EVIL Islnnd Anticoati.

The island of Anticosti has always
held an. evil reputation to mariners lying
close to the course Of navigation to the
mouth of the st. Lawrence. Its long,
low shores were the scene Of many disas-
trous wrecks. and the sufferings Of sailors
who succeeded in gaining the land were
grievous and terrible from the absence
Of water and means of subsistence. Since
1t has been properly lighted its dangers
have been greatly diminished; but from
the fact of it's desolate and lonely posi-
ton and its absence of population the
island has long been the resort of char
acters who have found there refuge
from justice.
1t is evident that Of late years this
criminal population must have been
largely increased, for we now hear that
the wreck of the Idaho has been taken
possession Of by gang of pirates, up
ward of 100 strong, who have set at de-
fiance the Canadian cruiser Wakeham,
and that it had been necessary to send
her majesty's steamship Comus from
Halifax to cope with them. It may be
hoped that her operations will result in
the complete breaking up Of this gang of
desperadoes, who constitute q serious
danger to the crews of vessels that may
be cast upon the coast. = London Stand

A Cuirassier Runs Amnck.

diersw exclaimed cuirassier named
Lefranc. as with some of his comrades
in the same regiment he stopped Croi-
son, an inoffensive fantassin, in the
streets of Anglers. in which their respect
i've corps were quartered ON the evening
of the national fete. Suiting the action
to the word Lefranc drew his saber and
proceeded to attack the infantryman.
who, parrying his thrtists with his bay
onet rs best he could, drove nearly the
whole of the weapon into his adversary's
side. The cuirassier reeled and then
fell down dead. Croison returned quiet
ly to his barracks, where he was put un-
der arrest in the course of the night.
He has been tried by court martial.
His officers gave him an excellent
character. and he himself declared that
he much, regretted what he had done,
but added that his life was at stake. 1t
was ascertained that the cuirassier had
already thrashed foot soldier belonging
to another regiment on that same even
ing, and Croison was acquitted, the
court arriving at the conclusion that he
had simply acted in self defense and had
had no intention of killing his opponent
outright French soldiers always go out
with their sidearms. and their conduct
is, as a rule. SO steady and orderly that
only on rare and exceptional occasions
like the one just cited. do they make a
bad. or rather any, use of their weapons.
