francs damages for the execution Of her

Garcin was at breakfast when some OF
his men told him that Milliere had been
captured. Going at once to the spot, he
said that his orders we're to shoot Mil

husband was neither member OF the
Commune nor Of the Central Committee,
aud that Captain Garcin had no right to
take away bis life. The decision Of the
case was reserved for one week.

A New Orleans lady is in sore trou.
BILE. She feels that all her long cher
ished hopes of matrimonial happiness
are blighted and her life must henceforth
be a blank. Her name is Simkins, and
one unlucky night recently, as she was
sitting in the parlor entertaining her
idol, she discovered some insect was
down her back. She distinctly felt it
crawl. She knew it was big bug, and
probably deadly poison; but as the idol
was on the verge of a proposal, she
stood it. 1t rested for a while, and she
felt relieved; it moved just little,
though once, when she tried to touch it
with the end Of her fan outside of her
dress; but in little while she could feel
it sticking the sharp sting into her flesh.
oh" she almost shuddered. My
dear" said the idol. She paused. Ny
dear what makes you so restless" "Oh,
nothing" and she brushed at the bug.
The idol turned partially and touched
her hand. Agony the bug stung her; it
was burying itself in her flesh. She
rushed from the room and found-that
it was pin which had slipped out OF
her dress. She returned, but the idol
was gone, and has not been to see her
since.

THE FATE OF AN UMBRELLA .FIRND.-A writer in the St. Louis Globe thus pays his compliments to the ubiquitous wretch whom all pedestrians hate: The man who walks the streets carrying an umbrella under his arm, was at the corner of Fifth and Vine this morning. He stopped suddenly to speak with friend. and man behind him nearly broke the point of the umbrella off by running his eyes against it. The man swore, and the umbrella chap wheeled sud denly, tearing off young laliesback hair. He turned to apoligize, and jabbed the end of the umbrella into very tall policeman's stomach. Policeman administered jerk and the umbrella point tore off a portion ot a small boys ear, and immediately after carried the starboard corner of mans mouth up into his front hair. Stepping back in dismay at what he had done, he rammed the umbrella down bystander's throat, and at the same time he fastened the hook handle Che probabilities are that the handle was not only hooked, but that he hooked the entire umbrella) into a col ored citizens wool. In his efforts to get his umbrella loose, the unfortunate owner of it upset fruit and candy stand, and plunged headlong into one of Squire's plate glass windows. In the excitement and confusion that ensued, the umbrella was put into hack and driven to the hospital and the man was taken to an umbreIls store to undergo repairs.
