Four DrLupep Boys,—A party of four lads, rangivg from fourteen to sixteen years old, and belonving to respectable Montreal fami- lies, left their comfortable homes the other evening and boarded a New York train, jubi- lant with hopes of making fortunes in the neighboring Republic. One of the lads is a son of Mr. Tester, of the Customs Depart- ment, avd another a son of Sergeant Holbrook, of the Water Police Force. The names of the other two have not been ascertained, but they are all said to have been companions of the brothers Grey, arrested the other week on a charge of forgery.

Whore reference to the Krakatoa eruption, Prof, Alph. Milne-Edwards read at the Paris Academy of Sciences, on January 28, a letter from a correspondent in Reunion, in which it is stated that®the intensity of the sky-tints was always greatest where the showers of voleanic ashes had been observed. Thus the path of the volcanic cloud can be traced step by atep, and its trajectory found to be that of an ordinary cyclone. M. Wolf showed how a study of the curves registered by the bar- ometer establishes two atmospheric waves starting at the same time from Krakatoa, one toward the east and the other toward the west; the former to reach us had to traverse 11,500 kilometres, and the later 13,500. M. Wolf showed that the rate of progress was that of sound, and on the basis of this and the distances, he found the eruption to have taken place on August 27, at 11h, 43m, a. m.

’ Funeral Expenses.

The grinding tax laid by funeral fashions on mourning and sometimes destitute households has been attacked with spirit by the Rev. Mr. Burton of the Northern Congregational Church. May success attend his efforts. The “Bystander” had brought under his notice the case of a widow left penniless, and barely able by her labor te gain bread for herself and her children, who had incurred a debt of over thirty dollars for funeral fripperies. If anywhere, vanity ought to veil its face mn prs nee of death. Yet it is now the fashion t» publish in the newspapers cataloguesof he fora offerings. Is the clay which is carried to the grave the man, or is it not? If it is, the burial service is a mockery. If it is not, why lavish money and heap decorations on itas though it were? But some day these questions will be settled by the vic- tory of cremation, which evidently hegins to gain ground, and has just obtained recog- nition from the Jaw courts in England, over the revolting practice of protracting the process of cecry by coffin burial, while, at the same time, the hideous risk is in- carred. of burying somebody alive. —By- stander.

The mob fired the Court House and in the general malee that ensued, some 18 or 20 were kiiled. On Suaday night the mob again attacked the jail in which there are 40 murderers, some awaiting trial, and after serious encounters by the police, the mob were repulsed. At daylight this Monday morping a report- er waiked through that quarter of the city, where the stormy scenes occurrred, and he reports having seen many dead and wound- ed lying on the streets.

Gerdon Encounters the f ebels. Lonpon, March 30. It is reported that on the 16th General Gordon made a sortie from Khartoum, with 3,000 men, two guns and a squad row of Bashi Bazouk cavalry, accompanied by three steamers on the river. The rebels

were encountered near Halfiquh. Sixty of the enemy’s cavalry charged Bashi

Bazouk’s, and put them to flight. causing a pavic among the infantry, who also fled in creat disorder. Gen. Gordon returned to Khartonm. Notwithstanding this check he declares Khartoum is quite safe.

A Ramor Regarding Gordon.

Carro, March 30.

Rumnr is current that Gen. Gordon surrendered Khartoum some days ago toa Sheik representing El Madhi, and that three days afterwards he and his secretary were arrested and imprisoned.

Sir Evelyn Baring has sent a communi- cation to the Governor of Berber, insisting that he ascertain the true position of Gen. Gordon. Another report is to the effect that on nearing the rebels Gen. Gordon drew up his troops in form of a square, in which they kept until the Egyptians turned and fied. Two thousand of them were slauzhtered and three guns were lost. There are enough provisions at Khartoum to enable the town to hold out until winter.

The Bead Prince.

Lonpon, March 29.

A despatch from Cannes states that the body of the Duke of Albany will be placed in a coffin to-night, and start for England to-morrow.
