The hands also presented him with a gold pen and pencil case. Lonpon, Novy. 8. The ‘“‘News’’ article on the Fishery ques- tion concludes : ‘‘We wait with interest the publication of Salisbury’s despatch and the statement drawn up by the Canadian Gov- ernment; but there is no use trying to dis- guise the fact that Mr. Evarts’ case has some force init. A right has teen bought and in the natural course of things will be paid for by the United States. Their right of fishing, thus acquired, occurred two years before the local law was passed, and our commissioners forgot to reserve to the Local Legislature the right of making re- gulations. We fear the date fixed by the treaty for paymer.t of the award Noy. 23rd, will be long past before the American Gov. ernment are convinced of the error of their contention. The question is one of loyal obligation and it cannot be too calmly dis- cussed on both sides. A reluctance to in- flict wrong should be at least as strong as a determination not to submit to one.” ATHENS, Nov. 8.

Russia is establishing a second line of de- fence at Adrianople. Several prominent Turks, believing that the attitude of the Russians in Roumelia will lead to war with England and Turkey, are anxious to convince Minister Layard that the best mode of fighting Afghanistan would be to engage Russia in Europe. Sev- eral Ministers, and especially the military party, favor the definitive cession of a por- tion of Bosnia to Austria, so as to secure her neutrality in case of future contingen- cies. Lonpon, Noy. 8.

A Quebec dispatch of the 5th says :—‘‘In the Court of Queen’s Bench this afternoon the jury in the case of Michael Farrell, for the murder of Francis Conway, brought in a verdict of guilty. After the usual proclamation, the prisoner was asked if he had any reasons to give why sentence should not be passed upon him. The prisoner spoke in substance as follows :—‘That man (deceased) had liberty to go through the gap. If he had put up the gap he would be alive and I would not be here. I had made a fence and he put it down purposely. He had challenged me to fight before ; he said he would smash my face. It is hard to sow acrop and have your enemy destroy it.’ Judge Monk, without rising, then in a feel- ing address to the prisoner, after enlarging upon the heinousness of the crime, and ad- vising the prisoner not to expect the slightest mitigation of the sentence about to be pronounced by tiie Court, proceeded to pass the sentence, which is that ‘Michael Farrell be taken hence to the prison, and hung within the precincts of the prison on Friday, the 10th day of January next.’ The prisoner seemed greatly affected.” ee ee - — a An Extraordinary Invention. A Manchester clergyman—a curate at- tached to Christ Church, Greenkeys—of which his father is rector—has just in- vented a remarkable torpedo, of which the following description is given in the Eng- lish correspondence of the New York ‘Evening Post :” ‘‘He can immerse him- self and his boat ‘full fifty deep’ in the bosom of the ocean, and at this invisible and uninhabitable depth he can do his boating and blowing up business with al- most as much facility as if he was on the surface of the sea. By the aid of a small knapsack strapped across his should. ers, which contains some curious chemicals for purifying air that has become vititiated by breathing the reverend gen- tlemen can remain under water more than an hour at once. How this is done appears to be one of the secrets of the invention, while another is the method of sinking him- self and craft and sailing about at pleasure. The boat is about forty feet long by nine feet deep. It is covered with glass, and has two waterproof sleeves, as it were, attached to it, into which are thrust the arms of the operator, who thus propels, steers, handles and affixes his implements of destruction, whether they are torpedoes or towlines.” It is added that a public trial of the inven- tion took place some time ago at Birken- head, which was quite satisfactory. °- <> ©@—e -— -—_ -—_ Thrilling Adventure of Miners. CLIMBING 222 FEET THROUGH BURNING BRANDS. About five o’clock last Sunday morning the fine hoisting works of the Lady Bryan Mining Company took fire and burned down in an in- credibly short space of time. At the moment that the fire was discovered the engineer re- ceived a signal from the bottom of the shaft to the second section, 330 feet below the surface. He hoisted the car to the surface at once. The station tender proved to be on board. He was asked to descend to the bottom of the shaft, which is 600 feet deep, and tell the men work- ing in the drift from the 600 level cf their dan- ger, but refused to take the chances, being safe on the surface and the building wrapped in flames. ‘The men below were thus left to their fate, and it was felt that there was little ho of those who were working in the drift at the bottom of the shaft ever reaching the surface alive. There were six men in this drift, and their position was one of great peril. The first notice they had of the fire was when the cage, alraost red hot, came tumbling down to the bottom, followed by falling coals and burnin brands, All then knew that they must climb for their lives to the 380 feet level—220 feet above. They instantly broke to the ladder- way and made their way up through a shower of falling brands and burnin oan A man who was at the head of the line of climbers was struck by the bell-rope, which, in falling, wound about his neck, and_ threatened to pull him down. He called to the men below, tell- ing them that the rope was about his neck and might pull him down; therefore all would do well to hold on as firmly as ible, as in fall- ing he might knock them from their places. They moved up to where he was and soon suc- ceededin disentangling him from the rope. All eventually reached the 380 level in safety, and on landing there they were all right, as all that remained for them to do was to pass through a drift to the shaft at the old works, when they could easily ascend to the surface. Seven men who were at work on the 380 level also passed out through the old works.— Vir- gtnia City (Nev. ) Enterprise. Lord Odo Russell’s refusal to accept the peerage offered for his services at the Con- gress is explained on the ground that its acceptance would carry with it an obliga- tion to pay allegiance to the political party which conferred the honor. Lord Odo Russell is a staunch Liberal. a The new St. John, N. B., rebuilt since the first, is, says the ‘“‘Iron Age,” both for the beauty and solidity of its structures, a finer city than the old, There are now erected, or in course of erection, 352 stone, brick and brick-cased buildings, of an ag- greate value of $3,456,200, and 50 wooden buildings, valued $739,332, ing a total of 888 buildings of all kinds, with a value of £5,195,532. New buildings worth $100,- 000 have also been erected outside the burnt district. bi { a ne Se
