Show A Suuit's Skull. A saint's skull is soon to form the subject sub-ject of an action of law at Lyons. The saint in question is Jean Soanen, who was bishop of Seuez, in tho department of Basses-Alpes, during the reign of Louis Quinze. The skull was for many years iu tho possession of an ancient family, whose scion, however, disposed of it a short time ago with some old lumber to a local dealer in bric-a-brac. He was at a loss to know what to do with the skull, when a broker, hearing of his dilemma, bethought of a devout lady-one lady-one of his customers who happened to be the proprietor of the lower jaw of the self same saint. The broker conducted the lady to tho shop, and a bargain was concluded whereby, on the payment of 40, she became the possessor of this additional ad-ditional relic. After tho lady had quitted quit-ted tho house in triumph, with the bishop's bish-op's skull neatly packed up, the broker claimed half the money as the introducer, intro-ducer, and, the dealer having refused to hand over move thanfl, he is bringing the matter before the law courts.
