Mr. Bendall was disport- ing himself in the briny waves on a fine day in July, when lo, he saw bearing down upon hima huge snaky creature, a hund. red feet long, with savage looking head aud a shaggy mane, and blazing terror- inspiring eyes. As this dreadful creature moved its immense dark brown body, tinged with green and purple, it filled the air-with mournful moans and wide and far diffused its musky’ fi » Incontin- ently the terrified bather fled to the rocky shore, and thetice. surveyed the dreadful apparition, Safely ensconced behind his rocky breatwork, the trembling Bendall saw the awful moster of the deep lash the water into foam, and then plunge into the abyss with an unearthly shriek of probable disappointment at failing to capture the

And when Betsy Prig declared to Mrs. Gamp con» cerning Mrs. Harris, ‘I don’t believe there’s no sich person,” it was as it Betsy had denied the whole system of English legal practice, if not the whole intitution of the empire.

FRIGHTFUL RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

The Turkish Minister of Foreign Aftairs has sent the appended circular to the Dips lomatic agents of the Porte abroad, being

a telegram from Suleiman Pasha, as fols lows :—

The conduct of the Russian army during the 11 days it occupied Eski Saghra shows that their first act on entering the town was to disarm the Mussulman population. The employed the Moldars of the place who, deceived as to the real object of their mission, were ordered to fetch Mussulman out of their houses, and as soon as the lat« ter appeared they were massacred, Eleven hundred Mussulmans were thus put, to death. A telegram from the Karmakour of Lovatz, reports that when the Russians entered that town, fifteen women and chil. dren fleeing from the invaders, were killed by the fire of the enemy’s artillery. Others of these unfortunate prisoners, in order to escape outrage or death, had to abandon everything, even their children. Every Mussulman’s house in Lovatz was piltaged by Cossacks and Bulgarians. After the re- capture of the town by the imperial army the Russians carried devastation and carn; age into the neighboring districts. The Russians and Bulgarians drove out all the Mussulman inhabitants of the village of Henste and burned all the men and some of the women. Seyenty Mussulmans and the Imaum of Yuklem were shut up by the Bulgarians in barns, to which the latter in conjunction with Cossacks, set fire. ‘An English military attache himself witnessed all these horrors. The Russians on enter- ing these parts, disarmed ali the Mussul- mas Of Eski Saghra, Kezanlik and the neighboring villages, and distributed the

arms seized among the Bulgarians. The latter then drove down 400 Mussulmans from Mogblis, in the district of Kezanlik, to the bank of the river Tundja and there massacred them. At Eski Saghra and ita neighborhood, the Bulgarians continue to massacre the Mussulman population.

After a fight with the enemy, Sulieman Pasha entered Hski Saghra. Several can. nons feil into our-hands, The Russians met with considerable losses. The atro« cities committed by the Cossacks and Bul-

When the New Brunswick legislature meets shortly, it is proposed to passa measure regulating the rebuilding of St. John. Toevade its probable provisions, feveriah activity now prevails in the build. ing of wooden siructures in the fire dis: trict. People are getting their buildings up before the proposed law can be enacts ed feeling contident that they will not be compelled to tear them down, ex post facto legislation not being usual. Wooden and brick~cased houses for shops and residen ces are springing up with magical rapidity, and advancing towards completion with « speed rivalling that displayed in the build. ing Of railway cities on the western plains. People will be ‘* penny wise and pound foolish” to the end of time; and rothing but cast-iron “legislation, in such an im- portant matter as protection against fire, will force wisdom on them.

Herbert Blanchard, the Savoy (Mass. ) murder, isa very bad egg. He began by threatening his schoolmaster, married at seyenteen and hammered his girl wife till she got a divorce, was hunted out of Cali. fornia as a thief, enlisted in the Mexican army, and deserted, Jeaving a wife and child, went to France to complitee his crimi~ nal education, and returned to Savoy to do murder and qualify himself for the gal- lows.

News comes from San Francisco of a murder committed there by one Daly on the 7th ult. Daly and another man called Kusanda were stock brokers and partners. A man called Hanks struck Kusanda. Daly espoused the quarrel of the latter. A fight took place, and the parties separated. On a subsequent occasion, and after another battle, Daly approached Hanks with ¢ cane, Tbe latter, supposing it was his intention to flog him, shot his opponent, who died shortly after. A verdict of murs der was returned by the coroner's jury, but Hanks anticipated the result by commit- ing suicide. He left a letter in which was the following sentence: «+The coolest act of my life.
