Mr. Mung Koon, merchant, [of Montreal, who was naturalized as a British subject in 1886 and has resided in Canada for five years, is very indignant because the United States authorities will not allow him to proceed to New York to attend to his busi- ness. He is anxious to test the case in the law courts if that is possibie. After hearing conneel representing the Canadian Pacific railway, the Fuller estate, and the city of Toronto, Mr. Pope on Satur- kw decided to make 'the order expropriet~ ing certain water lots for the railway. It is pfoposed tlut the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk have a union station in Toron to, and use each other's lines.

A terrible railway accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley railway near Mud Run station, Pa., on Wednesday night. A large excursion party was being carried home in trains following each other at short intervals. One of these trains ran into another with disastrous effect. Fifty-five persons were killed outright. The number of wounded is very large, probably amounting 130500, With 15!) of that number seriously injured. Dr. Alfred Williams, coloured astor of the Antioch coloured church in E gewood, some time ago formed a co-operetive store among the parishioners, and acted as store- keeper.

It is understood Empress Frederick hue goatpo poned her Eng llah viuc until after Prof. efinoke' a trial, as she 15 resolved to remain in Berlin to prevent the suggestion that. she ran away. The Pall Mall Gazette challenges the German authorities to carry out the threat of instituting proceedings to prevent the publication in London of the late Emperor Frederick's tyranny. Spesking at Leeds on Wednesday night Lord Rosebery said that if England wished to retain her colonies she must admit them to a larger share in promoting the influence of England in foreign affairs. Cardinal Moran, in sending £50 to the Parnell fund, said that he desired to add his mite to enable the Irish party to defend itself from the vile aspersions the enemies of Ireland have sought to cast upon her. Dmiel Goulding, formerly a warden in Tullimore goal, has been arrested on a. charge of perjury in having deposad tho: he had maltreated John Mandeville while in prison by order of the Governor of the goal. It is stated that Dre. Bergmann and Ger- hardt will bring actions for libel in the Eug- lish courts against Dr. Mackenzie for the statement) made in his beak regarding their treatment of the late Enperor Fred- erick.

The famous toad which was dug out alive from o stratum of clay belonging to the ghcisl period died at tho end of three days. A local surgeon cut a slit across the mem. brsne which closed the tcsi‘s mouth. in order to feed it, and the poor bstiechisn had not enough vitality to bear the opera- tion. Much Interest is manifested in the teed, which has been preserved in alcohol in the Grecnock Museum. Dr. J., late of Aberdeen, was aman oi pawky humor, and one of the most inveter- ate “ beggars" for charitable purposes who ever got up a subscription list. He called one morning on a Wealthy merchant in Aberdeen whom he had successfully can- vassed on more than one occasion, and, hav- ing recounted the mietortunes of a widow whcee husband had been killed by a fall from the cuff, asked for a cheque on her behalf. “Well, doctor," said the merchant “ I’ll give you the sum you ask for on on one condition, namely; that you’ll allow me inscribe on your tombstone the words, ‘And it came to_pa_sa the beggar died.’ " ‘rw‘fllfhgli," repli-od the dooifir, with a laugh, " But you must add the rent of the verse, ‘A nd wu carried by tho ungaln Into Abraham's bonom.

The old is everywhere giv- ing place to the new. “ Western ideal and methods are coming in with resistless push.” Customs which have doubtless clung to these historic lands for 2,000 years are one after another dropping out of sight forever. The writer in question, Mr. Henry W. Hul- bert, thinks it a moderate statement to say that the last twenty-five years have seen more transformations in this part of the East than the many centuries which have gone before, and urges that something! should soon be done to photograph, for the benefit of future generations, the old life and ways which will soon exist only in memory. As one instance, Mr. Hulbert says that twenty- lfive years ago all the older women of the Druza scct were a long silver or tin horn on the head, covered with a veil, which also en- veloped the face with the exception of one eye. But during the last two years he has visited every section of the Lebanon range inhabited by Druzas and has never seen a " horned woman.” Not only so, but a long search in Syria recently failed to find such a horn for a gentleman who wished it for an Amrican museum, and the agent had final. ly to have one manufactured at Beirut for the purpose. A lady friend of Mr. Hulbsrt‘s who lately attended a Drum Wedding at Aheih, on Mount Lebanon, found the bride dressed in the htest Parisian fashitns. , Another illustration of the change going on is the recent erection by a Wealthy German of a new mill for grinding grain near the Damascus gate of Jerusalem. This mill, imported from Manchester, England, con- tains the latest improved apparatus and is run b gas generated from petroleum. There s every indication that the old hand. mills, which date from Bible da s, will soon be entirely superseded, as will a the time- honoursd method of threshing grsia by driving cattle round and round the thresh- You've a little wife at home. thn, As sweet u you'd mat: to see; As (Ai‘htul end gentle-hearted.

Next, one will slowly rise to its feet, round up its back, and stretch itself, survey its comrades to select the one which seems most comfortable, and then, actuated by that perversity of disposition we so often see and \ anathematiza in the human early riser, pro- ceed to stir it up with hoof and horn, until it too gets upon its legs and joins in the game. go A. - D,,L ,_J l-‘ll__ 2..

It existed in Saxon times, when Cmser landed. It existed in Saxon times. when the household work was done by slaves. The Sxaons were notorious slave deeleres, Ssmuel Smiles, in his note book called "Thrift,” s_aya: and the Ir sh were their best customers. The principa mart was at Bristol, from whence the Saxons exported large numbers of slaves into Ireland, so that aczording‘ to Irish historians, there was scarcely a house in Ireland withouta British slave in it. “’hen the Normaus took possession of England they continued slavery. From that time slavery continued in various forms. It is recorded oi the “good old itimes” that it was not till the reign of Henry IV, ([399 1413) the villeins. farmers and mechanics Were permitted by law to put their children to school, and long after that they dared not educateason for the church without a license from the lord. The kings of England, in their contest-s with the feudal aristocracy, gradually relaved the slave laws. They granted charters founding royal burghs, and when the slaves fled int) them and were ahle way u.â€" . -â€" to conceal themaelvs for a year and a day they then became freemen of the burh and were declared by law to be iree. The last eel-fl in England were emancipated in the reign of Qlcen Eliszcth, buI the last serfs in Scotland were not emancipated until the reign of George III, at the end of the lent century. Before then the colliern and ealtera belonged to the soil, and were bought and sold with it. They had no power to determine what their wages should What a curious thing it is to think that that wonderinl new baby will tum into a common lace old baby in a year or twoâ€" that witfi the advent of number two his reign In over.

The crown worn by the bride is re srded as the one which decked the heag of the Queen of Sheba. According to the native records, it has been in the possession of the Ethiopian kings for twenty-five centuries. The librarian and secretary of Shake- speare's birthplace thinks that he has found fragments of a missing Shakespearean drama called “ Irus ” in a book of dramatic quota- tions of the time of Elizabeth. The title is found on a page headed “ Pl. Shaksp.” Mr. Savage thinks he detect: “ an unmistakable Shakespearean ring " in various passages, as, for example : “ The faults of many are buried in their humor :" “ Your heart is great- er than your person ;" “ Dearer than the pomegranate of my eye," 0. Mr. Savage is regarded as a little impuls- ive. It’s pretty well known that Mr. Glad- stone is a great talker, and quite apt to mono polizs conversation on most. occasions. One day he sent for a nobleman, who is very fully posted on the Eastern question. The young man went, and the next day was congratulated b a friend on the impres- sion that he ha made on the Grand Old Man. “ Mr. Gladstone says that he never met. any one who knew so much about. the Caucasus." The young man smiled. “I was with him two hours," said he, “and never opened my mouth." It is asserted in a London sper that the discovery made by Mr. ewett in the artificial manufacture of quinine will result in the reduction of the price of that article to a few cents per pound. The importance of this discovery is rendered greater by the fact that, while hitherto dependence ha been on the cultivation of the cinchone tree for quinine, the bark yielding only about 2 per cent of the same, the new process admit: of the substance being produced without limit from an article which can always be got in abundance in any part of the world.

Failure after long perseverance is much better than never to have atriven and so have incurred failure. Tho great thinker is seldom diapntant. He answers other men's arguments by stating the truth as he sees it. Talent is power; tech is will. Talent makes a man respectable, tact makes him reapeczed. Talent commands ; teeth obeyed. What can a man do more than “die" for his countrymen? “Live" for them. It in 3 longer work, and therefore a more difficult and nobler one.

The shortest and the surest way of arriv- ing at real knowledge is to unlearn the lea eons we have been gtang ht, to remount to fifiet principlw and take gnobody' a word about t em. As by flattery a man is usually brought to open his bosom to his mortal enemy, so by detraction and a slanderous mlsreporl: of person he is often brought to shut the same even to his best and dearest friend. So fer from duty and happiness being an- tagonlete, the are necessary each to each for their per eot development. There can never be a just and true and righteous life where the element of happiness is ignored or oontemned, end there never can be true happiness where a life of duty in scorned or nvoided. Children should be taught, so far as they are permitted to concern themselves with the character of those around them, to seek faithfully for good, not to lie in welt malici- ously to make themselves merry with evil: they should be too painfully sensitive to wrong to smile at it, and too modest to constitute themselves its judges.
