Louise de ID Rance, other wise known 81
"Ouida," is dead. This strange woman
has written great many books which have
attained a world wide popularity but were
not recognized as standard. She wrote Of
European society in . style that society
has never forgiven, and from the manner
in which she has been criticised and abused
must have told many impalatab,e truths.
Ouidsss pages have much of false sentiment
and abound in glaring unrealities. but she
redeemed all this by the subtlety Of her
tonch in pictures Of natural scenery and
the vigor Of her descriptions of striking
dramatic evente. She wrote with .
stronger hand than any woman that can be
named and the fneness and delicacy of her
fancy was incompatible. Who can
not recall her graceful description in
"Pascarel" of those little italian towns.

Ouida, shortly before her death, wrote
to the London Times on International copy

authors without those authors leave and

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

The Annual Meeting of the Victoria
Phi osophical Institute of Great Britain
took place at the House Of the Society of
Arts, London, on the 3Oth of June, the
Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, K,
g., in the chair. The meeting was very
fully attended. Prior to the delivery OF
the address, "On the Credibility of the
Supernatural" by the Right Hon. the
Lord O'Neiil, the honorary secretary,
Captain F. Petrie, read the report, from
which it appeared that the total number
Of members was now upwards of 900, a
greater number than usual, especially of
colonial supporters, having joined in the
past year, during which papers and short
communications written in furtherance of
the Society's objects,-namely the investi-
cation OF philosophical and scientific ques-
lions, especially those said to initiate
against the truth of Revelation, had been
contributed by several leading men of
science, including his Grace the sDuke of
Argyll, K. g.. F. r. s., Sir ]. Fayres, F.
r. s., Professors Stokes, F. r. S., Boyd
Dawkins, F. r. s., J. w. Dawson, F. r. g.,
Nicholson, F. r. 8. E., Balfour Stewart,
F. r. s., Mr.. j. Bateman, F. r. s., and
other Fellows of the Royal Society, besides
Professor Huges, DR.. Rassam, and others.
The report closed with special tribute to
the newspaper press. The treasurer's re-
port showed that a considerable advance
has been made by the Institute. Amongst
the speakers were Sir H. Barkly, K. G. B.,
G. G. NJ. g., F. R. s., Sir J. Fayrer, K. C.

correspondent of the Philadelphia Times.
He is a great lawyer-one OF the two or
three really big lawyers in the Senate.
He has always been a modest man, but
whatever he has had to say he has said it
as well as Edmunds, Thurman. or even
Don Cameron could say IT, However.
that has nothing to do with the story.
Garland has always been liberal drink

why) he il so popular in Arkansas, where
than to shoot him. although not at all
averse 10 the latter on certain occasions.
Coming to the Senate Garland kept up
his habits. and became personally one Of
the most popular and lovab.e men on the
floor. Everybody likes him and every
body respects his integrity no less than
with Vest, Thurman. Edmunds, Voorhees,,
Bayard and the others, and became also
famous rs story teller. When he
came to Washington last fall he
surprised the jolly Senators by refus-
ing to take a drink in one Of the
committee rooms. At once he had half a

made him let up. He finally answered
them:
