All the Paris journals publish more or less
fats divers, but some half-dozen OF them keep
one or two reporters al Amsricsine," with a
staff Of subalterns under them. The 'report-
or apAmericsine" has a specially OF inter-
viewing the celebrity of the hour, Of wrestling
secrets from diplomatists and statesman, aud
OF bnbing the Wallets Of kings en- voyage to tell
him what the monarchs eat for breakfast.
The "reporter PAmericaine" doubtless ar
rives at certain number OF interesting facts,
but his prose is utterly untrustworthy and too
full of his own personality to be practical.
The whole system ofrePortng and news gath

journal that gives an adequate and thoroughly
unbiased report Of a political meeting. AS for
rapidity in publishing news, ii is out of the

The lnformer's Widow.

From the st. Louis Chronicle.
The position OF the widow Of James Carey,
who will soon arrive in England, Is most I'M
envisble. 1t will require the utmost vigilance
Of the British Government to prevent her be-
ing removed or spirited away. Deterrent to
the sex as polished Irishmen may be, the
ierocity that is developed in celtic races on
policical matters, especially in those where
anything connected with "spprovers" is con-
cerned, stops short Of nothing Mrs. Carey
was the confdante of her husband in every
move Of his career From motives to increase
his chance Of safety during his lifetime she
kept secrets most damning, not only to the
lnvincibles, but also to several other secret
societies. She considers that his removal
unseals her lips, and will give the secrets to
the world at the forthcoming trial Of Ayenger
O'Donnell. 1t was through Mrs. Carey that the
mysteries OF the murder in Phoenix park we're
revealed. She found that the detectives were
at last On a trail that fairly reeked, and saw
that the gallows trap was already yAwning for
her husband. She made no delay, but visited
the Castle the. evening Of her conviction that
discovery was certain, and made terms that
would ensure her from being a "hempen
widow" Her husband had then no option.
His neck would be saved by his turning in
former; while, really, his confederates were
certain Of Marwood's attentions whether he
opened his lips OF not. He knew that the
Irish people would associate him for all time
with his wife's act, which was bound, sooner
or later, to be exposed, and on that considers-
ton only he decided to 90 the whole hog, and
so forfeited the sentence Of Sus per Coll, "
which would as surely otherwise have been
written by the Judge against his name on the
docket as it was against his co'conspirators.

Don't be a Czarina,

From Peok's Sun.
Think of a Czsrina waking up in the morn
ing and feeling OF herself to see il she was all
there, and after finding that no limbs have
been blown of during the night, see her raise
up her head in a frightened manner and look
at her clothes on the floor and wonder IL the
Nihilist he-chambermsid has net GENE to her
room in the still watches of the night and
filled the billowy waste Of garments that she
kicked of the night before, with self acting,
breech loading, fixed ammunition. She has
got to put those clothes on, and she feels that
it is dollars to buttons that when she picks up
an under garment from the floor by the table
leg, that she will be blown through the roof.
In imagination the reader can see the Czarina
crawl cautiously out Of bed, step carefully
along the carpet, with her eyes starting from
their sockets, and take pair Of tongs and
pick up a pair of ianocent drawers by the
point lace trimming and shake them, as she
closes her eyes and turns her head away in the
hope If they explode she can save her face al
least from being dis6gured, and he recognized
by the mourners. Finding this bifurcated
apparel to be free from tn. deadly bomb, she
drops 1t aud with strange forebodings takes
hold Of the short sleeved garment on the
rocking chair, with the tongs, and with her
heart in her mouth she whacks 1t against the
footboard Of her bed, demonstrating that that
too, is otloaded. The work has only jus

begun, and though relieved she feels that in
such a moment as she thinks not, something
is going to burst, and she approaches the
corset with fear and trembling. There arc
such facilities in the mechanism Of corset
for the concealment Of nihilistic documents
that her whole soul Is wrought up, and she
hesitates TO touch the thing with the tongs,
and half decides to leave the corset of, but
when she reflects that to dress without her
corset would make her three cornered, she
concludes to 20 the whole corset or none, and
reaches for It with the tongs. One Of the
hooks on the corset catches on the soap dish,
and causes a rafting which the CEarina
takes for the prelude to an explosion,
and she drops the tongs and crawls under the
bed and says her now-I-lay-me, but on find
ing that II is false alarm she crawls out and
tackles the corset again, and by banging 1t
against the headboard Of the bed finds that il
has not been tempered with. Then she fishes
her false teeth out OF tumbler with button
hook and examines them, takes her hair up
with hair pin and looks il over, takes the
tall stockings by their suspenders, and nops
them against the wash bowl to see II there is
any Christmas present Of dynamite in them,
kicks her shoes across the room and awaits
the expected explosion. On finding all Of her
clothes free from Nihilisic docu vents, includ-
ing the pockets OF her dress, which Nihilist
couldn't find to save him, she puts on her
clothes with feeling Of contentment that Is
only broken when she goes down to breakfast,
expecting that the musk melon contains q
giant powder cartridge, the coffee has strych-
nine In II, and the rolls are loaded for bear.
II must be fearful life Of anxiety to be a
Czarina, and we hope no American queen will
ever sigh for position which will make her
turn gray in a single night.

Enough is now known of the weaths,

and of the Atlantic cyclone which
ragged on Saturday eff our Middle

to the theory on which the prophecy
was apparently based. Though no
storm distinctly appeared in the Gulf
on the 9th. as was predicted, the
weather prophet may console himself
with the fact that one OF great iuten-
