Paris Correspondent of the New York Tablet.
The Courier de Brt4rees gives the following account
OF miraculous cure effected lately by His Holiness
Plus IX:-
A reiiglebse OF the Order OF the Sacred Heart,
the Rev. Mother Julia N, daughter Of one OF the
most distinguished diplomats OF Belgium, after a
violent nervous attack, had her right arm so com
petey parayzed that it had be bandaged 10 boards

the bones OF the fingers and elbow had become dis
placed and, as II were, dislocated.
In vain had the medical men prescribed change or
air Al Vienna whittier she first betook herself after
ward Rome whore she arrived about the end OF sep
tember the disease assumed even more aggravated
FORM The sufferer, nevertheless cherished secret
hope that she would be cured, and through her oeng
at Rome If she could but see the Pope She obtained
an audience October 10. His Holiness at nrst sur
prsed the request that had been made 10 MN,
and wishing too perhaps to Try he iah oi tne ne N,
miracles " But he Immediately ADDED, "fut your trust
In Cod for nothing is impossible to His mercy" Then
the Pope became Tor instant engaged in prayer then
addressing the invalid he said, my daughter, have
faith-that faith which moves mountains"
He several times repeated the same words 70 her,
and having asked her name he took occasion from II
TO insist faith ''St Julia, - he said gave
her life for Jesus Christ and she proved by her mar
tyrdom how ardent was her faith" Having then
taken the ring OF the religious profession which the
invalid her left hand he blessed II aud made
her place the finger OF her right hand "At that

the blood resumed It's circulation throughout
tho entire arm" The Pope then bade her
make the sign Of the cross but as instnctvely and
by the force Of habit she about 10 make II with
the left hand mo no not like that" SAID the Holy
Father "the sign OF the cross must be made with the
right hand, the Catholic sign OF the cross rms she
did second time without the slightest hesitation and
in perfect manner. She was cured. On her return
TO the villa Santa she was able to write, the
day, long letter Of thanks to the Pope.

In the last Legislature to provide seats for all passcn

trial haevdence that he had agreed to sell the
counterfeit money in question to Porter govern
ment detective, who represented himself TO him as
1t had been taken for the purpose Of having it de-
stroyed as evidence against Congdon. On that trial
Judge Dttenhoeier, the counsel OF General Mank.

purpose of not selling IL with intent
deiraud. The jury, however, convicted Mank, for
which he was liable TO fifteen years Imprisonment at
hard labor His counsel subsequently moved for new
trial before Judge Benedict, before whom the trial
had, the ground that the Judge had erred in his
ruling the trial After a deliberation Of several
months Judge Benedict acknowledged his error and
granted a trial This trial commenced
last Tuesday and ended yesterday On this trial
the Judge ruled that 10 convict the intent TO deraud

to the Jury determine from all the facts whether
Mank had ever such intent from the time he came in

several hours coniended first, that evidence It
was not known that Mank ever had the money. and,
