The brains of James IL. of England have
lately been discovered at the old Scotch COL
lege in Paris. The dethroned monarch took
such interest in the seminary that he be-
queathed to it his brains. and the relic was

containing both James II S brains in leaden

massacre, and flung the relics in as worthless
