Dr, MeMullin, who celebrated the marriage ser- vice, is exposed toa fine of $109 for perform- ing the ceremony without the license being produced. The Governor and his bride have goue west-—to the distant Province of Mani- toba, and it is not probable that the authori- ties will interest themselves sufficiently in the matter as to endeavor to impose a penalty on a gentlemen who is so hi hly esteemed by all, Protestants and C athlon: as the present Administrator of this bishopless diocese.”

THe Temperance movement has extended to Switzerland, and M. Bodenheimer has been delivering a series of lectures with the view of impressing on the public the necessity of tak- ing some steps to check the spread of drunk enness, ‘the number of distilleries has multi- plied enormously of late years, especially in the cantons of Argan, Soleure, and Lucerne, while in the canton of Berne alone there are

12,000 stills. There are stills in nearly every farmer’s house and peasant’s cottage, ‘alcohol being made from potatoes and beetroot ; while from Germany is imported a quantity of sa- called ‘‘ mixed brandy,’’ which possesses the most deleterious properties. M. Bodenheimer suggests that the most effectual means of meeting the evil would be to increase the duty on alcohol, which at present is less than a thirtieth of the amount levied in England ; while there is no restriction upon the number of distilleries, which do not require a license and pay no tax.

Rev. W. B. Hixson preached in the Baptist Chapel on Sabbath night to a thronged house At six the house was overcrowded. From that hour till 6.30., the time of beginning the service, hundreds came secking admittance, but had to turn away. After the ordinance of Baptism was administrated to five candi- dates, the preacher announced his text: ‘‘Finally brethren farewell,” and for 45 minutes kept his audience spell bound. The preacher impressed upon his audience the transitory nature of all things, save the word of eternal truth. From this he drew much comfort to the Church, impressing upon her the stability of God’s promises, and appeale to the sinner to weigh’ the demands of the Gospel ef God's Son. The sermon is pro- nounced one of the ablest and most eloquent that these present had ever the pleasure of listening to. Mr. Hinson’s eloquence is simply grand. His manner bold and striking. Huis language so simple that even a child can com- prehe md every sentence. His work in the City is going on with increased interest,

DRINKING IN ScoTLanp.—-A writer in the Edinburgh Daily Review makes the following in the ladies’ room of a confectioner’s in Edinburgh, I counted twelve ladies at one time, each drink- ing spirits, porter or ale—none had wine, one, a girl not 14 years old, consumed a bottle of stout. At the counter of the same shop, while Iwas buying some ‘sweeties, two young ladies under 20 paid for three ‘ brandies and soda.’ In the same place, at another time, about noon, I was shocked to see a lady order and drink a giass of raw brandy, and go away without eating anything. A friend, who witnessed a similar incident, said the draught was followed by a liberal application of eau de cologne, to-cover the offensive smell, I am credibly informed that school girls, with books i in hand, go to the confectioner’s for ‘nips’ of cherry brandy, more than one such visit being paid by the same girl at different shops on her way home ; and in one case the

owner of the shop got ® severe reprimand |

from a young girl for having entered her brandy in the family passbook, as she intend-

ed to pay for it herself separately.”

Tux Constantinople correspondent of the

‘Jourual de Geneve” gives some Curious details respecting the expenditure of the | Sultan. This bankrapt, who can pay ineither his creditors nor his eivil emp loyes, land whose soldiers are literally starving, = 1m anages to waste £2,400,000 per annum on hi inself and the eunuchs, sultanas, and courtiers that reside in his palace. He | has 300 ceoks, 200 attendants tocarry food trom the kitchen to the table, 10 table- | masters to arrange the service, and 10 | stewards to draw up the daily menus.

14 "here are 10 employes to unfold the carpet

on which he prays, 10 cofle-roastersa, to make his coffee, 10 servants to clean his pipes, 20 valets to look after his clothes, 8 persons to light his chandeliers, 8 others to ciean his aviaries, 100 boatmen to row his hoat if he makes an excursion on the ' Bosphorus, 5 armourers, 2 hairdressers, /and 250 greoms. Altegether, 4,009 per- sons live at his expense. A shert time ago, a8 money Was searce, the purveyors of this imperial erowd refused further credit, but this has been met by the Sultan now laying hands on the Custom receipts and devoting them to his personal use.

Vanity Farr.—A well-known beauty in society occupied a stage box at a theatre in the Strand some nights ago. Her white furs and diamonds were the admiration of the house, Shortly after the beauty’s departure an ettendan 1t found a star of brilliants in the bex, and, like an honest woman, -gave the treasure-trove into the hands of the management. No inquiries were made néxteday at the theatre about the lost star, but ultimately it found its way into the righttul owner's hands. The

oddest part of the story ramains to be told,

The diamonds were false.

Guk Gattanr Ysomanny.—l!I do not wish to be hard on the Yeomanry, but the fol- lowing was told meas a fact by an officer of that branch of the service :— During the annual review of this regiment a heavy shower came on. The inspecting officer, wishing to make himself agreeable, desired the colenel to give the order to ‘‘ cloak.” The colonel turned rather red, and rode away to consult with the adjutant. In a few moments he returned, and confessed to the inspecting officer that the cloaks had not been unstrapped fer many years, and that if they were no one.in the regiment would know how to fold them up again.

Mr. Rousxirw on Arnt.—Mr. Ruskin hay- ing been asked his epinion as to the wisest course to be pursued to secure the reception of the best pictures in the proposed Leices- ter Art Gallery, has replied to a gentleman interesied in the guestion as follows ;— ** Dear Sir, Your letter is deeply interest- ing to me. But what use is there in my telling you what to do? The meb won't. let you do it. It is fatally true that no one nowadays can appreciate pictures by the old masters, and that everyone can under- stand Frith’s ‘ Derby Day’-—that is to say, everybody is interested in jockeys, harlots, mountebanks, and men about town, but nobedy in saints, heroes, kings, or wise men, either from the east or west. What can you do ! enough to carry such a resolution as the appointment of any single responsible per- son, any well-informed gent tleman of taste in your neighbourhood, to buy for the Lei- cester public just what he would bny for himself—-that is to say, himself and family, children being the really most important of the untaught publie—and to answer simply to all accusations, ‘ Is that a good and worthy piece of art (past or present, no matter which)?’ make the most and best you can of it—that method so long as ien- able 2 will be useful. I know of no ‘other. — Faithfully yours, J. Rusxiy.”

A Reav Baroness.—The Baroness bur- dett Coutts has sent Me. Ashmead Bartlett, formerly Commissioner to the Turkish Com- passionate Fund, to freland on a special inission connected with tha existing dis- tress.

A Cuanirasix Ipss.—Within the past week almost every children’s hospital in the United Kingdom (amounting in number to more than 100) has received a gift of about ferty copies of the ‘‘ ‘Little Folks’ Painting Book,’ painted throughout by readers of ‘*Little Feiks Magazine.” It should be explained that the painting book, contain- ing stories, verses, and piciures, was pre- pared by the publishers specially with a view to its being coloured by children for the benefit of the little patients in the | children’s hospitals throughout the country; (and to thisend numerous prizes were offered to the most successful artists. The wide- spread interest that has been taken in the preject is clearly shown by the faet that upwards ef four thousand five. hundred painting books have been received for distribution, from all classes of the com- munity, from the highest to the humblest ; while many of the beoks have travelled hundreds and thousands of miles, having been sent by readers of ‘‘ Little Felks”’ in Australia, India, the West Indiee, America, Russia, Turkey, Germany, Franee, Italy, &e,

The Presbyterian Church in Canada con- tains 860 pasteral charges ; 1,350 congre- gations ; 75,000 families ; and about 150,- 000 communicants. The average stipend is $850 per annum. Its contributions for missionary and college purposes last year reached $241,000, while for all purpuses, including ministers salaries, etc., there was raised nearly $1,250,000. Six theological colleges are connected with the church.
