PARIS STREET OUTRAGES.
A Dalziel's telegram from Paris to an English paper the last week in Ausust states that the unprotected state of. the Paris streets is becoming a grave scandal, robberies with violence, and often wtth' murder, being of nightly occurrence. Bands of roughs infest all streets, so that the disgrace is not limited to any ono quarter in particular. The favourite method adopted is to lasso the victim with a running noose, and then, while he is lying half strangled, to rob him of all money and valuables he may possess. If he resists, and manages to cry for help, he is promntly stabbed. During the past week 16 cases of this sort of outrage, havo been reported to the police authorities, but so lax isi the police department becoming tnat up to the present not one arrest has been made, nor does any effort seem to be made to cope with the evil.
