Mrs. Giapstonr, the ex-Premier’s wife, is one of the most charitable women in Europe, and is personally known to nearly all the poor in London. Her kind and serene coun- tenance charms atonce. She inspires respect in all, and more than once her well-directed charity after the war made Frenchmen forget that her husband’s policy was not very favor- able to them. She was, in consequence, very well received everywhere in Paris on her late visit.

TreLEPHONIC.—Communication was made yesterday afternoon over the wires of the Do- minion ‘Telegraph Co. between Pictou and Halifax. Conversation was carried on for some time, and the result was a very satisfac. tory test of the Bell telephone. The Interna- tional Hotel was switched on and the guests were favored with some really excellent music by Mr. Burke, manager of the Do- minion Telegraph office, Pictou.—Hz. Herald.

Mr. Porrer, United States Consul at Stutt- gart, Germany, has transmitted to the De- partment of State the annual report of the Kingdom of Wurtemburg. A large portion of the report is devoted to the subject of beet root sugar. Thege are 329 sugar mills in Germany, and during the year 1578, 850,000, - 000 pounds of sugar were made. In 1850 there were only 184 mills and 118,000,000,000 Ibs. of sugar made. About twelve pounds of beets make one pound of sugar. The total produc- tion of beet sugar in all Europe is 3,000,000, - 000 pounds.

A great many of onr wants a¥e fictitious, and people have learned coutentment by lop- ping off their desires. Itis the easiest way to solve many problems. ‘The shallow mind sees no-comfort, dignity or worth in the style by being justified bya small income, and every- thing that is not modern and ostentatious and stylish, amounts to about the same with them as squalid poverty. Pretence and sham is usually transparent, and deceives very few. If the family of limited andsmall income attempt to compass the luxuries of the rich, the latter only despise the motive and ridicule the failure. If there is no common ground of equality in personal worth, neighborly osteem. or mental congestion, there is no excuse what- ever for such intimacy. Many a foolish wife has been unhappy with her lot, and a per-

etual trial to her husband, by an unwise tenadde with some other vain, foolish woman, whose showy style and expensive habits were a continual temptation for her to follow. Many a husband has allowed himself to be led into extravagance and financial ruin, because some chum who perhaps could afford it indulged in sumptuous living.

Frepericron, N. B., Dee. 15.—-Sir Leonard ‘Tilley arrived here at 5 p. m., to- day, and was met at the Railway station by the leading gentlemen of the city, and escorted to the residence of A. F. Street, Esq., his son-in-law, whose guest he will be during his stay in the city. Long before the hour for the reception, the hali was thronged with an eager multitude, includ- ing a large number of ladies, who were seated in the galleries. At 8 p. m. Sir Leonard, accompanied by the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, Judges Wetmore, Steadman and Fisher, C. H. D. Fisher, Esq., F. L. ,Wet- more, Esq., Major Gregory, and Hons. John A, Beckwith and Robert Robertson, members of the Legislative Council, and other prominent gentle- men, took seats on the platform amidst deafening applause. At the conclusion of this enthusiastic welcome, Mr. E. L. Wet- more read a congratulatory address to Sir Leonard on behalf of the citizens of Fred- ericton and the inhabitants of York, which referred to that distinguished gentleman’s public career which has extended over @ quarter of acentury. Sir Leonard replied at length, reviewing fully the various meas- ures advocated by him and passed by the legislature of New Brunswick during the periods he occupied a seat there. The Franchise Bill, voting by ballot, railway extension, the prohibitory law, the Con- federaiton Act, and, lastly, the National Policy were lengthily treated of. Theo meeting was in every way a grand success, and'was composed of representatives from every section of York County and the neighboring counties of Sunbury and Queens.

WAS IT A PIRATE?

A Nova Scotian Vessel FPursued by a Strange Craft in the West Indies.

The Shelbourne schooner, Laura Bruce, which arrived here on Saturday, met with an adventure when among the West India Islands on her voyage from /3t. Jago, Cuba, to this port, which we publish as a warning to shipping masters going in the same neighborhood.

The Laura Bruce, Swim, master, left St. Jago, Cuba, on the 16th ult. On the 20th the mate, Edward Sterling, was taken down with fever, and the captain was afterwards seized with the same malady. The vessel was under control of the crew, and a suc- cession of North East gales drove them to the Westward into long. 76, and they lost their jib boom ard had their sails split. On December 5th they made the land off Nantucket, and being unable to weather the shoals, owing to the strong easterly winds blowing at the time, it was decided to bear up for Vineyard Haven to repair the sails and ob- tain medical assistance. When near the supposed uninhabited island of Marigu- ana, a small vessel, schooner rigged, was seen at the only place of anchorage about the Island, and the Laura Bruce tacked to get out ef her way, but the stranger seemed desirous of bearing down upon them, and followed in every direction the Laura Bruce took to avoid her. At first the stranger was only under jib and foresail, but as the Laura Bruce showed a desire to get away, her mainsail was also hoisted, and it be- came evident that the stranger meant to overhaul them if possible, but after a pur- suit of about forty miles the chase was ab- andoned and ne more was seen of the un- welcome stranger. She was painted black and showed no color nor made a signal of any kind. Althongh at one time she was within half a mile of the Laura Bruce, no name could be made out nor were apy men seen on deck.

Weights and Measures.

FIRST CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW ACT,

This morning Pierre Levesque, a cooper, was tried before the Police Magistrate for contravention of the ‘‘ Weights and Mea- sures Act ef 1879.” The defendant was in the habit of manufacturing wooden mea- sures, to which he attached an illegal brand, thereby leading purchasers to believe that the measures had been previously submitted to the inspectors for examination. Three of those false measures,respectively a bush- el, a peck and half peck, were found in the possessior: of the accused, and Mr. Whitton, the Inspector of Weights and Measures, caused the arrest of Levesque, a separate charge being made in the case of each measure. He was condemned on three charges to pay afine of $40, including costs, or to serve three months in gaol.—fon- treal Post, Dec. 11.

Temper and the Horse.

Let me see a stableman in the act of dressing a horse, and I will tell you the natural character of thai man. If he is of a good temper, the horse will with passive temper succuinb te the friction of the brush; but if a bad-tempered man, the task be- comes more arduous and of greater duration. What with blows and oaths, the horse throws up his head, becomes restive, and gets beyond the grasp of his dresser; then another layer of oaths and blows, and so the conflict goes on between man and horse until the work, under great difficulties, is

finished, and ali this occasioned by the bad and evil temper in the man.
