"PlOn-PlOn's" Burlesque-Eugenie in
Paris-The Republicans and the Roy
alists-LOyal BOnapartists.
PARIS, Jan. 22.-The Empress Eugene
has arrived here.
It is again rumOred that the Senate
will be constituted court for the trial of
Prince Jerome. According to the latest
intelligence, the government will adhere
to it's bills against the ROyalists. The
Right, the Radical Left and the Extreme
Left are determined to oppose the passage
of these measures, while the Republican
Union favor a compromise. 1t is believed
that the government is only disposed to
accept an amendment depriving princes
who may be expelled of their rank and
political rights.
In the Senate to-day, NJ. Waddington
declared that the republic was threatened
by nobody and had nothing to fear except
the faults it might itself commit.
The Paris states that the Elysee quarter
was patrolled last night because it was
feared that the Legitimistsi manifesto
would be posted. The Bonapartist mem
bers of the Chamber of Deputies have de-
eided that three of their number resign
their seats after the liberation or expul-
sion of Prince jerome, in order to allow
him to contest the seat.

Human Venom.


Policeman HeaViside,s death from the
consequences of the bite OF man, strange
though it may seem, is not without plenty
of precedent Ia medical history. Indeed,
il is well known to the doctors that man
is a very yenOmOus animal, and though
not so bad certainly as that of mad dog,
his bite is dangerous. 1t is odd that
while the human bite is often as harmless
as a cut from knife, at other times 1t is
pretty certainly fatal; and medical science
has not vet made entirely clear the cOndi-
tiOns OF this difference. One point, how
ever, is tOlerably well made out; that IS,
that the bite OF a man who is fasting is
commonly yenomOus. Doubtless the man
who bit the policeman was in this cOndi-
tion. but as he was epileptic, there were
perhaps other diseased conditions of the
saliva. Hence the bite was badly poison
GUS wound, which was apparently not
healed with proper yigor, and left linger-
ing irritation and caehexa that finally
killed the man.

grown eloquent in recounting the many ex-
cellent qualities of head and heart in his old
West Point chums, and he was actually noisy
in his dennpeiations of Atkins, Wilson, Bry-
ant & Co. for their audacity in trying
to secure their removal He said
he well remembered the old Georgia sshacks-
and stated that he was not surprised at the
oyertRrQw Of the Republican party in Geor-
gia under the leadership of such men. He
stated that Atkins had even had the audacity
to write him letter asking him to use his in
huence against the appointment of Hon. jesse
Wimberly to the vacant COllectorship of Sa-
vannah, but that he had thrown the letter into
the fire, expressing the opinion that VIM
berly must be good man to merit the i'll VIII
of such a man. He said he had great respect
for Wimberly, and all other men who
served the "LOst Cause" but he could not
tolerate a deserter. He said he never knew
how characteI1ess Atkins was until his name
was sent into the Senate for confirmation as a
District Judge. He further remarked that he
had warmly urged WImberly's appointment

After eyery snch tragedv as that uhicL

AIter every such tragedy as that which
happened in Milwaukee there is a brief
effort made to render similar accidents
impossible in the future. The effort is
generally one due TO fear of losing custom
rather than to strong desire to prevent
accidents, Probably not less than seventy
five persons were asleep on the upper
floor of the Newhall House when it took
hre, and 1t is extraordinary that any Of
them escaped. The inventive geniuses OF
the country Will do well to turn their at
tentiOn to the discovery of a method of
escaping from burning building quickly
and safely without requiring too much
knowledge of mechanical things from the
person in danger.

A New York lawyer named Henry A.
Frost has just been released after a con-
fnement of seven Years in Jail, as he al
leges, wrongfully and without a show of
justice. He was charged, among other
things, with bringing fictitious suits, and
during his imprisonment several suits in
which he was engaged have been decided
in favor of his clients, and his incarcera-
tion appears to have been entirely with
out just cause. just before his release he
rejected an offer of $4,000 if he would let
the little matter of seven years drop and
not bring suits in retaliation. He declined
to compromise, and promises to make it
very unpleasant for his prosecutors.
