—_———
An official telegram from the Colonial Office, ' London, states that the design of Mr, Scott, | Vhief Architect for the Canadian Trophy to . be erected in one of the Towers of the Bxhabi. | toa Building at Paris has been approved of
and is much admired. The construction of the Trophy will now be proceeded with. The ‘rame alone will be prepared here, but all the materials for completing it will also be sent. The whole will be shipped from Halifax by the steamer Newficld, The Trophy is formed of wood framework divided into five stages and will reach a height of about 100 feet, the first or lower stage (occupying a square of 900 superficial feet) is planned with a central tower 10 feet square, with arms jutting out at the angles, terminating in octagonal glazed cases formed of walnut and other Canadian woods. These cases will be for the exhibition of small articles of manufacture. Openings on each side of the tower lead to circular staircases.for access to the ‘loors above. The second stage, 16 feet 6 in. from ground, is formed by a gal- oe projecting’ 9 feet from tower. The angles follow lines of octagonal cases below, and have a further projection of two feet. In the cen- tre of each angle gallery will be a small cupola roof. The tower portion will have four tiers of shelving on three sides. The third story has a gallery projecting 4ft. 4 in. from the tower, at a height of 32 ft, 6 in. from the floor, and is supported by ornomental brackets secur- ed to the same. The fourth story will have a similar gallery somewhat smaller, and the last stage is formed by a roof in two heights and panels between with ‘‘ Canada” in large letters on each side, The whole will be surmounted by a flag-pole and flags.

The Bishop of Lincoln, hing at Cam- bridge, said that disestablishment would be
| one of the greatest calamities that could befall}
the English nation. His expericnce of his own diocese led him to believe that its approximate effect. would be to pauperize the priesthood and paganize the people. After the clear voice of the clergy and laity on the burials question, it might be hoped that the whole English Epis- copacy would be with them. This would be an unspeakable blessing.
A girl’s coquetry caused a lamentable trag- edy fn Bradford county, Pa., the other day. William Roberts, 22 years old, asked a young woman whom he had been courting to marry} him. She laughed and said she intended to marry another, naming a rival whom Roberts especially disliked. Roberts at once went home and hanged himself. When the girl heard of her lover’s suicide, she exclaimed, ‘Oh, I intended to marry Billy. I was only teasing him,” and then swooned away.
The drinking of the warm blood of animals just killéd in the abbatoirs has become quite common in New York among consumptive in- valids. A week or so ago a letter appeared in the ‘‘Herald” strongly favoring the practice : hence the present rush to the abbatoirs. Ex- traordinary cures are said to have been effected by the warm blood of bullocks ; but the phy- sicians are rather, disposed to discourage the treatment, while admitting that it may be use- ful in some instances,
The task undertaken by William Gale, the pedestrian, four weel.s ago, of walking in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, 4,000 consecutive

He was enthusiastically cheered at the close, and on mounting the judges’ platform, he was pre- sented by Sir John Astley with a splendid silver-mounted belt, bearing an inscription to the effect that it was given by several noble- men and gentlemen as a mark of their appre- ciation of his wonderful performance.

A TERRIBLE WarNING.—Parents cannot be too careful of the manner in which they leave isonous matter around in the way of their children. One day last week a two-year old of Wm. Perry, Napanee, Ont., was fatally isoned by deinking a solution of salpetre. e mother had as solution of sal for use on the throat of a younger child af- flicted with quinsy, and the older child want- ing a drink, the mother, by mistake, gave it a drink out of the cup containing the saltpetre. She discovered the mistake, but felt no great alarm till the child began to turn le. A doctor was at once brought, who an antidote, but it was too late to save the child’s life.

‘Mr. Gladst ray F . oO rom a Tur Point of View. _
A Turkish paper contains a biography of Mr, Gladstone, which gives so many curious and new facts that we give the translation in ‘full, only omitting . here and there an exprea- sion too strong for Canadian taste :-—
‘Gladstone, the disturber, who is in - land the declared enemy of Uttomans an still more, of the rehyion of Islam ; who for many years has been heaping up all sorts of false charges against Isianasm and the Mus- sulmans; who, wiile we are tighting the Rus- _Sians, the Moidavians, Wallachians, Montene- grins, Bulgarians, aad Herzegovinians, one coming on aiter the other, seeks publicly to raise against us Servia and Greece, has amo other motives tor his conduct one which naturally drags him iato the gravest crimes and the most abyect turpitude. This votive is that Giadstone, though honoured and gen- erally known in the world, even along tue English, as an Englishman, is in reaiity a Bul- garian, who usurped the name of an Enyglish- man in order to become a somebody. Accord- ing to the biographical notices which have reached us concerning him,Gladstone was born in 1796, the otispring of the h passion (the original here deties literal translation) of a Bulgarian named Demitri, the servant ot a pig merchant named Neslori, living in the vii 3 of '‘I'chavra, in the canton of Kustendil, p to the age ot 16 years he assisted his father in the busmess of pig-keeping, but then, impelled by his perverse nature, he betrayed (here again I have to leave the original) the pig-merchant’s daughter, who was between 14 and 15 years old, and being in consequence unable to remain in the village, he fled to Serviaand entered the service of a *‘ mayor,’ or Servian pig merchant, Subsequently gomg to Loadon in the company of the pigs which his master sent there for sale, he anchored there, and having succeeded in earning his bread, we do not know how, he wanted to pass himself off for an Englishman and for this purpose he changed his ian ~ of Grezadin Gladstone ; y fortune, was able to acquire great intizence and importance in England until he attained the position of Prime Minister. Gladstone is so destitute of virtue and humanity that he worships gold more than the Messiah, and for gold is capable of slandering the Holy Virgin,
The Ottoman Government once offered him a salary of £50,000, if he would come and reor- ganize its financial system, but on its subse- quently rejecting his services, the lust of gol4, which had not gone into his purse, joined ‘to the instincts of the i has made him perpetrate all the infamies which one‘knows., and which he still continues to eugene against the Mussulman a. and Govern- ment. His gluttony for makes Gladstone
look yellow. According to those who knew him, he is of middle height. with a yellow face,
wearing closely-cut whiskers iu the European style, and, iis Satanic spirit, his forehead and | f are bare ; his evil temper has uis hair fall off; so that from ee be taken for quite ‘bald. e a long nose, a long face; and a very ugly mouth, as thewords he utters indi and when he tus mouth two are

It would, of course, be very unfair, as well as very fool- ish, to pretend that the Turkish Press repre- sents ‘lurkey in sarees like the sense in which the Engli ress represents England. But still the Turkish papers tind Turkish read- ers, whose opinions and information they must, to a certain extenj, both reflect and create.
