Notes and Comments.

—The manufacture of cotton goods in

Ceylon has for the last few years made con-

siderable progress. The island promises to

become as dangerous a rival to India in that industry as in the cultivation of tea.

—The new Croton Aqueduct, New York, was opened on the 16th July, and water from the Croton Lake, after running 30 miles, was admitted to the reservoir in Central Park. The opening of the new aqueduct is the cause of much rejoicing among the people. The supply of pure water will be much more abundant than it has been for ten years past.

— English syndicates have their draw- backs. The Rev. Camille Iseult, French missionary returned from Chili, says that the people in Chili generally are satisfied with the present government, but there is much complaint at the enormous revenue which that country pays to Great Britain, He says the English own all the railroads, the mercantile navy, the gold and saltpetre mines, and guano beds, and hold mortgages on most of the big landed estates of the country and are a burden to the people well nigh unbearable.

—A question of some concern to the of domestic life has been judically

peace pronounced upon in Glasgow. A husband took legal steps to prevent @ certain In-

dividual from entering his house. The person pleaded that he had the wife's per- mission to come, and the magistrate was asked to decide whether t override the husband's authority in such a case. The magistrate decided that she could not. In his opinion when a woman marries “‘ she promises to obey her hus- band. Lf, therefore, she gives a permission which he forbids, she is breaking the con- tract of her marriage, and the permission she gives is null; and any one acting on such invalid permission, in the knowledge that it is in defiance of the husband's pro- hibition, is doing an illegal act.”

-A woman charged with being ‘‘a com- mon and turbulent brawler and sower of discord among her quiet and honest neigh- bors, so that she has become a public nuis-

Our Lady the Queen, her crown and dig- d nity, to the common nuisance of divers of | P

Windsor Mills still leads in the league shooting, with the 54th Sherbrooke second and the 13th Hamilton third. The score made by the Sherbrooke team in the last competition was wonderful; it is a greater average shoot than that of this year's English Kolapore eight at Bisley with Martinis.

Against the Czar.

Paris, Aug. 4. | The Siccle and Figaro print reports of a | fresh Nihilist plot against the Czar that has been discovered in St. Petersburg. Accord- ing to these reports, Professor Corleowski, of the University of St. Petersburg, and a number of students of that institu-| tion who, it is claimed, were con-| cerned in the plot, have been arrested, | and many persons have been taken into | custody in Moscow on the same charge.

Two officers of high rank in the Russian | army have committed suicide. It is sup- | posed that they were found to have been | implicated in the conspiracy against the} Czar, and took their lives rather than un- | dergo arrest and the punishment which was | sure to follow.
