Such is tie institution of the Jail

to thwart by a trick the oppressive provi-

only one Of several means by which the law

thwarted. 1t belongs to the daily and
weekly press. The pamphleteers, who ap-
peal to a class of higher average intell-
gence, have better trick. 1t is that of
the historical parallel. The most ceIe
bri,ted example OF this style Of literature
in recent times IS ''Caligula," written by
the South German. Prof. Quidde "Calig-

NJ. Hrunetiere,s Impressions.

NJ. Ferdinand Brunetiere has just cot
lcrUet' his more or less scattered impress
siors ct America and made them into an
article, which is published in the Re5ne
des DeuX Aondes. This distinguished
TreEch gentleman appears TO have under
stood that some Americans were very aux
ious To know what he thought OF our coun.
try, for they began asking him that
vhei the steamer reached quarantine, and
thc inquiry was pattering about his eaTs

because they are almost certain tn be more
or less incorrect.
The Difference between NJ. Brunetiere
and some other travellers, however, is very
much in his favor. His impressions remind
one OF tie pins which saved peoples lives
by not being swallowed. They are chiefly
remarkable as record OF the things with
which NJ. Brunetiere failed to be i'm
pressed. Other travellers had ed him to
expect to see things which he did not see.
Other ira velers had experienced sensations
which his nerves utterly refused to feel.
Other travellers had told yarns which he
had confidently expected to verify, and he
could not do SC.
Altogether, the things which he did not
see are quite as creditable to this French

their business. This has been guing on

the arguments were very lively indeed al

Retailers Association came in and toid
how the department stores were using
crooked business methods, and Advertising

deeply concerned with that, however, as
with another question. 1t was charged
that the wages paid by the department

the affair.

department store, and his defense was
