 And now comes the further news that ! the Due d'Aumale Is dead also. He was 1 the only member of the Orleans family who was not stingy. Tn spite of his lib- erality he dies the richest. The French papers estimate the wealth he leaves at a billion francs, That Is two hundred million dollars. The estate of Chantil- ly which he leaves to the French Insti- ute, must be worth alone fifty million francs. The duo was seventy-five and was quite well till the instant he died; so We must suppose that his life was lived out. One of the important pie lures in the Salon is his full length or rather sitting -down-o bench, DOT trait, supposed to be taken in the forest Of Chantilly. Carolus Duran, the ar tist, whether Intentionally or not, has made the upper part of the duo down to where he begins to sit down, entirely independent of the part sitting down. If you took the due up between your thumb and forefnger you would leave the ducal legs sitting. French artists are capable of doing almost everything
 Paris would not have been Paris had | public ceremony over the holocaust. So 1t determined to have religious services in Notre Dame for the unrecognized dead, and grand speech-malling In the square in front of Notre Dame for the benefit of the many Parisians who won't put their foot inside of any kind of church. The speaking inside the church was entrusted to a monk named Olivier, and he has stirred up the big gest kind of hornets nest. It seems that Olivier Is of the extremest Jona- than Edwards stripe. He not only be- lteves in hell after the true New Eng land pattern, but he moreover, believes that every miserable thing that hap pens this side of hell is the direct act of the Almighty and intended by Him to punish or to frighten. In the course of his sermon, which was long one, he made the following observations; France has merlted this punishment by new forsal1ing of it's traditions. Instead of marching at the head of Christian civilization she has been will ling to follow, as a servant, or as a slave, doctrines which are as foreign to her genius as to her baptism. She has bowed herself to habits wherein there is no trace of her proud and her gene rous nature. Her name has become sy- nonymous with folly and with ingrati- tude to God. Therefore God, who does not wish to abandon her, has subjected her to expiation." And a lot more in the same style He also said that now the expiation of 1870 was complete
 That then Frenchmen gave their blood; now Frenchwomen completed the offer ing by pouring in theirs. What su- preme nonsense! No wonder the Fig arc" and other sensible French news papers are making it very warm for the Pere Olivier. The speaking outside was done by M. Barthou, who is member of the cabinet and species of French Chauncey Depew, except that his speeches read as we'll as they sound.
 From Paris to Luzerne is a long and a tiresome journey. It is only about three hundred and sixty miles, and the journey might very we'll be done in two to three hours less time. But after you strike the boundary between France and it's lost province all sorts of delays occur. Besides you are jolted so that reading Is almost impossible. Just now
 the travelling public consists of third class English people and of newly mar ried German people. To judge by theil
 looks, the English are owners of lodg- ing houses, who, having rented thefl premises, are doing their sightseeing before prices go up for the summer sea, } son. You want to. keep just as fal away from them as you possibly can

 is vile abuse of Americans whenever they see an American near. They can l not abuse other nations, for other na . tions cannot understand their gibber

 Strings of old English maids start of every morning and come back witt : their gin-tinted noses bluer than ever How they love to talk about Lord !, His lordship was very gracious" on ! of them said; "he had word for every body" Just think of it! How marvel ous!
