LAW  TILE OUTRAGE ON A SERVANT  SUICIDE ON A WEDDING DAY.  A BEIDE POISONS HERSELF,  A suicide of a most distressing and dramatic i character took place sal Paris last Saturday night. A young lady .of 17, named Pauline Menard, was married that morning to M. Lecointre, 36 years of I age. At the wedding breakfast and throughout I the day, even, indeed, during the ball with which the festivities wound up, the young bride appeared I to be perfectly happy, and thoroughly enjoyed har I self, not missing a single dance. At 11.30 her-I mother conducted the bride to her apartment. Half an hour later, when the husband followed.' he found his young wife writhing in agony on the' bed. She had just strength enough left -to I tell him that she had poisoned herself with laudanum, as she had sworn to be faithful' to ano.her man whom she loved. A letter was found in her handwriting which ran as follows —" My Dear Henry,—! beg you a I thousand times to forgive me for the wrong I am I about to do you. I know you love me sincerely. I I know it was wrong of me to allow him to visit me I I love you also, but I love another to whom I have sworn to be faithful. In marrying you 1 was no 1 longer able to carry out my promise without doing j you a grievous wrong, and this I would not entertain for a moment, because you are an honourable and a good man. I commit suicide so that I shall lonly belong to death. Forgive me once more, and also ask my dear parents to forgive me, for I love them with all my heart. —PaeLeve." ti Leceintre was distracted with grief, and his reason seems to have given way under this terrible misfortune. He had to be taken home, and has since been carefully watched in order to prevent him from attempting his own life,

ECCENTRIC PARISIAN'S  STRANGE CAREER.  A SELF-ELECTED rs a.  In the literary and artistic world of Paris a few years ago there figured an eccentric personae's named Mayrena, a man about town who was generally regarded as somewhat featberimahtat He was always taring of his wonderful 111101161118 and travels in unexplored regions. This bait of boasting had contributed not A Mali 10 his reputation as an eccentric character. Oss fine day he suddenly disappeared. No one was much surprised or took any trouble to ascertain what had become of him. Several years having elapsed Mayrena reappeared as suddenly as he had departed, and , became once more a familiar NMe on the bonleyards. Now, however, his recitals were more I marvellous than ever. "You must understand," he would say to his friends, "that you are now conversing with royalty. I am King of the &clangs." Everyone concluded that the poor fellow was mad, but much to the general surprise it was found that his story was partly true. Mayrena had succeeded in penetrating into some unexplored territory beyond Indo-China, and after having lived for some time in the midst of a peaceful people, kaown as the Sedanga, he had assumed a certain kind of semi-regal authority. On returning to Paris he formed the audacious project of negotiating a tr aty with the Francis Government, placing this pseudo kingdom under the protection of France. As may be readily imagined, his proposal was treated as a joke, and greatly discouraged. Mayrena returned to his dominions, and nothing more was heard of him till the other day, when a report of his death was circulated. No details were obtainable, and it was not until the arrival of the judo-China mail at Marseilles yesterday that any particulars of this extraordinary career transpired. It appears that Mayrens had established himself on the Island of Troman, near Singapore, with a number of Chinese, Egyptians, an Englishman named Scott, and a Frenchman named Villeroy. They obtained their provisions from Singapore and from Epdase. Each member of that singu'ar fraternity had his governmental functions clearly defined. Villeroy was Physician-in-Ordinary to the King, Scott was Minister of Public Works and Chancellor of the Exchequer, his Budget being, in the outset at all events, a purely imaginary one. Their proceedings led the British authorities to suspect that Mayrena was endeavouring to convert the island into a resort of pirates, especially as his operations were coincident with certain turbulent outbreaks on the part of the Malays. It is thought that Miran& committed suicide in order to escape from the embarrassments of his position. Both Videroy and Scott had deserted him, and he does not appear to have derived any support from his so-called subjects, as, according to the latest reports, he was at the time of his death in absolute want.

At a special sitting of the Middlesbrough County , Magistrates on Tuesday afternoon aman named John Jones, of 116, North street, South Bank, was charged with attempting to take his life on the 17th Inst.

He told his son there would have to be an alteration, and after supper Robert went out. Another son named George, aged 15 years, came in after Robert had left, and was going to bed when he saw his father come on to the stair landing with a rope in his hand. He heard his father exclaim, "I will well do it this time." He saw his father proceel to unwrap the rope, and becoming alarmed he dressed, and ran down stairs into the street, his mother also running out. The had informed P.C. dlugiil that his father was going to hang himself, and then raced back home. On reaching the house be found his father had tied one end of the rope to a large nail in the wall, and the other end he had fastened round his neck, and had then slid down the staircase. The rope was drawn tight, and the boy thought his father had accomplished his I purpose, but he pluckily proceeded to undo the reps from the nail, and then unloosened the other end, which was about his father's neck. By this time several neighbours came in, having been called. by the mother, and prisonerwas got into the kitchen. After some time he regained consciousness, and it I then took the united efforts of several constables ;to prevent his doing himself further harm. He loudly declared his intention of killing himself at I the first opportunity, and ultimately on the recommendation of -Dr. James Glen prisoner was removed to the Middleabrough Workhouse, where he has been detained tutu yester. day.—Prisoner, in answer to the Magistrates, said he had workfd hard and done all in his power to do the right thing, but his family would not :waist him.

BALFOUR ON THE IRISH QUESTION.  DEFENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT.  Mr Balfour arrived in Glasgow on Monday afternoon mainly for the purpose of addressing a Con. servative Association in the evening, but yesterday afternoon he met the General Executive of the West of Scotland Liberal Unionist Association, who presented an address recording their commendation for the patriotic and courageous manner in which he took up the position of Chief Secretary for Ireland at a grave crisis in the history of the United Kingdom. Mr Patient, in reply, said he could not too clearly express his sense of the gigantic debt which this country owed to the Liberal Unionists of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It was not too much to say that without them the party to which he belonged, united and energetic though it was, would have been powerless to resist the overwhelming influence which one groat name had had upon the masses of this country. With their assistance, so generously given in the past, and promised with like generosity for the future, he did not doubt that the contest would be brought to a successful termination. He described the Unionist platform as consisting of two planks— the maintaining of the Union and the removal of I those causes which brought so many Irishmen into the ranks of the Separatists. He desired some miniature of agrarian reform. The conduct of the Gladstonians showed that the Unionists were now the sole guardians of those principles on which the dements of civilisation depended. Addressing a Conservative mass meeting on Monday at Glasgow, Mr Balfour replied to the charges made against the Irish administration. He surveyed the whole of the recent Irish controversy, which dealt with the treatment of what were called political prisoners. Homo Rule having fallen into the background, abuse of the Irish Government occupied the whole time of the Gladstoniaa-Paruellite party. A regular manufactory of grievances had been established, with Mr William O'Brien as manufacturing partner, and Mr Gladstone as head of the advertising branch. He particularly entered into de. tails respecting Mr Mandeville's condition when he e itered prison and when be left to show that he was in good health, and brought on his fatal illness by the eagerness with whith he pursued the career of Irish agitation. He denounced the manner in which Dr Ridley had been hounded into suicide, putting some blame on Mr Gladstone's party. Commenting on the evidence at the Mandeville inquest, he declared that prison treatment was more lenient in Ireland than in England, and that the whining of the Irish members of Parliament and their friends was contemptible. He was astounded at Mr Gladstone's impudence in speaking of King Bomba after his own doings in Ireland in 1885. If he (Mr Balfour) was Bombs, Mr Gladstone was Bombs the Second. He was sure Mr Gladstone's agitation would have no success.
