Blook. dwsellte The longest tunnel in the world, it ia believed, and which is now in a completed state, is that which drain, the Sclieimiitz mines in Hungary. It is about ten and one-fourth miles in length, or about a mile longer than the St. Gothard, and it haa a height of nine feet ten inches and a breadth of five feet three inches. The latest thing in "automatics" is a gas meter which givei vou one penny's worth of gas when you drop li penny into the slit. Whether there is u larger size, we have not heard, but a penny at a time in thii country would mean pretty close attention to the meter. The householder will be relieved from the incubus of tbe gas bill, and will know that he is getting his penny's worth for his penny; but he will have to he careful that his meter ii not robbed. Tapping gas meters will probably become one of the steps in the education of juvenile burglars. The United States consul at Bey- rout reports that a few months ago a party of Germans, under the patronage of their government, began excavations in a mound at the foot of the Anianus, (a mountain two days' journey south of ilarash in the Valayct of Aleppo,) and have discovered some 50 blocks of black basalt with bas-reliefs of men and animals, constituting the basement story of a large palace. These sculptures bear unmistakable characteristics of Hittite art, but no Hittite inscriptions have yet been found. In the court of the palace was discovered a colossal statue of Sardan- apalus covered with Assyrian cuneiform inscriptions. The Germans are still pushing forward their excavations in eager expectation of more important discoveries. Says an exchange: The revolt against the classical system of education is extending to England. It is a significant sign of the ohange coming over the educational thought of the country that th. Ber. Dr. Abbott, the head master of the Oity of London school, has recommended that the study of Latin in the middle school should be suppressed in two of the three forms, and additional instruction bo given in French, English, history, and geography. The recommendation hai been endorsed by a special committee appointed to enquire into tbe subject by the city corporation, and tbey have added a suggestion that German should be made a regular and compulsory study for the. upper .port of the sixth form who have attained a sufficient degree of efficiency in French. This is th. way the "national game" strikes the funny man of the New York Tribune: To see a hot- culean figure suddenly go into momentary convulsions; to see th. ball he had held in his hand dart through the air with force enough to break an ox's skull; to see the batter swing his club and hit the missile squarely, which means a single point of a sphere has hit a single point of a cirole; to see it plunge into the air or whizz across the field; to see the striker tear along to his first objective, point as if chased by the furies; to see the hall descend plump into the extended palm of an alert fielder, or to see its course cut short by tbe daring hand of a shortstop who thereupon hurls it over to the point whither the striker il aiming, so that even his flying feet are outstripped in the race—this is a speotuole over which a wooden man should be ashamed not to enthuse. "The red planet Mars" lim had a good deal of public attention lately— changes apparent in the markings on his surface having attracted attention. Of course there is a good deal of guesswork almut what wu may cull tho minor details of astronomy. It seems pretty certain tlmt Mars has a thin, almost or entirely cloudless atmosphere, aud that lln: atmosphere contains water vapor, shewing the presence of water ou his surface. Whether the marking, called "ocoans," "lakes" and no forth are really water ia another question, and the same uncertainty exists about the white spots supposed to represent the polar snows, One puzzle remains unsolved, Some 48,000,000 miles farther from the sun than we are, and with a thinner air, Mars ought to be "cold enough to freeze the fairies," But instead of boing covered with an armor of ice, he seems tn have much smaller cold spots at the poles than we have, allowing for difference in size. Where does his heat come from 1— that is the puzzle. Children Cryfor Pitcher'sCtiloria BY TELEGRAPH. Tarkny « Her DlinllyFeuial. Slug. Sirs Maud up fur Neve. Bounds.. Hew IfglHlioiui',.

Br-TAio, N.Y., Sept. 17.—An exciting prize fight occurred early thii morning between Mra. Hattie Leslie, a young married woman in thii city, aud MUt Alice Leary, ol Bradford, Pi. Both were itrong young person!, under 30 yean of age, and have had ooniiderable experience j in sparring ■nd showed considerable science. the fight occurred on Navy Island in the ' Niaeara river. Seven rattling roundi were fought. Mn. Leslie being teennded by Leblinohe, "the marine," and Miu Leary by Billy Baker. Mrs.liesliewonintlieiereiith round on a terrific right liunilur delivered between the eyas of her op ponent. Both were badly punished: Mrs. Leslie having two black eyes and Mill Leary one. The fight wm wit- netted by about 50 sports. The stakes were (500 a lide and the female champion,liip of the world. " I could have knocked her out in the 3rd round," laid Mn. Leslie, while dressing with her hutband'i assistance, "but I wanted to keep up the excitement. She only hit me four times, but they counted. These were on tlie mouth end one between the eyes." "Iquit," laid Miss Lear,, "and she will tell you io privately. She knows I wanted her to win so she might make money by it. Poor thing, she kiion-s she can't knock mo out. I only hit her four times, for I oouid not bear to do it. She will tell you I wai not licked." CLOSED THEIR SDOrs. Paris, Sept 17.—In consequence of tbe municipal decree lowering the price of bread, the bakers of St. Denii have doted their shopi, Tlie working people, becoming incensed, plundered some of the shops, and a few hive been reopened. Great excitement prevails and many arrests have been made. FiaHTISO FOR PASHENGEUS. New York, Sept. 17.—At Castle Garden, this afternoon, about two hundred frightened immigrants were hustled about, owing to a diiputo between' railroad men, one lido claiming the other aide had stolen a barge full. The excitement lasted nearly au hour, when Commissioner Stephenson accidentally appeared and itraightened out matters for the immigranta. CYCLONE ATSBA. New Yobk, Sept. 17.—The French steamship La Bourgoy ne, which arrived to-day from Havre, experienced a terrific cyclone from the weit on Wodnei- day which lasted thirty-six houn. During Ihe itorm part of the ship's bridge wis carried away and the boats were started from their fastenings, Yeiterdiy morning a seaman fell from aloft overboard, striking the rail in his descent, and was lost. PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS, f Washuiotos, Sopt. 17.—Eeportt coining into the capital frqm different points are of an encouraging nature lot the republicans. Quito an animated war hai broken out. among local democratic politician! in the old dominion. Tho republican! are quite gleeful over the renewed oppositiou of President Cleveland to the abolition of the tobacco tax, and hints in the letter of acceptance of General Harrison in favor of the Blair educational bill. The trouble hat been made worse be- cauaeof the active adrocacy of local democratic speakers in favor of thete two propositions. They have, in fact, devoted most of their time to arguments in lupport of the total abolition of tbe tobacco tax, and in the case of the Blair educational bill there is a docided feeling among the people in its favor. Congressman Goff, of Wost Va., atid lo-iiioht that there wis little quettion in hit mind that the republicans would carry tho state in the fall. The trouble among tho republican! of the Petersburg district hll been settled and tbe rank and file will vote for Harrison and protection. Congressman Goff laid they wore counting on decided gains in congressmen. This idea of putting forth their heststrength for congressional district* is actively siipporlod by Mahone, who says that it is certain to bring forth great results, while the outco:no of the presidential vote in tho state is much inure in doubt, EAltrilQUAKE.

S. court for the reconsideration and revocation of judgment in the matter of contempt at tlie time of the decision of demurrer in euit against the Sharon estate, came up this morning. Justice Field rendered the opinion the court held that the eentenoe, instead of being exceuive, was not comrueniurate with the gravity of ihe offence. The opinion traverse! tbe petition, and says that the claim of Mr. Terry wai indiicreet, as it ia to be construed as admitting the offence.

In our advertising columns will be found an advertisement stating that the annual exhibition of the British Columbia Agricultural Asso- cion will be held at the agricultural hall and grounds, Beacon Hill, Victoria, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1th, 5th and 6th. Applications for entries, ifcc, must be made to Thos. Russell, secretary. Admission to the hall and grounds for non-members will be 50 cents, and children 25 cents. We suppose there will be family and season tioketi also. Now that so many are coming anil going and it has become quite the fashion to take a run over to Britiih Oolumbia from nearly all parti of the world, it may be expected that a larger assemblage than usual will be present at our annual exhibition noxt month, more especially if we are favored with regular B. 0, Ootobor weather on that occaaion. The exhibition lite il by no meani central, it ii true, but suoh are the preient arrangement! that every alternate year the farmers of the mainland muat ship themselves and their exhibits away down to the extreme corner of "land's end," as it were, and it is to be hoped that their enthusiasm and patriotism may once more turvive the ordeal, and that the farmers and other exhibitors of the mainland will vie with their iiland brethren iu making the approaching annual fuir a success. The trip to the island oity will not be altogether a drawback, as it will constitute a pleasant break in the monotony which probably affeots the lives of farmer! and their families as well as those of other people, and Victoria will be found to be a pretty little city, whose people show no end of hospitality to strangers. We would remind the directors who belong to this oity that the exhibition, in the present order of things, will be held here next year, and it is to be hoped that this fact may not be overlooked, as was done on a former occasion, as the result of indifference on the part of those who might have been expected to look after the interests of the city. The attention of the oivilized world is just now, more than usually, being drawn Africa-wards. Major Bartellot haa been treacherously murdered by hit head Arab servant. If jli-ffitM,^, thit Stanley has luffered n, limilarfate. Expeditions —Engliih and German—are organizing to aearch for Stanley and Emin Bey, and it ia to be hoped that the "dark continent may be forced soon to give up some of its secrets, regarding the brave, self-devoted men that have been swallowed up in her depths. Something about Emin Bey, in a*l»ose ,ii»terest Stanley or- ganized hia relief expedition so many monthi ago, may be of interest. The name would . imply that he was a Turk, but most of our readers probably know that he is a German. Hia real name is Edward Sohnitzen, his father being a merchant of Oppeln, in Prussian Silesia, where the celebrated explorer was born in March, 1840, making him now not much past b.U prime. His student years were paised in Neisse, and the Bres- lau and Berlin universities. Having completed his medical studies in the latter university in 1864 a strong desire for travel led him to look for employment in a foreign country, and before long he was in Turkey on the staff ot Hakki Pasha whom, until hia death in Constantinople in 1873, he accompanied on his official journey!, and* in this way became thoroughly acquainted with Armenia, Syria and Arabia. In 1875 a fit of home liokness drove him home, but he could not be content to remain •nd during the next year he entered the Egyptian service under the name of Dr. Emin Effendi, and wss ordered off to act as ohief medical officer under General Gordon who was then Governor-General of the equatorial province of the Sou- din. Gordon, quick to recognize the value of a gifted man, employed him at once on diplomatic missions •nd lent him on tours of inspection through the newly-annexed districts, and in March, 1887, when he hini- ael* wu appointed Governor-General of the whole Soudan and removed hia headquarters from Gondokoro to Khartoum, left Emin in his place as Governor of the equatorial province. Dr. Falkin, a friend of Emin Bey, esyiof him: "He banished the remaining slave-dealers, substituted native for Egyptian soldiers, was chief doctor, road-maker, builder, directing agriculturist, promoter of commerce, and manufacturer. He added large districts to his province not hy the use of the sword, but by personal negotiations with the chiefs. He made immense collections of plants and birds and beaiti from which he enriched the museums of the cities of Europe." By the year 1882, imtead ot the annual deficit of one hundred tnd sixty-three thousand dollars which met him during bit fint year of office, he had a lurplui of forty thousand dollars and during th. lost five years he has •ingle-handed held hii province safe •mid the wars and tumults around it. On on. side he has had the Arab emiuaries of the Mahdi, triumphant over the defeat of the English and the death of Gordon;, and on the other tie blood-thirsty young king KaWOfB of Uganda, the terrible per secution in whoso territory had its crowning in tho tragic death of Bishop Hannington. From February, 1883, to December, 1885, he heard not even one word from Khartoum, and not until February, 1886, did; he learn of .the fall of the city and Gordon's death. Never so long as Emin Boy lives will General Gordon lack a monument, for in him his spirit lives. When he learned a year ago that an expedition for his rescue, headed by Stanley, had started across the continent he wrote: "If a relief expedition conies to us, I will on no account leave my people. Wo have passed through troublous times together, and I consider it would be a shameful act on my port wero I to desert them. They are, notwithstanding all their hardships, brave and good, with the exception of the Egyptians, * * * All we would ask England to do is to bring about a better understanding with tho Uganda, and to provide us with a safe way to the coast. That is all we want. Evacuate our territory! Certainly not." In another part of the same letter he says: "The work that Gordon paid for with his blood, I will strive to carry on, if not with his energy and genius,, still according to his intentions and in his spirit. When my lamented chief placed the government of this country in my hands, he wrote to me, —'1 appoint you for civilization and progress sake.' I have doue my best to justify the trust he had in me; and that I have to some extent been successful, and have won the confidence of tho natives, is proved by the fact that 1 and my handful of people have held our own up to the present day in the midst of hundreds of thousands of natives. I remain here the last and only representative of Gordon's staff. * * * Shall I now give up the work because a way will soon be open to the const? Never." As to the work which Emin Bey is doing among the natives, it may be remarked in a general way, that ho is introducing civilizing and Christianizing influences among them, teaching them how to develop their natural resources, and organizing them military fashion, thus enabling them to protect themselves against the slave- trading fiends. Altogether he is doing a great and noble work. The world will trust that the brave Stanley, who went to Emin Bey's relief, may not have met tho hard fate which it is now feared has befallen him.

"What splendid doable-play," said Mrs. John Montgomery Ward, the retired actress, from her reserved seat in the grand stand at the Polo ground the other day. It wai the lut inning ot the lust gamo of the seaion between the New Yorks and Detroit!. It wai anybody's victory. The ■core ot the Giants had been almost tied, "but with magnificent fielding the game vmsmved for the home team and the Wolr. rims added asothor to thelralready ^ioiig Hit of deflate. Tho aprlgntly Helen Dnuvray, now Mn, Ward, is probably the best feminine authority on baseball in the country. There is uo point of the game with which Bhe ii not,perfectly fa- miliar. Her judgment is faultless, und "Johnny" Ward, her lawyer spouse, admits that ahe knows more about the niceties of the game than he does, although he ii the author of a book on the subject, the short-stop of the "Giants" and the captain of the two nines that leave in November for the Antipodes to play cricket and baseball In the several Auitraltan cities. Mn. Ward never misses a game. She invariably accompanies her husband to the ground and on hii travel!, and keenly criticises any shortcomings on his part aa well as thou of hie brother professionals. "My wife," laid Mr. Ward, "Is a great lover of the game. Bhe certainly has a profound acquaintance with Its principles and has the faculty of making others understand them in a very short time. She ~, knowa alio tbl' peculiarities of each player and is able to make in a few well- chosen word! fie differences in style and method appare i." Mr. Ward 11 busily engaged In preparing for his visit to Australia. As baseball is comparatively unknown there, the Americans will have to play cricket and exhibition games of ball. The Australians are quick to learn and as they are very fine fielders iu cricket, they will soon prove to be formidable antagonists. This Australian expedition Is gotten up by Mr; A. J. Spalding, the President of the Chicago B. B. Club. He is only 37 years of age and is worth over a million dollars, all mado outof the manufacture of baseball implements. He was formerly a professional player and was pitcher for the Chlcagos. Mr. Spalding has chartered a steamer tlmt will leave San Francisco in November for Sydney, Australia. Captain Ward will- have twenty-thno men, under hlra, including Anton of the Chicago, nnilTiernnu, who, with the Bostona, played cricket In England. Big Connor of the New Yorks may perhaps go, and a number of the best players have already signed. Two American tricksters, whose specialty Is howling, and who also play hall, will he In the tenm. If Mr. Spalding succeeds In establishing baseball In Australia, the game can then be played the whole year round, A league club after going through the season here can cross the Pacific and find another- summer' awaiting them, for the 'seasons are reversed at the Antipodes, ' and December and January are the hottest.monthi. Mr. Ward plays cricket dally. V He lets up hia "stumps," puts on his leg-guards, gets someone to bowl to him aud defends his wicket and strikes with what Is to A baseball player a monstrous bat. Before the game with the Detroit! last. Saturday, he batted with the cricket bat for over half an hour and attracted much attention from the visitors to the Polo, ground, "The chief difficulty I find,1' said Mr. Ward, "in using the cricket bat, Is the necessity of keeping it down. You see, I am aoac- cuitomed to holding tbe baseball bat upwards, but I hsv* no doubt that the All America' Mum and myself will Boon get used to It." B. B. Vaixbhtine. FLEECING AMERICANS IN LONDON. Aa Safins Sharp.. Watf Did Vp n Ttt th Young Man from Milwaukee. The fleecing of the American abroad goei merrily on. The halt that always, catches the man from the States la the heavy swell. It Is not to be wondered at ' the shrewdest of Americans are deceived by London and Parlilin {ramblers when one rtf acta that the mart uottt* of nativi judge, are saally taken In by them. I recall an instants whioh serves to show how the London abarna work In the .year of grace, 188°, . I waa itanding In front of the Viotoria Hotel'one atfswoos with tire younger son of ose of UmtchMt men tn Milwaukee, wh« a victoria drove up to allow a gentleman known in Edwordes Potter, esq., to alight. I give his name because he is one ot the but known gamblers in London, though he poses as a howling swell. Ho Is rather consumptive In appearance, bnt looka in aristocrat from tha ton up. His carriage was perfectly appointed, the horses easily worth two thousand dollars, and both of the men on the box the perfection of good form. He wore white kid gloves with heavy Hack stitching. Aside from this bs wis perfectly dressed—a tall, languid roan with a drooping mustache, a single glass, and an air of und,- nlnlill distinction. I had seen him shout Loudon a good deal, learned that ho frequented the hotels where American! stopped, and that he wai a gambler. Afterwards I had seen him at the Smith- Kllraln fight, so that, when the son of one sf the richest men in Milwaukee rushed forward and grasped his hand, I thought that lomathlng would come of it. He was a olever little chap—my friend from Milwaukee—had apint a good many ot his twenty-eight years of life in roaming about, and was very well known: in New YorK- ■*"'JO "I luppose," I said, "that yon know that that man Is a professional gambler'" . "Nouaauael" said the only ion. "He'i mo of tha beil known men-abotit-town In LoniMn-oiaiBlng fellow in every tray. He hai Just bought a new gig, and he's going to take m. along to teit the springs." ' Half an honr later, Mr. Edwardes Potter. Whirled up to the door of the Victoria, nnd a beautiful ash onrt, with n chestnut cob, whose ihlny coat was embellished by a whit, collar nud a russet leather harness. The pair went off to a pigeon shoot and the only ion came back in tbe evening, mlity but happy. "Lost twenty pun's" ho said foggily as he went on his wny-to dinner. "An' your frleii', Edwurdes Potter, loaned It to me. That's th'kjn' of gambler ho Is. Good enough far me, I'll tell you that much." A couple of houn Inter; while I v>us nt the Savoy Th*atrt.lhe only ion drifts," Into the box with an Invitation to snppei aadaemall game of poker afterwards. 'ilhiaHlyouwiriiliere," lie aaid, "nml wiulsd t» catch you before you wen) ."•mo'l!betherer"Iaiked. . L''A"W*ndiol~ottn''Lh*said. "We're nwttxmtmmscatxmmmtrmt, just Koinp- to play ten BfcnHngs'liffilt?* When we returned to the hotel at mid* nlRlit, supper wasjluidt-. • , There were /our or five rptjnj nmonc them EtUvardesTotter and n ;Man-\Vho.

Thu only man 1 knew iu the crowd, an Irish lender, winked knowingly at me before the sup- ppr was finished. It was n very agreeable party, but not tho sort that one would euro to meet at a card table, Fortunately tho only son got three sheets in tho wind mul hecama helpless from wine before the supper was finished, and this' was the excuse for breaking tip tho party. Wo took him to his room, where his *or- vant put him to bed, and then we went back, smokedacinar with the gamblers and retired for the nlgljt. We left Mr, Ed wnrilcH Potter and ono of his Eugllsli cronies in the smoking room. Ten miu*, ntcs Inter mey'ascended to the third story of the hotel, though they did not live there, entered the room of the drowsy youngster from Milwaukee, rallied and joked with hlm for n while, got him to lilt up in be d and match coins, and when they loft ImTf an hour later they had "won" three thousand eight hundred dollars from him. Of this something over six hundred dollars was cash, tho rest an Inebriated I. 0. U. Tho following day there was n great stirabout.it. Itls only fair to miy that the man-igor of tlio hotel did all in bis power to got tbo money back, but, failing in this, ho cleared the ".molting room of as magnificent a colled Ion cf {-amblers as London co'UA ihdwi fiol.ud not known before that they were there. Nevertheless 1 noticed that when I returned to London again, Mr. Edwardes Potter wr.3 still ono of the most distinguished nnd apparently popular visitors to that and other hotels where Americans congrc- gato.

Bi.ai.ely Hali.. NEW YORK'S NEqiEOTED^QATS. Animals Left behind by Their PlcMttre- Taklnr Owners—Soino London Institutions for the Care of Our Dumb Friends, Tlie news was to day flashed across the cable that Queen Victoria had ordered nil her pet cats to be carefully packed In baskets nnd taken to Balmoral-*-an order which was carried out to the letter. The fumily cat is regarded with far greater respect in Enplnnd than America. Every householder in New York when he packs oil for tbe summer leaves the cat to live lu the streets. The consequence is that during the hot weather the cats (if the Empire city cry aloud uml shout; they wail in anguish to the'earless moon in moans "most musical], most meliiti- Cbolie." They make night hideous for callous-hearted man, who ignores their. Affection and rejects their companionship. Amoug cranks, commend mo to the animal loving crank. He is a bit weak- headed at times but softness of heart is qnii-e compatible with Btrongness of mind. Whether the Baroness Burdett-Coutts was cranky or not as.u connoisseur ill husbandry she shows admirable judgment In the care of animals.. And ber care for them when they cease from age or nialr.d- to be serviceable beasts of ..burden indu her to public homage. At Holly Lmlge, her beautiful suburban" home ut Hi-- li- gato, she keeps her worn out horses, donkeys, cattle, dogs, cats, and other pets, in well-tended pastures nnd stables until they die. And she visits them with the regularity of a doctor, sparing-nothing that can give them comfort. Others here and there do the same. I have seen pedigree cattle with famous names and records living in luxury to a grand old age, and I have also seen poor folks'-; broken down horses aind pets kept in country quarters at an- expense they could but ill ttHonl. ''The merciful man Is merciful to his beast." What of New Yorkers and their cats? If they sneer at tho baro idea of imitating th« example of those who have established a Homo for' Cats In London, let them. do something ■ better. For a'very small tee tlie Londoner who locks up house toigoa-hollduy- making can have his cat properly cared for until the family return. This is common humanity and common sense. If the wealthy New York homeowner, cannot afford to keep, his cat all the year round, be should have it killed nther than cruelly subject It to the fcoxiorsof ISew York street life.' ™v - London has long had its Home for Lost aud Stolen Dogs, and as a commercial nffair it pays its way. All dogs brought thero aro received and are left for several days. If not cklsicd, Iks ttougfels and <agcd are hilled hj.nn. iffeuloui arrntif-e* lucnt which tfttg't tan, many at a time; a painless death by cu {location. A miu.I1 charr-o is mado for the keep of dogs that aro claimed, and tho uoclaimed outs are sold aiippod prices.' ' ' flow often have you seen a dead donkey ( Tho Christian nana of most iihscs ls Methuselah. They decline to die on principle, thinking it quite derogatory to their reputation for obstinacy. 11 linve only seen one defunct donkey, and he had been persuaded to die by the whi- per ofupistbl. Thu late Lordt»haftet»faury,tlu philanthropist, whs presented with it donkey by the London - costeriuoDgers whose friend ho was, ami ono evening lie tooh It Upon the platform..and made his rpi'c-.! with hlo arm around the happy unlniUV neok. Thero are few charges of crnelly to their donkeys by costermongers. Some of their animals are quite handsome creatures and seem to do their 'bard work with enthusiasm. Kindness pays. One old fellow I used regularly to see calling at a certain beerhouse for his eleven o'clock drink. Tho beer was brought io him in a quart mug; first he would tako a long pull, then he would givo Nrddy a fair go at tt, and then be wonld finish the rest.. This, went on overy weekdiiy morning In the year, and doth he and his donkey were models- of sober denicntor. Another donkey I knew used to draw n little milk cart, or, ratW, a large milt can oil wheels. The man would fi>] -11■ smaller can he can led in bishaid ai- tho donkey would then go all by U.suif i;;. Q the street, stop at tlm houses of the ci;.*. toi.ipt-s quite correctly, nnd stepping wV Its font legs upon the door steps, wnnh t;ikf» the knocker lu it* teeth and give i, pcwt.man's "rat-tat."

I hare often wondered what It was that mode men affable, and why then should exist so many degrees of sociability. After pondering orer this qnesrtlon, I have concluded that while Intellect cuts a large figure In making a man affable, often tho main reason may be found in self-interest. A boor always shows that he Isdoflctent in common sense and gains absolutely, nothing by bis rudeness Inittbedlsllke of his fellows.

The lecture as a performance was clever, amusing sometimes, often startling, dramatic nnd entertaining as a whole, but as a means of popular moral instruction it was too much complicated by matter foreign to the subject and marred at timet by exaggeration (obviously for effect) by lomething very like contradictions, and by a too profuse, and, in some catei, slightly far-fetched style) of illustration. narrlaoB Bel Springs.

Victoria polished off Vancouver in short order making 15 runs against nothing. The match was uninteresting and nothing in the shape of brilliant play wu visible. Westminster vs. Donald was a tine game and onlookers expressed the opinion that the Royal City club exhibited the beat play of the day. In tbe first two innings Donald soored 0 rum against their opponent! 2 rum, which inclined many to think that the merit! of the mountain club had not been overestimated. But a surprise wai in store for all when Westminster settled down to work and barred out Donald for the rcit of the game.

The only cue on the docket wai that of Ah Moon chirged with the murder ot Ah Wahonthe 18th of November lut. The facta of the cue have not been published bofore. The deceased wu known to have ooniiderable money and lived by himtelf in a small cabin. Ho wu very friendly with Ah Moon and frequently invited him to viait the cabin which invitation Ah Moon alwayi accepted. They often gambled together and it wu generally understood that they met only for that purpoie. On the ovening of the 18th of November lait tho two were aeen gambling together and about midnight on the ume night tbe cabin ol Ah Wah wu ■een to be on fire, and it, with two othen, wore totally dealroyod. The next day lome human bonei were ditcovered among the burnt debrit and alio a double-edged knife, known to be the property of Ah Moon. Thia discovery, coupled with the fact thit Ah Moon wai teen during tho progreu of the fin with several cutt on hu face from which blood wat streaming, led to Ah Moon's arrest. In the month of April list a Chinimon while digging in rear of the burnt cabin unearthed a human hand and un further inveatiga- ti.iii the trunk of a body, clothed in garment t known tn belong to Ah Wah, was discovered. These _ wero found under the site uf the chicken houie, which wu burned it the same time as the eabin, and the theory il that Ah Moon, ifter cutting up his victim, had curried the trunk and hand out, thrown them under the ohioken house and set fire to it. When the roof of the house, which was covered with clay, fell, the fire wu extinguished and ihe remain! were thui preserved, unharmed, to give evidence of the murder. This theory is corroborated by tho fact that several chickens were found in a good state of preservition on the sarao spot. The trial wu long and tedioui and it wu 3 a, m. on the 12th when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Hii lordship immediately sentenced Ah Moon to be hanged on Nov. 12th.

Now, however, the Suez canal convention ii threatened in viewof the foot that an Italian fleet, formidable, alike in numben, in armament aud in ipeed, had for tho put few dayt been rendezvousing in the Mediterranean and that tho irouclada had gone there to demonstrate, either directly or indirectly, against Turkey.
