The saint in question is Jean Soanen, who was bishop of Senez, In tbe department of Basses-Alpes, during tho reign of Louis Quinze. The skull was for many years in the possession ,of an ancient family, whoso 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 custotnera-iwbo happened to be the proprietor of the lower jaw of the self same saint. The broker conducted the lady" to tbe ehop, and a bargain waa concluded whereby, on the payment of 40, she became the possessor of thia additional ad-ditional relic. After the lady had quit-, ted the house in triumph, with tbe bishop's bish-op's skull neatly packed up, the broker claimed half the money as the introducer, intro-ducer, and, tbe dealer having ref used to hand over more than 1, he is bringing the matter before the law courts.
