Among the pri- | soners was an infantry soldier named | Mottais, who came from Havre. Whilst | in the penitentiary last October, he | threw his wooden shoe at the head of | the visiting surgeon, and when bfought up for trial appeared to be, sorry for his offence, listening without comment to the evidence of the surgeon and chief warder. : A third witness was called in the person of a trooper named Beuzeboe, | who had also been in the penitentiary for desertion. Whilst there, being ! himself a native of Havre, he had! struck up a very warm friendship with Mottais, and conceived the idea of committing a similar erime in or- | der to have the same punishment | awarded him, and so not. to be separ- | ated from his comrade. = Accordingly he had. scarcely been" brought into! court before be sprang on to the steps of the dais on which the officers were sitting and flung his kepi violently in the face of the president, accompany- bing the act with abusive epithets. On the colonel asking him if he was | sorry he replied that he had come ex- | Ipressly to do what he had dowe. Then | amd there he was arraigned for strik- ing a superior officer, and after a brief deliberation he was sentenced to death, whilst Mottais was given ten years' hard labor. When Beuzeboc--who had beens taken back to prison and was condemned .in his absence--was told of the verdict, he grew ashy pale and nearly swooned away. The extraordinary severity of the sentence must serve as a terrible ex- ample of the strict notions of dis cipline in the French army. Denth | | 1 "POPE BREAKS PRECEDENT.

King's Ship on India Voyage Has Ss Every Luxury, 7 One realized within a few minutes of setting foot on board the Medina, the floating palace, in which Their Majesties sailed for India, that no ef- fort was spared to make the vessel as comfortable as a modern palace. It was fortunate that the vessal was not nearly completed when the P. & | 0. Company agreed that she should become H.M.S. Medina for the pur- pose of the King's voyage to India, As a consequence, the necessary transformation of the vessel has been\ a comparatively simple matter. Cer. tainly no greap structural alterations were required The principal decks are the boat- were | iB mpeiiain, | deck, the hurricane deck, the spar | deck, and the main deck. .It is the | par deck which chiefly attracts the pwasitor, for. here, inthe fore part of { the sKip are the royal apartments. » King's suite of rooms are situated on the port side, and the Queen's on | the starboard side. Each consists of a sitting-rosm, bedroom, dressing- room, and bath-room. A blue Wilton carpet, of trellis-work design, was laid in each of the King's roams.. The sitting-room is furnished with a magnificent desk of inlaid ma. hogaty (from the Vietoria and Albert) a fairly large bdokecase, and a num. ber of easy chairs upholstered in blue ; morocco. On the writing desk there is a miniature keyboard, by 'means of which the King is able to ring for his private secretary, the admiral, equer- | Ty, valet, or attendant, Leading out of this room is the King's -bedroom, - His Majesty will sleep in a white enamelled swing bed, which can be made stationary at will. There are two wardrobes and a chee) of drawers -- all of inland satinwood. The furniture in the dressing-room adjoining is of a similar kind. Fhe, Bath-rean is most elaborately equip- ped. : A' light green Wilton earpet, of similar design to that used in the King's apartments, was laid through- out the Queen's suite of fooms. The furniture in Her Majesty's boudoir is of inlaid satinwood--as, indeed, in all her rooms--tastefully upholstered with green and cream silk brocade: In one corner of the reom there is a handsome writing desk, The bedstead 1s silver-plated, and bears at the foot a representation of the crown. The wardrobe is faced with two large oval mirrors, and there are two chests of drawers. The dress. ing-room is equipped with a swing bed, similar in design to the King's. Close to the royal apartments is the dining saléon, which extends the whole width of the deck. It is panel- led in light oak--upon which are dis. played the King's monogram and crown--while over. the rich Wilton ¢arpet. of royal blue wre 'scattered Persian rugs.
