The Paris Court of Assizes has just con-
Icted mason and his wife of manslaughter
for the killing of their own son. The reason OF
their cherished hatred of their offspring was
in a great measure the fact that he was more
respectable than themselves, and sailor in
the government service, while his father and
brothers were Communists. The old man had
frequently menaced him, calling him YER
sailist and biood-thursty wretch; though on
account OF the sentiments of his relatives, he
had been removed from the naval force to the
capitol of Cherbourg la order not to light
against them. After the suppression OF the
Commune he left the service and lived with
sister near.his parents, who frequently quar-
relied with him. One day, as Lac couple were
excited with drink, they lay In wait for their
son, and when he appeared, the woman seized
him by the hair of the head and held him
while his father plunged knife into his heart.

ept generation, and Mejla, the grim Indian,
who remained faithful to the Emperor when
men of better reputation betrayed him, were
only q few of the victims whose death war
rant Juarez signed. Whatever may be said
in favor Of Juarez, however much his energy,
patriotlsm and indomtable will may be
praised, he was certainly as msrciless as the
most yindictive Indian on the plains. His
successor is evidently very different sort of
man. for his first act has been to grant an am-
nesty to all but two of the adherents of the
fallen empire.
IA striking execution was that of the MUIR
derers of NJ. Greco, at Marseilles, which has
