* Enoch Arden” Case in Quebec.

A QUEBECER WHO LEFT HIS WIFE THIRTEEN YEARS AGO RETURNED THE OTHER DAY TO FIND HER MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN.

A few days ago, a native of St. Rochs’, Que., named Robitaille, who jhas been ab- sent in the United States since the year 1866, returned to the city. Robitaille, when he left Quebec 13 years ago, left be- hind him his wife, whose maiden name was Julia Moren, and whom he was married te in St. Rochs’ Church in 1855. On his re- turn here, Robitaille expressed great sur- prise at being told that his wife had been unted in marriage but two years ago to a pilot named Russell, now an inmate of the SBeauport § Lu- natic Asylum, and _— for whom she had acted for some time as housekeeper. Legal proceedings have been taken in the matter, though Robitaille avows that he has no desire to receive his wife back again, and the preliminary inves- tigation into the case is now proceeding in the Police Court. Whether or not the woman believed her husband dead, has not transpired ; but her neighbors give her a very good character, aud say that she has already walked to St. Anne’s twice, bare- footed, in the hope ef curing her second husband of his insanity.

Threatened War in New Zealand.

Writing from Wellington under date June 21, the correspondent of the Standard says : ‘* As the mail is leaving, warlike preparations are being made by the Government in view of a possible conflict with the Maoris, who have lately been causing a great deal of an- xiety by their conduct in the north, in the province of Taranaki. The history of the present difticulty may be briefiy stated as follows :—‘’Aft.r the last war with the Maoris a large tract of very valuable land in the province of Taranaki, known as the Waimate Plains, which belonged to the hostile natives, was confiscated by the Gov- ernment. No steps were taken to occupy it until a few months ago, and the Maoris having been allowed to remain in undis- puted pessession for nearly ten years, and having grown into the belief that the confis- cation would never be acted upon. It was not long beforesymptoms of discontent began to manifest themselves among the natives when they found the ground advertised for sale, and the surveyors actively engaged in measuring it off. This discontent was very much increased by a mistaken idea that cer- tain reserves which had been secured to them were to be sold also. Eventually a European, named McLean, belonging to one of the survey parties, was shot by a Maori known as Hiroki, who immediately took refuge at Parihaka, a native village under the protection of a fanatical priest or ‘prophet,’ named Te Whiti. This man isa member ef the Hauhaus, a sect professing a religion consisting of a curious mixture of Christianity, fanaticism, and Maori super- stition. His influence among the natives, who firmly believe in his prophecies, is very large, andthe Government have found in him a very difficult personage to deal with. Not only did Te Whiti refuse to give up the murderer Hiroki, but the latter at a meeting to which the native Minister (Mr. Sheehan) went in order to talk over the dispute with the Maoris, displayed himself openly in a defiant manner, though always taking care to be sur- rounded by a bedyguard of warriors. The Government failing to take any prompt and deeisive action, the Maoris, who like most savage nations, cannot comprehend a policy of forbearance, grew bolder, and be- came more open in their hostility. A mes- sage was sent to the nearest detachment of

them to vacate their posts, and warning all Europeans off the disputed land. Still,how- ever, the Government remained inactive, until the settlers, alarmed at the threaten- ing conduct of the Moaris, who commenced plowing up some of the Eurepean’s land in the neighborheod, insisted on an armed ferce being sent for their protection. Yield- ing to their urgent representations the Government, during the last week or two, have been sending detachments of armed constabulary to the threatened district, together with a plentiful supply of arms, ammunition, and equipments ; and, in order to be prepared for all contin- gencies, have ordered a large supply of war- like stores frem home. Simultaneous]

y Tre- ports reached wee of attempts — made to supply the is with arms,

later the sane correspondent writes :—‘‘l

; Wheat promises an abundant! learns by telegraph that the settlers have yield ; potatoes never looked better, and |

precipitated matters by forcibly ejecting native ploughmen. It is feared that hostil- ities are imminent. Large reinforcements have been sent to the disturbed districts. Ministers are doing their best to prevent Shou'd war occur, severe fight- The settlers seem to have resolved to settle the native difti- culty at once and for ever.”

Hay for England.

The Montreal Gazette tells us that in con- sequence of the failure of the British hay crop, an export demand has set in for Can- ada hay, and the Allan ship Ardmillan, which cleared for Glasgow on Saturday, takes out a part cargo of pressed hay pur- chased in the Montreal market. It is in Monfreal that our large surplvs hay crop will find a profitable outlet to the markets of Great Britain this year.

The Bishop of Colombo has just lost $450,000 in a coffee speculation. He is yet well grounded in the faith.

Great Britain has eighty societies for the conversion of the Jews, and the cost of con- verting each Jew averages about $1000.

The Archduchess Christine of Austria, who is to become Queen of Spain, is twenty one years of age—one year younger than King Alphonso.

A prominent Southern politician, fainiliar with Mississippi affairs, said he thought that there was little doubt of the return of Jefferson Davis to the U. 8S. Senate.

Sunday laws are not strictly administered at Eureka, Nev. A week ago Sunday there was a base ball watch, a pigeon-shooting mateh, and a foot race for $500 a side.

Five yachts, with twenty people aboard, left Plymouth, Mass., on Sunday or Mon- day morning, and no traces of them can be found along the coast. Grave apprehen- sions exist.

Dixon, the independent candidate for Sheriff of Yazoo County, Miss., has been shot down by Barksdale the Democratic candidate for County Clerk. Although the shooting was the result of a bitter personal feud, the affair is likely to influence voters unfavorably to the Democratic party in the North. Barksdale was immediately arrest- ed, but was released on $15,000 bail.

Paul Boyton and Captain Webb are to have a swimming match, and James Gor- don Bennett has promised to give the winner $1,000. Two peor sewing girls in New York the other day had a shirt-making natch at twelve cents per shirt. The win- ner completed four shirts in sixteen hours, but we believe no one gave her $1,000.—- Norristown Heruld.,

Twenty-one new cases were reported in Memphis en Thursday; two additional deaths. The citizens are protesting against the regulation forbidding them to be out after 6 p. m. ‘The residents of Chelsea suburb prevent the authorities from isolat- ing the locality and the guard has been withdrawn. ‘The Howard Assuciation have expended all their funds in relief —$20,000 —their expenses being now $1,000 per day.

Txat low telegraphic and postalj rates operate rather to increase the receipts from these services than otherwise, is generally admitted. Last year the French Govern- ment made a large reduction in®postal rates and telegraphic charges. An inquiry was made in the French Chamber as to how the reduction had affected the revenues. In reply to M. Haentjens, the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs stated that the re- forms intreduced into the postal service had been expected to result in a deficit of 18,- 000,000t for the first year, 12,000,000f for the second, and 6,000,000f for the third, in the revenue derived from these services. A similar calculation has been made in the case of the telegraph service, and a loss of 1,250,000 f had been expected. The change in the telegraph traiff to a pro-word system had produced an increase of 61 per cent. in the number of telegrams sent. As regarded the financial result of the postal reform, the deficiency of yield has been only 9,000,000f instead of 18,000,000.
