The Paris Figaro publishes an article by Leflo, formerly French ambassador to Russia, containing official correspondence elating to the events of 1875, showing that Russia prevented Germany from attacking i (ren rance. A semi-oflicial note has been is- sued declaring that Gen. Leflo used documents which were not his property without permission’from the Foreign Office, snd that he deserves the reprobation of all men with a sense honor for such a serious breach of his professional duties.

The tone of a portion of the Russian the Khoja Saleh boundary question was not so much in intrinsic as contingent or relative. It was in one case unhesitatingly stated that the real cause of the delay in Situation 1s certainly a strange comment on Russian diplomacy. After the meeting of the delimitation commission ov the 4th inst., without any decision being arrived at, it wasarranged that another meeting should take place on the following Tuesday but, as the telegram jinformed us, it too proved ineffectual. In case of such being result, Sir West Ridgeway was to receive | fresh instructions. The troubles that have meanwhile arisen in Afghanistan add still further to the existing complications. ~>- <> -e oe Trouble in Crete. Though telegrams from Athens announc- ed that the Greek Government had used its influence to quiet the discontent in Crete,it did not succeed in preventing loss of | life ; one Turk was killed and several others were wounded, and three Christians fell victims to the conflict. It promised well that lead- ing professors of both faiths were uniting in their efforts to calm the excitement, and in the town of Canea they had managed to re- store apparent tranquility. . But armed bands of Christians were roving about the outskirts,or occupying positions from which they might assault unwary pass- ers-by. How tar the Turk- ish authorities repose confidence in the expressed desire of the Greeks to make their kinsmen submissive to the Moslem Clergyman Released. As announced in our Dublin despatch, some time ago Rev. Father Keller ‘has been released from prison by order of the Court of Appeal. This court holds that the warrant for Father Keller's arrest was illegal, and reverses; the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. Father Keller was released from prison af 8 o’elock: oh Saturday evening. He drove to the Ini- perial Hotel in the Lord Mayor's carriige in ®@empany with Archbishop Walsh and Timothy Harrington, M. P., followed a large crowd ot citizens. At the hotel he was received by Messrs. Sheehy and Crilly, M. P.’s, and nuwerous priests. Father Keller addressed the crowd from a window of the hotel. In the course of his remarks he said he might have been in prison until dooms- day. before Justice Boyd would have releas- ed him. With reference to his treatment while in prison he said that all the officials had shown him marked respect. At night crowds of citizens carrying banners and headed by bands of music paraded the stredt# in honor of Father Kellar’s release. An Obstinate Bride. - A short time ago a well known clerpy- man, now laboring in Halifax, while station- ed at another place was a necessary partici- pant in an extraordmary marriage scene. The bridegroom was a rough fisherman, and the bride belonged to the some class. The ceremony was in progress and the minister had reached the question, ‘** Wilt thou take this man to be thy wedded husband?” It was asked and received no response. The astonished clergyman repeated it, and still no answer came. A third time he asked it, with continued silence on the lady’s part, and then remarked that unless the question was answered the ceremony could not be performed. The groom suddenly dropped his loved one’s hand, took a step behind her, administered a sharp shock with his heavily booted foot, and resumed his place at her side with the exclamation: ‘‘ Now will you answer the parson?” The ques- tion was properly answered and the mar- riage was concluded without further trouble.—-Halifax Chronicle. Ei el the New Tax. Russian travel abroad will be very much checked by the new tax on passports pro- posed by the Finance Minister. Indeed, should the tax be decided on, only very rich Russians will be able to leave their own country for any length of time. For the first three months abroad each traveller will be taxed 30 gold roubles (about £4 18s 4d), during the next quarter 15 roubles a month, in the third quarter 20 gold roubles, and in the last quarter of the tirst year 25 gold roubles a month. After. this date the tax will be 30 gold roubles month- ly, so that for the first year abroad Russians must pay £34 Os 8d, and for each succeed- ing twelve months $59. Further, there is a tax of 4} roubles for every six months, and 10 roubles for each year on behalf of tlie Invalids’ Fund, while any breach of the prescribed term of absence entails a fine of 25 percent. These taxes are all levied in gold, not in the depreciated paper rouble. ? —— Tw following imformation given in a re- cent number of the Scientific American nay be of interest to some of our readers :—When a silk hat becomes wet, or from other. causes has lost its smoothness and yloss, cleanse it carefully from all dust, then with a silk hand- kerchief apply petrolatum evenly and smooth down with the same handkerchief until it is dry, smooth and glossy.

A universal penny postal service would be a boon to people of limited means all over the world. The subject is advocated by Mr. H. Heaton, member of the British Heuse, of Commons, who has collected some interesting statistics on the subject which will be found in our telegraphic columns. The deduction to be drawn from these statistics is that a penny post could be established between Great Britain and America. at a profit to the former country. The United States and Canada are much interested in this matter and if some of our statisticial friends in the Dominion Parlia- ment weuld follow the example set by Mr. Heatom and gather statistics bearing on the postal araangements between the two countries some sort of an idea regarding the probable loss to the Dominion the changes would involve would be ascertain- ed.. The United States, we believe, are favorable t6 Cheap postage, therefore the uivocates of the reform need fear little opposition from our cousins across the line. W the matter taken in hand by the government of the three countries, we have uo doubt a satisfactory arrangement could be arrived at. ere i St. Petersburg Endangered. There is no great city whose security is more frequentiy endangered by possible overflows of water than is St. Petersburg. Its situation is naturally low, and when the ice breaks up a westerly gale and high tide in the Gulf of Finland would threaten it with submergence and ruin. The Neva, which at that season sweeps with resist- less force through the city, is fed by the waters of Lake Ladoga, covering an area of over 6,000 square miles, at a level of about sixty feet above the sea. In the year 1880 the waters rose over ten feet above their ordinary level, and the people were in hun- dreds of instances inundated. The base- ments and cellars in a great portion of the city were under water, and the suburban villas and cottages had to be deserted. One result of this flooding is the prevalence of much disease, the death rate being said to be higher there than in any other capi- tal. But for the immigration from the rural districts and a countries, the population would dwindle away. Says the St. John Globe: Yesterday after- ‘noon Constable Prince placed in jail Wm. Mabee for 25 cents, being the amount due on an execution for taxes. Mabee tendered the otticer a twenty-five cent piece, but it was somewhat worn and had a small piece of lead | filled in a small space that had been punctur- ed in the coin. The jail officer admitted the delinquent, but subsequently released him, accepting the coin at face value. sellin AccorDING to the Roman Catholic direct- ory recently published there are 413 priests in the diocese of New York, 312 in Boston, 287 in Baltimore, 282 in Chicago, 270 in Philadelphia, 253 in St. Louis, 227 in Mil- waukee and 219 in Cincinnati. exmeemmnenememneqenent ‘BEAUTIFUL, just perfect !” a lady said, ‘as she suited herself to a pair of Warren’s French kid boots, made on the ‘*Common Sense Last.” You can all have beautiful and perfect fits in boots, shoes and slippers at C.
