A case of peculiar interest was recently
brought before the tribunal of Versailles,
where Madame Miiliere, widow of Jean
Baptiste Milliere, appeared before the
Judge in deep mourning to claim 100000
francs damages for the execution Of her
husband, who was shot when the Yer
sailles troops entered Paris. A Captain
Garcin was at breakfast when some OF
his men told him that Milliere had been
captured. Going at once to the spot, he
said that his orders we're to shoot Mil
liere on his knees in front of the Pan
theon. In vain did the accused man,
who was one of the best known speakers
of the clubs, protest, Captain Garcin
carried out his orders. The counsel for
Madame Milliere contended that her
husband was neither member OF the
Commune nor Of the Central Committee,
aud that Captain Garcin had no right to
take away bis life. The decision Of the
case was reserved for one week.

A New Orleans lady is in sore trou.
BILE. She feels that all her long cher
ished hopes of matrimonial happiness
are blighted and her life must henceforth
be a blank. Her name is Simkins, and
one unlucky night recently, as she was
sitting in the parlor entertaining her
idol, she discovered some insect was
down her back. She distinctly felt it
crawl. She knew it was big bug, and
probably deadly poison; but as the idol
was on the verge of a proposal, she
stood it. 1t rested for a while, and she
felt relieved; it moved just little,
though once, when she tried to touch it
with the end Of her fan outside of her
dress; but in little while she could feel
it sticking the sharp sting into her flesh.
oh" she almost shuddered. My
dear" said the idol. She paused. Ny
dear what makes you so restless" "Oh,
nothing" and she brushed at the bug.
The idol turned partially and touched
her hand. Agony the bug stung her; it
was burying itself in her flesh. She
rushed from the room and found-that
it was pin which had slipped out OF
her dress. She returned, but the idol
was gone, and has not been to see her
since.

A cafe scene a. Milan.

There is no spot on earth, says the cor
respondent Of the London Times, where
the principle Of livoand let live is more
consistently acted upon than at Milan.
There are no professional mendicants in
this city, but OF unprofessional beggars
the name is legion, aud these exist for
the simple reason that their friends pa
tronize them, and like TO have them
about them. II would be hardly possible
to believe under what variety Of
branches OF industry beggary and va
grancy continue TO thrive among these
easy going MilaBese. Prowling around
and even under the cafe tables
are swarms Of children, ill.combed
and dirty, but by no means in tat
ters; their apparent calling is to wait
patiently for the stump Of your half
penny Cavour cigar, but they look you
fully in the face as the foul weed is grow
ing small by degrees and beautifully
less; and if by your look they think you
good-natured they beg for a lump Of
sugar out Of your cogee tray. These
urchins the cafe customer has always on
his right and left, and even under his
legs; the walters, uneasy about stray
coppers, or even about Christohe spoons,
make sudden and fierce razzias among
them; but TO what purpose if the custo-
mers look benevolently on the little
Arabs-young Barabbases, they call
them-and if the cigar-stump and the
sugar-lump, with an occasional unsolic-
tied copper, are sooner or later forth
coming2
Close upon the heels of this juvenile
gang Devy Of aower.girls, hower-women,
and even flower old women are fitting
frem bench to bench, with slovenly, long
trailing garments, STOPPING over yeu with
grimace that is meant for smile,
thrusting a faded pink into your button
hole before you are aware of their in
tentions. Next comes q band of fhawkers
and itinerant vendors of cheap wares,
stationery, haberdashery, alabaster and
marble works, prints, photographs, litho.
graphs, books papers, lucifer matches,
blue spectacles and umbrellas, fans and
warming fans, every article in or out OF
season; the pushing peddler, opening
his pack or lifting the lid OF his box
under your nose. eager for bargain,
offering free choice, and inviting you
to name the price And, all the time,
above the talk of the tables, the calling
of the walters, the screaming of the
children, the gabble of the hawkers, the
chaff and banter of the crowd, there
arose the squeak of the fiddle, the strum-
ming of the guitar, and the discord Of
two three or more itinerant companies
of musicians, besetting the Threshold.

"Carrying Concealed weapons. >,

In the first place, do not BY any means advo-

Mr.. Editor: You may have noticed that"A

much as Captain Cutie was by Jack Bupsby 3

dates at the last examination had TO stay till &
O'Clock .'they properly failed to pass q satsfac

that ''fnished by ~ o clOck" were successful.
The facts are precisely the reverse Of this state
ment. The candidates that tOiled on till

those that quit at 10, IL and 1 O'Clock did
not pass, because they gavc no what seemed To
them an ipterminable job. and No, because they

a fact established by the record and report of
the committee. Again, Trustee says that 'dH
questions were based upon the studies of our

A Nice Little Game which Didn't
Work.

HOW THE KEssRs- GAIT SAVED 50 200 WORTH
OF DIAMONDS.
Yesterday, man who had arrived the pre-
vious afternoon at the Ebbitt House, where he
registered his name az "H. b. Gosser, of Mil
waukie," appeared in the office Of the hotel and
asking for the best carriage which could be fur
nished him, got one and ordered the driver to
take him to frst-class jewelry establishment.
In few moments he was set down at NJ. w.
Gait. Bro. & Co.'S, where Mr.. Charles Schaefer
waited upon him. He pretended to want dia-
mOnds for his wife, and selected about 50 ,OOO
worth for oh ladies wear; but, before PuTehasng
was unable to leave with him at that hour,
but arranged to meet him at three
O'Clock in the afternoon. At that time
Dir. s. started with the goods to the
hotel, and ON the way informed Detectives
McElfresh and Sargent to his errand, and
they aecomPanied him. but KEPT IN the back,
up stairs, where wine and cigars were proffered
him; .'Gossler" in the meantime pretending to
call his wife. She not appearing, Mr.. GOssler
asked Mir. Shaefer for the Jewels to show them
To her. Mr.. Shsefer mildly intimated that ne
would rather not let them 60 out of his posses
sion. Finding that he could not get possession
game, proffering wine literally to Mr.. Shaefer,
but failed in this plan also. Finally, pretending
to take second look for his wife, he left the
hotel, and, suspecting his little game was up,
fresh, who had kept their eyes on him, gave
chase. They Overhauled him at the corner of
18th street, and he was taken to DO
lice headquarters, and had an interview with
Chief Detective Clarvoe. He was virtuously
indignant at his arrest, but the officers were in
exorsble, and having no law in this District I'M
der which he could be prosecuted, they de-
termined to show him up. His pockets were
searched, and so in money and a set Of false
keys found To constitute their entire contents
When the trunks arrived he begged that they
be not searched, but the officers went through
them One Of them contained an old pair of
pants, an empty hat-box, pair Of slippers, half
a dozen paper collars, an old valse filed with
coal, and pair Of dirty stockings. and the other
had a sMall-sized marble tombstone wrapped in
bed-quilt, and a lot of sawdust to make it
heavy. Mn GOssler was allowed to depart on
giving his promise that he would leave the city
on the next train, promise the officers took
good care To see was fulfilled.
