AS Queen Victoria was returning from
drive on the evening Of the Goth ult.,
and Just as she had reached the gate at
Buckingham Palace, young man named
O'Connor ran to the side of the carriage
and presented pistol within foot of the
Queens head. The Queen bent her head
down to avoid the shot, but the pistol did
not explode. The fellow in one hand
held papers granting release to the Fenian
prisoners, which he shouted to the Queen
to sign, threatening her at the same time
with pistol. He was instantly seized
by the attendants and prevented from
doing further harm. 1t was then found
that the pistol was unloaded, and that it
was of such primitive construction
that If it had been loaded it probably
could not have been discharged Much
excitement and many exaggerated reports
grew out of this affair. The young man
who made the assault is between nineteen
and twenty years of age, and after he
was taken to police station his behavior
was wild and his language incohcrent.
Later reports show that the pressure of
the people in London to witness the royal

much more calamitous results than was
ut first supposed. II is now learned that
five persons were killed and thirty in
jured.
The London Times of the Goth ult

the treaty. If the treaty is failure, it

LAUan1Na.-I never saw Frenchman
laugh. They smile, they grin, they
shrng up their shoulders. They dance,
they cry "Hal' and "Ciel!" but they
never give themselves up to boistorous,
unlimited laughter. They have always
a rein upon their lungs, and their
muscles are drilled to order. Their
mirth does not savor of flesh and blood.
I do not intend to contend for that
pampered laugh which grows less and
less, in proportion as it is high fed (so
gin given to children stop their growth
but for a good broad English laugh,
such as belongs to o farce or fair.
The Germans laugh sometimes. tho
Flemings often, the Irish always; the
Spaniard's face is fused, the Scotch
mans thawed into o laugh; but
Frenchman never laughs. They smile,
indeed; but what then? their merriment
squeezed and strained, there is some
thing of the aoid of their salads, some
thing of the pungency of their sauces,
but nothing substantial; it is neither
solid nor ethereal, but thing between
wind and water; not of earth or heaven,
good nor bad, but villianoualy indif-
ferent, and not to be admitted Us mirth.
