OF uniaithfulncss, and used this as pre-
text for his iuhuman treatment. Her
friends advised her 10 leave him, but
with wifely devotion she refused.
One evening, worn out with fatigue,
she fell asleep on the sofa during her
husbands absence. When she awuke,
she found her hands tied and her hus-
band bending over her with huge
knife in his hand lie threatened Ia

The poor victim tried to struggle 10

cred her face with a pillow TO smother
her cries. He then hrundished the hot
iron as though about to scar her face
with il. For some reason he changed
his mind. Taking bottle Of sulphuric
acid, he poured il over n cloth. Then,
holding his wife down on the sofa, he
smcarcd the left side Of her face with tho
acid.
She cried out, broke her bonds, and
fed screaming down tho steps and into
the street, closely followed 10y her hus-
band, knife in hand. Fortunately she
eluded him, and succeeded in making
her way 10 the friends for whom she had
been working. Picard, when he found
she had escaped, coolly lighted cignr-

The maiden name of Mme. Picard was
Heloise Bennett. She was married 10 Pi-

of the Seine. She is Of small stature,
has long dark hair, and, before the mu-
tilation, was comely in feature as we'll MS

marked for life. The whole of her left
cheek is as black as charcoal, and the
pain which she suffers is excruciating.

Hari Karl--.The Dance Before Death.

Some curious details are given by a
Japanese cnewspaper-the TChoyd Chin
b0u,-as to the manner in which some Of
the "aristocrats Of the old school in that
country. who were cond mned 10 death
for the part they took in the late insurrec-
ton. but who preferred hari kari 10 de
capitation, spent the last hours OF their
lives. Four Samuurai insurgents Of
Koumanote. who escaped on the twenty
fourth Of October, assembled at the house
OF one 10y namc Yonemnra for the purpose
of ending their existence hy the " happy
dispatch in his hospitable dwelling.
Before giving themselves over 10 death
they gave themselves over to n regular
jollifcation-drinking, dancing, and sing-
ing rs though on n festive occasion. Their
hostess, without any wish unnecessarily
to curtail their enjoyment, with much
tact and good feeling advised them not
to keep up this revelry too long, ms the
police could hardly fail to hear the dis
turbnnces caused by their songs and
dances. They turned deaf ear to her
kindly warning and continued to drink
and nmuse themselves for the whole day,
saving that if the "shizohu" arrived
they were prepared TO fight them. The
hours thus passed pleasantly away until
sunset, when the party arrayed them
selves in the robes which, according to
old japanese fashion, are appropriate for
the ceremony they were about to perform,
and, having offered up their prayersto the
gods, "happily dispatched " themselves
without further delay.

An Army OF Mntcr Rats.

Or. Van Der Hork, tho German
traveller 10 the Arctic circle, says On
one occasion wa hada curious adventure.
While crossing a lacustrine part Of the
river called kjoalmcjaurc, in the early
part of the night we were suddenly sur
rounded by swarms Of lcnming
(Nyodcs tDrquafHs), nm animal like
the mountain rat. They swarmcd about
the boat, and tried 20 Chamber into il,
80 that it was with the greatest difficulty
we could keep the fierce little creatures
from boarding us 10y beating about with
the oars, at which they would set up
sharp, shrill screams similar 10 those Of
n muskrat. After some time we Sic
cceded in passing them. These little
animals come Unexpectedly down from
the mountains, no one knowing exactly
whence, and appear in millions, swarm
ing over the whole country, eating up
almost everything that comes in their
way.
Neither rivers nor lakes seem 10 deter
them, both of which they swim with
case, usually keeping on their destruc-
tive path until reaching tho open sea,
which they vainly cndeavor TO cross,
never swerving from the direction once
taken until they sink exhausted beneath
the waves. Thus perish countless num-
bers. They commit great ravages, and
are MS dreaded in the North rs the locusts
are in Egypt Years, however, elapse
between their reappearance, or until
they suddenly descend from their rocky
retreats. The Lapps tell us that they
rain from the sky, many OF them stating
that they have actually seen them fall.

A Scene in a Murderer Cell.

Charles NJ. Sterling, who was TO have
been hanged in Youngstown, Ohio, for
the murder, two years ago, of a young
German girl named Lizzie Grumbacker,
was respited by Gov. Young until April
90. The mystery which has surrounded
the accused was intensified by persons
who claim TO be his mother and brother,
from Maxwell, Ontario, arriving in town
and visiting him in jail. he has since
his second trial insisted that his parents
resided there, and gave the names Of
different members of his family, and,
when his supposed mother was taken
into his presence and rushed forward TO
embrace him, he coolly drew back, say
ing that she was not his mother; that he
never knew her and had never seen her;
that he had never been At Maxwell; that
his name was not Charles nj. Sterling;
that he had invented the story he had
told SO often; that he was once intimate
with the real Charles M. Sterling, and
had assumed his name.
Mrs Sterling is positive that this is
her son, though he left home seven years
ago The mother tried to mention Incl
dents which would make him remember
her, besought him not to add this to the
crime of which he was accused, and with
tears and sobs implored one look Of
recognition; but all to no purpose.

magistrate, more particular than his pre-
decessors, declined to sign the certificate
until the money was counted over 10
him. The objection was not unreason-
able, but there was this difficulty in the
WAY of its removal, that the gunny bags
