1t has been noticed that during
the recent season at the ROYAL
Italian Opera, Mile Patti never
wore diamonds. Such iewelry as
she was obliged to wear in Trayiata
and Faust was all false. This is
attributed to the fact that under
the French law the whole of the
personal property of a wife against
whom a verdict of separation has
been given, belongs to the disconso-
late husband. The talk of PATHS
partisans is that the Marquis de
Caux has taken advantage of this
law. Others, again, say that she
did not wear jewelry for the express
purpose of making the public be-
lieve that her husband had taken it
away from her.

Editors OTTAWA FREE TRADER-m the RCp,tb-
Ncaa of Thursday lasts We find an article in re-
gard to the reunion Of the lIeckcr Regiment, in
which the writer takes Il high moral view OF what
he is pleased to call Sunday demonstration.
This did by no means come unexpected, as it
conforms exactly to similar utteranccs cmanating
from the same and kindred sources, condcmning
without stint all and everything that does not
bow to the same shrine at which they worship.
Allow us to make short reply to the said writer.
1t is well known or at least it ought to be by this
time, that the Germans, as Il people, consider
Sunday day Of rest and recreation, and that the
habits they have acquired from their earliest
childhood are such, that they can never be recon
ced to the vigorous and austere satra'nesS OF the
day. While very large number Of them attend
church in the forenoon regularly, they, with their
families, enjoy the balance of the day in imo-
cent rccreations, and do not believe in shutting
themselves up like trappi-ts, Now We, as SOL
Giers during the time when our adopted country
needed strong arms and willing hearts, found
that Uncle Sam never asked lis whether we want
ed to march or fight on Sunday or not; and we
concluded that a reunion on Sunday would not
therefore be an objectionable sin. Besides, and
let us impress this on the writer of the highly
moral article, most Of the veterans Of the 24th
III. Vols. are workingmcn, who can lily afford to
lose two or three days in the middle Of the week;
lie cannot certainly blame them for economzing
time or else he is no believer in the doctrines Of
Benjamin Franklin.
Let Us state in conclusion, Ncssrs. Editors, that
we dc not in any wise intend or wish to interfere
with the church going public, and have made all
our arrangements with this in view and recall
ing TO the memory of orer.xcdlous christians the
words OF our lamented Lincoln: "With charity
towards all, with malice towards none, we close
with the remark that We shall be pleased to see
anybody who feels no compunction about joining
US, vile with true charity wc leave the res; TO
their own individual opinions.
