The wife Of one Giovanni Marcelli, an
Italian resident Of Cairo, in Egypt, lost
her sight after careful treatment for
ophthalmia by proment oculist, DIR.

feeling OF senseless revenge, wsylaid the
doctor and his secretary as they were
going home one night, and threw nitric
acid into their eyes, entirely destroying
those organs.
The British Consul at Rome, in n
recent official report, attributes the fine
quality Of the Italian voice to the custom
prevalent among mothers in the Eternal
City, Of hitching their swaddled babies
up to nail, and leaving the darlings to
squat away by the hour to their hearts

The mnch talked of overthrow Of the
famous column in the Place Vendome
does not seem to have involved any Sc
rious destruction Of property. A compe-
tent architect estimates the cost of its
restoration precisely as it stood before,
at triae over fifty thousand dollars.
This appears incredible. But the pros
tration Of the column only injured ten
of the two hundred and seventy-four
bronze plates of which its exterior was
composed, and these require but com.
paratively slight repairs. A few bars Of
the balustrade and some pieces of the
capital have disappeared; but these can
he easily replaced. rst
