Not a little scandal kas teen occasioned both in the Old World and the Now by the dispan- sation for marriage within the prohibited do- grees which the Pops has granted Princes Lotilik Bonaparte and the Duke d'Aosta, Ama deux ex-King of Spain. The Dake is the uncle of the Princess, and the marriage of uncles and. nieces is regarded as a marriage forbidden by divine and human law. The Popo, however, has a dispensing power, and the usele will marry the niece in September, with the blessing of the Church. To do the goad Pepe justion, be is said to bara made a manful staud against the proposal that Audes should marry his mister's danghior, but precedents wars added in sap- port of the dispensation. A Queen, of Spain had been allowed to marry hoë anale, and their Tavast AOD, Prinos of Brazil, was allowed to marry his Toki Bant. Therefore the Duke d'Aosta got bíaitanghai disperation, and the uncle and the niece in Ame few weeks will be bridegroom and bride. This phong kind of licence noems to be the spacial privilego of Belg Royalty one of those privileges which even the most envions demagogue would not care ia share.

"An inquiry of the same kind has just been made in France, with the result, that, of 184 persons co- gistered as centenarians fn the last congas, 101 have boon found to have no claim to that honour. Of the remaindag 8 (52 of whom were women and Al men), the age was certified in 87 solely by the statements of relatives; in only sixteen was any documentary evidenes forthcoming. Most of these contenarians belonged to the south-western part of France, especially the foot of the Pyrenees.
The inhabitants of Sicily seem to be in rather a benighted condition. Consul Stigand, in bis trade report on that island, just isoned, gives soms remarkable information on this point.
