ytOPICS OF THE WEEK. ^^JFWLLOWiNGhard upon the report of -the death Marguerite Gueringer, the rich begger of the a.e de Commune, Paris, who, despite her rags ttmd wretched way of life, was possessed of 25,000 Shanes, comes the announcement of the demise of jowther,ulms receiver at Brieg. in Germany. This Vma had 'in her possesion at her decease some *75 in kazd cash. On a close inspection of her %nctched mpartment. an old cushioa was found JUi of tfeaJars and mark pieces. ACCORDING to a correspondent at Monte Carlo, £ be Priiioe of Monaco in 1880 started in his yacht, "lie Hiroucktlle. accompanied by Professor G. rouchet, vrirh the object < iscovering the exact ^aeeti«nof the Gulf Streaui. Upon arriving in tte stream lie caused numbers of tffnaU bottles &0 be thrown overboard, containing a request, "printed in nine languages, to the finder to return the bowe. with enclosure, to the French Govern- ment. Nothing' had been heard of these bottles watal a few davs back. when news reached here that <me of the bottles had just been discovered at I&cmawsj Day. Jamaica. THE farmers of Lincolnshire are becoming alive to the fact that their present system of dairying it out of date and unsuiced to the times. Butter auld in the local markets at 7d. and 8d jper lb. simply for the reason that hitherto the urviera have not availed themselves of the advan- tages which come from the application of the fac- ~ftuy «y»tein tod;iiryi:ig. Steps are now being taken rfer the formation of a creamery at a central spot -)Ba the county. where the manufacture of butter tend cheese will be undertaken. The best creamery fcatters in Ireland and Devonsbrie are fetching. Mma average of Js 6d. per pound, w lilst the separ- sited Biilk is found to be good for the rearing of juicg stock.

During oar run across the ^Continent from ocean to ocean, not a man met watii mishap. e have, as it were, been whirled j illwig, and after a ride of 4.000 miles find ourselves wo excellent spirits and health. Everything has twen done in a satisfactory and thorough manner, sma our recommendatiun will be of a highly com- jffiwtntary character," SIX FREDERICK ROBERTS'S elevation to the yrrage will be received with acclamation. It has tteea hardly earned by many a brilliant achieve- asMiit by many a bold yet prudent piece of jfeneralship. Sir Frederick has never had the -splendid opportunities which fell to the great Sclerals of history; but he has made the most of imbese which came to him. Indeed, now that the Sbboti German leaders of 1870 are grme, we may Jftofe in rain through the armies of Europe for a Anablier wito has been so brilliantly successful in mommilnd. AndBobs Bahadur" is not merely mgood fighting general. His administration of 43ms Indian Army since he has beei its Comman- Aesr-ta-Chief, has been beyond praise; and the 0118 efficiency of that maguificent warlike sauwunwmt ia largely due to his administration. WHAT should be done to an employer who tiwe-atezz to discharge a man if he has to serve on a jcry 1 Threats of that kind have been heard of .Jbc$or £ and that was the reason given to uuder- Chcilff Bvrchell by a juror who aake 1 to be ex- MIMI. The Under-Shcriif thought the employer "a very unreasonable person," allll excused lffie juror fnr a fonn igut. Unreasonable is not 1tIIe word which best tits such conn net—supposing that the threats of dismissal were not invented by 41ms wily juror for the occasion. To punish a man Irm oiling his legal obligations is an offence the law when it takes certain forms, and elllaarp fiite would not be too severe a penalty in dncfa a case. It is often, tiO doubt, very annoying to kawt to serve on a jury but we are all liable ♦afee called upon in that way, and i.he servant ,we.t to be iu uo worse position than the master. 31=.
