tenplating -thes general longevity of both
branches Ut his ancestors. Hs grandfather,
who.was q lawyer and atfo one time sheriff Of
MassefHess dled1 1885 at the age OF eighty
four. His father and his mother both attained
the ACE sor eighty years. Other immediate

The NewYe DEPENDENT contains alet-
ter from Father Hyacinthe; IN which he In
forms his American friends Of the state ot: his;
personal relationsto the RomansS See. In the
coirss 81 the leiter he explains to .thcse hon.
est and piods smilsr. VINO are erieved at his
supposed apostacles from the Carmelite Order
and the Catholic Church, that there baye been
mo-: ,apostacles. ALI nthe Ganonisrs, he
saYs,p acknowledge that there is no apostacy In
themere' temporary abandonment otthe dress
and residence of an order, and the father does
not consider himself released from his obliga-
lions. although he has become dlslllusioned,
and does not approve OF the practical workings
OF convent lie. AS to the alleged abandon
mept ofthe church, his reasoning Is similar.
There are but two things he claims that can
really, separate from the church-e1com
Gallon Justly incntred, and heresy formally and
sobstlnately rofessed; and he Is neither here
fic nor .eXcommunicate. he reYerences the.
J. Catholic religion, ,fbut not what he styles Its
serrors aud abuses, and intends to live. and die
faithful toits creed. 49,.
"a, case OF much. interest to newspaper
condGctorrss has Just been tried In an English
court: A gentleman had sent q voluntary
contribnaon to 9 daily newspaper, which was,
committed to the editorial waste-basket;
whereupor, the aggrleyed writer brought an
action for the recovery of Its value. 1t was
heldby the court that q contribution sent uI-
solicited TO q newspaper ceases to be the
property of the writer precisely as though lt
were an ordinary letter, and that he cannoti In
sist upon It's return In case It Is not used.-
This decision Is most important one. Had,
the case been decided otherwise, every editor
would be at the mercy of the tnnumerable
bores who send him perpetual contributions.
1t is practically Impossible, even were it de-
slrable, for o newspaper office TO pre-
serve and return, the hundreds OF worthless
combinations which 1t daily receives. II any
mai: thinks he can enllghten. the world by
hye.co,nmn article nponihe theory Of title
bats;She cannot well be prevented from for
warding his manuscript to some unhappy
editor. Butthe latter Is employed for pur-
pose other than that of daily returning in
Vulnerable such essays to their miserable
writer's. - 80
III the stories toldby dazzled and: bewitch-
ed critics are true, there has appeared in the
person OF Marie Marimon prima donna OF the
most astounding brilliancy. Indeed, she is
said to have usurped Missions throne in Lon
don. and cast even 'sLa Diva" Patti into the
shade. Her debut was made at Drury Lane,
Nav 9TH, In La aSomnambula, that fayorite con-
hdante OF debutautes, and the excitement she
created can only be paraIleled by the Jenny
Lind furore of ls47, when frantic crowds be-
sleged the theatre doors from daylight until
dark. She has since then deepened the i'm
preston by her assumption Of Marie, in La
tislia. 1t wohld seem tb:.t she Is gifted with
most exquisite voice Of exceptional compass,
and extraordinary powers Generalization. AS
an instance, musicians Will be astonished to
learn that she concluded long and tedious
passage with perfect and brilliant shake on
