Miss AIcott's Life Story.

Louisa NJ. Alcott is said to revea
herself in a most interesting way in {
number of letters written to five
little girls which are to appear in the
April Ladies' Home Journal. These
letters were written during the
busiest period of Miss Alcott's life
and presents pen picture of the
author drawn by her own master
hand. In these she talks with singular
frankness of herself, her work, her
aims, her home, her spiritual belief.
and of the influence that directed her
TO literature. She never saw any OF
her FIVE correspondents. but Their
youthful frankness, intense interest
in all her writings, and their love for
the author and for the characters o:
her creations, impelled her to turn
aside from her work and cares to find
diversion in chats with such eagerly
enthusiastic, admiring and SYM
pathetic, friends. Miss Alcott's first
letter is dated 1872, and the Others
were written at intervals up to with
in short time of her death.

Hard upon the order from Cardinal
Richard, archbishop of Paris, forbid
ding the clergy OF his diocese to ride the
bicycle, comes similar command from
Mgr. Isoard, bishop of Annecy, near
Geneva, which is couched in the follow
ling terms; I'VE see priests adopt the
fashions and certain usages that their
condition and public opinion should
prohibit. We have this tendency illus
trated in the bicycling craze. In our
own country this machine has absolute
ly no utility. 1t presents grave incon-
venience. 1t is thus that those who
practice bicycling find the means TO
absent themselves frequently from
their parishes and TO distances that
they have not hitherto traversed. Our
people, who look for rules Of action in
the clergy, are scandalized by these new
