JlOltHOH,
From time to time the French jour

lar as they are horrible, and the fol
lowing is a fair specimen of them :
Two partners in the wine trade were
in financial difficulties, and many angry
intevnews occurred between the par
tics. V Wishing1 to put an end to one of
these scenes, M. Descazeau was about
to withdraw from hia partncrV pret
ence, when M. Dutilbux, in a frenzy
of passion, . rushed upn hirn with a
knife, awl stabbed him ia the side.
The victim fell, and the assassin stabbed
hitustlf three or four times in the
abdomen. He then rushed up at tirs.

the kuifo opto the hilt through his

A woman employed in the house t ad
heard the noise and rushed out to
ascertain ita cau.-e just as Duploux
was falliug. His body struck her and
nlie was felled to the ground. Her
lett arm aus broken and she was other

Duploux, a young and pretty woman,

declaration of principles that wehave
seen. It would be much wier and
more patriotic if they waited until the
republic got out of its difficulty with
the Monarchists before urging their
quarrrel to tho extremity of rebellion.
According to the last accounts dis
turbances were feared in Madrid. The
troops were all under arms, and the
malcontents appeared intent upon
provoking hostilities. If civil war
breakes out between those who onght

In one of tho courts of Indiana was
recently decided a esse against a rail
road company, which recognizes a prtn
ciple aod sets a precedent which may
be valuable in the future. One Mrs.
Winscott had a ticket to pass over the
Ohio & Mississippi railroad, from Sey
mour to lirownstown. The train failed
to stop at the latter place a eafScieot
leugth of time tor the lady to gctoS
in safety. Before the train had got a
quarter of a mile away, she requested
the conductor to stop the train, which
he refused to do, and carried her eight
miles away, alo refusing to stop at
Vallonia, which was nly four miles
from Brownstown. Mr. Winscott
therefore, brought suit against the
ooispany. On the trial the court Jn
strncted the jury that the train should
have been stopped a sufficient length
of time to allow the passengers a rea
sonable opportunity to get off, regard
less of the rules or customs of the
company. On this instruction the
plaintiff obtained a verdict. Journal.
Mr. Van Dore.v Heard From.
Our readers will remember the disap
pearance in December last of Mr. J.
E. Van Doren of Brooklyn. He left
his residence on the morning of Dcs.
6, to go shooting on Long Island, since
which time he has not been seen by any
of his friends or acquaintances, al
though he has been dilligently
searched for by the Brooklyn , detect
ives. His father, Uev. L. .lI.jr.Y-an
Dorcn, of Boonton, N. Y., his wife and
many f Hands had given him up as
lost, until a few days ago, when his
father received a letter from hiin
posted at Rotterdam, Holland, , in
which the young man states that while
duck shooting near Fire Island ,his
boat capsized, his companion was
drowned, while he managed tc cling
to the up- turnedboat and was drifted
out to sea. When nearly out of sight
of land he was picked, up by a vessel
boond to Bneuos Ayres, just aa ha
became insensible from cold ai d hun
gcr. Ue was attacked by braiu fever
and was unconscious tor bte days.
Except the captain none on board
cou,d ta,k English, so that Mr. .Van
Doren could do nothing toward getting
home, until the vessel was fifty-four
days out, when, during a calm, he was
able to board an English bark bound
for Rotterdam. A long and tedious
voyage followed, but finally on May
20, the vessel arrived at its destton.
The yomg man writes that,- having no
money to pry a steamship passage,
he had engaged to return by a sailing
vessel bound lor Philadelphia, and is
probably on his way home at tha
present time. N. Y.Obstrver,
