A San Francisco correspondent OF the New
York Herald has had somewhat remarkable
interview recently with Mrs Fair, the muir
deress of Crittenden, in her cell In the San
Francisco jail. This strange woman, 1t seems,
contested the right Of Crittenden to live with
his wife becaase they did not love one another,
and holds to it that she (the murderess) and
Ciitfeaden were the lawful pair because they
diffove one another. Accordingly, in mo-
ment Of temporary insanity, she shot Critten-
den, and now regretted only one thing-that
he was not present to defend her. She feels
confident OF anal reprleve, because, as she
says, her case is a political one, and when she
is tried again there will be a new judge on the
bench.
The double child, which died the other day
In Boston, has been subjected to.a post NOR
tenn examination. The fact was developed
that the connection of the viscera in the two
bodies was an interjunction of the intestines,
lust above the colon, which organ was not du-
pllcated, but common TO both children. Above
the colon all the organs were duplicated.
There was but one uterus and one bladder,
with two distinct ureters. The children were
embalmed and placed in casket containing
alcohol. The Boston Medical Society offered
large sum for the preparation, but the parents,
making business matter Of their bereave-
ment, wanted SIC, 900, which they couldn't get,
and sothey have carried the dual baby home
to- Ohio.
"A letter from the Empress Eugenie to
friend, Just made public, contains her defence
against the attack of General Trochu in the
Assembly. She expresses herself as panied at
seeing the general trying to exosse himself by
throwing the responsibility OF his errors upon
q woman. She acknowledges that grave
errors were committed, and willingly bears
her share of their odium, but wishes Trochu
to be manly enough to tell the truth, at least.
The generals explanations, as viewed by Eu
genie, are not only weak, ungallant and inac-
cura.e, but deceptive. He betrayed the Re-
public as well as the Empire, according to the
Empress, and had he the courage, force and
ability, he might have been able to have pre-
vented the revolution Of the 4th Of September.
1t was this revolution which nulliaed the in
teryention of foreign powers in the cause OF
France. Had the Regency been maintained
and Paris remained faithful to the Empire, in
teryention was sure to have followed the dis
aster at Sedan. Certain powers, she explains,
were pledged to intervention, but the revolu-
ton Of September nullifed every arrangement
that had been entered into; and she con-
cludes by declaring. with woman-like earnest
ness: ssGeneral Trochu will not wash away
with his discourses the ineffaceable stain of
