Q special mark for the attacks Of q Carl
caturing paper called the Maruyo, OF which
. certain Thadeo Alves De Amorim was
editor. Finally on the 18th instant the at
tack eliminated in an attack upon Mackay's
mother, and in q scandalous assertion OF
his own intimacy with two respectable
ladies. Mackay was seated in the theater
ON the evening OF the 10th when Amorim
passed and scraped his feet on the floor to
draw his attention. He looked ct the

fired four shots, three OF which struck;
but as Amorim ducked it produced only
superficial wounds. Amorim then drew q
pistol and fred, but the pistol was seized
by q bystander, whose hand was severely
mangled by the charge. Amorim was
taken out to have his wounds dressed, and

PARIS, May 26.-It is officially announced
that Victor Hugo may be buried in Pom
theon. Before this announcement was
made q decree was drafted, secularizing
Pontheon, in order to permit of an inter
ment therein Of Hugo's remains. The date
Of the funeral remains unfxed, although
the Government desires to have it take
place next Saturday. NJ. Rene Goblet will
deliver the funeral Grafton. Five hundred
Populations have already intimated their
intention to attend the funeral. The rev.
ol~utionists OF France have determined to
take advantage of the event to make q
demonstration Of triumph. The attitude
assumed by the revolutionists since the
withdrawal Of military and police oppo.
sition to the Communist demonstration Of
Monday provoked such q bitter feeling
among the law and order class that the
affair, il is believed, will now lead to an
important debate in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties. Many suppose that one result OF
this debate will be an attempt to overthrow
the present ministry.

after q long and stormy debate concerning
the Pere La Chaise riots on Sunday and

Communists yesterday, voted its confidence

Four thousand men, including members OF
| the Municipal Council, to-day followed the
| coffin containing the body OF Charles
| Amoursux, q Communist leader, to his
| grave in Pere La Chaise Cemetery. There

tending the funeral displayed the red flag Of
the Commune in the cemetery, and this
