A PARIS MYSTERY.
The mystery of the Ruo Vortbois is in a way to bo cleared up. Tho refitted little girl whose body w.is found in that street in n night-dress of fiuo lawn, trimmed with dainty lace, the post mortem has brought out was not murdered. She was simply suffocated by one of those large intestinal worms that got into her throat, and when she was perhaps coughing entered tho windpipe. The parents were terrified at, there is reason to believe, her sudden death, and from fear of being denounced aa her murdereis by malevolent neighbours, and of undergoing the torture of perhaps detention, followed by un assize court trial, agreed to leave her body in a lonely street in a part of the town where they were not known.
