Women are not the least active
and artful among those numerous
people who live by their wits in
Paris, as he following incidents will
testify. Last evening a well-dressed
female made a desperate attack on
a lady who was travelling in the
same compartment Of a first class
carriage with her from Paris TO
Saint ermain. The lady pulled the
alarm bell, and the train, which was
going at full speed, was stopped and
the asSailnnt arrested by the guard,
but before the cars could be brought
to a stahdstill she had snatched a
reticule containing 916O from the
lady and had thrown it out of the
carriage window. 1t is believed that
, 1888-08-22

the woman was a confederate of
some of the nu r card-sharDerS,
or bOnneteurs, who infest the railway
lines around Paris, and it is quite
probable that the booty flung out Of
the window was picked up by her
friends. The other instance Of
feminine craftiness and c~riminaIity
was of n more peculiar character.
Last week a good-hearted widow
Madame Cerlsier by name-was
visiting Il cemetery, when she observ-
ed an eIegantly-attired lady kneel-
ing before a tombstone and sending
up piteons walls TO heaven. The
heart OF the widow was melted,
particularly when on v%enturing to
offer consolation to the magnifcently-
arrayed mourner she was told by
that person that she was the Comtesse
de Saint, R6my, and that she was
weeping for the loss of her lord,
whose name and oat-of-arms were
duly embIazoned on the tombstone
before which she kneIt. Madame
L'erisier conducted the Comtesse out
Of the cemetery hailed a cab, and
invited her newly-found acquaintance
to accompany her home. The init
macy thus begun soon developed
into friendship, Madame Cerisier
receiving a daily visit from the
Comtesse. On Saturday the lady
with The sham title, who gave her
Paris address at a good hotel, began
financial operations for the first time,
She asked the widow for a loan of
$50, stating that her banker in the
country had promised to send her
funds in a few days. The unsuspect-
ing Madame Ceri>ier opened her eS-
critoite, and produced the requisite
sum, but on calling at her friends
hotel yesterday for the first time she
was informed that no such person as
she described was known in The place.
OF course, the adventures who per
formed this peculiar "confiIence
trick" has not since been seen or
heard of.-Ibid.

out their II is>ion of mischief. We be-
lieye thntit is part of the plan ofaction
adopted by Admiral Baird, upon
whom the duty has devolved of scat
terlng his country'S enemies and con
founding their knavi>h tricks, to cut
out and capture the Squadrons Of IA
%c0mFatri0t foes, and, moreover, to do
that which, in the opinion of probes

the destruction Of their ports Of refuge,
On Sunday morning tn" squadron
more Immediately under Admiral
Baird's personal command left Mil
ford Haven for Benrlaven, on the
Southwestern Irish Coast, where it
is to be reinforced by another detach-
ment Of the home fleet, and Admiral
Rowley, with his war-shipS, steamed
away from Lamlasn, bent upon block
aiding hat portion of the enemy'S
force which was riding at anchor in
Lough Swilly, a deep inlet in the nor
thern shores of county Donegal.
These preliminary operations took
place in what is known, in maritime
~parIance, as "dirty weathcr'-so dirty
indeed, that Admiral Baird's division
of tOrpedo,b boats had to be left behind,
the risk of their laundering i'm "half-
" gale and heavily rolling sea being
too great +" justify them in quitting
their anchorage. The Arethusa AMI
the Racoon, however, in chnrge Of
these cranky little vessels, were under
orders to join the main body of the
fleet at Bantry Bay by noon to-day

ence no difficulty in exercising a
strict surveillance on the movements
OF that officer and of the splendid
ships under his direction. For the
nonce, Ireland is the country whose
salt loughs and bights in the North
and South alike harbour Britannia's
mimic foes. These latter are about
to sally forth, or attempt to do so,
from their Ravens Of safety on The
coast of the Emerald Isle, sink our
Channel elect, sweep our commerce
from the seas, and land mn invading

will be made to hinder them from car

gramme. EngIishmen are equally
interested in the work of attack and
in that of defence for in both are
engaged stately ships, gallant officers,
and Jolly Jack tars, all British to tie
core. On this occasion we wish as
we'll to the enemy MS to the home

better of the encounter, we shall be
ready to applaud the one or the other
with like fervency.-Dajy Telegraph.

Spectator, July 2lstJ

After midnight, on Monday 16 Ju-
" Mr.. w. H. Smith, without max
ing a speech, moved for leave to in
troduce a BIZ, ito inquire into the
charges and allegations made against
certain Members Of Parliament and
other persons by the defendants in
the recent trial of an action entitled
'O'D0nnelI D. Walter and another
the Commissioners TO have power to
examine witnesses on oath, to com
pei full disclosures OF all facts and
documents, and to grant certificates
protecting from all further proceed

themselves by such disclosures.

counsel if they think fit
Thereupon Mr.. ParnelI rose, in
what appeared to be great indigna-
ton, to protest against being asked
to accept or reject the Bill without
being told anything about it. IA
more mOnstrous proposition" he said,"
was never made by a Minister occu-
plying the position of the right hon

cured" And Mr.. ParneII declared
that the Government ought to insist
on the inquiry without giving him
Mr. ParneID any choice in the mat
ter. Mr.. w. H. Smith ought, he
maintained to have said,-"The
Govern ment are determined to have
this in vestigatiOn whether the honour
able Member the alleged criminal,
likes it or not,-lhe Government
will investigate the matter to it's very
source and root" He had, he de-
clared, no reason to trust the Co.
vernment, who had "made them
selves ac%compIices in these foul, SCAN
dalous, and disgraceful libels." But
he would not let the Government
back out of the investigation. In
short, Mr.. Parnell ragged violently
against the Government for offering
him a more impartial and effective in
veslIgatiOn than he had himself pro-
fessed last year hat he would eager
ly accept.
Mr.. Smiths reply was very calm.
The proper method for Mr.. ParneIl
was, he still maintained, to go to the
Courts Of Justice. Mr.. Parnell had
declined this remedy, on the ground
that he could not trust a Jury, and
he asked for a Committee of the
House of Commons. The Govern
ment do not think that at all u fit
tribunal for such a case, and so they
offer Mr.. PnrnelI one that would be
fit, though not, they think, so fit as
the ordinary Court. Further, in re-
plying to Mr.. Sexton, Mr.. Smith pro-
missed to try to submit the names Of
the Commissioners on the second
reading, and before the Committee
stage. Mr.. Dillwyn protested against
the tribunal, on the ground that it
would ''not be impartial, but would
be manipulated by her majesty's
Governmenr,"-an ~imputarion which
seems to It's to exceed the ordinary
bounds of even Parliamentary criti-
cism. A Government which should
manipulate" such a Commission
would deserve to be ~impeached and
sent to the Tower, and the Judges
who allowed themselves to he "manip-
ulated" would be as dishonourabIe
as the Government.

, 1888-08-22

The Bill constituting the Special
Commission appears 10 be drafted ON
the principles adopted in the Sheffield
case of Trade Union terrorism, when
BrOadhcad's dOings were brought 10
light. Il proposes to appoint three
Commissioners Whose names are not
yet KNOWN, probably all of them
Judges, to inquire and report upon
the charges and allegations "made
against certain Members of Parlia-
mont md other perSOns' (these last
three words are vehemently attacked
as entirely beyond the proper scope
OF the inquiry ('in the ourse of the
proceedings in an action entitled
'ODonneIl q. Walter and another"
The Commissioners are given very
large powers indeed,-to enforce the
attendance of witnesses, and examine
on oath, affirmation, or otherwise !; to
compel the production 0f documents;
TO punish persons guilty of contempt;
to issue a commission TO examine
persons abroad to hear the parties
to the case either directly or by their
legal advisers ,-these last TO have
the right to cross-examine witnesses
who give evidence which duplicates
their clients, Sand TO give certificates
which would secure any witness who
has made a full and true disclosure
involving his own criminality, against
prosecution on account of his crime.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

Editors Deaecrak
The immediate extension of the o. r.
Railroad eastward from this city, has given
a new impetus and new life 10 every mate.
rial interest about the city and Its vicinity.
How much we may profit by it, must de-
pend entirely on ourselves. II gives us an
opportunity We turn II TO profit. The
near future must answer that question.
We cannot expect TO see this city prosper
as she ought, without the active and cordial
ca. operation of all, and this must extend TO
every enterprise and business which In any
manner tend 10 It's development. There
seems to be a division In the City Council,
at this time on most important enterprise
about which there ought to be but one opin-
ion. / am informed that responsible parties
stand ready to establish gas works here TO
supply all who desire II with gas, just. as
soon as they can obtain the consent of the
City Council to lay down the mains along
the street. Their application for such priv
iieges has been pending for long time but
for some indescribable reason, 1t has not
been granted. Why Can city expect to
prosper which shuts her gates against q
public improvement of such vast impor-
tance We have most excellent system
of electric lights, but that cannot supply
the place of gas. Each Is useful in its place,
but In this progressive age no place that as
pires TO anything beyond "deserted vii
lage" can do without either. For one,
say let the Gas Company come. Give us
