The extraordinary feature Of the billiard
tourney in Paris for tho championship Of
France. which ended Saturday night. was its
resulting in precisely the same score Of games
won and lost as the previous contest. played
during tho week ending April %. In each Of
the two series tho players were MAURICE VIG-
NtuX MAURICE DAILY. ALBERT GARNIER. and
LUCiEN Plot. Both series were held at the
Grand Cato. whcrc PLOT. u man about 80 years
old. has long been wont TO give brilliant OK
hib.tons of his skill. Each series consisted Of
ono game by each player with every other
which made three for each player. and six in
all. one for each night Of the week. and each
game was Of Geo points. The same table was
used in cach scrios. and the same rules govern
ed. Exactly tho same numerical result as We
havo said, occurred in both series. namely:
NIcNAuX in cnch won three games and lost
none. while every other player won one game
and lost two. As GARNER aud DAILY expect to
bring NfcNAUx back 10 America with them in

I'Ocassct.

We are not surprised to hear of the wrath
OF the people OF Pocasset against the Adj
vcntist FREEMAN, who murdered his little
daughter as a sacrifice to COP.
But FREEMAN's deed furnishes no reason
why tho people of Pocassct should offer up
sacrifices to the devil by lynching him and
his hackers.
FREEMAN's crime was a shocking one, and
the lynching OF FREEMAN would be another
shocking crime.
FREEMAS's crime has disgraced Pocassct,
but we do not see how Pocassct would be
relieved Of this disgrace by the preparation
Of another crime.
If the second crime were pcrpctratcd, the
guilty persons would surely suffer severe
punishment under the laws of Massachu-
sctts.
FREEMAN is in the hands Of the law. safely
lodged in jail. He will be tried before tho
proper court. lie will suffer the penalty OF
his crime. This ought to be sufficient for
the people of Pocassct.
Massachusetts is no place for Lynch law.

upon application of Mrs. Katherine Chase
Sprague for the appointment of a trustee
of her property. The counsel for the
petitioner stated that ev-Gov. Sprague
and wife were not living together and
there was no reasonable probability they
will live together in the future. This
declaration he based upon the sayings and
acts of both parties. He nominated Rob
ert Thompson for trustee. The counsel
for ex-Gov. Sprague agreed with the other
side as to the law in the case that Mrs.
Sprague had the right to trustee but he
objected to the nomination of Thompson
and moved its reference to the master.
This motion the court overruled, when the
counsel for Mr.. Sprague nomiuatedArthur
Watson for trustee and asked postpone
meDt until Friday next to enable him to
rile reasons for his motion. The case went
