Two hotels were recently burned at Win- nipeg. Loss, 160,000. The Dominion Government have promised a large subsidy for the Gatineau Railway. By the flooding of a mine in Creswick, Victoria, Australia, twenty persons were drowned. Sixty persons have been killed by the ex- plosion of a magazine at Guayaquil, South America. China is establishing defence armaments on a large scale and massing troops on the Rus- sian frontier. The Argentine Confederation has taken possession of territory c'.aimed by Brazil, and both countries are preparing for war, A suitable location on the Saskatchewan Pi-iver has been granted by the Dominion Government to a company who propose to wash for gold. In order to relieve the great destitution in the southern provinces of Spain it is pro- posed to spend a large sum in public improve- ments. The city of Athens. Greece, will confer its freedom upon Mr. Gladstone on the occasion of his tiftieth anniversary of his entering Parliament. While Chili and Peru are as far as ever from making peace, there is every possibili- ty of a speedy termination of kcsjtilities be- tween Chili aud Bolivia. The Imperial Government decline to order the construction of any relief works in Ire- land during the coming winter. They will depend on the Board of Guardians to look after the matter. A motion will be ir.troduced in the Span- ish Cortes declaring that the present con- stitution satisfies the requirements of the nation, and the aspirations for liberty. VoJlmar, the Socialist Deputy, declared in the German Reichstag that the Socialists would not be induced by ttifling concessions to abate anything of their demands. The Mennonites, of Southern Manitoba, have been subjected to a species of boycot- ting by the grain buyers of Emerson and West Lynne, and as a result their position is becoming a hard one. Further particulars of the recent fire at Kingston, Jamaica, places the loss at three millions sterhng. Four hundred stores andall the warehouses, wharves and stores were consumed, and five lives were lost. At the Elgin County Court recently a prisoner was acquitted of stealing a watch, although the evidence was conclusive agamt him. Commenting upon the verdict, his Honour Judge Hughes said he had never seen a clearer case, and believed the jury had been tampered with. The Grand jury of Frontenac have expres- sed approval of the County Judge's remarks in favour of corporal punishment for juvenile offenders, but add a rider suggesting that where the children are led into crime by their parents the latter receive the lash in- stead of their offspring. The last strike at Montreal has been re- newed. The men returned to work for one day, but when they were asked to give a written pledge not to interfere with their employers in selecting workmen in future they refused, and again went out in a body. The famous Hampton Court Palace narrow- ly escaped destruction by fire recently. The conflagration broke out in a suite of private rooms above the celebrated picture gallery, the conteuts of which were greatly damaged by water. The magnificent ceiling painting in Queen Anne's bedroom, and many other works of art of great value, were seriously damaged. One of the inmates was barned to death. A settlement of the difficulties arising from the co-education of the sexes at the "Royal Medical College, Kingston, has not yet been reached. The students, in reply to a com- promise offered by the faculty, have present- ed their ultimatum, which requires that no more females be admitted, and that the fe- males now studying be compelled to finish their eouise by takmg summer sessions, and that the two sexes hereafter be kept separ- ate. A rumour was current late last even- ing that the Gordian knot had been severed by the ladies withdrawing from the Col- lege. In speeches delivered lately Lord Derby and Mr. Forster both declared against Home Rule for Ireland. Two important ar- rests have been made as Dublin in connec- tion with the late assassination of Lord F. Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke. Mr. Pamell has taken advantage of the legisla- tion of last session to sell his estate in order to give the tenants an opportunity to become owners. By the destruction of the co-ope- rative stares at Dublin it is feared that the caretaker and his family were consumed. â€"Ill B»»| I I The World's Population. In the seventh volume of '• Die Bevolke- rung der Erde," we find that the earth, on a space of 136.038,87-2 gq-.are kilometres counts 1,433.887,500 inhabitants, making on an average 10. 5 inhabitants to every square kilometre. Europe is the most thickly populated portion, with 34 inhabi- tants for every square kilometre, then AsTa with 18, Africa with seven, Atnericawith 6, and Australia and Polynesia with 0. 5. Of European States, Belgium comes first with 188 inhabitants per square kilometre, the Xetherlands witli 123, Great Britaia 'with 112, the Azores with 106, Italy with 99, San Marmo with 91, Germany with 84, Luxem- bourg with 81, France with 71, Switzerland with 69, Austria with 61, Leichtenstein and Denmark with 51, Portugal with 45, Rou- mania with 41, Servia with 35, Spain with 33, Bulgaria and Greece with 31, Montenegro and Turkey with 26, Bosnia and Heregovina with 22, Russia with 17, Sweden with 10 Norway with 6, and Finland with 5.

Tbe Fiery Stage ^How ZKnK in CooUas. tlio Eartli It has been shove that had past ceologi- cal changes in the earth taken place at the same rate as those which are now inproKresi 100,000,000 of years at the very least would have been required to produce those effects which have actually been produced, we find, since tbe earth's surface was fit to be the abode of life. But recently it has been pointed out, correctly in all probability, that under the great tide-raising power of the moon in past ages, these changes would have taken place more rapidly. As, however, certainly 10,000,000 of years, and probably a much longer time, must have elapsed sines the mcon was at that favorable distance for raising tides, we are by no uieas enabled, as some well-meaning but mistaken persons have imagined, to reduce the life bearing stage of the earth from a duration of 10,000,000 of years to a minute fraction of such peri- od. The short life, but exceedinsdly lively one, which they desire to see established by geological or astronomical reasoning, never can be demonstrated. At the very least we niUit assign 10,000,000 years to the life-bear- ing stage of the earth's existence. If we now multiply this period by seven for Jupi- ter we get a period of 00,000,000 years long- er. But take t'nc stage preceding that of bfe on the earth. From the researches of Bis- choffinto the cooling of masses of heated rock, it seems to follow that a period cf more than 300,000,000 years must have been re- quired for the cooling of the earth from a tempsrature uf 2,000 â- = csn.iigrade tj one of 100=' a cooling which has certainly taken place. Suppose, however, that these experi- ments, or the calculations based on them, were vitiated by some error so considerable as to increase the real duration of the fiery stage of our earth's history more than ten- fold, the real duration of that period being only 30,000,000 years. Multiply this in turn by 7, and we get a period of 210,000,000 years, or 180,000,000 years longrtr. We ought next to consider the vaporous stage but the evidence on which to form an opinion as to the duration of this stage of a planet's history is too slight to be the basis of actual calculation. Here, as Tyndall has well re- marked, "conjecture must entirely cease." But, by consideriug only two stages â€" the fiery stage and the life-b;aring, or rather that portion of the life-bearing stage through which the earth has hitherto passedâ€" we find the two monstrous time differences- ISO, 000, 000 aud 60,000,000, or 240,000,000 years in all, Tney mean that, if our assump- tion as to the effect of Jupiter's superior mass is correct, then, supposing Jupiter and the earth to have started into existence as dis- tinct orbs at the same or nearly the same time, 240,000,000 years must elapse before Jupiter will reach the stage of planetary life throusth which our earth is now passing. Whether the assumption be correct or not, the time differences between the stages of Jupiter's life and the earth's are of this order They must be measured by tens ot millons if not by hundreds of millions of years. We must note, however, that the 240,000,000 years correspon-'.with only a seventh part of that time mthe earth's history so that we may say that, if our assumptions are correct, Jupiter would now be in the state in which our earth was 34,000,000 years ago, or near- er the beginning than the end of the fiery stage.â€" Proctor, in Belgravia. Canada Victorious. From papers and private letters received by the last Pacific mail from Honolulu, cap- ital of the Sandwich Islands, we obtain ac- counts of events in boat racing which ought to be of much interest to Canadians, showing as they do that our oarsmen, amateur as well as professional, can take care of the re- putation of their country in any part of the world. The occasion was a grand regatta held in celebration of the forty-sixth birthday of his Majesty, King Kalakaua. Vast crowds thronged tne wharves and swarmed in the rigging of vessels to view tbe races. One of the principal contests was a six- oared gig raceâ€" first prize, the Queen's cup and SlOO second prize, §50. There were four entries, including a crew from the frigate "Alaska," of the United Stites navy and one from the Canadian mechanics' era- ployed in constructing a marine railway iu the harbor of Honolulu, The Canadians rowed m a boat b longing to the king, call- ed the "Kapuaala," which signifies a certain sweet smelliug tiower of thelslands, and all the boa s are described in a losal paper as being fine, with splendid looking crews Tae marine railway crew obtained choice of positions, each boat strove for first place at the start, and each took it in turn At a short distance all had settled down to an average stroke of about forty to the min- ute. Outside the harbor, where the trade wind blowmg pretty briskly made a wabbly sea, the marine railway crew drew gradnally ahead and kept there throughout the race beating the second boat by 27 sec. the third oy 1 mm. 23 sec, and the fourth (he Ameri- can) by 1 mm. 30 sec. The report in a Hono- lulu paper says "the marine railway boya felt verygood over their success, and announ- ced that they would 'pull around a little' to warm themselves up for their second effort later in the day. The 'Alaska' boys were somewhat chagrined at the result of the race but consoled themselves with the reflection that everybody couldn't be last ' The winners are AH osntiCH's msT.

To do this it squats upon the ground, and balancing itself upon its ster- num, it scratches up the earth with its legs and throws the sand behind it. When it has dug out enough on one side to suit it, it turn around and begins to dig on another side, and coitinups this operation until it has made a bole large enough to sit in coxsti' fortably. This nest is elliptical in shape, and is about 0.25 meters deep, 1 meter wide, and li mttcrs long. A few days, after the nest is finished the femaie begins to lay one egg on every alternate day for eighteen or twenty days. She then rests for a while, which time varies from four to ten days, and then begins to lay more. A pair of ostrich yield forty eggs. This is only the minimum number, which is always reached. It is not unusual for a well led, well kept pair to yield fifty and even sixty eggs. These eggs are placed 80 as to leave no spaces between them. They are sat upon at first for several hours each day, and final y altogether. The male and the female brood alternately. At night the male is aiwjys on the nest, as it possesses greater warmth than the female. When the birds relieve each other on the the nest, the new comer turns over each egg, iu order that the portion which has lam against the nest shall receive the warmth of the brooder. These birds perform their duties with the greatest skill, without any noise or bre; kage of the eggs. They squat down and with their head and neck rake up and overturn evei-y one of the eggs, ons after the other, without neglecting a single one. The incubation lasts lorty-five days on an average, sometimes fifty days, but never continues beyond that. When the chickens hatch out they can be heard trying to break the shell of the eggs. Sometimes they suc- ceed in doing so, but usually the father breaks the egg under his breast bone, and seizing with his bill the inside skin tears it and frees the chickling. Upon first reaching the air the chickling remains limp and weak. But the warmth of the parents soon revives it, and a fetv hours afterwards it be- gins to run about the nest, exercising its long legs, tottling over at each step, and re- commei-cing again its stumbling journey. Four da\ s after their hatching the chickens begin to eat. They run after insects and swallow small pebbles. The father and moth- er do not help their little ones find food. •v-.'W â- :iS:- '-â- ^V-Ss Close Shuts. One or two cases of very narrow escapes from death by a bullet occur to me. During the KafSr war, which Ihave already alluded to, I several times accompanied large par- ties of troops sent out to intercept or pur. sue bodies of the enemy, or to destroy kraals or capture cattle. We never succeeded in intercepting or o vet taking Kafirs unless thy were lu strong parties and desirfed to fight, and, as we marched along by day, the Kaf- firs, in loose order and in parties of two and three, would hang on our banks and rear showing themselves upon the high ground' but keepmg out of range of our muskets. One night toof of us were sitting cross-leg- ged round a little fire, on which we had put our coffee kettle to boil, and, as we thus sat, a report, followed by the ring of a bullet close over our heads, warned us that Kafirs were prowling about. This was followed by several other shots, which struck the ground quite close to us but we were tired, and cold and hungry, having no food all day and we were unwilling to lie down to sleep on the bare ground, with empty stomachs. We therefore determined, in spite of danger, to keep the fire burning till the coffee was ready and to hurry this one of us stooped down to blow the fire with his mouth, when another shot settled the matter, for a bullet passing between two of us smashed the ket- tle and scattered the embers about the head of the one who was blowing the fire. How close the bullet pajted to his head may be imagined, for it touched his hair. There was nothing to be done but to stamp all the embersout, roll ourselves in our cloaks, and light our pipes to keep down the crav! ings ot hunger. At the relief of the resid- ency of Lucknow ihe colonel of my regimcLt had two very narrow escapes. As he was cantering from one position to another, the .K " aa}^ '"'" "'"' ^i°i a little out ot the saddle every now and then, and just at the moment when he was raised out of tbe saddle a bullet passed below him, telZ the leather open along the whole seat cf the saddle.

A^y part of London or Paris would shew as great avariety. In fact, I should be inclined to back a J.ondon «• Blue-coat" School" bey against anything in Holland, as not only be- ing more downright picturesque, but also more hietorically correct and interesting to a student of costume. He means something. I do wish, however, that the Blue coat boy himself could only know how well the real cap of the period would go with the rest of the dress, acd wear it bravely. No, he wodld rather go bare beaded all the days of his life, in the wildest weather, than stand the street gamin comparins' his head-gear to a "muffin." His patron Edward "VI. wore one of the same shape. But what would the London street boy say to the costume of half-orphan schools of Amsterdam Some sad humorist of philanthropic turn, in years gone by, thought it a neat idea to make the children of the school dress forever after in a party-colored dress of black and red. I have no doubt that he saw in it some fitting re- minder oi their half-orphaned condition if they were grotesquely pied up and down witti these two striking contrascs, The "Aan Spraaker" is also, to the inno- cent stranger, more of an object of amuse- ment than his grewsome and serious office in- tended him for. He is a quick-moving in- dividual, rushing from house to house, bear- ing tidings of deaths and births. He is clad in black cloth citizen's costume of the last century, cocked hat, white streamer behind flying in the wind if his message is of birth (some subtle sub-meaning also conveyed of sex as well, I fancy), a black streamer if of death. His knee-breeches, black stockings, and shoes with' great silver buckles make him rather a striking figure as he cuts along the streets on his momentous errands. He always struck me as having left something important behind him at home.and as hurry ing back for it with all his might. As a picturesque object, or as an expression by means of outward show of his serious mission he struck us as being somewhat of a failure. â€" George H Boughton, in Harper's Maga- zine Jor Januanj.

There are some fine minds left here. One of these belongs to the butler of a friend of mine, whose faculty of discriminating was only equalled by his love of rule. My friend is an eminent surgeon, at the head of his branch of the prof ession, very wealthy and fond of entertaining his friends. His butler was of the old and faithful retainer variety and knew his work perfectly. When his master told nim he was going to have com- pany to dinner he coolly asked who the peo- ple were. Then he would recollect that Mr. X. liked codfish or Mr. Y. curry, and debate the menu by items. The only diflSculty was about wine. The master has a magnificent cellar and likes to give everybody the best of everything, but the butler did not see things in that light. When his master had ordered certain wines from choice bins his zealous custodian would say "Ardly, sir, I think, the '40 or '47 port to-night. The company won't understand it. Sir. SojiC- thing fruitier would suit them quite as well. This would occur whenever no special con- noisseurs of port wine were coming, and was well enough, but sometimes the butler went too far. One day the eminent surgeon was giving a dinner to his assistants and dressers at the hospital, and ordered a fine dinner with the best wine. The port was protest- ed against. "For them young gents, sir '" was asked in an appealing tone. This point was yielded, and the victor then ob- jected to the champage "Perrier Jouet tres sec would be quite throwed away, sir. There is some of that lot you bought the other day would do just as well, ' â- " "But what," roared the master, "am I to drink I can give my guests wine I won't dunk myself," "Which yoa might pass it, sir, for once." was the reply '^champagne ain't good for you, sir, leastways every day," This was trop de ze.'e, and my surgeon friend parted with his chief butler, to my profound regret for the new man knows not Joseph, and will allow all the best bins to be wasted on women and boys, instead of reserving them tor viveurs accomplis.-Lon- don Cor.
