Echoes from Paris. 109 MEETING OF THE PARIS COUNCIL. COUNCIL MEETING was held at the The accounts for the months of March and correct. Amongst the reports furnished by the ladies in charge of the various branches of the Work, we regret to find that the one relating to the Orphanage is of so gloomy a cast. It appears that a recrudescence of the epidemic of diphtheria has manifested itself, and that one child has succumbed at the "Enfants Malades"; while another child lies at the Orphanage ready for removal to the same hospital. On the urgent representation of Miss Potter, who kindly attended the meeting, it was decided to call the immediate attention of Dr. Faure-Miller to the case. The Council are glad to learn that steps have been taken to remedy the obvious defect in the sanitary arrangements of the Orphanage, and trust that the measures adopted will prove efficacious. (Signed) THOS. A. STRONG. R. T. DE CARTERET.
