Richelieu, a pretty little place about 13% miles from Chtaon, in the department of Indre-et-Loire, France, derives jta nsme from the family of Cardinal Richelieu, whose patrimonial lands extended to an area now occupied by part of the town. The people have not shown any undue haste in commemorating their townsman, who, fitter all, stands in little need of a monument. A committee has been formed and has, appropriately, the high and unanimous patronage of the Academie Fyancalse, which owes its existence to the cardinal. Other learned societies are represented. If h as not been decided whether the monument will be in bronze or stone. ,
