the works about the city are fully manned

fsls riding at anchor before the city.
| The London Post predicts for the Prus-
Sans great hardships and losses during the

the title of Emperor of Germany, were pre-
sented to his Majesty by Odo Russell.

The Will of Augusta Comte-End OF
N Curious Suff i'm Paris.

A curious action has just been brought
/ to a close at Paris concerning the will of
the great Positiyist Augusta Comte. At
his death Comte left voluminous will,
the execution of which he committed to
thirteen trustees, under the direction Of
VI. Laffitte The substance Of the docu-
ment has reference solely to the publica-
ton of certain works written BY NJ. Com
te, in support of the positive philosophy,
and the authors widow objected to their
publication on the ground that their eff.
isot would be 20 overthrow the system
they are intended 10 strengthen, and to
destroy the authority of its founder.
Madame Comte is woman of high in
telligence and for long time shared
her husbands labors and studies. In
1872, however, a separation took place
between them, though they still kept up
correspondence and interchange of
ideas. Shortly after the separation the
philosopher made the acquaintance Of
Madame Clotide de Vaux, also a person
Of considerable ability, who was married
TO a convict Her painful position an
pears to have awakened the PHILOSOPHERS
sympathy, for most intimate connec-
ton was established between them.
Comte bestowed upon her the uame Of
Sainte ClOtide, and was in the habit
Of submitting to her all his schemes for
the development and improvement Of the
human race She died soon afterwards
however, leaving a deep impression upon
the minds Of COmte and his disciples:
