The man and the law-the law which gives
so little protection to the woman. Did d.
vorce exist in France Nine. de lilly could
have spared herself years of suffering and
insured the future independence of her
| children. The man is perhaps less to
blame than society, which howsoever
severe in regard to his actions with man,
closes its eyes to his conduct towards
| woman.
On high eminence in the very center
of the Bots de Mendon may be seen an
immense building on near road to
completion. 1t has required some
years to pile these great cut stones
one upon another, for solidity has
been the chief object in view.
There are two buildings almost adjoining
one is intended for aged priests, the other
for orphan boys, both erected by
THE DUCHESS OF GALLIERA,
Who is one of the rich women of France,
and employs her wealth in this generous
manner. The buildings are magnificent,
and all the comforts invented up to the pres
emit day are to be brought into requisition
for the aged priests, as well as all advan-
tages to be furnished to the orphan boys.
The good that wealth may perform when
the owner is dictated by generous and no.
BILE sentiments Each year greater number
of Americans come to Paris for consider
able length of time; not the rich, as was
only the case in times gone by, but artists
and students whom poverty and illness
sometimes overtake. There are hospitals
erected at Paris by the representatives OF
different nations, but there exists no hos
pital for Americans. What an excellent
opportunity to do good and earn
the lasting gratitude of her coun-
trymen for a rich American woman
tthe richest in the world) to construct
at Paris, where she resides, a hospital for
her suffering compatriots
An anecdote is told of the Duchess of
Galliera which proves the magnificence of
her manner of giving. Some time ago,
when on visit to the building being
erected through her generosity, she per-
ceived the architect mounting the hill in
his buggy, drawn by horse which seemed
scarcely equal to the task. " You find
some difficulty in reaching this high emf
