THE PARTIES INTERESTED

Militant ia e son of Mr. John Malmo,
fernier, of Burlington. He is about twenty
years of age and has eothang in appearance
to indicate the murderer. His coolness,
hewever, is strange. His mother, we hear,
is sabject occasionally to derangement. He
is well spoken of at Margate, apd has borne
an excellent character, He is a communi-
cant of the EpiscopalCleurch. From the
evidence he seems very considerate of his

THE SCENE OF THE 1.RAGEDY
is situated in one of the most beautiful por-
tions of the Island. The roads leading to
it are clothed on every side With beech and
maple. The home of the murdered girl
stauds in from the highway, covered with
ivy. In front a dense woods with a sheep
track spreads out down to the shore of
the South-West or Eel River. On the
other side, and eeome distance up the road
is the home ef Millman. Tuesday night,
as the shadows gathered, she slipped out on
the road, entered the gloom of the woods
—and the rest is yet untold. If trees could
speak what horrors could they unveil.
Whether it was in those woods, upon the
beach, or in the boat, the deed was done,
none but an avenging God and the demoniac
perpetrators know but as the bullets crush-
ed through the neck and head of the trusting
' and unsuspecting victim, and the soul went
out in a wild shriek of anguish to its Goda

snapping and snarling like a dog. As soon
as he was quiet I began to ask questions of
, the family, and soon found that he had been
bitten by a strange dog that caane into the
cow lot one morning and was snapping at the
cattle. He attempted to drive the animal
out, but the dog turned on him and, jumping
up, inflicted a slight wound on his left arm.
It was nothing more than a scratch, had
healed up in a day or so, and nothing more
was thought of it. From the description of
the dog I was confident that it Was thesame
that a few da bf db killed in the
neighborbood undoubtedly mad, and I could
no longer doubt what was the matter
with my patient.
"His cries when he went into the spasms
were terrible to hear. I gave him various
remedies to quiet him, but they seemingly
had no effect. At this time I happened to
think of the bottle of chloroform. I had
then been at work on the patient for over
two hours and had not been able to give him
any relief whatever, and I was pretty well
assured that the man would die anyway. I
was alone with him, excepting' members
of the family, who would not know the
difference, and I determined to try an exper-
iment, either to quiet the man or kill him
with the chloroform. When his next spasm
'came on I saturated a cloth with the liquid
and placedit to the patient's.nose and mouth.
He struggled for a long time, but at last the
drug did its work and he sank back insen-
sible. He soon cameto, the spasm still on
him, and I again treated him in the same
way. This I continued during the remainder
of the night and until 9 o'clock the next
morning, using up all the chloroform I had
and sending for a new supply several times,
using in allsabout three pounds. At 9 o'clock
the next morning the patient went to sleep.
When he wakened up he acted like a per-
son dazed or half foolish, A slimy, stringy
secretion ran out of his mouth continually,
and he seemed to have no desire for food,
and he could not swallow anything. In a
few years he died with consumption.

Tobacco and Filth,
As we look 'at a servile slave of tobacco,
one long degraded by at, noticing the ap-
pearance of his face ad garments, we are
readytto adopt the language of a lady: "No
human being who has any reasonable regard
for decency,- not to say for politeness and
refinement, should ever assume to thrust
himself into the company of the. average
lady, while his clothing, his pockets, his
whole system, are saturated with the dis-
gusting stench of the vile weed.' It is ,
dithoult for a refine lady to pass the streets
without being sickened, disgusted, and nau-
seated, if she walks behind a tobacco stuffed
male—not a true man 1 Were I a young
lady I would indignantly reject the best ap-
pearing young man of the times, without re-
gard to his character in other respects, if I
detected the stench of tobacco, for I could
not be induced to be contaminated by such
breath, could not associate with one so very ,
offensive to me in this regard." There is '
something in tobacco which directly and I
completely meets the abnormal demands of
a low, depraved, and degraded nature, while
it is well calculated to destroy the finest
sensibilities, degrading any one just to the
extent that he becomes a slave. We should
not be proud that we borrowed the habit
from the beastly Indians, while it is humil-
iating to know that the more enlightened
nations of Europe almost insanely sought
after the "vile weed," greedily devoured it
as if it had been a boon to humanity. Its
use was vigorously opposed by the great and
good, yet but thirty years had elapsed after
its introduction into England, before vast
sums were spent for it, arousing the ire and
indignation of King James, who in his pecu-
liar and quaint style, said of it, by way of
denunciation: "It is a custome loathsome
to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to
the braine, dangerous to the lungs, and in
the black, stinking fumes thereof nearest
resembling the horrible Stigiau smoke of
the pit that is bottomless."
iIs Stanley Dead?
Rumours about the traveller Stanley
having been murdered or drowned have been
going the rounds. They are not yet au-
thenticated, but there is no absurdity in
their turning out correct. It is known that
Stanley has been zu great difficulties on ac-
count of the dearth of provisions in the
region through which he ban been passing.
Even the missionaries in the locality have
treated him very far from handsomely, and
She whole circumstances render a fight with
She natives exceedingly natural. It is to be
hoped, however, that the rumour will turn
out to be a false one. Stanley is tewoudea-
fully plucky, resourceful man. There is
mucla work still ia those regions for him to
do, and it is to be hoped that he wilt be
spared to do it. At the same time, of
course, no man is indispensable.. The world
wags on, though the greatest and most use-
ul die, and the African problem will go on
to its solution who ever may die or dis-
appear. If Stanley is dead, he has died at
his post trying to do his special appointed
piece of work as thoroughly and completely
as he knew how. What more could any
man wish.? He Will add. another name to
the role of heroic African explorers and
that ought to be enough for any man's
ambition. His death will not stop the pro-
gress of African exploration by a day. Quite
the opposite.

Awkward.
Some apologies are a thousand times worse
Shan even rude silence. An exchange says
that a gentleman addicted to malapropos re-

noon ?" "That, sir, was my sister." "Oh,

London. Society chronicles a neverato-be-
forgotten blunder perpetrated by some one
who luckily for himself, was never identified
as its author.
A gala dinner was to be given at a Berlin
hotel. Among the late arrivals was a Prus-
sian, of high rank and higher pretensions.
There was still, as he entered a little stir
and Inistle unavoidable in the sitting down
of a large company, and he was threading
his way to his place, when some one laid a
hand on his sleeve, calling out rather tartly,
in German, "But, I say, can't you tell me
where I am to sit ?"
The Prussian, struck dumb, drew bank
for a moment, but soon recovered frotn his
amazement, He rose to his full height and
tensed back his head, saying, very stiffly,
"Do you take me for a waiter ?"
" Oh no 1" stammered the stranger, just
glancing at hint, and perceiving his very
natural mistake. And by way of a soothing
apology he blurted out, "Not for a waiter,
but thr the heed -waiter 1"
The pool' blunderer whisked himself off,
mid thereby probably escaped a challenge,
for the Prussian hunted for him the livelong
evening, but bcing unable to remember his

Russia's Siberian Railway.
A very impOrtant decision in Russiari
railway construction has just been come to
regarding a scheme which has often been
ridiculed as utterly incapable of present
realization. The great " through Siberian
railway" right away to the Pacific is to be
commenced at last. The prolongation of
the railway now in progress through Eka-
terinburg and Tiumen, will shortly be met
by several other lines, laid across the Si-
berian plains from the port of Vladivostock..
On Monday last the emperor approved the
decision of the state council to make im-
mediate surveys for the laying of a railway '
from Tomsk to Irkutsk and Stretinsk, the
That town on the Shilka, an affluent to the,
Armor, and from Lake Khanka., or f
Henkel, to Vladivostock. The surveys and
construction are to be confined to the minis -1
ter for war, under the guidance of the,
governors geneinal of the Usuri or Amoor
district and Eastern Siberia, Baron Korf
and Gen, Ignatieff. The latter is the brother a
of the famous diplomatist and ex -minister.
Part of the line is, if possible, to be com-1 t
menced next spring, and it is estimated 0
that the whole may be completed in about' h
five years. Direct communication will thenf
be established by alternate railway and
water transport between St. Petersburg t
and Russia's Pacific ports, occupying a-
bout 15 days—from Se Peterleurg to Tiu•
men 5 days, Tiurhenno Tornsk 3 days, Tomsk
to Stretinsk 2 days, Stretinsk to Khanka
Lake, by the Amoon4 days, mid from
Khanke, to Vladivostock I day. This i
Siberian Pacific ainnectiug line is of course p
called for by important strategical consi- e
aerations. Baron Korft, who, as well as s
his colleague Ignatieff, has been staying here
for several montlit, insists on the necessity
of having a railway laid from the east of the
Baikal lake io the Shilka in order to enable
him to get reinforcements a troops from
Irkutsk within it reasonable time up to his
of the Chirtete frontier,

Mrs. Campbell•Praed, in Temple Bar for
July, in a racy article on "Some American
Impressions," gives an account of some of
the ways of New York interviewers. Along
with her husband, she was travelling " in
the company of an author, politician, and
historianwho has a remarkable popularity
in America." "We have been privileged,
therefore," she says, "to experience 'inter-
viewing' in perhaps one of its highest phases
of development; and if in the case of my
husband and myself the experience is of a
somewhat vicarious kind—for we are merely
satellites of the planet, and shine by reflect.
ed light—it is not the less extraordinary and
diverting. The &et stearretug which made
out to the Britannic conveyed a suave, polite
gentleman with a note -book, who, on the
part of the New York Herald, requested
the favour of our friend the author's views
over a considerable range of subjects.
The next steamer brought it political depu-
tation and select band of reporters. One
of them, when he had asked how I liked
America, observed oracularly, Well, I
guess you'll be surprised,' and I was very
much surprised. Before we reached the
wharf our party was reinforced by three de-
puta.tions swelled into one big one, and a
perfect mob of reporters. 4 There's been
some mistake about the steamers
continued my reporter. I call him my re.
porter, by the way, not because he particu-
larly wanted to report me, but because he
showed an obliging willingness to take
charge of me and enlighten my ignorance.
`If it hadn't been for the uncertainty, there
would have been a lot more of us.' There
was, however, no scarcity of them. The
gentlenien of the press swarmed like a hive
! of bees. Our friend the author, under the
mistaken impressicn that he might com-
lete all the interviewing at one stroke, al -
owed himself to be conducted to the
saloon, and there interviewed by all collec-
tively. They buzzed about him with their
note -books, and we left him to be devoured
by some score or so, while we vainly tried
to collect our belongings. At the hotel the
interviewers seemed determined teat our
unfortunate friend should neither eat nor
sleep. One was in possession when we ar-
rived. Ere many minutes had passed he
had gathered unto himself seven other in-
terviewers, and when that seven had de-
parted there came other seven. The au.
thor's voice grew faint, but the interviev.mrs
lingered on. A hurried meal was snatched
at Iast, but not in peace. The interviewers
penetrated to the dining -room, and the
last of them — for that day — announced
himself at 11.30 P.M. For three days
they brooded like the locusts of Egypt.
I got in the end to have an affection for
the interviewers. Allowing for their
task, they were kindly and considerate.
They were always courteous and oblig-
ing. There were mostly lean, long men,
with thin faces and bright eyes, and they,
did not want much drawing out to give their
views on things in general. I gleaned a good
deal of information concerning American
practices and malpractices from our friends
the interviewers. After the first day or
two, when all that ceuld be said had pretty
nearly been said by us, tho proceedings
were a little like the daily visits of a doc-
tor to a convalescent patient when there's
nothing to be done but to feel his pulse, and
talk about the weather; only that in this
nstance there were several specially de-
tailed doctors.'"
Now, there can be no doubt about the
act that Mrs. Campbell-Praed is a very de-
cent, nice motherly woman and that the
author, politician and historian" with
