Orrictr \1 statisties relating to the English army, throw some light on a question that has of late excited a good deal of interest—that of the great proportion of youthful and raw) recruite in the ranks. It appears that the) proportion of men ender twenty years of aye | in the whole army is 104 per 1,000, and that | the great bulk o! the men—that is 620 per 1,000—are between the ages of twenty and twenty three. There cannot be much fear tor | the physique of an army «f which more than | one-half consists of men inthe prime of their strength.

The jury that enquired into the cause of the unfortunate man’s death, declared by its verdict that his death was caused by the neglect of his employer in not laving a railing around the trap. It seems that the coroner objected to a juryman’s put- | ting a question tending to fasten responsi lihty on the proper person. But the uryman replied witha good deal of Scotch erveur: ‘* You have no authority as coroner te prevent me. Men are being killed and murdered in Montreal now-a-days, an no one is allowed te bring out the truth.” The out- spoken verdict in this case will no doubt have good results,

An act which in some respects closely re- sembies the Irish Land Act of last year has just gone into effect by the publication of a long-expected ukase im Russia, one which would have been published last May but for the Ministerial changes which took place be fore the Czar hed signed it. Peasants are |divided by the ukase into three classes: (1) Those who have bought their land outright {by the aid of Government loans ; (2) those | who have not yet cleared off all their obliga- | tions to the landlords ; (3) those who have not | made any arrangement for coming into posses-
sion of the land. As explained in an English | newspaper, which finds the terms of the degree | extr: mely obscure, those provisions which |correspond to the purchase clauses of the Irish Land act are to be made compulsory on | ths third class, and the payment of the re | demption dues is to be diminished to peasants | of the first category by the 16 per cent, and | to those of the second by 1 rable per head. | it is estimated that these concessions amount
ito an annual remission of 6.000 006 land dues.

In | ondon alone property to the amount of $3 00),000,- 000 is now insured, and in the whole kingdom the risks taken amount to as much as $25,000, - 060,000.

No. 1, which left Ch’town, 5.156 a m has not arrived at Bradalbane yet; No. 4, which left Summerside at 8a. m., is new at Bradalbane, waiting to cross No. 1,; Ne. 2 left Tignish oa time this morning. She is now at Kensington on time. The train which leit Georgetown at 8,15, has not yet arrived at Bedford. The Engine and plow being stuck in drift near Bear River prevente | any train leaving Souris this morning.

His reply was this: “1 shall accept your offer as soon as my banker fails, which Heaven forbid” The fortune of Rubinstein is estimated at 2,000,- 000f., one-halk of which 1s represeated in his house.

THERE turved up ashort time ago in the shop ofa Munich antiquary a well preserved stage copy of Schillers ‘* Wilbam Tell,” with notes by the author’s own hand. It was | purchased by the hereditary Grand Duke of | Saxe-Weimer and given to his father. Form- | erly it was the property of the stage library, and it contaias notes by the stage-masier Genast, besides the corrections and additions which Schiller made, including the song ‘With Arrow aud Bow.” The poet’s hand was easily recogmzable in the notes. It is believed that the previous manuscript was lost in the great fire at Weimer.

Norra Amentcan Mutvas Lire INsvrance Company.—The first annual meeting of this company must have been a satisfactory one. An unusually large amount of business for a first year iias been secured, and at a compara- tively moderate expense. Applications amounting to nearly one and three quarter million dollars have been entered in the com- pany’s books, yielding a premium income of about $57,000. This is probably the largest sum secured by any Cavadian company dur- ing its first year. ‘The books of the company, which we have seen, show that by far the greater portion of the business was obtained during the last four months of the yea, owing to the difficulty in securing suitable repre | sentatives at the company’s inception. Among | ths policyholders are the names of many | prominent men in the five easterly provinces. Another feature we noticed was that most of this class of insurers favored “he tontine plan. The management of the company, we think, may well congratulate itse'f upon the charac- ter and amount of business secured and con- sider that it has made a good start. — Mone‘ury

|on the 6th instant, ex-Postmaster General | James defended the course of Mr. Anthony Comstock, and denied that he had tampered |with the mails, as some persons had [alleged. The annual report of the Seciety | showed that its agent had travelled 15,272 jmiles outside of the city of New York, | seized 35,000 open letters in possession of | persons arrested, and 60,000 songs, cireu
lars, catalogues, etc., of an obscene charac- ter, and destrayed twenty pounds of hooks ‘and sheet stock of the same kind and |twenty-five pictures. One hundred persons were arrested and forty-four were convicted and punished, while some others absconded and forfeited bail bonds to the value of $6,100. Fines amounting to $8,281 were imposed on convicted persons. The report detailed the processes by which this work
the police, especially, it stated, from Supers
the agent to execute his own warrants when issued by magistrates.” The cost of the society's work for the year was $5,226.95, on which there is a deficiency of $400. The travelling expenses of the agent were $617.50. A large part of the report was devoted to lottery gamblers, dime novels and trashy literature.
Ever since her unequal contest with England and France the Central Empire has been engaged in replacing the old war junks, which stood her in so poor stead, with vessels better suited to the require- ments of naval warfare. For a time she was content with purchasing tlie cast-off gun-boats of English and American dock- yards, but during the last six or eight years, stimulated by fear or jealousy of her more enterprising neighbour, Japan, she has turned her attention to vessels of a differ- ent class. A few years ago Sir W. Arm- strong completed a dozen gun-boats of superior construction for China, and the number has since been increased. A turret iron-clad named Ting-yuen, launched a few weeks ago at Stettin in Prussia, is tho latest addition to her naval resources. A twin vessel is in courses of construction and soon to be ready. When these two really formidable iron-clads have been added to the number, China will possess a fleet of about seventy vessels, of which sixteen, it is said, will compare favorably with those of any other navy. Of course ships and armaments alone will not make a dangerous marine. Much of their efficiency will still depend upon those who man them, and the Chinese have never yet distinguished themselves in naval warfare. They will probably soon learn under European officers, and when the inevitable struggle comes with their pro- gressive and somewhat aggressive neighbors , the Japanese, it is very likely that the Chi- \nese man-of-war’s men will give a good account of themselves.
In a note to the editor of the Holyoke, Mass. , Transcript, Mr. Louis Frechette, the post laureate of Canada, writes con- cerning some comments upon his speech at the banquet lately tendered him there :— i‘*T feel exceedingly grateful to you for | your kind words, but, as @ mere question of fact, Icannot but take exception to the | portion of this report where I am repre | sented as ‘speaking with equal facility both | Parisian and Canadian French.’ Well, |Sir, I do not thoroughly understand what lis meant here by ‘ Canadian French ;’ but lit may not be entirely devoid of interest | for some people to know that [ have spent | only two months of my life in France, and {never learned there any other language than that which J always spoke in my fa:mily and which was taught to me inthe Col- \lege of Quebec, where I received my edu- ‘cation. There may be in the United Srates some professors of language from France who may find a business interest in pretend- ing that the language of Canada is different rom the real French idiom, but there is not the slightest foundation for snch a statement. The language [ «) ke in France when there, and the onc i used the other evening in your presence, is the same I ‘have spoken al! my life in Montreal and Quebec. Some of my countrymea—unedu- cated people—may use vulgarisms and An- glicisms; they may commit several gram- matical mistakes; but incorrect as it may be sometimes, their language, and I can chal- lenye al contradiction on that point, has net the slightest radical difference with yi. is ested here Parixian French.”
