The woman Of Paris began an agitation

The woman OF Paris began an agitation
for their rights &c early as l64S, when
there appeared in that city a volume
entitled THE Generous Woman, who
shows that her sex is more noble. more
polite, more valiant, more learned, more
v%irtuous, and more economical than the
other" 1t was at this that the jealousy
Of men was aroused and an ingenious
book appeared, called Woman Better
than Man; a Paradox" by jacques del
Pozo.
A famous brigand, by name Alamo,
has just been beheaded at Potenza in
the Neapolitan province, after conviction
of 6fty.nine murders and attempts at
murder. he made a little speech at the
last moment, thus; People Of Potential
Let my death be an example to you.
Fathers, rear up your children properly.
True, my father reared me well, but /
was an assassin. l suffer a merited
death-pray for mel With an Ave
Maria IN his lips, his head was severed
from his body by the executioner.
The following letter was written to
Victor Hugo by a woman who requested
that her lame be kept secret: II am
one of those whom you succored during
the siege Of Paris. You gave me 100
francs, and when / said to you. 1 hope
to be able to repay you. To whom shall
l repay the money! you replied, To
the poor am able, now, to fulfill your
wish. l have worked, and have the
fruits Of that work. l have 100 francs
to spare. l send them to you for the
sufferers Of the i%nundation (pour les in
ondes)."
The bones of the Austrian and Italian
soldiers who fell in the battle of Gus
tozza, in 1866, are to be collected and Blu.
ried together on that battlefield by order
of the local authorities. The principal
journal Of Vienna sings a hymn of praise
to this brotherhood in death, which not
only buies the victims of that obstinate
fight, but also the historical contest be-
tween Guelphs and Ghibellines, between
Austria and Italy" Laurels for the
past and roses for the future. Surely all
nations are steadily improving, and
should be expected with such fine agen-
cies as press, steam and electricity to
c%urtail some of the distance between
stovepipeS and the skies. AID astra, ad

The Divorce OF the Grand Duke
Alexis.
Paris Cor. London Daily News.l

Paris Cor. London Daily News.l
\ We have been told from St. Petersburg
that the Grand Duke Alexis, son OF the
Gar, is just divorced. His wife was q
German maid of honor, for whom the
Empress had a great affection. She was
not pretty, | am told, but extraordinarily
graceful, and possessed of that fascina-
ton which is a better gift than beauty.
So the Grand Duke fell over head and
ears in love, and the lady, confding IN
her mistress affection, undertook to
break the news. 1t was done, and a few
hours after the lady found herself travel.
ing at express speed toward the frontier,
while the Prince received orders to Join
his slip. Thus they were separated for
a while. But it is hard to control a
prince, harder to rule q sailor; and a
sailor prince in love must be worse 20
hold than quicksilver. The Grand Duke
ran away, Of course, found the lady, and
married her at a village church in Ger
many. Thence they went to America,
where for two years they dwelt in perfect
happiness. The Gear, it is said, would
not forgive, nor would the Prince hum
bic himself. But the Empress interposed
at length, both for her son and her ex-
maid Of honor. Aud so, after a time, a
reconciliation took place. This week
the solemnities of the divorce are all
completed; the Grand Duke enters the
army, and his widow receives a pension.
Seeing she is but twenty-one, she has
time for more romantic adventures, but
greater she a scarcely hope for.
