The Petit Parisien' says: Nine IIongworth
with the grace of a true Parisienne gave ner-
vous shake TO her skirt. adjusted her straw
nat tipped TO the front according to the latest
FASHION. There was no trace of fatigue on her
bright, fresh face she daintily alighted on
the platform. She is exceedingly captivating.
Her countenance has an expression of graceful
refinement blended with shrewd, sly, good nat
ured humor, and her attractive face finds a
delightful framework in her luxuriant locks
OF blond hair These paragraphs taken from
to-days newspapers supply the keynote of the
impressions prevailing here. Several journals
alude TO the happy augury of the presence at
the railway station OF Mrs Longworth's brother
in-law, Count De Chambrun who in his uniform
of captain of the French artillery appropri-
ately kissed his sister-n-law's hand. a gesture
which is spoken of as an additional bond of
good fellowship between the two republics.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT DISCUSSED.
BY a singular coincidence. at the same mo-
ment the Douma adopted the resolution abol-
ishing capital punishment in Russia the French
Chamber Of Deputies discussing the same
subject. the prevailing opinion here being that
the bill for that purpose, introduced by Joseph
Reinach. will eventually be adopted. although
perhaps in a slightly modified form. and 1t is
said TO be strongly favored by NJ. Clemenceau
and the Radical majority. Thus NJ. Maujan,
writing in the Radical" deals with NJ Rel
nach's bill and points out that the Senate has
voted the aggravation of penal servitude for
life in the event of the suppression of the death
penalty, this aggTavation to take the form of
solitary confinement for six years before the
convict is transported. NJ. Maujan opposes this
decision. THE infinite is the infinite" he says
There is no need to add anything to it, The only
explanation of the pleonasm must be the hope
of effecting economy. for solitary confinement
generally kills its before six years have
elapsed"
