Notorious French Criminals Worked of.
The Pal MaU8 Paris correspondent,

Ihe PuH MuH Paris correspondent,
writing on the fifth instant, says:
NJ. De Paris has Just returned here, after
a tour in the provinces, during which he
gUillOtIned some Of the most remarkable
criminals Of modern times. These were
the MarseiIIes men, who took their victim
out in a boat and tried in vain TO sink the
body. At Lyons ". De Paris operated up
on a man named Bernard, who seduced a
Young girl and then murdered her shortly
after she became mother. But perhaps
the most thrilling drama, taking it alto
gcther, was that which was terminated at
ATras by the execution Of COurcOl. This
misguided wretch slew his wife with hatch
ct. and the chief witness against him was
his own little boy, who saw the murder per
petTated, but who pretended to be asleep
for fear Of being as fascinated also. After
killing his wife COurcOl lighted his pipe and
left the house, and his child then jumped
out Of bed and called to his mother but
she was dead. When the lad related this
episode on the trial the prisoner became
furious. and said, Little viper 1 would

you were awake" E0uTc0l also INDUCED

penalty or the crime, and the torture to
which he was subjected reminds one strong
" of L. Der1tcr JOtr NJnt COpdcWHc, by
Victor Hugo. On the day of his execution
he was aroused at five o'clock in the morn
ing by the chaplain of the prison, who in
formed him that his time had come. Cour-
col then received the communion, and was
afterward conveyed TO the railway station
at st. Omer, where he got into a second
class carriage between two gendarmes and
started for Arras, the chaplain accompany
ing the party.
At eleven o'clock Arras was reached, and

A Remarkable Dream.

In the Cape Ann AdcertiScT we find the
following story: While the schooner Belvi-
dere was sailing from the Georges to Cape
Ann the captain, Samuel Elweu, dreamed
he saw floating upon the sea a dead body.
All his efforts to secure it were unsuccoss-
full, and his distress at seeing his vessel ride
over it awakened him. lie went immedi-
ately upon deck to convince himself that
the whole thing had been a dream, and TO
shake OFF the impression il bad left upon
him. While telling some of the crew about
it their attention was attracted by a box
which was floating toward them. As it
came nearer they tried to grapple it, and
bring it on deck; but the waves washed it
under the vessel, and they passed over it
just as they had passed over the body in his
dream. After this. he could not rest until
he had sent boat after it, and it had been
secured. Upon opening the box, lying upon
q bed of seaweed they found the body Of a
little girl, whose bright golden hair lay over
the forehead, cOnccaing the marks of, prob
ably, the death blow. She was nicely
dressed, about four years old and had, evi-
IDENTIFY, been dead about ten days. As they
were not to land for several days, and as
decomposition had already begun, they had
no alternative but to sink the box in the
ocean. Whether the dreadful crime can be
traced to its perpetrators OF not is doubtful,
hut-that a dream should have discovered it
is very strange

The st. Louis Democrat of Thursday saws:
Sol Smith Russell, the well known actor
from jacksonville, was in town Yesterday,
at the Planters. About the tenth of No
vember, Mr.. Russell leaves for an extended
summer Southern trip, which will occupy
him at least ten months, commencing at
Cairo and embracing Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida Georgia,
Virginia, the Carolinas, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, with. in all probability, short tours
in Louisiana and Texas. His entertain
ment takes the form Of a mOnoIogue, some
thing like Charles Matthews " At Home"
or MitchelIs exhibition. 1t will contain
several representations, brief comic lee
lures, songs, etc. From the style in which
it is written, and his well-known personal
character, the entertainment is sure to lie
not only an agreeable one, but one with
which the most tastidious taste cannot find
fault. Mr.. Russell has for the past seven
years travelled with the Berger family and
the Peake family, and in his vacations has
frequently tried giyingan entertainment Of
the above character. His attempts have
met with such success as to warrant him
adopting that line of business permanently

DR.. Howard's DAMAGES.

[ From the New York Herald.y

"A Ne" 1OIk ulSpdICu says
DR.. Howard, who has returned from
Spanish Imprisonment, attributes his re-
lease to the press-o of the United States, TO
which he returns his warmest thanks. He
thinks Secretary Fish might have acted
more promptly, and that the government,
with proofs before it that he was a United
States citizen, might have abbreviated, or
at least alleviated his sufferings DR..
Howard will 60 to Washington in day or
two, and will present his claim, which is
for pretty round sum, including loss of
medical business at CienfuegOs, and his
property, the latter valued at $50, 600 He
will not return to Cuba. Howard says he
was loaded with chains on a transport ship,
kept down in the hold, and, when he want
ed water had to go up on deck, dragging
the chains after him. These exeTtiOns, to-
gether with bad food, gave him disease.
The cOmmandant of the prison at Cadiz
was brute and thief. Some of the pris-
Oners there actually died from eating the
food. Howard had to procure food out
side, for which the commandant charged
double. No other prisoners were allowed
to converse with Howard. No letters or
papers were allowed to reach him, while
the filth and vermin made him sick, The
cOmmandant refused to remove him to the
hospital. 1t was only secured by United
States Consul Duffy

Origin or the Fighting Editor.

The fighting editor" the journalist who
backs with his fist or revolver what his col
leagues pen has written, is being not I'M
known to the columns Of Western papers
and the streets of Western towns. lie is
not, as he is generally thought, indigenous
to America. His profession was created in
France, during the reign Of Charles X. NJ.
Constant de Rebecque, editor of the Minerva,
became stated with duels, and hired a fenc-
ing-master to sing his articles and sIay his
attackers. Within year five officers OF
the Kings body guard fell under his sword.
He received and accepted a challenge to
fight Extraordinarily young officers Of the
st. Cyr military college, agreeing to fight
them all in turn. They, however. adopted
their enemy's plan, and hired a rival bravo,
Chocquart, to meet this one. The duel
lasted three-guarters Of an hour, and ended
in the death of NJ. Rebecque's champion.
Did the editor despair He instantly. en-
gagged ChOequart at a higher salary than
the st. Cyrians could offer and thencetorth
wrote what he would.

The orange crop is not so promising as at
our last report; the trees are generally well
loaded but at Pointe-a-la- Hache, and in the
vicinity thereof, the fruit seems to be at
tackled by certain mysterious disease,
which manifests itself by turning the rind
partially black. We know nothing of its
cause, and simply record the fact. Some
contend that it is disease of the tree,
others that 1t is caused by the sun shining
