Among the effects of a gentleman who recently died at Paris, and which effects were sold at a public auction, there was a mummy, understood to be the mortal res mains of a very distinguished person of the thirty-second Egyptian dynasty. It has been frequently stated that the Ashantee war cost nearly nine million ster- ling. The actual cost is announced to have been about seventeen hundred thousand pounds, an amount yet to be reduced bya valuation ofa large quantity of returned | Sbores. Speculations have begun to be made as to the changes that would take place in the British Cabinet in case ill health will compel Mr. Disraeli to resign, It is considered by same thatin sucha contingency Sir Staf- ford Northcote would become the leader of | the House of Commons. ‘ Daunt’s rock, which has been a danger- | ous obstruction at the enterance of Cork | harbour, was attacked with a powerful bale | of gun cotton, in order to remove it the other day. The rock, however, did not | seem to be much the worse for the explo- | sion but immediately after it a number of | dead fishes were picked up by the boatmen | where the gun-cotton had been fired. Iv is generally known that among many | | trades in Europe no work is done on Mons |days. Dr. Boyd preaching on behalf of the | hospitals of Devonshire, in Exeter, lately, | calculated that the loss to the work people engaged in the woolen manufactures, the cotton trade and the brickslaying trade alone by ‘Idle Monday,’ amounted to £7,s | 800.000 per annum. | Prince Bismarck has become extremely | sensitive over his prosecution of Count Von 'Arnim. Ina correspondence to the Lon- | don Times, the Count’s son made use of a title for himself, which coming to the knowledge of Bismarck, which caused an o'} cial remonstrance. The German Chan- cellor did not always stoop to such trifles, The late M. Guizot commenced an action of a singular kind against the Empress Eugenie to force ber to receive back a sum of money which he was distressed to learn the late Emperor had advanced to his son Guillaume. The austere Orleanist died before the case cou'd be tried; and now the | family, repudiating his chivalric scruples, | have dropped the action. | The London Eeho says: ‘A French dras | matic author, who does not wish to be nams iMPERIAL | ed, has invented « very simple apparatus. | which in case of fire, shows in what part of hipe Lasaranee COMPAL) ts building the fire has begun. With this apparatus, instead of searching for an LONDON. hour and a half to find the seat of the fire, as was the case the last time the French Upera house was burnt down, an electric bell will immediately apprise the adminis~ tration that fire has broke out, and a board | will show in what part of the house, The Cologne Gazetie gives the following paragraph:—“The diplomatic body in Paris is excited by the unwelcome discovery that itis under the police espionage. The two military attaches of the German Embassy, Maj. Bulow and Capt. Theremin had long had a French.Swiss servant, who seemed extremely regular and trustworthy; but | rathersimple and ignorant. On Herr Bulow entering this servant’s room during his ab- sence, he found concealed in an illustrated paper lying on the table a detailed report of his master’s actions addressed to M. Lombard, Commissioner of the secret branch of the Paris police. The honest son of Helvetia was of course at once discharg- | 6d, and his masters have made a strong re- | monstrance to the Duc De Cazes against the amiable attentions with which the French police have favoured them.”’ . Longfellow,. | that so peculiarly heart rending a calamity sult before admittance to the parlor can be obtained. A shocking fratricide has just been com- mitted at Cherbourg. Two brothers, twins, named Bastien, dined withanactor. After the meal the host went to the performance at the theatre, and presently adispute arose between ‘he hostess and one of the young men. ‘The latter slapped the woman’s face, on which the brother snatched up a knife and stabbed his assailant in the stom- ach. Death was instantaneous, This is a most terrible story which comes to us over the Atlantic of the death of Lady Stirling Maxwell. the wife— married by him not more than ten short years ago —of one of the most accomplished and charming of British writers and public men, Sir William Sterling-Maxwell, Bart, M. P., better known in the world of letters by his untitled name as William Stirling of Keir. Lady Sterling-Maxwell, who wasa daughter of the noble house of Leven, was burned to death ather own hearth. The details of this frightful event have not yet reached us, but the bare fact itself only too vividly res calls the thrill of general sympathy which ran through England as weil as America when a similar fate befel, many years ago, the lovily wife of our own poet and scholar, It is as strange as it is sad should have overtaken two of the gentelest most kindly and generous of men, in the very heart of and fortress of two of the hap piest and most refined homes which “either Britirn’’ in our time has posssessed. Determined to be Married.—A Connecti cut paper publishes this story ;—A Niantic clergyman was called to perform the mar. riage ceremony one evening not long ago in that village, but on reaching the house where the act was to be consummated, he discovered that the certificate had been given in the town of Waterford and con- sequently could not be used in the town of East Lyme, in which Niantic is situated, After some hesitation the bride elect pro- posed that the parties walk over the town boundary and thus remove the difficulty. This suggestion was at once carried out, and the interested persons wended their way for over a mile along the Shore Line Railroad track until the town o! Waterford was reached. The moon -was shining in full splendor when the clergyman’s words were pronounced cn a littie eminencein an open field. At one side stretched the waters of the Sound, with not a breath of air rippling their smooth surface, and the moon’s light fell like a benediction on the bared heads of the happy pair.” British Burman, says the Pall Mall Gazelie, is one of our latest acquisitions in the east, An interesting report from the chief medi- cal officer of the province gives a glimpse at once of its progress and of the efforts made by the Indian Administration tofcause the benefits of English rule to be practic- ally felt throughout its dependencies. From a summary of the documentit appears that their are fifteen public dispensaries estab~ tished within the province, which have ministered to 48 $15 cases of sickness dur, ing the past year, over 4,000 of these being made in-patients for atime. The increase on the number of the preceding year is reported as 3,265. Although the original religious prejudices of the Burmese or Buddhist against European medica! treat ment, which once were very marked, are thus steadily disappearing, they still dislike taking medicine from the hands of the Hin- doo or Mahomedan apothecary from India proper, and it is proposed, therefore, to open amdical class for Burmese students in connection with the government high school at Rangoon. An attempt to teach midwifery to a class of native women has ammonite, both terms referring to its resem- blance inshape to the horns which sur- has also, in more modern times, been popularly known as the mad stone and the snakesstone, Scientifically speaking, it is the fossil petrifaction of an extinct mollusk closely resembling the nautilus, having a to that ofa large cart-wheel.

Mr Lewis Chaustien, of Frederick County, who em- ployed it in case of snake and dog bites, The writer describes how his little daughter having been bitten by amad dog, he was induced to carry her to Mr. Caustien in order to obtain for her the benefit of his remedy. Having been informed that the stone, which was in three pieces, would ads serpent or » mad dog, he tried the ox- scratches on the child’s body, occasioned by a recent fall, but it immediately drop- ped off. On being applied, however to the dog-bite, it at once took hold like a leech, and continued to stick for eight hours, and the other two pieces adhered successfully an equal length of time before they fell off. They were then immersed ker of small bubbles began to rise, and oil of greenish yellow color soon covered the surface. The pieces were afterwards dried in warm ashes.

Ho! he who atthe’anvil toil.s And strikes a sounding blow, Where trom the burning iron’s breast The sparks fly to and fro, While answering to the hammer’s ring, And fire’s intemser glow— Oh! while ye feel "tis hard to toil And sweat the long day through, Remember it is harder still To have no Work to do. Ho! ye who till the stubborn soil. Whose hard hands guide the piough, Who bend beneath the summer sun, With burning cheek and brow— Ye deem the curse still clings to earth From olden times till now— But while ye feel ’tis hard to toil And labor all day through, Remember it is harder still To have no work todo. He! ye who plough the sea’s blue lield— Who ride the restless wave, Beneath whose gallant vessel’s kee! There lies a yawning grave, Around whose bark the wintery winds Like fiends of fury rave— Oh! while ye feel ’tis hard to toil And labor long hours through, Remember it is harder still To have no work to do. Ho! ye upon whose fevered cheeks The hectic glow is bright, Whose mental toil wears out the day And half the weary night, Who labor for the souls of men, Champions of truth and right— Although ye feel your toil is hard, Even with this glorious view, Remember it is harder still To have no work to do. Ho! all who labor—all who strive— Ye wield a lofty power ; Do with your might, do with your strength, Fill every golden hour!
