Enlque uonume â€"_ A transoAust-ralian railroad is being talk- ed of in the colony. In view of the prospect of the tta. rcha supply failing in Singapore the renc Gov- ernment has decided to cultivate the tree in Algeria. Advices from Houg Kong states that the wife of a Chiiiaman in Kungsi, who poisoned her husband and two members of his family, has been condemned to death by the ling- chi or slicing process, a unishment which is now seldom inflicted. t Collel'lls in slicing the flesh of the condemned person and allow- ing the victim to bleed to death. A trousersobutton manufacturer at Barmen advertises his readiness to pay $250 to the heirs of any man who may be killed in a railway accident, provided he is found to have been wearing at least six of the manu- facturer's buttons. ‘A duel extraordinary was promised a few days ago between two of the mast eminent fencing masters in Paris. The quarrel arose out of )1. Merignac’s reflection upon M. Vigeant’s fitness as an umpire, and the chal- lenge was sent, but the seconds concluded that there was no cause for fighting. A great fire broke out recently in the pine forest of Pcira (love, which is one of the finest and most extensive in the ,Alpes Maritimes, and is situated in the mountains above Monrone, says a N icc correspbndent. _ilie battalion of Alpine troops garrisoned in the neighbourhood was called out, and a sergeant and two privates were suffocated in the efl'orts to extinguish the flames. The Catholic authorities in Treves an- nounce that the coat of Joseph, the bus- band of Mary, which is preserved there as a. sacred relic, is to be exhibited to the faithful during the summer months, when pilgrim- ages from all parts of Catholic Germany are expected to visit Treves. The garment was recently inspected by a number of clerical learned experts and pronounced to be genuine. A Renter’s telegram dated Vienna, Wed- nesday, says : â€"- Railway communication between this city and Trieste is interrupted. in consequence of several avalanches havin fallen from the precipitous sides of the uni» row valley of the Save, in Southern Styria, through which the line runs, causing a block near. adtuefi'er. Convicts from the prison at Gilli have been ordered to the spot-to clear the line. Pastor Schach, of the Catholic Pius Con- gregation, in Berlin, has been garroted, and nearly killed by a well-to-do Protestant butcher named Lehmann. The latter went to the I’resbytery, and assaulted the priest for adVising his wife, who is a Catholic, to have her children baptized in the Catholic faith against her husband’s wishes. The sexton rescued the priest from his assailant, but the rev. gentleman is not expected to recover. A Berlin telegram states :â€"-The Public . Prosecutor at Kustrin, near Frankfort, has offered a reward for the capture of a Ger- man who, since September last, is believed to have made five attempts to murder five different prostitutes, after the fashion at- tributed in England to “ Jack the Ripper.” Hislast victim, a woman named Wilden, who was attacked on Feb. 21, and received a wound, measuring about eight inches, across the stomach, died yesterday. Her assailant is described as a man about thirty years of age, with a blonde moustache. He wore sailor’s clothes. ‘ ' There is a project on foot to erect amonu- ment to three famous musicians in Berlin-â€" Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. com- mittee that has been formed to carrv out the idea has already met ; and the sugges- tion is to build a monument that shall give sculpture free play, and be something unique. The monument is to rise amidst the shady foliaged walks of the Thiergarteii, between . Charlottenburg and Berlin ; and it, is suggested it should take the form of an open hall, in which the three monuments shall stand. Since the erection of the Luther monument at \l'orms there has not been so great and suggestive a work undertaken ; and it is hoped that both subscriptions and sugges- tions and designs may flow richly in to the committee.

The sooner these boys learn'the lesson, the sooner will they be on the high road to success. We once knew of a sixteen-year-old boy who had obtained a position’ as assistant entry clerk in a wholesale house, his duty being to aid. in charging and shipping goods. But Saturday came, and it was the first he had ever work- ed. It came to him like a shock, particu- laryas' his “ nine,” for which he pitched, was to play a “ crack” team from an ad- joining town.

His club would be beaten, and all on ac- count of his absence; so he mustered up courage. “ But, sir, I romised the boys I’d be there, and they’ll e beaten sure if I don’t pitch.” The response came quickly : l “,You can go, but don’t let it occur a sin.” That night'at supper, flushed wit vic- toryâ€"for they had won a close gameâ€"this boy told his father of the conversation and the result, ' adding, “ He’s a bully man, father l” After a few moments’ thought this wise and sometimes severe parent said: “ My son, had I a clerk in your position who made such a request, involving leaving work undone he was paid to perform, should have told him to get out and take up base-ball as a meansof livelihood.

I can best illustrate this last point by a ' bit of my personal experience. One day I ‘ went to the bazars of Cairo with a friend, ‘ who wanted to buy an oke (about two pounds) of cigarette tobacco. lVe found a shop where the keeper spoke alittle French, ‘ and stated our wants. First it was necessary ' to beat down the price, which required con- siderable talk and several movements on curipart to go elviewhere. 0n "the counter was a. pair of balance scales, similar, to those we ‘ see in American drug. stares, where weights onghe side balance the merchan- dise on the other. While we were talking the fellow managed to hide his one-oke weight, and when we came to weigh out the tobacco he put the §.oke weight in the scale and two or three small weights which he said made a full oke, which was not true. I _We Checkmated him in this by. balancin ' the isoke nails with the small‘weights a . then puttinglvmthe“ whole to ether on one side ; then he placed a 3 eat, of card- ' boardon’the side where the tobacco was to ; go, “so’ thatit wouldn’t injure the brass,"i as he said. We checkmated this by tearing I the cardboard in two pieces and putting one i on each side of the scale, and then told him ' topile'on the tobacco. His final attempt: I to cheat was by taking the tobacco from a ' jar other than the one we had selected ; it Was"”dri wet, fairly“ and thoroughly ’ saturate ; nan , quite unfit for making a bi - ‘ .arette. Officourae, wecorrected this trio , ' in spite of his declaration: that it was the tobacco we had chosen ; the negotiation took ? halfanhour, at least, but we had so much fun in thetranssction that we did not be: grudge the tinie.
