Situation In a letter from a correspondent of the Daily News. describing a visit to the Enga- dine. the following occurs : . A new route has been established this year to Switzerland. Leaving London at 10 em. you find yourself in the afternoon at Calais; there you take a train direct to Bale. I had invested the sum of eighteen shillings in a ticket for a sleeping car. This car consists of compartments contain- ing either two or four couches. The wuch to which my ticket gave me a right was, I found, in one of the compartments licensed to carry four. Three ladies alrefy were there when I entered it. To sayt at I was received cordially would be an exaggera- tion. The ladies felt that I was an intruder. and. to say the truth. being my- self a somewhat bashful man, I felt so too. I took my seat. The ladies whispered to each other, and eyed me asdid the nymphs by the streams of Hellae when a shepherd broke in upon their natatory exercises. I essayed a remark or two about the weather and other commonplaces. The responses were monosyllabic. In the daytime, these compartments have only two couches facing each other. At night two others are arranged overhead, like berths in a ship. We had passed Amiens, when the attendant entered with a number of sheets in his hand. The ladies looked aghastâ€" so did I. Oneâ€"an elderly spinsterâ€" supposed that I was not going to remain, and thus prevent her and her com anions from taking the rest for which t ey had paid. A blush suffused my cheek, but I. plucked up sufiicient courage to hint that I too had parted with coin of the realm in order to enjoy a like repose. After scheme of “ Well, I‘ never i" it was finally agreed that I should retire into the passage until the ladies had 1 got into their beds, and drawn the curtains ‘ before each of the bowers. To this I assented, and having paced the passage for about half an hour, returned. All the cur- tains were drawn. “ I hope you are not undressing '2" proceeded from behind the curtain c an elderly spinster.

An hour before that time m rest was dis. turbed by shrill cries from hind the our: tains. I was sternly ordered to get up and to go at once into the corridor in order that the nymphs might also rise. “ No, ladies,” I answered. “I mean to remain in bed until we arrive. Get up without fear, and trust to the innate chivalry of the humble male who now addresses you. He pledges his word of honor not to poop through the partin in his curtain." So they got up. and I id not look. My experiences of this night led me to suggest that in sleeping- cars the sexes shoul be placed apart. and that there should be a separate compart- ment for men and another for women. instead of the present eclectic arrange- A u: v-u â€"_ _.._ V, Y 0183:). ‘1th h M o , on a me ow m r o t'hemx-tym mined.

China must be the seat and centre of commercial honor. crediting the averments of Sir Samuel Baker, the famous traveller. He says such a thing‘as a business suspen- sion in the American or European sense ls rarely known in that country. and that when one does occur, other merchants voluntarily come forward to help the em- barrassed trader out of his difficulties. A sentimental fellow at Wrightstown. Minn, wrote to a girl that he would hang himself if she did not marry him. As he was a stranger, she took his queer missive ,,-_1:-J .........€ln "DD a untuuavn, uuv 'vuâ€" .._._ 1, as an insulting joke, and replied angrily that he would please her greatly by choos- mfilthe tree which grew near 'the window of or room. When she looked out next morning there hung his lifeless body. Two prisoners were charged in a London police court with exchanging sentences of imprisonment by each answering to the other's name.

Mbsvidson of Tullooh, who died last month in Scotland in his 82nd year. was the Count d’Orsay of _I_Iig_hls.nd life fifty One of the oddest cases that ever came before a court was tried in Boston a few days ago. It was an application for divorce. The applicant, the wife, testified that in 1872 her husband induced herto join “ The Elijah Message Association.” the head of which was a party who claimed tobe the resurrected prophet. When 140,000 believers were collected the leader was to conduct them to Georgia, there to found a kingdom of heaven. The woman’s husband had been appointed one of the “ witnesses.” Among the hopes held out was that of never dying. The crazy crowd came to grief. hence the application referred to. It is rather a remarkable coincidence that just as Hughenden Manor is let the seat of Disraeli’s old antagonist, another Prime Minister. is advertised on lease. The present Sir Robert Peel, who seems. after a stormy. youth. to be sinking into a very calm, if not obscure, maturity adver- tises Drayton Manor. The late Robert. mindful of many escapades on the part of his firstborn, tied up his property in the strictest possible manner. The present baronet has a villa on the Lake of Geneva. where he has spent much of his time of late vears, havxng never taken kindly to the life of a country gentleman. Edenderry. Ireland, was lately the scene of a demonstration on the occasion of drawing home the turf of an incarcerated tenant. At 9 am. 3.000 carts were assem- bled under the direction of a mounted curate. The Edenderry carts. 850. headed the procession. After them came 20 little boys, in green and oran e, mounted on asses. The drivers of t e 3.(I)O carts fought for the honor of carrying a sod. Prior to these proceedings the prisoner's nephew inaugurated the demonstration by driving roun the farm in a basket carriage drawn by six spirited beasts, and that number of juvenile outriders in green ‘livery. An exhibition is in progress in London showin the career of the straw hat from the fled to the fashionable store. The workers are all from Luton Beds.a town of 25,000 people. of whom it is computed that 24,000 are in some way or other connected with the straw trade. The business at Luton dates from 1605. when a colony of straw plaiters. who had emigrated from Lorraine to Scotland. settled at Luton in view of the superior straw raised in the district. Aparticular sort of knife used in splittin straw was invented by one of the Frenc prisoners detained in England early in the century. An exchange thus sums up the proportion of "good " and " hard times :" During s period c! sixty~ei§ht years there have been eighteen years 0. "good times " and fifty years of “ herd times." The good times were the periods 1812 to 1816. 1834 m1837. 1853 to 1866. and 1862 to 1869. In each there was a great increase in the quantity of money. The fifty years of “ hard times " are remarkable for the enormous contrac- tion of the money volume and the incresse in its vslue. During the eighteen years of “ good times " industry prospered. and money loaning was at a. discount. but dur- ing the fifty yesrs of “hard times" labor laud production languished. and money i loaning wee at s premium.

By this time the relatives of the victims began to gather outside the building, and the cries of mothers outside to their children still in the burning rooms, and their lamentations over those who jumped out, were heartrending. When the firemen ‘were able to enter the building lthey found on the third floor the bodies of two females burned almost to a crisp, and a man badl scorched and dead; but before they coul search further the fourth floor, with its heavy machinery, came crashing through, and they barely escaped with their lives. The firemen were compelled to desist from their labors because the floors had gone through to the ground, and machinery, charred wood and what remained of the unfortunate opera. tives were mingled in one unrecognizable mass, which was sending out columns of steam as the cold water was poured on it. The victims were carried off in all direo~ tions, some to their homes, some to houses clbse by, and others to various hospitals, so that their exact number cannot yetbestated. The physicians say that nearly every case admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital has ended fatally. The total deaths will probably exceed twenty. George Daugherty, who jumped from the fourth storey, died in the hospital this morning. From Brazil comes a story of a mulatto woman having died at the age of 187 years. Just as the Goth was “ butchered to make a Roman holiday," so this unfortunate old colored lady seems to have been killed to furnish forth a newspaper Serigraph. This is a pity, because she woul have answered the urpose just as well in a couple of hun- dre years' time. it the newspapers telling the tale could have had patience to wait” She is said to have lost her sight at the age of 100, but to have recovered it some- what later. Her death was brought about by a fall from a bench. so that there is really no knowing how long she might have lived it the Brazil paper had not arranged the 1 fatal fall. The subject of longevity is always being disputed. some persons being credulcus of all sorts of wonders and others being as sceptical as the late Sir G. Corne- wall Lewis.

Tall Stories of old Axe. FIRE HORROR. Al legs for filmy. it will be remembered that a diabolical attempt at outrage was perpetrated at Kin ton on the person of Annie Campbell. 16. on the morning of the 15th of September. by a notorious character named Jack Coulter. son of a Mrs. Coulter who kept a house of ill~fame there. The young gir had been sent by her employer from Glenburnie to the city. and when opposite the lime-kiln. near the Kingston 4: Pem~ broke Railroad crossing. she was accosted by Coulter. who endeavored by coaxing and bribes to induce her to accompan him down a lonel street. Failing in is the ruffian se' her round the waist, pitched her over the fence. and then dragged her along the ground to a secluded spot. Her screams brought a gentleman who was pass- ing to the rescue. Caulter's face was covered with blood from the blows which the heroic girl had administered in her desperate resistance. She was in apitiable condi- tion. Besides being covered with blood and dirt, her clothing was torn toshreds and she was suffering from exhaustion and nervous prostration. Coulter was promptly arrested and denied having had anything to do with the girl. Coulter was brought before Police Magistrate Dnfi at Kingston two days afterwards. on the 17th. and found guilty of the heinous crime of attempting to com- mit rape on Ann Campbell on the day mentioned. He was severely admonished as to the crime and sentenced‘to one year and 360 days in the Central Prison and to receive forty-sight lashes with a sate-nine- tails. twenty-four at the expiration of one month. the other twenty-four at the end of six months. In accordance with the above sentence, twentydour lashes were administered to Coulter at the Central Prison at 9 o'clock yes. terday morning. The prisoner was stripped and placed on the triangle.

His cries‘ were unheeded, and again and again the blows fell with redoubled force. while the victim continued his cries for mercy. After the floggingwas over the prisoner‘s back was bleeding. the skin being broken, and he was taken to the prison hospital, where a cloth saturated with oil was placed over his back and he was ordered to do light work for the remainder of the day. Two other prisoners who were pre- viously flogged at the prison acknowledged after the punishment was administered that they deserved it, but Coulter was of a different opinion. and showed by his gonduct the cowardly rufiian he is at eart.
