A Dramatic Trial. Another of those remarkable dramatic episodes with which the Communist trials have made us familiar has lately been presented at Paris. Early in the month was arraigned the party, twenty-three in number, accused of having shot the hostages. As usual, the culpfits embraced every age, and almost every condition of life. Men, women, and children stood shoulder to-shoulder at the bar, as they had stood before at the barricade, to Struggle for their lives. One of the prisoners, Ilcrault, was a representative of that precocious feroc ity which tho Commune seems to have developed. He was a boy of seventeen whose 'fair hair, round features and pale face/ frays an eye-witness, would have better fitted a sobool boy, than a member of a terrible bind of assassins. Yet be did not deny having served us u soldier of the Commune; he is said to nave boasted 01 naving Deen one 01 the firing party who shot the hostages, and a witness of the massacre testifies that it was perpetrated by just such smooth-faced young lads as Jlerault. Another of the accused was a bright, handsome, proud looking young man, a paper-cutter, named Fortcri. lie told the somewhat | improbable story, that during all the reign of the Commune he had remained quietly working at his trade. The two ''most forbiding looking," rascals of the lot, indeed, made out the most plausible story, a fact which may distress disciples of Lavater. Hut the crowning sensation was the examination of Pigerrc, who is alleged to have commanded the firing party. li is appearance seems not to have been prcposcssing. Indeed, the correspondent of the London Standard thinks his face must raise up a terrible prejudice against him,"'-if it were not sufficient to hang him." ''Pale, with hollow checks, sharp nose and sunken eyes, narrow, retreating P 1- - " .1 ? .!*!? *)? ?-? 1?1??/.!- lion* llimu'ii KUCIICilU, tvilll I Hill, IUIIIV mill u nun luiiniu behind his cars, lie is evidently the true type Of the fanatic. Yet, standing there like a wolf at bay he extorts the admiration of his enemies by his wonderful nerve nnd audacity. His eye. deep sunk and intense, fastened on the face of an adverse witness confused him and made his truth seem like falsehood. "They seem like pistol shots," Bays a spectator. A dozen witnesses have identified him as the cheif of the firing party, yet he confronts and ontvadicts them all. He even invites the scrutiny of thoso who arc to pick him out from among his fellow prisoners. M Chivclottc, the mayor of a Parisian arondisment, who had been one. of the hostages, was called upon to identity the chief of the firing party. r _ 1 .ii i n i i-j "-ent down from the witnettf rail Ingram! sluwiji glanced along the three rows of captives, until, amid the breathless sus/ense of the atidicnce, lie lifted his finger and pointed to Pigcrre. " Voiu!" exclaimed Pigcrre, starting to his feet a. d looking him full ill the face, his frame drawn up into Boldior-Iike erect?ncss of attitude, his ghastly pale face rigid with nervous tension. Instead of avoiding scrutiny, Pigcrre invited it, by stepping from his own scat into the row before him and looking at M Cheviih.t face to face. The men were little more than a yard from each other; they looked full int i each other's eyes, and at last the witness broke tlio suspense ol the audience by saying h< believed Pigcrre to be the man. ~ _ j _ 1 ? _ _ Tlie s:tnic scene was rccnacicu in every other case, 1'igcri" in every instance coming halfway to unct his aceusor, and almost baffljing him witl-hisbasclisk glance. Add to thipcxtraordinary resolution that Pcgcrro, thcMgh <nily a cabinet maker speaks with great force an I precision of rhetoric, and has tic stern, pittiless, terribly impassive look of Hie born to command, and we may agree vith the correspondent that ho is no 6rdin?i7 man. lie will probably be shot, if lie I)1* not already been.

[ 'The Newhall ouse *as the scone yester, dspr of a matrimonial occurrence, which for i>C|tae$s and dispatch in execution challen. gef.comparison. On the noon train yesterday there camo from Kenosha two gentle, men, tho Rt. Rev. Father Daughcrty, and a S>juig man bearing the aristocratic name of eernond. They immediately betook themselves to the Newhall llouse, and a3 soon as th^y had registered their names, the Rev. gentleman asked to sec Mies Fanny ..C'ary, , dijjBw thW^frftitrcBSea of the hotel. Although she was eDgogcd at the time in waiting on thetable, his business appeared to be so urgent that she wassummoncd from the {lining ' room and met Father.Daughcrty in the hall. After exchanging the usual compliments of ' the season, the clergyman, who it seems had ^ long been acquainted with iuiss C'ary, told her-without further explanation that a young gentleman friend of his, wasaboutto settle down in life, had made his fortune atid determined to take a partner, for better or J for worse, had consulted him as to an eligi- 1 ble person; That he had immediately sug J gestcd that Fanny Cftry was just the person ( for the place, and that Desmond on the strength of his recommendation, had decided j to offer himself to her, and effect if possible, an immediate consummation of the matter ( in o nest ion. ( Atier stating the above facts the Reverend Futhor made a formal proposal to the young girl in behalf of young Desmond. The pro- ' posal ?wns accepted. Desmond summoned, and j the couple, who had never seen each other ( beford, introduced, and it was decided that , as soon as possible, thdy should be made two t souls With but a single thought, "two hearts that beat as one." Accordingly, by four o'- i clock,'the ceremony was performed by father ( ]}augfccrty, and without waiting for congrat- j ulatioits the newly married couple set out for Fox Lilke. the residence of Desmond. Dednond is said to be a man of considera- 1 blc moans, owning property to the amount of $40)000 in the y cinity of Fox Lake.? , May their journey through life prove long and prosperous. } A Remorseless Swindle. ] Some years ago?wc do not remember how J many, .hut suppose it to be a dozen?there was a newspaper announcement about a man who bod left a pack ago of money at Karlc's Hotel, then on Park llow, New York, to be " "f-K ll1 fc1 \c us uai fer iVom tiio' cleric. Upon 11 presenting his check, a day or two L.tor, he could not get his package?the clerk was horrified to discover that it was missing. It happened that a check had been presented which was au exact imitation of the check given by the clerk, and on this bogus check the package had been, innocently enough, delivered to the person claiming it. The depositor brought a suit to recover $15,000, the alleged amount amount of the deposit left at Mr. Karlc's. For years the matter w:is in litigation in the courts, going from one tribunal to another, and keeping Earle on the keen jump" (as Emerson lias iL)? The result of it all has been that Earle had to pay the $15,000, and a good deal more besides, in the shape of interest money and ?n | expenses, ;i:iiuuiiiiii^ m uu iu uv n,.^ .. than $42,000. This amount 31 r. Kurlo has paid in cash, to settle this troublesome job; - and now, having a few months since paid 1 the last installment and ended the ugljr.matter, lie received, a week ago (he was in town 1 a day or two ago and told his old friends of it,) a package from Boston enclosing a lcttor. The package was the identical original missing package from the safe?-was identified as such?and with it were papers which have proved beyond a question that the actual i amount deposited in the hotel safe was not 315.000, but only $560; and it was also revealed that the depositor had a confederate, and that the whole operation was a swindle . and a robbery. A duplicate check was made . so like to the other that thgrc seemed to he no difference; and the two rogues have doubtless divided tlq; "swag" which the Courts I have decreed to the plaintiff. The note, which revealed these facts was signed ' Howard," with this interesting addition: "A Conscientious Scoundrel." ! For Charlie's Rake. 5 "Some years ago, in time of war," said Mr. J Moody, "a well known Judge who had interested himself for the welfare of suffering ^ soldiers, resolved that while a certain ease 3 was pending he would turn away ail apu> ennts for cliarit}' that lie might devote liim1 self wholly to the duties of his professional engagcueiit-s. "Oncday a soldier came into his office, ' poorly dad and with deep lines of suffering " marked on his face. The Judge, pretending r not to notice him, continued his work. The soldier fumbled in his pockets fur a long c time, an;l then said in an uncertain, disappointedtone of voice, as though lie saw that e he was .inwelc me,'I did have a letter for e you.' Tie Judge, acting against the pronipt^ ings ofi warm, generous heart, made no rcply. ircscntly a thin, trembling hand push's od a noe along the desk. The J udge raised his fact.slightly and was about to reply: "I l" have in time for such matters as those," s- when It discovered that the writing was that l<* of his wn son, a soldier in the army. He took upthc note. It read in substance:? 0. "Dear lit her: The bearer is a soldier dischargcdfroui the hospital. lie is going t0 hometodie. Assist him in any way you st can, forCharlic's sake." i. ''All lie tender emotions of his heart m wero lal open. lie said to a friend aftcrward: I took the soldier to my heart for Charlie1 sake, I let him sleep in Charlie's bed, i (tithed him and supplied him with '1C cTcry cail'ort, lbr the sake of my own dear boy." sr- 'JTyHends, God will never turn the u* needy a ay without a blessing for his dear Son's sac?far Jesus' sake. u . Jackson a nd the Bravo. It was whilo he was Judge that he arrested the notoriops desderado Bean's whom nobod y else could arrest. Many of Bean's descendants are still living, and the plaoe where old Hickory's eyes brought hiin down is still pointed; As the story runs, Bean went away and left his family for two years. "When hd returned, his wife celebrated the advent by presenting him with a newborn babe. This was a hew departure in domestic economy, and Bean did not accept the situation with very good grace. He demanded an explanation,, and ip the absence of a^twfactoryjWj;;^ starpdniJd^hLrcut off both cars of the poor little baby, playfully remarking : s did so, that he Wanted to dis. I *1 i? 1 O - 1 . unguisn it irom nis own. oome mougnt this was an innocent proceeding, a practical joke on the baby, in fact, while others considered it an outrage that should be punished. The grand jury took that view of the case and indicted Bean. Bean, .as usual, brushed up his horse pistols and said they couldn't arrest him. The sheriff tried it md was vanquished. Court came on; the criminal docket was called, and the clerk reported Bean 'not taken.' 'What's the matter?'asked Judge Jackson rf the sheriff. 'Nothing's the matter, only I can't arrest him,' replied the official. 'Then, by the Eternal! summon the county to help you, and bring him iu here,' thundered the judge. The sheriff gathered up some citizens and idvanccd on Bean.. Tho latter backed himself up against a house to prevent a rear at tack, drew his pistols, and told them toconie jn. lie was a centre shot, and to have advanced would have been certain death to ionic. No one cared to sacrifice his life in riving the others a chance to make a start. 1'hc sheriff reported to Jackson that Bean :ould not be tuken without a sacrifice of ives. 'By the Eternal! summon the court!' thundered the irate judge; and lthe# court' Fas summoned. Jackson refused arms, r\nd advanced emptybanded and bareheaded upon Bean. His friends tried to restrain him, as he valued his life, but he heeded them not. He kept his cold blat.-k eyes fixedly upon the desperado, walking right up to him, jerked his pis tola away, took him by the collar, and matched him off to jail. A Tike in tiik Hf.au.?An Indianapolis paper publishes the following queer ??? ???> .iin.t i uiihct num iVndCTson or thereabouts visited the city on business, and in the course of his peregrinations he purchased a p ickage of Roman candles for the purpose of amusing his progeny on his return. liis fire works were carefully deposited in a rear pocket, and a short time thereafter he wended his way to tho depot to take the evening train. "While loitering in the waiting room, admiring the stacks of ginger-bread, hard-boiled eggs and doughnuts temptingly displayed on the lunch-counter, he carelessly whisked his left coat tail against the rod-hot stove, and trouble immediately ensued. The first rocket narrowly escaped the face of a native who was in a half-comatose condition, caused by the extract of much hops; and, not stopping to inquire into particulars, he made the door in two gigantic leaps. All the occupants of the room immediately attempted to follow his example, and, with a determination hot lo bo distanced, the proprietor of the candles forced himself into the midst of the struggling throng, endeavoring frantically to escape. In tho meantime the candles fizzed and popped, giving strength to the evident impression that the party was being bombarded with some sort of an infernal machine; and. strange as it may seem, the innocent cause of all the trouble u-n< ?hn most hadlv frightened man in the " ? ? ~ J " c lot. Mot until fearful holes had been burned in the broadest portions of his ubthcr garments, and the epidermis looked as though a strong mustard plaster had been pulled off violently, did he discover the cause of the funic*. Order was finally restored, though the effects on that man's coat-tails were disastrous; and we are also informed that his unmentionables required immediate halfsoling. The victim is willing to testify that not one of the candles m'sscd fire. Pjsftop Lynch the Probable Successor ml.' 'i ne Late Primate.?The NewYork Evening Post, of Thursday, in an editorial notice of the late Archbishop Spaulding, says: lie was soon to have received one of the highest honors his church could have bestowed; for it is rumored that next Spring lie would have been made a cardinal, in company with the English Archbishop of Westminster. and the Tclguiu Archbishop of Milanese?two of the most notable prelates of Northern Europe. One of the faVorifo plans of the lato Archbishop was the extension of Human Catholicism among the frccdmcn_of the South.

Ilis death will cause regret in the Vatican as well as in bis own diocese, l'or with the late Archbishop Pious IX was probably better acquainted than with any other prelate in America.

A patient in the insane department of the Marshal Infirmary, who had been confined" there upward of two years as a lunatic," was attacked by the small-pox, and after running the usual course of the disease recovered not only his bodily health but his reason also.' He is now aparcntly as sound in mind as in body, and is preparing to go about his usual & )casions. It has long been a common opinion, that the small-pox, where it ddes notter- . I minate fatally, cleanses the system of all iinI purities, causing all other bodily diseases to disappear with it when a cure is effected; but it is something quite new for it to rc* store to one afflicted with insanity their reap-' sod. Haste am) Health.?It is not. at all wholesome, says Dr. Hall, to be in a hurry; Locomotives have been reported to havd moved a mile in a minute for short distances but locomotives have often come to grief by such rapidity. Multitudes, in their haste to get rich, arc ruined every year. The med who do things maturely, slowly,deliberately, arc the men who oftenest succeed in life.?People who arc habitually in a hurry generally have to do thing's.twice over. The tortoise beat the hare at last Slow men seldom knock their brains out against a post. Footraces arc injurious to health, as are all kinds' of competitive exercises; steady labor in the field is the best gymnasium in the world.?
