TIE JUDG EENT OF PARIS

Paris has new heroine sufficiently startling
and boodthirsty to satisfy its morbid cravings
for novelty and gore. Madame Hugues the
wife of one of the Deputies, has been persist
emily DETAINED by VI. Magnln, another member.
Two wears ago she sought redress in the courts,
hut owing to tho delays of the law and the
dlatory motions and quibbling of her
defamer's counsel she was denied the satisfac-
tion of having the original sentence of impris-
onment for two years enforced. Meeting her
malignant enemy ut the entrance OF the court
If Justice, she suddenly resolved to take the
law into her own hands and made Il murderous
assault upon him with revolver and dagger. NJ.
Magnin, according to the latest accounts, Ia sui
alive, but apparently his recovery Is hopeless
Madame IIugues, meanwhile, has become the
idol of the capital. Every day she receives IN
her cell hundreds of congratulatory dispatches
and bouquets; the press contains eloquent
recitals of her hcrosm in nursing the sufferers
from cholera at Marseillcs; and everybody
takes il for granted that she will be trlum-
phantly acquitted whether her victim dies or
RECEIVERS While posing before the pnDlIc hi
this heroic attitude she employs herself IN tho
artistic recreation of modelling in clay. mo
doctors and lawyers, meanwhile, are counting
the chances of NJ. Magnin's turning out very
cold clay and furnishing the most conspicuous
specimen of her handwork. And her husband
seems to enjoy the situation almost rs much as
sensation-loving Paris
Madame IIugues can safely DO left to the
tender mcrcics of the jury Let her victim
fate be what it may, she will never suffer io'
her sudden aud uncomfortable outburst OF muir
