SHOCKING SUICIDE AT MONTE CAKLO.

On Wfdneßctay tbo 27tb Deoomber another shocking soicida tcok place at Monte Carlo, and was made public. In la neceseary to ac?d these last words, as the majority of anch sad cccarreccea (say* a oorreßpon'ent, writl-'g to the "'Scote m%n ' ) are hashed up by the authorities of the Cheino. The victim la this case wan a young, handsome, au<l, antilshe be came a freqmoler of the gambling tables, a teepeclable wom%n. She was tempted to try her lack at the nnldlte tables. She loßt, and she won. Tho dread r ul papßlon for gambling was developed qqickly m her. She ficqu<nt<jd the ?»blea dai'y. Sbe ployed heavier mi heavier etakte, and at, the iiemo time p!ayed more exoltediy and rashly Her gold dimlnlahed rapidly. Like almost every woman who fr< qaenta the Oisioo fend the tables, ehe leg^n to lead a life of vice. Wha*. she eirm-d m one bad w=y the lojt In another, and bo ahe went on for many a day. On TiUßday last the went to the Caaluo as usual, but without her gll:teiiiig j swsla She had them lv her pooket Sne waa then seen In carneat converee *i'h one of those bangera-oo of the place, ' Btraa^era, they are called, who make their living m the gambling rooms thtmaelves by ad vancing to those who are • oleaned out' money on their jewellery, watohe?, and other valuablea. For a few thousand fracos this unhappy woman gave up her jewels. At once she took a place at the roulette table. By nightfall Bhe waa a beggar. She was seen to eater her hotel about midnight. She went straight to her bedroom. What she did there waß known the next day. About nine m the morning the chambermaid took hot water to her door. She knocked, but no response came, so ahe ae.t it down outside and want away. A little later the porter came with otters. He, too, got no answer to his knock. At once auepioioa was aroused. Those m the hotels at Monte Carlo are not unused to awful tragedies. The door was buftt open A light form was seen banging from the pole to which the window curtains Were attached. It waa the body of this wretched yoong woman. It was stiff end cold, Bhowing thas she had been dead some hours, but the awful expression and contortions of the face told that Bhe had abftared terrible agonies whilst slowly dying by Birangalation

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.

There is every indication of the near approach of a time of trouble on the Continent of Europe. In France the election of Boulanger for two depart ments by crushing majorities, following as it does immediately upon his re moval by the Government from his mili tary command, indicates plainly a re pulsion of popular feeling against the pacific policy of the Republic, and unless ,we wholly mistake the signs ot the times, proves that the French people are looking for a leader who will seek to wrest back from Germany the territory which she gained as the outcome of the -last war, and that they expect to find that leader m the man who is the idol of the hour. It would even seem that they are willing if not eager for a return to Cfesarism, and that .Boulanger is re garded as the coming Cseßar. Indeed, this was said almost m so many words m the Legislature only a day or two ago. Boulanger threatens to agitate till he secures the dissolution of the Chamber, and hopes, doubtless, that if he succeed the result will be the return of a majority of deputies favorable to his views. Meanwhile affairs m Germany are at a crisis. The peace-loving Frederick as yet uncrowned is, it is greatly to be feared already marked for death, and the clear-brained and iron handed Prince-Chancellor, who has so long guided the policy of the Empire, Beems to have recognised that his will is no longer to be the arbiter of events, and to have decided that circumstances have passed beyond his control. With a masterly diplomacy he has hitherto labored to* avert the danger of Germany having to encounter simultaneous attack by Russia on the one hand and France on the other. For this purpose he has built up the triple alliance, and has calculated that Italy and Austria would, together with Germany be able to stand against any possible foe, more especially if the assistance of England could be counted on. Hence he has apparently rather encouraged Russian designs m Bulgaria than otherwise, m the hope that if complications ensued they would result m Austria, Italy, Turkey, - and . England being ranged against the Muscovite power, leaving the German forces free to deal with those.of France should the latter Power seize the opportunity to fight the long impending dud. But matters are not working out altogether as he desired, and Bismarck seems, from pique or some other reason not jet apparent, resolved to staud aside and let events take their course. Russia is all the while on the alert, moving her troops like the pieces on a chessboard, so as to secure the most advantageous position for the opening of that costly game of war m which men are but so many pawns, and m accordance with her invariable policy is busy m manufacturing a pretext for taking hostile action. That policy is always to stir up revolution or disorder m the country selected as the theatre of her operations, and accordingly with the opening of spring we read that her emissaries are busy fomenting discon tent-and inciting rebellion iv Koumania and Bulgaria. If these emissaries suc ceed m bringing about a popular rising or a series of emeutes Eussia will pour m her troops and demand the right to occupy the country m the name and cause of order, but really with a view to seenre ultimate domination for herself. This doubtless will be regarded as a casus belli, and if so a collision will immediately eventuate. All Europe is a vast armed camp, and is like a powder magazine which needs only a spark to ensure a disastrous explosion, and how far-reaching may be the results of the unsheathing of the sword by any Power it is impossible to foresee. AH the indications, however, point to a Struggle which will involve every great military nation, and which may produce results more tremendous than any that have been recorded m the pages of modern history.

HoMiOWA-s's Ointment and Pills. — Colds, Coogbs, Shortness of Breath. — These maladies require early and unremitting attention, for if neglected they often end m asthma, bron chitis, or consumption. The ointment well rubbed upon the chest and back, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and carried directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood m the body is perpetually passing through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to disease can be quickly, thoroughly, and permanently neutra iissd, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. Hollowny's Ointment and Fills perfectly accomplish this purification; and through the blood thus cleased, the influence of these wonderful medicaments reaches the remotest parts of the human body, and thus cures all diseased action, whether internal 9? external,
