7be Forty Ladies
of the Academy.

The readers of a French review, by in
vitation of the publishers, evidently
studying a novel publicity, have lately
elected forty ladies to the honors of i'm
mortality in an Academy restricted to
persons of their sex, says Harper's
Weekly. It is not known whether the
suffrage was also restricted, but there
are indications that it was; for the choice
OF these immortal ladies seems to have
been governed by the heart rather than
by the head, and to be somewhat the ef-
feet. of those caDrices which have their
mystical origin in the nerves. Otherwise
it is hard to understand why the most
immortal of the forty ladies should be
Queen VVilhelmina of Holland, who tri-
umphed over the authoress, Madame
Adam, by 81 vote of 5212 to 4150. The
Czarina of Russia and the Queens of
Italy, Spain and Roumania were like
wise chosen. and then followed author
