THE WOMEN’S RIGHTS QUESTION IN ENGLAND,

A recent numberof the London 7imes gives the greater part of one of its ample pages to the report of a warm Parliament» ary debate on Mr. Jicob Bright's hill for removing the disabilities of women. ‘The only new point we have been able to dis- cover is the playful one presented by The O Donoghue. «He would ask his Loaor- uble friend, the member from Manchester, why man should reserve to himself the sole rght of putting a question on which the happiness of both sexes largely de- pended? (Laughter.) Why should not woman also he permitted to * pop the ques- tion ’ instead of waiting till she was asked ? The conventional restraint which prevent~ ed her from doing this and compelled her to endure a suspense which often, no doubt, was most painful, was the only dis. ability under which, so far as he knew, she was laboring, and if the honorable member for Manchester thought fit to introduce a bill or set on foot an agitation for its re- moval, he (The O'Donoghue)" would be prepared to give him his most ardent sup port.”” (Laughter.’”? There were several sportive sallies of this kind, though not so Criginal, in the course of =the debate, but the advantage of serious argument was on a side of the opponents of Mr, Bright’s

AERIAL TORPEDOES, Humanitarians, who look for the sup- pression of war to the development of the deadliest engines of warfare, will read with satisfaction a suggestion recently thrown out fora further employment of the tors pedo. A torpedo balloon the device is to be styled, and the name is a sufficient indi- cation of its nature. A balloon is to be constructed capable of rising with a tor~ pedo beneath it, and starting to windward of a camp or fortified city, or whatever it i; desired to destroy, is to be burst or de- tached by means of which it would be easy to contrive, and. thus to allow its cargo of death and destruction to fall into the midst of the enemy. The detachment, of the torpedo, it is suggested, might be eflected with gr@at ease and certainity by means of a thin electric wire, avd the proper moment for dropping ‘the charge, in. order to exs. plode it on any given, point, would be only a matter of instrumental observation and a hittle practice. The idea seems to be fear- fully. practicable ; and apart from thecon- sideration that the very. perfection of modern warfare. seems really to pre- sent ‘the most hopeful prospect of uni- versal’ peace, it might be’ denounced as too frightful an idea to be entertained by civilised , batants.; By means of such an engine a fortified place might be attack- ed froné 4 point from which no guns. could be brought mto action, and without the smailest: opportunity of’ retaliation. The carnage and devastation by the explosion of a terpedo ina fortress. or camp: would be infinitely greater than a bombshell could produce, ‘and while to the besiegers even a failure need involve ‘no harm’ oreven dans ger, the -balloon might be floated out of the. range. of shot, and to the besieged would be fraught with ruin against which no conceivable defence would avail any- thing, Ihe effect of a torpedo dropped into a garrissoned fortress or a fortified

pe ‘and’ al Feamp would be something realiy dreadful

to contemplate. — Coming Events. ————— 5

THE COLORADO. BEETLE.

The Colorado beetle may be easily iden. tified. he perfect insect looks at first sight like a very large Lady bird, or Lady. cow, as that pretty little insect is some- times less poetically called, but the colour of the Lady-bird is red with black spots, that of the Colorado beetle pale brown, with ten’ black lines or stripes arranged longitudinally down its back, It is not the pertect insect that is the most destructive, but the long bulbous-bodied spotted grub or larva, which feeds voraciously on the haulm. The eggs, the larva, and the per. fect insect, should be destroyed as soon as discovered. The most effective remedy, as we have before stated, for the beetle, that has yet been discovered, is Paris«green |—a preparation of arsenic, and conse quently a most dangerous poison. The most convenient method of using the Paris<green is, we repeat, by means of a tin can capable of holding about eight gal- lons, made of a shape to rest easily on the back of the labourer, 2s a knapsack or Cassiobury tire-engine would do. To the lower end of the can are attached two indiarubber tubes, each terminated in a “ sprinkler” like the nose of a watering- pot. There is a convenient lever at the bottom which presses the tubes and shuts off the outflow at will. When abou: to be used, ‘two bucketfuls of water are first poured into the can, then three table~ spoonfuls of good green well mixed with another half bucketiul of water, and strain. ed through a funnel-shaped strainer, which prevents the larger particles of the green from gettiug into the can and clog- ging up the sprinklers. Five to eight acres can be sprinkled by one man, and from 1 to 1jlb. of good green, according to the size of the plant, will suttice to the acre. The walking serves to keep the pn well shaken, and the flow of liquid is

regulated at will bya pressure of the fin- gers at the junction of the tubes with the metalic nogzies.’’ It may nct be amiss to -uggest the absolute necessity of using the can and other implements employed in u.stributing the Paris-green for no other purpose whatever, and to insist rigorously vu thorough cleanliness on the part of the

-}yo.kman when his work ts done.

| CLIPPINGS FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPERS, cy

A letter from Rome announces that Gaii- baldi has been extremely ill from an attack of arthritis. Last week he was seized with a fit, and remained jor some time quite stiffand cold like a corpse. When restored to consciousness he gaily remarked, *0, that’s nothing; you may be sure I shall survive Pio Nono, and attend his funeral.’ A letter from Menotti Garibaldi says his father is much better,

it is said an officer, who for some time past has followed the calling of a bansom cibsdriver, has recent!y been elected a member of one of the leading military clubs. If this be the case, it will be par- ticularly convenient for the members. They may have the chance of finding their driver in the smoking-room or reading room, and asking him if, when he has quite finished his cigar or concluded an article in the Times, he will be good enough to drive them as faras the Park, Of course all differences of opinion with regard to dis. tance and all disputes about fares would naturally be settled by the club committee Chis will make it particularly pleasant for all parties.—The World,

Amonst the French there is a saying that prayers should be short and sweet. CGen- eral Grant has a similar idea of eloquence. When he arrived at Ostend a few days ago, he answered the compliments of the bur« gomaster with these words: ‘I am obliged for your sentiments,’ |

A bronze statute of Robert Raikes, the founder of the Sunday School system, is about to be erected by national subscrip~ tion in his native town of Gloucester. Tho movement is promoted by tke Sunday School Union.

The Committee of the “ Volunteer Silk Bearers” are making arrangements for an evening class of Volunteer medical officers, under a Sergeantsinstructor of the Army Hospital Corps. The object of the course will be to enable the medical officers to qualify themselves to instruct the neces- sary proportion of men of their respective regiments, on the methods adapted in the Bitish Army of attending to sick and wounded.in the field.) A preparatory meeting is to be held at the Society of Art-, on the 25th inst,

THE Conressioxat.— We. are informed that a declaration to her Majesty the Queen is In preparation on the subject of confes- sion, to be signed by wives.and, mothers who themselves go to confession and who bring up their .children to the sme pracs tice, those of persons in high position. A docus ment, to be signed by laymen éxclusively, expressing sympathy with the Society of the Holy Cross, is also drafted, which as- serts the right of the laity to the use of

Ballarat rather prides “itself “or! being ‘a gosahead place, somewhat on the Yankee pattern; yet undoubtedly, in one respect, the inhabitants more resemble snails than any other Jiving creatures: In Wogland, when guartersday comes round, many, fam- ilies sift their household goods from oae dwelling to another: in Ballarat they have very much improved on that, for the house itself is placed on a huge machine called a jinker, nnd transported holusbolus from one street to another, But this mode of fitting has its draw-backs; and the men of Ballar- at have petitioned their City Council to prohibit the passage of the huge jinkers through the streets after dark, on account of the number of accidents which occur with them during the hours of night.

A Second Koh-i-Noor.—An unique white aquasmarine has been found in Perthshire, which, when cut, has produced one of the most brilliant gems ever seen, and which will doubtless gain European notoriety. By those skilled in mineralogical and geo- logical science it is said to be equal to the Koh-isNoor, It weighs 147 carats, and has been valued at £19,500, and is at present inthe possession of Mr. Bryce Wrigat, mineralogist, of Great Russell Street.

Johy Bright, speaking at Bradford after the unveiling of the Cobden memorial statutesargued that to prevent Russia from approaching Constantinople, would be to debar her of one of the commonest rights of a belligerent. ,

it is well known that post*cards are ree garded by village postmistresses as a phil« anthropic jnstitution designed purposely to relieve the monotony of their ljves, They religiously read through every post-~card that passes through their hands, and are duly thankful to Government for allowing them this little pleasurable excitement. Oczasionally, however, these worthy gos- sips must be rather puzzled, not to say hor- rified, by the contents of post-cards which come under their inspection, Conceive, for example, the expression of horror and amazement on the face of a postmistress of a certain Lincolnshire village on perusing the following post-card, addressed to the wife of the rector :—‘‘ My dear Sister,—

You wilj be glad to hear that 1 am hung, and that my friends say that I have richly deserved it,’”’ And imagine the further

mystification caused by the subsequent ar. rival of this:—“My dear Sister,—More good news! Iam sold, and have fetched more than 1 expected.” nevertheless, quite simple, and free from. any element of tragedy. It was merely an art st writing to his sister, and announcing his success at the Royal Academy Exhibi. tion!
