THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

Tiih episode of Umra Khan bids fairto end l-ather ludicrously. The IndianGovernment, wo are informed, Laveoffered tills Asiatic killer of his brotheran asylum in India. Tho oiler probablymeans that they will give him aboutthree pounds a week and board andlodging to make it worth his while notto conspire any more, and not to slayany more of his relations. This showsthe advantage of being of royal blood.If Umra Khan bad been made of theordinary material which liils out theclothes of the common people, lie wouldhave had a rope fitted to his neck. Asit is he will probably accept tho oiler ofthe Indian Government, and devotehimself to meditation and to spendingthe solatium supplied by his whiteconquerors.

The cables speak of a "warparty*' inChina. One would have thought thatthe terrible drubbings administeredto China would have taken all thelight out of the vanquished. Indeed,it is not unfair to assume that this isthe case, and that the vaporings of theso-called war party are cheap manifes-tations of a false courage which theyfeel sure will not now be put to thoproof. Iv connection with this subjectit is pleasant to be told that any com-mercial concessions made to Japan willbe likewise made to all other countries.If that should turn out to be reliable

! news the war will result ingood to thejo -» world, for anything which tends

to break restrictions upon trade

works'in favor d peace and prosperity.The news as to tho trouble on board

the Kingarooma revives 10"f. ofthe ill-fated YvYirarapa. J-he highofficer" Who has been pronouncedmentally unlit for duty by the ship s

doctor may be suffering trout theeffects of influenza, as there are strongreasons for supposing that poor Cap-tain M'lntosh was at the tune Ins shipwas lost. The doctor who attendedhim shortly prior to las last voyage,

, ■■■-*

after that shocking event wrote toa southern paper expressing the be-lief that Captain M'lutosh must havebeen suffering from mania due toinfluent, and that only such asupposition would account for his ap-parently insane conduct. At allevents, the evil that a captain sufferingfrom braintrouble may do isself-evident,and if the doctor of the Ririgarooma. isright in his diagnosis of the disorderwhich lias attacked a '• high officer,"he lias conferred a most important ser-vice upon his country m trying to pre-vent the vessel going to sea with thatofficer on board.

The story which was contained inour yesterday's cable messages, to theeffect that Marshal Yamagata. thebrave and successful .Japanese warrior,is really the missing Archduke Johnof Austria, is dramatically suggestive, ■but is probably as false as it is possibleto be. There have been various storiescirculated as to the missing Archdukesince he disappeared from Viennawithout leaving a trace behind, in {188.). In that year it was publicly iannounced that the Archduke hadbeen authorised by the Emperor to jrenounce his rank and privileges as a ]member of the Imperial family, andhis name was erased from the roll ofmembers oE the Hungarian House ofLords. Then he disappeared. Hismotive was his deep love for a womanbelow him in station, but whom hemarried, renouncing the advantages ofhis birth rather than relinquish hisbride in deference to dynastic politics.

He was supposed to have gone toAmerica with his bride, and some littletime back a story went the rounds tothe effect that he was working inAmerica as a navvy. Another storymade him a servant on a railway, andyet another a waiter. _To doubt allthe narratives were untrue, and thelatest yarn is fairly open to the sameobjection until good proof of its trutharrives. That ho is living somewherein comfort with his wife and family isextremely probable, but where is quiteanother question. The Austrian RoyalFamily isnoted foritserratic-tendencies.The Empress Elizabeth is eccentric, toput it mildly. The sensational suicideof the Crown Prince, the ArchdukeRudolf, some timebefore the ArchdukeJohn renounced his rank, was the talkof the world at the time. That suicidewas due to a love affair, but in that casethe woman was not the Archduke'swife. The latter was the seconddaughter of King Leopold 11., ofBelgium. At the time of the Arch-duke Rudolf's suicide he and his wifewere not on good terms, the illicitattachment being the cause. He leftonly one child, the Archduchess Elisa-beth.

The news we published last night, tothe effect that Dr. Hansen and hisfellow explorers had reached the northpole, will be received with enthusiasticinterest all over the civilised world. Dr.Hansen determined to reach the poleby a novel method. The ships of pre-vious explorers had been crushed bythe ice in popular latitudes. The latestinstance of this was that of the unfor-tunate Jeannette, in 188.1, some of thesurvivors from which were driven tocannibalism. Dr. Hansen plannedand hadbuilt a ship which he consideredcould notbe crushed, owing to its shape, ;which was so designed that when theice closed iv upon it the ship wouldbe lifted by it instead of crushed, andso frozen into the ice pack itself anddrift with it. Scientific observation hadalready established the fact that theseice packs drifted northwards, and Dr..Nansen's idea was to get his shipfrozen in safely (so far as fear of crush-ing was concerned, that is, for he riskedall other considerations}, and to driftwith the ice to the pole.

He expected to find that he wouldbe drifted right across the pole to theshores of Greenland, and that tho trip

; would take him three years, his vesseljto be frozen up near the spot at which; the Jeannette was crushed. His vessel

was named the Fram, and he and hisexpedition started in her from Chris-tiana in June, 1898. If, therefore, hehas succeeded in his plan, the trip hastaken less than two yeai-3 instead ofthe three year3he allowed. His planwas to sail straight for the NewSiberia Islands, where lie hoped to fallin with the, current which he con-sidered would drift the ice, and his shipfrozen in with it, across the pole. Nonews was heard from him after hepassed through the Kara Sea, in 189-';,but no great uneasiness was felt be-cause Dr. Hansen himself had statedthat he did pot hope to be able to sendany information uncle; three years. If

! $ie statements cabled cut _«- are re-liable, he _a_ not only succeeded in hisplans, bat has achieved his task moreeasily and more, rapidly than lie hadconceived possible. As to what willresult from this discovery, we are.alraid that it is a case of cvi bono 1: Scientific men will rejoice at an ad-

's oJlitk- to theirstove ofarctic knowledge,-nj. !?Gsa;ihlv some electricalphenomenamay be exPlainef fpresent. On «f lland #csuccess of Dr. Hansen w»L manyothers to follow him, and there will nodoubt be many valuable lives lost.That any commercial advantages canbe gained by polar exploration has longsince ceased to be believed.

The growing friction betweenNorway and Sweden can have butone end, and that is the sweeping awayof the farcical dual system of govern-ment which, under the fatuous title ofHome Rule, has led to a state of thingsso dangerously close to civil war thatnobody would be surprised to hear of itbreaking out at any moment. Thecable messages, by suggesting a pro-bable abdication on the part of King-Oscar, may be road as indicating anearly solution of the trouble. If thepresent monarch docs " retire frombusiness," and his son should elect to

I continue the " affairs of the firm," hewill speedily make things uncomfortablefor the Norwegian reactionaries, whoare so unpatriotic in their political hatethat they would sooner be raled byDenmark than try to peaceably rulethemselves in conjunction with theirbrothers the Swedes. One has only tolook at tho map to see that any pro-posal to cut up Norway and Swedeninto two separate monarchies, or toplace Norway under .Denmark as atributary State, would be the height; offolly and against nature.

But the politicians have by theirviolence so blhidscl the Norwegians andSwedes, and especially the .former, tothe obvious fact that they are reallyone people, that they to a great extenthate each other. This feeling has beenfomented by pretended patriots, whohave found racial differences wherenone really exist, and who as an excusefor civil strife go back to records ofbarbarous times, and quote the glorieswhich accrued to Sweden. " under herold kings." This is unmitigatedrubbish, there being not somuch differ-ence between a Swede and a Norwegianas there is between an Englishman anda Welshman, or between either of ihelatter and a Scotchman or an Irish-man. They are one people, aud all the.talk about racial distinctions, and aboutthe honor and gloryspringing from keep-ing the twopeoples separated in mind asfar as possible by preserving linguisticvariations, are but so many viciousattempts in the directionof quarrellingand fighting among people who oughtto be at peace.

FOR MR M'KENZIE.

Tius HoxouAr.i.E Mn McKesziio hasreferred tho public to page o-9 ofI/.award for the third of August lastfor proof of his assertion that theGoverament, ten. monthsprior to askingthe House to vote the loan to the Bankof _lew Zealand, knew only so much ofthe weakness of tho bank as the generalpublic knew. We have read theHansard report referred to, and findthat in it Mr McKenzie asserted thathe and the Government knew a great

deal more about ihe bank daring thepreceding twelve months than theHouse imagined to be the case. Thatis exactly our contention. MrMcKenxie on the third of Augustlast, in the House, said that for twelvemonths the Government had knownthat they could not ask tho bank forthe national funds, to put them in asafer place than the Bank oil Sew Zea-land, because by taking out those fundsthey would have precipitated the closingof tbe bank. The Government there-Core know that the bank was insolventwhen the House was in session in 180?>,and concealed their knowledge for awhole year, although during that yearthe bank declared a dividend andpublished sworn returns which theGovernment must have known to befictitious in tho one case and false inthe other. Mr McKenzie used thesewords in his speech:—" Yfc knew agreat deal mote about the Bank ofNew Zealand than tho honorablemember and bis colleagues think."How does that accord with the state-ment now that the Government onlyknew what everybody else knew ?

But they formedgood company, and every one was jolly. Idid hear one gentle_anremark, who desiredit to bo known ___ he had only beenaccustomed to consort -with nobody butSaris and Countesses, thatcheap fares hadicuinsd the comfort of tourists. Nino-tenths,said ho, of thoao who come into the saloonshould boia thesteerage, and most of thosein tha steerage looked sa though theyehould boia gaol. Such eg ho, however,should travel in their own yachts, or bavery particular t.ihide their identity. Tho

"So indeed. Thay can see ncthinp morabeautiful. They have hill and dale ; forest,and verdant fields; sparkling rivers andperennial springs ; enow cappedmountains,and, and—"

"And Canterburycheese '."" Oh yes ! and Canterbury cheese !""K'ow, there ia nothing to ba seen inAustralia; reaiiy nothing-. "Vfbea youhave seen a gum tree and a snake you hava82sn the whole of Australia."

Tha Hew Zaiiand tourist, however, wantsto seea gum tree, and he wants to pee thatsnake, and these things are cheap at £5.

The Australian coast lies low. _itsrpassing tha Three Kind's—a fair sizedisland, a couple of smaller ones, and »cluster ofneedle rocks, to tho north of 2TewZealand—wo turn our b'-;ck to tha risingsun and steer straight iato the eye of thosottingluminary. It was dawn'a earliestlight; the stars were not yet paled, when,thirty-fivemiles distant, the dazzlinggleamof the electric search-light at Sydney SouthHeads told ua we were approachingihechores of a land so full or associations con-nected with mineral and pastoral wealth,with drought and flood. If there were-nothing to ba seen but ablue gum andasnake, Australia was at least a countrywhich could raisa up a hoat of thoughts.

_8 the lazy morning atmosphero'cieared,thorising sun gilded tharipplingwavesandlighted up the grey cliffs of the Heads,showingbrightgreen pasturesabova,againstwhich fourlight-housesgleamed outwhite.Tho North Head, which ia the highest ofthe two, I should think is about 300 feethigh. Until you are close toland there iano apparent entrance into Sydney harbor,the North Head overlapping the one on thesouth side. Passing the NorthEead ycu atones getinto perfectly smoothand wonder-ful-y blue water, and the beauties oi theharbor begin to unfold. Many descriptionsof iiydnsy harbor hava been v.ritten, butnot ono that I hava read has given thefaintest idea of tho lovely scenery. I shallnot attempt that ia which better word-painters than I have failed. K'or do thophotographs do justice to tho panorama ofwood and water, of carving bays withsilvery beashes, deep inlet?, and the undul-ating shrub-covered country that seems tobend downto seeits beauty reflected in theazura mirror. And nestled amongst thetrees are fine stone mansions, and otherbuildings that give variety of color to apicture of dazzling brightness. As wo areslowly Breaming up, our path is beingcrossed and re-crossed by countless steamlaunches, ferry boats, and other craft.There isa liveliness about the scene that isia delightful contrast to tho loneliness ofthe Tasman Sea wa have just passad over.At last the city stretches beforeus; stretchesaway for milesalong the tops of the hills,round the elopes and down the sides of themto tho water's edge.

MIRBACH V. M'GREEVY.[to the edisoe."]

Sic,—You were wrong in heading yoursubstantially correct report of thecase, my-self v. McGreavy "Verdict forDefendant."I waa simply nonauited. A3 considerablecomment has been passed on my action inbringing this cbsb into Court, and as itsmerits are of public interest, I trust youwill publish the following:—l was non-suited simplybecause mysolicitorhad failedto take efficient ecops to prove a technicalpoint, viz., to produce the Gazette to provethe constitution andexiiter.co of ths Wsi-pp.-scci Town Board. The defendant'ssolicitor pressed this nonsuit point. In1802 Mr MoGreevy bought a plot of landfor £150, divided it into fgul: sections, andin September, 1892, while a member of thoTown Board, sold one Eection—the leastvaluable of the four—to the Town Boardfor £120. This land has remained un-occupied ever since, and the Town Boardhaa lost the interest of themoney. Iv myopinion many actions of the Town Boardhave been illegal for some time past, theinterests of tha piece and tho graatbulk oftha ritepayera havo been neglected, andmoat of the public money spont to benefitindividual mombors of tho Board or theirfriends. For obvious reasons, which Insed not particularise, I was con-vinced that the only efficient remedy forthis state of things wa3 to teach the chair-man oftha Town Board—Mr S. McGr-jevy—that there are such things as lules a_dregu-lations madeby the Legislature for thocon-duct of public business. Hence I broughtthis action. I hid no personal or interestedmotive, as Ihad promised, had I wen thecase, to handover the £10 fine whioh thejudgmentin my favorwould have oarried, tothepublic library. Toprove to you and thepublic that I was right, and _(r MoGreevywrong, the immediate sequelof tho case willshow. At the rising of the CourtI remarkedthat I wouldbring tho case on again. Thesame afternoon Mr MoGreevy ssnt thefollowing letter, covering a cheque for£120,to the treasurer cf theTown Board :—

April 18, 1895.The Waiptiwa Town Board,

lam informed that my sale to you oleection 30, Abbotssord (office site) is illegal,I hereby tender you tha uum of £120,being refund of purchase money, andrequest areconveyance to be prepared bymy solicitor and executedby you.—(Thisianot to be taken as an admission of thaillegality.)

(Signed) Siepjsbk _£c3!-__avr.Directly afterwards the clerk waa directed

to issue a notice culliag aspecial meetingofthe Board for .Friday, 26 inst, to considerthe letter of Commbsiener McGreevydated the 18thof April, 1895, referring tothe purchsso of a sit;) for sn office for theBoard, and hiarequest for a reconveyanceto himof section 30, Abbotaford. Furthercomment at present is superfluous,-—I am,&o.

THE MINISTER FORLANDS.

DEPUTATIONS._ho Hon. Mr _fcK«_zio received two

deputationsat tho Criterion Hotel last eve-ning who nought information on varioussubjects.

Fourreprsssntaitveaof tho building trade,introduced by Mr Carncll, i_.K._.., askedto ba informed whethsr anything dofinitohad been oettkd regarding tho system uponwhioh tha new polico station at Napier, andtho Ousfconu-housa as tho Spit, wore tobo erected. They urged that the workbodone ou the co-operative principle, thattho men be selected from tho ran;;a of theuneraployid, and that married men receivepreference over single,

Mr Mellon—o said be oould not give anyinformation as to tho date of commencingtho work, thornattir being outside his de-partment, but ho could assure tho deputa-tion that it tho Government founa itpossibletho contracts would be let on ihe co-opera-tive principle

Mr Darnell, in explanation, said that thedelay in commencing tliowork waa caused\;-r tho sav/miiltrs who, ho had been in-formed by Mr Bio 57, Secretary of thePublicWorks Department, refused to tender fortho supply of tho material.

ThoYkputa'.lou next drew the Minister'sattention to tho misleading reports in thoLabor Joumil, concerning the s;ato of tradein Mapier. The reports, they pointed out,■were compiledby tho Sergeantof i'olice, andthough tho figures contained therein woreunintentionally incorrect, thayhad theeffectof giving a very wrong impression outsideas to trade hero, inducing men to co_,6 tollapier believing that there waa a Hush ofwork. In ono such ca3e a collection had tomade to enable a man to got buck to hishome. Should tho Minister conaidor achange in the agency desirable, there was a■person willing to undertake thy duties for ayoar without remuneration, j

Kr Mo—an,>io said this waa not in hisDepartment; and he would not like tooxpresa an opinion as to effecting; a change,but ho promised to bring the matter underthe notice of Mr lieevea, Minister feyifibor. At any riiio, Uno rattuer actionwas taken, the bureau agent could be■written to, instructing him to be more caro-ful in hia report?.

Tho deputation asked what progress hadbeen made in eeouringand opening up landfor aettloisent in this district?

J_r M'KoDaie said the Governmenthadbeen in commnaioation with various peoplein tho dittri.es who hold properties, isskpigthem to sell to the Government, butur; to tho pyeßcnt timo thty hadnot received any reliable offer that theycould" entertain". Tho Laud PuronaaeBoard was atpresent sitting in Wellington,dealingwith the Commissioner's reports onsouthern properties, and as soon as this was

completed ho would b3 sent to this district.He (thoMinister) meantifpossible to s:v.uresome property and make a start with cieaasettlements, but from present appearancesiS seemed that the land would to_ boobtitned under the compulsory purehaaagclauses of tha Act. The Guveriimeut mustgat and leaao the property at a pnea thatsettles could mako a living out of «;otherwise ie wouldretard instead of assistingsettlement. „ .

As_ed a3 to whether anything dennitahad been decided upon regarding iheerection of tho lighthouse at Cape Kid-nappers, Mr M'cKeozio said he could notsay. The matter had not been before theCabinet yet, although the nautical adviserto ths Government had inspected tho pro-posed eito.

Mr Carnell said that the lighthousewouldprobably- be built of iron, but all tho weedwork, ho had been assured, would ba cloneou the co-operativo system.

Adeputation from the Knights of Laborwaited "on the Minister and brought up thequestion of the Labor Bureau Agency.They complained of the action of tho localagent reiativo to a Court case some weeksago, in which tho Sergeant of Polico hadobjected toa man undertaking the chargeof '1 boy because he •' was in poor circum-stances, and had at one timefigured on theunemployed list."

Mr M'Kenzio agreed that because a manhad been obliged to seek work through thebureau it should not be detrimental to hischaracter. Tha Government found thattaken allround tho policowere best able todeal with theapplications.

liegnrding the employment of boys onthe railways, 3fr M'lienzio said the Gov-ernment intended at an early date to dealwith the matter.

The deputation urged the abolitionof thepremium placed on postalnotes.

Mr M'Kenzio replied that this wouldsimply assist the banks who, if they couldget tha notes free of charge, would usethem forexchange instead of manufactur-ing for themselves.

The question of thaprobable purchase ofland forsettlement having been dealt with,the deputation withdrew.

This morning a deputation from theCharitable Aid board interviewed tho Min-ister regarding tho proposed scheme fordcaliug withthe unemployed difficultydar-ing the coming winter.

Tho Minister opprovod of the ides, andpromised to use his endeavors in securingsome land for thopurpose at Puketttki.

(Seceived April 20, 10.45a.m.)

Stchuy, This dayA deputation of Civil Servants waited on

tho Premier and asked that the adminiatra-tionof the superannuation fund and thesole control of all appointments andpromotions to tho service, be vestedia a Board of Commissioners responsibleto Parliament, aud that the Governmentallow the Civil Service to form a fundamong thomaelveson commercial principles,with Government assistance in the shape offour per cent, debentures. Tbe deputationadmitted that the poneione would have tobareduced, but thought the proposed re-ductions wereharsh.

Mr Eeid said tho superannuation fundwaa an inheritance from previous adminis-trations, and was typical of the way thofinances of the colony had been managed.Tho state of the fund waa a scandal anddisgrace to tho country. The matter waaserious, and would have tho careful con-sideration of the Government, who weredesirous of placing the fund on a betterbasis. He thought the deputation waspursuing a wise course in moving in thodirection of a life insurance system. Onegreat difficulty in the way was that thomajority in Parliament was opposed topensions. Soma serious changes wouldprobably have to be made in the CivilService," but every individual wouldreceivea fair remuneration forhis services.

HASTINGS.[OWN O(>B3SS?OK__K2.]

I made some reference lately to apossibility of tho pin - making industrybeing established iv the North island. Theim.portar.oa of tho subjoct justifies a moraextended reference, not theleast being thaemployment it will give to girls. Needle-making is another matter, and not likely tosucceed, tho process being so complex, andthe plant so expensive. But the pin-makinghas been so perfected by machinerythat the process is almost automatic, andthe plant is by no meana expensive; infact, Abelieve that £100 would start thoconcern, and I don't see why such anindustry should not ba commenced inNapier or Hastings. The amount statedincludes a complete plant, machine andbath for whitening and hardening thepinsAs to the market for thorn, there can bo nodoubt that ttia consumption in the colonywould fully repay the investment. Themachine is so complete that the onlythingrequired to ba done by hand is to plaoo acoil of wiro on the reel, and to takeaway the pins as tbey drop out of themaohino. The difficulty at present is thewire. This would have to ba imported, asthe expense of diawiug it would ba toogroat. If there was a probability of itsbeing a success, it would be quitereasonabletooxpsct that the Government would con-sider the advisability of remitting the dutyou brass wire for that especialpurpose. Theidea is worth consideringby someone hav-ing a little capitalaad plenty of energy-

BRETA'SDOUBLE.

[BY HELEN Y. CiuEYSON.]

CHAPTER XVIII.ON MISCHIEF KEN o.' .

Carlos Monteri called every morningat tbe post office to see if there wereany letters for him, and on the dayfollowing Breta's escape he found oneawaiting him, in Nita's handwriting.

'Ah ! What's up, now, I wonder ?'lie said half aloud.

As he found himself alone, he toreopen the envelope and began to readthe closely written lines.

'Well, of all things holy !' he ex-claimed. ' A nice watch she has keptod the girl i I might have known theidiot would have let her slip throughher finders. I did not intend that sheshould come to the front just jet. Imust try some means to prevent it. Ifshe has reached Brentwood Park, thejig is up for Inez. I'll have to call onher and tell her the news. My ! Butwon't she quake in her shoes !'

A half-hour later, Carlos Monteriascended the step3of Eavensmere andsent his card up to Miss Danton.

He had lost no time in making' himself known to Inez after finding-v out her destination, and now he was a

frequent caller at Eavensmere as thefriend of Miss Danton.

She hastily descended to the draw-ing room upon receiving his card.

•Ah, you did well to make haste !'he said to her. ' I have bad news toimpart. Breta Danton has escaped.'

' What !' she exclaimed in sup-pressed tones.

'You understood, did you not?'' But how ? You told me there

was no chance of her escaping.'' Well, that doesn't alter the fact in

•the least. She escaped during thestorm the other night.'

' What shall Ido ? Oh, what shall.- Ido 1 Carlos, you must help me.'

'If she has arrived at BrentwoodPark, you have lost the game ; but ifnot, there still may bo a chance foryou. The only way that I see out ofit is to trace her steps and find outWhere she is ; then we can better tellhow to get her into our power again.'

1 1 will go with you, Carlos. I willtell them here that I am going to seeMrs Brentwood, and you and I cango to the place from which she escapedand, at least, trace her. If she hasnot made herself known at Brentwood,1 have no fear that we shall notsucceed.'

' Would it not be safer forme to goalone V he asked.

' No, no ; I must go, too. I wantto see her put somewhere that shecannot escape again in a hurry.'

«Oh, well, it doesn't make anydifference to me. Since you wish togo, be at the station at three. Ofcourse, I will be there also. I leaveyou to manage, so that no one willsuspect your destination. After all,this is more your affair than it is mine.'

' Oh, Heaven !' exclaimed Inez,When within the precinct of her ownroom. 'I will not be defeated ! Iwill not let that white-faced girl oustme from all this wealth ! Bah! I■would kill her first. lam notgive up without a struggle, and I'llfind a way to get her out of my path.Carlos is of more use to me than Ithought, but once let me get BretaDanton in my clutches and then, MrCarlos Monteri, I can dispense withyour services altogether.'I Having made all her arrangements

Hfor her departure, three o'clock found■her at the station awaiting the train.IShe had sent the coachman home,Itelling him that there was no necessityBfor him to wait until the train started,■so there was no one to see her get on■ the car 3 followed by Carlos Monteri.Hlnez felt that she could not wait for the■train to reach her destination, so eager■was she to get Breta Danton withinHher power ere she made herself known■toEric Brentwood and his mother.H ' The chances are,' she said to Carlos,Rthat, granting that she did escape,Hhe lost her way. How could she knowHvhich way to go to get to the park,Kspecially on such a night as that. IHeel that we shall find her.'H ' Bad for you, if you don't/returnedHie, with a half-chuckle.

H CHAPTER XIX.__t I'i.oTTm;.

H Upon arriving at the house of Nita,and his companion questioned

___si closely about the escape of herand after bearing from her

' All ?:ight. This is your plan. Ifit brings failure, don't blame me.'

' I _aye no fear or failure now thatI have her under my thumb,' she re-plied in a voice filled with triumph.

'' Don't be too sure,' he said with apeculiar look in his beady eyes.

' What do you mean ?' she askedquickly.

' I mean, my dear, that I have nothad my revenge yet.

' Still harping on that V she ex-claimed indignantly.

< Ah, well, let that drop for thepresent. As I told youbefore, so longas you obey rae, I'll let you enjoy yourill-gotten fortune.'

She turned her face toward thewindow to conceal from him the look. of malignant hatred which she couldnot prevent from shining from hereyes.

To herself she was saying :

'Threaten me as much as you please,Carlos Monteri, but my time willcome ; and when it does, beware ! Weshall see which is the shrewder, you orI. You shall not come between meand my aspirations. I am the ack-nowledged granddaughter of old GeraldDanton, and as su„i I mean to inherithi3 wealth. He is old and will notlive very long, and—'

Her musings were interrupted byMonteri. who addressed her ;

' She shows signs of reviving fromthe drug we gave her before starting.'

'I hope she will not until wo reachour destination.'

'I don't think she will, as we are al-most there now,' returned Carlos ; thenadded : ' Of course, you must leave thecar alone, while I will see that mywife (?) is conveyed to her future resi-dence.'

'You must not hire any one to takeyon there. That might mean ruin,'put in Inez.

'Do you take me for a fool V hesneered, as the train came to a pause.

Is Life Worth Living?

Is life worth iiring ? Yes, so longAs thereis wrong to right,

Wftil of the weak against thestrong,Or tyrannyto fight;

liODg as there lingers gloom to chase,Or streaming tears todry,

One kindred woe, one sorrowing faceThat smiles as we draw nigh;

longas a tale of anguish swellsThe heart and lids grow wet.

And at the sound of Christmas bellsWe pardon and forget ;

So longas Faith with Freedom reigns,And loyal Hope survives,

And gracious Charity remainsTo leaven lowly lives;

While there is one untrodden trackFor Intellect or Will,

Andmen are free to think and aot,Life is worth hiring still.

>__< .A REMARKABLE, YET TRUE STORY

OF THE

Penal Records of Van Dieman's Land.>—;-<

BY CAPTAIN LACIE.

SYNOPSIS OFPREVIOUS CHAPTERS.In the wild and grandly picturesque region

of the east coast of "Van Dieman's Land,at tho foot of the _ ingal Kange3 and on thebanks of the Honeysuckle Creek, is situatedthe pleasant homestead of John Edwards—one of theoldest and most prosperous settlersin that country during the year 1849. Thestory openson tho night of the 3rd of May.Mrs. Edwards and her three sons are absent,leaving Mary, their only daughter, and herfatheralone at the homestead. In the even-ing about dusk Mary Edwards observes herfather galloping home at a furious pace evi-dently under" strongexcitement. On dismount-ing he hastily conveys to his daughter thestartling intelligencethatanotoriouscharacter,known as College Jack, togetherwith two otherassigned servants,who havobeen working on afarm owned by the " Barrows " at Falmouth,have escaped, taking to the bush, after firstattacking the homestead, murdering old Mr.Barrows and attempting the life of the son,young Tom, who, by the way, is engagedto Mary Edwards. During thenight the threeoutlaws makea most determined attack uponEdwards's homestead, fatally wounding theoldman in theirfirst volley. Maryheroically holds'thematbay singlehanded and makesher escapeonhorsebackundercoverof thedarkness just asCollcgo Jack, whosareal name is Tarleton, andhis remaining companion, Jim Mixner, forceanentrance by breakingiv tho frontdoor. Maryreaches a place of safety and immediatelyre-turns accompanied by fourof the neighboringsettlers only to find the homestead in flames.With difficulty the fire is extinguished and thoremains of her father rescued. A. few daysafter her fatherhas been laid to rest, the sadintelligence of the death of Mrs. Edwards isbroughtby her brothers, who at once form astrongparly solemnly pledged to revenge thedeathof theirparents. Headed by John Ed-wards, who is supportedby a constable namedMiles Griffin, a noted bushranger hunter, theparty follow the tracks of the fugitives forseveral days, throughthe rough and almost in-accessible fastnesses, in the direction of MountNicholas. Onreaching a chasm in themountainsthepursuers are suddenly attacked and a des-perate encounter takes place in which TomBarrows is slain on one side and Mixner on theother. During the fight a strange apparitionappears fora moment upon therocks oppositebeckoning the brothers. To their horror andconsternation they recognise in it the well-

.known figure of their sister, Mary, evidently inthe power of College Jack. Tho pursuit iscontinued with renewed vigor leading in thedirection of the sea coast,which is reached onthemorning of the following day. From tnesummit ofa high cliff overlooking theoceanasmall'boat is observed making straight out tosea in which is seated Tarleton andMary. Thelatterupon seeing them waves her hands andgivesutterance to a strange, hysterical laughas theboat disappearsin theclosing darkness.A closewatch is maintained along the coast fortheboat's return.

CHAPTER IX.

Griffin was confirmed in the beliefthat Tarleton's escape with the girl inthe boat was only a ruse to deceivethe pursuers, and he felt satisfied hewas within measurable distance ofput-ting his hand on the fugitive. Theonly competitor he feared was death.Yet the' pleasant anticipation of theconstable was not destined to berealised. For two days the watch waskept for a distance of fully thirty milesalong the coast by the various partiessent out, but not a trace of the man orthe boat could be discovered. On thethirdday a furious storm came from thenorth and the hitherto placid sea be-came a raging cauldron of seethingwaters. Enormous waves threw them-selves on the ironbound coast with re-lentless fury, and the light foam wasflung into the faces of the watchers farabove on the cliffs. No boat—andfew ships—could have lived on thatcoast through the wild storm, and itwas now clear that if Tarleton andMary Edwards, had not somehow man-aged to land they did not belong tothis world.

Even if they were concealed in thecliffs it was highly probable their fatewas sealed as the gigantic waves androllers which swept in, submerged the

and filled the caverns for a con-siderable height. " This fact convincedConstableMires Griffin it was no furtheruse wasting time in the vain watch andhe notifiedhis friendsaccordingly. Thesettlers indeed had already given upany hope of finding the bushranger andonly the brothers cling to the remotepossibility that their sister might befound. The storm dispelled it, and re-luctantly they left the district and wentback to Honeysuckle Creek in com-pany with the constable.

On the preceding day the last riteshad been paid to Tom Barrows at hishomestead, and the constables actingunder the orders of Miles Griffin, whopossessed a roving commission on suchmatters, were left in charge of the placeuntil further instructions were obtained.While at the farm-house Griffin learnednews which in a manner shed a littlelight on the movements of Mary Ed-wards. The men in charge informedhim that on the day preceding the oneon which the fight on the mount tookplace, the girl had called at the houseenquiring for young Barrows. Shetold "the men she had ridden over fromher own house, and that was evident asthe horse was with her and one of theconstables recognised the animal asold"Duke."

On learning that Barrows had notbeen at the place for several days andwas no doubt in the mountains search-,ing for the bushrangers, the girl saidshe would go back again and shortlyafter left. The men informed Griffinthere was something peculiar about herwhich they could not understand. Shespoke rationally enough but there wasa hunted, wild look in the eyes thatwas not natural. One of them askedthe visitor if she had been frightenedwhile coming.over, but she only gave apeculiar laugh and shook her head inanswer.

This was the substance of the story,and it made an impression on Griffinthough it did not clear the mystery savein one respect. This was where thegirl had been captured. The officerhad wondered at the audacity of thetwo men venturing to return to Honey-suckle Creek farm and abduct the girl,but he now concluded she had beencaptured when on a visit to Falmouth.It was likely the outlaws were prowlinground the district, especially about Bar-rows's, in thehope ofgetting morefood,which kt that time would be runningshort with lh_n. Indeed young Tomhad expressed the opinion that theywould do so, and ihe circumstancesseemed to point to the fact.

He said nothing to the b:othersabout the matter, but when theyreached tie home of the Edwards a&esb aud move, startling surprise was in»te»r® foi ®»em all. The two Robert--3G86 _a_ the man-servant were at thepkafi, bat of courss, a« they expected,Mary wa? not to he seen. Hopingthat at tea-sv some important information

would be obtained, the constable lis-tened eagerly to the question John Ed-wards put to Agnes Robertson, whowas the first person they met at thefarm.

"When did you last see Mary ?" heasked.

" Six days ago. She is down at Gib-son's, and Tom will go and tell heryou have returned," answered the girl,quietly.

"At Gibson's?" echoed the men to-gether. " How do you know she isthere. When did she go ?'' they queried,breathlessly.

"Six days ago. Last Monday sherode down on ' Duke,' and if she is notthere she would be here, of course.Where else would Mary be?" askedAgnes, in surprise, as she noted thequeer expression on the faces of themen.

" Wait until I return," John Edwardscurtly said to the group, and urging hishorse forward he galloped in the direc-tion of Gibson's farm near the Point,whilst the girl's wondering eyesfollowedhis movements.

"Have you seen or heard anythingof thebushrangers since we left?" askedthe constable.

"Nothing whatever. No one hasbeen here since you went away exceptmy father. Everything has been quietand we thought the two men musthave gone away altogether or that per-haps you came up with them in themountains. Has anything happened?We have not heard any news," an-swered the girl.

" We are afraid something has hap-pened to Miss Edwards, but until Johnreturns we cannot be sure. Perhaps ithas all been a mistake on our part andwe have been too ready to jump atconclusions. Do you know if there isany other girl in the district like Mary.Edwards?" asked Griffin of the group as-sembled.

Both the brothers and Miss Robert-son were bound to say they did not.There were only three girls about herown age in the whole region, so that itwas not difficult to give an answer tothe questions. Before John Edwardshad returned young Robertson andMichael Cahill, thehired man, came tothe house, and to them and the sisterof the young man the strange story re-garding Mary Edwards was related.The girl treated.it as absolutely impos-sible, but the men were inclined toplace more reliance on the narrative asit seemed most improbable the brotherscould be mistaken in recognising theirown sister.

"She left here last Monday morningon a visit to the Gibsons, saying shewould stay there for a few days, and asthe girl was moping here we thought itwas wise she should make the change.If you returned before she came backword was to be at once sent to her. Igot the horse ready and we saw herride away down the plain until thescrub hid her from view. None of ushad the least shadow of doubt aboutMiss Mary being at_her friends or Iwould have quickly ascertained," saidRobertson.

"It was no use arguing the matteruntil the return of the elder brother,and in little more than half-an-hour hewas seen riding back. No time hadbeen lost and his news was emphatic.Miss Edwards was not at- Gibson'shouse and she had not even calledthere on the Monday in question.

There were blank faces when thisnews was given, and in a manner thoseleft in charge at Honeysuckle Creekbegan to reproach themselves for nothaving exercised more care, though inreality there was no cause for a re-proach. Cahill expressed the opinionthat since the outrage when her fathermet his death the girl had not been thesame in her mind.

" I couldn't say what was the matter,but her manner was changed and Ididn't understand her at all," Cahill re-marked to the constable.

In such a district at that time newswould necessarily travel slowly. Therewas no need to run the fiery cross ofalarm as young Tom Barrows haddone, because the fact ofconvicts beingon the rampage was already known andthe settlers were on theirguard. More-over a well equipped and determinedparty were in hot pursuit and there waslittle to fear from the outlaws. Henceit was the residents near Long Pointhad not been apprised of the factswhich had happened during the preced-ing day. There was no reason to senda courier round the Fingal. district asthe settlers most concerned wrere en-gaged tracking the bushrangers whothey were given to understand were intheir immed. neighborhood. In factthe party which .1 set out from Ed-wards's homestead would be the mostsuitable to carry back the news, andthey were left to do it. The threebrothers were the parties chiefly con-cerned and they were already convers-ant with the story.

When the people around Long Pointwere informed of the mysterious occur-rence they were utterly astonished andmyatified to a degree. Atnoon on theprevious Monday Mary Edwards hadbeen seen riding in the direction ofGibson's house, yet on the same nightshe must have been on the summit ofMount Nicholas if the theory whichwas built up could hold together. Onthat night the two outlaws had hurledthe mass of rock down the precipice onthe heads of their pursuers, and at thevery moment the girl must have beenwith them. If not how could she havebeen in their company next day whenthe fight took place which ended in thedeaths of Barrows and Mixner. Thatwas the point which puzzled all but theconstable, and rather than mortallywound the feelings of his friends hekept his ideas to himself.

"The girl must have been in leaguewith these wretches all the time andjoined them with her own free will. Isuppose she fell in love with that hand-some ruffian, Tarleton, when visitingBarrows's place, and the whole businesshas been a diabolically planned andbloodthirsty attempt to put Barrowsout of the way and get the girl. I don'tclearly see otherwise why the convictsshould have risen at Barrows's farm.Of course Holmes and Mixner wouldbe influenced by Tarleton, and as soonas they served the latter's purpose theywould be put out of the way. OldEdwards partly checked the plans ofthe ruffians, but the escape of Barrowswas the worst blow of all. And tothink that girl should have been con-cerned in such a plot! She had apeculiar appearance when I come tothink," the constable mused, "and nowI understand it. Perhaps "—and thecallous man slightly shuddered—"itwas she who shot her father on thatnight; but ifshe had gone off with theruffian it would have been too bare-faced. The plot was well worked. The

escape on horseback, &c, &c. was verygood. With the girl- still at the farm

ishe would be in a position to help theoutlaws, but if she had gone into thebush with them on the night of theoutrage they would only have been en-cumbered by her presence. Yes, it ismore than likely Mary Edwards shother own father. The idea of a strayshoot in the dark entering the loop-hole and killing the old man is absurd,"and the officer gave a low chuckle asmuch as to say he had discoveredsomething worth knowing. "I dare-say she only met the ruffians to warnthem that constables were in Barrows'shouse. If not they would have at-tacked the place and most likely losttheir lives. What a fearful woman shemust have been ! There were herthree brothers and deluded sweetheartat the foot of the cliff and she stoodcalmly whilst death in a horrible formwas being hurled on them. I'll haveto tell the lads she wasat Falmouth onthe Monday, and of course they willthink she was made captive there bythe outlaws. Well, let them think so.Poor fellows, they have gone throughenough lately. Father, mother andsister lost to them, though if they knewthe truth they would not grieve.muchover the latter. I will give my sus-picions to the authorities though andlet them act as they please in thematter. She must have planned every-thing for the escape even to getting theboat in case-we forced them out of theranges. And think of the way sheacted in the fight! She urged thearch-ruffian to keep out of sight whilstshe marched out to entice her ownflesh and blood to death. That was asbad almost as slaying her father. If Iknew as much then as I do now I al-most think I would have shot her down—by accident, of course. What a pityI couldn't draw a bead on Tarleton !Well, they are both past praying fornow, and I suppose I must turn to livesubjects again. There is plenty to do.I'll see John Edwards and then makeaway for Oaklands," concluded theconstable as he walked with bent headtowards the stables where the threebrothers were hard at work groomingthe horses.

The fact of Mary Eawards being atFalmouth and 'having visited the latehome of Barrows was communicated tothe brothers who, as the officer sur-mised, immediately concluded it wasthere the girl had fallen into the handsof the two escapees.

"She must have been anxious aboutpoor Tom Barrows, and to ally it de-cided to visit the homestead. Shewould have a girl's delicacy in tellingher friends of the fact and insteadwould arrange to go to Gibson's, Be-fore doing so the idea was toturn roundand head for Falmouth, and these ruf-fians being on the watch seized her.She must have been paralysed withterror and a pliant instrument in theirhands afterwards," replied John, sor-rowfully.

" Very likely," answered the con-stable, dryly ; "but I thought she wasmore courageous than you seem togive her credit for. On the night ofthe attack here she did not show muchfear—in fact good work was done byher. The shooting of Holmes and thehorse and the general defence madewhile her father was dying prove her tohave been possessed of most uncom-mon courage in so young a person.However, you shouldknow best. I'msorry we didn't do better than we did,Edwards, but we must take failure withsuccess, I suppose."

"You have no cause to say that,Miles. Everything which a brave mancan do was done. The ruffians havemet with their deserts and the fear ofoutrage has been removed from the dis-trict chiefly through you. Ifmyfamilyhas suffered we must try and bear it.You will always be a, welcome guesthere, Griffin—that is as long as we arehere," was the answer.

A couple of hours after the officertook his departure on the long journeyto Oaklands and the brothers were leftin their bereaved home to mourn thedead. They were now quite satisfiedthat death had overtaken their sisterand it afforded little pleasure to thinkthe arch-ruffian, John Tarleton aliasCollege Jack, had also sent in hischecks to the Great Collector. Theweeks rolled on and they settled downwith saddened hearts to the humdrumof their routine life; but it was nowdistasteful to John and he soon re-solved to relinquish it on the first op-portunity.

Meanwhile a most curious romancehad been enacted, the details of whichborder on the realms of fiction, thoughthey are practically true and can bevouched for by many an official docu-ment in Van Dieman's Land. It willbe necessary to here recount what hadreally happened to Mary Edwards sothat the reader may not misjudge herso severely as Constable Miles Griffinhad done.

From the night of the attack onHoneysuckle Creek homestead the girlhad not been quite sane. As Griffinhad said there was something peculiarin her look which, to a student of men-tal pathology, denoted a finely strungand sensitive organism. The roughsettlers or constables with whom shecame in contact were not qualified todiscover those mental traits inherent tomadness. Madness was only demon-strated when a man or woman com-mitted outrages andbloodthirsty crimes.There was no such thing as delusionsof the brain in the vocabulary of theirmental dictionary, and hence it wasthey all failed to notice the seriouschange which had taken place in MaryEdwards. Instead of being a light-hearted, active girl she began to brood.Naturally sadness should have settledon her, but it was not grief alone whichwas present. Absence of mind, strangefits of reverie and the more delicatepremonitions of mental aberration werebecoming more marked as the dayswent on.

When her brothers left the home-stead with Barrows and the constableshe exhibited a listless apathy whichconsiderably offended her sweetheart,though the brothers took little or nonotice of the fact. Yet the expeditionhad not been gone an hour when shegave way to the most poignant grief atthe thought of the risk which Barrowsand her brothers were about to run, andit took all the art of Agnes Robertsonto soothe her into calmness.

From that moment she was hauntedwith the thought that Tom Barrowswould never see her again, and so faras the girl was concerned she went tothe grave under the impression that itwas solely through her her lover wouldmeet his death. In a manner the pro-phetic vision which she possessed cameto pass.

CHAPTER X

One day followed another, and everbrooding on the fate of the man sheloved, the girl decided to ascertain be-yond doubt ifhe were still alive. Thiswas during a fitful gleam of sanity, forto all intents and purposes the girl ifnot quite a lunatic was at least a mono-maniac. With the cunning of madnessshe told her friends herpurpose was tovisit her neighbors, the Gibsons, andostensibly with that object she set outin the direction oftheir place.

As soon as the scrub hid her sheturned the horse to thenorth and madefor Falmouth. The road was familiarto her and she quickly entered theneighborhood cfBarrows's farm. Thiswas the spot she wanted to reach, andalmost oblivious of the fact that hersweetheart was in the mountains in pur-suit of the convict murderers she madefor the house fully expecting to meetyourg Tom.

When she rode up one of the con-stables who knew her came out andtold her the young man had not re-turned, when greatly to his surprise sheasked to see his father, which was herusual request when visiting the farmpreviously. The man stared at theflushed face and was unable to reply tothe strange question, for he was awareMiss Edwards knew of the fate whichhad overtaken the old man.

Thinking it was a lapse of memoryhe then reminded her that Barrowssenior was not fere, but she acceptedthe news in a listless way that showed itdid not interest her in the least.Naturally thinking the visitor would betired and thirsty, he asked her to comeinto the house, and have a cup of tea—a request with which she complied.Her manner during the few minutesthe girl was in the house was queerenough to impress the other constables,but they, not previously knowing MissEdwards, set the cause down to every-thing but the right one.

In half an hour from her arrival shemounted her horse and departed, takingthe secluded road by which Tom Bar-rows and she had so often returnedtowards Fingal. This was not theusual route back but branched offslightly to the- west and skirted alongtheranges. It was thickly woodedandthe dense scrub led up to the ranges.

She had not gone three hundredyards away from the clearing which sur-rounded the house when two menjumped out of the undergrowth, and,standing in front of the horse withlevelled muskets, called upon, her tostop. It was Tarleton and Mixner,and when the former walked up andseized the horse's bridle as Tom Bar-rows had often-done, the girl's phantasyassumed a strange form.

It was her sweethefart she saw beforeher sure enough, and, with a cry of joy,she hailed him as " Tom!" For a fewmoments the dark, evil-faced man wastaken aback, but as he looked in sur-prise at the wild eyes of the girl he instantly divined what was wrong. " Sheis clearly mad. This is a queer busi-ness. Yet she may be of use to us," hemuttered.

John Tarleton had been educatedfor the medical profession, and it wasthrough-the intimate knowledge he pos-sessed of poisons and their actions thatthe devilish crime with which he hadbeen accused'in the old land had beenconsummated. No doubt he wouldhave been an ornament to his profes-sion had not the crook been in hisbrain. As it was he became a danger-ous scoundrel.

He immediately saw his only coursewas to humor the young girl and keepup the deception, and in this he quicklymade progress. He, of course, estab-lished his identity as Barrows, and, as-suming a dictational tone, told her todismount which she did. The horsewas then taken by Mixner into thescrub and the ruffian cut its throat asthey did not want any further dis-coveries to be made at the time. Assoon as this was done Tarleton and thegirl led the way through the scrubtowards Mount Nicholas a short dis-tance away. The clever ruffian hadtruly diagnosed the case of his victim.In this he was assisted by the fact thathe was aware Tom Barrows and Marywere lovers as he discovered the factduring the sojourn at the farm.

It was about four in the afternoonwhen they reached a point on themount just above the cliff where thetragedy had so nearly occurred, andmore by chance than design Tarletoncaught sight of the advancing pursuers.Telling the girl the bushrangers werecoming he concealed her in some scrubclose at hand, whilst he and his com-panion kept watch on John Edwardsand his party. As the reader alreadyknows, they remained at thebase of thecliff for the night and the project ofhurling the rock on them was carriedout. Incredible as it may seem MaryEdwards actually assisted the two ruf-fians in their work of murder, provinghow completely unhinged her mindmust have been.

They found their strength not quiteequal to the task of prising over themass, and it was the additional aid thegirl lent that caused it to topple. Notonly so but the young woman took agleeful pleasure in the work of deathand was foremost in hoping that theaim of themenhad been accomplished.Madnessgenerally takes the form of in-juring those whom the affected lovebest, for they are generally unconsciousof their personality. So it was in thiscase.

When the avalanche had been letloose the two outlaws deemed it advis-able to search out a more secure spotthan the top of the cliff. If the thun-derbolt had failed it was certain thosefor whom it was intended would tryand retaliate, and both parties knewthe scrub on the opposite side of thechasm would be the best place theycould make for. From there theycould not only command the easternascent of the cliffbut also the summitand obtain a good view of the base inorder to see what hadbeen.the result oftheir action.

When morning broke they were inthe new location, and both eagerlyscanned the pile of debris at the bot-tom. It seemed almost impossibleanyone at the base of the cliff couldhave escaped such a shower of rocksand earth, and the bushrangers con-gratulated themselves on the fact thatone—if not all the foes—had goneunder: Nevertheless they prudentlydecided to maintain a strict watchthroughout the day and keep them-selves in hiding to make certain. Mean-while the girl remained in a dull con-dition. Tarleton was desirous ofkeep-ing her in his clutches, as he thoughtshe might prove valuable as a means ofsaving his life if necessary. He.fullybelieved the brothers would give up thepursuit in exchange for their sister, andthat fact was important to remember.

He conveyed this information to hispartner in crime, Mixner, but the latterlaughed it off as being absurd.

" You surely don't know what you aretaking about, Jack. After what we'vedone our doom is certain, unless wecan keep our lives by force and escapefrom the island. Murders are not par-doned by the authorities. If it wassimply a matter of bushranging—takingto the bush and robbing—it would beright enough, but under present cir-cumstances don't hope for the leastmercy. If the girl's brothers and lovergave up the pursuit there are hundredswho would take it up. If these fellowsattack us to-morrow and get the best ofit our plan—and, indeed, the onlycourse we will have open to us—is tomake for the coast. There is a boatthere near old Floyd's, and if we put oflin it we may have a slight chance 61saving our skins for the time being,"the cunning and more experienced con-vict answered.

"Where could we go to ? Whatwould become of the girl ?" asked Tar-leton, glancing across to where MaryEdwards sat looking towards him.

"I believe there is an island aboutseven miles due east of the little baywhere the boat lies, and in ordinaryweather we should be able to reach itand evade those who are after us. Itis our only chance under the circum-stancesand we must risk it. As for thegirl—well, do as you like," and the out-law shrugged his shoulders. " Thebest plan will be to leave her behindor use a bullet. She would only be anuisance and give us away on the firstopportunity. For my part I don't be-lieve she is mad at all, and if she gotusasleep would cutour throats or shoot usin a moment. I'm keeping a watch onher though, and she'll have to besmarter than she is."

"You are wrong there, Jim. Trustmy knowledge on the point. If wemust risk the coast we ought not toleave here until all hope is past. Wemust fight; and as there are three ortourdays' provisions still it is best to staywhere we are. As for the girl I'll thinkthe matter out. It may be better to doas you advise, but there is tifehurry andit is not wise to be hasty, - answeredTarleton.

"Except that our food will goquicker. That is a reason and oneworth considering. Halloa ! Lookout, Jack. See yonder!" and Mixnerpointed to a belt of scrub about threehundred yards to the west, where theform of a man could be noticed stand-ing near a tree.

"They have got up on theother side;but surely there is more than one left.If not we-will soon settle matters. Iwill take a shot athim, Jim. There isno fun in dallying on like this. Theycannot get across the chasm, and if weare likely to get the worst we can takeyour advice and retreat."

As he spoke the outlaw levelled hismusket and fired at the man in thescrub who had a narrow escape. Thiswas the shot which revealed the where-abquts of thebushrangers, and the lattersoon found that the avalanche of theprevious night had not thinned theranks of their foes. The reader is al-ready aware of what succeeded theshot. Mixner took up a position nearhis chief, and beside the latter sat thegirl not greatly interested in the en-counter.

It was quite an afterthought of Tar-leton's to send the girl out of the scrubin front ofthe approaching foes. It oc-curred to him theywould not be awarethe girl was in their power, and it wasgood policy to let them have a know-ledge of the fact as it would make themhesitate to fire and show them he helda trump hand

Mary Edwards did as ordered with-out the slightest demur, for the out-law seemed to possess a mesmericpower over her. The effect was greaterthan the bushranger imagined, and he,too torn by conflicting emotions, wastoo surprised to take full advantage ofthe occurrence. Not so with Mixner.He was cool enough, and soon gavethe unfortunate but imprudent Barrowshis quietus. Seeing Tarleton was let-ting his musket rest idle by the log, hetook it up and was aiming at John Ed-wards when the bullet from MilesGriffin's rifleput an end to his lawlesscareer.

Tarleton's conflicting emotions werecaused by the idea he had formed olmaking terms with his attackers, for inspite of Mixner's remarks he believed iithe girl was given up the party whcwere so closely pursuing them would alleast wink at their escape. Hence hedid not want bloodshed, but the pre-cipitate act ofMixner in slaying youngBarrows put the idea of a compromiseor bargain entirely out of question. Foia fewminutes he was undecided how toact. Had he been as resolute as usualone or more of the brothers would havefallen; but, like the ruthless victor ofMaddeburg, a mist appeared before hiseyes and his nerves failed. Perhaps itwas the presence of the girl which savedthebrothers, for the outlaw did not firebut called her back to the shelter.

Seeing that his comrade was deadthe bushranger took Mary by the armand retreated down the mount. He re-cognised that the four men would makeround the chasm and attack him toavenge the fallen Barrow, and he de-cided to act on the advice given by thedead outlaw. He knew at least oneboat was kept near Floyd's as he hadoften seen it, and if the isla-nd was asMixner stated there would not be muchdifficulty in reaching the place.

It might here be stated that no suchspot as that mentioned did exist off thatparticular part of the coast.

The girl was well used to the bush,and she made her way along almost asquickly as the outlaw. Moreover theyhad an advantage not possessed bytheir pursuers in being able to travel atnight, which they availed themselves of.The pursuers had to have daylight inorder to follow the trail and that keptthem back. Tarleton and the girlreached the coast about nine hours be-fore the party under John Edwardsstood upon the cliff. They had notmet a human being in the flight for thedistrict was very sparsely populated.Even if the outlaw had been observedthe presence of the girl would havediverted suspicion, and the fellow wellknew it. There was more cunning inhis nature than Mixrer possessed,though the constable thought other-wise.

The locality which John Tarletonstruck on the coast wasnot unknown tohim, and he quickly descried the smallbay near Floyd's. Descending to thebeach the two went along, and thebushranger was glad to find the boat atits moorings. They entered the craftand he rowed along the coast until apoint was reached nearly opposite thatat which they struck the coast line.Enormous cliffs towered :'.:> and a small

sheltered haven, inaccessible except bywater, invited them to enter.

The bushranger was thoroughlyfatigued, but it was simply wonderfulhow the girl bore up under the toil.Her endurance was another proof of themadness which possessed her. Hereyesrefused the gentle influence ofsleep,and the outlaw was too much occupiedwith his own thoughts to notice thewild expression which they held.

He was glad of a short rest in mesmall recess, and his idea was to waituntil evening and put off in the direc-tion where he believed the island was tobe found. From the directions givenby Mixner he must now he thought bein a direct line with it, and if luckyshould reach the spot by daylight. Inany case he must get out of sight of themainland so that his pursuers if theysucceeded in tracking him to the cliffswould not" know what course he hadtaken. He had no idea the four, menwould follow so quickly. It occurredto him they would remain behind andcarry down the body of Tom Barrowsbefore taken up the pursuit, but in thathe was mistaken.

Before sunset he noticed the mist otfog gathering around, and, secure in hisbelief that John Edwards and his partywere not yet near the coast, he decidedto put oft sooner than darkness fell.The fog would effectually conceal theboat. Besides, the waves were begin-ning to roll into the rock-bound recesswith some force and thiscompelled himto use the oars in keeping the craftfrom dashing against the rocks.

Mary Edwards sat statue-like in thestern, and somehow the queer aspect ofthe girl, with her fixed, staring eyes ofpreternatural brightness, had an un-canny effect upon the man as he lay inthe boat under the tremendous cliffs.He thought of the incident a couple ofnights previously when she had assistedthem to hurl death on those nearesther,and he could not forbear casting un-easy glances upward at the hangingmasses of water-worn rock. What ifNemesis should loosen a portion of thematerial and let it fall on me ! It wasnot a pleasant subject to think about,and impulsively he grasped the oarsand pulled seawards

He had not propelled the craft morethan a couple of hundred yards outwhen he caught sight of the excitedgroup on the cliff, and he was inwardlythankful there was not another boatclose at hand in which the pursuit couldbe maintained. He spoke to the girland pointed to themen on the cliff, andas she turned tolook he ordered her towave her hands in farewell. Mechani-c-ally she obeyed, and then as if thesituation amused her she burst into amirthless, unearthly laugh which washeard by those on the land. A fewminutes more and the gathering fogswallowed them up and the figures onthe cliff disappeared like the shadowsofnight before the newly risen sun.

For at least a couple of hours theoutlaw pulled, as he thought, in aneasterly direction, but as he had nocompass it was mere guess-work on hispart. Then fatigue compelled him todesist and he allowed the boat to driftwhither it would. During the night hetook occasional turns at the oars, andwhen morning broke there was no signof the mainland save the misty, blueoutline of a mountain far to the west.This was probably Mount Nicholas andthe fugitive congratulated himself onthe good fortune which had enabledhim to keep so wellon his course. Hestood" up in the boat and lookedto theeast as soon as the sun was high enoughto enable him to do so with effect, butno land met his eager eyes. The islandwhich his late comrade spoke about wasnot visible, and Tarleton thought itmust be further away than Jim Mixnerthought.

"Seven miles!" he muttered. "Weare more than seven miles out now andthere isn't the least sign. Well, we willgo on and if there is.nothing but waterto be seen by noon I'll take a turn tothe north."

SOME SEVERE FROSTS.

History Las chronicled many a severefrost, and there seems abundance of in-formation to prove that our climate,.or the climateof Europe, has undergoneno. material change during the last two jthousand years. In the year 250 theThames was frozen for nine weeks. In503 so severe a frost occurred all overBritain that the rivers were frozen upfor two mouths. The Thames wasfrozen over for six weeks in 695, andbooths were erected upon it. In 763

'not only the Black Sea but the Straitsof the Dardanelles were frozen over.The snow in some places rose fifty feethigh, and the ice was so heaped in citiesas in some places to push down thewal'a. The Mediterranean was frozenover andpassable in carts in 860. TheThames was frozen for thirteen weeksin 923, and again for five weeks in 998.In 1063 the Thames was frozen forfourteen weeks. The Mediterraneanwas frozen over in 1234. and merchan-dise carried over in carts ; loadedwaggons crossed the Adriatic toVenice.The Danube was frozen to the bottom

lin 123G, and remained long in thatI state. There was a clear frost in No-| vember to March in 1334-5, and all the

rivers in Italy were frozen over. Inthe year 1408 there was one of thecoldest winters everremembered. Wotonly was the Danube frozen over, butwolves traversed the ice into Jutland.The successive winters of 1432, 1433,and 1434 were uncommonly severe ;all the rivers in Germany were frozen,and the Thames was frozen below thebridge to Gravesend in the winter of1433-4. In 1468 the winter was sosevere in Flanders that the wine dis-tributed to the soldiers was cat in pieceswith hatchets, and the same thinghappened in 1544, thewinebeing frozeninto solid lumps. In 1621 and 1622all the rivers in Europe were frozen,and even the Zuyder Zee. Charles X.of Sweden crossed the Little Belt overthe Zee from Hollandto Denmark withhis wholearmy, horse and foot, followedby the train of baggage and artillery.The winter of 1709 iscommonly knownas the ' Cold Winter.' All the riversand lakes were frozen, and even theseas to the distance of several milesfrom shore ; wheat rose inits price from£2 to £i a quarter, and in the southof France the olive plantations were al-most entirely destroyed. A fair washeld on the lee on the Thames in 1740,all the lakes in England were frozen,the frost, continuing for nine weeks.The Thames was crossed opposite tothe Customhouse in 1788, and thefrost was general throughout Europe.On December 25, 1796, the cold wassaid to be the most severe that hadbeen felt in the memory of man, and inLondon the thermometer registeredminus 6 degrees. In 1814 the frostwas very severe ; booths were erectedon the Thames, and a fair was held onthe frozen river ; the frost lasted fromDec. 26 to March 21, the mean tem-perature for the whole of January inthe neighborhood of London was 26-8degrees. In this frost it is said that20in. of snow fell at Plymouth in sixhours.

The winter of 1837-38 was note-worthy for its long frost, which wascontinuous in London for fifty days,and the thermometer registered 4 de-grees below zero, or 36 degrees belowthe .freezing point. The old RoyalExchange wa3 destroyed by fireduringthis frost, and it was freezing so hardthat when the fire brigade had ceasedplaying on one portion of the burningpile, the water in a short time becameicicles ofsuch large dimensions that theeffect was described as grand in the ex-treme. The frost of 1854-55, commonlyknown as the Crimean Winter, wasexceptionally severe. In London itlasted for forty-seven days, but thethermometer did not record a lowerreading than 11 degrees on the screen.The winter of 1860-61 was very severe,and at Greenwich the thermometer fellto 8 degrees, or 24 degrees belowfreezing point. The frost in Londonlasted for 36 days, and in many paitsof England the temperature registeredseveral degrees below zero. The winterof 1870-71 will be remembered especi-ally in connection with the closingscenes of the Franco-Prussian war ; itwas very severe over France, and itcaused loss and suffering to the armiesof both Germany and France. In1879 the fro3t at the close of the yearcontinued for 44 days, and it was dur-ing this winter that the reading towhich reference has already been madeoccurred, the temperature registeringminus 23 degrees at Blackadder. Thelast frost to be noticed was that of1890-91, which continued for 55 days,and was in many ways the most severefrost of the present century. The ther-mometer did not fall below 12 degreesat Greenwich, but it touched zero inmany parts of the kingdom. Thisfrost was, however, almost entirelylimited to England so far as theBritish Islands are concerned, theweather throughout the whole periodbeing much milder in Scotland andIreland. The frost, however, throughwhich we are now passing bids fair tocompare with any of recent years forits severity, although it is somewhattoo late in tho winter to be very pro-longed. In many parts of GreatBritain the thermometer has fallenbelow zero. There is clearly noperiodicity in the occurrence of greatfrosts, nor can science at present givoany satisfactory explanation of theirvisitation. The Gulf Stream and manysuch like theories are often started ; butthey add little to our knowledge. Itis, indeed, somewhat humiliating thatwe cannot foresee their occurrence evenby a few days.—English paper.

MODERN LADY NOVELISTS.The industry of lady novelists is

truly wonderful. In fact, when it is re-membered that nearly all the marriedwriters declare, when interviewed, thatthey not only bring up their children,but also personally superintend theirhomes, one is lost in amazement. MrsOliphant, who has written seventy-eight novels, recently told the writerthat there were at least half a dozenmore which for some reason or otherhad not been completed. EmmaMarshal runs Mrs Oliphant close withseventy-five. These ladies head thelist. Mrs Braddon stands third withfifty-four, whilst C. M. Yonge is notfar behind with fifty. How MissFlorence Marryat (Mrs Lean) has con-trived to bring up eight children, at-tend spiritual seances, do a deal ofcrlobe-trotting, and yet dispatch to herpublishers about fnurty-eighfc novels".s one oE those things which, as Lord 1Dundreary used, to say, ' .No f» j]lahjouldunderstand.' Emma J&ue Wor-

boise, it is true, has produced almostas many—forty-five ; but then her lifehas been characterized by a reposewhich it is given but few novelists toenjoy.

It was predicted at one time thatAnnie Thomas (Mrs Cudlip) woulddistance all competitors, but of lateyears she has fallen somewhat out ofthe running, her record being 40. Themorry Mrs Plungerford declares that,although she has been blessed with twomost loving husbands who constantlyclaimed her society, she has, by judici-ously mapping out her time, contrivedto rear whatshe calls, 'hosts ofchildren,'und at the same time appease the vora-city of her admirers by the occasionalnovel. ' I am so artful,' says this trulymerry lady, ' that I have managed tosneak into the world thirty-seven bant-lings of my brain, and hope to givebirth to many more." Emily Holt'sadmirers keep her hard at work. Nota quick worker, she has contrived toproduce thirty-six. Mrs Stannard isa lady not only frequently to bo seen attheatres and parties, but herself enter-tains so largely that it would be ratherinteresting if she would take the publicinto her confidence and inform us howshe lias found time to rear severalchildren, adit a most excellent paper,and turn out thirty-four novels. Why,Ouida, who has always been proud ofher industry, has only produced thirty-three, and she started writing twentyyears before the authoress of ' Booties'Baby.'

Although Elizabeth T. Mead (MrsToulmain bmith) did not commencewriting until 1877, thirty-two novelssince then have evolved from her busybrain. A married and a single lady,Mrs Alexander and Miss BethamKdwards, run a dead heat with twenty-seven works each. Before the end ofthe year, however, Mrs Alexander islikely to increase her output by one.Mrs Burnett, the authoress of ' LittleLord Fauntleroy,' is the mother of twoson3and twenty-two novels. Theworldis indebted for the twenty novels whichhave proceeded from the pen of RosaNbuchettoCarey to the lovinginsistenceof her widowed sister, who is an enthu-siastic admirer of her work. JeanMiddlemas is responsible for nineteenworks of fiction. A literary life is notcalculated as a rule to impart an in-creasing youthfulness to the appearance.The ease of Miss Helen Mathers (MrsReeves) is an exception.

When the present writer last saw thishandsome writer of eighteen novels shelooked under 30 ; as a fact she hasturned 40. Two ladies each claimseventeen works as their own, MrsLynn-Linton and Mrs Walford. Injustice to Mrs Linton it should be saidthat in addition to her novels, she hadwritten innumerable articles, besidesbeing a regular contributor to theSaturday Review. Miss Jessie Fother-gill claims fourteen novels, Edna Lyallten, Miss 'i hackeray (Mrs Ritchie),daughter of the great novelist, nine,and Olive Schreiner five. Mrs W. K.Clifford writes little, but, as a book-seller said, ' it lasts.' There is no othercountry in the world which can pro-duce such a record of female industrywith the pen as England.

FLIRTING.

Mr Andrew Lang, who discusses thet3thics oi flirtingin Longman's Magazine,wants Mr Herbert Spencer topropounda code of ethics for the direction ofyoung persons who find themselvesflirting. It is possible such a code isrequired. Flirtation in almost a neces-sary of human existence. Without it,courtship would be practically impos-sible. And without courtship, whatbecomes of marriage ? ' You cannot,'as Mr Lang remarks with" his usualacumen, 'say to a girl, when first youmeet her, ' Be mine !'—or not often.'The thing must begin with glances,soft words, lending books—in a word,with flirtation. But where ought flirt-ation to stop, and what is a man to doif ho finds that he is exciting the moreserious passion of love when he himselfis only frivolous ? A girl in like casecan snub a man, but it is brutal to snuba girl. 'So people blunder on, and itends in a marriage, or a scene, or some-thing dreadful.' If someone inauthoritycould only draft a set of workable rejgulations to deal with the matter, itwould doubtless be a benefit to mankind.

Here, anyway, is one man's view ofthe matter :—■' A mere eleventh com-mandment, ' Thou shalt not flirt,'would,' he says, 'be quite useless ;for it would be broken every day.Something more detailed is required.You may lend her a book, but youmust not send her sweetmeats ; youmay press her hand at parting, but thepressure must be merely momentary,and not lingering ; you may even kissher under the mistletoe, in the presenceof the family gathering, but not on thestairs, where only her small brother(and him 'unbeknown' to you) wit-nesses the operation—that is the sortof thing that is wanted. But, we re-peat, Mr Herbert Spencer is no goodhere. Mr Lang himself is the onlypossible legislator, for he is a man ofexperience, who has flirted with all theNine Muses,and married none of them.'

THE YELLOW RACE.

Admiral Benham fears that theAyran race will soon find what a mis-take they made in not, within the lastfifty years, letting the yellowrace alone.Let the China-Japanese quarrel end asit may, he is afraid that it wilt be tothe disadvantage of the whites .ofEurope—and possibly to America. IfJapan succeeds in all its designs, itwill be the Prussia of the far east, and.have control over an illimitableand in-dustrial population and a vast territory,the underground wealth of which hasscarcely been touched. If she does notsucceed to the full, she and China maygo on fighting intermittently fortwenty, thirty or forty year?, with theeffect of China organizing herself forattack as well as defence, and beingwedded' into a cohesive empire, thebiggest and strongest of. which theworldhas had any experience. • Sweden,under Charles XII, forced Russia tolearn the art of war, both for defenceand aggression. What seems mostlikely is a breakup of the Chinese Em-pire analogous to that of the RomanEmpire. But that, in this time ofsteam and of race agglomerations couldnot last long. The dividing into in-dependent provinces miglrt be expectedeither to lead to federation, to the driv-ing back of Japanese or Russians, orto the revival of empire under some ad-venturer of genius. The adventurermay be still at school or in his cradle.He may be a European, American,Asiatic, Chinese, Mongul or Japanese.Gordon showed that Chinese, well com-manded, can be led to victory.

The admiral looks the danger in theface unappalled. If we are to be madea mouthful of by the yellow race, itcannot be helped. They would not actas savages or barbarians ; woulJrespectour libraries and museums, attend our.university classes, and, by killing ourconceit, give us a clearer vision oftruth in all directions.

THE FAITHFUL SENTINEL.An incident in the late naval battle

off the River Yalu, which occurred onboard the Chinese warship ItsukushimaKan. The incident is related in aletterfrom a missionary out in the East.Far away o'er the seas of the morning,

'Cross the Gulf of the dark Pechili,Near the mouth of the swift-flowing

Yalu,A battle raged furiously.

In the heat of the terrible scrimmage,On board tho ItsukushimaKan,

They placed by the gunpowder doorwayA sentry, a brave-hearted man.

Boldly he stood there, and dauntless*This faithful and loyal marine ;

He stood like a motionless statueOn guard by the great magazine.

The ship wheeled about in the action,But wheeled about never did he,

Though the bullets rained thick as thehailstones

From Japanese light musketry.And war-clouds hung thick o'er the

waters,The cannons belched fire from their

throats ;While the lightnings flashed hither and

thither,And anon rained the musketry shots.

The small shot rained hard by the en-trance

Where undaunted the Chinamanstood.

With his body leaned back on thedoorway,

To save it as well as he could.Ah ! the bullets they entered his

body,With a bound his spirit was fied;

And the form then guarding the door-way,

With a face strangely troubled, wasdead !

But the hero achieved his purpose ;Not a shot banged the great maga-

zine;Though his body was riddled with

bullets,Yet he died like a noble marine.

Oh, ye who hold posts and positions,Of greater or lesser degree,

Be faithful till death like the heroWho thus died on the great Yellow

Sea.Titos S. S. Kilgour.

CARLYLE AS 'PROPHETICHUMORIST.'

Mr Lilly, in his last lecture on' English Humorists,' delivered at theRoyal Institute, on Feb. 7, dealt withThomas Carlyle—the humorist as pro-phet. He at once confessed that noEnglish thinker had helped him morethan Carlyle. He came under hisawakening influence at Cambridge;Carlyle's works set him thinking outthe problems of human life and destiny,and time had not dimmed the deep re-gard he felt for the great sage andteacher. The attacks that were madeon Carlyle's life and opinions shortlyafter his death represented mainly therevengeful resentment of the ' twenty-five millions, mostly fools,' but theywere none the less painful. Now thatthe howling: had died away we couldestimate the justice of these onslaughts.A number of private letters and writ-ings, which were never intended to bemade public, were eagerly seized uponas evidence that Carlyle was capableof pronouncing acrid and unjust judg-ments upon his contemporaries, and itwas sought to show that he had beenlacking in sympathy for the brilliantand high-minded woman whom it washis honor to call his wife. He (Mi-Lilly) declined to go into his lattercharge, but as to the former he pointedjut that they were all compassed bytlio statement that Carlyle was, afterall, only human, and, being human,was encompassed by the common in-firmities of humanity. CardinalNew-man had written of himself:—

lam aahnmed oi mystlf, of —y tears andray tonf<ue

Ho easily fretted, si often unstrung,Mad ot trifles to which a ohance moment

gives birth,Complaining of heaven, complaining of

earthThis was an accurate portrait of one

side of his character, and it.might wellhave been adopted by Carlyle himself,and by MrsCarlyle, too. Who amongstus could endure tho lurid glare ofpublicity turned upon all our unguarded,undisciplined, private thoughts andwords ? Would-it give a true accountof us ? Aud then there was themagni-

fying effect of print. A harmless wordin conversation, in a letter or-a diary,acquired quite a sinister significanceseen in the fierce light that beat upona book. There was no worse sign ofthe age than the present prurientcuriosity about the petty details of thelives of great men. He could conceiveof no more ignominious occupationthan that which ministered to this de-graded taste. But beyond all these itcould be pleaded for Carlyle that likeevery other great genius his characterwas dashed with melancholy. Hisearly environment might have con-tributed something to heighten this.A shade of sadness still hung over thepeasant life of Scotland. WhereverPuritanism had triumphed, the joy, theglory, and the bright sunshine of lifeseemed to have passed away from thelives of the people. But, on the otherhand, a severe stoical virtue flourished.Again, Carlyle through life had. been amartyr to dyspepsia. It might evenbe said that this was incidental to hisprophetic calling. Could we rapidlyconceive of a eupeptic prophet? Howwas it possible for a man who keenlyfelt the burden and misery of thisworld, who bore within and withoutthe signs of his lamentation andmourning, to keep a good digestion.It was the privilege of prophets to besometimes arbitrary, choleric and un-just. But those who knew Carlyleprivately knew him to be one of themost tender-hearted, generous, andself-sacricfiing of men. As regards hiswork, Carlyle could not be properlyregarded as an historian. His 'FrenchRevolution '. was not a history so muchas a series of lurid pictures by an artistof consummate power, bringing outthe true meaning and significance ofthat great event as no one else, everbrought it out. His ' Cromwell' was,properly speaking, the history of a soul—an admirable piece of autobiography,reflection, and connected narrative,bringing before us the subject with avividness seldom attained, if ever, inthat species of composition. ' Frederick1 the Great' was a comedy of humor?.The truth was that in Carlyle thehistorian was subordinated to the| humorist—defining humorist as anartist playfully giving us his intuitionof the world and human life. It wasperhaps, a grim kind of humor—theplayfulness of the lion and the bearbut playfulness was its essential note.He had nut the elegance and delicacyof Swift or Sterne ; but for broad,Hogarthian humor Carlyle had noequal whatever. Everything he depictedbe saw before him. and he left thingsequally clear and solid for his reader,as a prophet lie proceeded by intuitionand affirmation—the only true propheticmethod—pronouncing judgment andcondemnation, but seldom reasoning.Tame declared his mind to be the mostclairvoyant of the. age, and he wasright. Mr Lilly sketched the spiritualhistory of Carlyle, indicating by re-ference "to his writings, the transitionout of that valley of the shadow ofdeath—the Everlasting 'No'—to thatoE eternal brightness—the Everlasting

' Yea.' Although their Ethos wasquite different, Carlyle was undoubtedlyindebted to Goethe for that conceptionof the largeness of life which loomsthrough his pages. From the timethat Carlyle grasped Goethe's concep-tions he felt that he had a mission inthe world, and he began to teach andpreach with wonderful energy. Whatwas this faith that was in him, andwhich made such a wonderful power ?Froude called it Calvinism withouttheology. This was not accurateaccuracy was not one of Mr Froude'sgifts. Carlyle rejected most of theCalvinistic theology, hut retained twoessential verities which he foundobscured and neglected. The first ofthese verities seemed to him so self-evident that he could no more d.übtits reality than the fact of his ownexistence. It was that the Infiniterevealed itself in the living spirit. St.Augustine had put the principal con-cisely in hisphrase 'In ternum seternum'—the Eternal is within us. Carlyledeclared that if a man found nothinggood in his own soul he would findnothing but mere materialities in theworld outside. From this revelationfrom within he sought an explanationof the world without—stars, suns, moun-tains, and seas were but a vision ofHim who reigns. He once declared toTyndall, ' I should go distracted if I ,lidnot believe that Intellect is at the" heartof things.' He felt that a world inwhich he did not know of very truththat God does guide towards good andnut towards evil were unutterablywretched. Carlyle's second great veritywas the essential distinction betweenright and wrong, and the unqualifiedduty laid upon man to follow theright.He regarded human life as a period ofprobation, and herein lay the explana-tion of his too often misunderstooddoctrine of' might' and ' right. 1 Theman who believed that God wouldeventually allow that which was notright to triumph wasatheartanAtheist.This was not 'strange, new doctrine. 1

Thomas Aquinas taught it COO yearsago, but Carlyle saw that the worldhad forgotten theseessential truths. Herecalled to us that our one God waspractically 'Mammon'; our real heavenwas ' Success,' and our real hell 'notmaking money' ; that even if we be-lieved in the essential difference be-tween right and wrong, these ideashadbeen largely effaced by the views ofthe school of thought which representedvice and virtue, good and evil, justiceand injustice, as only so many mattersfor cunning calculation. Carlyle wasin fact, a prophet sent into the world'to proclaim afresh the essentials ofreligion and society which had beennearly overlooked. His teaching (MrLilly thought) was not altogether per-fect ;he rejected many things in hi3hereditary creed which hemightreason-ably have retained. But his unswervingloyalty to truth was such that he wouldnot go one step beyond* what he sawand knew of his own knowledge. Itwas from this proceeded his power.

A definition .-—What do you meanby collective Socialism? Why thesimplest thing in the world. Supposingwe go into a public-house and youstand me a drink. And then I standyou a drink—But if we are bothSocialists, who pays ? Oh, in thatcase, the publican does. Of course '' ' Don't lean so heavily on the downstrokes,' said the teacher during thewriting lesson. That was whatTommysaid also, only more emphatically, whenfiro minutes later, he was wriggling

over the master's knee.

SUBMARINE CABLES.There are now twelve transatlantic

cables connecting Europe with Canadaand the United States, and steps havebeen taken to lay a cable across thePacific from British Columbia to Aus-tralasia by way of the Fiji islands. Thecircle of the earth will then be com-pleted, but not so directly as would beby cable from America to Japan,

'I here are now 152,000miles of sub-marine cable, in round numbers, ofwhich 10 per cent have been suppliedby various governments and the rest byprivate enterprise. They connect intoone system over 2,000,000 miles ofland wires, ramifying in differentcountries. The cables have cost about£40,000,000 sterling, but the moneyhas been well spent, for tha benefits oftho telegraph are incalculable.

It controls the commerce of theworld, which has risen to nearly£4,000,000,000 sterling a year, ormore precisely £1,9-40,000,000 sterlingof exports and £1,7-0,000,000 sterlingof imports. It enables internationaldisputes to be settled without recourseto arms, as in 1881, when the British,cabinet was in direct communication-with the Boei: leaders of the Traoavaajj

It brings a war that has broken out toa speedy conclusion, and keeps the'public informed as to its hourly pro-gress, as in the case of Egypt, wherethe bombardment of Alexandria wasknown inLondon a few minutes afterthe first shot was fired, and telegramswere despatched from the battlefield ofSualciui, in the Eastern Soudan, whilethe fight was going on.

Above all, by putting the remotestparts of the world in contact with eachother, it tends to destroy barriers olisolation and prejudice, making anti-pathy give place to sympathy andhatred to lovingkindness.

KcH^ATn^H^SuNDERINCrMost people have read Macaulay's

famous review of Croker's ' Boswell,'H[ and have thanked their stars that theyH were not as that sinner. Yet it mayH be doubted (says the writer of a charm-Bj ing article in the Daily News) whetherBl Croker did sin more than any otherHI man. Croker knew what was right,HI but the more an author knows what isHI right, about a date, the more easilyHI doe 3 his wearied eye, in correctingB proofs, take it for granted that what heHI wrote has been correctly printed. ButHi Macaulay himself blundered with grace

and freedom. As to Mr Froude, itBBS were unkind to speak. In one or two

of his letters, on a historical' subject,published lately, we still find himturn-ing'Sir Thomas' into 'Sir Edward,'

advancing romantic statementswhich may be vouched for by legend,

are, we think, contradicted bySir Arthur Wardour com-

H!plained of the Antiquary's'pettifoggingmemory for names and dates.' Of MrFroude's memory Sir Arthur need not

Hj have complained. By blundering in aH| date, he made Queen Elizabeth seemH greatly guilty of the murder of AmyH Robsart. However, a learned con-H temporary historian has examined theH documents, and put an end to thisH| scandal about Queen Elizabeth.

of this ever occurred ! Michelet,we think, started the pleasing fable on

The affair in which LaB| Hire and Xaintrailles were taken isB commonly called ' The Battle of theBl Shepherd' (because the French wereBJ accompanied by an idiot shepherd boy),B snd it was fought months after theB Maid was burned at Rouen.

Meanwhile, M.Bl Wallon, the official historian of theBl Maid, avers, even in a late pictorialB edition of his useful work, that PothonBj de Xaintrailles was made prisoner whenB the Maid was taken. He was notBJ within many miles of the scene ! M.Bt Marius Sepet informs us, again, thatBj Jeanne left Vancouleurs for the war onH Feb. 23, 1429.

Among the very dearest of all Iblunders are two recently noticed bytho' Critic 'in an edition, annotated,of Mr Browning's poems.

The told Greek fable about the boaster who isaid that 'he knew Pirrcus very well,1 vmight have warned Mr Browning's teditor that a place, not a person, was 1the subject of reference. A Greek 1:artist is also passed off as a King of (Sparta, and we think that a false cquantity i 3 incidentally thrown in. tWhether or not this is so, Mr Brown- iiing's emotions, if he could have seen 1:thesenotes, maybe imagined. Another Isweet blunder was that of the editor of sa classic, who took an abbreviation of lia predecessor's to mean that a certain fireading was 'in all manuscripts,' and f;gaily said as much. Now the abbrevia- Itionmeant something perfectly different, tiOf making many blunders there is no tiend, and nothing can be more certain gthan that several must occur in this ac- pcount ofa few.
