The daughter of George Sand, it is stated, is going to be married to a former Catholic priest, named Touanne. The bridegroom is now, despite his clerical pro* prietor of a livery stable at Tours, and Is reputed to be quite wealthy. A French writer proposes to photograph despatches to microscopic minutes, and blow them through a pneumatic tube sank under the water, as under the Dover Straits. At the end of their journey the despatches would be reproduced in their natural sizes. Bulky despatches would thus be transmitted with the same facility and rapidity as tbs SKalfast.
