France-A TriIemma.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA Paris special
says that the Government will adopt one OF
three courses in reference Of the report OF
the Committee of Thirty: The resignation
OF the Cabinet and the formation of anoth-
er from-the Right centre and Left centre,
thus detaching votes from the Right and
organizing new majority favorable to the
government. Second, formal declaration
Of the impossibility of continuing the gov
eminent under existing circumstances, and
an appeal for dissolution of the Assembly.
Third, the complete retirement of the gov
eminent and the acceptance of a Cabinet
exclusively from the Right. This latter
course is most likely, that is, more prob
able than the resignation of Theirs.
PARIS. Dec. THE Vice President of
the Committee Of Thirty last night had q
long and friendly conversation with Theirs.
The governmental situation is believed to
be improving. 1t Is rumored that Goulard
viii be appointed Minister of the Interior,
Leon Say, Minister of Finance, and Forum
Minister OF Public Works. At a meeting
of the Republicans yesterday at Credin,
presided over by Louis Blanc, speeches
were made in favor of dissolution Of the
National Assembly.

writing bv TeIegFaDh,

The Memphis appeal Of Dec. 6, has the
following: We had occasion, about year
ago, to allude to an invention In the line of
writing telegrsphs, which was being per-
fscted by Capt. J.. T. Lindsey, Of Jackson,
Tenn. 1t has recently come to our knowh
edge that Capt. Lindsey has perfected and
patented his invention, and demonstrated it
BY the actual operation to be complete
and crowning success. This certainly
opens up a new field in this, as yet, COM
paratively unexplored domain Of science,
and when the results that are claimed
to have been obtained and practically
demonstrated, as they soon will be, threat
ems to reyoluttonize the present. almost uni
yersally used system. Many efforts have
been made in this direction, but the results
that have been obtained have only been
found Of practical utility in local sense,
such as private lines for cities, and to con-
meet manufacturing establishments with
their offices, mile or more distant. This
is the first purely electrical and automatic
moving instrument that has yet come to
our knowledge, which claims the ability to
be worked on any length of line and IN al
respects to be q successful competition with
the Morse system.

Youthful Mystery or Blood.

CHICAGO, Dec. This afternoon Chas.
Brandt, aged IA, one of the party of four
boys who had been out on the prairie hunt
ing, was shot dead while on b S way home
in manner which is at present involved in
mystery. His companions who were about
his own age left him and ran home inform
ing Brandt's parents that ne accidentally
shot himself. This story they still adhere
to, but two young ladies, daughters of a
farmer near whose house the boy was
killed state that they saw from a window
one of the boys point gun at another,
heard the discharge and saw the boy fall, so
that whether the result was accident or de-
sign is yet mystery.
