Since conviction strong efforts bave been made to him pardoned on the ad of Insanity, and the wretched dogerel which be has bad published ja a at Three Rivers would seem to indicate that he was far from being in his right mind A correspondent of the Mon- treal Gazette sketches the closing scene of his life.

Brain- erd walked up the steps coolly and more uncon- <cernedly than any of the spectators. In the room ° ‘the executioner took his hand off Brainerd’s neck and drew back the bolts of the door, outside which was the drop. As he did so the crowd, which now amounted to 2,000, and in which many wo- men were to be seen, simultaneously exclaimed, ** Le voila, le voila,” and swayed to and fro for a few moments, eagerly looking upat Brainerd, who stood calmly gazing out into the rain. The hangman stepped ont on the drop and pulled down the noose. Rev. Mr. Carron said, “ Brain- erd, bumble fyourself, hid sg In ten minutes_you will be no more, and facing your Creator.’? Words to this effect he + gees twice, but still Brainerd made no sign, and looked down at the crowd.

UP The Paris correspondent of the New Or- leans Picayune furnishes the following {tem :— ~*There has been a sawdust row in Paris, to which the principal parties were the manager of the circus ef the Champ Elysees and a gymnast by the name of Leotard, whose performances for several months nae have drawn great crowds to ‘the equestrian place of amusement. Leotard is ‘the man who performs the trapezas which I men- tioned some time ago in a letter to the Delta. His success has been so great that, as usual with “ar- tists,” the fellow’s head has been completely turned, and he considers himself one of the won- ders of the world. The quarrel with the man- ager originated in aclause of Leotard’s en; ment requiring him to wear the uniform of 1 circus company when not going through bis own performances. Leotard felt his “artistic” dignit compromised by appearing in a sort of livery an: standing in a file of his comrades, in the ring, to lend “solemnity” to the entry of the rider about to astonish the natives; so he refused compliance The manager brought an action, which Leotard lost. To crown the absurd pretensions which bad dy made him the subject of ridicule among the satirical ie ws of Paris, the self-important yinast published a ‘card’ pompously commenc- For the last few d: j the only talk is of a new engagement which | am report- ed ve contracted,’ &c.

This pepineer! where ministers only are concerned, is usually formed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs; ut the Emperor desired, no doubt, to show es- Pecial attention on this occasion to the agent of the United States.

He declared that the wealth of the country was beyond description, inhabited by Moors of indus- trious habits, and well inclined to civilization. In 1852 there was a it talk among the Eng- lish here of an expedition to be fitted out by Mas- terman for a visit to the mines.

The water is quite soft, and as clear and transparent as crystal. When you first bathe in it, it seems im- possible to bear the heat, but you gradually get accustomed to it, and find it very delightful. It is remarkably pleagant to drink, and when taken hot is equal to the best Chou-chong. What is singular, even when hog it has no nauseating ef- fect. With a little salt and pepper it makes a very good conswme, or the chicken broth. Mtxot’s Lever Licut-Houst —The interior of this structure is being Le gee completed.

In his official interview he wore a uniform coat, the breasts and back of which were literally covered with gold leaves and vines and trees beautifully interwoven and arranged, and upon his breast hung numerous decorations from the Sultan and European monarchs. conspicuous among which was an immense ivory cross, set in brilliant dia- monds, all evidences of his military prowess in battle and services rendered the State.

He the (Cor- oner) made some inquiries about the yictim, and the old worman—that is, Mrs Ellicott, the wife of the hung man—replied that he was cut down, but not dead; and farther remarked, that it was about the 19th time he had attempted to hang himself and hadn’t yet succeeded, but she’d be tetotally darned if he mighn’t hang the next time until he died; that she would never cut the cord again to let him breath easy.

He wasa singular cus- tomer, had no communications with any one, and only divulged his mysterious business when he was threatened with arrest as a counterfeiter. A: soon as public attention was called to his opera: tions he disappeared. He had half a bushel or more of disinteg: agates, some of which were burned, and others showed the action of acids which seemed to have eaten out the impurities and left the flint as clear and transparent as cr tal, which wes, doubtless, the nearest he bad come to the perfection of the sparkling diamond. esa Oe ee Divorce Law Cauir ta —In a recent case the Supreme Court of California have de- cided that there is no authority“in the Court to im ny restraint upon s second marriage where a dissolution from the bonds of matri- mony la adjudged.
