This is one of the cases where mar riage was not a failure. A bachelor would have lost his all.

Tue Herp Musr pe Kitviep.--A_ short time ago the Maine cattle commissioners were called to Kennebunk to examine a Here- ford cow of Mr. Lord’s in which symptoms of tuberculosis had been noticed.

Women as Ruters.—Oskaloosa, Kansas, recently chose a woman for mayor and five women for the council, thus placing the entire municipal administration in the hands of women. The mayor's inaugural indicated very plainly that every law in the Kansas statutes and the Oskaloosa ordinances will be strictly enforced, especially the Sunday law. All stores, barber shops, restaurants, livery stables, etc., have to close Saturday night and remain so till Monday morning, a iond popular outery to the contrary notwithstand-

A Narrow Escare.—The wife and family of Mr. James Macleod (of Macleod & Macken- zie), who resides on Fitzroy street, near Prine e, had a narrow escape from death by suffocation yesterday morning. Before retir- ing on Saturday night Mr. Macleod filled the hall stove with coal and attended to the ar- rangement of the dampers, etc., as usual. During the night, however, the gas, in some unaccountable manner, be yan to escape filling the house with a heavy, sickening vapour. About seven o'clock on Sunday morning Mrs. Macleod awoke feeling almost suffoc: ated. She roused herself with great difficulty and called Mr. Macleod, (who, strange to say, was not affected in the least) Mr. Mac leod at once suspected what was the matter and set about ascertaining how many members of the house- hold were atfected by the gas. He found that not one (himself excepted) had escaped; s ne of the younger ile dren being insensible. He, as quickly as possible , dispatched a messenger for Dr. Taylor, who, on arrival, did all he

Feb. 2. There is great joy here over Bismarck’s pacitic reply to the American remonstrance anent the situation in Samoa. Count Arco Valley, under instructions from the Prince Chancellor, has sent the following to Secre- tary Bayard: ‘‘ As a state of war was de- clared against-Mataafa, the commander of | the German squadron issued a proclamation by which the foreigners established in Samoa were subjected to martial law.

The appointment is creating agitation in British diplomatic circles as a departure from the | rule of succession in appointments accord- | ing to rank in the service.
