TRAGEDY IN SWITZERLAND - An american
Iietsm.-The London Daily Telegraph OF August
9Th prints an account, sent it BY a cOrrespon-
dent. Of tragedy which has occurred in Switz-
erland. 1t appears that young Polish student
formed the acquaintance Of an American lady
named Huse, who with her four daughters was
staying at Gersau. After a time lie asked the
hand OF one of the young ladies in N arriage, but
was refused, and the family shortly afterward
left Tor Geneva. On August the young lady
was out for g walk IN q wood with one Of her
sisters and an English gentleman, when sud
denly the Pole appeared, and presenting re-
voiver, first shot Miss Huse and then attempted
TO blow out his own brains. He so far succeeded
IN his design that both he and his victim were in
the most critical state and not expected to live.
Miss Huse was shot in the head, and the bullet,
passing through her temple and striking her
tongue, has stopped her power of speech. In
tense excitement has been caused at Geneva by
the news OF the tragedy.

Importance OF the Recent Riots in
GERMANY,

The Pail Mall Gazette, of August I, saws tina,
at would seem. after all, that the French press
does not very much exaggerate in the matter OF
the Berlin riots on the 25th and Goth of last
month. Az is known, the immediate occasion
OF the disturbance was the eviction of family
which had paid no rent for some time. The
Berlin correspondent Of the Cologne Gazette
however, stated that the evicted family parted
on good terms with the landlord; til at they hired
a cart to remove their furniture. but that on
the way a dispute arose as to the sum to be
paid to the carter, and that he unloaded the
furniture and left it in the street. In any
view this would give no good cause for riot, the
correspondent maintains, inasmuch as the fire.
men were assisting the family with their
furniture when the scufie began. The true
cause, he says, sis to be sought in the love
OF ecandai and the predominant disposition of
our people to take part against authority
Ii must be added that tho neishborhood is
thlckly peopled by dsorderly mob, which il
accustomed to live on the worst of terms with
The guardians of the public morals Whatever
may nave been the cause, this much, at least is
certain, that the disturbances lasted from the
forenoon OF Thursday, the 25th, till one O'Clock
next morning; that The mob broke in doors and
windows and had 20 be charged again and again
ny the mounted police, and that great number
OF arrests were made before anything like order
was restored. On Friday afternoon the mob re-
appeared IN greater numbers than the preceding
gay, anG the riotiDg recommended. Stones and
other pTojectiles were thrown from the upper
stories of the houses; in several of the streets
barricades were erected, and il was three O'Clock
on Saturday morning before the disturbances
were completely quelled."

Icsis still regarded in Europe as luxury only
attainabe By the wealthy. Its use in English
households as an article OF daily consumption is
unknown, and even among the more expe nsive
classes of hotels ice Is used sparingly and in
small quantities. Paris, we are told, has been
without ice during the hot weather, and butch
ers, fshmongers and other dealers in provisions
have suvered heavy losses from the heat. The
deep cellars Of the city have been resorted to as
refrigeratois.
