He then wrote to the college authorities announcing the fact that he was alive, but too late to prevent his being published in this year’s calendar as being dead as a door nail. The king of yearly obituary notices has got Mr. McKinnon on his muscle, and he avows his intention of proving to the world and his professional friends else- where of his being as lively as a cricket, and sti!l in the pursuit of his profession, by taking an action for damages. He says it is impossible to give any exact estimate of the damage, professionally, it has done him. Cases which he would otherwise have re- ceived from his legal friends elsewhere, he did not receive, owing to the erroneous publication.”

Financial Statistics.
——
The London Economist of August 6th publishes what ta mary will seem a strange statement, It is that since 1874 the num- ber of bills payable or notes of hand made in Great Britain has greatly decreased. In 1874 the number of bill stamps sold was 9,993,360. In 1883 (the year ends in March) the number was bat 8,491,877, or 1,591,483, or about 16 per cent., less in 1883 than ten years previously. The table published by the Economist shows that the diminution was very nearly steady. The number in 1878 exceeded that of 1877, but the decline commenced the year after, and it has been continuous since, Other tables show that there has been a corresponding decline in the number of every class of bills, so that the total amount of credit transactiong waa smaller. During these same yeara population in- creased, capital accumulated, the volume of business expanded, and of course the num- ber of business transactions became much larger. Taking only the past four years we find that the estimated amount of bank deposits and capital was in—

Walters was secretary of the Society, the object of which, it was claimed, was the assassination of the landlords and the officers of the Government.
On the afternoon of the 25th the railroad switchmen of Kansas City, Mo., began to quit work aud before night most of them had gone out. The strikers grew soine- what noisy while urging others to quit and were dispersed py the police. Passenger trains left as vsual, but nothing is done in freight yards, the iew men remaining being afraid to work at night. Officials are firm and refuse to grant the advance. Strikers demand rwitch keepers to be paid $65 per month, instead of $2 per day, and that foremen receive $75 per month, 8 indays included.
The Turf, Field and Farm announces that Mr. Daryea and Charles Rowell, are expected to arrive in New York in four or five days, on the steamer Alaska, Alder man Patrick Fitzgerald, of Long Island City, has sent $1,000 to the Turf, Field and Farm cttice, and challenges Rowell to con- test for the long distance go-as-you-please championship. The London Sporting Life on Oct. 10, announced that Rowell was in perfect condition and was open to make a match with Fitzgerald or any other man for the six days championship.
There is another monster trial to come up shortly before Vice Chancellor Bacon, in England, which promises to last as long as the Tichborne case, of which Lord Cole- ridge wasa great part. The amount in dispute is $2,500,000. There are ten de- fendants, who make separate defences and employ separate counsel. Three .counsel are engaged foreach defendant, and the pene a well-known company, has five.
he company’s leading leading lawyer has $5,000 marked on his brief, and the others on both sides from $2,500 down to $1,500. The pleadings make up a large folio volume. As Kir James Bacon is eighty-five, it is likely to finish him.
The New York World says that among those said to have been squeezed by the unexpected ‘‘bull” movement on Walk Street, are Henry N. Smith, for whose account so much Northern Pacific pre- ferred stock was bought in under the rules on Saturday last; ©. E. Woerechoffer, A. Cammack and H. Victor Newcomb, who were all wealthy. One rominent “‘bear’ entered into a ‘“‘bull’ specu- lation with W. HB. Vanderbilt, in whieh he lost $1,250,000. His fortune be- fore this was estimated at $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. He suddenly turned and led the ‘‘bear” campaign and netted $300,000 to $400,000. The squeeze of the last two or three days has left him but a fragment of his former fortune, The “bull” opera. tors profess that the “bear” campaign has come to an end, and a more healthy condi- tion of the market may be expected for some time.
In the French Chamber of Deputies M. Granet (Radical) raid the recent official statements respecting affairs in ‘Tonquin showed the extreme gravity of the situation, Explanations were indispens- uble. (Cheers by the Extreme Left.) Mem- bers of other Republican groups also con- demned the Ministry because .t failed to convoke the chambers earlier, and asked the Government to give them an opportun- ity of opening a discussion on the Tonquin questions. If the Government refused they would take steps to force a discussion. M. Ferry said he regretted that no notice of the interpellation had been given. He would be prepared to discuss Tonquin matters when the supplementary credits were introduced. The Cabinet would then
