A terrible tragedy, which, how
ever, might have been worse, 70
marks the Pail Mall Gazette, oc.
cured the other day at CONSTANT
nople. A yourg man belonging to
a good family in France, had, it
seems, fallen a victim to the at
traction of q cafe chantant singer
at Marseilles, who led him into
heavy expenses, and brought him
into trouble with his family. The
chanteuse lately obtained an en-
gagement to perform in one of the
principle cafe chantants in Pera,
and Was accompanied to Constan-
tinople by her admirer. Dissipation
and gambling however, soon ex-
hausted his resorses, and, strange
to say, while loosing his money he
somehow also lost the affection of
the chanteuse This last misfor-
tune so efcted the poor young man
that few days ago he proceeded
to the lodgings of the lady in the
Rude de Fologne, and, after up
brading her with her conduct
discharged one barrel of loded
revolver at her and another al
himself. The chanteuse, who il
fond of animals, was, fortunately
for herself, engaged during hel
lovers recrimination in combing 6
favorite spaniel, and the bullet in
tended for her lodged in the dogs
spine and put an end to the ill fatet
creatures career. AS regards tn.
other shot the young man wal
rather more successful, for b,
managed to wound himself, though
not seriously. The scene when tn
police arrived was most distressing
The chanteuse was in fainting Fl
on the sofa, dog dead by her side
and the young man laying in
swoon on the floor. He was con
veyed at once to the police Office a
Galata Serai, whence he was after
ward transferred to the Frenc
Consular Prison to await furthe
proceedings.

Nay without Night.

There is perhaps no influence so
subtle yet so constraining, as that
of climate, sun, and air. And the
sensation OF the Arctic double day,
light perpetual, is something quite
new and extraordinary, exciting yet
invigorating. It enables one to 60
to bed at l o'clock and rise again
at 5 without the least feeling of las
situde. Only very little sleep is
required where the life giving rays
never desert us. An approximation
to this higher animation may be
felt in the Shetlands, where the
the children may be seen playing
on the hill side and in daylight till
IL, and people turned into bed
very late and reluctantly. Yet the
extreme north of Shetland is only
as far north as Bergen, at which
place the Arctic voyager feels al
ready, and with intense regret,
that the long days have left him,
that tho nights of the less favored
Southern countries are beginning,
and that gass in the streets and
candles in the house are not cast
off absurdities. Indeed, as to lat
itude, Norway may be almost said
to begin where Great Britain ends.
Christiansand, the extreme South
ern point of Norway, is in latitude
So degrees, on the same parallel
with the South of Sutherlandshire,
about Dunrobin Castle and Lairg.
Thence Norway extends for more
than thirteen degrees to beyond II
degrees. or Al degrees beyond the
Arctic region, making more sud
den and violent change in the sum
mer climate than might have been
expected. No experience in the
long days in the north of Scotland,
or even at Throndhjem 1854 gives
any adequate foretaste of the true
Arctic night. Near the Arctic cir

at midsummer, see the sun descend
