THE PARIS MURDER.

PENAL SERVITUDE FOR LIFE. /miss assooutiok.l PARIS, 16th October. Gaillard, the murderer of Miss Henrietta Carey at Mont Valerien, a suburb of tho city, hasibeen sentenced to penal servitude for life. Miss Carey, who was an English governess, was strangled to death in broad daylight. When Gaillard Mas arrested he had in his possession the victim's watch and money. Ho confessed he committed the crime during an irresistiblo fit while in a state of drunkenness. The man, when apprehended, had a narrow escape of being severely dealt with by his fellow workers. Enraged at tho hideous crime of one of their own mates, they fell upon the man suddenly and tore him from the polico Other inhabitants joined them, and for a moment .it seemed as if the murderer would not escape out of their hands alive. At last, howevor, police reinforcements came up, and the criminal was got away, badly mauled, and half dead with fright. A few minutes later, as ho was being driven off in the prison van, tho factory hands overtook the latter, formed a cordon across the road, and made a determined attempt to overturn the vehicle in order to catch the murderer, announcing {heir intention of pitching him into the river close by. It was only with tho utmost difficulty that the police got through tho crowd with the van and went off at a gallop. Oaillard is described as "a tall, strong man, of dark complexion, wearing a heavy, drooping moustache." In his pockets was found a picture postcard, addressed to a girl to whom ho says ho was engagod,*nnd bearing the following inscription, in which is a gruesome irony: "From my timid solf to your simple Bell. May this gift be my pledge, nnd let the motto be yours, as it is mine." The motto in question on the card is: "Hope is a loan borrowed from happiness."
