Harry D'Acheul. Good music was provided

Is it to ''gain notoriety'' that some people
plead the baby act to escape payment of a
debt fairly due? By the way, when an
individual aged 20 years and some months
escapes payment of a debt OH the ground that
he was a minor and consequently of infirm
judgement when the debt was contracted, it
strikes us that his case presents something of
a paradox, if, a few months afterwards, he
considers his judgment equal to the task of
conducting a public journal. But was it a
matter of judgement at all? Was it not
rather the outcrop of a constitutional predi-
lection for petty larceny, Or something of that
kind, you know.

Chamber OF Deputies He De-
nOunces the Government as
the Scum ar towards
and Wretches.

VERSAILLES, June 16.-In the discussion
on Jules Ferry's educational bill, In the
chamber OF deputies, to day, Paul de Cas-
saRnac accused Ferry of utter ng calumnies
against the religious orders and with fslsify-
ing documents. He refused to retract the
charges, and on the left voting to censure
De Cassagnac. the confusion became SO great
that Gambetsa- president of the chamber, left
the chair, closing the session for an hour. De
Cassagnac continued speaking after the gall
leries had been cleared, amid great confusion.
The chamber of deputies ON resuming its
sitting voted to exclude De Cassagnae from
the chamber for three days. De Cassagnac,
replying to the vote of the house, declared
that the present cabinet was infamous.
Gaubetta threatened him with prosecution.
The sitting was again supended and the de-
bate ultimately adjourned.
LONDON, June l6.-A correspondent at
Paris, describing the scenes in the chamber
of deputies, yesterday says: "Many mem
bers of the right rushed toward the minis
terial bench. Dariste called Minister Tirard
a coward and there was personal collision
between them. Blows were also exchar ged
between Routine and Jean David. De Cas-
sagnac, after the censure of the house was
pronounced upon him, declared the govern
ment the scum Of towards and wretches.
The Soir announces that explanations have
passed between Gambetta and DE Cassagnac,

Miss EMMA ABBOTT, the well-kuown
opera singer, who, IN common with many
others of her sex, cannot believe that Mrs.
Smith and her paramour, Cove Bennett, are
guilty, as charged, of the murder of her hus-
baud, volunteered to give a concsrt 70 raise
one thousand dollars, Inc amount necessary
in the christian and free State of New Jersey
TO take an appeal. A few hours reflection
convinced the good little soul that, Sc the un-
Fortunate couple were sentenced TO be
hanged on the twenty-fifth of July, she
did not have time, and, therefore, could
not risk the chances of success, so
she determined to try Wall street. Down
anon 2 the "bnlls" and 'bears'' she went, and,
Just as she hoped, found sympathy, collect
ing IN less than four hours one thousand and
five dollars from the following named gentle
men: Judge Hilton, $500; Jay Gould, 800;
George G. Lake, 500; Charles Osborn &
Co., 500; Hatch Il Foote, 500; Alonzo Fol-
; lett, $685. 3. Buckwalter, $50; Prince &
Whitley, $25; "Wall Street," S25; Robert
eating, $25: John d. Townsend. $50; s. V.
White, SO; Emma Abbott, 800. This gol-
den deed by plucky little woman enables
two uniortuuates that majority Of
the people of Ne~ York anc
f New Jersey believe to have been
prosecuted by the judge and unjusty con
+ vic.ed by the jury to indulge in another slct
of Jersey justice. Besides Miss Abbott, theJ
are also indebted to Rev. Mr.. Rice, an Fps
. copal minister, Of Jersey City, who has beer
unremitting in his efforts IN behalf of tht
condemned.

THRoUGH the New York Tribune we learn
of another golden deed by an American, who
this time happens to b9 a man. As the
Tribune says, the story is as touching as that
of Ellie Deang. 1t runs thus: "A pretty
servant girl named Wade, in Lincoln
shire, England, was betrayed by a
young clerk about year ago, and
forced TO return to the home which
she had disgraced, with her child. The old
tragical story followed step by step. The
cowardy scoundrel who had ruined her re-
fused to marry her, but would not give her
NJ. The poor girl, loving her baby passion
atel5, had scant sympathy for it or
herself from the sisters and brothers on whose
decent name she had brought faint. Her
mother, a hard-woIked woman, who had
brought up fourteen children honoraby,
wanted to send the wretched babe of shame
to the almshouse and its mother out again
to service. Nobody had a kind word for
her but the cold-hearted villain who refused
to give her the only help possible. So the
weak, fond creature made up her mind that
there was no place here for her or her baby,
and so poisoned it aod herself, FIRST writing a
pitiful letter OF farewell to the man who
had cursed her whole life. The babe died.
but the mother was rescued to be tried for
murder She was found guilty and sentenced
TO be hanged. and nobody in England, APP
parently, concerned themselves about her.
But a young American physician in PARIS,
DR.. Albert ]. Leffingwell, who it appears
is making insanity a special object
of study, reading an account of the
case in the new papers, and believing
on scientific grounds that the girl was not a
responsible agent, wrote an appeal so rea
sonable aud so urgent TO the Home secretary
on her behalf, that he received a letter stat.
ing that in consequences of his application the
case had been carefully revised, and the sen.
tence OF death com muted to that OF im.
prisonment for one year" As the Tribun,
we'll says: "Dr. l.. iiingwells's good deed
doubtless brings IFS own sufficient reward tC
him. But II Is only just that he should hays
credit for a noble, intelligent action among
mis- own countTymen."
