he expired, but has up
TO the present refused to reveal it. Two
detectives have gone over to England to in
ouire into the antecedents not only of the
victim, but of the suspected.
WIFE KILLING.
An old Arab has been sentenced to
death in Algeria for numbering his wife.
He purchased the latter for seventy-fve
francs, but the girl-for she was only six
teen-became disgusted with her husband
and ran homo to her parents, who, seeing
how matters stood, offered to return the
purchase money. Mustapha objected to
this, alleging that the prophet" had
willed the match. Detecting his wife car
rying on unsatisfactory relations with q
young lover, he deliberately " slaughtered"
her-expressed satisfaction at the deed
that he was now good for Paradise, and i'm
mediately surrendered himself to justice.
