[Per Mail Steamer at Auckland] While searching the House of an Anarchist named Gramier at Montpelier, France, on June 28th, the detective burst in the door of the room where he was at supper. Grainier immediately sprang to his feet, picked up a long and sharp knife, plunged it into his abdomen, and with a few swift Sums disembowelled himself. He expired almost immediately.

Now come the Royal rermin and rascally politicians with pomp and splendor They claim all this credit, while you are condemned to the work-house, and to tho pauper's grave, in order to glorify those lazy swine who live by our labor/' Upon searching the prisoners' lodgings a printing press and a mass of Anarchistic pamphlets were found.
