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.

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.

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=.

FROM CITY CORRESPONDENTS .
FROM CITY CORRESPONDENTS IT is understood that a mixed committee o* officials representing the Board of Trade and the Admiralty is to be appointed to investigate the conditions under which gun practice can be most safely carried on by seamen of the fleet near the coast. Some naval officers, and perhaps an Artillery officer, probably one from the Shoebury- ness School of Artillery, will have seats on the commission. It is to be hoped that pending *he inquiry the Admiralty will proceed no further with its ill-judged scheme for establishing a new school of naval gunnery at Sheerness, which has so seriously alarmed the fishermen of the Thames and the skippers of all vessels and barges that navigate the Thames estuary. The target practice carried on from the Garrison Point1 Battery at present is full of danger to craft ing past Sheerness,-and any scheme to augment I the risks already ruu will, we hope, be most jealously scrutinised. IN London a juryman the other day protested against a negro ratepayer sitting on a coroner's jury with him on the ground that "he is not a. lotive of this country" has singularly narrow views, which have certainly been but little en- larged by that kind of ohrrvation which is able, as Dr. Johnson says, to '■ survey mankind from China to Peru." Indeed, if this fastidious juryman were capable of noting as atten- tively as could be desired even what is going on in his own country, he could haroly fail to know that people of widely different nationalities serve, under certain cir- cumstances, on juries. There was a quiet dignity about the dark-skinned juryman which was not without its effect when in reply to the rude allu- slons to him he said, "I have been in England sixteen years, and was married in this country. I am not sitting here from choice but of neces- sity"; and of course the protest against his sitting was disregarded by the coroner. In good manners there could be no question which of the two jurymea excelled. ALTHOUGH a. reduction of wages can in no sense be descrihed nsa popular piece ef business, theresulc of the Cardiff negotiations caused a feeling'of re- lief throughout South Wales. The new seale on which wages will be paid on settlements to be arrived at every two instead of three months is a compromise. As though to prove that the men's delegates did not abuse the absolute power given them by their constituents, something of the same kind took place on the following day, at the opposite end of the country—or was one lowering of wages the result of the other ? In Northum- berland the coalowners demanded a reduction ot 7 k per cent. Instead of talking of a fight, the men's representatives offered to accept a drop of 5. and this, the first reduction in the district for three years, was amicably decided upon. I be- lieve that I am correct in stating that both h- umberland and South Wales are outsi ie the National Federation of Miners, a conference of which body will be held during, the present month at Hunley, when some lively discussions may be expected. DURIXG the year just ended the British and Foreign Blind Association have embossed over 8.500 books in English, French, German, Italian, and other languages on the economical and e; oient 1 r-tille system, for the use of the blind. They also pubiish two magazines on the. same sysienj of embossed or raised letters..of which -lie is eo rided Progress." while the other. designed for the young, hears the inviting name of Play- time." Sixty-five blind persons are, we under- stand. empdived in writing books for their i'eliow- sufferers; besides which 160 volunteers, mostly la lies, are cUlJstsJüly engaged iu writing out the first Briiilie copies. in this way about £ 00. different works have been written out, many of them extending over a great number of volumes, such as Lori Lytton's "Harold,"Justin McCarthy's •' History of Our Own Tin.es," Sir R. Ball's "Story of the Heavens," Sir Walter Scott's Old Mortal- ity." and George Eliot's Romola." Many blind chile,ren are. it is stated, now4 educated in board it, which "Readera" are used different from thoe that have been printed in Braille. Tn such esses any desired school-book "can soon be written out, so th-.r, he child is able to read from the same book as its seeing companions. THE statements made at the meetings of the omnibus men of North London, seriously impugn the good faith or two of the largest companies I engage in the by which the men assembled live. It is alleged that the treatment of the old servants of these companies distinctly shows that every effort is made to get rid of them on the most frivolous pretexts, and th- ;t men Tho have served their employers faithfully and well for long periods have been discharged for no suiScienc reason. If this is the case it is not surprising that soell conduct should be stigmatised as both tyrannical and unfair, and that the men should, under the auspices of the Omnibus and Tram "Wurkers Union, seek in combination the s >la- tieu of the difficulty. Whatever may he the sncoess of the proposed co-operative omnibuses, the first of Hr5jtlh' is to csntmence raunin# in ilajBch. to he foilowe i at intervals by others, it is I certainly to the interest of tBe companies icon- I eerived to redressspeeotly the grievances indicated 1 at the meeting. There has been so little done iu the way of improving the -omnibuses of one at least of these companies during the last thirty years that the public are not much disused to sympathise with any spirit of parsimopy which is solely directed to securing large dividends. j THE Middlesex Coant-y Council would like to make horticulture one of the subjects of technical education, but the Director of Kew Gardens says that it canitotbe dorve. The cultivation of plants, he observes, is au art which can only be acquired' by practi-o. and therefore, it appears to him. it. cannot be taught in the leeture-room any more than pnittting or shoe-snaking. "I know." says Mr. Tiiiseltoa Dyer. '• of no royal or theoretical road to tho acquisition of a competent or even useful knowledge of the-.gardener's axe except; by beginning at the bottom and going through every <operatiou. iroin the most,elementary to the most difficult and -refined. If an intelligent man* -does that, and keeps his eyes open, he may become a -cess eiier, But the mere ueading of ■books and attendance on dec aires will never, in my judgmeutwinake any on:a even a/moderately competent gardener." Beyond the horticultural library and Lures. the Iioya.1 Gardens, from the necessities of the organisation, are, Mar. Dyer explains, unable ,to teach young men the Rudi- ments of their iprofession, wlrioh they are expected to acquire bef<M&&iad. Wliat they gain at ivew (says tie Director; is t-he opportunity of seeing a largerjmnge of dinherent kindest cultivationithauv they can See in a»yjarivate establishment." • THE, O&e thing- in America, writes a Iænilon cwiraaponden^ that^tjrik^san Englishman as most unlike wh-at he finds?home 1 According to thgs Duke of 'Marlborough lit is the American woman.

LAST SATUKDAY'S MATCHES.
LAST SATUKDAY'S MATCHES. BRYNMAWR v. BLAENAVON WHITE STARS. A match was played between the above teams on Saturday last on the ground of the former. The ground was in a most wretched condition. Blaenavon was very poorly represented, two Brynmawr men being amongst the substitutes. Brynmawr having started operations,play set-tied down in the visitors' 25, when it was seen that the homesters meant work, out the grand defen- sive play of the Blaenavon backs removed the pressure time after time, T. Jones, G. Doggett, Wliatiey, and Caddick being very conspicuous. Half-time score Brynmawr, 1 minor Blaen- avon, nil. When the ball was set rolling, the visitors had to act on the defensive, the homesters carrying all before them, and but tor the plucky play of the Blaenavon halves would have scored time after time but Brynmawr would not be denied, as from a loose rush they succeeded in notching a try between the posts, which was converted. Time was soon after called, much to the relief of b)th teams (as the ground was in a quagmire), leaving Biynmawr winners by 1 goal and 2 minors to mi. The toi- lowing represented Blaenavon Back, C. Whit- combe three-quarters, T. Jones, Doggett, M. Whatley, and Caddick half-backs, E. Warman, and J. Whitcombe (capt.) forwards, G. Pearce, H. Jones, J. Whatley, A. Winstone, D. Parry, M.

Gething was not in his usual form, although he made a Qouple of good runs and got over once but it resulted in a touch in goal. At half-back W. H. Jones and W. Evans were very safe..Jones stopping a few dangerous rushes. The forwards played a good game in the loose, but not so well in the tight scrums, the 'Quins forwards being too heavy for them. The 'Quins back was very safe and kicked fairly well. The three-quarters and half-backs all combined played a fairly goad game, btit were not equal to the home backs.

He found marks of violence on the bead and fdce. lie told the Court that the cause of the death was suffocation by deliberate pres- sure. The jury returned a verdict of wilful mnrd^ against some person at present unknown.
SUPPOSED TRANCE.
SUPPOSED TRANCE. The oeath of a man named William Edmunds, at Whe-nhampstead. near Luton, is surrounded by extraordinary circumstances. Taken home one day. Edmunds became unconscious. The doc- tor certified him to be dead. The interment was fixed, and the deceased placed in a coffin. When the lid was about to be screwed down his aunt doubted that he was dead. declaring that his mouth was warm. The funeral was immediately postponed. The doctor, however, again certified that death had taken place. An inquest was held and much evidence was given showing that Edmunds had suffered from fits of gidaiuess and had sometimes been uuconscious. A verdict of "Death from natural causes" was returned, whereupon the funeral took place.
PAINFUL DEATH FROM LOCIvJAW
PAINFUL DEATH FROM LOCIvJAW An inquest has been held near Sittiugbourne- touching the death of a married woman named Ann Sawyer. aged forty-five. It seems that about a fortnight previously the deceased slipped, on a piece of orange-peel on the pavetI)ent in Sitting- bourne, and falling down. struck the back of her head with great force on a doorstep. She was taken home. A medical man was not called in for some days afterwards, and when Dr. Gosse was summoned he found the deceased suffering from tetanus. Lockjaw eventually set in, and she died of exhaustion. Deceased and her husband lived in a wooden hut 12ft. by 8ft., the principal article of furniture being a bed. There was no ventilation in the place, and this miserable dwel- ling was so dirty that the doctor attributed her death in a great measure to it. A verdict in ac- cordance with the medical testimony was returned, and the attention of the sanitary authority was directed to the dwelling. "1. M
