Thx Illinois Senatorial question is still a perplexity. The Legislature is a tie on joint ballot. General Logan's friends claim that he will be nominated by the Republican caucus. The Demecreü are understood to stand twenty -nin for Carter Harrison, twenty-four tor Congressman Morrison, and eleven for ex-Governor Falmer. A r-Hr.E50ioGi3T called to see Mr. Cleveland list Wednesday evening. He did not succeed in feeling the "bumps" of the Presidentelect, but from observation he concludes as follows: "I find the Governor has great powers of insistance, and the bump of Beltreliance is unusually well developed; that and the organ of perseverance are the mt prominent characteristics he possesses. If his head does not belie him, he will make a strong President." The Canada Lancet publishes the observations of a Dr. Mattison regarding narcotics. He says that a fondness for one narcotic tends to excess in another; a Canadian gentleman who consulted him had taken daily for several years ten to twenty grains of morphia subcutaneously, sixty to nicety grains of chloral, and one to two pints of ol whisky. Yet the man was suffering an organic trouble of the heart. The doctor states that as a soporific for "exopium habitues," he knows of no medicine equal ta Indian hemp.

If the experiments verify present hopes, hogs and other animals may be inoculated with the virus of cholera, and by producing in then the disease in a mild form, prevent ravage by the plague In ita fatal chape. Already cattle may be inoculated for Texaa fever and plenro-pneumonla, and Pr. Reeve has the strongeet hopes of the same result with the cholera. The disease is now raging throigh Belmont County and all Eastern Ohio, thoneh practically stamped ooi in this State." RECEPTION OF THE CIVIL 8RBVICK LETTES. The cordial approval by Democrats of the letter of the President-elect on civil service reform Is sorely disappointing to the organs and demagogues of the late lamented G. O. P. How often have these pictured to the public gaze and hearing a tumultuous rush by "hungry Democrats" for the offices. They have hugged the delusion that greed for spoils and the precipitate demand for them would bring disgrace upon the party, while rivalries and jealousies would soon split it, xduch to the benefit of its rivaL But the universal commendation of Democrats who have given expression upon the letter indicates positive patriotism. Conceding a deSire to obtain the offlces bo soon as the administration can with safety make the changes, the Democracy yet desires more the thoroughly successful operation of the Governmental machinery. It is apparent now, even to the most blinded ' par tizaa who belittled tnd blackguarded G rover Cleveland throughout the caav palgne that he la a brainy, earnest, broadgs&S patriot with principle and impulses eminently fitting hira for the exalted trust to which he has been called, It must occur pretty soon to the same partisans that the party which so roundly indorse such a leader la Impressed with somelhic of Lit seat! meats. Mr. Cleveland's utterances and the pssocracj'i app latiias reception of then

stand out in resplendent contrast to Mr.

Blaine and his party. To the latter and their leader, party came first and country second. To them party was country. Bat the Democracy and Its President demonstrate that the public good is their first object SOCIETY AND DEAF MUTES. There is a matter to be brought to the notice of the next Congress by the National Academy of Sciences, which relates to, and will deeply interest friends of, the deaf and dumb. The attention ot Congress is invited through a memorial by Professor Alexander Graham Bell who, though best known for his electrical Inventions, notably the telephone, was for years an expert In the edacation of deaf mutes. It was he who practically inaugurated the system of instruction in articulation by which many of the totally deaf are enabled to talk. Professor Bell's interest in deaf mutes must be the better recognized when it is recalled that he married one of his pupils a la&ywho could neither hear nor speak. His paper, which will be laid before Congress, calls attention to the evident tendency of deaf mutes to intermarry. This tendency he shows has existed and been growing during the last forty or fifty years. He recites the accepted fact that the proportion of deaf mute offspring born to deaf mutes is many times greater than the proportion born to people at large. The reports of the Ameri can Asylum, at Hartford, and those ot New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois "show that in each institution deaf mutes have been received who belong to families containing five, six or even more deaf mutes, and there is abundance of evidence to indicate that such families are very numerous in the United States. In cases where there are five or six children in one family, all deaf and dumb, some of them marry when they grow up, and in many cases they marry persons who belong, like themselves, to families containing several deaf mutes." The partiality of the deaf and dumb for selecting partners in marriage from their own ranks is supplemented by inclinations on the part of many of them for tke formation of a deaf and dumb community. Professor Bell says of this: "The ideas originated in the action of Congress in endowing the American Asylum for Deaf Mutts at Hartford with a tract of land and afterwards developed into a number of eccentric scheues for the formation of a deaf community. Some of the pupils, before graduation, formed aa agreement to emigrate to the West and Bettle in a common place, and a number of schemes of Bomewhat similar character were .in the hands of deaf mutes in different parti of the country. The scheme that received the most approbation was one for the purchase of a tract of land by a few wealthy deaf mutes, who were la agree to sell the land in small blocks to other deaf mutes. The whole echeme ws afterwards discussed at a convention of the deaf mutes of New England, and was overthrown by the influence of several teachers, in conjunction with the most intelligent of the deaf mutes themselves. Since then the subject has not been publicly discussed, but such a scheme is favored by individual deaf mutes, and may therefore be revived in an organized shape at any time. A European philanthropist has commenced the colonization of a tract of land in Manitoba by deaf mutes, npon which there are a number of deaf mutes, with Uieir families, from Europe, and more are expected next year." Just what it is expected Congress can do t to prevent marriage or colonization of deaf Certain it is, no legislation can be had npon ; tue uiuiier. xseai ui ultra uave iuu aw mucu right as other citizens to pursue happiness, and to marry each other if they deem such marriage essential to their happiness. Professor Bell himself admits the impropriety of any attempt at legislating them out of this privilege. His suggestion for lessening the evil is tha "adoption of preventive measures, in which the grand central principle should be the retention of normal environment during the period of education, the establishment of small schools and the extension of the day school plan." We are bound to say that the proposed remedy is most nolieeable lor its vagueness. We axe unable to see that small schools or day echools will tend to make deaf mntea less inclined to marry than il they be educated as now in the larger institutions. Oar observation of their more fortunate brothers and sisters those who can hear and speak is that they lean toward love and matrimony ' no less if educated at home than in college; and the same rule will apply to deaf, mutes. We do not see what Congress can do with the question. GOSSIPING. Tbt-re are aocial evils which appear to be impregnable to assaults of whatever kind, and gossiping is one of them. One of the bt-anlies of the isolation cf the parent ccople in EJea was that thera was no gossip hetweeu them. Adam having no club nor street corner familiars and Eve not belonging to any Hewing society and having no popcallers, we may resonably infer there was a period in the history of the human family when there was no neighborhood gossiping Tie period was brief, however, until we find men and women telling tales on each other, and from that age down to the present we may read homilies and hear denuue'athns of the reprehensible practice. But gossipirg has maintained life and I as tineas, It appf are to have, like obstinacy, thrived under abuse. If the evil Is ever suppressed it must be by some other tactics than assault. It might be sncceesfnlly flanked if the hums a family would leisurely contemplate the diflerence between the tattler and the pert on whose tongue speaks no ill. There are some of the latter class both women and men. There are those who not only do not thus talk, but who fain would not hear evil spoken of any, who even will seek to distrain hurtful words. For one of these, who can withhold admiration? What a world of good is accomplished by these in voiding difficulties. It is easy for irreparable Injustice to be done a goc-l character by idle talk even when such is net intended. Dame Gossip is an arrant gad-abect, carrying palat pot and brush by which a fresh coating is put on any story with her every repetition c! it. Fron sastMax black" she has but a few calls to make to produce the ."three black crews." But for the conservative, scandal-hating element of society, the old darie would have and keep the majority ol mankind in perpetual tarmcll. A petted, only daughter of a wealthy widow wedded a young lawyer, and the two settled down to housekeeping in the town where the bride's mother resided. After two months 1 of wedded life the yoiag wiie rnshil in

agitation to her mother's house, one day,

to repeat a silly scandal upon her husband which she had just received trom the lips of a servant. Ehe had only begun repeating the story when the mother rose, standing, and pointing to the door, said: 'Leave my house, and never put foot in it cor tell any one you are my daughter aialn until you have sufficient self-respect not to listen to the gabble of servants, and to never utter a word of gossip to any one concerning your husband." Five years later the wife told har husband, for the first time, of the incident, and declared that her uninterrupted happiness during those five years was largely due to the rebuke received from her mother. The most detestable gossips are thosejwho go back and forth between persons estranged, widening the breach between them. The warmest of friends may by this process be turned into uncompromising enemies. He or she who acts the role of stirrer of strife is nothing less thr.u criminal. He or ehe who acts the part of peace maker in such premises has the expressed approval of the Divine Master Himself, he having said "they ehall be called the children of God." A notable consummation cf a suit between two well-to-do planters occurred four years ago In a Superior Court of a Southern State. The states of the litigants, each comprising a number of hundred acres, lay adjoining, and even before either owner was in possession one fence had divided them. Both were high strung, dignified men, the weak ness of each being that of inherited hot-head-edness. Through the prevarication of some sinister neighbor A was led to make some impulsive criticism upon B, which the listcrer repeated to the latter. B retaliated in kind, which A hearing of, the friendship of long standing was ruptured. Twin fences were determined on, but they could not agree upon how and where they should be run. A suit at law by A was met with a countersuit by B. For two years after the filing cf the actions continuances were had for one cause or another. When the cases were at length set, and each party had a half hundred witnesses at court,, the Judge of the Court atked if any effort had been made to have the differences between the litigants eettied by arbitration. The respective attorneys answered that co agreement could be had upon who should constitute a board of arbitration. The Judge then, ordering the attorneys to ba seated, addressed the two principals, aicg them to come forward and stand one cn either side the bench. Leaning back in Lis cbair and lookirg first one and then the other In the face as he proceeded he reminded them of the boyhood time when they three had played and attended school together; of bow their respective fathers had throuch life lived as neighbors not only peaceably, but cordially; of three graves near togsther in the country church yard, in which the three fathers were buried: cf the early manhood of himself and the two litigants when they were bosom companions and inseparable. "Gentlemen." he said, "I have always found in you both the same honorable qualities that bound me to you then; may I be permitted to settle this dispute between you without the assistanceof evidence or jury?" Both answered ye3. "I know every foot of the boundary line," he then said, "and so need none of the maps you have had made." Wh'le each looked over a shoulder of the Judge, he drew a line cn a slip of paper, made a heavy dot for a certain large oak, and directed that north from that tree A should maintain a good fence, while B should keep up the fence running south from it. "Does the decision satisfy you?' he inquired. Each I answered in the affirmative. "Mr. Clerk," the Judqe addressed that officer, "you will foot up the costs accrued in these cases and hand the bill to me ; "I propose to settle it out of my own pocket." A stepped forward and proposed that he should settle the costs, "lor," Baid he, "I brought the suit" But to this B vigorously objected, claiming that he having answered with a counter suit was entitled to pay at least half the bill. The Judge directed the cost be divided according to B's proposition, and then turning to the two he ordered, "Now, you two shake hands!" The order was obeyed, and thus harmony wss restored to a community which, through the work of evil gossiping, had been for more than two years almost in war. It does appear that men should learn to disregard mischief-making gossips. Advice to Young Men. Indeed no, my son, one man Is not as good as another. Not by a long chalk he isn't. A young man of your a?e ought to know better than to say such a thing. It is a very pretty fcit of Democratic sentiment, but it isn't true. When you have heard that assertion sfcrieked oat in resonant tones that fairly echo bacx from the clouds, on the Fourth of July, if you will follow the orator home and observe hira tlasrly, you will perceive that he didn't acd doesn't believe what be says, and be doesn't live upon his own platform. Now, don't misunderstand me. I ani not talking politic. I know, my son, that yon are a good as any roan that walks the taxtb. 1 agree with you most heartily so far. Wo are as pool other iztn. Tfie back of our hand and thfl toe of our foot to the slanderer who says we are ret. But. are other men as good as we are? That ia whern the ra?ella cornea in. That is what trie your democracy. Jnst think that over a little when jou ar fixing np your next Fourth of Jnly ratio. It will stand a errat deal of thinking over. I tell you, my ton, if all ma were really as good as each other, and wo all thought bo, this world would be too perfect to live in. You ask Mr. Blaine if one man Is ai good a another. Ask him if be thinks Dr. Burchard is as good a man as Mr. Stephen Elkins. Ah no, my boy, one man is nst as good as another. BoBKar J. Bn&cxTTx. There has been some discussion as to whether it is in good tasta to send invitations to people in mourning. J t is safe to look for guidance in all social matters in to the depths of human nature. Every one cares to be remembered, and it is safe to say that no one in mourning regards an Invitation as any intimation that their grief is not sincere, or is disposed to take exception to what in all cases is a graceful act, implying hospitality and appreciation. There are more worldywise reasons for the same view.

Conclusion of His Recent Sermon. Ills Personal Relationship to His People The Itecent Campaign The Future. I have been the only pastor of this church, which I founded, in connection with tther brethren, for now nearly forty years. More strictly speaking, thirty-eight years next October. It has been a mild pride which I Lave vaunted in the presence of iultituies that thi? church and society, made up of strong men and women, representing almost every Christian denomination on the globe, has for nearly forty years dwelt together in such a unity that it was never, in peace or In war, in controversy or in any other disturbance, necessary for me to ask counsel of deacon or trustee as to what should bs done. We have gone throHgh this long journey together without enough disturbance even to be thought of. But at last the lot of many has come to us, and there is so much trouble in the church that I think it meet to-day to talk with jou with all the frananess of a true brotherhood, and to say what I want to say about myself and to you and about the future. I don't know how extensive the trouble is exeept from the newspapers, and I don't think they know much about it either. Certain it is, I have never goce out to ask. I have never scerched out who the people are that arc discontented. It is on'y accidentally that two, three, six, eight, perhaps ten, names have been mentioned, and if there be thirty, forty or fifty pew-holders or eminent members I dont know who they are. That has not been my busin ess. Bat so much has been said that I feel bound here to day and through the gentlemen reporters present to say tithe public that there has beau vtry serious disquiet ere ated ia regard to me not in regard to my ministrations either on the Sabbath day or in the week day meetirgs, no man has whispered or thought that I have introduced into my service anything whatever pertaining to political questions; when the question of slavery was up I felt it right and prudent to discuss that wheseVer I thought it necessary, but that was a permanent thics then with a long lease of life, and in its train it carried the necessity ot education. and therefore I discussed it in the pulpit but the circle of trouble jLt now is very scj&U, and will of itself pass away inevitably in a ühort time, and therefore I held it to be r.ct lair t.cr present to vex you differing from me with any allcsion to it or any discussion cf it in the pulpit. &o far, so good. Bat I did have this view of my duty to the public. 1 felt that that gn at party which will go down to history crowned with honor for iu werk of educating the conscience of this Kation for liberty, for its great work In conducting the war to maintain the ssnclty of the union ct this Nation, that had concluded the resettlement of af laue, and taa brought the currency into proter condition and channe's my hope was that God would give it also the last bioscoming honor, and as it had po litically acd cnanciaiiy reunited the land, so it would l ave wisdom ministered to it to bring in a unity of eentiment and of love, which was the only last thine to be done. This I hoped would have been done, and I was disappointed bitterly when it was not thought of, when an entirely different series of influences had centre I, and I felt as though ezain it tad come to rass as it was it the days of Israel when that man had led them out cf E?ypi and through the wilderness. and who Lai come in sight of the promised land, was tot permitted to go over, but died in the mountain, only looting upon the premised land. As God is my witness. I would have ehed tears of joy, I would have given my life, if only the Republican party could have bad in its platform such a wel come to ths South, and have given eminent sanction tc the cordiality of that feeling by making oce of the two great candidates a Southern man, to complete the whole unity. I could have laid down my life joyfully, for then l coiid not have said ttey planted. they waUred, they nourished, and then were not wise enough to pluck the blossom ing fruit. Moses died in the mountain, and so it seemed to me it came to pass. Bat with that feeling and firm conviction, as deep as any I ever had in my life, yet after long consideration and some uncertainty. but finally deep, impelling conviction, I went into the canvass. Brethren (advancing to the front of the platform and putting his foot aown emphatically), brethren, when I go into anythine, you know very well that I don't go by halves, fApplause.1 God made me and He made me what I am. I pot whatever I had in me into the canvass. I was in earnest I was in dead earnest I threw my health, my reputation and my influence to the winds. What did I care for them if only the country might live again inabsolnta harmony? That under suoh circumstances I did everythhiBR wisely I don't say. That I made no speeches I would now regret. that I make no statements that I would now make in a better line, I don't undertake to eay. There are two things to be canfessed one on your part and one on mine. After I had been with you lor iorty years, nearly, von tmshz to have had confidence enough in me, and you ought to have had manliness enough cot to take an impetuous Fpeecli and making a spacial plea on it, draw H out Into every possible application. It was a shame for you to have done it Great applause. And now for myself. It was a Shame for n:e t; have said anything that should lead n en as good as you are and women as wise as you are into such a mistake as you ought to be ashamed of. I am ashamed of my part so far as it misled yon. On no other point am I so sensitive as that it should be supposed that I in any way undervalued the eanctity cf chastity and the parity ot household life. On that subject I will not be mistaken. Time will do me justice. Yeuoaht to have done it before there was any saspic:on or trouble in the matter. I had a right to expect a dilferent treatment from you in that matter. And let me Bay to you here distinctly, in 0 far aa my political judgment was concerned and my endeavors, I look back npon them with unfeigned aporabat:on. In so far as tbe execution of the work is concerned, I see that Ihere were mistakes, and that their were errors. I am sorry for them, and apologize for them. 60 much for Ibat Kow then, as to the future. Everything has been baid ahoat it The best men are' going to leave. If anybody feels that they caa be no longer edified by my ministrations, don't let them tneak away. I -et them come with an open face and say the truth, and they ehall go with my blessing, and my heart and prayer will follow them Go where the Lord will give you the best revelations. If any persons stay, stay in the true spirit of brotherhood. I don't care, so far as pew-renting is concerned, that (snapping his fingers) ia and of itself. I care that the church should have funds for the ministrations that it is maintaining everywhere, but it has been said widely that I am to be rebuked by the diminution of the fund. Yon can't rebuke me that way. Applause. Let me say honestly to you: 1 should be very glad to have the funds from renting as large as they were last year, pr larger, for the work's sake and for the church's sake, but if you cut them down one-half I shall eay to the trustees: "Cnt me down, too, and cut down everybody in this Church." Applause. I eame to the pastorate of this church on f 1,500. A can go back to $1,500 a year, and live happily, too. 1 Applause. II you can't aflbrd to pay that will support myself and take care of the fund myself. Applaose. Bat while I say these things I don't say them in any spirit that needs make me fear that I snail have to take this bact. Laughter. I 7 simply this: Let the pew ranting take ita own natural course, tuen we will out ear coat aocoiding to the cloth we find we hv whin

Not in irritation, but in the truest Christian manhood. I will go and will study tbe peace of tbe rhnrch in every way I can when I am cot the pastor of it Baton the other band, if the great majority cf the church wish me to stay, I wih do that and nothing shall drive me away from you. I came when young and I am yet young-old. and I will etay, and the mere question of discordant vies shall not make a defect in me a toward jou, and my support doa't trouble yourselves about tbat; I can live on a great deal less than I do now; and I dn't know but my example in coming down to a more reasonable way of living would be agssoel to many of you, anyhow. Langhter. Bat let us be manl and have a fair underStanding with each other. If you want you can have me, but you have got to receive me Dot on a pitchfork, but in the palm of yourhsnd. I have loved you, and I have always worked by love here. I never laid a pipe in my life and never will. I have never gone about to consult how to fix this, that or the other. I have left you the most absolute freedom, and I have had the most absolute frankness and trnth with you. and that sb all continue as long as I live and am among you. Ana now, in regard to all these difficulties. Everything that has hurt you or grieved you I am eorry for, if it was my fault, and fo? you, if it was your fault I may cot agree exactly as to particulars, but 1 am cor scions of my imperfections, and should be a very conceited man if I should say that I went through this campaign without making any mistake, but from my standpo nt things look one way; from yours they lc ok another way entirely. I was for votes, and a man that is a speaker and is acquainted with human nature knows that it is s great deal different when a lawyer addresses the Bench and when he addresses tbe iury. If I bad been making a speech to you I should have made it with Attic purity. I should have endeavored to square everything; but when 1 went out to counteract Ben Butler laushterl I made the speech that I thought the common people would understand and that would win them to tbe cause of truth and righteousness You must not, therefore, put your Attic scale of measurement upon my speeches too severely. I am quite willing to be sandpapered a'good deal in matters, but this I say : My general course approves my jaigment to-day, and I don't believe I nude half as many mistakes as you think I did. But for tbe mistakes I made I am sorry, and of everybody who has suffered by them I ask his pardoD. Is that enough? At any rate, there is no misunderstanding I take it Ard now one wcra more, in a little different strain. I am your servant for Christ's sake. "Servant," in the original, is "s'ave," I understand, and 1 am pervaded with the consciousness tbat no man goes up S3 fart as the man that humbles himself for Christ's sak e f or love's sake For that I am willing to be or to do almost anything but for any other reason than because 1 loye yoa, I won't do a thing not a thing. I stand on tbet trcs pel and cn that truth. I have done, I have said lust as imprudent things and done just as many of them, in the old antislavery days, bat you didn't care tben. Oh, no! Now it is different. But it makes no difieience, brethren Hew me with your toncues, but love roe; rebuke me, but love roe; difler in li aite.lv, but lore me and help me, and I will love you and will tra3t you as I have in the days gone by, and when you and I have finished our short warfare for lam admonished by the whitened be ids here that we shall very soon, one larger part of us, appear in the other life when I meet you in the presence of Jesus Christ we shall Bmile into each other's face and recognize the poorness of that life in which, while the grandeur was going on around about us, we were led to think about these little infelicities and slips of the days as the days went on. For God's sake, for Christ's sake, for the sake of men perishing in ignorance, and for my sake if I may plead the least of mo tives let us hold on our way all the purer and the stronger and the better lor the slight misunderstanding which has come over us. I need to be humbled. I am humble. You need to be humbled. I trust you also are humblfcd. Let us pray. Goo Rh the Victim of '.One ul ArteiuaH Ward's Practical Jofce. I Bloomington Eye. J "Show the gentlemen up," said Mr. Gough, and a pleasant introduction followed, after which Artemus Ward said: "Mr. Gough, I am chaperoning these gentlemen and we are indulging in a little of the sparkling, and if you do not object I will ordtr up a round for them and myself." Gough didn't object, and Ward ordered four stitT cocktails. When they were placed before the merry guests they were quickly quaffed. But one glass remained untouched. ' What is this for?" queried Uough. pointing to the extra decoction. 'Oh! that's for me," replied Ward, with a merry twinkle of his eye; "when I take a drink I always feel like another man and I always treat the other man, eee?" Each member ot the coterie, save Gough. ordered a round of four drinks each. As the last round was being carried up, the landlord of the hotel asked where in thunder all that liquor was being taken?" ' To Cough's room," replied the boy. "How many are in the room?" "Four, including Mr. Gough." "And four drinka: why the infernal old hypocrite he shall be exposed." 1 1 was the work of a few moments to Inform the newspaper reporters, and when morning came the whole city resounded with the newsboys Bhout ot "All abont Gough on a drunk." Gough boarded the first train out of the city, and has never dared to venture there since. 1I was the innocent viel! ta of a practical joke, bat the Erie people believe him to be a hypocritical old sot.

The human body Is mcch like a gwd clock or watch in its movements; if one goes too slow or too fast, so follow all the others, and bad time results; if ose organ or set of organs works imperfectly, perversion of functional effort of all the organs is sure to follow.

HOMIClbE KEWtBDEV WITH ISDOl'KDEU I'OPULaRirV. MA KANE CLOVIS-HC,HES, MADE A HEROINE IX VEAJfCK AND I.NVITED TO BECOME AS ACTKESS IK AMERICA, HKCAfSE SHE KILLED A SLANDERING IT.IVATE DETECTIVE, The most popular woman in Taris to-day is Madame Clovis Ungues, who shot a private detective named. Morin under circumstances which are repared by leading people in the French metropolis, as well as by the masses, as justifying her terrible deed. She is the wife of a poet and Parliamentary deputy, sent to the capital by citizens of Marseilles. Her life has been exceptionally fortunate and happy. A native of the south of France, she possesses the highest type cf beauty developed under sunny 6ktes. Her ficure possesses perfect prace and nobility; Her complexion is pale; ner eyes and hair are blacc. She has been the poet-statesman's wife ion enough to be the mother of two beautiful daughters, one eight and the other five years ot age. Devotedly attached to her husband and family, pasessei of superior mental and artistic culture, comrcßrjdin the resources of considerable wealth acd enjoying the rarest social advantages, Madame Clovis-Hugues lived in domestic retirement characterized by many circumstances of felicity, until led by pn unhappy train of circumstances, she considers d it expedient to take the law into ber own hands 8Rain&t the desnoiler ef her good name and that of her husband. Paris was startled by the tragedy, the perpetration Of which ia spplanded oy tee whole city and by a tnajcniy cf Parliamentary Deputies Its perpetralcr lies in the St Lszire Prison, awaiting the assize t'ourt trial, which, it ia generally hoped, ill result in her acquittal. Anticipating this conclusion, an American speculator is amicus to et Madams ClovisHcgues to elrcn an engaraeit with bim to plav 'i ady iiacbeth" in the Uci'.eH States a&d different European cities. Madame Clovis Hugues' victim. Morln, wai a riivate deter tive employed by a firm in Taris. One day, lounging ia the strangers lobby at the Palais B jnrnon, whither sbe had gone for the purpose of walking home with her husband at the cloe of the Parliamentary labors of the day, Morin saw her, wee struck with her beauty, berime acquainted with whom she was and conceived the diabolical intention cf bringing her int3 r.n inquiry aiTair oa which he was engaged at the time. The object of tbe inquiry referred to was to relieve a certain Gountesa of a young man who had married her for her money. Morin, withoat tbe remotest reason for it, beyond his desire to profit by providing the means of effecting her purpose for the Countess, slanderously connected the name of Madame Clovis-Üugnes with that of the countess' husband. When this lady heard of the outrage, she demanded, revolver in hand, a retraction from the Countess, who could do no more than refer her to the firm of detectives having Morin In their employment. They, in turn, referred her to that scoandrel, who fied into Belgium to avoid the consequences of his unscrupulous conduct. In his absence Morin was sentence:! to pay a fine and heavy damans, and to two years' imprisonment. Fpon his return to Paris the case against him was heard the second time, and resulted in his conviction. He appealed, acd followed this up with the circulation of slanderous postal cards and other means of Inj urine Madame ClovisHugues and her husband, not sparing that of deriding her in public places. Circumstances evidence that political influence was employed to back Morin in these infamous paoceedings, with the view to damage the interest represented by the Marseilles deputy. This was suspected by his wife, who had been kept in ignorance of Morin's appeal. Hearing when It was to be heard, she attended the court, at which counsel appeared against the detective, provided with evidences of his almost incredible villainy, in the shape of libellous postal cards and other matter. The court adjourned the cae. Madame Clovis-Hngues took this leniency to Morin to mean that she was to be tlte victim of a political conspiracy, connvi:rg the suspicion which had led her to r.wvi-Je herself with a revolver and to make e cry preparation for a stay ia jail. While in tjurt Morin behaved in a sneering manner, which, it is said, indicated an understanding with tbe jade. Hs fell mortally wounded by the revolver cf the victim of his demotion before he had even left the prtciDta of tbe court. M. Clovis-Hasues, who accompanied her, was arrested with his wi. but released in a abort time. LYON'S KozarHiühii; 3 IH U. 6Tii'! s -"--1 11 j 1 r n Btr CRC U SING. ArTERUSlfiC Af.IFTTOinK tiltAV.
