THE Paris Court of Appeal has given a judg- ment in a case concerning an English, merchant which should be a waming against transacting business witli married ladies, even though they may happen to be of high rank. The case is briefly this. On the 22nd of October, 1880, the Duchess of Bauffremont executed a documents duly drawn up by a solicitor, acknowledging her liability to M. Emmanuel, described as a merchant of London, in the sum of 118,714 francs 25 centimes, and agreeing to repay the same in five Instalments, with interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum.

But a case recently came under my observation which put the two above-mentioned entirely in the shade. A barrel of moulding-sand which came out from England about two or three years ago, was recently opened in our establishment, and in the centre, instead of sand, to about nearly one- half of the extent of the barrel we found a ball of white ants, this congregation having completely eaten out the space it occupied, besides honey-combing the surrounding por tions. No flaw or traces of this destructive pest could be found in the staves of the barrel, and how they could have found their way into it seems miraculous. You may possibly think this is a "bender;" if you do, all I ask is that you come down and see it for yourself, for it has ex THE members of the Portuguese community must feel deeply indebted to the writer of "Edi. cited a great deal of curiosity.
