English Acquisitions in a

The Republige Francaise, commenting on the reported cession to England of Agbome and a contemplated cession of Agoona and Popo, charges England with a design of gradually aequiring the whole coast of Guinea and ealls on the French Govern- ment to take precautionary measures in the interest of the French factories, which are really colonies. Like attempts, it saye, on the Slave Coast were defeated in 1870 and 1875, through the ability of the French and the resistance of the natives attached to them. France dees not claim a mono- poly, for Africa istarge and rich enough for all; but she must insist on the status quo, or on. the same ect for her own rights which she shows te those of thers. The Ree publique Francaise, gn the ether hand coné pliments England Frange on the result so far of their joint action in Egypt. | In- stead of killing Egypt and fighting for the spoils, they have rejuvenated her and earn- ed her gratitude. They have thus been clever as well as generous, for in seund politics, asin law, the assassin is not his victim’s heir.

How to Get Rid of dadeatiit

(The Spectator. )

A poor woman, much given to gossip, but anxious to soar to higher things, is ex- plaining to Miss Hopkins her means for ridding her house of the gossips of the neighborhood, In answer to a remark of Miss Hopkins, that ‘‘ the Bible tells us to be courteous, ard that to turn folks ont of our house, however much in the way they may be, is apt to look rude,” she replied ; ‘*'The first thing I did was te get the brush and dust pan, and lay them handy ’gainst any neighbor comed in. Seon in pops Mrs. Smith. ‘Mrs. Smith,’ says I, ‘yeu won't mind my doing a bit of dustin,’ will yon, while you're talkin’? Of course she couldn't but be agreeable to that. So down ou my knees 1 goes, and begins to dust with all my might. But somehow, it was a& very curieus thing, and the dust allus would gather just under the chair wy neighbor was a sittin’ on. She’d shift and shift, bat ’'d allus be arter her with my old dust pan; and the dust ‘ad get up her nose, and she’d begin to sneeze ever so-— ketcher! ketcher!—-and soon shed say, ‘Well, I think—ketcher—I’ll call in another day, Mrs. Simpson, as I see you are— ketcher—busy.’ And so, in less than a week I had dusted all my neighbors ont of my house.

A Meteor.

Last evening, while the people from some of the churches were returving home after the services, they were surprised at the ap- pearance of a very bright light in the east- ern sky. The evening was very dark, and there was a sudden fiash as of the appear- ance of a very bright moon, though the light was of a peculiarshade. The meteor, as it is supposed to have been, was prob- ably what is knewn as the bolis, or fire ball, 2 luminous meteor of great splendor, moving with . considerable velocity at various altitudes and frequently of great magnitude. An authority says that ‘‘many extraerdinary meteors have been seen and recorded, one of the most remarkable being that deseribed by Blagden, in ‘Philosophi- cal Transactions.’ It oecurred on the 18th August, 1783, about 9 p. m., and was visible over a wide extent of Europe, from the north of Ireland to Rome, frequently changing its form and color. It crossed the zenith at Edinburgh, and then ap- peared round and of a greenish color, cast- ing ashade upon the ground of a similar tint; a tail of considerable length attended it. At Greenwich it appeared like two bright balls, followed by a number of others, connected together by a luminous body, and finally terminating in a blaze, tapering toa point; the colors ef the balls were different.—Moncton Times, Feb 9th.

Buying and Selling Virgins.

The practice of exhibiting young women in public places and selling them to hus- bands is not a custom peculiar to modern civilization, as the careless reader of the historian, Thackeray, might suppose. But the old mode of operations were different. We read, for instance, that in ancient Ba- bylon it was customary to assemble on a certain day all the virgins of a~-marriage- able age. The most beautiful were first put up, and the man who bid the largest sum of money gained possession of her. The second in personal appearance follow- ed, and the bidders gratified themselves with handsome wives according to the depth of their purses. But alas! it seems that there were in Babylon some ladies for whom no money was likely te be offered ; yet these also Were disposed of—so provi- dent were the Babylonians, ‘‘ When all the beautiful virgins,” says the historian,

‘were sold, the crier ordered the most de- formed to stand up, and after he had open- ly demanded who would marry her for a small dowry, she was at last consigned to the man who would be satisfied with the least ; and in this manner the money aris- ing from the sale of the handsome served asa portion to those who were either of disagreeable looks or that had any other imperfection. ” This custom prevailed about five hundred years before our Saviour, and from the standpoint of the ‘‘ imperfect” virgins seems to be not withent commend- able features.
