On Account of a Woman.

NoGALEs, A. t., Aug. 22.-Arthui
Presquira committed suicide by shooting
himself through the heart. He was
about 19 years old, and son of ex-Gov.
ernor Presquira of Sonora, Mexico. Be,

anti-ministerialists to the two seats re
naming untitled after Boulanger has
made choice of the constituency he will
represent. The peace of the republic has
doubtless been endangered by BouIan-
gers being brought vividly before the
minds of volatile Frenchmen, but there
is hope that tie good sense of the people
may come to the country's rescue The
Standard says Boulanger's success may
weaken the repu bic, but it cannot de-
stroy it.
The Daily News thinks the return of
the ex-minister of war may be, alter all,
q disguised blessing to the ministry, and
that it may have the effect to check the
waywardness which is the worst of vices
of the chamber of deputies, and spur the
ministers on to better attending to the
wants OF the country. IN Boulanger, as
he now appears before the country,
the ministers must see a perpetual can
didate for a cabinet Office.
The Pail Mall Gazette appeals to the
ministers not to lose their heads in the
present emergency, but admits that they
cannot fail to see the handwriting on the
wall in the increased majorities polled
against the government.
The Echo says that Boulanger is an
instrument in the hands of the Bona
partists, who seek to rebuild the empire
upon the ruins of the republic. His cleo
ton is a serious blow to Liberalism
throughout Europe.
The Star says that great, though mar
ticulate murmurs of political ard social
discomfort, shape themselves in Boulan-
gerism and its follieS.
