The poor old woman was shocked at his ghastly looks and vifiild manner. She besought him to tell her the truth, and he related the tale of his crime and flight. He said that finding him- self .alone u the house with Catharine, for Whom he had conceived an ardent passion,. he could not resist the temptation to make advances to her. When safe repulsed him he lost control of himself and attacked her. She screamed fox help, and being stricken with terror lest his offence should become known, he seized her by the throat and en- deavored to silence her cries, but being unable todo so he snatched up.a knife and subbed her time and again until she ceased to struggle. It was only when her lifeless form dropped from his grasp that he realized that he wasp, murderer and fled in terror. He hid in the nearest clump of woods, and before he could leave it the pursuers were erannd-him. ,. -While_ the whole .po1Pallation- was on the lookout for him he . was lying in ditches • on the heath or concealed in marshy spots on the neighboring moors by day, -and 'often overheard his pursuers discuss plans leu+hie capture.

He felt himself growing. mad, and, unable to longer endure the tortures which racked him in body and mind; he turned, his •steps last night toward his mother's home. The sorrowing mother was nearly pros- trated by.the recital, There was onlyone course for her to pursue, however. Con- cealment was impossible, even had she felt equal to the task of attempting it.

He was taken charge of y the docters near where the accident happened and was given the best of care and attention, but the wounds were very deep and refused to heal. As a last resort it was decided to try grafting, and for this purpose two healthy young guinea pigs were got and parts of their flesh transferred' to the man's legs. The operation was a success and the man's legs at once began to heal As soon as he was fit he was taken to Montreal, and the last word is that the burned limbs are now almost well, and the flesh of the guinea pig has become part of the man and is quite firm and healthy. A San Francisco despatch says : The steamer China, which arrived -qday from Hong Kong and Yokohama, brings advices from China to August 30th. Sir John Wel som, the British Minister, has protested strongly against the dilatory manner of the Chinese Obvernment, asking fast why an edict on the subject of the riots was not despatched through the cmpire bytelerah. telegraph. Second, why the Wuhu magistrate who lalesleteratepetheasic4 PP , his superiors, who did' nothing, were not punished ; and third, why the punishment of the, guilty at Wusuch was delayed. 1 The Chinese Government tient the, quer. tions to His Excellency Lei Chung Chang to be answered. Chang replied : (1') It is not the custom of China to send, edicts by wire ; (2) the magistrate was degraded for other reasons, and (3) the rioters had been punished, two beingexecuted and the others otherwise punished. The North China News, commenting editorially on the answers, says the first is o merely tzo adbmit a dela caused nby the he case was use of messengers. As for thereply, was stated at the time that the magistrate was degraded as a concession to the natives, who had denounced him for doing his duty in the affair. The reply is a palpable evasion and only shows that China cannot be depended on by the foreign powers. As for the execution of two culprits this is unsatisfactory, as coming far short of the requirements of Chinese law in cases of murder among themselves. Murders of foreigners must not be punished more Tightly -' than _ -the-- murder' of Chinese., Lord Salisberry added to his three questions a demand that Hunan, which is the hotbed of anti -foreign sentiment inChina, be opened to trade, coupled with a threat that if China could not control her own people the foreign powers would teke the matter in hand.. To this the viceroy replies that China is per- fectly able to control her own people. The conclusion is that if able she must be un- willing. The News adds :-Meanwhile the powers do not intend to be satisfied with these replies and with what has been done by the Chinese Government so far in the way of punishment and reparation. They have sent China what is virtually an ultimatum, and will not take any inadequate reply. England's action is understood to be backed by other powers, and it is thought force will be used if China is not conciliatory. Over 20,000people assembled at Lung Chow, in the Province of Hunan, recently, to prevent workmen from putting up •tele- graph lines. Ten thousand poles were burned and the men • driven overathe boun- dary. A society has been formed to keep the telegraph out, and a mob is still on the watch at New Chong. • Dr. Greig, a missionary doctor, has ' been assassinated by soldier s. The matter has been placed in the hands of the .British consul- It is thought this is not connected with secret societies. Reports from Foo Chow of the killing of three missionaries up the country prove to be false. The .German Roman Catholic Bishop of Shan Tung has returned from Pekin to Tien Tsin: It is said _His Excellency Li Hung Chang "' told him the late riots are only forerunners of more serious trouble, and hinted that he hoped the bishop would be moderate in demands when he returned to Shan Tung. Gold mines have been discovered in the Ching Chen district of Kuang Tung. Adventurers flocked to them in crowds and did much damage tab graves and fields in digging. Finally the Magistrate pro- hibited mining there, and quiet is restored. There are serious troubles in Sing Tang,. Dutch West Borneo, between the Dyaks and Malays. Three thousand Dyaks are in alms against the . Malay Rajah over taxes. An Unknown Schooner Buns up Against the Big Steamer and Is Lost, THE ARIZONA NOT MUGH DAMAGED, A 4ueenstown cable says : The ' Guion Line steamer Arizonaefrom New Yeale Sep- termer 5th for Liverpool, arrived here- to- day in a battered condition.

Sept. 6th, while the vessel was in a fog but steaming rapidly an unknown sailing ves- sel, believed to. be a large -coasting schooner; struck with her stern on the Arizona's -port quarter. The passengers, who were in bed at the time of the accident,: were awakened by the shock and 'noise of the collision and rushed. on deck. It was seen that 30 feetof rails and a life boat bad been that several plates had been bent. Owing to these ominous evidences of a collision, it was at, first believed that . the conse- duences ' of the 'accident were ' more serious than proved to.be the case. The passengers were much alarmed, and life belts were prepared, but the fears of all' were soon allayed. The Arizona for a long time searched in vain for the unfortunate sailing vessel Part, of her bowsprit was left on the Arizona's deck. From wreckag seen it is feared she foundered. One passenger makes the following state- ment : After passing Sandy Hook weentered a haze, which later became a dense fog. The fog -horn was kept blowing. About 11 p. m. a loud report like the pursting of a boiler startled the passengers, who rushed on deck. The captain, who was on the bridge, ordered the engines reversed at full speed. He assured the passengers that the steamer was all right and ordered them below. Afterward the officers stated that a three -masted scheoner had struck the Arizona on the portside almost amidships and then disappeared. The fog steam whistles and. fog -horn were kept going, lona after the collision, but nothing was discov- ered. The steamer's pumps were started, but no water was found. So violent was the collision that passengers sleeping on the damaged side of the steamer were thrown from .their berths. A California Romance. Miss Billie Lee, a pretty girl and an heir- ess, came near making very grave mistake in Los Angeles, Cal-, a few days ago. She was engaged to be married and the day and hour hail come. But the groom came not. Thirty minutes passed and still he was absent. The bride looked lovely in her wed- ding robes. Another hall hour had flown, and the expectant bride's sister slipped out of the house and sped away. A rival for the band of Miss Rillie Lee was attending to his work and°feeling awfully blue over the fact that he was not the chosen one. The young man was quickly told tbat the field was clear. He mad„a hurried toilet and flew to the presence• of the waiting party. When he arrived there were cries of ” Dick," " Billie," and the 'next minute the two lovers were locked in each other's arms. " I nearly made an awful mistake," sobbed the bride. The wedding went off in ',fine style, but just at the close a letter came from the motner'of the absent young man saying she did not approve of the match and had prevented her son's appearance.

We do not remember whether at the time of the construction of the Tower Eiffelany- body was sagacious enough to point out the, fate of the projectors and builders of the Tower Babel as an•awful warning, but if it wasn't done some prophet has apparently lost a good chance to score. It is not that a confusion of tongues has resulted among visitors to the Eiffel tower, though the poly- glot inscriptions in the elevators might easily have brought about that consumma- tion through the intemperate efforts of the curious to read them. The judgment which has overtaken the city of Paris is of a differ- ent nature, and as befits the times, wears a more scientific cast. French meteorologists now -boldly declare that M. Eiffel's prodigy has entirely ruined their climate. Thrusting its. proud head up into the clouds, it attracts the electric forces of nature, which come and,; perform their terrifying gambols around its metalic summit and cause every manner of aerial disturbance in their power. ' It behooves us to study these significant - phenomena closely, for we are not only projecting, planning and raising buildings, which may turn out Bebels-they are certainly not in- tended for Bethels-but' Chicago is, promis- ing herself a tower of her own.

There has for long been a legend that the Chinese are to be credited with the inven- tion of the mariners' compass. But this clairh of theirs,like the discovery of roast pig and the use of gunpowder, has never, been put to the test of literary research. It is, therefore, pleasant t o learn that an ex- haustive inquiry just made proves not only that they invented the most important im- plement in navigation, , but that Europe copied itfrom them. Four centuries l eftire the ,Christian . era, a Chinese', author mentions the South pointing Needle," but it was not until A. D. 324 that the compass; hitherto used to indicate the position of the stars in calculating nativities, assumed its present form. ,At first, it floated on water supported on a piece of wood, the pivot being an improve- ment copiedfrom the Japanese, who again had learned this nicety from the Portuguese. But long before the' compass was used' in Europe, the Arabs trading "to China em- ployed it on- board their dhows, and from them undoubtedly the invention reached the western barbarian, and was forthwith impro- ved upon. The Arabs, however, used the western notation to marl*, the quarters and inermediilte'points' of 'the horizon. When, therefore, the mariners' compass was adopted by them, the Chinese system of twenty-four points, resting on. the old astrological division of the horizon into twelve double hours, was not communicated.

" You 'are, in fact," he concluded, " dis- coursing on_niy ownspecial subject." Such a statemeutwould have disconcerted a ' man who had talked with one even flow for the space of 150 minutes ; blit not at all. With the placid confidence of the thorough- paced bore he sweetly remarked : " Ah, well," you see how copiously I can talk on that subject. Next time I call you shall see that I can be quite as fluent on an- other branch of knowledge." The second call has not yet taken place. When we hear of cases like those above cited we are tempted to wish that all men had something,of Carlyle's rudeness. The mighty Thomas was bidding " good-bye " to a very conceited youug man who had fav- ored him with a long sermon on things in general ;,he- went politely -to the door .-and said : " Well, Mr. Bland, I've received ye for the sake of your father. Now, good.by ; and I easnly hope I'll• never see ye again !" On another occasion Carlyle looked in a passionless way at the visitor who had been holding forth for ever so long and said : " Man, but ye're a puir apreature."-Irish Times. A.

" Yours !" cried the duke. "Do you understand geometry and Latin ? " ' " I know a little of them," answered bhe. boy modestly. The duke, having a taste for the sciences, began to talk to the young student, and was astonished at the clearness and intelligence of his answers. " But how came you to know so much ?" asked the duke. " One of the servants taught me to read," answered the lad : "one does not need to know anything Inure than the -26 -letters' in - order to. learn everything else one wishes." But the nobleman wished to know more about it. " After I learned to read," said the boy, "- the mason came to work on your house ; I noticed the architect use a rule and com- passes, and made a great many calculations. 'Whit was the meaning and use of that?' I asked, and they told of a science called arith- metic. I bought an arithmetic and studied it through. They then told me there was another science .called geometry. Then I found that there were better books about these sciences in Latin. I bought a dic- tionary and learned Latin. I heard there were better ones in French. I gota dic- tionary andlearned French. It seems to me we may learn everything when we know the 26 letters of the alphabet."

Itis beingsug- gested that flaring ears are now very much more common than formerly, and the preva- lence of these ungracefulhead appendages is ascribed to the discarding of the 'caps Which our grandmothers, some of our mothers, in. deed, wore night and day. What the race has lost in aural beauty, however, it has certainly gained in immunity from head colds during infancy, as these caps kept the little pates they inclosed in a condition of tenderness and susceptibility• that made them easy prey to draughts. Mothers and nurses may avoid disfigured ears by a little watchfulness of their manner of putting their charges in crib or bed. For such youngsters as may' have escaped such care and thus come into the possession of ears rampant, an " ear cap" may be procured which is a set of tapes keeping the ears close to the ]read, 'to be worn 'at "night. --Nett; York' Times; Three thrones in Europe are now occupied ; by children -those of .
