The rumor that an Italian firm was negotiating in the United States for an immediate supply of one hundred thou- sand tons of coal in place of obtaining it from England as heretofore, has caused uveasiness in London. A cargo of Ameri- cap coal reached the Mediterranean ten months ago and met with ready sale, and more than twenty cargoes have been sent over since that time. The London Globe apprehends that before long the coal in- dustry of Great Britain wiil have to en- counter determined rivalry on the part of the United States. American coal will not be landed in England, but will be shipped to ports on the continent which are now dependent upon supplies from the coal fields of the United Kingdom. Lord Beaconsfield’s determination not to go to thei country this year will be very severly criticised by his opponents. It will undoubtly be considered a sign of weakness, but the Government's reason, that they wish to dispose of the questions of foreign policy now pending, is a good one, and should command respect. But, it will be argued, if the Goverment’s colonial and foreign policy has been wise it would only be strengthened by an appeal to the people. This might or might not be so, but there is always the risk of de- feat, und, supposiog Lord Beaconsfield’s followers were routed, the question to be cousidered is whether Messrs. Gladstone, Bright & Co. could, without sacrificing the country’s honour, bring the existing difficulties to a satisfactory and suecess- ful termination.

An officer in command of a detach- ment of the First Punjaub Infantry (Coke’s Rifles), guarding the Kojak Pass, relates, in a private letter, of an amusing ruse in which the bagpipes took the place of the rifle, and 2 Scot— tish reel the place of the bayonet:— “Fifty Pathans threatened our main picket, but, on my coming up to the relief, ‘made tracks.’ Mr. W. arrived and reported that Bhanman was de- had assembled on the heights overlook-— ing Chanman, with the object of at tack— ing it during the night, and begging me to send down thirty Rifles for the defence of Chanman. I at once sent down word that I could not spare a man, as my post was the most import— ant of the two; but that I would at once assist them by clearing the heights; so I fell in forty Rifles. It was then just getting dark; and such, a march as we had of it over the hills, with tremendous khuds (precipices ) on either side! We proceeded very cautiously, and cleared four miles of the hills around Chanman; but no signs of the enemy could we see. On arriving right over Chanman I sent patrols right and left, but they returned without seeing a camp fire. I then said to Mr. W., ‘I tell you what I will do; ‘we will strike up the pipes and dance a reel, and the enemy will think the whole of Coke’s Rifles are down on them.’ [N. B.—Coke’s rities have six pipers in the regiment.] So we struck up a reel, and danced with drawn swords, much to the delight. of the men, who swore they would have marched double the distanee to have such a grand dance! Anyway, it had the desired effect, for Chanman was not attacked that night... Ilow we got.back to camp I don't know. _ I led the way over the most awful country you can imagine. We could see camp fires in the plains, thousands of feet straight below us. [You must remember the Kojak Pass is 7,500 feet above the sea. ] I was thankful when I heard a smart ‘Who comes there?’ from our pickets, and knew we were close to camp, which we reached at 10 p. m., mad with hunger; and, if we had not danced that reel, I believe we should have been dead with cold as well.” —_ ~~ 000 Cardinal Newman at Rome. A private despatch from Reme states that the health of the newly-created Cardi- nal Newman is now quite satisfactory. The depression under which he seemed to be labouring, immediately after his arrival at Rome, was caused wholly by the fatigue of his long journey, and from this he has com- | pletely recovered. Extraordinary attention from the Pope, from members of the Papal household, and from the Cardinals have been paid him. The Pope in a_ private andience which was granted Dr. Newman, referred to the promise which he had given not to exact from the Cardinal residence in the Eternal City, but he added that if Cardinal Newman could find it consonant with his ewn wishes to remit the charge of his educational institution in England to other members of the order there and take up his residence in Rome, he said his coun- sel aud wisdom would be of great benefit at this time to the Holy See. A residence in the Vatican would be provided for him,and if his health permitted of necessary labour, he would be requested to become a mem- ber of, or preside over, one of the Congre- gations which have in charge the various interests and affairs of the Church through- out the world. The despatch adds that Cardinal Newman, declining to make a positive answer at the moment, requested time to deliberate upon the matter. The Death-rate of Our country is getting to be fearfully al- | arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting general!y from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thon- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been ‘taken, a cure would have resulted, and a all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- eine.
