The London season hover, and everybody is rushing out of town. The Opera House is closed, he French talav are over, and the expiring law continuance bill was read the find time last Tuesday, a sign that the end or the session 1 near. Never was the end of a session of Parliament tnore eagerly sighed for. The end of the theatrical season ha been marked by several interesting performances, hich drew crowded audiences in spite of the trop ical heat. Adeliua Patti 'completed her tmntv.fifth Knclisli Miuon on Saturday, I ehlosing "II Trovatore" and dinging it a.

well as Joe ever did. jo mar testimonial which look the form of a diamond bracelet had been subscribed lor by friends and admirers. This was presented to the diva at the close of the crforniance by Colonel Maplcson, who afterward headed a torchlight procession of tt.000 iersons, pre ce.led hv the band of the city olice, anil eorted Patti to her hotel.

in Imlv tor the BlUltl uavr j.ii time The admiration of the Briton does .1 Dsn" often lead turn to oenave in mi" ii little witch who all heads. Mr. and Ban i croft, the talented managers of the Hay market Theater, have retired frUn stage life. It Is now twenty years since. Mrs.

Bancroft, then Marie Wilton, set up a new kind of entertainment at the Prin. of ales' Theater. This was simply well acted comedy, which, strangely enough, wu not to bo seen in anv Loudon playhouse in those days, hhe snrroundcl herself with talent capable ot helping her hold the mirror up to nature, and lo the luxurious little tluatcr iuTottcn iiain street society Hocked to sec it own image presented wiih a completeness and curacy which has rarely been approached. A marriage with hrr young lending man made her Mrs. Bancroft, and, aided by licr clever husband, this talented lady has done perhaps more for the ondon stage than uy one else in her lime.

The French plays have been a great stress. "1" ILiding Da enchanted the English people, and Sara Bernhardt exercised her wonted witchery over them ill spite of the talk we hear now and then about her voice having lost it old lone. I am constantly coming across fresh in 1. fratifli unil i stance oi eoiurai wi wv characters. Here is a new one.

Victor Huijo left a h'etctOKeueous mass of Biauuscri)t, metly consiaiinij of fraguients t. HHAtiLn lull fl lit wimoiiv B(arciii cn" inys, "relutiiiK to the whole of Lis ideas." To shape this matter into readable volumes by means of note and prelaces, will be a task demanding superhuman patience and energy. The three lit erary exeMitrsapinted by the great poet, two of whom are his intimate rienty Paul Meuriee mid Augustus Vacquerie, editors of the Huppel, esteeia so highly the honor of having the work consigned to them, that they refuse the prolit.s and royalties which Victor by his will, meant should be their reward lor sucb toil. Seeing that these profits are likely to represent a lortune, the refusal to pocket them in a proof that, yn the sojilhern side of the laiu'lish Channel, there are curious beings, ho feel tliat the acceptance of money for such a laW of love would rob it all of its charm. Compare, this with the case of Thomas Carlyle, whose literary executor, erhnps the greatest ljitlishinnn of letters, rushed into print with of Carlyle" as boon a tha earth had covered the remains ot the illustrious philosopher and historian, and, two eurs later, published the whole of Carlvle's most private correspondence.

This literary executor, at the risk ot executing the reputa nm.t...

A. Froude would be thought terribly practical in France.

A French analytical chemist colls attention to a novel method of preserving dead bodies. He has tried his invention on eleven buuian corpses and more than a hundred dead animals, auu says nas answeieu per lectly in every case. The system of burial iu use at present is a fruitful source of disease to the living, as we all know, and besides leing repugnant lo most eoplc's leclings, rob justice of a means of describim; crime. The new process is simple enough. The body is rubbed with 'plumbago, and then plunged into a bath of molien metal, clioen mmlini tik ikiM iMinrfh.

Those who do not like the idea of being given to the worms or reduced to ashes ought to hail Mr. Kervovatx's discovery with aatisfactiou, and all who believe iu keeping air and water undiluted are ready to listen to any plau for doing away with our present burial system. It was inevitable that the comic side of this idea should immediately Strike the French. Mr.

Albert Milland, the witty chronicler of the Paris Fiiairo, suggests that this might be a means of introducing a little hxity into the French Government. hi his death, the President of the Kepublic might be turned into a statue, iu gold of course, utid made to do duty lor ever and ever. It would only be necessary to have a spring fastened to the hand for the purpose of signing documents, "the late Orevy." It is true that the duties of President Grevy, like those of tiueen Victoria, Blight very well be performed by an auto nistic tuueaine. Of coursed if a monarchy tiiould ever lind favor with the French, and oust him from his yst, this golden president could be iieltetl down aud dis tributed anions; the fx or of hi parish. Doctor and patient seldom come together, is the very nick of time, a' they did the other day at Highgaut.

Generally shaking, lieu an accident occurs it takes as loni; to tind a doctor as it does lo discover a policeman when thieves are in the house. But a youug Uoinuii. who was resolved on self destruction, timed her leap from Ilighgate archway so accurately as to descend upon a nassinu cab containin a dH tor. ireat must nave been the astonishment of this gentle Ban when a patient knocked on the roof instead of at the door lor advice gratia. The jiri was killed on the spot.

President Grevy has always been an enemy capital punishment. But this year there has been a great increase of ugly crimes. At the present moment nineteen French culprits are lying under sentence of death, and the President has already sanctioned three executions since the beginning of the year to the sat is I act ion of the aceful part of the community. Physiologists have availed themselves of the opportunity to renew their experiment on the beads of the decapitated eriminalSj in order to ascertain how many seconds it takes for life to become extinct, sad even to try to proton it few seconds by ean of magnetism. A Paris aper relates as altsolutely authentic au argument used at the at sitting the Society of Biology in favor of attempting to resuscitate guillotined criminals.

The advocate of the process suggested that It might be useful for the purpose of obtaining tartly confessions of guilt trom culprits. All dtad bodies discovered in Paris, hich est not 'be identified, are transferred to a public building, called the morgue, where they are expiated to the public gaze in a Sbastly glasa room. The Paris Eveneuieot emands reform and declares that the fcsildiiig gloomy and perfect eyesore, that it ha nothing Parisian about if, in fact that it lacks ga.ety, anl is altogether unworthy of a city where cemeteries arc lovely garden, where funeral are festivals and where criminal court are glares of public entertainment, where 'execution are grand spectacular attraction, and where a siege is the excuse lor a carnival. The Morgue very glooniv, no 'doubt, and to enliven it thev "will have to put some. life into it, an Paddy would my.

MAXWELL MYSTERY I HE PARTLY EI.K1DATES IT. The Itody Found at the Southern Hotel Not That of l'rellrr at All A whom to Itcat ife Insurance Companicut St. I ori August The Giobe ljkEio i crat's San Francisco sjxvial says that well, now on his way to this city to answer a charge of murdering C. A. l'reller at the i Hotel last spring, gave an outline of his defense to a secret service "officer, who in turn eommuni aie.l it ta the corresjx'tid ent.

MaxwcH'sNtatemt'nt is substantiaily ns follows; Ili re is the gist of the St. Louis mystery which ha puzzled the countrv for i TUhs; "Preik and I were oi friends. AVe cyhitj to Boston together on the steamer Ccphaioiiiu. AVe were constant companions, and made arrangements to meet at St. Louis nt the Southern Hotel, and there tocarrv out a scheme inch l'reller had deviled for getting insurance on hts life.

We met according to agreement. We were in room H4 in the hotel for about all. the' time we spent there, but, mind you, l'reller was at the hotel (lily three days. He remained in seeluion for the remainder of "the time nt the Southern Hotel, and he left St. Louis alive and well on the sume day that 1 started West.

That wasn't Preller's body found in the trunk at the hotel. When the case comes up for trial I shall hr.ve proof of where the body found iu the trunk was procured, who it was bought of, at hat hour it was brought to the hotel, and all the de tails of the plot. can tell you now that the corpse was brought to the hotel' in a trunk in broad daylight and was carried up to room 114. Everything was arranged" to give 1 color to the theory of sudden murder ami hasty flight. Nothing was omitted which I thought 'wotrld add to this miscoji ception.

My deign was to get clear i out oi' the country lK fore the ImkJv was discovered, and once iu Australia I thought if would be easy to bury my identity in the East Inilics'nniil thing had been tor gotten. I will show you how entirely I truted l'reller and how completely I was his assistant in this scheme, when I tell you that I dou't know to how large an insurance he canied on his life. 1 knew it 'was for a big sum and gave my help iu ihe enterprise solely because lie was an old frteiid and associate. Where.Jie is, hat i rrangeuients I have forcoiiihuihicating with him, of course 'tis out of the question for me to tell, but you can rc jt assured of the accuracy of these facts havv given you, aad they will all be proven on trial. made no effort to cover my tracks.

It was simply a blind to preserve my identity.unsitspected, and to alloty me to' reach the colou.cs, which I thought could be easily before nnv tiews of the St. I.ouis affair cinild reach them. 1 didn't know that cable communication was so jerfcct, or that the news cfmld possibly le sent lo Auckland before the sttamvr reached there."
