his action without COSTS declaring that the statement
Of the Figaro in all respects true, that Coll de

Recently the Bishop Of Orleans had occasion to
sppeal 10 bis flock in behalf of those suffering in the
manufacturing districts OF France. After magni6-
cent celebration of high Mass, he said: my
frieuds. this is tine for deeds and hot for words.
You have heard OF the distress which reSns IN the
manufacturing districts of France. You know that
come to plead before you u the eDd that char
ity may be awakened, and that you may hasten 10
their relief valiant king, whose name Is siiIl

YOU are French; there is the enemy; forward

have no enemies but we have starving brethren;

sermon. The effect was marvellous; ladies responded

THE Island TO Sicily had 2ll nautical miles Of length,
and weighed in air two tuns per mile the cable con-
sisted Of a seven-strand copper wire covered with
three coats Of gutta percha, and thIe of compound
70 diameter Of tbree-eightbs Of an inch, then
sewed with tarred yarn and closed with bright iron
wire. The famous and shadowy parsonage widely
known in this country, called Ode sauty," super.
intended the electrical arrangements.
We in this country have heard OF /" Hollowsy's
Ointment" though it is peculiarly an English qusck
remedy, II has covered the dead walls Of London
with staring placards for long time, aud hss been
mine Of profit to many journals. Now. through tie
French chemists, ito ingredients are made known to
The world appears that the proprietor of this noe
uum, aing himself " Professor" Holloway, made
Al agreement with Swedish physician, by which
b. would obtain permission for the sale OF the ONT
nept in France. the Government Of that country
being worthily careful Of its suIec;s health.
The Swedish doctor submitted a pot Of the medicine
70 the Official chemists, who yzed it, and declared
ii to be composed OF butter, lard, Bordeaux turpen
tine white wax, yellow WAX, and-nothing else.
Tbis result having been obtained, the French Gov.
erament had no longer any fear for tue popular
bealth, and authorized the sale Of the article. Ia
fortunately the patent was granted for " Pommade
d.i LoLoray" and the inventor Of the harmless
compound refused 10 pay the five hundred pounds on
,e ground that the patent should have been for the
sale Of 'onguenf' and not Of "poD,made." An ac-
lion wae brought in London for the amount, dictiou
sries were oyerhauled, Dr. Jobnsons celebrated
work being apparently the only authority regarded
~ worthy thought in England and il wes found
that .'pomatum" was all ointment, this definition
being fortified by quotation from some ancient poet
d year OF two this side Of Chsucer. Consequently
pomade is an ointment and consequently the Swed-
i.h phy,ician did introduce the sale Of Hollowsys
Ointment, and consequently could recover. Mesn-
while those who have been D the habit Of using
largely Of the remedy may soc that at least they
have dealt in harmless article.
Next to "a woman with grievance" Il woman
