LoNDoY, November l9.--A Berlin tel
egram to the Daily News states that in
the event of war arising from the Rus
sian notification of the Paris treaty,
Prussia and Russia will cooperate
against the allied powers of Europe.
The London Telegraph believes that
Count Bismarck will propose an armis-
tice between France and Prussia, and
the immediate assembling of general
congress of the European powers to set
tie the momentors questions at issue
between the contending powers.
The Times says that if Russia wishes
to secure the consideration of the treaty
by the European powers, she must first
withdraw her note and renounce her
right to independent action. Upon no
other conditions can she obtain the
needed notifications.
A dispatch from Vienna states that
Austria is preparing to send 300, 900
troops to the eastern frontier, upon the
borders of Hungary and Pennsylvania.
The military preparations are well for
ward.
1t is rumored that Russia will shortly
propose a conference Of the powers who
we're parties to the treaty of Paris to
meet at Brussels and deliberate upon

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, November ls.-The Eastern
semi-oficial correspondence contains the
following declaration; Russia, acting
solely on her own responsibility, CON
ducts the violation Of rights stipulated
by the treaty, and the weakness of the
legal status upon which peace in the
East is based. Count Gortschakoff s
note created a most threatening posi-
ton, which will induce the sgnatary
powers to uphold firmly and energeti-
cally the public right. The menaeed
question involves vital points, on which
the very existence of Austria rests. The
parties to the treaty have every reason
to agree upon a common course Of ac-
ton to resist the designs Of Russia.

man stated that the unfortunate man, though
sane on most subjects, had for many years
been under an hallucination that he had been
poisoned, and was now dead-speaking Of
himself in the past tsnse. He was married,
and had family of eight children. He had
been an inmate of st. Dukes about eighteen
months. Like DIR. Ellis, this brother be-
heved the deceased to have been the lunatie
Heasman. In spite of all this, however, a
new witness, Mrs. Mary Anne Banks, dis
tinctly swore that the deceased was her hus-
band. He was q commercial traveller who
had been for some time missing. She stated
that there was general resemblance both in
form and features She described before
seeing the body very peculiar mark which
her husband had on one of his fingers; and
the deceased had exactly such mark.
Her sisters, two married women, cor
robated her assertion that the deceased
was her husband Banks-also comparing the
fingers, the features, the general contour of
face, the beard, the moustache the chest, the
shoulders, all tailed. While the jury, utterly
bewildered, we're considering this evidence,
another lady came forward, and showed
photograph of missing gentleman, much
more resembling the deceased than that
which had been produced from st. Uukes.
Mrs. Banks, and Mr.. Heasman's brother,
both appeared on subsequent occasion, and
each insisted on the truth of the respective
stories told. Cumulative testimony, how
ever, was forthcoming in support. OF the
st. Luke's incident Mrs. Heasman, wife
of the unfortunate man, not only corro-
borated the. identity, but stated that the
name of Heasman, found on some of the
deceased mans under-clothing, was written
by herself, and that tho dark-blue trousers
were the same which she had stitched with
the aid of a sewing machine. DIR. Ellis,
once more, found that the deceased had lost
tooth, exactly corresponding in position
with one lost by Heasman. The coroner
could not discern that any of the witnesses
would benefit by the death of the deceased;
he gave them all credit for being sincere,
however certain it was that some of them
must have been mistaken. The Jury after
patient investigation, agreed with the coro-
ner, that the deceased was the lunatic Heas-
man; but they could not find how he had
come by his death, although they believed he
had poisoned himself.-An tie Pear Round.

and yet it has puzzled physicians and meta
physicians very considerably. We are told
that all the material particles, all the carbon,

that nobody can make anything of the mat
