An Extraordinary French Trial.

Paris is making merry over an extraor.
dinarv trial, in which the prisoner, work
man named Lecouty, has just been COIL
demned to five years imprisonment for
bigamy. Lecouty, it appears, is Jealous
angler, and his pursuit of the gentle craft
led him to make frequent trips to Alfort~
vile, where he became acquainted with
Levanneur, an inn-keeper father Of a
handsome girl of eighteen. Lecouty con-
ceived violent passion for the young
woman, and, representing himself as pos
sessed of an ample fortune, succeeded In
obtaining her parents consent to their
marriage. His wife, with whom he lived
in Paris, got wind of the Irritation, and,
her suspicious having been aroused by the
unwonted sp]endor with which he arrayed
himself on the day fixed for the wedding,
she followed him to Alfortville, and
pounced down upon the company as they
were enjoying festive dinner after the
ceremonies at the marie and the church
Lecouty was knocked about by Levan-
neur and the guests, who told him to
throw himself in to the Seine or to stab
himself with the knife which they forced
into his hand, both of which suggestions
he discreetly ignored, and they were pur-
suing him down the road when the driver
OF LHe CSaT W ulCL lIe iltatl ulieu lOI CAc Ot'J
created a diversion against them, by
raising hue and cry, and before the
threatening aspect OF the mob they were
compelled to withdraw. Lecouty, left
alone with his lawful wife, persuaded her
to forgive him; the pair proceeded to Il
neighboring village, and taking a room
for the night, tried to suffocate themselves
with pan of charcoal. But they awoke
in the morning in the best of health, and
Madame Lecouty, after telling her hus-
band that he might repeat the experiment
but that she would not, returned to Paris
She stood up for Lecouty at the trial,
and he on his side Gid all he could to melt
the hearts of the jury. But verdict Of
guilty, though "with extenuating circum-
stances was found.

A passionate love of books is bred in the
bone, and where it is cultivated to any
extent it produces a genuine and confirmed
bjblion1ania. Perhaps it looks ridiculous
to those persons who know not the charms
of half-calf and fullmorocco, or even Of
CLOTH extra, gilt-top, for they do not love
books. Books are not the life, the light,
the food, the company of those persons.
They do notspend their nights with them.
They do not seek to be alone with them,
to take them down. to turn their leaves,
to see an image of their Lucille In every
page, to peruse a tale Of love in every
chapter-TQueries.
