the women were sleeping. and cut the throat
of the person lying fnrthest from the wall,
took up his victim and buried her in the gar
den. When he came back he found the bed
empty. He had murdered his own wife in
stead of the stranger. The wife lay close 70
the wall during the evening, but had after-
wards moved to the other side of the bed. The
girl had got out of bed after the murder and
fastened away with her money. ssN 1ssg
The Paris journals received by the last mails
arc all taken up with the great event of the
moment-the formation Of the new Cabinet. On
the whole, their opinion Is favorable, as scarce
ly more than one or two organs can be found
not to speak hopefully. In the opinion OF the
Temps, N. OlIivier's Cabinetis is much better
one than could have been hoped for after tho
endless negotiations of the last few days.
"Pntting aside the Left, which could not form
part of It, and which would not have wished
to do so," adds the Temps, sit is about the
best the present Chamber could have produc-
ed" The Debats says that, after congratula-
ting NJ. OLIVIER for the wisdom with which he
has chosen his colleagues, it Is only Just to rec
ognize that the attitude Of the Emperor during
the crisis just ended has been strictly and faith
fully parliamentary Everything, therefore,
it adds, 'sfavors the course of the Cabinet. The
head OF the State has allowed 1t full liberty
while forming, without asking that account
he may have had. The majority seems insured
to it in the Parliament; its formation viii
be hailed by the sympathy of the country, and
we sincerely hope for our own part, that Wo
may have only to applaud its liberalism" The
Steele expresses far less satisfaction. The Sole
Importance in its eyes Of the new Cabinet is,
that it renders prompt appeal to the CONSUME
encies indispensable.

in the end next to impossible, the Martinites
