The English people have - been much ex
cited over the trill of Risk Allah,on a charge
of murder, of which he has been honorably
acquitted. An English paper famishes the
following interesting account of his wonderful
life :
What strikes us is Risk Allah's wondrous
life and adventures. It combines every re
quisite for a romance of real life.' It exhibits
a very remarkable character and a still more
remarkable career. In literature there are
two picturesque books which wo seemed to
bo recalling when wo surveyed Risk Allah's
life as portrayed by himself and by undeniable
facts; and . that they are- two of the
most charming books in modern literature
does no discredit to the present hero. It is
only in the fictitious bi graphics of Gil Bias
aha Anastasius that we can recall anything
like the romantic and varied incidents of
Risk Allah’s chequered and prosperous life.
There is this resemblance, which is very
prominent, that both the Senor Santillano and
the modem Greek of the late Mr. Hope’s
Story often got into apparently discreditable
positions; but luck and subtlety and a re
markable fortune slwayß extricated them,and
they died, as far as worldly goods go, pros
perous and thriving gentlemen, scarcely
scratched by the picaresque as well as pic
turesque events ot a stormy and stirring life.
Risk Allah was a Syrian, bom in the Leba
non, of a respectable family—we use his ad
vocate’s biography, as well as his own auto
biography, throughout. He passed his
youth in ancient Damascus, the very place
of all others to train the Bubtle Oriental in
tellect His first patron was a person no less
distinguished than one of the first soldiers of
the age, gallant Lord Strathnaim. The Sy
rian of the day, like the Greek of the day,
reproduces the ancient type of char
acter under new conditions. In old
limes the busy, scheming, active, intellec
tual Syrian ot the Romano-Hellenic comic
drama contrasts finely with the slow intellect
Ofßome. __Thcre is.no reason “to suppose that -
the supple cosmopolitan Antiochene or Da
mascene of the first century is not reproduced
as to national character in the Syrian gentle
man of the nineteenth. Syrus in Thamesin
dqfuxit Orontes; Risk Allah came to Eng
land to study medicine, and to push his for
tune, and succeeded. He got into some
practice and good society, a 3 most handsome
foreigners, well furnished with poetical eyes,
sonorous name, and exceptional antecedents
can often do. And he had the good luck,
just as the heroes of‘Defoe and Le Sage, to
take p»rt in the most stirring events of the
day. He tvent out to the Crimea for profes
sional purposes; aud, just like the heroes
of Ouida and Ouy Livingstone, combined
the prowess of Rustam with the graces of a
Sister of Mercy. Turkish orders, decora
tions, letters, purstes, piastres, fame and medals
rewarded the gallant Bsy; aud in 1857,
crowned with glory, he returned to England.
Here was just the material for a marrying
man. Of course he sought, or was sought
by, a wealthy widow. Handsome foreign
ers aud Oriental names always get these
tonnes fortunes. Mrs. Lewis, a wldowr
gave herself to the charming stranger; he,
fortune exceeding twenty thousand pounds.
Mrs. Lewis had a touch of romance about her
associations at any rate, for she had a nephew
who was not as other nephews are; he was
her sißter’s natural child. The marriage only
gave the happy bridegroom, Risk Allah,
.£3,000 down; but in two years Mrs. Risk Al
lah died, leaving to her husband the whole of
her property, except £5,000, which was to go
to the illegitimate nephew on his attaining
the age of twenty-one; failing this life, the
£5,000 was also bequeathed to Risk Allah.
In thq meantime Risk Allah, a man of versa
tility, Bkill, and adventure, did as a good many
other high-spirited peraonß have done —ex-
changed the arts of war and medicine for
those of financing. Ho was now a capitalist,
dealt in shares, extended his transactions,and
London, Paris, and Constantinople were the
scenes of his investments and speculations.
Exactly two months before young Readley
came of age, he committed suicide at
Brussels, and the coincidence excited so
much attention that Risk Ajlah was tried for
murder, but was acquitted on the proof of
suicide. By his marriage with Mrs. Lewis,
Risk Allah therefore acquired between £20,-
000 and £25,000. All his connections and
acquaintances seem to have a touch of the
romantic —or, as they say, the sensational—
about them. We had nearly forgotten some
trifling details of the same character. On one
"occasion Risk Allah had the ill luck to get
shipwrecked, and to loose as much as
£6,000 of jewels, for which he made a claim
on the insurers of the ship. Everything in
connection with Risk Allah is splendid, Orien
tal, and gorgeous. His wife had jewels of
great value. If he negotiates a loan, it is for
a round million. And not only is he ship
wrecked once, but twice; and, like Dogberry,
he has had his losses, and heavy losses too —
£6,000 of jewels lost, as aforesaid, in ship
wreck in the Mediterranean, and £3,000 of
hard cash lost by an upset ia a boat on the
Bosphorus. The divers could not recover,
though they tried, all this treasure, audit is to
be hoped that the owner has been more fortu
nate with the Insurance Companies. Mrs.
Lewis, however, was not the only wealthy
person whose acquaintance Risk Allah was
lucky enough to make. At Brighton he fell
.in with a gentleman of moßt stupendous spe
cialties,lor he used to drink ten bottles of wine
a day, and had very queer associates of the
gentler sex. Tnis Mr. Bingham was
enchanted with Risk Allah; and though their
acquaintance only lasted three months,
it being terminated by Mr. Binghams death,
so attractive was Risk Allah to this
ten-bottle valetudinarian that he was ap
pointed his only child's guardian and in
trusted with all sorts of pecuniary and other
very delicate transactions So Btrange and
nnusnal were these events, that Mr. Bing
ham’s executors made a certain charge against
Risk Allah about a mysterious two thousand
guineas, shares, and bonds, and all sorts of
. things. As in the case of young Readlev's
death, it all turned out well at laßt, for Risk
, Allah waß exonerated. We have here quite
the substance of a novel; the hero is alwayß
getting robbed and shipwrecked, and always
being persecuted by false charges; always
getting into prison, and always getting out of
it; always being tried for his life, and always
being triumphantly acquitted.
But this was not aiL This varied and ex
citing life was to have one grand and crown
ing bouquet of pyrotechnical sensation. Risk
Allah got acquainted with one Osman, and
another adventurer. These precious people
had the misfortune to be very notorious
thieves, and one ot them at least was a con
victed swindler and robber; and, on the
principle noseitur a sociis, unfortunate
Risk Allah was charged with being an
accomplice in his friend’s frauds. But he
was on this occasion a dupe, and with all his
varied experiences of men and manners the
accomplished Syrian was victimized by a
more accomplished Turk. However, things
. have all come straight Riak Allah has vin
dicated his entire character, and to his other
snccesseß he has had the finishing touch by
getting & verdict tor the mysterious sum —
everything about this history is mysterious— r
of £O6O from the Parly Telegraph.

Remarkable Trial for Poisoning.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Daily News, writing on the Ist instant,says:
In a cause celebre, recently tried at Posen,
the prisoner's crimes almost eclipse those of
the notorious Palmer. A master bookbinder
named Wittmann was accused of having poi
soned Bix persons in six years—namely, his
four wives and two children!
Wittmann had worked as a journeyman for
a bookbinder named Pirach, of Wollin, where
he made the acquaintance of Marie Gehm,
Pirsch’s housekeeper. Wittmann was on a
visit at Wollin at the end of 1858 and begin
ning of 1859, oh January Ist of which year
Pirsch died very suddenly, and Marie
Gehm, according to a previous engage
ment, came into the possession of all ;his
property.
Soon after this Wittmann commenced bus
iness in Wollin, and in February, 1860, mar
ried Marie Gehm, who, in addition to Pirsch’s
property, had also inherited some money
through the sudden death of an aunt. Tw«
sons, John and Paul, were the result of this
marriage. Mrs. Wittmann died very suddenly
In 1862, leaving all her property to her hus
band and two children, of v> hom the eldest
died in the same mysterious manner three
months later.
In June, 1863, Wittmann married his se
cond wife, Charlotte Hohn, who possessed
some fortune. The latter made her will
in the following December, leaving every
thing to her husband, and died a week after
wards.
In April, 1864, Wittman married his third
wife, Augusta Komotzky, who was richer
than her predecessor. Her fate may be de
scribed In almost the same words. She died
in August, 1865, leaving her property between
her husband and her mother.
Only two months after her death Wittman
married his fourth and by far the richest wife,
the widow Bose, who had one child by her
first marriage. This child sickened immedi
ately after its mother’s wedding, and died in
a day or two, by which the fourth Mrs. Witt
man inherited itß property. Wittman then
removed from Wollin to Posen. It is hardly
necessary to add that the fourth Mrs. Witt
mann’s life was not of very long duration. a 9
Bhe died in September, 1866, having made a
will in favor of her husband a month or
two before.
Under the pretext that she had died of
cholera, Wittmann had made arrangements for
burymg her the day after her death. But
the extraordinary mortality in the Wittmann
family had already excited attention. The
police here took the matter up, and their first
suspicions were strengthened when they found
that Wittmann had called in no medical
advice. WfpSbann was arrested just as the
funeral was about to start, and the burial of
the body was prohibited. On searching the
house a large lump of arsenic, sufllcient to
poißon a hundred persons, was found locked
up in a chest. All the bodies of Wittmann’s
former wives, as also those of his two child
ren, were then exhumed and submitted to a
chemical investigation. The result was the
same in all six cases: a large quantity of
arsenic was detected, and therajeouid not be
the shadow of a doubt that Wittmann had
poisoned his lour wives and two children.
He has been found guilty and sentenced- to
death.

Christina. Siliion.
ITramUted for the Cincinnati Commercial.)
Christina NUaaon, the young Swedish can
tatrice, who will visit the United States next
fell, and whom many excellent musical.
critics have unhesitatingly pronoupped fully
equal to Jenny Lind, is ot very humble
descent, and M. Mahalin draws in his spicy
work "Lea joliea actricea de Paris," the
following interesting sketch of her past life:
“It is snowing. The skies, all black as
they arc with night and cold,-commence
turning gray in the east. After awhile the
sun rises in the mist. A vague bluish light
seems to descend with the snow-flakes. Here
and there pines and birches covered with
icicles tremble and moan in the wind. In a
sort of ravine are to be seen a few wretched
cabins; from the snow-clad roofs, made of'
bark, ascend blue clouds of smoke; those who
look out of the low windows of these cabins
behold a flock of ravens on the dazzling white
plain.
“We are far from Paris, fifty leagues from
Stockholm," in a miserable village of
vince of Smaland.
“Let us enter one of these hovels, which
seem to have been made rather for wild boars
than for men.
“The poor people here live in the same
room with their cattle. A miserable stove
emits painful sounds, In the middle of the
floor. On the ground, in a motley group, lie
goats, sliepp and children, stretching their
necks wistfully toward the kettle on the
hearth. These children are dressed in rags.
Under a window in the roof sits the mother
spinning. The father, smoking' a pipe, sits in
the corner of the room. Every now and
then are heard from without the merry sounds
of jingling sleigh-bells, or the dull noise of a
horse galloping past; a sleigh darts past with
lightning speed. In the same manner there
appears and disappears a fur-cap, fur-robe, a
fur-jacket; then the father’s voice drowns the
noise of the spinning-wheel, the seething ket
tle bn the hearth and the hissing green wood
in the stove.
“Christina!” .
From the group of the children there emer
ges the shapely head of a very pretty girl,
surrounded by a crown of straw-colored, soft
and silky hair.
“Christina, take your violin and go to the
bight! ”
“In this manner Christina Nilsson entered
upon her career as an artiste. What a con
trast between the highway; on which she
once, when a little girl, playedjthe violin, and
the magnificent salon in which an enthusi
astic audience how lavishes applause' on the
great cantatrice! And yet not. more than
ten years have elapsed since her debut.
“Ten -years ago a distinguished ■ Swedish
gentleman ascended that hight, heard the
little peasant girl play the violin, caused her
to conduct him to her father, and said to him:
“Nilsson, I want to make you an ofier. Your
daughter is a talented child. Intrust her to
me, and 1 am sure I can make a great artiste
of her.”
“Old Nilsson, a sharp and clear-headed
peasant, knew full well that his little
daughter possessed extraordinary musical
talents; and, inasmuch as the aristocratic
stranger gave him several gold pieces, and
promised to send him more money from time
to time, he did not hesitate long; and little
Christina, after bidding farewell to. her
parents and brothers and sisters, and shedding
a tew tears, accompanied the gentleman who
had promised to make a great artiste of her,
and had already won her young heart by the
great kindness with which he treated her.
Two days afterward Christina reached with
him the city of Gothenburg, where a
new outfit was bought for her, and
where every Dody who saw her In her
new dress .exclaimed, “What an exceed
ingly pretty child!” Her protector then
took her to a boarding school, where she was
bo industrious and made such rapid progress
that a year afterward she could already be
sent to Stockholm, where she studied music,
and where all professors and musicians who
beard her sing wondered at her extraordinary
talents, and said that at length a worthy suc
cessor of Jenny Lind had been found. Upon
her first appearance in a public concert,
where she sang a few simple national songs,
Bhe electrified the whole audience and elicited
the most rapturous applause. Finally, when
her professors in Stockholm could no longer
teach her anything new, she went to Paris,
where Professor Wartel completed her musi
cal education, and where she soon after
achieved such marvelous triumphs on the
Stage of the Theatre Lyrique.
“And what a difference there is between
that wretched room in the low hovel in
the Swedish province of Smaland, and the
apartments in which the cantatrice now
lives!
“Her apartments are on the fourth floor of a
large and very fine house in the Rue de Rivoli,
and the Tuileries are to be seen from the win
dows of the salon.
“The salon , the only place in this sanctu
ary to which profane persons have not as yet
gained access, is in white and gold, and its
furniture is covered with blue damask. It
has only one window, and three doors; that
on the right leads to the bedchamber of
the mistress, that on the left to the room
of the lady of company, and the third com
municates with a passage leading to the ante
room.
“The mantle-piece is made of Parian mar
ble,and so beautifully wrought are the bronze
ornaments on it that it cannot but delight the
eyes of all lovers of the style of Louis the
Fifteenth. There is, however, nothing at all
of those little knicknacks indicating the coco
dette or coquette. Against the wall, oppo
site to the window, stands a piano; beside it a
sofa and a gueridon. The piano is loaded
with music books; the sofa and gueridon are
loaded with bouquets.
“The hands of the clock point to mid
night
“Before the piano sits a youfcg lady. Her
dress, tasteful, though simple, reaches up to
the throat Her Band, with the shapely,
though somewhat long fingers, touches the
keys of the instrument, while her eyes wan
der about the room, and are fixed now on her
handsome slippers, now on the window cur
tains, through which the gas-lights of the Rue
de Rivoli are to be seen.
“She is absorbed in deep reflections ; she
seems to listen for something in her past.
Does she not, perhaps, think of the immortal
masters to whose compositions she has just
given expression ?
“No, she calls to mind the
Childhood ; she hears again those words
which speak more impressively to her' heart
and soul than the music of Mozart:
“ ‘Christina, take your violin, and go to
the bight!”
A. Strange Story.
The Telegraph extracts from a petition to
the House of Commons a singular story relat
ing to one John Parsons, convict No. 3,94?,
now under sentence of penal servitude in
Pentonville prison. If somebody had caught
Noah’s raven when it was wandering up and
down the world, and clapped it - into a cage,
the bird would be the analogue of “No.
3,942." At nineteen years of age he was.tried
and convicted for the heinous offence of bur
glary, and sentenced to fifteen years transpor
tation. He served three of his fifteen years
within gaol in England, pnd was then shipped
to Western Australia, where he passed an
• other four years and a half in the S van River
vconvict prison.- Having behaved well there, he
''obtained a ticket of leave, which enabled him
to become servant to the brother of the
commandant of the prison. Here again
he lived an exemplary life, so that his master
gave him acertificate ofgood conduct,and he
was set at liberty with a pardon, after having
thus passed ten years out of the fifteen! He
ssys in.his petition that he lost the document
granting his pardon, but ibat he believes it
gave him permission to go to any part of her
Majesty’s dominions, except the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Act
ing under this belief, according to his own
account, be went to Adelaide, and there he
was immediately recognized a 9 a pardoned
convict, and taken before a bench of magis
trates, who informed him that he must get
out O'f Adelaide within seven days, or be sent
to prison for three years. Port after port re
fused him entrance. Adelaide cast him out
upon Melbourne. Melbourne ejected him,
and turned him over to Singapore; Singapore
would have nothing to do with him, and
drove him on board the Valvisb,
which to. .be. bound. ..for
"London ; so to London he came. If his
story is true, and the man’s veracity can be
readily tested, he Beems to have had no other
choice than prison or suicide. Of course no
one can blame these proud young Australian
colonies for sternly warning on our social
leavings from their shores. Nevertheless it is
high time that there should be some distinct
provision for the return of pardoned convicts
from the colonies. They ought to be helped
and directed to spots of the globe—if there
be any such—where they may rest their
weary and penitent spirits, ana not turned
loose to wander over the earth with Cain’s
mark upon them, and then pounced upon
again and clapped into prison, when, sick of
respect for the law, they sneak into the first
quiet hiding-place which they see.
The Laieit Literary Larceny Some
thing: More about “foul t*lay.”
Readers of “Foul Elay” who have been
curious to know the relative proportion of
work done upon that volume by Charles
Beade and IMtift Boucicault, may be gratified,
by the developments made In the following
letter published in the PaU Mall Gazette;
"To the Editor of the Pall Mail Ga
zette : Bin—ln your impression cf yesterday
I observed a letter referring to the drama of.
‘Foul Play,’ by Messrs. Reade and Bouci
cault, and speculating as to what would be
the validity of a marriage contracted in a
desert island by two of the characters, Helen
Rolleston and Robert Penfold, an English
clergyman, under circumstances described in
the drama. lam unable myself to give an
opinion on the legal point, but perhaps by re
ferring to the precedent I may facilitate the
deliberations of more competent persons.
“Owing to the very few teceift discoveries
of uninhabited islands in real life, I am obliged
to seek my precedent in the pages of fiction.
The only one I Can conveniently place my
hand upon is not exactly analogous in char
acter, inasmuch as the male contracting par
ty is a French marquis instead of an English
clergyman, and the scene of the wedding a
deters part of Africa, instead of a newly-dis
covered island; but Btill thqje is a sufficient re
semblance in the circumstances attending the
suppositious marriage in each case to render
the French one worth quoting.
“I select the following incidents (forming
part of a complicated plot) from a drama by
Messrs. N. Fournier & Meyer, entitled ‘Le
Portefeuille Rouge,’ produced at the Theatre
Beaumarchais for the first time on the 16th of
February, 18G2:
“A certain M. Maurice, who afterward
turns ont to be the Marqois de Rochebrune,
has been sentenced to the galleys for murder
. and robbery. He escapes from Brest-iu a
small fishing vetse!, and is picked up many
miles from land in a dying condition by a fri
gate commanded by the Comte de Kerveguen.
On board this frigate is the Count’s daughter
Helene, who recognizes in Maurlee a gentle
man who has haunted her footsteps in the
Tuileries, at mass and elsewhere, and for
whom, notwithstanding they have never in
terchanged a word, she has conceived a sen
timental pasßion. The ship’s doctor, who
has served at Brest, identifies Maurice as an
escaped convict, and the first impulse
of the Count de Kerveguen is to j
hang him at the yard-arm; but j
yielding to his daughter’s entreaties, he spares
his life, resolving to hand him over to the j
proper authorities at the first French port at ;
which he might arrive. The vessel however, j
is wrecked, and Maurice, Heline and a ‘
comic sailor, contrived to reach an unin- j
habited part of the coast of Africa, where they j
remained for six months with no other society j
than that of an onrang-outang. Maurice con- i
vinces II elene that he is innocent of the crimes ■
imputed to him, and their love, conceived j
even before their aotual acquaintance com- |
menced, having ripened under the burning :
bun of Africa, they mutually resolve to conse- j
crate to each other the remainder of their ex- ;
istence in the following terms: j
“ ‘Helene —I am an orphan, Maurice! for if j
my father had been alive he would have
sought me before this. Free, therefore, from
all ties, in the presence of this sublime nature
and its Creator, I swear, Maurice, to be your
wife.’
“ ‘Maurice—And I receive your vows upon
my knees, swearing to consecrate my life to
you. Now come what will,' Ac.
“Shortly after this somewhat irregular mar
riage ceremony, the Comte de Kerveguen,
who has also been saved from a watery grave,
arrives on (he coast in search of his daughter,
and, notwithstanding Helene’s remonstrances,
persists in Carrying her off, leaving Mau
rice, whose marital claims he declines to
recognize, behind on the desert scene of his
wedded life..
“For a time Mauriee is unheard of; but
just as a certain M. de Folbert, whq has
kindly consented to overlook the African in
cidents and their results —a fine little boy—is
about to lead Helene to the altar (a circum
cumstance which shows that at all events the
validity of her first marriage was question-"
able.) Maurice again turns up, announces
his proper rank and name, convicts the
would-be bridegroom of the crime for which
he (Maurice) had been unjustly condemned,
obtains a free pardon, and,, let us hope, for it
is not stated in the drama, takes the proper
steps to legalize his union with Helfine.
■“lf the quotation of this precedent fail to
throw much light upon the legal question
raised by your correspondent, it may serve,
at least, xo expose the cruel way in which
French authors are apt to anticipate and
caricature the most original ideas of our most
r B of her
original writers.
“I am, sir, your obedient servant, M.
