Belgium Wanting Our Cattle.

The Montreal Gazette of Wednesday states that Mr. Jules Bernard, who recently arrived in Montreal from France, is trying to engage vessel-room for cattle from that city to Antwerp, and if he succeeds will ship at once 500 head. Our fat steers and heifers are well known and liked in the Belgian markets through being re-shipped there from Great Britain, and Mr. Bernard now intends to import them direct from Canada, providing he can make satisfactory arrangements for their transportation.

RELIGION AND Porripes.--When we made an excursion to Southern Utah not long ago, writes a recent tourist, we were hospitably entertained by the Mermon bishop at Rich- field. He was a Scotchman and had been brought up by a rigid Presbyterian. ‘‘Ah well.” said he, ‘‘they’ll think ill of me at home for changing my religion ; but there is my brother Aleck, who took it most to heart. He was en his way last year to California,and turned off the road a bit to see, and try and bring me back into the fold. When he got there he spent the whole evening lecturing me, and then went to bed. In the morning I gave him the best breakfast the country would af- ford—coffee and rolls, trout beet and venison steak, and sucii like. Poor Aleck ! he looked all over the table, and turned upon me his sorrowful face, blurting out, “Oh, Jamie, mon! Jamie mon! did] ever think it would come to this? [ could hae forgien ye a’ yer poleegamy, but hae you gien up yeur parritch.

Bay or Fuxoy Naviearton.--The Wind- sor Mail says: —‘“The sea-faring men report the arrangements for navigating the Bay at night very satisfactory. ‘The Isle of Haut light can be seen down the bay to St. John, and from one position in the Bay five lights can be seen in different directions. The fog horns, in foggy weather, have also been up to the mark during the summer. We make these announcements, as heretofore we have had cause to report unfavorable in connection with fog horns and light houses, and we take the greater pleasure in adding the testimony of the sea-faring community to their efficiency during the present season.

Dea. WINN suggests the following method for obtaining sleep: Roll the eyeball as far as can be done without pain, either upward and downward, or outward and inward, and e¢on- tinue doing so slowly backward and forward, preserving the direction first selected, until sleep ensues, w hich will usually occur in three or, at most, five minutes. This result is not produced by a simple diversion of thought, as in many other methods, but rather by an ab- solute suspension of it, as any one may ascer-

tain by making an effort to think upon any

subject while rolling theeyes in the above man- mer. Some caution should be exercised in

Cabul and the Cabulees.

Cabul is enclosed on the south and west by rocky hills of considerable altitude. There are walls round the city, but those are in the most dilapidated condition. The defences of Cabul are contained and summed up in the capacity of Bala Hissar to resist attack ; and that is very meagre ,indeed. The founding of the Bala Hissar is attributed to Baber, but his successors | added greatly to what he commence. So late as the reign of Aurungzebe, extensive vaults were constructed under it in which that monarch intended placing his treasure. These are yet to be seen, Situated on the gastern extremity of the town, and on the summit of a hill, the Bala Hissar, with its great walls and lofty buildings, is a censpicuous object enough; and it commands the town as completely as tho castle dominates Edinburgh. The Bala Hissar is divided into two portions, a citidal within a fortress. The former 1s small and could only “hold a limited number of men. {t is prebably here that Yakoob Khan has_ taken refuge. The main portion of the fortress is large and commodious and could hold 5,000 men. Despite, however, its imposing appearance, and its elevation above the town—it stands 150 feet above the plains—the Bala Hissar is in too dilapi- dated a state to be held for any length of time against an English army. The only occasion on which the Bala Hissar has undergone an assault in modern times was when Dost Mahomed besieged it fifty years ago, and captured it by blowing up one of the towers. In fact, the Bala Hissar has been always held as a royal palace, be- cause it was a place sufficiently strong to resist the seditious risings on the part of the populace, and because it afferded a place of security against any sudden outburst of re- bellion. It was also very convenient as a prison-house for rivals or refractory vassals. But as a fortress against the attack of dis- ciplined troops, the Bala Hissar 1s prac- tically incapable. of defence. It will probably surrender to us without any at- tempt being made to defend it. The Af- ghans, as they have always done before, both in their wars with.us and among them- selves, will evacuate it on the approach of an English army. The Cabul river 1s crossed by three or four bridges, and one of these isin the heart of the Kizilbash quarter of the city. The Kizilbashes are of Persian descent. They are supposed to have settled in Cabul in the time of Nadir, although some recerds date their residence further back. They occupy a quarter of the town separated from the rest of the city, and have always been considered an industrious portion of the community, We had many friends among them during the old occupation, and the house which Sir Alexander Burnes occupied was situated close to their quarter. At one time they used to form the body-guard of the kings, but the Barakzais have cur- tailed their privileges. There is also a large Hindoe element in the population, but the most numerous and mest aggressive is that of the Afghan nationality, who are termed Cabulees. Cabul is, after Bekhara, prob- ably, the city in Asia where the fanatical zeal of the Mussulmans runs highest. The Mollahs are a numerous and all-pewerful class, and dervishes are met with in great numbers. Cabul is, therefore, a true metropolis. In its bazaars are to be seen the numerous tribes of northern’ Afghan- istan, as well as travellers and mer- chants from Turkestan, Bokhara, Khiva, Cashmere, and India. It has flour- ished on the trade which has been brought to it by these numerous wayfarers. But, singular as it may appear, those cosmopolitan advantages have by no means mollified the natural character of its inhabitants. They are still, as they have ever been, the turbulent Cabulees. Itisa matter for regret that the future of a spot so favored in every way-as this city should have been placed in danger by the fury of its mob, and that the barbarous act which has just sullied for a second time its streets, should quite possibly entail upon it the loss of those privileges which it has only possessed for the purpose of abusing them. The greatest punishment that could be inflicted on the Cabulees would be to remove the capital of the State back to the eld Durani city of Candahar.

Trade in Montreal.

The Montreal Gazette says : The evidenc- es of a genuine revival of business are no longer wanting, the volume of trade having materially expanded during the past few weeks. Our wholesale grocers report the healthiest trade they have experienced for several years past, at very satisfactory prices. Leather merchants, boot and shoe manufacturers, and dealers in hats, caps and furs, also mention a marked improve- ment in the demand for their goods. Large quantities of dairy produce have changed hands, causing currency to flew pretty freely into the country districts, there to be absorbed by the country merchants, and in turn remitted to the cities. A great many buyers from the West are now stay- ing in the city, having availed themselves

AN erudite German who has been investi-)} gating the subject of longevity in Europe has compiled some interesting vital statistics from which it appears that Greece leads the world in the number of very aged people in proportion to the population. Out of a total population of 1,457,894 ,there are 1,398 of 90 years of age and upwards. Of persons up- wards or seventy the proportion is not so high as compared with otherfcountries. The ratio of septuagenarians to the total population is 5.5, whilein France it is at 11.5, and in Eng- laud 8.6. England stands next to Greece in the proportion of nonogenarians. Roughly a the number in all the States of

The Kidnapping Case.

The Deal brothers, whe kidnapped Mr. Jatiray of Toronto and, it is believed, tried to capture Senator Brown, are on trial at Toronto. Asthere is no doubt as to thei> guilt, itis to be hoped that their punisument will be severe enough to deter others from following their bad example. At present that example appears to be con- tagious. On Tuesday last, a scape grace named Schuyler at Little Falls, near Buf- falo, N. Y., commenced the business. He inveigled from school the daughter of a respectable citizen, on a pretended mes- sage from her father said to have fallen sick, locked her up in a room, terrified her into copying a letter addressed to her father asking for $500 to secure her release. She was finally liberated on swearing secrecy and promising to raise the required sum. |

But she speedily revealed the facts. The kidnapper was promptly arrested. On him was found a letter addressed to the father of the girl, demanding $5009 for the ransom of his little boy, declared to be in enstody and menaced with death ; as also a list of wealthy parent’s children deemed eligible subjects for capture and ransom. The brigand occupied the position of tele- graph operator in the town. On being searched he made a clean breast of it.

Blood Transfusing.

REMARKABLE KXPERIMENT WITH MILK AS A SUBSTITUTE,

As long ago as 1859, in a story entitled the ‘‘Lifted Veil,” George Eliot tells of a wicked woman whose agency in a mysteri- ous murder was exposed by transfusing blood into the heart of the just deceased victim, who revives for a few minutes under the experiment and denounces the murder- er. A simple way of effecting this purpose has been revealed by some recent experi- ments of Prof. Thomas, of New jYork, whose observations on the intravenous in- jections of milk have attracted the general attention of the medical profession. In one of Prof. Thomas’ cases the patient was moribund when the first injection of warm milk into her veins was made, and the unanimous ‘opinion of the assembled physicians was that death was inevitable. Life was prolonged six days by means of five injections, varying in quantity from 8 to 15 ounces. From this and other cases, Dr. Thomas concludes that the injection ef milk into the circulation in place of blood is a perfectly safe and feasible operation, easier to perform than transfusion of blood, and of equal ecfhiency in cases of exhaus- tion from profuse and repeated hemorr- hages. These experiments are in curious agreement with those of Dr. Wolfsberry, perfurmed en rabbits and dogs in the laboratory of Prof. Marme, at Gottingen. After bleeding the animals until all movements of respiration and circula- tion had ceased, Dr. Wolfsburg injected milk into their veins. The operation was instantaneously followed by rythmical con- tractions of the heart, and finally by re- establishment of respiratory movements, and what is more singular still, upon their cessation, after the stimulant had spent its force, life movements were excited again by repeating the injection. Some of the moribund dogs even barked under the in- fluence of the milk. The microscope re- lations of this subject weuld be of no in- terest to the general reader, but the fact that life movements, whether by excitation of the nervous centres or by direct irrita- tion of the heart, can be restored after they have ceased, in a manner at once so simple and so rapidly applied, is of the utmost practical impertance. .
