It is to be hoped the story is not true ; for if it is, it would appear that °Mears of the law are doing their best to make bribery respect- able. The burglary in Montreal on Saturday was certainly one of the most extraordinary on record. Not content with carrying away three iron safes—one large oneworth 51,800 —the enterprising burglars made away with books, bookcases', desks, chairs, letter- presses, counters, and even the flooring, in- cluding the jadeite. When the proprietor of the ransacked premises came upon the scene in the morning he no doubt felt grateful that the ceiling and wells were still left to him. In such a case even the smallest mer - dee are greatly to be appreciated. At a tea meeting in a New Brunswick parish there were some unusual features provided. In one corner of the church an enclosure was prepared, within which two young ladies were sawing wood into stove lengths.

It is a wonder that in order to make the leap year effect complete, the young pastor— and be must have been a very young pastor —was not shut up in another corner and a detachment of young ladies engaged to afflict him with proposals of marriage. The practices in many matters in the var- ious provinces are curiously. divergent. In Nova Scotia and British Columbia there are divorce courts, but there are none here.

A reporter tor the Pall Mall Gazette re- centlyconversed with Mr. Bartlett, superin- tendent of the London Zoological Gardens, about his experience with the hipp6potamus. According to Mr. Barelett's account, this curious animal makes an 'interesting pet, although—as is the case with some human animals—its temper is rather uncertain. It would be straining a point to call it thin- skinned, since its skin is two inches or more thick, but there are times to say the least, when it seems to he unconifortably touchy. Mach, the first hippopotamus that came to the gardens, was presentedby the Viceroy of Egypt in 1851. ile died in 1879. For some reason or other the brute got attached to me. I believe it was because I talked to him whenever I saw him. We were the greatest of friends'and he was so docile that I used to ride on his back. In 1852,1 was engaged in mounting a speoi, men hippo for the Crystal Palace, and went into Obach's den to make somemeasure- ments. Thinking no evil, I was busy with my tape, when it suddenly slipped, and the brute turned around on me with a furious snort, gnashing his jaws fiercely. I rushed for my life, and escaped through the rails ; the keeper, who was with me, did the same. It was a very near thing, indeed, for both,of us. At present we have only one hippopotamus here,—the daughter of Obach,—who was born in 1872. Well, one day a stray dog strolled casually intothe gardens and stopped before the rails of the hippo's outside in - closure. The day was warm, the pool was tempt- ing, so the dog wriggled through the rails and sprang into the water to his doom. The hippo rose to the surface, and, roaring, took the dog into her great jaws and crushed him to bits. Another narrow escape was that of a keep- er who came hems to the gardens very late one stifling August night. Be was slightly tipsy and very hot, so he stripped off his clothes and plunged into the pool. .Unfor- tunately, the hippo was also in the pool, dozing away m the dark solitudes. The keeper of course, thought that he was locked up in a cage. He did not discover his mistake till his hands came in contact with the back of the huge amphibian. The hippo swam after the man, bit was not quick enough. The keeper just escaped, and when he wanted a bath afterward, he took it else- where. Had the brute got at him, only his mangled remains wduld have been found to tell the tale. When our baby hippo was born the mother was terribly savage. I was afraid he would kill herself and her baby m well. We were compelled to feed them throngh the ventilator, and never dared to go into the house. SZVEUITV WILL rrsOVOliii UNIOALIOX.

But how seldom do we see thia blessed union in family govern- ment With so many examples, on the one hand which warn parents against over -indulgence, and on the oth er encourage them in using all needed discipline, it is strange that they do not am and learn to avoid all disputes and diacussiona with referenceto family gov- ernment in the presence of their children. They not only lose the respectof those who should naturally look to them for help and guidence ; but, still worse, they do incal- culable injury to those whom they should Iove and protect, when, forgetting their children's best interests, and their solemn duty, They dispute and reorltninato when- ever a ease of discipline is unavoidable, and dare to do so where their children and ser- vants can hear and see the whole shameful wraugle.

CHILDREN' ARE VICIE OEURYERv, and arrive at singularly correct conclusions. They soot learn which parent is the most reedy to conceal their Write and overlook their shortcomings, and soon learn to turn to that one for help to escape punishment, or to secure the gratification of a whim which the other has forbidden. And it is very ead to see how quickly they learn to care little for either parent, and that love which is onlygiven when their own demands i are satisfied s purely selfish, and of little value. Aside from the loss of all truefilial respect and affection, the moral character soon de- teriorates, and the child becomes stubborn and passionate. When the father com- mands, and the mother openly or privately cancels the injunction, or the mother prom- ises an indrdgence, and the father forbids or revokes it, who ean wonder if the spirit of revolt and bitterness is aroused ?—fortun- Me if it does not become hatred. No surer means can parentemploy to destroy their children, even if they were seeking to effect their ruin. But bad, cruel, as this is, 1818 not the worst feature in parental disagreement. The mischief does not end here. The par- ents themselves at length become ALIENATED AND EMBITEERBD by such dissensions, leading sometimes to disputer; acid quarrehr on all subjects, and what can more effectually.cultivate a child's selfishness, jealousy and mercenary nature than such exhibitions in. those whom God ordained to be the children's guides and teachers. Better far are early deaths than life and health for children that must other- wise grow up under the malign influences of divided counsels between their parents. It is a very easy thing, and can be done without losing respect or love, for parents whose views on family governmeut dieter somewhat, to agree between themselves on some compromise, but in the presence of their children or others, these differences should never be mentioned. Even if one parent unmistakeably misjudges, better by far to let the mistake pass trunoticed than to dis- pute, or one parent interfere in the presence of the servants or the children.

It is elaimed by Texas under the name of Greer County, and by the United States as a part of the Indian Territory, and is also known as "No Man's Land." Belonging defibitely to no torganized community, it is governed by no laws, and has long been the resort of desperadoes of all kinss. The land has never been sold by any proper authority, and the thousands of settlers there—stock- men and ranchers—hold their possessions by aquatter sovereignty. Tile President has jest issued a proclamation warning all persons whatever against gelling or other- wise "disposing of uny of said land or ex - erasing or attempting to exercise any au- thority over" it ; and also warning "all persons against purchasing any part of the territory from any person or persons whom- soever." .Ait enormous amount of Ian d swindling has already been perpetrated by locating Texas land grants in "freer County," and selling the certificates to greenhorns, and this proclamation should have been issued over two years ago.

It won't be necessary for you to leave much money for a tombstone. The few people who love you, who tenderly and dearly and truly love you, will know which mound covera your sleeping figure, and. they can find it just by the ferns anclgrass- es that wave above it, and a monument ninety feet high won't make strangers love you, or make them remember you. you may not be missed a great deal by very many people when you die, ray boy, but that ,isn't what you want to think about. You want to make yourself felt and noticed while you are here. That's what you want to do. And that is more than most men do. Just run your eye over this paragraph again, if you have time, and think over it a little, while you are waiting for morning service to begin. Now and then you will meet a man who actually rejoices in a mean, envious sort of way to think plat in a few years his more popular, prosperous, enema - fill neighbor will be dead and forgotten. It may be ;true. The big, wide world is so busy with the living, that she does see01 to forget her children when they fall asleep. But yon will notice that that the man who rejoices in this is usually a man whom she has forgotten while he yet lives; who is notnotioed ; who is not felt or heard in the world at all. Now, do you go ahead,' my boy, and don't stop to wonder whether the world will remember you and miss you one hundred years from now—little you'll care for this Old World in a hundred years; Heaven send it may be under your feet then—you just go ahead and make yourself felt now. When you are gone the world will 'get along without you, my boy; but while you are here do you make it under- stand that you are running part of tido show yourself, if it is nothing more than standing at the tent door and directing the people to pass to the right and move along in front of the oases. Prince Ferdinand. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria looks upon his duties in a different way from his prede- °moor. PrinceAlexander considered itreason enough for abdicating that Russia insisted upon it, and he held that in so doing he was best serving Bulgaria,. Prince Ferdinand would "rather leave his bones on the battle- field than abdicate," became this latter would be abandoning and ruining,Ilalgaria. The present ruler pcsaibly overestimates his personal importance to the principality, yet he has doubtless been of real value in fur-. nishing to it a head, and thereby giving a head, and thereby giving a greater semb- lance of public order and security. The re- port that the powers contemplate a com- bined boycotting or " blookade "of Bulgaria in case Ferdinand should not resign'al- though exceedingly doubtful, yet recalls the process made ready for refractory Greece when that little kingdom persisted, at great expense, in preparing to fight. There would probably be no difficulty in disposing quiet- ly of Prince Ferdinand could the surround- ing powers only agree why they want a vacancy and for whom they want it. In the lack of such agreement, and of any com- mon notion what to do next, Prince Ferdin- and seems justified in holding his place, even if only as the man in. possession.— N. Y. Times.
