It is understood that Lord Lyons, British ambassabor at Paris, has urged Prime Minister Ferry to withdraw the bill relat- ing to the transportation of confirmed criminals to penal colonies.

The trial of the suspected dynamiters, ‘John Daly and Jas. Egan, was continued ‘on the 3ist ult. at Warwick. The same | precautions were taken to guard the court. ‘Col. Meyendie. chief inspector of explosives ‘testified that Daly had in his possession ‘when arrested six bottles of sulpheric acid ‘and four dynamite bombs, which only required the insertion of the sulpheric acid to produce an explosion. He knew of no purpose, scientilic or practical, for such _bombs, except to take life.

| Of the London (Ct.) girl who has become ‘insane from the religious excitement at- tending the meetings of the Salvation Army, the ‘‘Day” says ‘Several times | daily she works herself into a frenzy of re- ligious mania, screaming and gesticulating, ‘with a wildness that strikes terror to the hearts of her attendants. Some of the Sal vation Army people have visited the girl in her affliction, but their well meant lefforts at consolation had a directly con- trary effect, the girl going inte a spasmodic fit whenever one of them called.”

| There is a great dearth of female teachers

for the public schools of London now, and the number of vacancies is increasing. | There are no applications before the au. | thorities for the vacant places. The reason 'given is that the unnecessary severity of the ‘preliminary examinations is frightening women away from this field of labor, even in a city where it is so difficult for women to earn a decent livelihood as London. Very few female aspirants for teachership | yh passed any of the recent examina- tions. As a remedy for this state of things the Government is being urged to lower the standard of the examinations.

' Spain now has an annual yield of about | 40,500,000 gallons of wine, which places |her in the fourth rank among Wine growing countries, being surpassed only by France, Italy and Austria Hungary. She has a large export trade with France, but it is not true that she has developed this wholly or chiefly by the prevalence of phyiloxera in the French vineyards, for in 1875, when the phyiloxera had done comparatively little harm, she exported wines to the |amount of 151,000,0C0f. ,or one-third of her total exports, a proportion which was scarcely exceeded in 1879.

Dusveus, Iowa, July 27.—The news of a queer specimen of the female sex in the woods near Gordon’s Ferry, a place about twelve miles north of here, reached Dabuque this morning, When first dis- covered by hunters she was standing like a ‘statue in a clear space with her back toward

Karly in the past month Mr. Gladstone’s career as Prime Minister has covered 9 years, 146 days, which was the length of Lord Palmerston’s career in the same ottice. Two statesmen only during the last 100 years have governed the English people for a longer period than this. “One of these was Walliam Pitt, who held the office for 18 years and 10 months; the vther was Lord Liverpool, whose period was 14 years and 10 months.

A re-union of members of the Royal families will be held at Copenhagen this month. The Czar and Czariuza of Russia, Prince and Princess of Wales, King and Queen of Greece, and Duke and Dachess of Cumberland are expected to be present at the re-union. Efforts are being made to induce the Duke of Cumberland to resign hie claim to the throne of Hanover, and accept the terms offered by Emperor Wilnam,

They used to tell great stories on the steamboats about the size of the mosqui- toes and gallinippers up some of the inlets and bayous on the Mississippi, about their sitting on the logs and picking their teeth with fence nails, etc. There is a story told of a negro who made the bet with the crowd that he could lie on his face and let the mosquitoes bite him for half an hour. He was getting along pretty well, and the crowd got uneasy for fear he would get through all right and win the stakes, and unknown to him they got a coal of fire and laid it on his bare back. The poor fellow leaped into the air with a yell, exclaiming : “Q Lord! I forgot to bar dem gallinip- pers |”

During a dense fog off White Fish Point Upper Lakes, on Sunday night, the Can- adian Pacific steamer Alberta was running at one-third speed, sounding her whist!e. fhe struck the steam barge Osborne near the stern. The Osborne soon filled with water and sank, two of her buats going down with her. While seeking to save the foreman of the Osborne, a Toronto pas- senger on Alberta, named Dan Moore, was drowned. Five lives at least were lost on the Osborne, and possibly more, as the re- turns are meagre. The Alberta had four plates and seven ribs in her bow broken by the collision. Her passengers were taken to Sault Ste. Marie, and transferred to an- other vessel bound to Port Arthur,

A festive old Civil servant temporarily employed in the Interior Department, whose name is thoroughly Hibernian, is at present enjoying himself to his heart's con- tent travelling through Western Canada, in ‘compasy with an opulent widow from Cali- |fornia, who is his junior by ten or fifteen 'years.
