Distinction With the Pistol.

The Madrid correspondent OF the farls
Gaulois has had an interview with Otero
in prison. According to his statement,
the culprit had no aecomplices, and was
driven to attempt the lives Of the King
and Queen Of Spain purely by mad
despair, brought on by want. OF course,
it remains to be seen how far he speaks
the truth. Meanwhile, I subjoin the
most interesting portion Of the CONVERSE
ton that took place between the CORE
spondent and the prisoner:
"COrrespondent-It wassOme friends OF
yours who prevailed upon you to make
the attempt~
"Prisoner-No; it was an idea which
came into my head all of itself"
Indeed! how so?' "Despairing of
everything in this life, l wanted to end
it by some atrocity."
I'm that case you have gained your
end; but did you not reflect that you
would be condemned for itw "Oh, yes,
l know it. But that did not frighten
me. l staked my life. Let them take
it if they like" .
At this moment, says the correspond
ent, the prisoner began to smile, and
Otero's face wore an expression of hope
full innocence. Observing this, the cor
respondent exclaimed:
"What! You have not lost all hopep
"Prisoner-Ohl dear, no. I am not at
all alarmed. 1t will be all right"
"It will be all right" is evidently Ote-
ro's favorite expression, for the CORE
spondent Of the Gaulois asserts that he
used it at least ten times while speaking
to him. After this frank avowal that he
expected to escape at least with his life,
the correspondent proceeded with his
questions:
"The revolver you shot with was given
you, was it notw
"No, I bought it." b..
"Was it to commit suicide with, since
you were tired of lifeT'
''The idea never came into my head.
"Why, then, did you fire at the King
| rather than at anybody else% Zone
day, when was in wine shop, I had
said that / despaired Of everything, and
some one present answered me by say
ing, Then fire at the King This kept
ringing in my ears, and I bought pis
tol without exactly knowing why. A
voice seemed to prompt me-'you must
do something great l was then at the
Puerta del sol, and the King was just re
turning from q drive. AT that moment
in obedience to some strange power,
ran by the shortest cut and arrived Al
the palace gates before the King, which
was 30 much the easier because tht
Kings horses were obliged to walk or
account of the slippery state of the
roads. took up my position behind tht
sentry box, and when Alfonso arrived
fired two shots at him. was immedi
ately seized, but did not offer any re
sistance. To tell the truth, ! do not re
member what took place. ! was mad fo
the moment" .
| Tf you could have second opportuni
ty would you make second attempt OF
the Kings lifew
"Oh, certainly not. But ! am, per
haps, but an instrument in the hands o
Providence" -.,- ,.
The correspondents asserts that Oter'
persists in affirming that he alone wa
guilty Of having conceived and Of havinI
perpetrated the crime, and he adds tina
after his conversation with the prisone
he left his cell almost convinced that a
the moment he committed the crime h
was prey to state of mental excite
ment bordering on madness.

HIN doc Merchants,

Mrs. Aynsley Id her book about Hindostan
says: AT Ulwar the political agent wished to
plant an avenue OF trees on either side OF the
road In front OF the shops for the purpose OF
giving shade, and had decided to put In pee
pul-trees. which are considered sacred by the
Hindoos; but the bunniahs Tor native shop
keepers) one and all declared that II this we're
done they would not take the shops. and when
pressed for a reason replied that 1t was be-
cause they could not tell untruths or swear
falsely under their ehade, adding, and how
can we carry on business ethefwiseg The
force OF this argument seems to have been
acknowledged. as the point was yielded and
other trees have been planted instead.
A few days later, when we were at Delhi, l
had an opportunity of assuring myself OF the
correctness Of this anecdote. A Hindoo
merchant brought some goods for sale to the
bungalow where we were staying. His wares
being very dear I said to MIN: Would you
ask 50 much II you were standing under a
peepul-tree?' He replied, NO | rejoined,
Suppose yourself in that position and tell me
what, under those circumstances, would be
the price OF the article l require2' The mer-
chant at once named . lower and, / believe, q
correct sum-"
