' Bellied Workhouse authorities are in a dilemma, having failed to discover any rel- atives of au apparently destitute pauper rained James Stewart, who died. suddenly after admiseion. When his clothing was sCarched nearly L2060 in Uniwd States money and 20 shares in mining companies were found atitched inside the lining of his coat, although be declared himself penniless when admitted. The Liverpool couuty coroner was on Sat- urday informed that on Friday afteraoon man, at present unknown, was shot by a boy in Ise.zakerly. The man was looking over a fence into a field in which a number of boys were playing, when, whether by ac- cident or design, one of them fired a shot., which struck the man. He fell insensible, and was taken to the Railway Hotel, where he died about two hours afterwards. De- ceased was about 35. A mysterions discovery, tending strongly to suspicion of murder, was made at Hawk - thaw Lane, near Bolton, on Sundae. A who had wandered to a brook, found the body of a man with his throat terribly gashed. He is a stranger to the locality, and how he met with his injuries is un- known. No weapon was found near him which would lead to the suspicion of sui- oide. It, is believed the deceased comes from Failswortb. The Royal College of Physicians haspass. a resolution to the effeet that this college regards the sale and purchase of practices or the transfer of patients from one physician to another for a pecuniary consideration among fellows or members of its body as contrary to the traditions and practice of the college, interfering with the freedom of patients, and derogatory to the position of a physician." A Government industrial school for boys is to be started at Lucknow, with the view of teaching native boys the elements of car- pentry. They will be taught how to use European tools. The incapacity of the Hindoo in this respect is his chief draw- back. The Iiindoo carpenter at work does not push the plane from him, but draws it towards him. He works his saw, too, in the way opposite* to the European joiner, and to accommodate him in this meanie the teeth of the native saw are turned the op- site way to ours. A European carpenter forces the plane and saw from hum; a Hin- doo carpenter does the contrary. During the journey of the Princess o Wales and the Princesses Victoria and lelaud to Scotland last Friday night, an in- cident matured at Peterborough where the reyal c triages had to be shunted from the Great detern to the Great Northern Rail- way.

A measure is being introduced in Egypt which proves the value of British rule and the importance of preserving i b. According to The Times, 14 �tbe chief towns of the Delta and Upper Egypt are to be endowed with municipal councils, which will receive the octroi and other town due e hitherto paid into the treasury. This is a marvel- lous step in advance and shows what strides the previously leech oppressed and abused Egyptian knell must be making in intelli- eence CL and cRlrenhcerying for t eirparents'o wives ing their husbands, and husbands mourn - lug their wives. Hamburg's vast commerce with all natione is at a standstill Her miles of wharfage are lined, and double lined, with idle steamships and sail- ing vessels, and only an occasional tug or lighter diaturbs her waters. Her faaniles law° fled from the great houses and beautiful grounds of Hohenfelde and Uh len- horst, on the one side of the A.ussen-Alster, and from Harvestehude and Rotherbaum on the other. Her hotels are vacant save for an occasional benighted traveler, and her schools, theatres, opera, houses, aud concert halls are closed.

FACE TO FACE WITII DEATU. It is almoat impossible to realize without having experienced it the depressing offeot of the continual reminders of the preemie° of disease and deeth. Turn from one street where a fuueral is passing and 0, waggon load of new coffinis on its way to tia mortuary, and, oue meets perhaps two or threemo e hearses with attendant mourners and an ambulance containing a hospital at- tendant and a dying woman wrapped in blankets. All these patio funerals one meets in the better parts of the city, and they are outside the daily quota, of unfortu- nates who are carted away at night to be buried in a long treuch in Potter's Field. From morning until night these dreary pro- cessions aro wending their way to the ceme- teries, and from morning until night the hearses are hurriedly returning thence for new employment, and groups of profession- al mourners, curiously clad in knee breeches buckled shoos, white ruffs, and barettas, are hurrying from 'emplace to another, es their se•rincea are required. The undertakers' men are so worn out with long bonne of work that it is no uncommon thing to see two or three of them asleep in a hearse re- turning from a burial. Those mourners who eanuot afford the trappings end state of woe far their dead and yet will not let them be bursed by mild Hamburg charity have en- gaged all sorts of vehieles for the convey- ance of the black biers to a final resting place for the remains of their beloved. I have seen coffins jolt by on baggage wagons and butchers' carts, with crying women clinging to the driver's set and little cbildren sitting stolidly bebind won- dering what it was altabout On tillatly 1 witnessed a peculiarly pa- thetic sight -it carriage containing it very young husband midwife robed in black, she weeping bitterly on his shoulder, while the tiniest of 6/vet:mount ed coffins, covered with flowers, on the front seat told the story of their grief. Two subsidiary trage- dies growing out of the epidemic wore re- ported yesterday. One was that of a car - ?enter who had lost his wife and three chil- dren and who blew out his brains, and the other that of the witiow of a well-to-do mer - °bent who succumbed on Sunday. She drowned herself in the Aussen-Alster. There are 110 thildreu who have been committed to one asylum alone, all or- phaned by the cholera. neertenestinco SCENES. The first visit was to the mortuary on Borgfelder strasse, near the general 'hospit- al. A vacant lot had been ternpodarily con- verted into a ,3 orgue, and a large wooden shed erected. As far as we could see in Borgfelder strasse long...linos of mourning carriages stret back on both sides of the street, relieved at long interv Is by tall hearses, with their nodding plumes and sombre trappings. A throng of children were gathered at the entrance to the mortu- ary, but they were as hushed and silent as their elders. Gloom was upon the locality. This was the spot where the bodies of the better class of cholera victims were buried, those whose friends could afford carriages and profeesionat mourners. So many fun- erals were in progress, however, that some mourners were compelled to wait hours for the opportunity to bring their dead to the hearses. A glance along this double line of mourn- ing carriages gave some idea of the imparti- ality with which the plague selects its vic- tims from old and young. In one carriage four tearful children sat, evidently on their way to the burial of a father or mother, or perhaps both. In another a young widow sat alone. In others fathers and mothers were waiting for the hearses to bring out the bodies of their children. At least ten hearses were in the mortuary yard, and a score of men were haudling the coffins, while groups of the professional mourners in their sombre uniforms gathered about that particular corpse that they were paid to mourn, and directed its transporta- tion to the hearse. In a shed were perhaps 'twenty bodies of men, and women, all wound about in white disinfecting cloth and emit- gthe powerful odor of carbolic acid. Each corpse had a paper pinned to its wrappings, bearing' a number which corresponded to ahe names ',that were registered by the morthery clerk. Men were lifting these bodies into the coffins, others were screwing down the coffin lids, and still others were carrying the coffins to the hearses, under the direction of a chief of staff, with the same regularity and industry that one wit- nesses in a well regulated work -shop. In the corner of the shed nearest the door were six little coffins ranged in a row, some with wreaths of flowers 141013 them. Eaoh was decorated with a label which contained the name and age of the victim, and name and address of its parents. The greetest age that hall been reached by the forrner occupants of these small bodies was four years, and on the tiniest coffin of all there was it mark drawn across the printed form in the place where the p,ge should have been recorded.

Among these .00rpses staring with their dead eyes open, worked a dozen men etraightening the rigid limbs into eimpe, and wrapping them about like mummies in the disinfecting clothes in which they were to be buried. Each body was then fast- ened to enarrow board, reaching from bead to feet, with heavy string, in order that it might remain in proper shape, and then in 0, further shed they wore piled one above the other on reeks until their coffine should be made ready. The comparison is a brutal one, but the reeks with their enshrouded occupants reminded me of a packirg house where slaughtered sheep were being pre- pared for transportation. AT TUE ITOSPITAL, As we passed into the hospital yard two hearses drove in, and I eoticed a great, pile of cellists behind the barreoke. "'es," said Dr. Yolasse, "there are a few being btxried from here, but only twenty or thirty a, day," It was a pitiful sight that met our eyes as we entered the first barraak. Ole it double row of beds on either side of the room lay women in all stages of disease and death. The occupant of the bed nearest the door had drawn her feet up cao that they ahnosb touched the mall of he back. Her face was alMOSt black, and her eyes were turned so that only the whites eould be Seen. "Site is not suilbring," said Dr. Yolasee. "She is past it. She is dying -all but dead." Next to the dying W011iall'S couch was that of a rather pretty young girl with blaek eyes and hair, who watelied her neighbor's death struggles with apathy and took no notice of the presenee of strangers. Furth, er down the room, a Sister of Charity bent over the bed of a, dying woman, and at the furthest end two stout nurses were lifting a corpse from a bed to a stretcher, and they presently passed us earrying it out. Each bed entained apatient, some o them writhing and moaning, others tossing restlessly, stnd still others seeming to rest quietly. We looked in at the doors at the other .barracks where the scene was much the saine-dead and dying men and women and busy nurses and doctors. "Just come down to the end of tho gar- den," said Dr. Yolasse cheerfully, "and 1 will show yon the dissecting room. You see we make a, post-mortem examination of each bodes to see if it is real cholera that they die of." We passed a number of coffins on the way to the end of the garden, geme with num- bered lids screwed down, others with the lids half off revealing naked bodies. With- in, four or fivehearses were waiting 'ender the sheelow of the trees, and a number of men and -women were attempting to identi- fy friends and relatives in the -corpses that were being continually. brought from the hospital. Tee dissecting roans remains an unpleas- ant 100111017 in my mind. Two or three physicians were at work there. Dr. Yolas- se told= that ou e of his staff ef physiciene, nurses, end attendants who were continual- ly at work among the cholera patients only two bad caught the disease, and only one of those bad died, while none of the non-chol- erne patients who were obliged to remain in the hospital after the cholera patients were brought there had been attacked by the malady.

Nicholas Rosanoff, captain of the Russian army and navy, and an attache of the Rus- sian Royal Engineers, is on his way to Viadivostook, Siberia' where he will take charge of the work ofbuilding the longest railway in the world. This has just been begun by the Russian Government. It will be built from Vladivostock, on the Siberian coast,to Moscow, Russia, a distance of 11,e00 versts, or about 8000 English miles. Captain Rosanoff says this immense line, almost three times the distence across the United States, :will be completed in five years, and commerce will be almost revolu- tionised thereby. "The Russian Government has ample funds to build the road," says Captain Itosamoff "and there will be no delays in the work of constructnen. Tw i hundred miles of the line has already been built. Enormous docks and barracks for the army and naval stations which will be located at the eastern terminus of the road will also be buile." Captain Rosattoff has received numerous letters froni his fellow officers in which they expressed their gratitude to the British people in responding so readily to the re- quests for food for the famine -stricken peasants of Russia. Good crops were assur- ed this year. Brown -Tones---" My dear Mrs. Youngold pray don't think me rude'but are those flowers natural or artificial?" Mrs. Young- old--" Artificial."
