He was right, and the Marquis under - ;stood it. " Why did you go without telling me ?" "Was it my custom to do so, and can I not follow my fancies without coneulting you?" "At what time did you arrive at Valogne the day before yesterday V' "At ten o'clock in the forenoon." • "And what did you do during the two days ?"

The old man raised his shrivelled hands to heaven, in a kind of supplication which was full of terror and despair. Then mai- denly he became calmer and said, w I am listening to you. You haven't answered yet." "I left the Chatea.0 of Vadogne about half past five two days atter our return from hunting. I arrived at Bargemont about seven. Are you satisfied ?" "By what road did you return ?" Oliver smiled a dry, irritating smile and said, "There's only one. You've travelled it yourself of ten father, and certainly you know as well as I do—I took the way by the Black Rocks, the path which led me into the forest of The Mountain, and thenoe to the path by the Trout Leap and the rad to Giromagny."

"Oh, you have said the word. They accuse me! The Marquis bad quickly raised his head. "No," he said, " tbat is false."

"I am a magistrate, air, and everything I ask you is useful for my investigation. It isn't curiosity that urges me, but simply my duty." This was and a little dryly. The magis- trate perceived this, and regretted it, and hastened to add with greater suavity. "Yonr answer will perhaps afford me a valuable clew, give me a suspicion perhaps, fit in with some information I have already received or Which will be given me after this. That, air, is what justifies invour eyes what the world calls an indiscretion. In police matters like this such a thing is indis- cretion does not exist." "I am perfectly willing to answer you, air," saids. the Marquis, witha strenge hesitation which struck the megistrate, "and so much the more as their is nothing to make a secret about. Manbolrgue is a sort of business man who deals in buying and selling property. I had been in com- munication with him for some time because being much pressed for money, I intended to sell Bargemont and the farms." "How long had these relations existed 2" "For some months." ' "Then, sit," said the magistrate in an iudifferendway, 'you will kindly communi- cate to me the correspondence whioh pass- ed between you." The Marquis, who was standing, felt his legs tremble under ' him. He sat down and remained a long time with- out answering. He felt himself being bound about, gently enough, with a chain of iron whiohhe was trying his beet to cat aside but which resisted him pitilessly.

A Berlin letter to the lancet says :—A workman who had inhaled the vapour of burning coale was taken to the Charitelately. All efforts to reetore consciousness having failed, Professor Leyclin ordered the injec- tion of 250 =bit) centimetres of blood taken from another patient into one of the veins of the right arm. The patient showed signs of life five hours after the transfusion, than slept for ten hours and awoke in excellent spirits. His further recovery was rapid, and he is now quite well. His Reasons Tor Choosing. There must necessarily be great variety in the reasons which influence members of a congregation in choosing a minieter. Some of them are amusing as well as instructive. Recently a promising young minister was appointed to a parish in Ayrshire. One of the elders Who had zealously supported him, having been asked on what ground he had done so'replied, "Wee1,1 hadaeveralreasons. First of when he cam' up to She kirk in the rnornin', ma neebour elder an' me was stanniii' at the plate, an' he said in a frank way, 'Good. rnornin', gentlemen;' I likit that. Thep, after I gaed into the kirk, I noticed that in gienba' out the ' psalm, he named it twice; 1 likit that. Then again, when he was preachin', some of them in the kirk were coughing raither ranch ; he just stoppit till they were dune, an' then gaed on again man, I thooht a deal of that 1". .

Over $7,000,000 has boniest in the under- taking, and the building will be closed at the end of next month, instead of remaining until Juno next as contemplated. The ex- hibition was conodived on a vast nabs, aud the only reault so far has been a first-rate advertisement for Melbourne. The old ex- hibition building was a magnificent structure of brick and stone, covering ten tierce. It was spleneidly fitted up, and part of its ap- pointments was an organ which coat $25, 000. In 1872 the world's expositien was held in it, and proved successful, artistically, in number of exhibits, and financially. Ent Melbourne was not content, and decided hot year to otitdo all previous efforts. Conse- quently buildings covering an additional twenty acres were orated, This proved to be bad judgment, for the Colonies combined had not suffisient population to make stub a gigantic undertaking a financial success, and outsiders did not flock to see it.—[Syracuse Journal. ; Winter in the Adirondaoks. One readily falls into the ways of the win- ter eolony at Saranac, and finds them -ways of pleasantness ; not at all akin to the rigor of the climate, but rather suggestive of trop- ical deliberation and leisureliness.

Those who fiad it diffieult to obtain ma- nure for their bathed, can in verions ways obtain tho bet by hot water. For example, they can erect their beds nermanently with brlok aides, and have them in all reepeote the same as a miniature greenhouse. The following is the simplest method we know of, and any ingenious workman can petit together. it za the method used by a Milwaukee amateur, as given by a corre- spondent of the American leiorist "The bed Is situated ebout 0 feeb north of the house, and is 40 feet long by four in width ; the basement of hie house is heated by a coal atcve. For this dove he made a small coil of gas -pipe, which be can put in or take out as easily aa he could a tea -ket- tle, From this coil be ran two anoinch pipes under the ground, well covered, to the hot -bed, and than branched each pipe into two, running them the whole length of the bed, and connected them at the upper end, where he placed an expansion tank, consisting of a common wooden pail. It is simply a perfect hot.water eystom on a email scale, coneisting of two flows and two return pipes, all one inch. Tate pipes aro all sunk one foot deep. In the fall sashes were put on, and then it was left to freeze, the pipes of couree, being empty, On the &at of Marne he made connections, and started firing, and thought the frost was four feet deep, in four days the bed was all ready for the seed. The result was that Mr: G. had a crop of early vegetables that c ould- not easily be beaten." ANOTHER MG BOAT. ration it Co. Ina theContraet rorthe C.P.R. Ferry.

He states that the picture was the result of twenty-five years' thought and two years' hard work, and that if it had not been going to a public inatitu- tion the easel price would have been 8000 guineas.
