eile A wan named Henry Jenkins was suffo- cated to desth in St. Johnon the 11th inst., by a tumor in his throat, while seeking ad- mission tothe City Hospital. In the post mortem 2xamination Dr. Allison stated he found Jenkins’ lungs and the veins in the upper part of the neck considerably con- gested. On examining the wind pipe he found vascular tumor at the top of it, ob- structing the orifice by which the air passes tothe lungs. The other appearences of the body were healthy. The tumor was situat- ed where it would cause death, whenever a rush of blood to the tumor would distend it so far aa to obstruct the wind pipe. That was the cause of Jenkins’ death. [The up per portion of the deceased’s wind pipe was prodaced and inspected. The tumor in its normal state was almost large enough to atop up the air passage, and when swelled up by blood would no doubt stop up the wind pipe like a cork in a bottle. | conieiaiennl _ Tue weather on the Atlantic ocean dur- ing the month of January, according to the Hydographic Office, Washington, was generally stormy north of latitude 30 deg. Eight well defined cyclonic disturbances passed off the North American coast on to the North Atlantic and were felt on the transatlantic steamer routes as strong gales from south-west to north-west. For February, according to the last north Atlantic chart, the storm area extends over the north Atlantic and south to a line from Cape Finisterre to the Azores and Bermu-

da. Within these limita a gale may be ex- pected on an average of once in eight days. inthe steamer routes the greater

number of gales will blow between south- west and north-west. Northers may be ex- pected in the western part of the Gulf of Mexico. Icebergs and tield ice may be en- countered south and east of the banks of Newfoundland to latitude 42 deg. north and longitude 42 deg. west. ilaiieiaal

Tue Herald strives to make its readers believe that Tue Examiner is as deep in the mud as the Herald is in the mire. Granted that we appropriated Dr. Cotte’s pen and ink aketch of El Mahdi without credit, that is not a valid excuse for its appropriation (as its own) of matter ob- tained and prepared by ‘THe EXaMINER’s reporter. But the Ilerald’s readers will be surprised to learn that Tue EXAMINER gave Dr. Cotte full credit in small capital letters for his sketch of E! Mahdi, and thus showed distinctly that it was not the work of any- one on THe Examiner staff. Had the Herald indicated in the same way, or in any way, that the report of Mr. Fraser's state- meut was the work representative of Tue FPXaMINeR, and not of one of its own

rom the Catholic World, we have simply to say thet Tag Exsmiver did not get it from that paper We ought to have no doubt that the next Herald will contain an apology to Tue Examiner, and a full ex- planation of the facts in this matter ; for if it doe 8 not, the clear inference is that it deliberately persists in the defamation of a Contemporary newspaper

He who is firm in will molds the world to himself ; he who is not is the world’s slave.

We may be as good as we please it we please to be good, or as bad as we like if we like to be bad.

The most important lesson of morality is this: Never do any injury to any one, particularly to number one.

Idleness is the most corrupting fly that can grow on the human mind. Men learn to do ill by deing what is next to it—no- thing.

Hard words are lik» hailstones in sum- mer, beating down and destroying what they would nourish were they melted into drops.

The best advertisement of a workshop is first-class work. The strongest attraction to Christianity is a well character.

An old man repents of that of which a young man boasts, but it isa question if he were ‘* young again” he would not have to repent again.

Religion can be no more learnt out oi books than seamanship, or soldiership, or engineering, or painting, or any practical trade whatsoever.

Men too often judge the person rather than the cause, which is not justice, but malice; and forget that such eggs hatch chickens that ‘‘come home to roost,”

The charities that soothe and warm and bless, lio scattered at the feet of men like flowers, whose perfume makes a paradise of earth, and sheds fragrance over earth’s afflictions,

To divert at any time a troublesome fancy, run to thy books. They presently fix thee to drive them, and drive the other out of thy thoughts. They always receive thee with the same kindness.

Converts who boast of their stability are not always the most stable. Water con- verted to ice may possess the hnes of the rainbow and sparkle with glory, but it only endures till it resolves again into water.

What is called ill-natare and want of generosity, is very often nothing more than a quick eye for the injustice and unreason- ableness of others, and a determination not to gratify it; not the desire to save one’s own money or irouble.

Among the Egyptians the cat was held sacred to Isis, or the moon, and worshipped with great ceremony. In the mythology of all the Indo-Europeans nations the cat holds a prominent place, aud its connection with witches is well known.

Ata meeting of the Academy of Sciences, Stockholm, Prof. Lundstram exhibited a fossi! scorpion recently found near Wisby, in the Silurian formation of Gotland, and remarkable as the most ancient of au air- breathing animal at present discovered.

The floating gardens at Kashmere, in Eastern Asia, seem to be one of the won- ders cf the world. They cover an expanse of water about nine miles in circumference, and on a sub-soil of grasses and aquatic playts they grow melons and cucumbers, and a crop raised of great value.

Although jute has now assumed import- ance asan article of commerce, the first attempts to utilize its fibre were not made in Europe until 1884-5, and it was only when the Crimean war deprived England of Russian flax and hemp that jute fibre became highiy valued. The centre of the

trade in Great Britain is Dundee. Of late years Germany has gone largely into it.

Forty years ago, aman in Emanuel Co. Ga., sold his wife for a jug of whiskey. Several days later he was presented with the wife of a man who had grown tired of

her. The woman first mentioned was after- wardtraded for a bushel of corn. All hands then settled down in the same

neighborhood, and have lived there ever since. ‘Their descendants are among the most respected people of that county.

Some of the researches lately made by English explorers in regard to deep sea beds have ted to the belief that there are no rough ridges, abrupt chasms, nor bare rocks, and that the sea bottom at great depths is not affected by currents or streams—even those of the magnitude of the Gulf Stream—its general appearance rather resembling that of the American prairies, and it is everywhere covered by a kind of mud.

Electric towers are now being found fault with by vessel captains who complain that the reflection of the lights is so great on the river that they ave blinded by it and can- not see the lights of vessels moving about the harbor. This, too, is especially so on hazy nights. Some captains say they have barely escaped collisions by not being able to discover the lights on passing vessels. Other captains claim that the electrics troubled them in discerning the lighthouses in the mouth of the river,

It is said that the latest wrinkle in Spain is to have women buil-fighters, instead of men. It must bea noble sight to see one of those dark-eyed females in the ring facing a mad bull, but how different would be the scene if one of our American girls should attempt it. The sight would bring tears to eyes that never wept before. If any one has ever seen an American girl climb a rail fence at sight of a cow in an adjoining field they can form some idea of what she would do if brought face to face with a mad bull. No wall would be too high for her to climb, and you can gamble on it that she wouldn’t let avy grass grow under her feet while getting into the next county. Of course, there are some girls, like Lulu Hurst, for instance, who would take a bull by the tail and toss him over the fence, but the majority of them would want to go home to their ma.— Peck’s Sun
