Woolwich correspondent sends the following to a Glasgow paper :--The young man, Charles Malvin, charged with abstracting and publishing the State document known as the 'Anglo - Russian Agreement,' was resident for several years in Russia. His parents are still living in St. Petersburg. where his father, who was formerly as engin- eer and draughtsman in Woolwich Doek•yard, holds an appointment. Young Marvin travelled a great deal in Russia, and is intimately acquainted HOW FAR. He was a seedy, threadbare -looking individual, and occupied a seat in the ladies' car. J.he conductor inquired for tickets ; the threadbare man shook his head sadly 'Well, money then, Be quick, Coma man, brace up!' 'No money,' still ead!y. 'Get off at the next station.' Chalk with the order will pay for insertion of either of the following: A full column advertisement, A ten -inch double column, or A full column of reading matter, THE TIMES During a dancing party at a place called Mohohler, near Ballingarry, county Tipperary, two men, named Fox and O'Brien, were stabbed, and the injuries proved fatal. Six persons who were present at the party have arrested. Yes, sir, of course.' The station was reached, the man got off but got on again as soon as the train began to move, and resumed his with the language in several dialects, l old position. as well as being proficient in other for•' Again the conductor approached. oign tongues. Onacrountof the climate affecting his sight he came home about two years ago, and has since lived in Plumstead, appearing occasionally in public as a lecturer on scintific subjects and displaying considerable intelligence. Having corresponded while in St. Pe- tersburg with one or two English news- papers, he at first tried to earn a living upon the press. but met with iutliller- eut success, and, after passing the usu- al examination, was apoporuted to the C':letows Department under the Civil Service regulations at 10 pence an hour. Some timelaterst r la lz his knowledge of language, he ws ala.. pointed to the treaty departnleut of the Foreign 01110 at the 801114 salaries as before, which amounted to about £80 per annum, and he alleged that he never made any secret of the fact that he was in the habit of increasing his income by literary work. The office iu which he was employed consista of two rooms, one of which is occupied by i. r. Marou,the superinteudent of the treaty department, and the other by Mr. Ir- ving and the prisoner. Mr. March and. 1Ir. Irving are confidential officers, the farmer receiving 4000 and the Latta r £60O a year. The accused admits that he sent the document to the Globe, writtng it etV from reeelleoti"n after he had left the office, a task rendered easy by the systoin of artifice' memory wbieh bo cultivated early in life. It will be contended on his behalf that he leas not committed any offence iu law, the statutes under which he is charged (21 h. Via., cap. 08, ON 30,) Providing that "whosoever shall steal, or for any fraudulent purpose take from its place of deposit for the time being, or fr•um any person having the lawful oustodv thereof, and shall unlawfully and ma- liciously coneesl, obliterate, injure or d•}stroy the whole or any part of or original doonment in any wise re- lating to the business of any office or employment under her niejesty shall be guilty of felony,and being con- victed thereof, shall be liable at the dis- 'What !. you here ? I thought I told you to get off ?' 'Yes. sir.' 'Well, did you ?' 'Yes,' sir, of course.' 'But you got on again.' 'Yes, sir, of course.' 'Well, my friend, next time I want you to get off, and stay off. Do you understand that ?' Obtaining no answer, the irate con- ductor passed on, As the train stop. ped in the next town the conductor looked in the car—The neat was empty. Satisfied, the conductor passed through the cars as soon as they were out of the city. There sat the thread- bare personage in the carne seat very much interested in the scenery. The conductor gave Sina a viciou" dig in the rills. `D1d't I tell you to get off, andstay off '' 'Yea,' sir, of course,' 'Well, you didn't do it ?' 'Yes, sir, of ct]uree-----' "What ?' '�Etlt----•.—' 'Well, now my friend,' went on the conductor, 'do you know what Inca go- ing to do with you. I'm going to matte an example for 'beats,' The break - man and I will kick you from one of the elation to the other when we wtop." 'Yes, sir, of course,' answered the seedy man, ]uoekly. True to his word, the iritato conduc- tor and breakman laid in wait fol our meek but pennilessfriond,and when the train stopped in Worcester, they seized him by tae collar and kicked hitt from one end of the depot to the other. 'There !' said the o•fuduct.lr ; I guess we are rid of hila.' The train steamed out of SVorehester. The man of ehoecks went through the usual routi,te,and when he came to the Iodine' car he saw the mneh•dbnsed but patient individual in the same spat, gazing southward. He approached him.

'Well, conductor, I am going to Bos - son, if my pluck and my pants held out.' 'You can ride 1 said the eouductor, ae he passed on, and the last words he heard, were a triumphant : 'Yes, sir, of course.' SCIENCE. The blood is one-fifth the weight of the body. The muscles of the human jaw exert a force of 534 lbs. An ordinary gas flame requires as much air as nine persons. The Iierht of lightning and its reflec- tions will penetrate through a distance of from 150 to 200 miles. Flame is quenched in air containing 8 per cent. of carbogic acid ; the same perceutage is fatal to animal life. A heavy dew is regarded aa,the pre- cursor of rain, because its formation indicates that the air is saturated with moisture. At Kingston-ou-Thames, soil brought up from a depth of 300 feet, and then covered with a hand -glace, exhibited speedy vegetation. A fish in Java calltd the ejaculator, catches flies and other insects by squirt- ing from its mouth some water, and seldom misses its aim at a distance of 5 or 6 feet, bringing down a fly with a single drop. Mountainous localities are more rainy than flat ones, because the moun tains attract the clouds, and because• the olouda that are flying low are borne against the sides of the mountains and directed upwards, where they sleet with cold currents of air. The safest situation to be in during a thunder storm, is the centre of a room, isolated as far as possible from surrounding objects, sitting in a chair, and avoiding handling any of the con- ducting substances. The windows and doors should be closed to prevent drafts. FAT PEOPLE.
