the lake there is no Atlantic wave, and no
ocean g~round-swell, and, consequently,
never In the worst storm the great motion
of our seas but there is the short, sharp,
breaking wave, which is both dangerous
and inconvenient, and also the terrific
Alpine hurricane, which is not to be de-
spised. The ports on both sides of the
Channel have been surveyed, and the
necessary plans for harbours, sc. compile
ted they are designed to be capable of
easy entrance in all weathers and at any
state of the tide. The boats will run into a
covered Water-station, so that all transfer
either of passengers or goods will be etfec-
ted in still water, and under shelter from
wind and rain. The English harbour
will be at Dover, and can be convenient
ly approached by both the Chatham and
Dover and Southeastern Railway. Il is
proposed to form the French harbour at
a spot between Cape Grisnrz and Bou-
Iogne, where the depth Of water and the
approaches are highly favourable for such
a work. The steam-vesseIs to he used
will be four hundred and fifty feet long,
and are to be propelled by engines OF
fifteen hundred horsepower. They will
make the passage from shore to shore in
one hour and, from their great size, mo-
ton in any weather is expected to be al
most imperceptible. The carrying out
of this great work of international ON
munication would result in a saving of
time of two hours in the journey between
London and Paris. The total expenditure
is estimated at less than two millions,
and the time required for the full compile
ton of the works is about three years.
That the project, if carried out, is likely
to be a profitable one, may be Inferred
from the results of the working of the
ferry on the Lake Constance. 1t is now
doing lis daily work of railway commu-
nication, taking over trains of fourteen to
sixteen laden wagons at one time. The
cost of the goods per ton per mile is from
three larthings to five farthings, including
interest on capital, depreciations, and re-
pairs. Of course, anything like this rate
applied to a ton of passengers is enormous
ly profitable. The advantages of such a
system of communication have been well
pointed out by Mr.. Scott Russell, who
says: The comfort of taking your bed
carriage in London, and not having to
leave it till you awake in Paris, need not
be enforced and the economy and expedi-
ton which must arise from sending goods
right through to their destination with
out change of carriage or wagon, is
thoroughly appreciated by all merchants
and shippers. That the trade of Europe
with England would enormously increase
who can doubt? while the mails of India
would reach Brindisi or MarseilIe in the
same carriage in which they would be
slowed by the post-ofice officials Of St.

forwarded to this country a Sum of nearly
3,OOOI, and caused an English settlement
to be prepared by which the fund was to
be vested in Mr.. Matthews and his son
on trusts in favour Of her grandchild after
her own death. These arrangements were
studiouslv kept secret from her husband.
Madame Promo, however, died before she
could execute this settlement. While
yet an ertremiS her husband was sent for
he came, but only to find her buried.
Having discovered in the house some of
the papers respecting the proposed settle
ment, he commenced proceedings in the
Court at Bordeaux, claiming the entire
fortune of his wife. Judgment was given
in his favour to the full amount, but he
succeeded in obtaining possession only of
the property III France, amo uniting to
nearly 6,000L Messrs. Matthew refused
to deliver up the trust funds in their
hands, and it was with the view to COM
pei them that NJ. Pronj6 filed his bill in
the Court of Chancery. On Saturday
Vlce-ChauceIlor Malins decided against
the plaintiff, Diminishing the bill with costs.
We entirely concur with the condemna-
ton which the Vice-ChanceIIor passed
upon the conduct of NJ. Proni6. For a
husband to insist upon appropriatlng the
earnings of a wife whom he had aban-
doned to her own resources formore than
80 years was, to say the least, ungenerous';
to be dissatisfied with five or six thousand
pounds Of such piundcr and to ask for
more was rapacious and to 20 so far as
to snatch away the provision which his
wife out of affection had made for her
orphan granicbiId was a mean and ruth
less proceeding. But whether the plain
tiff in so acting was claiming more than
his legal rights is quite another matter,
and on this point, so far as we can Judge
by the report Of the case, the decision of
the Vice-ChancelIor does not seem so sa-
tisfaCtory. He had to decide according
to French law, and preferred TO follow the
opinion of the ar0catS who gave evidence
at the instance Of interested parties, ra-
Their than the judgment of the Court of
Bordeaux in the case itself. The infant,
however, had not been a party in the
French proceedings. The principal ques-
ton for solution was the Interpretation of
the restrictive clause by which the wife
was prohibited from alternating, except
with the husbands consent, any of the
property acquired during the coverture.
1t was argued that, notwithstanding this
restriction, it was permissible to the wife,
without her husbands consent, to provide
at least in a moderate manner, for "moral
obligations" and also for the "small pro-
prieties of life )" that, looking to all the
circumstances, the maintenance by Ma
dame PRONE Of her iIlegi,imate grandchild
was to be deemed either a moral obliga-
ton or one of the small nrnnrieties- Or

The report which we published on
Monday Of the case of ''Pronje v. Mat
thews," heard before Vice. Chancellor
Mains, discloses a strange example of the
, 1869-07-09

The plaintiff, Eugene Prone, married
Harriet Shean in the year 1929 in Paris,
and a settlement in the French form was
duly executed, containing provisions by
which the property of the two was to
pass 10 the survivor, and the wife was
debarred from alternating, without the
husbands consent, any property that
might be acquired by her during the COW
erture. They had scarcely been married
a year before the wife commenced an iu-
trigue with one Joseph DemailIy. In
1882 a son was born, and registered as
Leon Pronje. In the year following his
mother eloped with Demailly. She was
forgiven aud restored, but almost imme-
diaIeIy afterwards renewed her intrigue,
was discovered, aud now confessed that
the child was not the child of her hus-
band. She made great efforts to obtain
her husbands forgiveness, but NJ. PRONE
was implacable, and the two separated
never to meet again. In course of time,
N. PRONE attached himself to a mistress,
and became the father Of several children.
His wife, shortly after the separation,
formed an acquaintance with a DIR.
Chcyrot, and, after living with him in
Paris for two years, went with him, IN
1886, to India, accompanied by her child,
who passed as their SON. In India they
lived together until 1647, when DR..
Cheyyot died. Harriet PRONE, or, as she
was then called, Madame Chevrot, was
now left alone in the world. Her child,
Leon, had been taken from her several
years before. In 1S4I Eugene PRONE
claimed him, sent for him to Europe, had
him educated, and obtained for him o
cierkship in the French Admiralty. But
the boy early fell into bad ways. In
1852, when scarcely 90 years old, he
formed an Illicit c%onnexion with a woman
named Julie Camille Simon, whose hus-
band was alive, though Leon PRONE was
not aware of the fact. The result was
the birth of a child, the defendant, Hen
riette L6onie Simon. AT this time the
grandmother was still in Calcutta. She
was a partner in the house of Greenfield
and Co., provision merchants in Calcutta,
and was making a small fortune. But
she did not forget her son in France.
From time to time she supplied him with
means, and in 1858 she persuaded him to
60 through the ceremony of marriage
with Julie Simon, and to bring her and
his child over to Calcutta and there settle.
This they did, but he died in 1856. The
next year Madame PROBE returned to Eu-
rope, having accumulated about 100000.
She settled in Bordeaux, and soon com
menced a correspondence with her hus-
band, expressing contrition, entreating
him to forgive her, and to come and live
with her and share her competence, This
offer the husband declined, probably be-
cause of his mistress, of whose existence

great cause of disease is improper food
and hurried eating. In order fully to un,
derstand how to eat and now to conduct our
selves after eating, it is necessary that we
should be acquainted, in some measure, with
the process Of nutrition. Many persons tum>
bic their food preciptately into their mout lis
and swallow it without mastication, contrary
to express laws of nature. Food should un>
dergo thorough mastication and salvation
before it enters the duodenum and becomes
mixed with the bile and pancreatic juices.
This bile is there secretcd by the liver. The
chyme having undergone the changes advert
ed to is urged, by the peristaltic motion Of the
intestines onward through the alimentary
canal. If the peristaltic motion be dimin
ished, owing to the deficiency Of bile, the prog.
ress OF digestion is retarded sand the bowels
become constipated and dyspepsia often fol>
lows. In such cases borough and active
carthartic should be used 10 produce specific
action, arousing the secretions and produc.
ing free bilious excavations. The best or.
ticlc for this purpose is DR.. Roback's Blood
Pills, the of which should be followed by
