THE GRAND OLD MAN Mr. Gladstore Not Much Hurt by Enock-Downs. A NEW PARLIAMENTARY DODGE Why Was the Britlsh Ministor Called From Paris? .A_ENGLAND BOYCOTTING FRANCE Relation of the French Revolution to These Modern Daysa. A VERY TEMPESTUOUS OFFICIAL Bomething New Will Arise In the Irish Question and Take the Brit- ish Ggvernment by Surprise— Parnell Tactics. Views of an Inside Man. LCopyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.1 LowpoN, May 25.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.|—Though for the moment & trifling kind of dullness relgns in parliament, Iam inclined to think it will not last very much longer. For one thing, a storm is being conjured up by the arts of the grand old parlinmentary wizard. ‘When every body thinks he is done for at last, he has tho habit, as a lady told him, of popping up again. ‘What are you to do with a man who pops up, even after cabs have knocked him downt That is merely oue of the hundred little contretemps of daily life of which Mr, Glad- stone takes no heed. To be sure it does not often happen; but when it does, Mr. Gladstone . picks himself up as he did Tuesday, in Pic- cadilly, and runs after the cabman, takes his number, and leaves him in the hands of tho police. How many men are thore in their eighticth year, who wonld be disposed to finish off jobs of this sort in so thorough and artistic & manner! Most people, finaing themselves in the middle of the road, wrong sido uppermost, would be quite satisfisd to scramble to their legs and walk quietly home and take an hour or two to repair damages. But Mr. Gladstone never gives in. His en- gagements, any day in the week, would tire i out most young fellnws of two-and-twenty without the cab part of the busiuess thrown in as an extra, Now what is he going to do to keep him- i self woll to the front in public life? | There are several things onthe cards, | ' among them two especially interosting. The " first relates to the withdrawal of the Euglish embassador at Paris at the opening of the great exhibition. This mav be brought be- fore the house, in connection with the for- . eign ofiice budget, which has yet a stage to pass through, and which has been kept back & most unusual time by the government, in order to avoid a discussion of this rather ticklish question, ‘To postpone what you do not like and cannot prevent is the motto of every government. A person who is going to bringon an ugly subject may change s mind or go abroad, or the public may lose all interest in it, but none of these things is likely to occur in con- nection with the retirement of Lord Lyton from Paris. Mr. Gladstone is in full chase after a cabby, and ho will never rest until he has bauled him and his chief, Lord Salis- bury, before the parliament and the people. ‘What view is the public tuking of this matter? As oo every thing else, opinions are di- vided. A good many people think that it is a rather mean and small thing for one nation to officially boycott another because certain events happened 8 hundred years ago, of which everybody does not happen to approve. Not one visitor out of ten thousand asso ates the Paris exhibition in any way with the I"rench revolution; they merely see in it one of the most interesting and instructive collections, illustrative of the world's pro- gress, which has over been brought together. Would it mot have been better to have allowed Lord Lyton to have remained at his post, ignoring the revolution and secing all < that is interesting in the exhibition, in com- *mon with'the rest of the world? Aftor all, the Freuch people and the Fren rnment have motsaid a great (] @eal about the revolution, or sought to inag- nify it overmuch. But for the fuss made by the withdrawal of 80 many European am- bassadors, the connection between the two events, slight and umaginary as it is, would have been completely forgotten. If England was induced to retire from France Lecause of the prossure of Prince Bismarck, it will not tend to increnso the satisfoction of the public at what h@@ocourred. These are points on which, no doubt, Mr. Gladstone will seek information, and it will require an able and more discreet man than tho under-secretary for foreign affairs, Sir James Ferguson, to parry his attack. This particular ofifeial 18 only known for the facil- ity with which he loses bis temper and mukes » mess of his. business; and, therefore, 1t will be very desirable to have Lord Sulisbury himself in the house for an hour or 80, {0 re- ply to Mr. CGlladstone. As that can not be maneged, My, Gladstone is very likely to run the government rather close on this occa- slon. There is, I think, a storm coming up in another partof the heavens. I called yvour attention to the fact that the Irish party seemed to be fizzling out. It may have struck others as well ps myself, or at any rate there i something in the air which I do not profess to be ablo to interpret, but which is likely to givorise. to noteworthy events. I believe that a movementof & totally new kind is , and that it will take the goy- ernment by surprise. The Nationalist leuders may well be excused for fecling that if what they are doing now the taunt of the Times, that their causo is bad they will be justified ,lathg eyes of the people. ¢ not Mr. Parnelly pretty clearly indi- e Athe other day, thut bis tactics wero about to take a different direction. He talked, indoed, of retiring with his fol- lowdrs from the parliament at Westminster, That would be about the worst thing he and they could do, By the government, on the other hand, it is naturally regarded as a con- summation deveutly to be wished. It might more dificult for the Parnellites to got again than for them to go out.

No one could tell be- forchand what would be the issue, but every- body would agree that it is not a step to be taken in a hurry. ©That we may look for events, new and strange, before very long, 1 venture to pre- dict. Affairs are in a critical state, and it must be remembered that after the present session all parties will be ixing their eyes on the next general election. Iadeed, the underground wires are now being moved with a view to that. The nationalists mean to be counted in on s0 momentuous an oc- casion, and they will be up and doing before very long. A MEMBEI OF PARLIAMENT, VALKYR. WINS AGAIN. Yet It 1s RHeld She Can’t Get the American Cup. (Copyrighted 1889 by James Gordon Bennett,) Hanwien, April 20.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.]—The Valkyrie won again to-day, in the New Thames Yacht Club channel match, from Southend to Harwich. She peat the Irex by over 20 minutes actual time, and by 32 minutes and 14 seconds corrected time, adding her handi- cap of 5 minutes and 56 seconds. The race, however, was 1ot an exciting one, being & mixture of very light breezes and semi-dead calws throughout. It proved one thing, however, and that is that the Valkyrie can outdistance any yacht of her class afloat. Some say thatin a light wind and on some occasions, to-day for example, luck strongly favors her. At the start the Irex made o slight lend and got away ahead of her competitor the same as yesterday, but the Valkyrie quickly pulled upon her, and the match was protty nearly a procession all the rest of the way. The race was for yachts of any rig for a first prize of £50, and a second prize of £50 if four start, and a third prize of £20 if six start. The entries were the Mohawk, Vreda, Yarana, Dis, Deerhound, Foxhound, Valky- rie, Irex, and Amphitrite. The gun sounded for the start at S:45a. m., and under a fresh breeze from the landward the entire flotilla moved gracefully forward, in what for u moment scemed an evén line. The Irex and Valkyrie were slightly ahead, and in a nimute or two James’ cutter could be plainly seen outdistancing Lord Dunra- ven's champion. Behind them came the Mohawk and the Deerhound; the schooner Amphitrite followed, and se behind her sailed the Vreda and the dimmutive Dis. The boats maintained the same order for a while, in fact all of them did so for a long while, save the Mohawk and the Deerhound, which [started off togother on a lufting match toward Sheerness, which manauver, though it subsequently gave them a little more wind, was of no perceptiblo advantage to either ot them, By the tine the Mouse light was reached a flat calm had fallen over the water, and the white sails flapped in struggling help- lessness for a little time, until a mere ghost of abreeze came up, and fanned them slowly onward. Meanwhile the Valkyrie had pulled up on the Irex and was steadily incroasing her lead over her big opponent, while the Yarana was just maintaining her position a8 third, The Deerhound next overtook the schooner Amphitrite, and remained ahead of her during the remainder of the race, the Vreda, Mohawk, Foxhound and Dis remain- ing solidly in the rear. Coming round the buoy before the Cark lightship the wind failed again, but quickly veered round and took the crafts ahead. The Valkyrie, in her position as leader, caught the breeze almost fifteen minutes before her opponents, and taking down her jib-tovsail tacked and fetched around he buoy and lightship. The others crawled up slowly until they too caught the breeze that had sent Lord Duuraven’s yacht so far ahead of them, but were altogether too late to have prevented her victory, were she even not half so fleet a racer as she is. Away she sailed leaving her other competitors far in her wake, and passed the buoy outside the pier at Harwich nearly half an hour before any of the rest. The gun was fired at 6 hours, 14 minutes, 19 seconds. The Irex came in in 6:40:37. The official time of the foremost quartette was, the Valkyrie, first prize, 6:14:19; Inex sccond prize, 6:40:37; Yarana, disqualified, nil; the Decrhound, 7:15:41; the Amphttrite, 7:18:48. The handicap was, Irex, nil; Val- kyrie; 5 minutes, 55 seconds, and the Deerhound, 28 minutes, 23 seconds; the Amphitrge, 4 minutes,40 seconds; the Yarana would have secured third place save for the fact that she passed on the wrong side of the buoy. Some one in the judge's boat en- deavored to signal to her the mistake in time to uvoid the consequences, but was promptly prevented from effecting his purpose by the judges, but the race in itself confirms one- thing, thatscarcely needed confirmation, to wit, the Valkyrie is a better boat than the “Yarana or the Irex. Down among the yachting men, to-day, it was the freely expressed opinion that the new cutter can nothopeto win in a race against the Volunteer, save by the purest luck. The circustances being similar for each, the Volunteer could walk away from the Valkyrie, —————— e THE AMERICAN LEGATION, No Ohanges i 1ts London Quarters For the F nt, [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNvoN, May 25.—(New York Herald Cable-—-Special to Tur Bee. |—ILhus been re- ported that certain changes at the American legation in London were to be made, but the rumor has no foundation.

AN INTERVIEW WITH VIRCHOW. Washington Irving Bishop's Oase Scientifically Discussed. DISSECTING A LIVING MAN. The Sclentist Thinks the Mind- Reader Was Dead. WHAT THE BRAIN REALLY DOES. When the Oirculation of the Blood and Respiration Cease, a Man 1s a Goner—The Need of Care, Am Anatomical Opinion. [Copyright 1889 by Jamss Gordon Bennstt.] BerLly, May —~[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—The dread of being dissected, or buried while in a state of trance, has occurred to every thinking human being at least once during his or her life- time, The 1dea, of itself, is such a hideous cne that it is seldom spoken of to another being. It is iNcluded wmong those fancies, which hover around the feverish bed of sleeplessness in the silent wutches of the night and flee like an evil spirit at the ap- proach of dawn, No living man has dissected as many hu- man beings or inferior animals as Prof. Rudolf Virchow, of the University of Ber- lin, The case of Washington Irving 3#lop is one of such vital interest to the whole human race that the Herald correspondent did not hesitate to break in upon the lubors of the wreat scientist to ask him, in the interest of humanity, for an opinion concerning Bishop's case. When I stated it to him, the Professor paused for a moment and then with that modesty and re- serve in stating his views, common to all those whose knowledge is really profound, he quictly said: “It is somewhat dificult to give a positive opinion concerning such cases, unless one is in possession of all the facts bearing on them ; but I have no hesitation in saying that the fact of the brain having been warm at the time of its removal is no proof at all thav Bishop was alive at the time the post mortem examination of his body was made.” “After death the Internal organs fre- quently remain warm for a long time after the surface of the body has become cold, and there are cortain maladies, mainly of the nervous system, wherein not only is the temperature of the brain is not diminished after death but actually undergoes an in- crease. This has been proved beyond the slightest doubt by a number of experiments made on man and on the mferior animals. “In the whole course of my long experience as an anatomist, I have never known or heard of a case of # man being dissected alive, ex- cept in one instance, and that is a matter of history, although the evidence 1 it is im per- fect. That was the case of Vasel, or Vaselius, the great anatomist of the Six- teenth century. He revolutionized in break- ing loose from the traditions handed down" from the time of Galen. Itis said that he lived in concealment somewhere 1 Spain during the last ten yeavs of his. life, after having filled a prominent part at th e court as well as in science, for he was the body sur- geon of Charles V. 7The reason alleged for his retirement from the world is that he in- advertently anatomized the body of a man who was alive at the time, This, as 1 say, is the only case of the kind I have ever heard of, until you mentioned Mr. Bishop’s, and it is very far from being sustained. I have heard of many cases where per- sons are alleged to have been burned while in a state of trance, but, sir, in no case thor- oughly investigated was this proven. “Even if it be admitted that Bishop was alive at the time his brain was removed, the allegation that he was conscious of what was being done to him then is absurd. Conscious- ness 1s a function of the brain, the result of its activity. In order that this activity may continue, it is necessary to rencw a supply of oxyzen to the brain, which can only be supplied by means of the blood, and the sup- ply of oxygen to the blood can only be man- tained as long as respiration is continued, If the circulation of the blood and respiration both cease, the brain is necessarily deprived of the oxygen necessary to the actiity, ‘which alone produces consciousness. In that case decomposition would soon set in, as the brain belongs to that portion of the body that most quickly decomposes. “‘Our only means of knowing whether life still exists in the human body are certain action. We have no other means. There is often no positive proof that life is extinct; and, on the other hand, there 1s no proot to show it to be still remaining. 1f respiration and circulation are discontinued they never, for the reason above stated, return, The signs that show their presence may be so slight as to escape the closest observation, but they are there. Breathing still con- tinues, although so faintly as not to affect a mote in air near the mouth, The best tests as to whether life is de- parted or not are the most powerful excit- ants, a galvanic battery, for instance, one pole of which should be attached to the dia- phram, the most powerful muscle of respira- tion, and'the other to the medulla oblongata, which controls the nerves descending from the head to the neck and is the vital citadel of the body, the center of respiration and circulation, ———— Lincoln Visits the Queen.

The Gentile Element in Utah is Highly Pleased. SALT Lake Crry, May 95.—|Speoial Tele- gram to Tone Bee.]—Charles 8. Zane, who has been appointed chief justice of Utah by Harrison, was born March 2, 1831, in Cum- berland county, New Jersey, He moved to Sangamon county, Illinois, whero he worked as a farm laborer until the fall of 1! He then went to McKendry college for three years, taught school ono year and read law at the same time. He was admitted to the bar in 1857, at Springfield,/1ll. In 1858, he was elected city attorney and re-elected in 1860 and 1865. Judgo Zane's law office at Springfield was immediately over the one oceupied by Lin- coln & Herndon. When Ahraham Lincoln was elected president, Judge Zane was ad- mitted to partnership, and the firm became Herndon & Zane, Judge Zane was with Lificaln, in his pri- vate office at Springtield, when the news of s nomination at Chicago reathed him. In# 1866 Mr. Zane was appointed county attorney, and in 1870 he formed a ‘pavtnership with Senator Cullom and was elected ciredit judge in Dlinois n 1873, add held the same until he was appointed, in 1834 chief justice of Utah by Prevident Arthur. He held his term under Cleveland until July 1698, when Judge Sandford succeeded him. Wiale n Illinois Judge Zane was a member of the famous Lincoln Monument association, Judge Zaue's reappointment was bitterly opposed by the mormoms and equally as strongly endorsed by the gentiles. The Trib} une editorially says. to-day: ‘‘Zane was the Columbus who discovered the route by which the execution of the laws could be found in Utah, and when storma of imprecations roared around him he moved in his certain way, undiverted and intent only upon per- forming his duty.” ‘The gentiles all over the territory are re- joicing at the appointment.

WOULDN'T SCARE THE FRENCH. The German Strikers Getting Unoasy Under the Passive Resistance of Their Employers—Herr Weber Arrested. The Confercnce Noarly Over. 1Copyright 1859 by New York Assoclated Press.| Beruiy, May 25.—Sir Edwaad Malet, Mr, Kasson and Herr Holstien, as a committee of revision, completed to-day a draft of proto col concerning the Samoan questions. It contains clauses relating to the municipal government of Apia, the coaling ports held by the powers, the land commission and the anatomy of the Samoan government, the text of which has already been cabled to Washington and approved by Blaine. A clause defining the tariff of the Samoan constitution, the native government and the limitation of German claims for indemnity from the natives has been framed in conso- nance with instructions from Blaine, who isin daiiy cable communication with the commission. Nothing, therefore, ought, in the opinion of the delegates, prevent the winding up of the conference on Tuesday, when business is expected to be limited to the exchange of signatures to the agree- ment. The success of the commission and the rapidity with which the business was got through with, was partly due to the concilli- atory attitude of Bismarck and the impartial policy displayed by Sir Edward Malet, and also largely to the American commissioners having definite instructions covering every point. The constant hard work of the sub comimitte marvelously expediated matters, the plenary sittings of the conference hav- ing litue to do further than to hear reports. Throughout no embarrassing developments have retarded the progress of the delibera- tions. When the conference began it was an- nounced that the foreign office was confident the sessions would terminate in the first week in June. The discussion has taken its course and issue according to the forecast. Tke German official world, following the example of its chiefs, treats the American commissioners with high favor. If they respond to all their invitations they will find their hardest work in recreation. - Count Herbert. gave conspicuous emphasis to his friendly footing with each of the com- missioners by his greeting at the Temple- hofer parade, when he left the parade to converse with each commissioner, tiding be- tween the carriages of Kasson and Bates and Phelps, and exchanging cordial words with them, King Humbert's projected visit to Stras- bourg was countermanded after the Italian embassy received the telegrams from Paris reporting the disturbance in the public mind. The arrangements at Strasbourg included a review of the garrison and a night attack on the citadel. After Signor Crispi had re- ferred the matter to Bismarck, it was an- nounced that King Humbert would not visit Strasbourg, but would keep on the Baden side of the Rhine on his homeward journey. The situationifat the . Westphalia colliery continues critical. According to the Rhen- ish papers, the proclamation of martial law is imminent. Hitherto the miners have held aloof from the socialists and have resented their approaches. Now there are symptoms of impatience under the passive resistence of the masters. Herr Weber, president of the Bochum strike committee, was arrested after making a speech last night in which occurred the phrase “War against capital; victory or death is acclaimed.” The miners in several pits in Bochum, Gelinkirchen and Aschen will go on a strike again, having failed to get the assent of the owners at Dortmund to the concessions de- manded. Other strikes are growing. Six thousand masons in Berlin, who resumed work under the belief that their employers would grant their demand, will strike again on - Monday. Nineteen thousand men employed in the building trades are now out here, The agad workinen's insurance bill passed the reichstag yesterday by only twenty ma- jority. Prince Bismarck wanted seventy. The revision of the treaty agrecd upon dur- ing the king's visit has not yet received the the adhesion of Austria. Associuted with the treaty is the military convention fixing a definite plan for the mobilization of the Italian army 1n the event of war. Signor Crispi wanted the entiente cordiule on the question of the papacy. Prince Iismarck obtained from Sigoor Crispi a pledge for a moderate 1nternal policy toward the vatican, and has asked the Austrian prime minister to join in the pressure on the pope to make peace with Quirinal. It is understood Em- peror Francis Joseph reluctantly al- lowed Count Kalnoky to intervene in the matter, and that the pope on receiving private assurances of the Austrian em- peror's sympathy, promptly rejected the overturs, The result is a distinct breach in the continuity of the alliance. The re- vised treaty will probably remain unsigned until emperor Francis Joseph and Count Kalnoky pay their expected visit here, The Italian generals, Rolands and Sironi, remain in Berlin to settie the details of the military convention with the war office. Adverse rumors go the length of asserting the difference with Austria is leading to a rupture of the alliance with Emperor Francis Joseph to regulate the Balkan ques- tion in conjunction with Russia. OMicial circles absolutely deny that a ruptureis withiu the range of probabiiity. At 9 o'clock this evening the emperor and King Humbert witnessed a grand military tattoo by 11,000 performers, in front of the castle, The lustgarten was illuminated with Bengal lights. The display was wit- nessed by e enthusiastic crowd. The people gave the king an ovation, The departure of King Humbert has been postponed until to-morrow. ‘The members of the reichstag gave a ban- quet ut the kaiserhof this evening in honor of Premier Orispi. In the Lousts loyal ref- erences were made to the allisuce between ]?ly and Germany, Premier Crispi declared thut Italy, though prepared for war, only de- sired peace. Some disappointment was ex- pressed because Count Herbert Bismarck made no spe-ch, HONORS TO MURRELL. London's Magnificent Tostimonial to the Gallant Captain, [Copyright 18%9 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxnoN, May %.—[Now York Herald Cablo—Special to Tre Brr.]—The banking account of Captain Murrell, commander of the Missouri, who, on the morning of April6, rescued 735 emigrants from the sinking Dan- mark in mid-Atlantic, under circumstances of great peril and immense porsonal and commereial risk, must to-day present a much more healthy appearance than it did two months ago.

The city of London was, yesterday afternoon, enthusiastic in his honor, whilst boquets and testimonials await him in the cities of Col- chester and Cardiff, and there 18 a strong probability that the freedom of London will be presented to him, His reception ia London eclipsed all pre- vious festivities in his nonor. The scene in- side was an unusually brilliant one, and when Cantain Murrell entored, in company with the lord mayor, the band struck up, ‘‘See the Conquering Hero Comes.” At the same time tho entire andience rose en masse and shouted and hurrahed until the civie walls rung, which completely drowued the music. Men waved hats and women flour- ished umbreilas and handkerchiefs, and it was some minutes before silence was re- stored. ~ All this time Captain Murrell stood blushing and bowing, and the lord mayor encouraged a prolongation of the ova- tion by leading it. A minute later the applause was resumed when the officers of tho Missouri joined their chief on the platform. The speeches were of a most laudatory character and replete in references to the nobility of native Brit- ish, the pluck and great humanity of the heroic captain, and every such reference brought the people to their feet with storms of applause. The proceedings commenced by tho lord mayor calling upon the band to play ‘“Hearts of Oak.” w. Con- nolly, secretary of the testimonial com- mittee, described Captain Murrell's reception in America and the organizing of a fund to fete him in England. There has been £10,150 paid or promised, and the list was still open. Mr. Connolly said it had been decided to give each member of the craw two months’ pay and each officer a gold watch and two months’ pay, and tho bal- ance, which it was hoped would reach £500, to the captain himself. In spite of all the honors that are heing heaped upon him, the captain remained an_honest, simple-hearted Englishman, He concluded his enumeration of the honors, past and prospective, arranged for Captain Murrell, by announcing that when that officer returned to the United States ho was to be prasented to the presi- dent at Washington. After a speech from the lord mayor, in ‘which he paid a high tribute to the captain, officers and crew of the Missouri, he pre- sented Captain Murrell with a silver salver and the officers with a gold medal and & check for two months’ salary. When Captain Murrell rose to respond, the whole audience rose av the same time and cheered vociferously for several minutes. He said it was with a very high sense of grati- tude that he and his crew were present and he thanked the meeting for the cordial reception that had been accorded them. The gratitude of tho people they were the means of saving was sufficlent for him and his crew without any further recompense. He spoke of the responsibility he felt when throwing over the cargo, but said Le con- cluded that merchandise was nothing when compared to human life, a sentiment that was loudly cheercd. The Danish minister, M. De Folbe, ex- tended the gratitude of his countrymen, from place to cottage, from king to peasant, to Captain Murrell and his brave crew. General New, the American consul, added words of welcome and the lord mayor ex- vlained that the American minister would be present, but until he was presented to the queen hie had no oficial status. General New suid the appreciation of true heroism was common to the people of all climes, and cspecially to the people of old England, America, and, porhaps, in 1o less a degree, the people of Deumark. Coptain Murrell's would stand out conspicuous as a great effort of true scamanship and gallantry. General Now then gave the popular com- mander checks for 2,500, and Captain Mur- rell, having broken the faswening of the sealed letter, the lord mayor read a letter from the chaucellor of the German empire highly cvlogizing Captain Murrell, after which the proceedings terminated. o S ABROAD, Senators Cameron and Sherman Ar- > in London.

[ Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennet.] Paws, May 25.—[New York Herald Cable --Speelal to Ture Bee.|—Just now, in the midst of what an eminent writer described an English summer to be, “three fine days and a thunder storm,” we haye had both and are hoping for more, especially tho thunder storm part of it, as theaiwr is so heavily charged with electricity that nothing else can save us from asphyxiation, This condition of the atmosphers drives pleasurc-seckers from the hot, crowded boulevards; aud the huge, open air resorts, from the Champs Elysses to the smiling suburbs and environs, like Meudon, St. Cloud, Suresnes and a hosts of pleasant spots along tho banks of the Seine, which have neverlooked more attractive than new, when, just before the summer dust soils the ver dure, these charming places arce most lovely. The lilac and chestnut blossoms, the bril. linnt green leaves and the grass all combine in a mystic beauty hard to match anywhere in the world, One of the best means of ecasily viewing the charms is to take a fashionable ex- cursion by the new well-appointed English coach which starts daily from the Herald office on the avenue de 'Opera, to the Hotel Reservoir at Versailles, and thonce baclcs passing St. Cloud, Lamarche, and Vaucres- son on the down journey, returning via Case cade Precatelan, The second ball at the Palaco Elysses was the most briliiant social attraction of the scason. Six thousand invitations wero is- sued, but the arrangements for receiving and entertaing the guests were 8o complete that at no time was the palace over-crowded. Dancing was kept up until daylight. The library and manuscripts of the late centennarian, Chevreul, have been presented, by his grandchildren, to the Natural History Muscum. The library contains between oight and ten thousand volumes. The major portion of the works on natural sclence chemistry, aud alchemy, of which there are a large number, are enhauced by Chevreul's marginal notes. The Paris Jehus are kicking because they are not allowed to fleecce forcigners as un- mercifully as they have been in tlie habit of doing and are thus deprived of the revenue they expected during the exhibition. In an interview, yesterday, with a veteran cabby, who has wielded the whip for thirty years, he mentioned the exact sum he would re- ceive if working by the hour for twelve consecutive hours, These men are lucky if they can count as clear profits the small sums they receiva as pourboires in the course of a day’s work, It 15 not, therefore surprising that a cabby sometimes refuses to run by the hour and in- sists on taking his fare by the course. . The guillotine does its dread work with greater frequency and regularity under Car- not, who is determined not to follow M. Grevy's e ple, and virtually abolish capi- tal punishment by a system of wholesale par- dons. The latest example occurred in the gray dewn of last Thursday, when Geomey, a soldier, was executed for the murder of an old woman named Roux in January last. Only a small gathering of horror-seckers met in the Place Roquette—nothing comparable to the mob which surrounded the scaffold when Prauzini and Prado met their fate. The great doors of the grim prison were opened and the usual sad procession emerged. Geomey twice kissed the crucifix held to his lips by the chaplain just before reaching the foot of the guiliotine - A Conp D> Bonrse. | Copnright 1859 hy James Gordon Bennett.] Panris, May 25.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Bee.|—About noon, yesterday, shock wus felt throughout the bourse on the receipt of un agency telegram announcing t| the king of Italy and the Gorman emperor would travel to Strasburg together, and that a grand review of the garrison would be held there in the presence of the alliod monarchs, It was pointed out, by interested stock jobbers, that such an action on the part of the Italan monarch could mean nothing less than absolute provos cation to war, A downward movement in ¥rench and Italian rentes was the immedi- ate result of the reports, aithough it became protty evigent, before closing time,that there waes no truth in the rumor. The stock affected finisbed av a considerable re- duction from yesterday’s rat A dispatch was circulated in Paris containing the scnsa- tional item referred to, but early in the af- ternoon the Temps threw cold water on the story, which was subsequently denied in toto by & telegram from Strasburg stating that the emperor would visit the Alsatian capital, but that he would not be accompanied by the king of Italy. The version given above gives the true hise tory of the monwurchs’ travels, They will go as far as Frankfort-on-the-Main together and will part there, the king going south, via Fribourg and Basle, to Italy, while tue kaiser proceeds westward to pay his first visit to the imperial proviaces. ‘The sensational views were doubtless only a coup de bourse, Dbut it was successful, as may be judged from an inspection of the stock Lists of yesterday's Paris money market. e Three New Cras .
