He is now fifuy- four years of age, and should he live to serve all his time, he will be eigh- ty-one years of age, when he comes out. Mrs. Robinson is a woman of nearly fifty years of age. She is in fairly good health, but the trouble' she has gone through has weighed very heavily upon her. It will be remem- bered that at the time of the tris} Mrs" Robinson stated she had killed the children in an attempt to cover up the disgrace for the members of the family. Her case caused wide d sympathy, and it was due to the influence brought to bear that she was saved from the gallows. After she was removed to the penitentiary, peti- tions were sent to the justive depart- ment, asking that she be ullowed her liberty, and now at last they "have been acted upon. Robinson, according to all reports, was unconcerned shout his term in the ipenitentiary, and at the time of his removal here was credited with mik- ing a statement to the effect that he did not care if he went to the peni- tentiary for fifty years, so long as he did not go to the gallows, The officials who brought him down to the penitentiary stated that he did not appear to eare an iota about his sentence, While in jail at Sudbury, Robinson signed a petition calling for leniency in the case of his wife, Women all over the provinwe took up the case of Mrs. Robinson, believing that she was not to blame in the matter, praying that leniency might be shown her, WOMAN RETURNS HOME.

The executive authority m India it- self is vested in the governor-general- incouneil. The governor-gemeral, or, as he is more generally called, the viceroy, is appointed by the crown, and holds office for five years; this term is sometimes extended. The sal acy of the viceroy is 250.000 rupess a year. The ripee is now worth 1 shill- ing and 4 pence, or, roughly, thirty- four cents; the salary amounts, there fore, to about $84,000 a year, but I should be sorry to undertake the job and to pay my expenses out of that sum. The council of the viceroy consists of six ordinary members besides the commander-in-chief of the army, and they are appointed by the crown, and hold office for five years. This coun- cil is enlarged into a legislative coun- cil by the addition of sixteen other members appointed by the viceroy un- der certain restrictions. Further, India is divided into nine srovinces : Bombay, Madras, Bengal, astern Bengal, United Provinces, the Punjab, Central Provinegs, - North- west frontier provinces, and Burma. The governors of Bombay and Madras wre the most important officials after the viceroy, and are appointed by the crown, and each carries a salary of L000 a year. The governors of Bombay and Madras have an execu- tive council of two members of the Indian civil 'service appointed by the crown. The lieutenant-governors for Bengal, Eastern Bengal, United Pro- vinces, the Punjab and Burma are ap- pointed by the viceroy with the ap- proval of the crown: the chiei com- missioners of the central provinces and the agent to the governorgeneral who governs the north-west frontier provi: ces are appointed by the viceroy council. Of these divisions, | visited seven, and in each I was impressed by the enormous amount of work bein, done, by the conscientious--often thought too conscientious--way in which it was done, and by the dig- nity and fearlessness of the men who were doing it. I it were not for the interferences from the India office and the criticism from ignorant politicians who shamefully play India off for votes at home, it would be the most ideally managed, as it is the most successfully administered, dependency in the world. Parishioner Feared Parson, Newark Star, Rev. Henry R. Rose tells the of a young minister who bad only recently taken charge of a small porisk in Vermont, He aspired to greater things and a larger field, and in hope that his reputation would travel beyond the limits of the vil- lage to which he had been sent he threw into his sermons all the force and eloquence at his command. He was, however, totally unprepar- od for what was intended for a com pliment, but wiich was put to him in such a way that it left him in doubt as to the real impression he had made, One Sunday morning, after an es pecially brilliant effort, he was greet. ed by an old lady, who was one of the most faithful at endants at all services, Approaching the young min ister, she said: 5 > "AL, sir, we do énjoy your sermons so much, they are so instructive.

Hans Von Spiger is notorious for the excellent quality of his cider, and he is furthermore notorious for being the memest, stingiest Dutchman in existence. He was never known to give a living soul one drop of his delicious beverage. Now, at the time of the following occurrence, John Be, being on a visit, and hearing of the excellent quality of Hans' cider, rode over to the farm one morning when the following. conversation took place :-- "Good mornang, Tans I" "Good morning, Zhous !"' "Hans, you have a fine orchard." "Oh, yes; good orchart." "Fine press that of yours." "Yes, fme press, fine orchart." "Hans, I hear that your cider is the best in the country ?*' "Zohn (to his son), go down and draw us a mug of cider."
