MR, JAMES GORDON BENNETT had a most enjoyable time during his recent visit to the Pyrenees region. The Paris press are wont to affectionately refer to MT. Bennett as "Jim James" He ran a mail coach three or four times a week be- tween Pau and Lourdes, with the gor- geous accompaniments of a guard in scarlet and a big bugle. One day he dis tinguished himself by entering the hall where a charity concert was in progress, dispossessing the leader of his baton, and pounding an extemporaneous Wagnerian march on the desk until he quashed it, whereon he paid the leader 1000 francs for bis baton and departed, the chronicler says, with the precision of 6 cork-ball shot out of wooden gum" The witty Emile Villemot says that Jim James recognized no one as his master during his visit except the very heady wine of the locality.-Pdris Letter.

 A LEAvENwoRTH, Ks. special says that the district court of that County has decided the recently executed prohibitory liquor law unconstitutional. Mir. Holmes, a druggist, of that city was charged with four violations of the law: First, selling bay rum for toilet purposes second, in selling a tincture of gentian compound for medicinal purposes; third, in selling McLeans cordial for medic inal purposes, and fourth, in selling essence of lemon for culinary purposes. The in- formation filed by the county attorney charged that the articles sold would produce intoxication and that MT. Holmes had no permit to sell the same from the probate judge. Thel defendant moved to quash the information, claiming that it did not state that he had been guilty of public offence. Judge Crozier in sustaining the motion to quash delivered an elaborate opinion, the main points of which are as follows: That under the amendment the constitution can not prohibit, but only regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors for mechanical, medici- nal and scientific purposes, but that in at tempting to define the meaning ofintoxicat- ing liquors he says that any liquor or mix ture thereof that will produce intoxication shall be considered Intoxicating liquors in the meaning of the act, and 1t shall be pro hibited, and hence the allegation that the articles sold were intoxicating liquors, in the meaning of the law, must be taken as true, therefore, the court held that inas- much as the law undertook to prohibit the sale of articles which, under the amend ment it could only regulate, it was uncon- stitutional, and that the act was further in contravention of the constitution, be- cause it undertook to confer judiciary powers upon the probate court. The gist of the decision is that such articles as cologne and tinctures are prohibited by the law, but that the law itself is unconstitutional,
