A veteran aged 76 has been fined

The Oldest merchant in Copenha-

The spread of fever has lately been
directly traced to attending wakes, and
the medical papers in England are ask
ing the Roman Catholic clergy to use
their influence against them. The cler-
gy have long tried to abolish wakes, but
hitherto with little success either in Ire
land or America.
-Some little excitement has been
created in Paris by the publication of
'.The Legend of Magenta" in which
the author aims to prove, by the aid OF
official documents, that MacMahon is
not entitled to the credit which he re-
ceiyed for exploits in the Italian cam
paign.

So the room remains to this day as Watt

with priceless designs and moldS, many
of which are by Flaxman, who was one
OF Wedgwood's friends, and helped es-
