TRIED SUICIDE FOR LOVE.

FTom the London Telegram.
Gentlemen have before now attempted to
put an end to a miserable existence because
ladies whom they desired to wed had the
Wretchedly bad taste to marry somebodv
else, aud ladies have been known to return
the compliment in the case of gentlemen.
But for one lady to contemplate suicide be-
cause another female Is engaged to be mar
ried, and to a total stranger is something of
new departure. The strange case Of Leo
cadie Rhone, young Belgian woman, and
MISC Parkinson, which came before Sir
John Bridge at Bow street police court.
seems to show that there is still some ro-
nance left in the world. Here aye two
maidens who vowed solemnly to each other
tnat II either were to become engaged the
other would at once kill herself The ar
rangement appears a triAe one>sided and,
moreover, is faulty because the punishment
falls on the innocent party.
The remarkable point about it is that the
Belgian damsel-who at the age of % ought
to have got rid Of much of the sentimental
ity OF youth-really took the vow seriously.

Brussels with loaded revolver. in order to
carry out the fell design on her own life.
Why she troubled to come over to England
at all is not apparent. A few words Of
kindly advice from the magistrate induced
the too excltable Belgian to return 10 her
native shores, and also 90 promise not TO do
herself any harm. Evidently her whole
grievance was that, in accordance with her
vow, she had neglected several good offers
or marriage. She bad now better initiate
