LOLA MoNTEs.-This bold, handsome and ad-
venturous danSeuSe, in whose history there is so
much of romantic incident, is again the subject of
newspaper paragraphs. We are told that g she has
for several months past been occupying the chateau
at Pregny, on the North shore of the Lake Geneva,
known as the Chateau L Emperatrice, from having
been the residence of the Empress Josephine, and
subsequently, also, of Queen Hortense-and where
she is duly awaiting the arrival of the ex-King Of
Bavaria. She has fitted up the chateau with ex-
qusite taste, and now passes her days in quiet and
contrast with the strange scenes of her eventful
life. Much of her time is spent on the lake, and in
command of her little yacht lie COrSair, manned
by crew of youthful volunteers from some of the
best families in Geneva. She takes great pleasure
in showing hospitality to those amongst her friends
who find ont her retreat, but far more-and to her
credit be it said-in the exercise of almost I'M
bounded charity to the poor i'll her neghborhood,
by whom she is much beloved

ANCIENT BUILDING DESTROYED. = At fire in
New Haven, Conn, on the 18th inst, among other
buildings destroyed, was the "Atwater House, the
Oldest building in the city-having been erected
30 years ago, by Jonathan Atwater, one of the
first settlers of the town. 1t was built of timber
cut on the ground where it stood and for many
years the only tavern in the place During the Re-

singular fact that the property has remained in the
family of the who built it, to the present day

DEMOCRACY WORSE THAN FELONY IN IRELAND
Last April it was proposed in Dublin to establish a
journal to be called The Democrat but the govern
ment officers refused 10 allow it to be registered,
Directing 20 the name. On Martins trial it was
urged by the prosecutor that the name itself of his
paper, The Felon, was evidence of its reasonable
character. Mr.. Butt replied, then why did the
Government allow it to be registered The jury,
feeling the force Of this reply, asked the Judge if
The Government had the power TO refuse TO register
onaccount Of the name. He thought if it had, the
power had not been exercised. But the case above
referred to Of The Democrat was brought forward
TO show his mistake
