NJ ne execution took place in the
most charming Of the outskirts of
Versailles. at 6 in the morning, in a
sunny break between two April
showers: the crowd was Chiefly
com nosed of women and children,
Who tbe deeapitation effected, broke
the military ranks to have glimpse
of the bloOd-stained beams and
knife. The law requires that every
narrieide shall walk the last thirty
wards TO the scaffOld, clad in a
shroud, wearing a black ven, ana
barefooted. LantZ having comphed
with these formalities, he begged
the usher not to read the sentence,
a document of four pages OF fools
cap-he accepted it as read. Deloler
the executioner, then seized MN,
the straps were fastened. the plank
lowered and shot under the half
moon. An awful stiffness, nothing
heard but the Warbling OF olrds;
then a thud; next, drop into a
basket, all within the space OF eigh-
teen seconds. The remains, placed
in a spring van, were gallOped off to
the cemetery, were let down into a
grave: two shovels full OF earth
thrown in, to conform with the SEN
tence of burial. The remains were
instantly exhumed, transported to
the medical school to be galvanized

made his usual request, that before
Operating the reporters should be
placed in a position that he could
not see them, as they made him ner-
YOuS.
A well-known but retired barriS-
ter, NJ. DIES Etangs, suddenly disap-
peared two months ago. He was
aged, and one day went out to take
his usual after dejelI1ler walk, and
reappeared no more. He had a large
sum of money on him, intending to
lodge it in the bank. Il reward was
offered to recover his remains; the
river was dragged, the mOrgue
watched, rogues bribed to give infor-
nation; the old gentleman quietly
took the train to London, with a
young lady in her teens, as nurse;
he gives every explanation to the
police magistrate respecting his de-
falcations, but begs to be excused
coming to Paris. His wife, 70years
old, has petitioned for a separation,
the date coinciding with the fiftieth
anniversary of her marriage.
The municipal council will not
have metropolis united to Paris by
rail; they are convinced cemeteries
around the city neither poison the
living nor interrupt business life.
Cremation has been rejected, save
for the diSjectG nlembTG Of the dis
secting schools.
The actors annual charity ball
came off at the Opera; it was dull
ness itself; the principal actresses
had their boxes, where they received |
admirers like queens, as well as
bouquets and bon-bons. 1t was COM
petition of rivalries; each dance was !
dedicated to atheatrical beauty, who !
for 100 francs for the fund consented |
to dance with any cavalier.
Princess Jenny Bonaparte, aged
21, was married to the poet Marquis
d. Esclapon, nine years her senior, a
few days ago; it was love match,
but united Bonapartism and legiti-
macy; the representatives Of these
parties were absent; Princess Jenny,
daughter of Prince Pierre, was re-
garded as Cinderella at the Tuil-
cries, and the royalistS disapproved
of the union. The music executed
at the church was peculiarly bril-
liant.
The authorities have at last in
sisted on the new regulations being
carried out in the theatres in antici-
patton of fire; all internal doors are
to open outwards; no movable seats
will be allowed i'll the corridors, and
in case of alarm, the municipal
guards are to take up position at
certain extra exits, to indicate to
the crowd the route to follow. All
lamps in the corridors are to be
screened
In the Palace Of Industry, the an
nual horse show is being held. The
animals are tested over hurdles and
an artificial river; one amateur fell
into the latter, and was nearly
drowned in the presence of 1000
people. Expecting a repetition of
the accident, 5000 persons were
present next day at the jumps.
An inland town has presented
the unusual spectacle of an
electoral strike. Three Rich
monds were in the field for the
office of councillor, and not a single
elector came to the poll. At the
last moment, the candidates drew
lots, the two losers voting for their
opponent.
1t mas been calculated, that if
every Frenchman who sings "To
Die for the Country" were to give
instead 1 sous, the poor would re-
quire no other relief fund. 1t is
said, Garibaldi was induced to fight
in 1870 for France, to prevent his
demanding back Nice.
