The practical effect of the recent law in
California which authorizes jurors, in re-
turning verdict for murder in the first
degree, to decide that the penalty shall be

that the Advance did not indorse the

'to dry wet clothes in Paris, and am very

The parishioners of clergyman in
Scotland, in expressing to him the aver

The Italian courts have decided adverse
ly the claims of the heirs of Plus X for
100000 liros which they alleged was due
them from the Italian government. Under
the Papal Guarantees this money was
granted to Plus TX by Italy; but he always
refused to take it. Now the courts declare
that the money was granted to Plus as
Pope, and not as private individual, and
that his heirs have no legal claim upon it.
HE Chicago Advance, in speaking of the
growth of Crongregationalism in the West,
shows that in the last twenty years in Illi-
nOis, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Mime
sofa. the number OF Congregational COM
municants has increased from two to five
or six fold, and that the same is true of
the cities, as we'll as the country. But it
omits to say, probably it has not the basis
on which to state, whether the increase has
kept pace with the increase of population.

CHARLES j. DIXON, confined for sixteen
months at the Wards island lunatic asy-
lum, New York, was lately brought before
the superior court ON writ of habeas
corpus and was declared by the referee ap-
pointed by the judge to be of sane mind.
The incarceration in insane asylums of
sane men and women on allegations of in
sanity from motives of revenge or to gain
property benefit, is getting to be quite
too common. A physician, an alleged sex
pert for bride may pronounce a person
of sound mind insane, and thus secure his
or her assignment to an asylum.
