The recent publications in France
about Cardinal Caprera has called forth
reminiscence from the Gazette de
Frame, which shows that the Cardinal
was something Of wit. 1t was the
time of the concordat and everybody
was making friends with everybody else.
Caprera was papal legate at Paris.
The Able d'Amabrie solicited release
from his VOWS, secularization and the
recognition Of his marriage. After
reference to Rome the legate an
nounced, "The Holy Father recognizes
and rati6es your marriage, non ad 0Ol-
nptatem sed ad beniteatiam Freely trans
lated, mot for your pleasure, but for
your punishment'), you have the woman
and you must keep her. This is the
penance that the Pope imposes upon
you" This remarkable decree is said
to be still on record in the ecclesias-
tical court. The ya6onteuy is silent as
to the manner in which the lady in the
case accepted this very uncompliment-
airy finding.

A novelty in the way Of bridges has
been brought to the attention of the
authorities Of London recently, it being
designed for construction across the
river Thames, below London Bridge.
The length, as contemplated, by this
plan, will be $50 feet; the waterway
will be obstructed by two piers only,
leaving clear way of 200 feet in the
center when the draw is open. These
piers will be crowned by towers about
200 feet in height, and in which will be
located machinery for lifting the bed of
the bridge to the other side for the
passing ships and steamers This con-
stitutes the general plan Of the struct-
ure. The two piers are connected by
an upper roadway, of good dimensions
over which pedestrians can pass when
the draw is open, hydraulic lifts being
provided for ascent and descent.

An admirable work has just been
completed by Pope Leo XII, at the
cost of $aoo, 900, subscribed by Roman
Catholics in all parts Of the world. He
has built close by the Vatican, a
cholera hospital, capable Of holding
200 patients and fitted with every APP
pliance the latest discoveries of science
show to be desirable. Patients when
admitted, are at once divested OF their
clothing, which is thrown into disin-
fection canal They are then taken up
stairs by hydraulic elevators and placed
each in room by himself. Each room
contains vapor and hot-water baths.
Patients in state Of collapse are put
into Theoretically closed glass room
filled with steam. The chapel of the
hospital opens directly into the Vatican
and the Pope will personally visit the
patients and superintend the hospital
work

that evidence to show electors were
not qualified wrs aliunde, and this
made the nickname of"Aliunde Joe"
The Democratic members voted un-
iformly that the commission had a
right to 20 behind the returns, while
the Republicans voted one day that
they could and the next day that they
could not, according as which course
would give them an elector, so that
the vote stood either 10 TO 0 or 8 to Z.
1t was not until year after Hayes
had been seated that it was discover
ed the return from Louisiana had
been forged, that there was no valid
Republican return from that State,
and that tie Republican members OF
the commission bad hoodwinked the
Democratic members by keeping the
forged certificate (passed 8 to y in

before the Potter Committee it was
found that the signatures were in

The Origin Of "Mr," and Mrs


The history of those everyday titles
of Mr.. and Mrs, which arc now the
common property of every one, is not
without interest, though in some of
its steps ii is little obscure. In the
earlier times of our history the or
binary man was simply William on
John; that is to say, he had merely a
Christian name without any kind of
"handle" before it, or surname after
it. Some means of distinguishing
one John or one William from anoth7
er John or another William became
necessary. Nicknames, derived from
Il mans trade, or from his dwelling
place, from some personal peculiar
:ty, were tackled on their Christian
names, aud plain John became plain
John Smith. AS yet there were no
"Misters" in the land. Some John
Smith accumulated more wealth
than the bulk of his fellows, became,
perhaps landed proprietor, or am
employer Of hired labor. Then lac
began TO be called in the Norman
French of the day, the "Maistrc' of
this place, or of that, or Of these
workmen or of those. In time the
"Maistre" or "Maister,' as it soon
became, got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Mattress Smith,
But gradually the sense of possession
was lost sight of, and the title was
conferred upon any man who had
attained social distinction 0fany kind
whether by mere possession OF
wealth, or by holding some position
of more or less consideration and
Importance. 1t is only within
comparatively modern times that
! the term became 10 bC
considered an almost ind's
! pensablu adjunct to every ones NAME
, when mentioned in ordinary CONVEX
| saton or writing. Maistrcss Smitl
| soon become Mistress Smith. Exact!
: how and when the term got corrupt
ed cannot be said. Master Smith
however, remained Master Smitl
( long after his wife became Mistrcs
Smith.

A Bonus for Large Families,

From pemorest's Monthly for octobarl
There has been smaller Increase
in the population of France than in
any other civilized country. In five
years the addition TO the number Of
its people was less thau2 per cent,
or about the same rate Of increase as
annually occurs in The United States.
The incrrase-in Great britain is24
times greater than in France. ltfol
lows the latter country las fewer In
hahitants to the square mile than
England, Germany, Austria, Holland,
or Belgium. This is a matter that
is seriously alarming the French, as,
in military sense. it places them at
a disadvantage with rival nations,
especially the Germans, whom spite
of cmigratiunare rapidly increasing
in numbers. The French Legislative
Chamber, 10 encourage large families,
