The German Emperor departea from Eng. lead with that auseess:aint splendor whioh lave suerouncled him from the beginning at. ending Wan to the last. There is no class or mutton of English society which has 001 joined in the welcome givee to him, The very villagers ot Hatfield and their children greeted him with shouts when he made his visit to Lord Salisoury, and the populate of London thronged the streets through whioh he mimed on his way to King's Cross Railway Station. The music of English cheers followed him us he left. It was ob- eerma by the eyoical that the two families of groat private station who reeeived the Emperor at lunch ana dinner were two out of the three most intimate Heads of Count Bismarck hi England. That also, I dare the Emperor knew. There has been mhbing10 m tr his unbroken good fortune and that of his hosts. Ws well for the British pose that the Emperor's visit mine It) an end when it did, The resumes af aternalisin might not have been oiled to a longer easy. Everything has been said e.nd every moral drawn. The :notch; drawn by the Continental press are at least as pertinent and frequent as those supplied to the English people by their ow papers. None of them need be quoted at length, for all of them might hare been predicted with accuracy beforehand. It was certain that " The Moscow Gazette' would brandish India in England's face, and warn Lora Salisbury that Russian iavasion of Hindostan would be the sure sequel to the firing of an English gun in aid of the Triple Alliance. It was certain that the French press would take a bitter view of the whole visit. It is nevertheless evident that Paris papers have had a hint to be mederate, and their language is less vio- lent then usual. If anybody has found an original note, it Is the National Zeituzsg" of Berlin, which treats tbe whole aflair as a moral recognition of the states quo. Even the French do not dispute that what has been said and done by the German Emperor in Englana and by his English hosts makes for peace. They dislike it all because it makes for pesos, aa i bee tuse it is unh appily true that France believee her interests depned not on peace but on war. The House of Lords,which engages public attention but fitfully, has this week its points of interest. It has passed the second reading of the Free Education bill, with blessings from Lord Spencer. and Lord Her- sehell, wao spoke for the Opposition, and a characteristic proteet from the Duke of Argyll against anything width would tend lo dimilush the teaching of dogmatic thee], ogy. It has also discussed .Mr. Calderon's Saint Elizabeth, Lord Manley of Alderley, complaining of its purchase by the trustees of the Chan' ery Bequest. But Lord Salisbury declared that he really could not keep these trustees in order, and he understood that the picture had been hung in a gallery which nobody ever visits. Then he denied the story that the French had occupied Luang Parbang, or had any force nearer than it hundred nales to that importaet spot; nor did he believe the independence of Siam was threatened. Yet his chief supporter in the press eontinues to cheetah suspicions, not wholly unfounded, of designs entertained by the French in that remote quarter. The House of Commons is working stead- ily at Supply, and fully expects to adjourn the first week in August, though the Irish estimates have still to be discussed, and Mr, Healy has returned in a mood which led him on Thursday to basalt the Duchess of Fife. The House groaned and the Chau, man rebuked Mr. Heals ; but nothing will tante that truculent tongue. The Gossip, We are all acquainted with her, the wo- man who never goes, who drops in for a call in the busiest part of the morning - it little matters whether it is washing day or ironing day ; 11 15 all the same to her. Your irons may grow cold and the clothes may boil over, bat still she stays. She usu- ally mentions that she has dropped in on a little errand. It in probably a borrowing errand Only after she has exhausted yoer patience and produced as much demoralize, tion in year household as she can, she is ready to go. But oh, the going f If you have any idea that she is really going, you are quite certain to be disappointed. She comes back to tell you about some neighbor you had never seen or ever desired to see, to explain the whys and wherefores of cer- tain goings on in the neighborhood in which you take no interest, and then she lingers at the door arid keeps you standing far be. yoral your strength. It is impossible to calculate' the time that is wasted by well- meaning women in auch ways as this. It would be an excellent thing if calls of all kinds could 10 00105 way be !united to a ten minete rule. In the social world among women of leisure, it is considered in bad form to Ithgthen one's visit beyond a set period, and when a woman has numerous acquaintanoes she usually has a visiting clay, and can be certain of freedom from interrup• tion during the rest of bee time. There is considerable excuse for the much -obliged " not at home " which is frequently used by women of society, and which simply means not at home to visitors, or engaged, and there is no reason for any one's taking offence in the matter, Only workings women, the busy farmers' wives or women who do their own work, are subject to the annoyance+ of the unannounced visi- tor, who is bound by no swim' law as to her arrival or departure or her length of stay.

HOMO Expellee -re of lho delver. and CreW of the Barque floupadre-Did fen els a Desert Island. A despatch from Aucklana,N, Z., reports that the barque Compialre, bound from Calcutta to Chile, reeently caught time aatern. After an inelleetual an& to subdue the Humes, the captain steered for Bluff harbour, a seaport of the Province of Otaga, N. Z., He had stioceeded in bringing his burning vessel to the mouth of the harbour, when IL tremendous hurricams overtook her, The exhattated orew spent their last energies in attempting to keep down the raging tire, and at the same time form the unfortunate barque to face the wind and seas which beat upon and milled over her. 1 t was, howevar all to no avail. After a desperate struggle with the opposing elements the barque was driven upon the rocks. After incredible suftsrrags the crew of tho barque sueceeded in swimming ashore, Hero the miserable men were forced to spend 103 days and nights, stalaring the ex teeniest wretchedness of exposure and starvation. On the 104th day of their being east away, their distress signals were seenly a passing sealing vessel, and the sorely tried sailors were taken off in safety, but in o ffiatressing condition of weakness and eumeintion. During their enforced stay on the island one of their num. bot Wandered in to the binli an. -1 wag never heard of again. It in supposed tlmt suffering deove the man mad. A Dog's Great Deed. In the year 187- the steamship Swallow left the Cape of Coed Hope, bound for Eng. land- " for home," the passengers, all Eng- lish, called it. Among them wee a lady with &child of two years and a nurse. The lady had also brought with her a huge, band. some Newfoundland dog. The voyage had lasted about six days. No hind was visible, raid the island of St. He. lona woula be the nearest point. The day was a beriutif al one, with a soft breeze blow. ieg, and the sun shining down brightly on the sparkling waters. A large and gay coin. patty of the passengers were assembled on deck ; merry groups of young men and girls had clustered together ; now mai then it langh rang out, or 00010 000 sang a gay little snatch of song, when suddenly the mirth of all was silenced by the loud. and pieroing scream of a women. A nurse wao luta been holding a chilkl ill her arms at the side of the vessel hed lost her hold of the leaping, entices little one, and it had fallen overboard into the sea - into the great, wide Atlantic Ocean. The poor Wonlan, in her ciespair, would have dung herself after her charge had not strong arms held her back. Bat sooner thou it can be written down, something trashed swiftly past her ; there was a leap over the vessel's side, a splash into the waters, and then Nero's black head appeared above Oa wave% bolding the child in his mouth, The engines were stopped as soon as pos. sible, but by that time the dog was far be- hind in the wake of the vessel. A boat was quickly lowered, and the ship's surgeon, taking his place in it, ordered the sailors to pull for their lives, Otte could just make out,on the leaping,dancing waves, the dog's black head, holding something soarlet in his mouth. The child had on a little jacket made of scarlet cloth, and it gleamed like a spark of fire on the dark blue waves. The mothem of the child stands oil the deck, her eyes straining anxiously after the boat, and the black spot upon the waves still holdalls firmly to the tiny scarlet points How long the time seems ! The boat seem, fairly to creep, though it sped over the waves as it never aped before. Sometimes a billow higher than its fellew hides for a moment dog and thild from the anxious, straining eyes. One eau almost hear the watchers' hearts then throb with fear lest the waters may have swallowed them up. Bat the boat comes nearer and nearer, near enough at last to altew ofthe surgeon's reaching over and lifting the child out of the dog's mouth, then a sailor's strong arm pulls Nero in the boat, and the mu row swiftly back to the ship. " Alive ?" is shouted from every lip as the boat oomes within hail of the steamer ; and as the answer comes back, "Alive 1" a " thank God 1" breaks front every. heart. Then the boat collies up to the ship's side. A hundred hands are stretched out to help the brave dog on board, and " Good Nero," " Brave clog," " Good fellow," resounded on every side. But Nero ignores the praise showered so profusely on him ; he trots sedately up to the °arid's. mother, and with a wag of his dripping tail, louks up into her face with his big, faithful brown eyes. It was ai if he said, " It is all right ; I hays. brought her back quite safe." The mother drops on her knees on the deck, and taking his shaggy head iu both hands, kissed his wet lam again and again, the tears pouring down hes face in streams There is indeed not a dry eye on board. One old sailor stands near with the tears running down his weather.beaten brown face, all the while unconscious that he is weeping. Well, as one can imagine, Nero Was for the rest 61 the voyage the petand hero of the whole striplie bore hts honors with quiet, modest dignity. It wive curious, how- ever, to see how from that time on he made himself the sentinel and body guard of the baby fie had saved. Ile always placed hint. self at the side of the chair of any person in whose arms she was, his eyee watching every movement she made. Sometimes she would he laid on the deck with Nero only to watch her, and if inclined to creep, ut of bounds Nero's teeth, fastened firmly in the skirt cf her frock, promptly clrew her back, It was as though las thought, "I have been lucky enough, Miss Baby, to save you once front a watery grave, but as I may not be an luoky again, .f shall take care you don't run any nneecomary risks in future." aa lieu the steamer reached her destination, Nero received a regular ovatiou as he was leaving tho vuesel, Some oue cried, "Three chore for Nero ! and they were given with a will, And " Gooll.hye, Nero, good.bye, good dog, " rethuhrled from every side, lavray one erowded uremia to gitra him a pat oni tho head as lie trotted crown the gang, plank.

The 1 10 -ton gun, indeed all large guns, are fired with slow -burning eocoa powder -"i cocoa" because of its brown color, As you may observe lit the powder -ease 10 tlte gallery it is shaped in hexagonal prism% this being the most convenient form fraolose packing, Earth prism Is pierced with a hole in the center, so as to give ready ageose to the flame and insure an equable ignition. Ten thousand of these prisms are used to make up a full charge for thla monster gun, " The powder, along with the shell, comes up event the magazine below in a hoist (1n. dictated at the reap of the model), and, Itaving been placed on a spout -tray, 10 rammed into the gun by a hydraulic ram - mer (also indicated at the mar of the model), the shell, of course, having first been driven femoral into its place by the same instrument. In nearly all naval guns the powder charge is made up into fora cartridges, the object being to get oath cartridge down to a weight that a man may lift. But on account of its extraordinary weight -960 pounds -the charge for the 1 10 - ton gun is divided into eight cartridge', Speohnetts of these catridges, to the extent of the fall charge, stand et a pyramid close to the hoist. The material of the envelop by the way, is silk oloth. At the baok o each envelop, next to the primer, there stand a few Imams of bleak; powder, because it more readily ignites than the cocoa pow- der. Erah of these eight cartridges weighs 190 pounds. To load, 11 18 necessary to bring the gun in at extreme elevation, and then the following operations are gone through : 1, unlock aud unsceow the breech -block ; .2, withdraw breech.blook ; 3, traverse breech- block to one side ; 4, place the loading.tray in the acme ; 5, waslt out the gun ; 0, ram Immo the projectile ; 7, ram home first half, charge ; 8, ram home second half.tharge ; 9 withdraw loadingatray ; 10, traverse breeeli- mew ; 11, insert breech -screw ; 12, screw up and lock breeelanrow, All these operations, 115 50 haveexplainerl, are performed by hydraulic machinery, and are so prat idetl with sitnple a mangetnents, to prevent mistakes, aver'alessrs, Armstrong. alitehell & Co., that accidents practically never happen. The gun laving been sighted by the captain of the turret from his conning tower, is also fired by him by electricity. The gun can be loaded and fired within two rind a half minutes. The projectile tired front the gun when attacking ships or forts weighs 1,800 pounds and it goes out with a velocity of 2,105 feet per second, and has a destructive energy equal to 55,305 foot -tons. If the gun were to be used" against a body of meu ova flotilla of boats, shrapnel shells would be used -that is the long, drunalike cylinder of steel standing close to the carriage would be shot from the gun, and its contents - 2,3004 -ounce bullets -would scatter death among the foe. The bullets are put in lay. ars, though not with mathematical exact- ness -they are merely shaken together. Melted rosin is poured in among them in order to fill up the interstiees ; else, when the heavy shock of the explosion came, they would be all flattened against each other. Directly the shrapnel case bttrsts the bul- lets go flying on, while tho spin of the shell, communicated by the rifling of the gun, spreads them out by centrifugal force over a large arm. But the gun wilt most likely be used for attacking armored ships end torts ; in this case the steel shell, with a strong sharp point, will be used. These shells are first forged, then bored, and finally temper. .ed. While they should be tough itt the body they mud be hard at the striking point. The hardness of the point increases the peretrative power of the shell, while the toughness of the bad), prevents its swelling Re it is entering the plate and so increasing the difficulties of penetratien. A good shell carries itself into the interior of the ship before it explodes. The shell is eonstreeted to carry such an amount of powde te will cause it to explecle and add its pieces to the destructive splinters front the broken plate. The shell used in this gun, as stated, weighs 1,100 pounds. The terrible havoc which seal) a shell will pay when fired with a full charge from his gun is most vividly, illustrated on the 'mil closest to the medal. There is given a, sketch of the coarse of a shell from a 110 ton gun of the Sanspariel at a trial at Shoebutyness in March lasts The shell tore its way at the rate of 2,079 feet per second through 20 inches of coin. pound armor specially manufactured ; 8 inches of iron fastened in a heavy wrought - iron frame, 20 feet of oak baulks, 5 feet ef granite banes, 11 feet of eonerete, and 6 feet of brick, altogether 44 feet 4 inehes of a wall unique in history, surely, for ormtbina- tion of width and variety and strength of Material.

He had been bran in the Catholic Churob, buff in the early and far into latter years of his life gave little attention to religious mattes% Ho married a reolestant glrl, and under her gradanee the earlier children all grew 05 disciples of their mother's faith. Conway for quite a nurnbee of years had been 5001181001 &raker, often going off on sprees, being 'thumb front home for days, He lost, social caste, but his fatally stood high. Eight yearsago a boy was born to Conway and hie wife. Conway seemed anxioue to have the youngest son brought up in the Catholic faith. He frequently spoke of it, and often attemped to coax the raffia to church with hint. During the early !scarabs of 1890 and oven ttp to July I Conway wag unusually retieeet about his business atlairs, in fact the family was utterly igeorant of what he WAS doing. Mrs, Conwoy had a number of fine mileh cows, and eeveral bors purchased their supply of milk front Item, the boy deliveving it. On the evening of duly 2, 1800, lie started to carry some milk to a neighbor's house. Not retuning a brother went in search of him. Not find- ing the child cutout the streets, the father was sought, but he also was missing. It was ooncluded the two were together, and the only worry was that the ohild might I e abused. Failure to return at all that night led to the discovery that father and ohild had been seen in the company of two men who had been about the towu several days. It was then thought Conway had gone into the country on a trading expedition -a not unusual thing. Several days' absence begot alarm. It was found alt the bank that Con- way had checked out nearly all his cash. Foul play WaS suspected, and the streams and woods for long distances were searched. Then the case Was put into the hands of Capt. J. C. Grannan with orders to find the missing regardless of expense. Captain C,ratunan began his work in Spring. field. He found that the two men with whom Conway had last been seen were from Louisville and had been iu his employ; that Conway had for a year been quietly disposing of every valuable he could with- out attracting attention, and Grannan ab once concluded that Conway bad taken the boy away on religious grounds, a theory whiuhproved tobe the oorrectone. Thenbegan cs chase, the details of which would require columns to tell, Conway Ma easily traced to Louisville, bet there all clues were lost. The pair appeared to have dropped out of sight, when a member of the bureau in Den. ver sent word that such a couple had been seen ut that city about ten clays after Con - way's disappearance. Thither Capt. Crim- ean went, and tater two clays found where they had stopped and traced them to San Franeism. Trail was again lost, but on a false clue Detective Kates was sen t to Via. toria, 11. C. While at Victoria Capt. (Iran- nan receivecl word that Conway was at Salem, Ore. On Kato's areival there he found that the officers had been mistakea, but definitely learned that his prize had turned back and had been seen near Louisville. the search was again commenced at the latter place, and it was made reason. ably certain that Conway had come to Cincinnati, where he met certain parties from Springfield, and sought to make some arrangements about two or three pieces of property, but was unsuccessful. Capt. Grannan and Detective Kates, under orders from the family, gave up everything else and devoted their entire at- tention to the work of locatilig Conway. Every conductor entering or leaving Cam cinnati was seen,and at last a Little Miami conductor was found who gave a eatable clue. He remembered that Con. way was on his train with a ticket for Columbus, 0. He described man and boy perfectly, related an instance of Conway's brutality that had occurred on the train, and thus enabled the detectives to trace their man to Columbus. But here new dif- ficulties arose. It seemed impossible to get further trace of the missing. False clues earried Gram= and Kates to Baltimore, to Washington, Philadelphia, and Detroit, and in one instance Harper s Ferry, W. Va. Baffled, but determined, the detectives returned to Colombus and began again. One evening, while interviewing railroad men, Capt. Gramm missed his footing and foll heavily against a man who was disposed ab firsb to be ugly. A. saloon was sought and the man molfilled. While in the saloon it developed that the moat was a railroader -a Panhandle braketnen, In pursuonoe of the policy to ask every railroad man about Conway, the man Was interrogated and proved 10 1)5 a viral find. He had seen Con- way and the boy, and told how the two were fixed in, his mind by the boy's pleadiegto be taken to his mother, whom the old man as- serted was dead. The brakeman was able to put the detectives in coin municatioo with the conductor of the train on width the kidnapper travelled, and by his aid Conway was tracked into Philadelphia. HE ?AMOR RED HER.

The closing of uo fewer than fifty-eight lobster factories along the French coast of Newfoundland by the oommancling officer of the British war vessels in those waters must put to a severe test the willinguess of the people to obey the modus ripendi an. raugement recently renewed.

The decision It year in the ease of Mr. James Baird's factory at Fishers River, St. George's Bay, was diatinctly in his favor. Capt. Sir Baldwin Walker had put a force of his bleejackets in charge of the factory, mici closed it, like others on the shore, noting under the authority supposed to be given to him by the medics virendi. Brit Mr. Baird promptly brought a suit for damages, in the course of whieli it was shown clearly that there was no colonial law for carryiug out the provisions of the inodlis virentii, and that the imperial statnte for enforcing the treaty of Versailles had been repealed, It can therefore be understood why, with the decision of the court agaieet Capt. Walker, the sabre left in tharge of the lobster factories had to be withdrawn, while the owners felt fully justified in reopening and running therm Again, up to the end of last Slay it was by no means olear that any conclusion would be reached on the main subject during the present season, The .disoussion in Perna- ment had been prolonged, and the process of revivieg the imperial statute for carrying out the treaties of Utrecht, Versailles, and Paris was sure to occupy much time. When under the pseasure of imporis 1 obereion, tlie colonial Legislature substituted an enabling eat of its own, about the 27t1t of May,. time was still required for issuffig the proper authority to close the factoriee. The own- ers, therefore, have kept them open until the last inoment, and have had valuable ad- ditional ese of them. In the French Satiate, 1101 long ago, M. 'Mot.

It can be understood, therefore, why the order' juin isertea have fallen so hestvily,,and perhaps exclusively, upon the Britishlactories, Still, although more than a thonsond persons are throstra out of employment by this act, it will um doubtly be submitted to. Not only, the peo- ple of the French shore and of the island in general, but the Govemment of England must appeal:tate fully how, during the last telt year's. with the founding of the lobster canning industry the original blunder in the treaty of Utrecht, 110-13 I,een made more maid. fest. 11 should be the aim innv to some the entire control of the island to its people by giving to the Fronell ample indemnity for the vested treaty rights they may sm. render in abandoning their poet of the shore, The first Deed, however, is that of obtaining a deeision from the arbitrators as to the ex. toot of the rights held by France.

With HincIty was a ram named Douglas, and they both left the saloon to• gather. Coming to the Veteran's Exchange, Bracy told Douglas to wait for hint as he wanted to get a letter, atul then started out alone. Douglas saw lam enter a gun store kept by 11". R. Dodge, and when lie came out he had a self-acting revolver and a quantity of cartridges. Later on be joined Douglas and wrote two letters, mos addres- sed to his mother, avho lives in Toronto, Mrs, Agnes Iiinehy ; the other to one James &own, Fern Hill. Hineby gave Douglas live cents to post the letters. They went again to the Elk saloon, and Riney called upon all in the barroom to join ItiltI in a drinnkt.he bar aver° the proprietor, Banner, O'Connell, the bartender, awl George Mar- tin, tax -collector, besides a couple of 'long. shoremen who were playing cards. °Venetal was just about serving the driiiks when Hinchy &ow his revolver ana dent)°, ately tlteci at Bannon.

Both Hinclia. and Denials were draok and the latter says that Hinehy was wild from detiriam /means. It appears to have been the crazy not of an insane pa son. It is been said that ono of the letters was addreseed to Agnes Hirschy, Toronto. It was the unpleasant duty of a reporter to call at the house on Gould street where that lady resides and aseertain the truth of the sad story. The reporter was informed that Mrs. Ifineby was up in the attic, and on stating whist Ids bustness was he was told by the lady who came to the door that she was 11. married sister of the Thomas Hinehy referred to.
