A faith-curer" in Chicago recently held
responsible by coroner's jury for the death of
woman whom she had treated for disease
which proved fatal The case went before the
Grand Jury, which has refused TO find an indict-
mcnt on the ground that il people wish to en-
ploy disciples of the faith-cure or Of Christian
science in cases Of illness they do so at their
personal risk, and it is nobody's business but
their own. This finding will encourage the

The organization of the Association of Ameri-
can Authors, which was effected yesterday
under suspicious circumstances, is likely to
have an important influence on the interests
Of literature in this country. It's immediate
model is the British Society of Authors which
under the able direction of Mr.. Walter Besant
has proved Of marked benefit to the English
author, especially in his dealings with pub
fishers. Some ideas have also been borrowed
from the French Society of Men of Letters.
The character of the American association may
be judged from the well-known authors active
ly interested in establishing it. Colonel Hig
ginson has been made the president, and among
the other officials are DR.. Holmes, Mr.. Howells.
Mr.. Warner, Mr.. Cable, Professor Tyler and
Mrs Howe

From The Milwaukee, Sentinel.

That Is foolish discussion which the London
Medical Society has started the question I" Have
women less brain power than men ?" The answer Is
THAT some women have better brains than some men,
and some men have better brains than women.

The exodus of French Canadians from Lower
Canada TO New-Englint has been converted INTO
n STAMPEDE this year. Toronto journal states
that rs many as 800 persons are passing through
lewis Junction every week. destined for farm ana
factory work in the United States. and that many
narts Of the province Of Quebec have been emptled
Of population during recent years. Inc Domlh-
ion Government has been endeavoring to head on
this emigration movement by Substituting branch
railways. and employing laborers in public works
along the ST. Lawrence and in the interior. The
exodus has been increased by this policy, for
many French Canadians have been enabled TO
earn enough money by these public works to pay
the travelling expenses of their families to New
England The prosperity Of the emigrants who
have settled in farming districts and in manufact-
uring towns in Maine. New-liampshire. Massachl-
setts and Rhode Island Is rapidly drawing the
remnant of the French population of Lower Canada
across the border. 1t is an Industrious and thrifty
class of settlers that is now filling the empty
places of New-England. 1t is doubtful if the loss
of population which is caused by this migration
from Quebec can ever be made up-without an
nexaton.

Superintendent Byrnes and the Police Commits
sioners have actually taken serious view Of
Colonel Hams suggestion that policemen should
be detailed at night at the terminal stations Of
the elevated railroads to protect the defenceless
tainmen from the assaults of ferocious passen-
gers who have been carried past the stations where
they wished to alight. This is paternal govern
mcnt with vengeance. To the credit of Com
missioner MacLean, it should be said that he
voted against the employment of six policemen
for this purpose. The Police Board can find I'M
limited opportunities for this Of thing if they
set about looking for them.

At a trial at Worcester the leader of the
sessions, a man of great popularity, had
Just been made queens counsel, and this
was his farewell case. Hewas defending a
man for horse stealing, and the evidence
was overwhelmingly against him. At the
close of the case for the prosecution the
barrister addressed the jury in something
like these terms: ''Gentlemen, have been
among you for great many years. was
born in your county, and my people were
with YOU for two or three generations.
You have always been friendly with me,
man aud boy, and don't think have ever
had an angry word with any Of you.
"A change has now come over my life.
Her majesty has sent for me to make me
one OF her own counsel" The jurymen sat
with open mouths, evidently under the inn
preston that their favorite was about to be
summoned to buckingham palace, Wind
sor castle, or some other royal residence, to
have a tete-a-tete with the queen. Con
tinuing he said: Il shall never address
you again. This is the last time my voice
will be heard in your ancient hall Let US
part as we have always been-the best of
friends"
This was all his speech, aud he sat down,
while the chairman addressed himself to
the evidence The weeping jury put their
heads together for a moment, and the fore
man, turning around. exclaimed, 1--WE finds

must be either one Of guilty" or mot
guilty" as against the prisoner. Not

and the prisoner was duly released.-Lon-

A sunday in rari. During the commune.


On the morning of che 3lst I left St.
Denis by road, and wai.ed straight into
Paris without hindgauce The national
guards of La Chaprile "ere turning out
for service AZ passed through and there
seemed nothing; to end fault with either in
their appearance or con.iuct. Certainly
there WAS no uuwillil.,rrss apparent, but

but perfectly quiet aud orderly. 1t was
the Sabbath morning. bat no church bells
filled the air with their music. 1t was
with far different and more discordant
sound that the air throbbrd on this bright
spring morning-the distant roar of the
Versailist batteries on the west and south
west of the enceinte.
THAT is IsSy which gives" quietly re

the corner of the Place de rOpera, as she
sold me rag dated the sd and printed

tinguish the sound of the lssy cannon
from those in the batteries of the Bois de
Boulogne. Remember she replied, Il
have been listening now for many days to
that delectable bicker, and have become
a connoisseur. The Issy gun fire comes
sharper and clearer, because the fort stands
high and nothing intervenes. The reports
from the cannon in the Bois get broken up
for one thing 10y the tree trunks, and then
the sound has to climb over the enceinte,
the railway viaduct aud the hill of Passy."
She spoke as calmly as if she had been
talking of the weather, and it seemed to
Inc indeed that all the few people who
were about shared the good lady's non
