\ FRENCH SoLoMoN.-A sugar re-
finer at Lille generously fitted up the
room adjoining his engine-room as 4
steam-bath, and allowed all persons in
the town seized with the cholera to be
brought thither. Not one of the persons
exposed in this steam-bath died Of that
disease. One woman, 4 factory girl in a
cotton mandatory Of Lille, was SO
scalded during bath as to be unable to
work for two days, and with singular
ingratitude she brought suit against her
benetactor to recover the two days
wages she lost. The Judge, summoning
all his gravity to his countenance, thus
addressed her, after hearing her and her
witnesses testimony: Madame. |
should not hesitate to sentence the de-
PENDANT to pay the wages of the two
days you have lost could ! at the same
time force him to restore you the cholera
which you yourself confess you lost in
his house; unable to strain my power
so far, | must dismiss your ease" The
audience approved by great laughter
the judges decision, and the woman,
covered with confusion and pursued by
jeers, quilted the courthouse.

the taxes from negroes. They refuse to
pay, change their names, residences, and
float over the State to avoid the tax
gatherer, and generally when they are
picked up there is no money. So the
collectors do not know what to do, as
the law provides no remedy.
