Wkcij ■ Gerard came back to Paris the 1 limeT, from'hia favorite-amusement-in Africa;-! he suggested to Devisme, the well-known gunmaker of the Boulevard de's Itulieris, the Idea of inventing 1 a halt that would explode when it arrived in the animal's bodyv The new projectile is about the. size of the Miutc ball; its penetrating force is equal to the common ball. Arrived in the animal's body,' it explodes like, a bomb, and, of course, causes the sudden death of the animal. If shot into the dungs of an elephant, for example, the ball in exploding disengages carbonic acid tha animal, which from its size might'otherwise ; survive for a short time, will suddenly fall asphyxiated.- Afew days ago a paity of gentlemen accompanied Si: Dovisme lo a horec slaiigh* tcr-bousejn the ; environs , of the city.

Tltc manner in which the children wore p-jisoned has been discovered, and the discover f proven satisfactorily that no criminality existed in Ibe matter upon the part of any one. A drunken, half vagabond Herman who has received the sobriquet of “Hal I’cter," from his making-rat poison, and who is in the habit of selling this poison in the shape of small rakes or wafers, to stable keepers, butchers and others, was in a coffee-house near Buckeye street day jbefore yesterday afternoon, where he became so much intoxicated'that he was ejected from the premises. He had with' him, as usual, a small box containing thc*e wafers, and ns he went staggering stung he dropped a number of them upon the pavement which the children thereabouts picked up and ate and gave to fibers. This Correct version of the poisoning affair relieves it of all i ts mystery and horror, land, to a great extent,’mars what might have been, called a thrilling item.
