ALICE DAY'S STORY.  Alice Day, the ballet girl who was in company with Henry Wainwright, the Whitechapel murderer, on the eventful day of his arrest for the crime for which he has suffered the extreme penalty of the law, has given to the world an autobiognaphy. Houbting the veracity of Alice Day's statenmpts, Ind learning that Mr. Henry Montague, a Healpier's Circus, had been in Glasgow. at tine time when Alice- Day alleged that she had been here in connection with Quaglieni's Hippodronte, we (Glavow -Yews) made inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining whether any additional particulars could be obtained as to her exploits its the equestrian line. At an interview with the son of the circus manager mentioned, Mr. Quagiieni stated that he had been with his father when he made his last appearance in Glasgow. He had seen the report of Alice Days experiences in Glasgow in connection with his father's circus, and it was not true. His father never had a hippodrome in Glasgow, and never had an entertainment of any kind on the green. The story of Alice Day where she speaks of having been in danger front a lioness in his father's concern- was untrue. His father never had a lioness in Glasgow. There was likewise no truth in the account given of the balloon ascent. In her autobiography Aliee Day has called herself "Senorita Soltanelli, the renowned equestrienne," but no person of that name had ever been connected with his father's establishment. In the alleged autobiography his father had been called " Pat Quigley," and it was further stated that he was known to fame as "Signer Quaglieni." The first statement was most untruthful. His father's name by birthright was Antonio Quaglieui, and he was never known by any other. He had now retired, and was living on his estate, Corso Quaglieni, Brescia, Italy. His people had too touch respect for him to call him "Pat Quigley." So far as his father's name was eoncarped, Alice Day's story was absolutely without foundation, It was false in every particular. From what Mr. Quaglieni has stated, Alice Day's autobiography, as far as Glasgow is concerned, loses a vast deal of its Interest; and if, judging from the above-information, the remaining incidents of her life are equally authentic, the work which she has given to the world deserves a Fminent place in the standard library of modern  The seven rattlesnakes of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris have all died of cold this winter.
