TERRIBLE DRAMA IN PARIS.  A MADMAN'S MURDEROUS CAREER.  A terrible drama was enacted•recently at 41, Rue de St. Petersbourg,, in Paris. About a week tip Jean Saniede, a coachman in the employ of M. and Madame Poitevin, inhabiting the first-floor apartment, had a sunstroke resulting from washing the carriage bareheaded in the sun. Every care was taken of Sausede by his employer. In orderthat he should want for nothing, and be better attended to, he was, on the advioe of the doctor, brought down from his room at the top of the house, and installed very comfortably in a room in his master's apartment. His condition had so greatly improved that it was expected he would be able to resume work in a few days. At a little after fora o'clock on Monday afternoon Seaside suddenly jumped oat of bed, and, in a fit of raving madners, seized a hatchet which he had found in the pantry. Clad in nothing but hisnightgown, he rushed about the apartment, screaming and slashing ut everything lie found in his way. Hearing the uproar, Madame Poilevin, whoie husband was absent from home, came out of the room and tried to calm the madman. Sanande, without recognising her, went on slash' ing away, and wounded his mistress very seriously I with four terrific blows on the head. She fell to the ground, shouting for help. By this time several persons in the house had come to try to disarm the madman. Rushing upon them; Jean first struck Josephine Bon two blows on the bead with the hatchet, and then slashed open the cheek of the concierge and eut off two of his fingers. The screams of the victims and the shouts for help of those who witnessed this terrible scene only increased the fury of the madman, who, throwing down his weapon, seised Engonie Deasy, the cook, in his arms, and carrying her, jumped out of the window into the courtyard. Fortunately, the apartment was on the first floor, otherwise the madman and the cook would have been killed on the spot. As it happened, Engfnie Decay was seriously injured. Iler head was cut open, and she was vary much bruised and greatly shaken. Jean Sanzkle was scarcely hurt at all, but, strange to say, the fall had the effect of rendering him per' trolly calm and docile, However, he did not seem conscious of what he had dons, and was greatly , astonished at the commotion of the people around him. He was taken back to his bed, and watched by two policemen till he could be transferred to the Leribeisidre Hospital. The condition of two of the I madman's victims, Madame Poitevin and Engifinie Dressy, is very critical- l'he wounds of Josephine Bon and of the concierge are less serious. Since he reached the hospital Sanabdelma been perfectly calm.  HAVE You TUBE BI7DDEN'S BALSAM OF Hoannocim. AND Clownieoor ?—lt is the beet known remedy tor Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis.
