A PARISIAN DRAMA.
.A characteristic Parisian drama took place the other day on the Boulevard Port Royal. A man of Alsatian origin, named Bistelhueber, who had been separated from his wife for a considerable time, owing to misconduct on her part, was walking along the boulevard when he suddenly saw her before him. She was accompanied by several men, whose appearance plainly denoted their disgraceful profession. M. Ristelhueber’spassions were aroused vehemently at finding his degraded spouse flaunting about among such scoundrels, and drawing his swordstick, he rushed at her. Seizing her by ihe hair, he stabbed her thirteen times in the throat and body. One of tbe wounds severed her carotid artery, and death was instantaneous. The woman’s corpse was carried away by soma of her companions, while tho others fell upon Ristelhueber and had nearly killed him when the police cSmn up, Ristelhueber is a well-to-do man, and has several workshops in which lamps are manufactured. The surgeons who made the post mortem examination of ihe woman say that she was stabbed all over the body, and that any one of the wounds would have been sufficient to cause her death,
