During our last outing masy sad, sad cases came under observation. Some had just sold daughters or wires ; others were away trying to sell their wives and children.

A ticket was left with the elder daughters would poison themselves rather than for them, and a man was sent off at once to the diy which was 20 miles disust to bring them back. We afterwards learned that the messenger found them before any of them were sold, so they came home very happy.

PARIS, April 15th.
The events taking place in Belgium may be the forerunners of a revoluilen if the Chamber | and the Government refuse to grant universal suffrage as demanded by the people. If the opposition of the Government to the popular will continues a revolution is possible, and if a re- volution breaks out a general European war will be inevitable.
There exists, it appears, a treaty between Germany and Belgium by which Germany has undertaken to re-establlih order in Belgium if the Belgians are unable to do it themselves. This treaty was seen by Gambetta fifteen years ago. Prussia would immediately occupy Liego and a neighboring fortress. The reason of this intervention is that the labor districts of Rhenish Prussia and Belgium would be a source of real danger to the Prussian monarchy.
