A Ghmpse of the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is an old and decrepit salt lake in a very advanced stage of evapora- tion. It lies several feet below the level of the Mediierranean, just as the Caspian lies several feet below the level of the Black} Sea; and as in both cases the surface must | once have been continuous, it is clear that, the water of either sheet must have dried ; up to a considerable extent. But while the Caspian has shrunk only to eighty-five feet | belew the Black Sea, the Dead Sea has) shrunk to the enormous depth of 1,292 feet, below the Mediterranean. Every now and) then some enterprising De Leeseps or other proposes to dig a canal from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea, and so re-establish the old high level. The effect of this very revolutionary pro- ceeding would be to find the «ntive Jordan valley, connect the Sea of Galilee with the Deed Sea, and play the dickens generally with Scripture geography, to tke infinite delight of Sunday Schou! classes. Now, when the Dead Sea first began its inde- pendent career as 2 separate sheet of water on its own account, it no doubt occupied the whole bed of this imaginary engineer’s lake—epreading, if not from Dan to Beer- sheba, at any rate from Dan to Edem, or, in other words, along the whole Jorden valley, from the sea of Galilee and even tee waters of Merom to the southern deeert. (I will not insult the reader's intelligence and orthodoxy by suggesting that perhaps he may not be precisely certain as to the exact position of the waters of Merom; but I will merely recommend him just to refresh his memory by turning to his atlas, as this is an opportunity which may rot again occur.) The modern Dead Sea is the last shrunken relic of such a _ considerable ancient lake. Its waters are now 80 very concentrated and so nasty that no fish or other self-respecting animal can consent to live in them, and so buoyant that a man can’t drown himself, even if he tries, be- cause the sea is saturated with salts of various sorts till it hes become a kind of soup or porridge, in which a swimmer floats, will he nil hse. Persons in the neighborhood who wish to commit euicide are therefore obliged to goelsewhere—much

as in Tasmania, the healthiest climate in|:

the world, psople who want to die are ob- liged to run across for a week to Sydney or Melbourne.—Cornhill Magazine.

Editor Stead’s Peculiar Position.

The charge is brought against Editor Stead, of the Pall Mall Gazette, that in the course of his investigaticn into the depra- vity existing in London, he conspired with soldiers of the Salvation Army and others to abduct an innocent girl, in order to illus- trate, for bis own satisfaction and the satisfaction of others, how easily it could be done. In other words, he made an ex- periment which involved the stealing of a child, her submission to improper treat- ment, the anxiety of her parents, and a very serious violation of the law. The child, however, was not criminally assault- ed. The experimenters, it is claimed, simply went far enough to prove that with the aid of a procvress the abduction and ruin of a young girl was made not only possible but easy of accomplishment. Upon this charge Mr. Stead has been arrested, and the probabilities are that he will be prosecuted,

Doubtless Mr. Stead and his associates went too far in this matter and yet the re- sults which they were desirous of obtaining will justify them. It had been asserted that the stories published in the Pall Mall Gazette were absurd; that children could not be so easily dragged from their homes and ruined, and that young girls were not subjected to so many perils as claimed by the agitators who backed up the newspapers course. To prove that his position was right Mr. Stead made the experiment men- tioned, and his enemies are now determined to make the most of it.

He bas hit so many persons in high official life, he has dragged before the pub- lic the vices of so many men of alleged re- spectability, he has broken up 80 many haunts of vice patronized by the ‘‘first

gentlemen of London society” that this chanee to ‘‘get even’ with him will not be

that officer given the command of the de- tachment left to cioss after the main body of the army had crossed the river to the at- tack on Queenstown Heights. Stafford successfully performed the duties intrusted to his charge, and landed his men without loss, but on ascending the heights was at- tacked by a superior body of British and Indianr. The resis‘ance of the Americans was heroic, but they were soon overpower- ed hy the superior nembers of the enemy, and nearly all were either killed or wound- ed. Stafford received two severe wounds, and was taken prisoner. He was scon after exchanged and prometed to be a major, but did not recover sufficiently to take the field until the war was concluded,

CURRENT NOTES.

Lanbech, the German artist, is painting a portrait of Prince Bismarck for Earl Roseberry.

The expulsions from Easiern Prussia are now estimated at 10,000; nearly 9,000 Jews have been expelied.

The papers are poking fun at the Toronto Globe for crediting the authorship of the well known dictionary to Daniel Webster.

Prince Von Hohenlohe,the new governor of Alsace-Lorraine, intends to rule with greater stingency over Frenchmen in that province. He is supported in this policy by Emperor William and Prince Bismarck.

Mr. Michael Davit:’s recent lecture in Dublin for the benefit of the fund for the support of ex-Head Centre Stephens, netted $850, and Mr, Davitt has handed a checque for that amount to the aged Fenian leader.

Eighteen authenticated new caees of smallpox in Montreal were reported on Saturday last. Bishop Fabre, on Sunday, at the conclusion of his sermon strongly urged the people to submit to vaccination and to avoid visiting houses in which the disease is reported.

There were reported at the Health Office, Montreal, for the week ending on Saturday last, one hundred and three deaths from smallpox. This is six more than for the previous seven days, and shows that the efforte so far put forth have failed utterly to meet the necessities of the case.

Osear Parry, eleven years old, committed suicide at Philadelphia Sunday morning by shooting himself at his home. The boy stood in front of a looking-glass, and guiding his aim by the reflection in the glass shot himself in the head. He had just finished reading a sensational story, and it is believed the story had affected his mind,

An actual caee of mixing babies inextri- cably is reported in Milwaukee. There were two mothers of blue eyed, fair skinned boys in the same house. At the early age ef four days the infanie were carclessly bathed at once. and it was impossible to identify them. The parents are distracted, but they hope that, ina few months, re- semblance may be developed that will settle the question. In the meantime they have agree to keep up a kind of joint hougehold.

A Deadwood, Dakota, despatch of Sun- day says :—The unpleasant weather of the past two weeks culminated in a snowstorm yesterday morning. ‘The outlook for grain is gloomy inthe extreme. Four-fifths of ef the crops are cut and the bulk is lying on the ground, heating and growing. Much that is stacked is being destroyed, even for feed. Practically no threshing has been done yet and it begins to look os though there would be nothing to thresh. Prices have advanced materially and few sales are made at any price. Tho farmers are greatly discouraged.
