TRANSATLANTIC TOPICS.
No Truth in the Report That the O'shea d.
| vorce Case Will BE Reopened.
LONDON. Dec. 23.-Now that the Kilkenny
election is over and the excitement attending
that first trial Of strength between the Irish fac
tons is dispelled all are looking forward with
the deepest interest to the meeting OF Parnell
and OBrien in Paris. O'Brien is acquainted
with Mrs. O'Shea, who will also be in Paris
| having already arrived there, and who may, it
is thought, have something to say il behalf of
Parnell. There is no foundation whatever for
| the report that the queens proctor means to
reopen the O'Shea divorce case. The only pos
| sible ground for such an action in view Of the
| evidence would be collision and it would do
Parnell no good to testify to that while ut the
same time should such claim be successfully
| lnterp0sed 1t would make it impossible for
Parnel to marry his dear Kate" as he
| habltually calls her. and would leave her in
| condition worse than divorce or widowhood
| 1t is understood that at the coming conference
In Paris the question will arise Of the DISPOSE
| ton OF the funds now locked up from the Uses
| OF the National League and an effort will be
| made to arrive at common ground as to the
disposition Of the money.

Of Eyraud, the stranger of Gouffe. 1t is gener-
ally felt that his companion, Gabrielle Bompard,
| was the greater criminal of the two and the
| fact that she was let off with term Of impris-
onment while Eyraud was doomed to the gull
lotine, has aroused feeling of protest against
| the apparent injustice of the verdict. This
| sentiment is strengthened by the news that
only five out of the twenty jurymen were at first
| inclined to give the woman the benefit of ex-
1 :" Gtnr fhnrr frh Tho thnro
| finally consented to take that view of the case
| The theory of hypnotism has also been dis
proved to the satisfaction of the public, and
| the belief that Eyraud was the tool of modern
Lady Macbeth in the person Of the wicked Ga
brielle finds more and more wide acceptance
1t is possible that new trial will be granted.
and in that case it il doubtful if the verdict of
| the late trial will be repeated. The latest Par
| isisn novelty is small model of the trunk
| which figured in the Gouffe murder case as the
receptacle of the victims mutlated body. 1t is
| puzzle to open the trunk. and when the ex-
perimenter has overcome the difficulty. the lid
| flies open. and he is rewarded by the sigh. of a
leaden image OF the unfortunate police no.
