A memorial stating that only fifteen hun- diel negroes out of forty thousand who | were eititled to emancipation have receiv- ‘ed their relcace has been presented to the Spanish Government by the abolitionists. | | I: has been learned that Madame Kale- ‘wire, the moryantic wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse, isa descendant of the ec- cen'ric German reformer, Ulric Von tings are considered to have aided the work of Luther. The Republic of Venezeula is said to be 'on the renewal of civil war, owing to the ‘election by Congress. as president, of a ‘mere figure-head, the tool of Guzman Blanco, a former occupant of the office, who irendered himself unpopular by his despot- ism and rapacity. | The number of British visitors to Canada ‘daring this summer promises to be unpre- |cedentedly large. A special to the Toronto | Mail says one thousand savants alone, in- ‘cluding one hundred members of Parlia- ment, have already secured tickets for the ‘approaching meeting of the British Associ- ‘ation in Montreal. In consequence of the prevalence of hog disease in the Western States, vigorous steps jhave been taken by the Canadian Customs ‘authorities to prevent the spread of the epidemic in Manitoba. All hogs imported into the North West from the States must be slanghtered immediately on arrival. So says a Winnipeg despatch, Count de Puyjalon has left Quebec to ex- plore Labrador. So many sections of the Dominion, hitherto regarded as barren, are in these days found to possess wealth, in some shape or other, that no one will be astonished if the covnt returns to report that salmon fishing is not the only industry that will thrive in the unexplored country. American business men who have been struggling to secure the passage of a general bankruptcy law have been defeated again in Congress. Tho Insolvency bill passed the Senate, but was thrown out by the House. An equitable distribution of insol- vent esiates is not one of the features of commercial operations on the other side of the line. At the enquiry at Sligo into the Tuber- curry conspiracy on Saturday, an Invinct- ble informer stated that Tynan, ‘‘No. 1,” was present at the Phcoenix Park murders, and that the commission of crimes by Fen- jans was encouraged. Another witness stated that Daly, whom he had identified in prison at Birmingham, was at a Fenian meeting in 1878 when the witness was made a head centre. Atthe Health Exhibition in London a novelty for underwear is announced which, it is expected, will attract great attention. Itis a new silk ‘‘long cloth,” warm, soft, gentle, and specially adapted to those who cannot bear contact with flinnel or any woollen material. It is diffievlt to see how silk, which is cool and repellant, can be made warm and absorbent, as the new fabric is said’ to be. It is ecru in colour and has a plain or twilled surface, as pre- ferred. The following incident in cennection with the visit of Lord and Lady Lansdowne to the Kinyston Penitentary, a few days ago, is recorded in the W hig:—‘' Presently Lady Lansdowne came upon another child, a year and a half old, as it playfully hugged iis mother. The Marchioness approached _ convict and asked the cause of her confinement. The woman told her, but her lip quivered and the tears welled to her eyes. The conversation was continued in a whisper, and before it ceased my lady’s words and manner had soothed the sorrow- ing creature.” The Countess of Caithness,who is wealthy and socially*famous, as well as a noble dame, is the last important person who is bitten with the doctrines of theosophy, which Mme. Blavatsky and Col. Olcott are preaching in London and in Paris. [Theosophy is a religious belief in which peculiar views are held regarding the mani- festation in man of the wisdom of God. It is a modern adaptation of some of the views of Paracelsus, a Swiss alchemist, born et Einsiedeln, Schwytz, in 1493. The soul, aceording to him, was united to the body by an animal fluid, and that man was an image of the Trinity, his intellect repre- senting God, his budy the world, and the fluid the stars. Richard [., who did little in the way of regular legislation, promulgated quite a striking code of laws fer the maintenance of order in his fleet. If any man killed another on board, he was to be fastened to the dead body and thrown overboard. He who drew blood from another by a wilful blow, or strick at him with a weapon, was to lose his hand;a hand-blow that caused no blood was to be punished by ducking the cffender thrice. A thief was to be shaven, hot pitch was then to be poured upon his head, and the feathers of a pillow shaken over it, as a mark whereby he might be known; and he was then to be turned ashore on the first land at which the ship might touch. This last is one of the earliest instance of tarring and feathering on re- cord. The Rev. Q. R. Shaw has just returned to London.

One hundred and fifty people were injured, several seriously, but no fatal results are feared. Every successive year additional medi- cinal virtues are claimed for the strawberry and if all said of the delicious fruit is true, it is not half appreciated. Consumption and gout are now said to be relieved by straw berries. The house in which Thomas Carlyle was born, at Ecclefachan, in Dunfriesshire, Scotland, has been purchased by members of his family, who have had it ropaired and painted. Many relics of Carlyle have been deposited in the house. The six days’ heel and toe walking match between Wm, Edwards, champion of Aus- tralia, and Frank Hart, colored pedestrian of Boston, was concluded at Denver, Col., en Saturday night, Ebwards winning by nine miles and five laps. The score at the close stood : Edwards, 426 miles 5 laps ; Hart 416 miles 10 laps. The great pine forests of Michigan, Wis- consin and Minnesota are beginning to show the signs of exhaustion. There is a short- age of production this year in these States footfng up about 600,000,000 feet. The average of “ first quality” lumber has run down from 12 per cent. ten years ago to 2 per cent. last year, showing the rapid de- ee of stock which is brought to the mills. Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Leonard Tilley passed through Moneton Friday night, going north to Rimouski, whence they sailed for England—Sir Charles to act as High Commissioner, Sir Leonard to effeet the loan authorized last session to meet debt talling due and for other purposes. A number of Railway officials were at the station and paid their respects to Sir Charles. The abolition of canal tells is the prin- cipal matter under the consideration of the Dominion government at present. Grain shippers claim that it is absolutely necessary in order to compete with American ports for the grain trade of the western states, It is understood that the government will meet the shippers half way, and remit half the canal tolls on grain as experiment. The steamer City of Mexico. the pioneer vessel of the New York, Halifax and St. Jobn’s Steamship Line. arrived at Balifax, on Sunday, with a full cargo and a: fair numberof passengers. The vessel was recently thoroughly overhauled and the in- spectors pronounced her in perfect order, The company was recently formed with the object of establishing and working a regular line of steamers berween New York, Hali- fax and S:. John’s, the growing commerce and steadily inereasing tratlic having de- manded an efficient line. The new llne is under the American flag. and it is intended to add other vessela and establish regular sailinys of a boat twice a month. In Mr. Irving's “Impressions of America” his dog—the breed of which, by the way, is not gisen—is spoken of thus:—‘‘He’s a well-bred little fellow, and one gentleman, who took a great interest in him, tried to open negotiations to buy him from me. Poor Charlie !—he is getting old and blind, though he looks sprightly enough. He has travelled with me in Europe and Africa, and now in America—some day we hope to see Asia together.’ ‘Does he go with you to the theatre? ‘Always; and he knows the pieces I play. I suppose he knows them by the color of the clothes I wear. During some plays he sniffs about all night during the leng ones he settles quietly down, When ‘Hamlet’ is played he is par- ticularly sedate. He hates ‘‘The Lyons M:zil,’ because there is shooting in it. When the murder scene comes he hides away in the furthermost corner he can find.” The annual statement for 1883 of the Navigation and Shipping of the United Kingdom is, on the whole, favorabie. During the year the total number of sailing and steam vessels—British and foreign— enterered at ports in the United Kingdom was 354,164, and the tonnage 75,340,507 (ons, against 453,412 vessels and 71,854,212 tons in the year 1882.
