Mr, Sercranr Cox, who lately died in England, was about the fifth largest newspa per proprietor in London. He owned the ‘* Field,” which is immensly valuable ; the “Queen,” also a splendid property, and a law journal, which has a large circulation.
THe QUEEN, who was then at Balmoral, on the 2ist ult., attended the funeral of the late John Grant, 25 years head game-keeper, who was a great favorite at Court. He was buried at Braemar. Wreaths of immortelles were placed on his grave by the Queen and other members of the Royal family.
Joun Duny, the Scota-Zulu Chief, is, it appears, to be decorated as a member of the Order of St. Michael end St. George for his services to the British Government during the late campaign in Zululand. There is ne question as to the value of these services. They were most useful and important,
WE join the ranks of the ‘I-teld-you-so’s” in the matter of those November meteors. Didn’t show up? Why, of course the didn’t. Watched meteors never boil—we mean, fall. Next time a metoric display is advertised, go to bed, and if there isn't a soul to look at them, the shooting stars will be out in full force,
UY PRECEDENTLY wintry weather is reported at the present time in England’ Traffic of all kinds in the north and in parts of Scotland is suspended by the snow drifts; canals are frozen over, and skating was commenced yes- terday. During a heavy gale, numerous ves- sels have been driven ashoe, among them H. M.S. *‘Valorous.” |
Mr. axp Mrs. Lanarry are not coming to the United States at all; and that fact has been deemed fit to be telegraphed across the Atlantic. The inventions of science are cer- tainly put to very queer uses. The photo- graphers probably lose a handsome sum by this important decision on the part of the pro- fessional Beauty and her husband.
Tur ‘‘Vatorovs.”— The British frigate ‘*Valorous,” as cabled to the Halifax Mai/, was driven ashore by the severe tempest on the English eoast on Wednesday night. The ‘*Valerous” is a frigate of 2,300 tons burden, 1145 horse power, and carries one gua. She was re-commissioned at Jevonport for par- ticular service on the 26th February, 1878,
Tur President of the German Association of Ottawa waited on the Minister of Agriculture recently, on behalf of four German immigrants who recently arrived in this country, having been induced to emigrate upon the false re- presentations of German steamship agents. Not long ago the same thing occurred with some Irish emigrants. It is safe to say that an order will soon issue from the Government holding all steamship companies responsible for the results of auy such course of action on the part of their agents.
Dr. Hortmes’ Birtupay.—The seventieth birthday of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was celebrated by a breakfast given at the Hotel Brunswick, Boston, on Wednesday, by Mes- srs. Houghton & Osgood, publishers of the ‘* Atlantic Monthly.” The guests were mainly contributors to that periodical, and embraced many distinguished names. Ladies were in- cluded. Dr. Holmes’ response to the toast offered to him by Mr. Houghton was the read- ing of a poem entitled ‘Iron Gate,” closing with an intimation that it was his last appesr- ance in poetry. There was also a poem by Whittier, speeches and letters of regret.
