English Neatness.

E we were tobe askéd, saysa writer in

nen Joyrnal, to say in one word the ality that more than anything else marks snglish towns and all public places as com- pared with our own, we should have to say neatness. English streets are well paved and clean: English roads are well kept ; English railwry stations are in perfect order; Euaglish fields are trim and neat; English gietene, hedges, fences, lawns, all exhibit care and oversight, English smoke and fog blacken and stain all the buildings, but English care more than compensates for this unavoidable evil. We are not so particular ‘here. We have'a clean atmosphere and brilliant skies, but we

are all so far as public places are concerned, oe and daughters of Shabbyville. This is

he more strange, because in our households no such reproach is true. There are no neater or better-kept homes anywhere than American homes, nor are any people cleanlier or neater in their habits. It is wholly in public matters that this shabbiness we complain of exists ; and this arises, of course, first, from the neg- ect of the official persons we endow with handsome salaries for leaving undone the things they should do; and next, from a strange in- difference on everybody’s part to everything of a public nature, to everything that is not with- in his own private administration.

Lord Fitzgibbon.

One or two reports, says the ‘‘ Times” of Noy. 16th, have gained currency, to the effect that Lord Fitzgibbon, who was supposed to have been killed in the Balaklava Charge, had returned to England, he not having been shot dead, but taken prisoner, and, for an insult to a Russian officer, sent to Siberia. It has also been stated that since his return he had paid a visit tothe Hounslow Barracks, where his regiment, the 8th Hussars, is stationed, and that Colonel Musssenden and Quartermaster- Sergeant-Major Hetferon (formerly Lord Fitz- gibbon’s servant), had identitied him. This week inquiries have been made as to the truth of the statement relating to the visit to the barracks, and the reply was that no person representing himself as heir to the title of Lord Clare had been there. Moreover, Quarter- master-Sergeant-Major Hetfleron and late Trumpet-Major Grey, who were in the C Troop of the 8th Hussars when Lord F*tz- gibbon took the place of Lord Cardigan’s Aide- de-Camp (Captain Lockwood), and led the troops down to the ever-memorable charge, say they were close to him when, not long after the commencement of the charge, they saw him strugk in the chest

»almost. atthe same momen by two bullets,

and they distinctly recollect his holl of his sword (which from falling to the ground by a strap which secured it to his arm), violently clasping his arms on his breast, and crying out, ‘* Oh, my God, my God, I'm shot! With what they be- lieved to be his dying breath he exhorted his men not to linger, saying to them, (io on. Thus every one believed hin to have died the death of a hero. He was shot directly after the death of Captain Nolan. He had £25 in cash, which was part of £50 served out on the morning of the charge for the C Troop. It may be added that when the soldiers came back, Trumpeter-Major Grey and _ several others searched for the body, but it was never found. If Lord Fitzgibbon is really in this country, as alleged, the officers and men of the 8th Hussars who knew him wish to know why he has been so backward in calling a 8 them. They would be glad to see him, and he must know he was beloved by all of them. The officers who would readily recognize him and receive him with open arms are—(Ceneral de Salis, Colonel Mussenden, and Lieutenant Harrison (late of the 8th Hussars). For the information of those who may come in contact with the new claimant, it can be stated that Lord Fitzgibbonewas tall—5ft. 10in. in height of fair complexion, and slim stature. He had a cast in the left eye, and was in the habit of wearing a glass. If alive now he would be up- wards of 4) years of age.

War on the Indian Frontier. Tho mails from India containing reassuring semi-official statements respecting the condi- tion of the North-Western frontier reach us simultaneously with the announcement by telegraph that war has broken out in the Af- ridi territory, and that the country of the Jowaki tribe has been invaded by a field force under the command of General Keyes. The Jowkas are the most dangeroas and turbulant. of the Afridis. The hills which they occupy compose a wedge-like promontory thrust for- ward between the districts of Peshawur and Kohat in a south-easterly direction, With the occupants of these and the Sens fastnesses, the British Government has heen involved in repeated contests ever since the annexation of the Punjaab in 1849. During the last 28 years we have had nearly as many border wars in the North-West, and the Af- ridis have given us more trouble, perhaps, than any other of the mountaln clans beyond the Indus. The whole nation, it 1s estimated, is able to muster about 24,000 fighting men, but these are much divided by intestine feuds. and not a few have taken service in the Puniaub frontier force. They are described upon of ficial authority as fine, tall, athletic highland- ers, lean but muscular, with long gaunt faces, high cbeek bones, but dark complexion. Four- teen years have elapsed since the Umbeyla ‘campaign. and it is probable that the recollec- ‘tion of that sharp chastisement has faded out ‘of the native mind. The conduct of the Jaw- ‘akis during the last few months has abounded ‘in provocations, and at length the Govern- mant, it was announced, had resolved upon en- forcing a blockade of their strongholds in the Kohat Hills, and so reducing them to submis- sion’ This announcement was made some some weeks ago, and we find the preparations for carrying it into effect reported into the mail news. But the telegraphic intelligence of Sun- day night’s date seems to point to a change of policy. Its, apparently, nota blockade, but an invasion, which was commenced something

Went Shooting and Found a Wife

There is considerable of romance about the Aberdeen family. All the world knows the story of that heir to the Earldom who embark ed asa common sailor on an American ship and was drowned at sea. His father was also eccentric, though his eccentricity ran in be nevolent channels. The present Earl is John Campbell, brother of the drowned sailor, aud six years his junior. He is now thirty years old and has just entered into matrimonial re- lations with a lady whose acquaintance he made under unusual circumstances. Visiting the North the landlord of the hotel where he Was stopping told him that he might shat over a certain cover which was pointed out. While walking over the ground he was met by a gentleman who told him that he was tres- passing. He apologized, explained, told who he was, and the gentleman, who happene.! to be Sir Dudley Coutts Majoribanks, invited him to his house. There he met a young lady, his host’s daughter, and the result was an at- tachment which resulted in a grand weddin: a few days ago in London. :

The New York ‘‘Evening Post” relates, under the above heading, the following story of ‘A Man, a Monkey, and a Lady Fair” :

** Cassio Dillio,’ a swarthy Italian, and ‘Jim- my Dillio,’ his monkey, were arraigned in the Toombs Police Court to-day, on a charge, made by Mary Shea, a matron of Bottle Alley, who alleged that at half-past ten o'clock this morning, while the court was made musical by the strains of Dillio’s organ, his assistant, ‘Jimmy,’ entered her room for the usual gra- tuity. She presented him with a piece of candy, and in his eagerne’s to snatch the co

veted sweetness he bit her finger severely. She cried aloud for aid, and Officer Hatton, of the Fourteenth Precinct, came and arrested the musician and the offender. The latter was fancifully arrayed in scarlet mantle and velvet

cap trimmed gwith gold- lace, and when placed at the bar presented ademure and sober appearance. He ascended the iron railing and listened attentively to the proceedings; and when Justice Flammer debided that Mrs. Shia must seek redress in a civil suit against his owner, ‘Jimmy’ made a profound obeisance and retired from the bar most gracefully.”

The late Rev. Dr. Murray, of Auahterder- ran, who, at the period of his death, was Fath. er of the Established Church, conducted his pulpit duties after he had me an octogen- arian. The precentor had likewise been long in office, and the insufficiency of his vocal pow- ers had frequently been complained of to the minister. The Doctor was reluctant to super - cede an official so many years associated with him in his duties; but at length resolved to convey a hint which might induce him to n- sign. During a week-day conversation with him, the Doctor proceeded: ‘‘ By the way, some 0’ the folks were remarking that you were scarcely so able for the singing now, and were suggesting’ Not permitting the min- ister to cenclude the sentance, John broke in— ‘*Ay, ay. sir, that’s just what some ~o’ them hae been sayin’ to me aboot yersel’.” ‘‘{f that be so,” said the minister, ‘‘they mist put up with us both a little longer.”

The late Professor Duncan, of St. Andrews, was, prior to his appointment to his chair, rector of an Academy in Forfarshire, and ven- tured to make proposals toa lady. They were walking together, and the important yeestion was put without preliminary sentiment or note of warning. Of course, the lady replied by a gentle ‘‘No!” The subject was im- mediately dropped ; but the parties soon met again. ‘‘Do you remember,” at length said the lady, ‘‘a question you put to me when we last met?” The professor said that he re- membered. ‘‘ Red do you remember my ans- wer, Mr. Duncan?” ‘Oh! yes,” said the professor. ‘‘ Well, Mr. Duncan,” proceeded the lady, ‘‘I have been led, on consideration, to change my mind,” ‘‘ And so have I,” driiy responded the professor.

The great dry goods warehouse of Field, Leiter & Co., in Chicago, recently burned, cost $1,000,000, and was insured for $200,000. The mistake was made of putting only wooden supports beneath the water tank in the 5th story, which burned away, and instead of furnishing water to drown out the fire, the tank went presently crashing downwards to the cellar, assisting to wreck. the building,

During last week not a single consignment of fresh meat was landed at Liverpool from the United States, a circumstance which has not occurred for some months past. There were 692 quarters of beef and 290 carcases of mutton, however, brought by the Allan steamer ‘‘Per- uvian” from Canada. She had also amongat her cargo 140 barrels of eggs and two fine shorthorn heifers, belonging to Mu. Holford, of Market Harborough. Mr. Holford pur- chased the animals at Quebec at the enormous price of £5,300. With this exception, there were no arrivals of cattle; but the steamer ‘‘Lake Megantic,” arriving from Montreal on Saturday, had on board about 300 sheep. There were also no arrivals of fresh bntter.

Tue Wire.—It needs no guilt to break a husband’s heart. The absence of content, the mutterings of spleen, the untidy dress, and cheerless home, the forbiding scowl and deserts ed hearth—these, and other nameless neglects, without a crime among them, have harrowea to the quick the heart's core of many a man, and planted there beyond the reach of cure,the germ of dark despair. Oh! may woman, be- fore that sight arrives, dwell on theecollec- tions of her youth, and_ cherishing the dear idea of that tuneful time, awaken and keep -alive the promise she so kindly gave. And though she may be the injured, not the injuring one—the forgot- ten, and not the forgetting wife—a happy al- lusion to the hour of peaceful love, a kindly welcome to a comfortable home, a smile of love to banish hostile words, a kiss of peace to pardon all the past, and the hardest heart that ever locked itself within the breast of selfisl man will soften to her charms, and bid her live, as she had hoped, her years of matchtess
