The Chicago Art Institute has finally decided on the opening of the galleries Sundays. The inclin- ation of the trustees has been prac- tlcally unanimous in favor of this for some time, but as another set of -employes would have to be pro- vided, the financial aspect of the question compelled delay. That was settled by the offer of J. W. Ellsworth to pay the new expense for one year. Admission will be free, and the time from one o'clock in the afternoon until five.

Servia has been obliged to remain
 at the baths of Gleichenberg for the good and sufficient reason that he
 has no moLey with which to get
 away. His creditors are holding
 him for debt, and his noble rela- tives, the Emperor Francis Joseph especially, do not care to trouble themselves in securing his release, as they have had quite enough ex- perience in the uselessness of ad- vancing him money, which he quickly gambles away.
 Mayor Hewitt of New York, like Lord Sackville, has been victimized in his correspondence. The other day he received a1etter whose wri- ter complained ''that a gang of mur- derers and thieves were infesting the block bounded by Centre, Leo nard, Elm &pd White streets, and that a citizen couldn't go through that block at night" MT. Hewitt referred the letter to Captain Me Cullagh with the usual direction. The Captain replied that''the charge was trtle," but added, "tEat all the thievee and murderers were all un- der lock and key" They were in the Tombs Prison, whose exact To- cation the Mayor had apparently forgotten.
 MT. Edison has, it is stated, de- vised doll with small pnono- graph inside, which talks when the handle is turned. The photograph is placed in a receptacle within the chest of the doll, and the han dle protrudes. When it is turned the words appear to issue from the dolls mouth. Edison has also de- a clock which announces the time by speaking, the talking-apparatus being, of course, a phonograph.
 Queen Natalie has bought a large estate pearer Wafssw, and appears to be resigning herself to her di- vorced state. She has left Buchar- est, and will spend the Winter in the Crimea. The Russians have already shown towards her evidence of sympathy, which, she hopes, may eventually result in her being re- venged for her husbands cruelty. The Empress has put at her dis posal a palace, and the Emperor has gone out of his way to show his disapproval of King Milan's course.
 MT. Spurgeon's health is being greatly benefited by his sojourn at | Mentone. His supporters in the London Baptist Association have broken their connection with the Baptist Union. Twenty-two min isters, including Sturgeon, have re- tired on the ground that the Union | opens the door to members who do not hold the cardinal principles of Evangelical faith.
 Jean Mangold, the poet of Alsace, who has just died at Colmar at the age of seven-two years, was equally | famous as a manufacturer of pates de fore gras and as 8 composer in the Colmarian dialect of verses, sat ires and comedies which found | their way into every hamlet. His vaudeville, La Triple Noce dans la Vallee des Balis," with music by Weckeslin, counted it's runs at Col mar and Strassburg by the hun dred nights.
