- .1 i rw THE GEEHAIX AKMT. )racoiiic Sentence Imposed on Two Soldiers. A draconic sentence has been paas- }d by a court-martial siltiny at Ctjb- lenz, CJerniany, on two rillcnuin, who, irefisi'd in .civilian clothes, the better to avoid recognition, had slipped out of their quarters and, under cover of darknoEs, gone to a village restaur- ant, wliere they knew would find a certain con-commissioned ofiicer, against whom they bore a giudire. Seeing him lilting inside, thoy threw a stoneware pitcher and a piece of wood through tiie window at him, thoug-h without doing any injury. The court-martial found the accus- ed guilty of participation in a mili- tary revolt, and sentenced one to six years' imprisonment and degradation and the other to five years' ha-d labor, expulsion from the army ani five years' loss of all civil rights. No allowance v\as made for the elevr-n months .he men had been in custody awaiting trial. The sentence has created great a=- tonishment. and is com.pared wit.*! the clemency so frequently shown by courts-martial to non-commissioned officers proved guilty of treating pri- vates with gross brutaility.

K barrister named Buslie was trying e case in Limerick before Chief Baron O'Grady, when, in the course of the lawyers speech, an ass began to bray loudly outside tlie court-room, the win- dow of wliich opened on a pasture. "Wait a minute," Kiid the Chief Bar- on. "One at a lime, Mr. Bushe, if you please." The barrister presently hnd a good chance to retort. When O'Crady \v:is charging; the jury the ass again Ijegan lo bray, this time at a greater distance from the a)urt-room wirtdow. "I beg your Loi-Jships pardon," said Bushe. "Stay I ask you to repeat your last woi-ds? There is such an ivho here I did not quite calcli your last sen- tence." THE SHAKESPE.VRE GAUPEN. The estate of the Coimtess of War- wick, in rissex, possesses a most unique feature. In one i)art of the grountls is what is known as tbe "Shakespeure Horder." This include every flower, shrub^ and vegetable mentioned ia the works of Shakes- peare. The collection comprises ovt-r two hundred species, and every speci- men is labelled, not only with its botanic name, but ilso with t!iO quotation from the pla.v in which it is mentioned. Altogether it is a quite unique reprod\iction of the gar- ilon and lloral history of the six- teenth century. niis extensive col- lection does not include either the forget-me-not, the holly-hock, the fo.x-glove, or the lily-of-thi>-valIey: lor students of Shakespeare will lock in vain for mention of these favorite flowers in the whole of his works. £q«all7' ^ood with hard or soft water. -ILav** Ba«MIa««« X.Itnit«4l.
