A FRENCH TRAGEDY.

A irightlul tragedy has taken place
in Saint Bricuc, y seaport town in
Brittany. a journalist named NJ. lie
Foil. connected with a local newspa
per called LIE Progress, sent an invita-
ton to Capt. Wurtz Of the Seventy
first Re giment to call at his Office on
urgent business. The captain did SO,
and found himself in presence of NJ.
lie Foil, who abruptly put to him this
questions "ls it true that you visited
my wife while 7 was absent from
town ?" The captain replied "les."
"You admit, them" continued the
husband, ''to have relations with
her? Not at all, protested Capt.
Wurtz. "Wlll you promise me,
then said M. lie Fol, "to fight with
any one who says that you are the low
er of my wife p "Certainly not" re
sponded the military man, 'becausc
in that case I should be obliged to
deal with all the blackguards you
might choose to send me. But if you
desire it I will fight with you Then
NJ. lie Foil followed with this strange
question, evil you sign declaration
stating on your honor that you have
never had any improper intimacy with
my wife 2" "Certainly,' replied
Capt. Wurtz, las it is perfectly true.
lie sat down at a table and began to
write tho required document, when
lie Foil drew 4 poignard and stabbed
him twice in the back. Although
Capt. Wurtz was struck down by the
second blow, he found enoagh strength
to disarm his antagonist Holding
the dagger in his hand, he said to bis
assassin, "NIiserable wretch, 90 and
save yourself ! could kill you like q
dog. Ole pourrals vous tuer CONNIE
I'm chien.) But l want to come out Of
this affair with my honor unstained. y
lie Foil escaped from the office of his
journal and went to his own house
carrying the dagger. Going up to
his wife he said, 81 have killed your
lover now die in your turn" With
these words, he stabbed her to the
heart. Proceeding to the hotel of the
Croix Blanche he there rejoined a wo-
man named Guinette, who had been
his mistress for eighteen months.
They went out together, but what
took place afterwards is not known.
In the morning the liteless bodies of
the couple were found at the gate of
the public park of the town known as
the Glais Bizoin. There is no doubt
that lie Foil had first killed the wo-
man and then had taken his own life
with a revolver which was found upon
his corpse [Paris correspondence OF
