A Daughters Revenge.

Paris Correspondence of the London Telegraph.
Much amusement has been caused here by
the trial OF an action in which NJ. de Caste, the
deputy for Brest, sought to have his daughter
who IL forty years Of age-declared incom-
petent to manage her own affairs. The lad
was married to a NJ Esquirou. NJ. de Caste is
the champion of ''women's rights" in the
French chamber. Not only would he give
women votes but he is anxious to see them
sitting in parliament as deputies or senator's.
A fortnight ago he introduced bill to that
effect but 1t was rejected summarily without
discussion. 1t was therefore, with surprise
that politicians heard of the abnegation Of his
cherished principle of women being good q
men--if not better-n managing the affairs Of
the nation as well as their own, by seeking this
introduction against his own daughter. NJ. de
Caste set up the plea that Madame Esquirou
was hystericaL The lady's reply was emphatic
and disclosed q peculiar system of education.
You say am nervous and hysterical," was
the answer to her fathers request; well it is
not your fault If am not driven crazy You
were not a father to me, you were only a pro-
lessor. You wearied me almost to distraction
During the night you used to come into nv
room and put questions to me in English, Ger
man or some other language, and half asleep
as was you insisted upon me answering in the
same tongue. With your hobby about the
equality and the rights OF woman learned

reason that objection has been made to the use
OF south Henry street for the tracks of the
