PAR1s.-The three largest Jesuit

PARIs.-The three largest Jesuit
schools in Paris have teen entirely
evacuated, and the authorities have
walled up the doors of the chapels of
the establishments. The new civil d.
rectors haye already been installed in
the vacant posts. With regard to the
other schools affected by the March
DEGREES it is rumored that the Govern
ment and tk4 various unauthorized re.
ligious conffaternities have agreed upon
the terms of a letter which is to take
the place of a demand for authorization
hitherto required by law. BY this let
ter the heads of schools will bind them
selves to hold aloof from political ques-
tons, and not to take an attitude of
hostility toward the present order Of
things. On the presentation Of this
letter to the authorities the Govern
ment will consider the congregations
as legally authorized.

The Setting Hen.
addest thought of tongue or pen

The saddest thought OF tongue or pen
Is the following concerning a setting hen.
which we find in Peck's Milwaukee
San: There is no use trying to get a
hen to quit setting when she has got
her mind fairly made up that setting
is her best hold. A New Jersey wo-
man put her head together to devise a
means of discouraging a hen from set
ting. She got a cast iron egg, heated
it red hot and put it in a nest under a
hen. For a moment the hen seemed
to feel that her situation was anything
but pleasant, but like the boy that
stood on the burning deck, whence all
but him had fed, the hen concluded
that she could not 60, sc she closed her
eyes, shut her teeth together firmly,
and with an expression of resignation
she went IN Matching the red hot cast
iron egg. The lady who had placed
this internal machine under the hen
was out in the garden picking a mess
VI HOCdVo UnSS, "Aoh DIG SuooSne
she smelt feathers burning, and drop
ping her basin of bugs she strobe to
the barn and found that the red hot
egg had set fire to the nest burned the
hen to a skeleton and was just getting
into the hay loft. She yelled fire and
looked aroud for something wet to
throw on the fire, but ali that she could
find that was wet was a load of pine
kindling wood that a coal dealer had
sent to the house, and not having time
to run the kindling wood through a
clothes wringer, she tainted away and
the barn and hen were destroyed.
There is no use trying to teach a hen
anything about setting.
Repartee in an admit is sauciness In
the wit of tenderyears. The Galveston
NeUs tells of a domestic scene as fol-
lows: I'm teach you to lie, and steal,
and smoke and use profane language"

Miss Byrnes' Millinery Opening-A Beau
 tifuI Exhibit.

The elegant millinery emporium of Miss M. B. J. Byrnes, 121 Orange street, corner of Court, was thronged with ladies yesterday A beautiful rich and very tasteful display, sur passing even the former most successful efforts, greeted the eyes of the fair visitors and elicited many enthusiastic encomiums The establishment has a high reputation among our most fashionable and leading ladies, many of whom graced the occasion with their presence. The leading colors this year are old gold, cardinal, cream and delicate shades of violet, lavender and heliotrope. Many exquisite hats and bonnets are shown, gems of artistic work. Not only were New Haven ladies numerous at the opening, but many purchases were made by ladies from out of the city. The openings at this estab- ishment engage the attention of the ladies, both at home and out of town, as prominent event in the world of fashion No more tempting selections can be seen in New York houses, as the best that can be shown in the metropolis is immediately appropriated for the home market, arrayed in style that is unsurpassed. The display is the finest that has ever been seen in the city, and the ladies will doubtless be out in force again to-day, as this is opening day also.
