An Englishman dis- cdvered that the water always ran one way and built a mill which has made his for- tfine. He tried hard to find where the water. which disappears into the earth, ultimately went, and, among other experi- ments with that end, poured oil on its surfwe, but its course remains a mystery. There were thirty-six British and foreign wrecks, of which eight were British, one being a steamer, reported during the past week, making a total of 906 for the present year, or an increase of 228 as compared with the corresponding period of last year.

Prince Bismarck objects to the new fashion of printing German books in Latin characters. as appears from the following letter to a welleknown publishing house in Leipeio: “ With reference to the letter directed to Prince Bismarck, I beg to return you herewith the pamphlet sent, informing you at the same time that it is contrary to rule to lay before the Chancellor any work or works written in the German language with Latin characters. because the perusal of such would take too much of His High~ Charles B.

While all the world nowadays knows of the torpedo, invented and named by Ful. ton, as a machine to blow 11 ships, com- paratively few know that it es its name irom a fish of marvellous electrical pro- rties, which was anatomized by the amons surgecn John Hunter. The torpedo is found in the Mediterranean, the Bay of Biscay and the southern En lish and Irish waters. The ancients em eyed it as a. therapeutic agent. It is be ieved to use its extraordinary powers to benumb a big enemy or to capture a smaller fish. It loves to lie in sand. in which it will bury itself by flapping its extremities, throwing the sand over its back. Tread on it then and you will lie prone In a moment. It is sometimes sold for food in French markets. Some curious statistics of suicide are published in _a German paper. from which it appears that, contrary to the general belief. the number of suicides in London is relatively much less than in the other European capitals. In Leipzig, the " Chimn borazo of suicide." as it is called by a‘ German professor. the average number of suicides from 1875 to 1878 was 450 per million inhabitants; in Paris it was 400, in Vienna 285, in Berlin 280 and in London only 85 per million. Another popular notion, that suicides are more frequent in November than in other months, is also incorrect. the greatest number of suicides occurring in Ma . June and July. Those who are tired of its or are destitute of the means of supporting it usually hang them- selves. while those who commit suicide from shame. remorse or unrequitted affection, take poison or use firearms. The propor- tion of men to women who commit suicide is as four to one. Another memonal of the successes achievedby the German arms in 1870- 71 has been laytelf set up In Berlin. In 1816 three pieces 0 ordnanceâ€"two mortars and a heavy gunâ€"captured!) the Germans during the campaigns o__1813.15. were plnooa within an iron railing on a small mound opposite the Zeughans‘or arsenal in the Pruesien on ital. as e memento of the glorious issue 0 the war.

Be- havior in the pox-point] revealing of us. Whn u mun does tell: u- wh» he in. Brilish and Foreign. Connected with the Kent. luau-ton and Bran Murders. The lost English mails contain announce. mente ot the «the of three persons inti- mstely connected with the three most sensations] crimes that have agitated London during the last twenty years. Ex-Inspector Jonathan Whicher. who died _ at the go _01_ 77,‘ was one of the first staff of detectives organ- ized in London in 1848. It was he who in 1860 arrested Constance Emile Kent for the murder of her infant step-brother, finding the absence of her nightgown suspicious and insisting that she had taken it from the wash-basket while she had sent the maid who was carrying it for a glass of water. The girl was set at liberty, and Whicher shared with her father the pular opprobrium of the hour; indeed his dismissal was urged in the Commons, but the Home Secretary stood by him, and when three years later he retired it was with full rank and pension. Whicher was isubsequently sent to Russia to reorganize the detective force, and figured in the early stages of the Tichborne case. In 1865, Constance Kent, who had joined an Anglican sisterhood, confessed her crime and justified Whicher’s theory; she was con- demned to death on her confession, but we believe released on Dr. Bucknill's report that she would go mad in confinement. though if Dr. Buoknil had communicatedf'to the authorities the facts, indicating motive and long preparation, which recently he revealed in his Lumleian lecture. she would probably have been executed. It is noteworthy that the “ popular element " never accepted Miss Kent’s confession, but insisted that she had been tortured into .insanity by the Ritualists, or else that she had confessed to save her father 1 The second death was that Patrick Llewellyn Staunton, who with is wife, his brother Louis and Alice Rhodes were sentenced to death in 1877 for starving Louis’ wife to death. The verdict was returned at 11 o’clock of a cold and foggy night, but the adjacent streets were crowded and it was hailed with triumphant yells, while Mr. Justice Hawkins in passing sentence called the risoners’ offence “a crime so dark and ideous that in all the records of crime it would be difficult to find its' parallel.” Just two weeks later Alice Rhodes was given a free pardon and the sentences of the others were commuted. It may be doubted whether under less exciting cir- cumstances the prisoners would not have been acquitted, or at worst convicted of the lower grade of homicide. The third death was that of the father of Mr. Charles Tur- ner Bravo, who died so mysteriously by‘ poisoning with antimony. He had married adashing widow, Mrs. Florence Ricardo, who ‘had maintained irregular relations with Dr. Gully before her second marriage. There was no evulence that these had been renewed, that the Braves were unhappy, that the wife should have desired her husband's death, or that the husband had contemplated suicide. His dying declaration was that he had poisoned himself, but with lauda- num. a drug he could not have taken. Offers of large rewards never produced any testimony as to the person by whom the decanter of Burgundy had been poisoned, or to show that Mrs.‘ Bravo had ever pur- chased any antimony. She died not long ago of alcoholic excesses, leaving Dr. Gully a large sum of money and her jewels. Curiously enough, when the elder Mr. Bravo’s wine cellar was disposed of two years ago some sherry was found in which antimony had been placed, and it came out that the younger gentleman had secretly ‘ ordered some anti-dipsomaniacpowders for his wife. which were composed of antimony. But no definite clue to the Bravo mystery . has ever been discovered. We occasionally meet a man in this world who is under the im ression that if he “ stops his paper " he wi I thus get even with the editor for some supposed injury-â€" maybe it is only a gentle request for sub- scriptions past due. Some business men, or rather men insome business. are labor- ing under the same apparition. Why,don’t these blissful fellows know that when a man “ cuts" his paper it causes no commo- tion with the editor? He is used to it. It is only a proof that his paper is appreciated. \ Aside from that. an editor is very like. an ordinary man. He eats, he drinks” he wears clothes (when he can get themâ€"they may not be the finest, but he wears them all the same), he wears a hat, he eats vegetables, eats bread. eats meat and all other “ indelicacies ” of the season (sometimes eats crow). No, the editor does not go barefooted (unless he has to). Paradoxically speaking. he is a man like any other man ; has feelings like ‘ a man ; likes his friends as any other man, (and as a rule is not less charitable than other men. Now.

Itcostsn ut A MARRIAGE AND A MYSTERY Wedding cl Mlle Cnvcndhh-Bcnu-ck and the But at Strut-en‘s Eldon Son-- The secret cl Gin-l- Optic. The small and old~taahioned church in the little village of Peter-sham (says London Truth) witnessed the marriage. on Saturday atternoonpf Miss Cavendish-Bentinck with Lord Glamis. eldest son of the Earl of Strathmore. which was celebrated by spe~ cial license. The bridegroom is in the Second Life Guards. and the non commie. eioned ofiicers of his troop lined the aisle during the ceremony. and were afterward drawn up in the avenue. The church was crowded with friends and relatives. among whom wore the Duke of Portland. Major General Burnaby and General Lord Mark Kerr. The bride arrived a little after 1 ‘o'clock. in the customary white satin and 1lace. Her wreath of orange blossoms was ‘composed of real flowers. She were no ‘Jewellery. The eight bridesmaids wore iwhite llama. trimmed with cofieecolored lace; and white chi$ hats, with cream colored feathers. road white moire sashes were arranged over the dresses. The bride's bouquet consisted entirely of white flowers. Those of the bridesmaids Were composed of pink roses and stepha- notis. It was a pretty wedding. Some village school girls, dressed in white, strewed the bride’s path with flowers as she left the church. The wedding breakfast was served in a large marquee behind the house. a delightful arrangement on such a hot day. Over the seats of the bride and bridegroom hung a large bell composed entirely of roses of every color. and when l the cake was cut the bell was swung. This marriage recalls to memory the mys- terious chamber that is said to exist in Glamis Castle. What is contained in this chamber and what is the secret connected with it is known alone to the head of the family, his eldest son and the factor of the estate. That there is a closed chamber is unquestionable; it has no window, and it is reached throu h a hole in the ceiling. Equally unquestionably is it that there is a secret connected with ‘it. For my part, adds Mr. Labcuchere‘ I consider that a mystery like this. which has been handed down from father to son for many genera- tions. ought to be made public in order to gratify curiosity which may fairly [be said r{,0 b-éllegitimaie. Were i Lad§ Glamis my husband would have little peace until he confided the secret to me. / A care-worn, plainly dressed woman,‘ with two children clinging to her dress, approached Mr. Healy, G. '1‘. R. policeman, in the Union depot, at Toronto, on Wednes~ day afternoon, and asked him, “ Have you seen anything of my husband?” Mr. Healy, who ‘was not acquainted with her, replied in the negative, and the poor woman, with tears trickling down her cheeks, told the following story: “My name is Mrs. Forbes. and these (pointing to the children) are mine. We were burned out at the Woodbridge fire, and being left penniless my husband decided to come to Toronto to seek work. We arrived in the city nearly two weeks ago and have since been boarding at the house of Mr. Johnson, King street west. My husband told me on Tuesday to pack up our effects, as he had decided to o to Detroit, where he said work was p entiful.‘ We came down yes- terday, and my husband excused himself, saying that he would be back in a few ‘minntes, as a special train was leaving for ‘Detroit at 4 o’clock. He has not since returned. and I don’t know what to do." Mr. Healy told Mrs. Forbes to sit quietly in the waiting-room and he would make inquiries about her husband. He learned that Forbes had purchased a ticket and had left for Chicago by the 3.30 Great Western express. Mr. Heal then told the deserted one what he had earned. Mrs. Forbes produced from her pocket-book a way-bill for two boxes of baggage which her husband had sent on. but‘ instead of the way~bill being marked Detroit. as she anticipated, it bore the mark of “Boltbn,” and was addressed to Forbes‘ mother, who lives there. Mrs. Forbes, who can give no reason for her husband’s strange conduct, left by the T. G. a B. express for Bolton yesterday afternoon to try and recover the property from her mother-in-law. “ Here is a good authorityâ€"Albert Smith. You may possibly have heard him state the same thing. and it may be mentioned in his ‘ Story of Mont Blano.’ ‘ When I arrived at the Grands Mulets I took asmall square of chocolate and wrapped it round With snow and swallowed it, and found it most refreshing and invigiorating.’ Snow is not portable, but ohooo ate in, and has the merit of not blowing up when heated, like the ammonia that anglers carry about with them tenure the midgebitee: An always thirsty but very temperate man exhorts as follows: 7 A _ “ Never touch spirits under any circum- stances.
