Tn. Father o. modern Jursprudsues.

Louis * was practically the founder
OF modern Jurisprudence. About the
year 1871 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work Of re-
dressing their own wrongs. and pub
lished proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi. This forbade private
redress for wrongs for the space Of forty
days after the injury was committed.
During that time the injured person
must seek redress and satisfaction in the
kings court. and IL his wrong were not
righted at the end Of forty days he
might then take its rectification into his
own hands.
This proclamation made Justice speedy
and tolerably sure. although Of course
its administration was In rough and
ready way. and unless the records are at
fault some law Of this kind prevailed in

CRAzsD BY LITERATURE.

Chicago, May Pit is believed
the mind of Mrs. William Nellis,
who lives in Augusta street, has been
deranged by the excessive reading
of old German literature. She is
convinced she has been chosen as
general of a large army and insists
on initiating the deeds of ancient
generals. Three months ago she was
sent to Jefferson, but was discharged
as cured, but recently new evidences
of her malady have been noted.
Mrs. Nellia has been calling often
at the residence of Rev. Mr.. Venn,
pastor of st. Boniface parish.
When she was refused private
interview with the pastor to-day she
became so violent that Mr.. Venn
caused her arrest. DR.. Noble or
dered her sent to the detention hos
pital. Mrs. Nellia is 40 years old.
