The 24th of. September was fixed upon for the performance, and it was determined to invite thadeadiiig actor toireakfaat at the villa of Clignoncourt. Mile. Jouard thereupon suddenly awoke to a pious regard for the interests of society in general, and of M. Ragouleau in particular. To prove her own innocence by-a . timely nevelation and to save a millionaire from a violent death was to follow at once the instincts of humanity and the dictates of prudence. ' Although ill at the time, she hastened to Ragou lead's housff f he was not nt home, but enjoying the balmy days ef early autumn at his country seat. From this oozy nest he was soon roused by Jouard, who sent to him a trusty emissary with full details pfthe plot., . Ragouleau, incredulous, naatenea to rans. He no ' sooner reached his hoase than, tha concierge placed in his hand the fatal invitation to breakfast. tVith a single bound he was w wb preicciure , m me juue Jerusalem, and the rest of the story has been already ioia. The police were satisfied that the plot in all its details was to be earned out. Upon the trial the mother and daughter were found guilty of the attempt to ex tort money by force and' violence, but innocent of the attempted murder, and received the severe sentence of twenty years , hard labor and exposure in the pillory j the-, two aoocunplloeB were Berrfimng, nouki e removed at least natiy teneed to five yeara' hard labor. On the day of their exposure jn the open square in front of the Palais de Justice, much pity was expressed by the crowd for these poor women, guilty, it is true, but hardly realizing what they were about, egged on by an emissary of the police, and brought to the threshold of crime by terrible provocations. There was no mitigation of their sentence, however, and they suffered the full penalty of the law in the prison of St. Lazare. v. "''''.'-' ' V' Xetompaper Advertlntita.

Thisbeinsr the case, it lios perfectly within the province of every hoiMhold to remove any souroe of infection to which his house may be liable.
