—-There seems to be something rotten in the Civic management of New York! City. The New York World says that} Comptroller Grant discovered in an ex-| amivation of the bureau of city revenue | and markets that the encrmous sum oi! $609 000 is unpaid or unaccounted for, | much of this being for rents from cor-| porations and others for city property. | The Sun reports that the city library in | the City Hall is in a shocking condition. | Rare books half ruined and everything | is in disorder. It says the city librariaxs are hack politicians’ The Citizens Com- | mittee are investigating these matters, | aud have decided, for the forthcoming | Civie Elections, to devote their energies | to secure the election of honest men for | Aldermen.
—Mr. Dewar, one of the firm who built the Hospital for the Insane on this Island, has established a high character as a contractor away out in Winnipeg. A Winnipeg paper has a review of his eareer from which we clip the fallowing: | **His first contract was that for the erec- | tion of Selkirk hall, for St. Andrew's | church, of which Rev. C. B. Pitblado is pastor. It may also be noted that the architect for this building was W. C. Harris (brother of the artisi so well known in eastern Canada) who had only | just arrived from Halifax. The contract! price was about $20,000. The work of| both architect and buiider gave every satisfaction, and at once gave them a reputation wk‘ech has been steadily in- creasing ever since.”’ '
—Is it not. strange, that after pub- lishing to the world, in largest type, that Sir John Macdonald was unseated for bribery in his Lennox Election, the Grit papers have with a singular unani- mity refrained from touching on that part of the evidence convicting Grit agents of the very same offence. lu their indignant and honest condemnation of the Premier, they seem to lose sight of the fact, that four witnesses sworn, they had been bribed to vote for the Grit ticket, and’ that one stated he had received $8 to} make au affidavit, to the effect that Mr. Roe, a Conservative agent, had bribed him. Sir John Macdonald, on the other hand, was told by the judge that, though the election was voided, his conduct was so clear of imputation of impropriety that a statement by himself on his own behalf was altogether unuecessary.
—A prominent St. John Physician sent to the St. John Telegraph the following in reference to the treatment of diph- theria: Observing the frequency and fatality of diphtheria, I would suggest the following remedy, that I have now used in Mine consecutive cases, with uniform good results. The remedy can be kept in every house, and, io suitable doses, can be given to children of any age without injury. I might say that, in connexion with this medicine, I have always used a cold water pad around the throat from ear to ear. In the cases mentioned above no gargle or topical application was used:—Solution of Chieriae; Liquor Chlori or Chlorine Water, are the names itis known by at the druggists. ‘The dose is from ten to twenty drops in sweetened water, every two, three or four hours.
—An Englishman who desires to sue- | ceed Marwood, the deceased hangman, | has iuvvented a method of execution which he thiuks eutiiles him to the posi- tiov. It consists of arope of the ordin- ary half-inch white hemp, passed double through a brass clamy, forming a loop which can be adjusted to the exact thick-
ness of the neck of the criminal. Immediately before the clamp is fitted a brass crescent measuring
nine inches from tip to tip, and pro- jecting eight inches from the rope. This brass crescent is 89 adjusted as to! tie onthe shoulder of the condemned, | while the double rope is looped on one! side so as to allow a drop of from two to four feet. The principle of the in vention is that the moment the criminal | is swung off the crescent presses against the side of the head while the rope pulls

the neck sharply in the opposite direc-
questions the past attests the desire of Spain to approach England and America with friendly feelings, if we meet with a disposition to grant fair concessions to our wise and colonial produce. Of| France we express the same cordial that will dictate our attitude, the difference between the two vations is settled.

Sir Charles Tupper has left for Paris, where he will represent Canada at the con- ference relative to submarine cables.
The Sun's London special says:—The Parnellite leaders already show signs of a change of front in Ulster. Their game of crushing the Whigs with the assistance of the Tories, is transformed into the policy of crushing the Tories by an alliance with the Whigs.
Another horrible agrarian outrage is re- poried from Ireland. Three men armed with knives were arrested near Kil. larney for attacking a boycotted farmer named John Dineen. The crime was per- petrated between the town of Milistreet and Macroon, and so savage was the assault that the victim was completely dis- embowelled and otherwise mutilated, almost beyond recognition. When the would-be murderers were caught they still had the bloody knives with which they had done their work in their possession. Dineen is dying.
Advices received atthe Admiralty state that the natives of the Amboina Island, in Malay Archipelago, recently became troublesome and insolent to the officers and crews of British vessels calling at the chief port in the Island. The British man-of- war Dart sent on shorea strong party of marines and seamen to chastise the natives fer their conduct. The natives at first offered a stubbern resistance, but were put to flight after a short fight, in which an officer and several seamen were wounded, and one seaman killed. Many of the natives were killed, and a large number wounded.
The Times’ London special says:—The Queen will provide a large dewry for her grand-daughter, Princess Victoria of Hesse, who is about to marry Prince Louis of
Battenburg, who has no fortune. She wiil give them rooms at Kensington. She has
also appointed Prince Louis captain of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, which position will be sinecure. The Radice] members will protest in Parliament against the appointment, as a scandalous waste of money. There will be a general gathering of the royal family in London next week to bid good-bye to the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who are going to Meerut.
