A meeting of the Paris bar haa paaaed a xaadlationâ€" which, of coorae, has no 1^^ effectâ€" that the reoeiTer of a letter haa tfa^ right to pnbliah it without the consent of the writer or hia heira. The first "Secretary of Scotland" will probably be Lord Aberdeen. Lird Rose- bery is an abler man, ba| aa the appoint- ment does not carry viwM fK-^^ Cabinet, it ia not likely that he wiR a^lBpt it. Some time ago Mr. SIBa Lsver, of Man- chester, England, oAoit/a inize of Â¥2.500 for the best safety Hao^for use in mines. Over ninety lamps hire been sent in, many coming from the UaHBd States and others from the Continent. ^^ The London Bet^o^" Tract Society knows that last 31 ear it iaaned 30,000.000 tracts, and that its "trade receipts" were $948,155, but unfortunately it cannot say how many persons read the tracts or ienefit- ed by their perusal. In the course of last year the German lifeboat Society saved 277 lives, the rescued persons belonginfr to 47 German vessels, and to 5 English, 4 Dutch, 4 Swedish, 3 Dan- ish, and 2 Russian ships. The Society sup- ports 87 lifeboat stations. The National Library of France can boast about a million more books than that of England, but then it had a start of about a century. As early as 1617 a decree was made compelling publishers to forward to it every book they published. There is at pr^ent a great dearth of Pro- testant theologians in Germany. Very few young men choose the Church as a profes- sion, and, accordingto a recent account, the pulpits of several country parishes are va- cant literally for the want of a pastor. A sign of the impecunious times in Lsn- don is the substitution at the clubs of a nip of whiskey for 6 cents in lieu of sherry and bitters for 12. The receipts for wines an I liquors in most clubs have, by reason of blue ribbonism going hand m hand with hard times, sensibly decreased. It is said that only one small herd of buf- faloes remain in Texas. This has been feed- ing on the Pecos River, in the Staked Plains region, but a band of hunters is hovering about it csntinually, killing the animals as fast as the meat can be cared for, and its days are numbered. This is the remnant of what was known a f aw years ago as "the great Southern herd." Col. Malczewski, who died lately at his house in Prussian Poland, was 100. While serving in the Prussian army he was taken prisoner, and forthwith entered the French aimy and took part in many of Napoleon's campaigns. After Waterloo he went home, but in the rising of 1830 entered the Polish army, and, beinK taken prisoner, passed 47 years in Siberia. He was only released in 1879. M. Pasteur officially announces that his researches have led him to the important discovery that if the poison of rabies is in- troduced into the bodies of monkeys it is greatly diminished in its virulence, and that in this milder form it may by inocula- tion be introduced into the bodies of other animals without producing any serious evil, but, on the contrary, destroying the liability to canine madness.

The Queen and the Dukes of Bnooleuch and Wellington are understood to be almost the only per- sons possessing them. There are in Great Britain three State pa- pers, the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Oaaettea, The first makes a urge income by reason of the various notices which the law requires to be inserted in ii Besides these papers there there is the official police "Hue and Cry" for each country. An advertisement in the Paris Rgaro an- nounces that a man of 35, titled, intelligent, and energetic, ^ould accept any situation, even one perilous and requiring him to go far away, or marriage, in return for the pay- ment of $20,000 of debt. Any one who wants him must write to B. L. H. Poate Bestante, Rue Montaigne, Paris. The juvenile inhabitants of Berlin have grown so musical in their tvts that a peti- tion to the city Police Dapartment is now in circulation requesting that the practice of the art be by ordinance confined to such honrs as will least interfere with the intel- lectual pursuits of the neighbors, who con- sider the eternal thrumming an insapport- able nuisance. A German, now resident in England, says that, having served for six years in the German army, he can confidently say that the militaTy «yatem of that country oonati* tateathe mostonraadly tynuinical form of alavery that ever dimaoed a civilized na- tion.

Dodiean came to griet the other day through merely a sigh. Tds lady, tired of h«r husband, a master butcher of Havre, eloped with a young man in his employ, af- ter she had provided tunds for a good time out of the batcher's cash box to the extant of $2 000. M. Dodieau's tel^ram brought a detective to the fugitive's hotel in Paris. There he found in bed a solitary young man, who swore roundly at him for viola- tion of domicile. The officer was about to retire, when a halfstified sigh arrested him. Search revealed a cunningly conceal- ed closet, on opening which the erring and straying bntchereas fell ^half fainting into his arms. A Big Blast. The other day a crowd assembled at the limestone quarry north of Warm Springs to witness the discharge of a big blast, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Stone had been been quarried out so as to leave a paling one hundred feet wide and over one Hundred feet high. This face was nearly perpendicu- lar, but had a bench or step extending up from the base forty feet. From this point a tunnel was run in on the dip of the ledge forty-thres feet, and at the lower end a cross-cut forty-three feet long was made. At each end of this cross-cut a well was sunk nine feet deep, brin((ing the bottom on a level with the floor of the quarry. In one of these wells 100 kegs of powder were placed in bulk and wires were so arranged as to enable the two masses to be fired at the same time by electricity. The powder and the wires once in position, the welU were filled up with tamping. The manner in which the tunnel cross-cuts and wells were arranged made it easy to confine the explosive force of the powder so as to be more effective. Wires were stretched up the hill about seven hundred feet to a sate p^ace, and a portable battery was carried to the spot. The crowd of spsctatcrs viewed the quarry aud such features as were visi- ble, aad retired to the valley below, one thousand feet away, where they had a good chance to witness the explosion. Mis Frank Pascoe touched off the powder just at 4 o'clock by merely pressing a key of the lua^bins, and at once the whole face of the quarry was raised, and fell in an immense mass of broken rock, from the size of an egg up to that nearly of a house, Mr. Pascoe estimates that the blast brought down and loosened up between thirty and forty thou- sand tons of rock. Tae report of the ex plot ion was not heavy, â€" ^in tact, less than is oft an made by a stick of giant, â€" but the tumblirg of the rocks made the earth tremble for qnite a distance. The amount ofi^smoke which rose in an immense cloud gave some idea of the ampunt of p-)wder used, and for some time obscured the view. Sunlit Booms. No article of furniture should be put in a room that will not stand sunlight, for every ro im in a dwelling should have the windows so arranged that some time dur -ng the day a flood of sunlight will force itself into the compartments. Tne importance of admitting the light of the sun freely to all parts of our dwellings cannot be too highly estimated. Indeed perfect health is nearly as much de- pendent on pure sunlight as it is on pure air. Sunlight should never be exclndel except when so bright as to be uncomfortable to tne eyes. And walks should be m bright sun- lights so that the eyes are protected by a veil or pararol when inconveniently intense. A sun-bath is of more importance in preserving a healthful condition of the body than is generally understood. A sun bath coats no- thing, and that is a muifortune, for people are deluded with the idea that those thin^ can only be good or useftil which cost money. But remember that pure water, fresh air and sunlight homes, kept free from dampness, will secure you from many heavy bills of the doctcrj and give yon heslch and vigor which no money can pro- cure. It is now ia well-established fact that the people who live much in the sun are usually stronger and more healthy than those whose occupation deprives them of sunlight. And ccriainly there is notlung strange in the result, since the law applies with equal force to every animate thing in «ture. It is qnite easy to arrange an iso- »d dwelling so that eveiy room may be flooded with sunlight some time in the day, and it is possible that many town houses cotdd be so built as to admit more light than they now receive.

Thoae pits are ooverad over with ftan atioiu and gnas or leaves, so that any anwanr animaiB quite unaware of the nnsonnd sUte of the ground. It is presumed that tha tiger waa aithar in pursoit of wild pig, or was wending hia way to an adjoining farmyard, when he got into difficulties. As soon as the owner of the pit mto which the tiger had fallen was awara of his prize, he covered the mouth of the pit with strong planks, and at once looked around for a pnrcher. who was soon fonnd. The sum of |l25 as, (about £26) was paid for the tiger as it lay at the bottom of tne pit, and it after- wards cost $cO to have him caged and con- veyed to Singapore. WhUe negotiations were being carried on, spectators were per- mitted to look at the magnificent animal, for which purpose the covering of planks was partialy rt moved. He did not at all relish these visitors, and give marked signs of disapproval by growling and springing up. He had, however very Utile room for move- ment, but on one occision very nearly reach- ed the 1 op of the pit. For nearly six aays the poor captive lay in the pit (being fed very «.parinj;ly so as to reduce his eneroy], while preparations were being mude for caging him. At firdt a large square hole waa dug adjacent to the pit,and it was intended to have placed a cage in this hole, having done which ttte partition of earth between the hole aud the pit was to have been knocked away and the tiger driven into the cage. After the hole was dug this plan was, however, abandoned, as it was clumsy and dangerous, and the opera- tion of caging the tiger was put in the hands of six Malays, who, as a race, are noted for their knotvledge of woodcraft and of the habits of animals. I, with ttvo other officers and a lady of the garrison, wtre the only ifiuropeans who were fortunate enough to witness the lare sight of caging a wild tiger, and I will attempt to describe the operation in detail. Fhe manner in which the Malays worked was much to be admired. Every a- r.uige- ment was most complete, so that no acci- dent could in all human probability occur, and when the most difficult parts of the work was going on, strict s'Unce was main- tained among the operators, each of whom seemed to kQOJV his role with eiactitude, and all worked like one machine. There seemed no fear and no hurry, while, in ad- dition to their endeavors to briig their labors to a successful conclusion, they seem- ed to have THBOUGH SYMFATHT WITH THE VICTIM whom they treated as gently as possible. The first thing done was to rig up a strong beam ^at a height of about nine feet over the hole, and this was supported on well- secured uprights, to whicn it waa firmly lashed with withes. Next there were pre- pared two cylindrical baskets made of green rattan. One of these basikets measured two two feet in diameter and eigh^eet long. The other was made just auffioiently large to be passed into the large one for the purpose of givmg additiotal strength. One end of each baaket wai open while the other waa closed with the exception of a hole of aboat three icchea in diameter, the use of which will be afterward explained. Having jammed the smaller basket into the larger one, the walla of both were firmly laoed together throoghoot wit withes, to avoid any chance of d'pping. Fnally two new hemp ropes, two and tfaree-qaarter inches in circumfer- ence, were prepared with runn ng nooses. Small pieces of sticks were passed through the rope as stoppers, to prevent the loop fiom rnnning before required to do so. As soon as a few long poles were out and pre- pared, with a fork on some and pieces of wood lashed on others to form hooks, all was ready for the operation. The planks covering the mouth of the pit were then slightly sepaia ed to admit of the ropes and poles being passed down. The noose of one of the ropes was lowered onto the tiger's head, which intrusion he resisted violently but, by skill and ^tience. the Malays managed to get the noose over the tiger's head and round his neck. This was effected by manoeavering fiis paws and mouth with the poles. As socn as the noose was in position, it was orawn tight enough to prevent its being removed by the prisoner. Tne other rope waa then paased down and secured in a similar manner. The operation of placing the two nooaea round the neck ocoapied twenty-three |minates. The ends of the ropes were then paaaed through the cyhndrical baskets., entering at the open wd and pMsing oni at the small hde at the other end. Thoy were after* ard passed over the overhead beam, and were held by a party of twelve oooliea, ready to bani when directed to do ao. The baaket waa than placed month downward over tha pit, and the planka were moved joat anffidantly to admit of the baaket being lowered into tha Bwrnth of tha pit. The ezaot elavation of tt» baaket waa regulated liy a third rope, which was lashed to it and paaaed ovar the overhead beam and held by ma -fmi Whf n aU waa aaeorad aadraady tha word to haal waagivan, and tha tiger waa DsawH UP Haas lOBSHosx mo nai BAssai, wWch waa only large anongh to caodva him! and thua ha waa niable to sttosglo t^ ^wk.

The oage having been hoisted on to a bnllook oart, was re- moved to Singapore, where the tiger ia now on view, previous to being shipped to aome dealer in Eagland or. America. He la a magnificent animal, beantifuUy marlced, and in fine oqnditioo. According to such meaa- nrementa as could be made as he lay in the basket, he is nine feet long from his nose to the tip of his tail. While waiting to see him taken out of the pit we notioed the tracks of other tigers. Some of them were large, and prorably those of the tigress, prowfing about near her mate, while the others were tracks of cubs. They were quits fresh, aaathander storm the previous evening must have obliterated any old tracks. In conclusion, I must again say that all praise is due to the Malays who carried ont the operation of noosing, raising, and caging the tiger. Nothing could exceed their skill and method of •woTking.â€" Correspondence London lield. One Wing of the Chinese Army. With these troops also bows and arrows are the favorite weapons, though a small proportion of the men carry matchlocks. Six times a mcnth they practice archery on foot and every string and summer, dressed in armor, they go through the same exercses on horseback. This division funushes a guard of two men at each gate of the "for- bidden city," whos9 duty it is to sit holding a rod barl across the gatsway. and who rise only to princes of the blood. It also sup- plies the night patrols within the "forbidden city," who allow no one either to enter or leave the precincts unless he be toe bearer of half a broken toktn which when fitted with the corretponding portion inpossesaion of the officer oa duty matches it exastly.

Such exhibitions of agility aa somaraaulta and leaps are. to their thinking, inexprcs sibly terrifying to the enemy, and when ao- companied by ahonta and eriaa, cannot fail, they ocnsider, to apread dismay in the op- posmg ranks. The "ahont of battle" has, through all time, been reocgniaed as a power in the fight but the "buxcm valcr ' whoaa "grace ia only in the heels," which is dia- pUyed by Cnineaa aoidiera, can only inspire contempt arnon^ any troops but such as are even on a lower level of ineffioienoy than Chinese warriera.
