The Germans, like other nations, have their
own peCuliarlucs In the choice and treatment or
domestic animals, whether Of the useful or orna-
mental class. Rabbits are never eaten by them.

pubic seem so entirely engrossed by the trial Of
Muller that they are almost obliyiOus of the
death of their distinguished countryman, which

An ecclesiastical commission has lately been
held in Paris to decide on the increased tariff for
the chairs hired to ladies in the churches and
chapels Of Paris, IL having been proved to demon
stTatiOn that in space which, ten years ago
accommodated n hundred persons but thirty
seven can now find sittngroom Naturally an
enormous deficit in the church revenue has been

There is q trouble in the Grand Duchy of
Baden between Church and State about law
relating to public schools. Even the Pope has
interested himself in the matter, and has written
note about it, in which he declares that che has
learned, not without great trouble of spirit from
various reports, that in the Grand Duchy Of
Baden the directors OF the public schools have

TO dangers in instruction and education and from
day to day lead more and more to alienation
from the wholesome supcrintendcncc and care of
the Catholic Church." There is however, it is
sad no fear that the Baden Government will be
frightened from its enlightened procedure by all

During his visit to Copenhagen the Prince Of
Wales went to the opera with his wife and the
royal family Of Denmark. After the performance
the royal cOrtege moved at a walking pace
through vast crowd of people; "and thus, says

citizens the dcarer beings who accompanied him,
his Queen, his two lovely daughters, the heir of
his hopes the brother Of his heart, and the guest
sOn-in-law from the distant island, the heir ana
the pride of old England"
