Deunis Buckley, a xesid.ent of Hamilton for 54 years, took carbolic acid, in mistake for medicine with fa- tal results. • The Transvaal Government is en- deavoring to put itself in position to claim the material assistance of the Orange Free State, as it has already obtained its moral support; and. like- wise to assure to itself the sympathy of all the DuteJa of South Africa, which it seems already to possess. An ine. portaat addition to tbe defensive re- sources of the Transvaal. has just been made by the completion of the railway from Pretoria to Pietermaritz- burg in the north, opened by Gen,. Joubert a few days ago. This road brings the mountain regions of the Zoutspanberg district, from which l'I'Pefu and his tribe were recently• ejeoted, under the direct observation of Pretoria, and diminh hes the chaten of their becoming a'entre of trouble in case of war. Having, thus assured iteeif, as far as possible, against inter- nal disturbance, the Tran.se-aal Govan.-- ment finds itself free to give its atten- tion. to the defence of the froutier in the event of aggressive movements from without. In the meantime the political measures necessary to take away any justification for an armed attack on the independence of the Transvaal are receiving the considera- #on which the gravity of the. situation demands. Despatches from Cairo report that the `Holy Carpet," once the property of Mohammed, and long guarded with; pious care .in the Egyptian capital.' has fallen into the hands of Bedouins i who attacked a caravan of Egyptian i pilgrims svhile on the desert march be-- s tween Mecca and. Medina. The carpet is usually carried to Medina every year on the great annual pilgrinaage , 0 from Egypt and is then. restored to its keepers. It is one of the most famous s relies of the Prophet, and the sacrilegi- ous act of the desert nomads will arouse much feeling, particularly in a North Africa. S b Mecca attracts the faithful from the ; v entire Mohammedan world, but by far i the larger part of the pilgrims who I visit Medina are natives of Africa. The n reason is because Medina is second. in t. sandier to 1VIecca„ and a visit to the torah of the Prophet at Medina, while 13 hig-bly meritorious, confers no honor P or blessing menet' is not equalled or surpassed by the holy fruits of. the pilgrimage to Mecca; and few non - African devotees have the incentive to Mew the sufferings and dangers of the 2e0 -mile march across the sand waste • I The.

PAID $10,000 TO SAVE -HIS EAR. Large Ransom Collertml Front An littilitnt Mtlltonnlre. A despatch from Rome says :—Sig- nor Benedetto Leonardo is the well- known Italian Millionaire who for some time past has been considering the advisability of selling his estates near Salerno and settling in Rome owing to the repeated attempts of a local band of brigands to capture him. He has now finally made up his mind to that course, for during the last week the brigands actually captured him. They fixed the ransom, moder- ately under the circumstances, at 50,- 000 lire, $10,000, and required that the money be paid on Wednesday under pain of slicing the captive's ears off. The ultimatum had. only an hoUr with- in which to expire when the money ar- rived, and Leottardo considers it too close a shave to incur the risk of a repetition. SOME STARTLING STATISTICS. Official statistics of brigandage just issued. by the police are calculated to make gentlemen of Leonardo's position shiver. During the first five months of this year brigands committed in Sardinia 980 crimes of violence, and in Sicily 719. During the same period, these ruffians in the two islands cap- tured sixty-one persons, murdered in cold. blood all but four, an danger- ously woended 128. But it is only fair to state that a good many of these were polieemee. VILLAGE ALMOST WIPED OUT. Forty Houses at St. Raymond, Quebec Destroyed hY Wire. A despatch frorai St, Raymond, Que., says :—Tbis village was almost wiped wiped out by a fire w•hich started about 11.20 Suiday \morning in a sta- ble belonging te Mrs. Edward Plam, ondon. The fire spread with great ra- pidity, and there being no fire appli- ances here, the inhabitants were pow- erless to stay the progress of the flames. Assistance was telegraphed' for to Quebec, and fire engines were sent by special tectin from there, a dis- tance of about 35 miles. When the engines arrived bere about 35 or 40 houses had. been consuraed with several outhouses. The con.vent caught fire, and was damaged in the upper portion to the extent of about §3,000. The ens will aniount to fully §100 000 and. is well covered by insurance, the details of which cannot be learned to- night. The fire is believed to have teen started by a trainp who slept in the Plamondon barn last night. SERIOUS INDIAN RIOT. , Hival Religious ructions Iliad a litloody 11WCOIOlLier. A despatch from Va.ncouver, B. C., says :—Three rival factions of the In- dian. community at Port Essington had a bloody fight last Saturday. The steamer Princess Louise brought the news here, and, many of the Indians who took part in the fight came with her. " A few weeks ago the Indians en- camped at Essington went on strike in the salmon fishing business. A corps of the Salvation Army arrived shortly afterwards, and commenced to hold revival seryices‘ 'These were very popular for som4 time, and the Metho- dist and Church of England mission- aries then decided they would imitate the example of ' the Salvationists, so that soon they had the canap about equally divided' among them. This condition of affairs resulted in a seri- ous riot on Saturday, in which many Indians were injured, but none killed, ICEEtrlIO WA.RSIIIP BY liloiclitg Gana and Ileavic tiettr to Stern Veniet Cot to Pere (A. despatch from.

A agepaieu from London ses :---Her 11ajesty the Queen., the Duke of Cern- 'ridge, the Prince of Wales, the Duke f York, Grand Duke Michael of R,us- ia, tne Duke of Connaught, Gen. Lord, Woleeley, and m.any Princes and Prin- cesses were present on the famous plains of Aldershot on Monday; to wit- ness a review of over 18,000 or the best troops in the Kingdom. This review is interpreted in London as a means of satisfying the Queen that her troops are ready for any emergency they may he called to meet in the Transvaal or elsewhere. It is kn.own, now that the Queee. returned from Balnaoral castle mostly for the purpose of atten,dine his review, and in view of the fact of her BLijesty. s natural reluctance to at - teed suce functions, the importance of this review is manifested. Not since the Queen's jubilee has a more magnificent army corps passed before a European sovereign, and while 6,000 additional troops remained in. their barracks, the display afford- ed the Queen. ample evidence of her military resources. All the regiments which took part in the review were those wbicla would answer the first hurry call to arms for the Transvaal or elsewhere, and as the various bat- talions swung past the Royal carri- ages their fitness evoked the heartiest applause. Nearly 15,000 infantry, 50 guns, and 3,600 horses made up this magnificent display. CREATED A PROFOUND IMPRES- SION. Nearly all the foreign military at- taches were present, and a prefound impression was made upon them as the Dragoons, the Scots, the famous Royal regiment of which Emperor William is the honorary colonel; the Fusilier's, the Camerons, the Scotish Rifles, and. other heroes of the Zulu campaign passed. The enthueiesin of the crowds was intense, and the Queen smiled ap- peobation as each command. came im- mediately under her eye. Col. Summer and the other attaches compared the a.rmy of the Queen to a Forest of sltiraraering steel overhang- ing a. scarlet sea," and. characterized it as one of the finest reviews within their experience. TEN DAYS FOR MURDER. End of n Remarkable Trial In New BMus -wick. A despatch from Fredferieton, N. B., says:—At the trial of James Gover, who killed Wm. McLean, his wifee betrayer, the jury on quesday evening, after an hour's deliberation, reported that they had acquitted the accused on the charge of murder, but ,found him guilty of, manslaughter. The prison- er's counsel appealed for clemency, stating that Gover's wife, who was filled with remorse, had mortgaged her home to furnish funds for the defence and hoped to win her hueband's par- don. Judge Van Wart amid applause in which the jurymen joined, sentenced Geyer toten days in goal, The trial was one of the most sensational that ever took place in New Brunswick.
