A VITRIOL FIEND.
A Ferocious Woman Creates a Scene
in Court.
Paris Special.

Paris Special.
A very startling scene of vitriolic elo-
quence at the Palas de Justice has
caused u flutter of excitement in the
legal profession. The judge and advocates
were about to proceed with the trial of a
case concerning the seizure and sale of a
small cottage at Montreuil belonging to
Mad. Laisier. pretty widow. NJ. CALAIS,
an agent, had been deputed by group of
Mad. Laisiers creditors to effect a judicial
sale of the cottage for the benefit of her
creditors. NJ. CALAIS stood in the left corner
of the audience chamber surrounded by sew
eral lawyers when Mad. LaiSier suddenly
walked up to him, and opening a small
basket that she held in her hands, took
from it bottle of concentrated vitrol and
threw it at the astoniShed commission agent
NJ. CALAIS shrieked and yelled with agony,
and fell senseleSs on the floor. His face
was fearfully burned and both eyes were
destroyed. His clothes were so carbonized
burned paper. Maitre Duclos, who stood
next to NJ. CALAIS, had his right ear burned
off. Seven other lawyers were disfgured.
and the woodwork of the audience cham
Der was covered with the terrible liquid.
NJ. CALAIS was carried to the Hotel-Dieu
hospital.
Mad. Laisier was seized by a gendarmes,
who found in her basket another bottle of
vitrIol and loaded revolver. Mad. Laisier
managed to seize the revolver and placed
the muzzle in her mouth, with the intention
of committing suicide, but the gendarmes
were too quick for her and prevented her
from firing. Upon being questioned by the
judge, whose clothes had also been sprinkled
with vitriol, she said;
Il determined since yesterday to vitriol-
ize NJ. CALAIS, who was about to sell my cot
tage and deprive me of my only home, al
though he has in his hands plenty of money
to pay all my creditors. only regret that l
didn't kill him. +"

stories of sagacity in dogs has been

Cross Hospital, writes to the Times
of Wednesday to say that at half

admitted he limped in, squatted on

to do so, on the chair, and again
held out the injured paw. it wns

lsuectntor 18th pecemberl

Some change, no yet p~erceptihle
to Europe, has taken place ~ the
ideas of the men in power i'll Pekin.
Last week it was believed that Lord
Granvillc's effort 10 mediate between
France and China Ind succeeded, and
that an agreement, based on the @tS
prssidefis, ueu;d speedily be signed.
under this arrangement China would
have retained the frontier fortresses
of Tonquin, which are of little i'm
p%ortance during peace, and France
would have retained Kelung and its
coaI-m.nes, which she really wants.
ON Wednesday, however, ii was Off
cially announced, both in London
and Paris, that negotiations had
beer broken off under orders from
Pekin, and it was suggested that the
Chinese had received good i%ntelli-
gence from Tonquln. That is posi-
Bile; bu, it is more probable that the
Chinese statesmen have resolved TO
make one effort with their lr"nclad
Fleet. If they can defeat Admiral
Courbet and raise the blockade ct
FormoSn, they are masters OF the
situation. for they car cut off France
from Tonquln; and if they ARE de-
feated, very little is changed. Their
Fleet will have disappeared but IN
Ironclad Fleet which will not or can
no meet it's enemy in open water Is
very costly plaything, and may as
well be lost as not. The French
will be no nearer Pekin.
On Thursday, NJ. Ferry officially
announced the rupture with China I"
the Senate, and II singular scene &C
CURED. Marshal Canrobert did not
venture to derrccate further war,
but minated quietly his belief that
General Brierr De l'INle, in supreme
command m Tonquin, was nj pre-
sent reduced to stand upon the de-
fenSivc. NJ. Ferry peremptorlly
denied this, and declared that, if the
troops were not advancing, it was
in consequence Of his W orders.
At another moment III lHc o0""l',
moreover, he declared the pause III
Tonquin TO be Intentional, and that
as his moderate policy did not sue

understand how the Government
Intended "to respond to their lesIIi-
rate Impotence" All this points
TO some sharp blow TO be struck at
China, and as it is quite certain that
General Briere de l'Is)e cannot strike
it, if only from the difficulty Of tra-
vprSing the distances before him, NJ.
Ferry must intend to use the Fleet,

The Under-Secretary for the Colo.
MES on Thursday explained the
slaughter of the coolies in Trinidad.
His account makes the affair better,
but proves the necessity for the IN
dependent inquiry which is at once
tobe instituted. 1t appearsthat as bands
of coolies quarrel with each other at
the Mohurrum, they are forbidden by
statute 10 enter the town OF San
Fernando. They were fully warned
of this, but nevertheless on Oct. 31st
a thousand coolies, armed with cut
lasses and clubs, attempted to force
their way into the town They were
repeatedly warned, and the Blot Act
read but they nevertheless persisted,
and the police and soldiers then FREQ,
killing thirteen and %wounding eighty
nine men. The 1n>pector-Snperin-
,endent of Police reports that, but
for firing. his men would have been
overwhelmed. 1t is, of course. right
to support a statute, If resisted, by any
needful use of force; but The officer
deputed to investigate should inquire
not only whether the coolies under
stood their orders, but whether they
were armed. Direct resistance to
police orders when soldiers are yisi-
BILE, is under most circumstances the
last thing natives of India would
think of; and, though no doub' riot
ers occasionally use sticks freely,
firing on a mob is in India the rnresl
of events. A dozen mounted men
would have settled the matter with a
4enth of the loss of life.

The case Of the two men belonging to
the yacht "Mignonette", who were accus'
ed at Falmouth of numbering and eating a
boy named Parker in a boat ON the high
seas, came on before the Queens Bench
Division on Thursday. The case had been
tried and a verdict given but the presid-
ing Judge consented to refer a legal diff

hut 1t amounted to nothing except the
plea hat they acted in self-defence, which,
as against the victim, they certainly did
not do. He was not starving them. The
Court, therefore, unanimously adludged
them guilty of murder, n minated that
the sentence must be death, though they
postponed the delivery of the sentence and
of their reasons for it until next Tuesday.
The argument for the prisoners was so
weak, and the law so clear, that MIR.
Baron Huddleston has been censured for
not passing sentence at once but he was
probably right. The conviction that
such murders are justified by the law OF

inexplicable; but of its existence there is,
unhappily, no doubt. Even now, probably,
