Patrick," said an old gentlemnn to his servant, "we are all creatures of fate." "Well, if it wasn't for fate how could we walk, sure ?" Talleyrand declared on one occasion that he de. spised mankind. The reason," observed Barms, is Very apparent; he has studied himself too deeply." A provincial "daily mentions an illfenud meet- ing of certain clergymen. The word intended was in- formal,"but the compositor said the copy was bad, and how should he know ? The following appears in a Kansas papef—"A mule kicked an insurance agent in this place on the tlieek the otlrer day. The agent's cheek was unin- jured, but the mule's hoof was broken." An old preacher, who had several calls to take a parish, asked his servant where lie should go, and the servant said—"Go where there is most sin, sir." And the preacher concluded that was good advice, and went where there was most muney. The Rev. Sydney Smith being asked by a lady why It was reported that there were more women in the ivorld than men, he replied, It is in conformity with the arrangements or Nature, madam; we always see more of heaven than of earth." There was a French singer with a tremendous voice who could not discover whafline ot art he was best ,tted for. He went to Cherubini, who told him to Iring. He sang, and the foundation trembled. Well," he said when he had finishe:), "illustrious master, what shall I become ?" Anauctioneev,"said Clierubini. A critic dropped into a studio in Paris one day, stopped before the portrait of a lady on the easel, and remarked:—" It is very nicely painted but why did you take such an ugly moJel ?" "It is my mother," calmly replied the artist. Oh pardon a thousand times," said the critic, in great confusion you are light; I ought to have perceived it. It resembles you Completely." An old Dublin beggar woman asked a lady the other day for a halfpenny. "I've nothing for yon," said the lady; but if you go to the soup-kitchen you'll get a pint of excellent soup." "Soup is it, ye mane?" bawled out the indignant men ticant do you call that stuff soup? Sure and I'll just tell ye how they make it; they get a quart of water, and then boil it down to a pint, to make it strong." A rich and Ingenious mechanician constructed a safe which he declared to be burglar proof. To oon- Vince the incredulous of the fact, he placed a JE500 note in his pocket, had liimsolf locked in the safe, with a liberal supply of provisions, and the key cast into the river, declaring that he would give the money to the man who unfastened the door. All the black- smiths and carpenters in the country have been borinf and blasting at that safe for a week with every kind of tool and explosive mixture known to science, and the man is there yet! He has whispered through the keyhole that lie will double Iherewaid if somo- body will only let him out. Ho has convinced every- body that it is,the safest safe ever invented. Fears are entertained that the whole concern will have to be melted down in the blast furnace before he is released, and efforts are to be made to pass in through the key- hole a fire proof jacket, to protect the inventor while the iron is melting. Lord William Lennox, a rider for a mercantile house in the City of London, was attacked, a fe v miltJh beyond Winchester, by a highwayman, who, taking hi in by surprise, robbed him of his purse and pocket book, containing cash and notes to a considerable amount. Sir," saill the rider, with grer.t presence of mil1.1, I have suffered you to take my property, and you are welcome to it. It is my master's, and the loss of it cannot do him much harm but, as it will look very cowardly in me to have been robbed without making any resistance, I should take it lindly of you just to fire a pistol through my coat." With all my heart," replied the highwayman wb^re will you have the ball ?" "Here," said the rider, "just by the side of the button." The highwayman WII" as food as h's word, but the moment he fired the rider nocked hini off his horse, and having stunned him with the blow, aided by a labourer wlw came up at the time, lodged him safely in Winchester Gaol. A lady of San Francisco (ciayg the Galifornian Scrap Book) is said to have occupied several years in hunting up and fitting together the following thirty eight lines, from thirty-eight English poets.

MARWOOD, THE EXECUTIONER.
MARWOOD, THE EXECUTIONER. I With reference to a claim for wines and spirits con- Burned by the executioner in a northern gaol, Captain J. A. Gardner, governor of Bristol Gaol, says that Marwood has been six days on two occasions at that Caol, and he found him most abstemious. For breakfast he had tea or coffee and bread and butter; a chop or beef ooked for the prisoners, with vegetables, constituted his dinner; tea was similar to his breakfast. At night the governor asked him if he would have a glass of spirits but during the whole six days he declined ex- copt once. He did not smoke at all. He was locked up in a cell by himself during his stay in the prison his only companion being a stray newspaper. So quietly did he come and go that with the exception of the governor and the lodgekeeper no one knows how he quitted the gaol.
DEGREES FOR WOMEN.
DEGREES FOR WOMEN. At a convocation of the London, University—Dr. Siorrer presiding—the motion of Mr. Hensman has boen discussed—" That it is desirable that a new charter should be granted to the university, and that such charter should enable the university to grant degrees in arts to women." This was seconded by Mr. Holroyd, chaplain and an amendment was moved. virtually leaving the matter in the hands of the a mate. which body, in 1874, ignored a similar resolu- tion passed by convocations. On a division, the amend- ment was rejected by 33 to 26, and by a subsequent amendment the words in arts in the original motion were struck out, convocation thus affirming the prin- ciple of granting degrees in all faculties, including law and medicine, to women. It was, however, pointed oat that there was small probability of the senate, a 3 at present constituted, carrying out the resolution, and Mr. R. H. Hutton urged the graduates to turn their attention to the election on that body of medical members especially whose views are in accordance with those of the majority of convocation.
THE CONVICT ORTON.
THE CONVICT ORTON. A correspondence relative to the Claimant has just passed between Mr. John S. Helsby, of Lymington, Hants, and the Right Hon. W. Cowper-Temple, M.P., which has elicited from the latter his opinion respect- ing the genuineness of the claims put forward by the prisoner now confined in Dartmoor Convict Establish- ment. Mr. Helsby, in a long letter to the right lion, gentleman, speaks of the circumstances attending an interview he had some time since with the Claimant, and asks him "to use the great influence you deservedly possess in the House of Commons, and through the House of Commons the Government, to induce them to release him (the Claimant) without further delay." To this appeal Mr. Cowper-Temple, writing from Broadlands, Romsey," replies as follows :—:i Sir. —I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, which shews the intensity and pertinacity of your con- victions. I never believed, as you may be aware, in the truthfulness of the Claimant, and my opinion has na- turally been confirmed by the verdicts of two juries who have convicted him of imposture. Under these circumstances, I regret to have to say that I am unable to assist you in the object you have in view.—I have the honour to be, &c, W. COWPER-TEMPLE."
A SCOTCH DISSENTING MONUMENT.
A SCOTCH DISSENTING MONUMENT. The dispute which has arisen between her Majesty's Board of Works andtheUnited Presbyterian Presbytery of Dunfermline has been discussed at a meeting of the Presbytery. The proposal made by Mr. R. Mathieson, her Majesty's Inspector of Works for Scotland, that the inscription to be put upon the monument to be erected to the memory of Thomas Gillespie, the founder of the Scottish Relief Church, should merely set forth that that divine ceased to be a mem- ber of the Established Church of Scotland, was repudiated by the presbytery as being too ambiguous. It was accordingly resolved that another representation be sent to Lord Henry Lennox setting forth that as Gillespie's deposition from the Established Church of Scotland is the chief ground on which his memory is held in honour, the inscription to be put upon the monument must necessarily bear a statement to that effect; that to do otherwise would be to defeat every end which the presbytery have in view in seeking to put up the memorial. It should be explained that the Abbey Church of Dunfermline, in which it is proposed to erect the monument, is the property of the Govern- ment. and is connected with the Established Church of Scotland.

Used to the Continent. Speaks four lan- guages. Understands hunting things." A useful ser- vant this, no doubt; but, with a view to an engage- ment, he might be more explicit. For instance, why does he not name the languages he speaks? Suppose he is a Welshman, and is conversant with Hindustani. Hebrew, and Chinese; his knowledge of four lan- guages would really be remarkable, though not pecu- liarly serviceable in Continental travel. Then, again, what arc the things" which he understands hunt- ing ? Are they rats and mice, and such small deer; or elephants and tigers, and other nobler animals?. Or can he be conveying a delicate allusion to the" things," which are unnameable, but which are so cummonly hunted after nightfall by tourists on the Continent, and indeed are too well known to need more identifica- tion?

LATEST CARLIST INTELLIGENCE.—It is reported from Spain that Don Carlos has been compelled to return to Aspeitia (wherever that is), all military oper- ations having been interrupted by a fall of snow." With his usual humanity, Don Carlos immediately ordered three aged peasants and an infant in arms to be shot. it being supposed that they had something to do with the snow. After this little recreation, the Car- list army went out to slide. MORE CORRESPONDENCE.—Mr. Boucicault has written to Mr. Disraeli to suggest that, as his play, The Shaughraun," has been a great success, the Pre- mier might as well pardon the Fenian convicts now in prison. It is rumoured that Mr. Henry Neville con- templates continuing the correspondence, by suggest- ing to the Home Secretary that, as the Tickot-of- Leave Man is a popular favourite, a certain" Ull- happy nobleman, now languishing in prison," should receive a free pardon. But probably neither of these right hon. gentlemen will respond in a proper spirit.

There was a reduction of 21,722 in the number of emigrants from Ireland last year as compared with the previous year. In 1874, the number of emigrants was 73.184 in 1875, 51,462. A very sad case of sudden death is reported from Southport. A young man from Bradford, in York- shire, who was visiting that town, was enjoying him- self with his friends, when something said caused him to laugh heartily, and in the midst of his merriment he burst a blood vessel and expired. A meeting of gentlemen of Dublin has been held for the purpose of taking preliminary steps to induce her Majesty,or some other member of the Royal Family to visit Ireland during the ensuing summer. It is pro- posed that a deputation of leading Irish gentlemen should wait upon Government with reference to tbf subject.

,THE MARQUIS OF RIPON.
THE MARQUIS OF RIPON. A letter from Rome in the Union, dated the 13th, says :—" The Holy Father, whose health leaves noth- ing to be desired, has been receiving numerous and illustrious foreign personages, at the head of whom must be placed the Marquis of Ripon, the former head of the English Freemasonry, whole conversion made such a stir two years ago, and gave such a consolation to the Sovereign Pontiff and the Catholics of the whole world. The Marquis of Ripon was received a first time in private audience, and attended on Sunday at his Holiness's mass in his private chapel. In a second audience his lordship had the honour of presenting to the Holy Father Lady Ripon, whose early conversion is hoped for."

ENGLISH HOLIDAYS. The Vossische Zeitunq, published at Berlin on the 1st inst., makes the following statement:—" We are able to assert, without exaggeration, that on Monday (Roxing .by) two-thirds of the great British nation were drunk, half or wholly so, but anyhow drunk. It is no very poetical enjoyment to see drunken women of all classes lying in the streets. To be con- vinced of the overwhelming extent which drunkenness has reached among the female sex, one need only take n short stroll, the streets resounding with the rudest Christmas festivities.

MR. GLADSTONE ON THE IRISH…
MR. GLADSTONE ON THE IRISH CHURCH. During the election contest now going on at Leomin- ster, a leading Conservative has placarded a statement '.hat Mr. Gladstone has confessed the failure of his work in Ireland with respect to the disestablishment of the Church in that country, and that he has ad- mitted in the House of Commons his disappointment. As this statement was beina; freely quoted to the detriment of the case of Mr. Blacket, the Liberal can- didate, Mr. William Mason, a prominent local Liberal, wrote to Mr. Gladstone on Saturday to ask If the statement was correct, and he has received the following replyJanuary 16, 1876.-Sir,- You are at liberty to state on my authority that the report which you mention has no foundation whatever. Were the work even yet to do, most readily should I put my hand to the doing of it.—Your faithful ser- vant, W. E. GLADSTONE.—W. Mason, Esq., Leo- minster."
THE WRECK OF THE SCHILLER.
THE WRECK OF THE SCHILLER. The Empress Augusta of Germany has just for- warded, through Count Munster, the German Am- bassador, a magnificent gold and jewelled bracelet to Mrs. Dorrien Smith, in recognition of that lady's atten- tion to the German passengers and crew of the steamer Schiller, wrecked off the SciJIy Isles on the 7th of May, 1875. The bracelet is most artistically set. It is surmounted by the Imperial arms of Germany; in the centre is a large pearl, surrounded with sapphires, having <w the left the Prussian eagle, and on the right the initial of the Empress—on either side a large pearl. Beneath is the Geneva Cross set in rubies. At the back is the following inscription :—" Augusta, Em press of Germany, to E. A. M. Dorrien Smith, in grate- ful acknowledgment of kindness shewn to Germans at the wreck of the Schiller, on the 7th of May, 1875." Two very elegant brooches, surmounted with the Im perial crown, have also been forwarded to two ladies of Penzance who distinguished themselves by their kindness to the sufferers on that occasion.
j THE BISHOP AND OMNIBUS DRIVER.
THE BISHOP AND OMNIBUS DRIVER. Before railways were introduced to that part of the country, an omnibus ran between Worcester and Kidderminster, and the Bishop, wanting to get home, mounted the heavy-laden vehicle. The coachman soon begins belabouring his horses. fray, good man, do not whip the poor animals so, says the Bishop. What do you know about it, old blow-broth ? says the man. "I will have you punished for cruelty if you do not desist." If you dou't shut up, and let the 'osses alone, I will give the butt end of that to you which the 'osses have only had the lash of." By-and-bye the horses pull up at the White Hart, Hartlebury; the Bishop dismounts and proeeeds on his way home. "Who was that old stick-in-the mud," asks the coachman of the landlord. Why," says he, that's the new Bishop." "Goody, goody," cries our Jehu, "I will run after him, and crave his pardon." So, without stopping to put down his whip, he ran down tlia avenue. The Bishop, seeing the man running behind him, whip in hand, thought he was coming to adminiutei- that which he had promised, so he took to his heels, the man running after him, and shouting, "Stop, my lord! pardon, my lord! pardon!"
ALTERATIONS IN THE CIRCUITS.
ALTERATIONS IN THE CIRCUITS. It is rumoured that several important alterations in conuection with the judges' circuits will shortly take place, the principal of which will be the virtual abolition of th-; Home Circuit, the business arising in the Surrey division of which will, it is said, be tried in London. The Home Circuit at present con- sists of Hertford, Chelmsford, Maidstone, lewes, King- ston, Guildford, and Cr ydon, Kingston being visited for the spring and Guildford and Croydon for alternate summer assizes. It is said that Hertford, Chelmsford, and Lewes will be joined with the Nor- folk Circuit, which will, with these additions, be henceforth called the South-Eastern Circuit; that the Norfolk Circuit, as at present constituted, will lose Northampton, Leicester, Bedford, and Ayles- bury, which four plaees -will he tacked on to the Midland Circuit, which, under the new arrangement, will comprise Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby, North- ampton, Leicester, Bedford, Aylesbury, and Warwick. York and Leeds, at present on the Midland, will, with Durham and Newcastle, form a separate circuit, to be called the North-Eastern while Appleby, Carlisle, Lancaster, Manchester, and Liverpool will in future be known as the North-Western Circuit. It is also said that in consequence of the heavy amount of business generally to be disposed of in the Lancashire division three judges instead of two will in future go to Man- cheater and Liverpool.
AUTHORS' PROFITS.
AUTHORS' PROFITS. Mr. Gladstone, when speaking recently atGreonwich on the respective incomes of men with handicrafts at.d men with professions, instanced authors as among those whose financial position is growing worse rather than better. A statement intended as a reply to this part of the right hon. gentleman's speech is now being handed round at the Athenasum and other clubs. In this it is shewn by figures obtained from authors and publishers that in the past fifteen years the incomes of those authors who"e books II."C sought by the public have rist-n by from 25 to 50 per cent. An article on the subject will shortly appear in one of the quarter- lies. If any class of authors have suffered they are thu writers of what have been known as standard works. This class, if no worse, are at all events no better off than they were half-a-century ..go. A work like Professor Stubbs' "Constitutional His- tory in England" is worth in monuy less than one of Mr. Blank's novels, though Mr. Stubhs puts more labour into thirty pages than Mr. Black puts into three hundred. But, great though the gains of novelists are, they are as nothing when compared with the K»ins of the fortunate gentlemen who have earned faille as writers of school and college text- books. If the figures in the statement be not as far off the truth "s the statistics of House Proprietors' Associations, the writers of text-books aaJ becoming the princes of literature. They arc as well able to make their own bargains with the publishers as t x lJi pinit rs, Poets-Laureate, the scratch-scrawlers of the aristocracy, or penny-a-lillers with "exclusive" intell'^nce of popular murders. To them the School Board* have been mines of wealth. In five, years their incomes have heen more than doubled. The art andn-ienee examinations instituted by the State had previously done something for them, and had called into the arena of popular text-books a class of men who used to be siient as bookshelves or scarcely beard in cl ssroons. One thing made plain by the statement seems to be that brains which in the gooll old times went into the standard works," which nobody read till bis leading days were, over, now go into small vu'timoa with which every school boy and every school girl can be made acquainted.— liuiifhe Advertise.

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.
AFFAIRS IN EGYPT. Writing from Alexandria on January 10th, the Daily News correspondent saysJudging by the number of teh grams received here this week in- quiring after the movements of Mr. Stephen Cave, the mission of this gentleman causes much more excitement in England than in Egypt. Mer- chants and bankers have been again and again requested to send news of Mr. Cave, and there has been nothing to send. This being the case, some people seem to have drawn upon their imagination for their facts, "net the rumour of & complete misunderstanding between the right hon. gentleman and the Khedive was industriously circulated. Mr. Cave was positively stated to have quitted Egypt, the very name of the steamer being given. This rumour was officially denied, and Mr. Cave's relations with the Khedive were stated to be perfectly satisfactory. That nothing unsatisfactory has occurred I am com- petently informed, and for this reason, that nothing has been done or suggested to cause a. difference of opinion. People do not gene- rally quarrel when being feted in regal style, and this is all our English friends have to complain of at present. In Egypt we "make haste slowly," and never do to-day what can be done to- morrow. You must not therefore be sur- prised that the finances of Egypt have not been remodelled in a fortnight—one must live in Egypt to look calmly at a question of this kind. As I telegraphed you a day or two since, Mr. Cave and Colonel Stokes are now inspect- ing the Suez Canal. From Cairo they pro- ceeded to Port Said without making any stay at Ismailia. M. de Lesseps has left Cairo for a time, and will be ready to receive the representa- tives of the 176,000 shares on their return to Lake Timsali. The reported advance of two millions sterling on the security of the Khedive's founder's shares appears not to be true, but if ever such an offer is made in earnest you may be certain it will not be declined. Italy is now anx- ious to have a fiuger in the Egyptian pie, and has sent over a senator and financier for this purpose. Signor Scialoga arrived by the last Brindisi steamer to con- clude a Treaty of Commerce between Italy and Egypt.
DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A BEAR.
DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A BEAR. The head-waters of the Delaware River are thirty miles north west of Delhi New York, in a wild and un- frequented portion of the Catskill Mountains, in Scho- harie County. There are very few settlements in the region, but about a year ago a man named Jonas Butler put up a cabin on one of the mountain tri- butaries of the stream, having a contract with parties in Greene County to peel bark and cut railroad ties. His wife and two children, one a girl about sixteen and the other an infant, occupy the cabin with him. Butler goes into the woods sometimes several miles from IJJI home, and often does not return for two or thr0| days. On Sunday last he went out to his work,leaving his family in their cabin. The section is noted for its wild game, deer and bear being plentiful, but the pre- sent season bears have been unusually numerous and bold, and the pig-pen of the Butlers has twice been depopulated. About five o'clock on Sunday afternoon Mrs. Butler and her daughter were preparing to feed the pigs, when an immense black bear was discovered trying to get out of the enclosure with a fine fat shote in its embrace. Mrs. Butler seized a heavy wooden mallet used in driving wedges, and her daughter took up an axe. They ran and jumped into the pen, followed by the dog, and commenced an attack on the bear. It held on to the pig, however, until thft blows of the woman and the bites of the dog became too much for him when it turned on his as- sailants. It seized the dog and crushed it to death. The girl rained in blows with the axe on the head of the bear, when suddenly Bruin made for her. With one sweep of his great paw he sent her axe flying out of the enclosure, and pressed her into one comer. The mother, seeing her daughter's danger, increased the fury of her assault with the mallet, and although the bear got the girl in his embrace, he dropped her before doing her material injury to ward off the attacks of the mother. The floor of the pen was now slippery with blood that was flowing from the wounds of the bear, for the girl had struck with the edge of the axe and buried it somewhere in the animal every time. When the bear turned on the mother she shouted to her daughter to run to the house and get the rifles. While Jennie was gone her mother succeeded in keeping the bear from getting too close to her, but when the daughter returned with the rifle she was about exhausted, and was fighting from a corner into which the bear was pressing her closely, having disarmed her. Jennie put the barrel of the gun through a chink in the logs and fired. The ball entered behind the bear's fore shoulder, and he fell to the floor and died in a short time. It was along time before Mrs. Butler could summon strength enough to climb out of the enclosure, and as soon as the excitement that had sustained the daughter was over, the latter fell fainting to the ground, and it was two hours before she could get about again. Her clothing was nearly all torn from her by the claws of the bear, but neither of the women sustained any serious injury.. Monday Jennie walked out to where her father was at work and told him of the ad- venture,when he returned home with her and skinned and dressed the bear. It weighed over three hundred pouuds.—New York TimetH
LESSONOF THE PRINCE'S TOUR.I
LESSONOF THE PRINCE'S TOUR. We (Bombay Gazette) have more than once com- mented upon the slipshod fashion in which we do our Raj in India. Antagonistic to native ideas in many things, we set no value on what they value most- ostentation. The consequence is now, that even the Heir Apparent to the Crown can only present an ordinary appearance to his people. It is not asserted that the Prince of Wales would leok any better to Western eyes on an elephant than on a horse, in gold brocade than in a plain frock coat; but to the people of India these vanities are of great import, and there is some wisdom in the saying that when a man goes to Rome he ought to do as Rome does. The Eng- lish standard of etiquette in ceremonial and costume seems to have been hoisted for this occa- sion over the standard Oriental, and though Levees and Camps of Exercise are imposing enough in the European estimation of things, our native fellow-sub- jects care little for them and underrate their splendour. Had' the Prince's visit been boldly acknowledged, aa. -a great political event in the history of Illdia; i#-wou!d, of course, have been easy to have lendered tha..Royal progress one of such Oriental magnificence as the people had not seen since the days of their ownEmperors, but Mr. Disraeli being shy to expend money which, after all, in a measure, has been spent, the combination of State and pri- vacy has not turned out a success. In Madras Presidency, we are told that more money was spent on the Prince's tour than the House of Commons voted for the whole ex- pedition but that a full return for it has not been received, owing to no definite plan, is, we think, ap- parent from the meagre results obtained in that part of India. However it is never too late to mend, and we trust that in Northern India an appearance of Oriental state may be found consistent with the Prince's avocations in the jungles. It is not money that is wanting, but system, to render the Princess state, when he chooses to assume it, worthy ot his birth and rank. Hitherto, there has been no system, and one is puzzled to know whether his Royal Highness is incognito here or en prince. So the result, as might be expected, is not altogether satisfac- tory. It is easy to see where the Prince's own tastes lead him, for he has seized upon the few leisure hours he has had to shoot and hunt; but even his passion for the chase is circumscribed and interrupted by a want of definition of his presence here which will neither permit him to be regarded as a traveller nor as an Heir Apparent. Of course, his position is to be considered a singular and anomalous one under any circumstances, in this country still it might not have been made so awkward and incompre- hensible as it is, though we n.ay hope for better things in the future. A correspondent states that at the recent receptions the Rajah of Puttiala was said to have i^o0,000 worth of jewels about him, very many of which had been purchased for him in London when the Empress of the French sold all her valuables a year or two ago. The Rajah actually shone in the light of the setting sun, to a degree that you could not keep your eye.s upon him for long. And there were, pex haps, others, who, although in a lesser degree.madeone think that the tales of our childhood respecting the wea:th of the East were by 110 means fables. The ^Rajah of Paunu owns, perhaps, the finest diamond mines in the world, and his turban bore evidence that the pro- duce of his estates were not all sent to the dealers in precious stones. It was a magnificent sight.

A FRENCH MONSTER.
A FRENCH MONSTER. The Court of Assizes of the Mouse has just been occupied in trying a man named Charles Uriot, 37 years of age, on a charge of attempting to murder his wife. The prisoner, who is a farmer at Burey-en-Vaux, baa long been the terror of the whole neighbourhood from his brutal and violent character, and for years he has ill treated his family. On one occasion he rtabbed his wife in the breast at the dinner table, and his ill-usage at last became so great that one evening in November last she fled in fear of her life t. a neighbour's for shelter. Her husband followed her, and pretending regret for his behaviour induced her to return home. No sooner had they entered than he closed the door, telling her that her last hour was come. He had previously prepared a cord, and, seiz- ing the poor woman, he threw her down, at the same time passing the rope round her neck. He then drew it with all his force, standing over her with his foot on her shoulder. She speedily lost conscious- ness, and the blood was streaming from her mouth and nostrils, when the neighbour, whose suspicions had been aroused, opened the door just in time to save her life. The prisoner was convicted of a preme- ditated attempt at murder, but the jury admitted ex- tenuating circumstances, and he was sentenced to 20 years penal servitude, and police surveillance during a like period at the expiration of his term.
LIFEBOAT AND ROCKET SERVICE.
LIFEBOAT AND ROCKET SERVICE. The Levant Herald of the 5th inst. says":—We have given particulars of recent gallant rescues of shipwrecked crews by the men of the lifeboat and rocket service on both the European and Asiatic stations at the Black Sea mouth of the Bosphorus. A brief allusion only was made to one case, that of the rescue on December 14th of the crew and passengers of a Turkish vessel, twenty in number, by the rosket men of the Revea station. Early on the morning in question the look-out man perceived aTurkish schooner at anchor in the surf, and in great distress, with the breakers around her. Superintendent Doyle had one of his men ill; two he sent to fire fog guns at daylight, and with his remaining six men started off for the ship with all the rocket-gear they could carry. On Arriving at the wreck they succeeded in firing a rocket over, her with a line attached, but the weather was severe, and the ship parted from her anchors and was driven ashore. Captain Doyle and his men made lines fast round them, went into the surf, and, though shot t-lianded,had the good fortune to bring to shore safely every soul on board, the matter and crew (six)- and 14 passengers. A blinding snow-shower was falling at the time, with the wind from the N.N.W. Several of the passengers, especially, were exhausted from the exposure, but they were revived with restoratives, and provided with such warm clothiug as could be spared at the station.
WHAT THE "WORtD" SAYS.
WHAT THE "WORtD" SAYS. (Notes by "Atlas.") must be a bold and a self-denying man who would decline the proffered hospitality of princes,though acceptance would in some cases seem to lead to difficulty. I hear that the Admiralty is about to take serious notice of a case in point, in which a certain rear-admiral, well known for the breadth of this humour is asserted to have recently left his station and taken Ms flag-lieutenant with him, in obedience to an invitation of the Prince of Wales. "Rim" quocunque tnodo Rim" is the Prince's motto but the Ad- miralty does net seem to see it in the same light. Medical men are beginning to complain seriously of the effects of riuking" on some of their patients. It is not a question of bruises or broken wrists or frac- tured arms; it is the terrible shaking endured when a violent fall en the asphalt takes place. There is not the least yielding, as in the case of real ice and tt is said that some ladies have already suffered severely from the consequences of these heavy falla, and may suffer still more hereafter. If the akaterianot of the strongest, the jar that the whole system suffers is said to be of the most serious descrip- tion. Any one who can invent a surface which will have all the elasticity of real ice will be pretty sure to bring all the fair worshippers of St. Rinque to his establishment. I may add that, notwithstanding the above facts, most doctors agree that nothing can be more healthy and invigorating than riuking, as long as people keep on their feet. Mr. J. L. Toole has addressed an important letter to the Lord Chancellor pleading in favour of the appoint- mentof a public prosecutor, in consequence of the success invariably attendant upon the representation ef the drama Wig and Gown." Mr. Jamraoh has been doing a good stroke of busi- ness. When the Tour da Monde en 80 Jours was first brought out at the Porte St. Martin, M. Larochelle, the manager of the theatre, applied to the great wild- beast dealer for an elephant to figure on his boards. A small one was offered for £240, or on hire at £2 a night. M. Larochelle declined to pin chase, fearing that the elephant might be a "white" one to him when the play had run its course, and agreed to pay .£2 per diem or rather, per noctem. But he had better have bought the beast outright, for the Tour du Monde has been played 400 nights so that Mr. Jamrach has received £800 for the hire of the elephant, and still hilS him to sell at about the same figure as a well bied weight carrier. He "trumpets" with quite a Parisian accent, and always has a glass of afciUitAebefovcdinner. There is one class of men who do not, I am told look on rinkualism with unmixed satisfaction, namely London doctors. Sir William Gull is said to have remarked recently that Prince's cost him B500 a-year as there were so far fewer lackadaisical" young ladies who" didn't quite know what was the matter with them (a very paying class) among his patien s rince the opening of the establishment in Hans-place and its Imitators. On the other hand, surgeons, of course riew the rink movement with great g'ee. And so' oddly enough, do the makers of real" or ice skates, who find the number of their customers greatly inoreased by rinkualism direotly a frost sets in, the fair sex indulging in the idea that if you con skate on asphalt, ice is easily con,pie.ed. Ifthecotd weather lasts, we shall see some very pretty falls of the fair figurantes, I rather fancy. By the wav whilst writing of rinks, may it be asked, in ali humility, what is the sense of the rule at Prince's which forbids members from introducing male ac- quaintances but allows them to bring in a certain num- ber of friends of the fair sex in the year ? If there are objectionable" men who might be brought within the sacred precincts, surely there are at least as many U objectionable persons of the female persuasion; and, on the old rule of corruptio optima pessima, an objectionable she is ten times worle than an objection- able he.
