An Ecclesiastic's Crime.

Canon Leon Bernard, gan subject, is
the defendant in suit in Boston, in which
the King of Belgium appears as plaintiil.
For O long time prior to 1851 Bernard held
the ecclesiastical position of canon at Ant
wcrp, being also chancellor or treasurer to
the bishopric of Journal. He enjoyed the
confidence Of his sovereign to such an extent
that he was entrusted with the funds of
church and state, amounting to several mil
lions francs. Obtaining permission of the
Bishop of Journal to visit his parents in the
suburbs of his diocese, he set out posthaste
for America, taking with him very large
amount Of money and valuables Cohen,
the surprised Bishop learning the facts, and
in order to avoid unpleasant publicity
wrote to the fleeing chancellor, promising
him immunity from punishment if the mon
ey and valuables were restored without de-
10y. Bernard snapped his fingers ut the offer
a trusted canon, who came to New York on a
similar GRAND, returned to Belgium with
empty pockets. Afterwards detectives were
put on the track of the fugitive.
Bernard, who was then in Montreal, had
the audacity to send Mr. Goodhue and attor-
ney, to Brussels to negotiate compromise.
Mr.. Goodhue had hardly time to make the of.
fer torelinquish sixty per cent of the stolen
property if Bernard should beallowcd to re-
tain the remainder without prosecution. be-
fore he was arrested and clappcd into pris-
on as all accomplice. Subsequently con-
siderable portion of the stolen funds were
recovered from the Credit Ltomnaisr. Paris.
where Bernard had deposited it. At last
after series of adventures in do,l%iny de-
tectives in Texasand MeXic, once meeting
his pursuers face to face mt Galveston holel.
andthrowing them completely off'the scent by
his etrontery, Bernard was arrested June Il
at Havana. THOUSAND; of dollars were
found upon his person. Some thirteen keys
supposed to belong to boxes and safes in
various safe deposit companies, were also
discovered. The probability is tina, the
-shrewd fellow has divided up his i'll gotten
gains, and placed only small amount in
any one concern. Therefore unless the pris-
oner confesses, the chances are tha, the
King of Belgium, Bishop of Journal and
others interested will find difficulty in re-
covering any considerable portion of their
lost revenues

HIPpopHAGY IN FRANcE.-It is hardly

fifteen years since horse mule and donkey's
meat made its first appearance in the Pari-
sian market as material for food, and
though there was then considerable preil-
dice against it, this feeling has undergone a
remarkable modification. The following
numbers, taken from all official report are
very striking: In 1873 the consumption
was 1000 horses and q few asses and mules
for 1880, 5000 and 800 asses and mules: for
1881, $500 horses and 400 asses and mules
The clear produce in meat being 200 kilo.
grammes from horse and fifty kilo-
grammes from an ass, it follows that Paris
has eaten in 1881 1,S6O,OOO kiloprammes ot
horse meat and 10000 kilogrammes of the
meat of donkeys and mules. Thee num-
bers do not comprise the heart, brain, liver,
tongue, &c, which are reserved for the
making of sausage meat. We may note
here that there actually exists in Paris FORTY
butchers specially established to supply
horse meat.

A NEWSPAPER protesting TO be democrat
ic, published just north of this city, says the
nomination Of the republican candidate for
Congressman at large in Virginia is demo-
cratic blind which can deceive none, and q
newspaper that is democratic published Il
little farther North, abiding to the same
nomination, says it is a Malone blind in
tended to deceive democrats 1t is most re-
markabie but nevertheless true that the
mere fact that the Potomac river flows along
the northern border Of Virginia seems to
render it impossible for people living on the
opposite side of that river, friends as we'll as
foes, to get correct idea Of anything re-
lating to her political affairs, and the injury
that results to Virginia democrats from this
incomprehensible ignorance on the part of
their friends is just as serious as that nilict-
ed by the majority of their enemies. The
republican nomination is neither demo-
cratic nor Malone blind, but was made by
those Virginia republicans who do not think
Mahoneism is republicanism, who are op-
posed to conscientious republicans being re-
moved from Office to make room for men
who were until recently their most proscrip-
tive political opponents, and even now dare
not proclaim themselves republicans, and
who are not willing to subordinate them

rious repubicanism that now disports itself

Keeping Lice off Setting Hens.

A correspondent of the American
Poultry Journal gives the following
directions for keeping setting hens
free from parasitic vermin: when
about to set a hen, take nail keg
and soak it until water-tight; saw 1t
in halves, and put in it two inches OF
water; into the water put one-halt
ounce of solution carbohc ACID
Close to the surface of the water fit a
thin piece of perforated board; put
over this piece of flannel, and then
put in fresh earth enough to shape a
nest and line with cut straw. Now put
in few drops of oil Of sassafras
about the nest, put in your eggs and
hen, and over all put barrel with an
arched opening on one side. BY tins
method eggs may be safely Matched
in January or February, even II IN .

A Word to Girls.

The woman who is indifferent to
her looks is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to look
well, to please, and it is one of her
duties to carry out this intention Of
her Maker But that dress is to do it
all, and to suffice, is more than we
can be brought to believe. just be
cause we do love to see girls look well,
as we'll as to live to some purpose, we
would urge them to such course of
reading and study as will confer such
charms as no modiste can supply.
A well known author once wrote a
very pretty essay on the power of ed
ucation to beautify. That it abso-
lutely chiseled the features; he had
seen many a clumsy nose and thick
pair of lips so modified by thought
awakened and active sentiment as to
be unrecognizable. And he put it on
that ground that we 50 often see peo-
pie, homely and unattractive in youth,
bloom in middle life into a softened
Indian summer of good looks and
mellow tones.

Table Economy.

In no part of housekeeping will
the effect Of good management and
skill be more perceptible than in pro
viding a good table. The French un
derstand this to perfection, and can
arrange the daintiest dishes from
most inexpensive materials. A bit of
meat, a few vegetables, a slice of
onion and a bay leaf, becomes some
thing wonderful when simmered in
their saucepan. We are learning
many things from them. The roast
beef, that formerly disappeared to be
seen no more, we now find equally
good warmed in its gravy the next
day. And the bones, once thrown
away, are found to make the most
nourishing of soups, even if almost
bare Of meat. They must be boiled
slowly on the back of the range all
day. The second day add any vegeta-
bles and any hayoring preferred.
The remnants of a knuckle of veal,
mutton, or lamb, boil in the same
way. Turn the shreds of meat and
the liquor into form. 1t will make
a jelly when cold. Then slice a few
hard boiled eggs in dish and turn
the jelly over them. 1t makes an ele
giant dish for tea, when you have
guests, and takes the place of tongue
or ham. A little trouble will enable
one to set an inviting table at small
cost To do it, however, we must
always have the best of -four This
is true economy. 1t will really go
much farther, as there is more wheat
in it, and it swells in using, and every
thing turns out well. With poor
-four, the housekeeper is continually
disappointed in her most careful ar
rangements and her temper is put to
severe test. The New Process
Flour" is said to exceed in excellence
and healthfulness all other kinds
