THE MARQUIS D'ORVAULT. The Paris papers publish an account of an action now going on which must certainly find a place among future causes celebres. A cab-driver named Schumacker, sixty-three years of age, partially in firm, married to a woman who, though an invalid, helps him in his business, and, in particular, washes his cab, and occasionally grooms his horses, de mands from his daughter and son-in-law the means of subsistence. Cab-driving has of late been a losing trade with him ; which, as he is almost totally deaf, and in bad weather suffers great pain from the effects of accidents in which he has twice had a leg broken, is not astonishing. The daughter is ,the Marquise d'Orvault, and lives with her hus band, in an apartment of which the annual rent is 11,000 francs, and which is said to be magnificently furnished. The marquis has horses which the marchioness does not groom, and carriages of the latest make which she naturally does not wash down. When Catherine Schumacker married the marquis a year ago her fortune Consisted of up wards of a million francs in money and securi ties, besides 325,000 francs in jewellery and per sonal property of various kinds. She was then thirty-six years of age—less than half the age of her husband, who was eighty-three. If the daughter of the cab-driver was, at the time of her marriage, neither poor nor respectable, the marquis, at least, did not resemble her in one respect :he was decidedly poor. An annuity of 2,700 francs allowed him by his relations, and a pension of 2,500 francs from the Emperor, was all he had to live upon ; and he had luxurious tastes. Catherine Schumacker's fifty thousand pounds tempted him, and it no d ou bt s uited her very well to become the wife of a mar quis, eighty-three years of age. The bridegroom's life hi‘d already been an event ful one. The importance of his very ancient family is strikingly shown by the fact that during the reign of terror no less than twenty-two of its mem bers were guillotined. The present marquis escaped abroad, but, returning on the establishment of the empire, entered the French army as M. de Mau breuil, one of his numerous family names. He attained the rank of major, and gained the cross of the Legion of Honour, which, on entering Paris in 1814 with the staff of the allied Sovereigns, he tied to his horse's tail. The same day he further distinguished himself by helping to pass the rope round the neck of the statue of Napoleon on the column of the Place Vendome, when it had been decided that the fallen hero should be degraded in effigy. The marquis's hatred of the Bonaparte family now became so great that, finding the Queen of Westphalia, the wife of Jerome Bonaparte, was about to cross the forest of Fontainebleau on her way into exile, he attacked her and took from her all her jewellery, besides 84,000 francs in gold. For this feat of arms, however, he was brought to trial and was sentenced on the 16th of May, 1818, to five years' imprisonment. Escaping to England, where he lived for some years, he attracted no fur ther attention until, on.the 21st of January, 1827, he suddenly appeared in the Cathedral of St. Denis, where a service was being performed on the oc casion of the anniversary of Louis the Sixteenth's death. Seeing M. de Talleyrand among those pre sent he went up to him, and with a blow in the face knocked him down. This brought upon the marquis a penalty of five years' imprisonment, a fine of 500 francs, and ten years' police surveil lance. We may here observe that the story of the blow in the face administered to Talley rand has been told differently. The version given in the formal report of " Schumacker against Orvault" is no doubt the correct one ; and, admitting it to be so, the outrage committed by the Marquis d'Orvault (or Marquis de Maubreuil, as he was then called), in a place of worship and in presence of the King, could not, even by the most determined fire-eater, be looked upon as a mere challenge to fight a duel. It has been mentioned, however, as a proof of Talleyrand's imperturbable coolness and presence of mind, that on receiving this so-called " soufflet" which knocked him down, he rose with difficulty, and, still stunned by the blow, exclaimed, ";Quel terrible coup de poing !" " It will be remem bered," says the reviewer of Sir Henry Bulwer's " Historical Characters" in the last number of the Quarterly, after repeating the anecdote, " that a soufilet is a dishonouring insult, a coup de poing a mere act of brutality." All things considered, it may be said that " an act of brutality" was indeed committed ; and if people had not been determinefl to see esprit or finesse in every phrase that Talley rand uttered, his exclamation would have appeared perfectly natural. For the present we are without information as to whether the marquis, who lost twenty-two rela tions in the Reign of Terror ; who served in the Grand Army ; who afterwards tied tl-.e cros sof the Legion of Honour to his horse's tail, and Tilt a rope round the neck of Napoleon's statue ; who robbed Napoleon's sister-in-law and assaulted Talleyrand ; and who at this moment, oddly enough, enjoys a pension granted to him by the Napoleon now on the throne of France—will or will not be called upon to support the infirm parents of his rich wife. The case for the defence is said - to be that the father-in-law had some 40,000 francs, but that he gambled it away on the Bourse—a pro ceeding which shocks the delicate morality of the Marquis d'Orvault.—Pall Mall Gazette. 71HE GORLESTON LIFEBOAT RESCUER. An official report has just been made of the cir cumstances attending the collision of the fishing lugger James and Ellen with the Gorleston lifeboat Rescuer, an inquiry into which was held in the Town-hall, Great Yarmouth, towards the end of last month, before Mr. Henry llarris and Mr. James O'Dowd. The accident occurred on the 3d of De cember last, when the Gorleston lifeboat Rescuer put to sea, with a crew of 12 hands, with the object of rendering assistance to any vessel that might be in distress from the effects of the violent gale of the previous day. While cruising they observed a small vessel in the offing, which proved to be the longboat of an abandoned ship, the George Kendal, and con tained the crew of that ship, consisting of 21 per sons. The lifeboat took all on board except one man, who refused to leave the boat, and who was ultimately saved. They then placed two of the lifeboat's crew on board the longboat, took her in tow, and proceeded towards the harbour, on enter ing which a collision occurred, whereby no fewer than 23 lives were sacrificed. It appears that the navigable channel of the har bour is a little over 170 ft., and that shortly before the collision the lugger and the Rescuer were seen approaching the harbour nearly at right angles, the one from the N.E., the other from the S.E. At the same time the steam-tug Andrew Wodehouse, hav ing a dismasted brig in tow, was approaching the harbour from the southward. The lugger was run ning in with the wind free at N.N.E. on the star board quarter. The lifeboat was close hauled upon a wind on the starboard tack, and had just succeeded in weathering the steam-tug, but so closely that the longboat she had in tow struck her sponson boom. In fact, the steam-tug'stopped her engines, momen tarily fearing an accident. The lifeboat having cleared the steamer shot out across the harbour, and in the short space of one minute and a half came under the bows of the lugger, then running in before the wind and sea. The lugger, on the other hand, was under the direction of a pilot stationed on the South Pier, whose duty it is in bad weather to signal to an approaching vessel by waving his hand the course she is to steer. By the evidence of the pilot and also of the master of the lugger it would appear that she was as close over to the north shore as she could be steered with safety. Both vessels had the harbour open, and had a good look out been kept and the relative position of the lugger to the lifeboat ascer tained, it would have been the duty of the lifeboat to bear up. It is clear from the evidence that neither the helmsman of the lifeboat nor of the lugger saw each other's vessel, the attention of the former having been probably occupied by the boat he had in tow (the tow-rope of which he had just ordered to be slacked off, fearing danger to her from contact with the paddles of the steamer), and that of the latter by the pilot, whose signals he was watching, with a view to the safe conduct of his vessel into the harbour. When the collision oc curred the lifeboat turned over, bottom up, throw ing all the persons on board into the water, and the lugger shot rapidly up the harbour, passing be tween the stern of the lifeboat and the boat in tow. The lugger could, under the circumstances, render no assistance, so sudden was the casualty. Besides, the consternation on the part of those ou board was so great that they appear to have been bewildered. The sea was so heavy that their small boat would have been of no avail. The steam-tug, with laud able zeal, cast off the disabled vessel, and pre ceeded to the assistance of the people in the water. Several men clutched the ropes thrown over, but before they could be hauled ou board let go their hold through exhaustion and sank, only one man being saved by these means. The inquiry at Yarmouth was also ex ended to the circumstances attending a somewhat similai accident which occurred to the same lifeboat, the Rescuer, in January, 1866, when 12 lives were lost out of a crew of 16. On that occasion the boat put to sea in a gale of wind to render assistance to some vessel in distress. It was low water at the time. In crossing the bar, upon which a high sea was run ning, the boat took the ground, and, being under a heavy press of sail at the time, she capsized. This accident, like the more recent one, is not to be attributed to any defect in the construction of the boat, which might have happened to any other.life boat under similar circumstances. The Rescuer appears to be a powerful boat, 42 feet in length, five feet nine inches in breadth, and four feet in depth, provided with air tanks all round, both above and below the thwarts, and her buoyancy is further increased by a cork fender of large dimensions that entirely surrounds the boat. Water is used for ballast, which, having free ingress, is increased in bulk and weight in proportion to the im mersion. From her large size sails are chiefly used, oars being resorted to only when she is drop ping down the river, or for her guidance when ap proaching a wrecked vessel. Her crew in bad weather is usually 20 or 22 hands when proceeding to sea on salvage services. There appears to be no want of efficiency on the part of the crew by whom the boat has hitherto been manned, and though the service is entirely voluntary the report recommends no change, inasmuch as it would be impossible to rely on any permanent crew, many of whom might be at work as fishermen at the moment when the . aid of the lifeboat was repired. The inquiry fully bears out the following conclusions at which Mr. Harris has arrived : Firstly.—That the Rescuer is in all respects an efficient lifeboat, and adapted for the purposes for which she is intended, viz., for saving life and ren dering aisistance to vessels in distress, especially on this dangerous coast. Secondly.—That the accidents that have occurred to her on both occasions, in January, 1866, and in December, 1867, may be regarded as casualties which might have happened to any lifeboet of what ever construction. Thirdly.--It is imperative, in order to prevent the sad loss of life consequent on the recent and for mer disaster, that the crew should wear lifebelts when engaged on this dangerous service. With these they have been to a certain extent provided, but hitherto the crews of beachmen have evinced a strong prejudice against wearing them, asserting that they are too cumbersome, and also that they impede their motions in rowing. The latter objec tion is scarcely valid, seeing that rowing is seldom resorted to in boats of this description and size. Captain Ward, R.N., in his evidence, furnished some interesting statistics showing the value of life belts in case of accident. From 1849 to 1867, 200 persons wearing lifebelts have been either upset or washed overboaid from lifeboats, and of these only 12 lost their lives ; while out of 127 who failed to take this precaution no less than 100 perished. It is gratifying, therefore, to find that the fatal accidents to the Rescuer have awakened a great many to the necessity of wearing the belts, and that the witnesses who were examined at the inquiry declared their intention of never putting to am " PROCLAMATION. Mr. Char!eS Rae, in a letter to the editor of the Times, says : "In your review of Dr. Wane's work, The Story of the Captives,' you make some very pertinent remarks on the imprudence and im policy of questioning King Theodore's pi etensions to Royal descent. Still, as what you say does not fully account for that monarch's pertinacity in claiming to be the descendant of Menilek, son of Solomon, King of Israel, and the Queen of Sheba, I would atl you to allow me to explain that this is in fact the title by which Theodore wears the crown of Ethiopia. Dispute it, and he becomes Kassa, the kosso-seller's son, as formerly. " The proclamation made by him several years ago places this in the clearest light. I have already published it, but perhaps you may deem it worthy of reproduction in your columns, both for the pur pose of proving what I have stated above, and also of showing the great importance of a proper understanding of these recondite matters, known to so few. " The claim of the Sovereign of Ethiopia to be a descendant of Menilek is not at all ' a certain weak ness to glory in his supposed ancestors,' as Dr. Blanc imagines. It is a necessity, as the following examples will demonstrate. " Aikuna Amlak, in the beginkitig of. the 14th century, made out his pedigree, by fhictaa..ahowed , his descent from Delnaod, the last reigning Sove reign of the Imperial dynasty in the tenth century, which had been displaced by an intrusive line of Kings of the house of Zagye, whose lineal descen dant Waagshum Gobazye is at the present day, as I explained in the Times of July 5, 1867. Aikuna Amlak's accession to the throne was thus alleged to be the Restoration of the House of Solomon,' and this is accordingly accepted as an historical fact, notwithstanding that it has connected with it a gross anachronism, which was pointed out to me many years ago by Monsignor de Jacobis, otherwise Abuna Yakob. "In like manner, when Sahela Selasye, King of Shoa, was taken up by the English in 1841, and hoped with their assistance to acquire the sove reignty of the whole empire, he had a pedigree drawn up, showing his progenitor Negusye to have been a fugitive Prince of the Imperial house, like the ancestor of Aikuna Amlak. This I know, be cause I was in Shoa at the time. " The latest pretender to the throne of Ethiopia, 1 as a descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, is Signor Alessandro de' Marchesi Marzara - Bridgtower, whose mother's claim was countenanced by Monsignor de Jacobis, and who has himself ad dressed Lord Stanley on the subject, in a letter dated September 13, 1867, which is printed on page 178 of the Abyssinian Blue-book of the past session of Parliament. Signor Marzara's pedigree was com - municated to me several years ago by a Quaker friend of mine, when I found it to contain an achronisms not grosser or more absurd, perhaps, than that in the pedigree of Aikuna Amlak, but more patent, inasmuch as they relate to the 19th instead of the 14th century. " With these precedents before us, it will be per ceived that Theodore is not at all mad, as he is sup. posed to be, in insisting on his claim, and punish ing those who dare to call it in question. In doing so they are guilty of the crimen less majestatis of the Roman law, which is the groundwork of the law of Abyssinia. " The explanation now given will at the same time serve to corroborate the opinion expressed in my letter in the Times of the 4th inst., that the death of Abba Salama, the late Coptic Abuna, was not a natural one, but one caused by Theodore's determination to prevent a David from being anointed in the place of the Abyssinian Saul. Fie is now safe in this respect until the consecration of a new Abuna, who, in order to gain the confidence andseneration of the Abyssinians, should, not be brought in by a foreign invading - artny, - but must be` properly accredited by means of a 'native balderaM, I or introducer. " In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, one God. "The King of Kings, Theodore, created by the Trinity its servant, installed by it and made Prince, to his children given to him by God and to all the Franks (Europeans). "By your God and the God of your friend Theodore, who appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai and in the Red Sea, who appeared to Joshua at Jericho, who through hie servant Samuel anointed Saul when he was seeking the asses that were lost, who, when Saul turned from his Creator, com manded Samuel to anoint David. " Solomon was King after David, according to the word of the prophet and of his father, notwith standing that Adonias (Adoaijah), against the will of God, was proclaimed King by the people and obtained favour in their sight. Solomon, by the Queen of Azyeb (the south-east), begat Menilek, who became King of Ethiopia. From Menilek down to the dynasty of the Gallas, all the Kings were stageplayers (azmciri), who sought from God neither wisdom nor strength, but, with His help, the means of raising up the empire were found, when God chose me, His servant, to be King. tt My countrymen said, The river is dried up, its bed is empty,' and they insulted me because my mother was poor, and called me the son of a beggar. But the Turks knew the greatness of my father, who made them his tributaries as far as the frontiers of Egypt and to the gates of their cities. My father and my mother descended from David and from Solomon, and they are also of the seed of Abraham, the servant of God. " Now, those whoinsulted me with the name of a beggar's son are themselves beggars ; and beg for their daily bread. Without God's will neither wis dom nor power can save from ruin. Nevertheless, as God said unto Adam, In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread,' it is necessary not to fall into slothfulness. But it is needless for me to give you this advice ; for, as the proverb says, ' speak not of wisdom to the sage, neither cut the food of a lion.' " There is nothing powerful in the world. Many have had mortars and cannons in abundance, and nevertheless have succumbed. Napoleon had myriads of them, yet he died conquered, after hav ing subjugated tile Franks. Nicholas, Emperor of the Muscovites, possessed them in abundance, and he was vanquished by the French, the English, and the Turks, and died without having accomplished the desire of his heart. "If in your countries you meet with any parti sans of the brigand Negusye, who shall say, like the traitors of this country, that Ethiopia is governed by the son of a beggar, wager with them a field covered with gold that I, the present Em peror, am on the throne of my fathers, Abraham and David, and bring them here to be confronted with me. I t is God that bath put down the mighty from their seats, and hath exalted them of low degree.' " FALMOUTH, Monday.—The steamship Kaffraria, Starks, commander, arrived at this port from London on Sunday night, and, after embarking six passengers and 26 bags of mails, proceeded at about noon this day for the Capo of Good Hope. Among the passengers are the Bishop of Capetown and wife. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.- All our Facul tles.—Almost all disorders of the human body are dis tinctly to be traced to impure blood. The purification of that fluid is the first step towards health. Holloway's pills recommend themselves to the attention of all sufferers ; no injurious consequences can result from their use, no mis take can be made in their administration. In indigestion, confirmed dyspepsia, and chronic constipation, the most beneficial effects have been and always must be obtained from the wholesome power exerted by these purifying pills over the digestion. Persons whose lives were a con firmed series of sufferings have been restored to ease, strength, and perfect health by Holloway's pills after the fruitless trial of the whole pharmacopoeia of physic. NEW S PAP ER •e=?f , 4 7/e , 'ArA EMIT OF THE PUBLIC J'o iM4 tis the Tims tells us, must think it is plain er • that the governing classes bf India cannot and must obey against the grain. It is plain the cen dants of princes, of Mahomedan conquerors, of predatory chiefs of old renown, and of families reckoning back three thousand years or more, cannot but think the older the better rule. There always were those who loved adventure even to pillage, magnificence even to the wildest profu sion, luxury to unbounded license, and opportunities only possible under virtual anarchy. This is the passion not only of persons or of families, nor is it even limited to classes. The semi -barbarous, and, it must be added, the weak and foolish, everywhere love that which purchases brief enjoyment for a few at the cost of lasting misery for the many. Nor is this the whole truth. India can not afford under our rule the opportunities it once offered the ambitious, or even the native of political genius and brilliant powers. An iron rule and a dull routine may be the most conducive to the vulgar and uni versal good, but they leave little scope for the achieve ments and the displays in which some see the life of a nation. There must be suppressed fire, and dorznant rather than extinct volcanoes of feeling, under such a system. Then, if we are the most power:ulof all Indian conquerors and masters, if the wisest, if the most beneficent and dis interested, we are also entirely alien, dissimilar, and unsympathetic. Mahomedanism might almost be a caste in Indian estimation ; our religion cannot ever be this, if we practised it ever so consistently. In what we allow and what we disallow, we are alike odious to them. There is nothing to recommend us in their eyes but the demon stration of results. We bring order, peace, and plenty, and assure the natives that under our rule they are the most fortunate of subjects, fellow-workers, bondsmen, as the case may be. We give them more, indeed, for we give them a share in all we possess our selves. We give them that unbounded liberty of speech and that ready appeal to justice which are presumed in the very inquiry before us, and which cer tainly have receiveo le*- 1 -- c^me notable illustrations. It will be said, indeea, l Z.kt even these boons are not to the taste of the Hindoo ; that he loves the despot, that he prefers sudden vengeance to' deliberate justice, and that he worships not only the murderer, but even4he very ape - e ' 'strayers of the human mind. steea a ,pr f iiece, howeles'; ‘. z on his part will not unnerve theeleind 'of his 1 11 %00 rulers. We have offered to make any sacrifices to win his love and respect, but we shall still'be just with him, after our own dull, slow, and costly fashion. What is the only possible conclusion of this controversy, so long as it is left for us to sum up? It is that under existing circumstances we are the actual guardians of order, peace, justice, and all that constitutes prosperity in India. We of the pre sent generation find ourselves there. We did not put our selves there. The mighty trust is in our hands. Mean while, we have the satisfaction of knowing, what, indeed, is only too true, that it is for the good of India, not our own, or for any ascertainable advantage to ourselves that we hold her. According to the Slanda,rd, it is monstrous to pretend that we have no business in Afghanistan. Nature has made our business there, and we have accepted the dis pensation. It is said that we , ought to await any event within our line of defence, which is supposed to be the Indus. But, in the first place, the Indus is no line of de fence ; and, in the next, we are already on its other side. Our advanced post is the valley of Peshawur. All the military authorities concur in the opinion that our present position is by no means a strong one, and that in the event of a European army invading India from the north-west, we should be compelled to abandon it, or risk what would be a fatal defeat. The Afghan mountains, and not the Indus, are, in fact, our true frontier, and though it may be advisable to permit it to be occupied by the natives, it is surely the extreme of folly to neglect or to despise their friendship, and to permit them to form alliances elsewhere. The policy of absolute inaction, which is the policy we de sire to see amended, is; in the words of an accomplished and experienced officer, who has had peculiar opportuni ties of studying the question, " a selfish attempt to ignore the responsibilities of our high and powerful position in the East ; it is at the best but a poor and ignoble policy, and in reality its success is impossible." The Herald thinks it would be a great mistake to sup pose that because General Menabrea is still in power the vote which was designed to eject him has not had some mischievous results. It has sadly discredited the Italia' , Parliament, it has encouraged throughout Europe doubts as to the future of the Italian kingdom, and consequently as to the permanence of Italian unity ; it has injured the credit of. Italy, already so vastly shaken, and driven the price of Italian funds to so low a figure that no Financ Minister could now hope to raise a large sum of money, except at rates which even a South American Republic that had compromised half a dozen times with its creditors would not think of paying, whilst the value of the paper currency has continued to sink steadily, and the difficul• ties of that essential business of its withdrawal have been greatly intensified. It will take a long time to remedy the mischief that has been done by this ill-judged vote, and every real friend-of Italy will earnestly hope that the Chamber will not aggravate the danger by quarrelling with a situation that cannot for the present be altered, and a Ministry which, under the circumstances, is the only - - pesisible-one4---Who Ibal as mint look the facts in the - - face ; they cannot get Rome, let them cry for it as they will, but they may wreck the Italy they have got upon the rocks of insolvency and provisional jealousies and petti nesses, and they will do so too if they do not, deputies and ministers, at once set themselves to work and make a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, to get into safer waters. The Telegraph would have us bear in mind that in the present condition of the sister island and the consequent conspiracy, we suffer for the sins of our ancestors, who acted unjustly and harshly towards their fellow-citizens across the ocean and their fellow-citizens across the Irish Sea. These things are a second national debt, which we are now called upon to pay. We inherited a political estate encumbered with uncertain and ugly-looking claims, and we must make the best of it. We must take the situation as we find it, and endeavour so to act that we may_diminish the incumbrance, or at least not add to it by any new act of insult or of wrong. Meanwhile, the statesman who shall secure for us the cordial alliance of the American nation would confer upon us, upon the United States, and upon humanity a greater boon than the appeasement of twenty European disputes or the arrangement of twenty European questions. The politics of Paris, of Vienna, of Constantinople, and of Rome — seats of empires and powers that have already begun to decay—are the mere ephemera of diplomacy, compared with the relations between us and our great cousins across that Atlantic which science is shortening every day. And, when we study the balance of power, how can we find any greater way of preserving it than by adding to Eng land's strength the might which slumbers in the neglected Celt? Properly used, the Irish element of our empire might supply us with splendid implements for our Im perial needs. Are we to allow such faculties to rust or to be forged by our foes into daggers pointed at our hearts ? The Daily News, dealing with the first report of tho Clerkenwell Explosion Fud Relief Committee, says it contains many interesting facts ; but it does not find in it that which Mr. Disraeli and the public have been asking for—a statement, approximate of course, but positive, of the amount of money_required to enable the committee to complete its work. lip to the present time only £7,143 have been subscribed—a sum which neither duly expresses: the sympathy of the public with the sufferers, nor is adequate to the relief of their necessities. It fears that precious time is being wasted. The money already sub scribed will do little more than satisfy claims for immediate assistance, including the purchase of tools, working materials, and furniture for those who have lost home and the means of earning a livelihood. There remain to be dealt with more than 150 cases of personal injury, for all of which some compensation ought to be given, while for many a life pro vision more or less complete will have to be made. The proportion of female sufferers is unusually large, and all of them were dependent on their own exertions for a living: four of these have lost eyes ; others have been maimed or terribly shaken, and will never again be what they were. The revolting barbarity of the outrage comes out in strong colours in the report of Mrs. Bailey, who has given her attention to the maternity cases, and who reports no fewer than twenty-six instances in which injury has been done to mothers and their infants. We trust that the sub scription list will be raised to an amount equal to the exi gencies of the case before some new catastrophe comes to divide public attention with the consequences of the Clerkenwell explosion. a h s o Our friends the F renc h , w h o are always discovering new amusement o d f elights , and w a a fl re slns at home in the water, have jus' much at home upon all questions borrowed some fashionable excellent fun from Russia. The most jollity in Paris just now, observes the Morning Post, is enough to exhilarate one to think of it. The Skating Club have got up a night fête during the frosty weather in the Bois de Boulogne ; and all that is fair or joyous in Paris have flocked to see it. They do not run the risk of being drowned in the solemn stolid way that we do when we try to amuse ourselves in cold weather upon the water ; but they made themselves a shallow lake expressly to suit their purpose on the Madrid cricket ground. This was illuminated gaily by ten thousand jets of electrical light, many of them grouped in the form of garlands and bouquets, while innumerable Chinese lan terns were suspended to the branches of trees. The neighbourhood of the Swiss Chalet belonging to the club was paved with soft cocoa-nut matting, and every precau tion taken to defy the cold without and within. Then the sport began ; the ladies made themselves snug in pretty fur-lined sleighs, and were pushed about by cava liers u p on skates at such a pace as brought the roses into their cheeks and the sparkles into their eyes. Why can't we do some thing of this kind the next time it freezes in London, in stead of going shivering about at night like so many rheu matic ghosts 1 ) It would do us a vast deal of good, and be something quite new and jolly for the ladies. Let us try it ; it will be no end of a relief, after being boxed up in offices, banks, and counting-houses all day, to have a little healthful sport in the evening, instead of cramping our knees and straining our eye-sight in those modern " stocks," the stalls of ill-built theatres ; and sitting bolt upright, choked by white handkerchiefs, and silent as mutes for four hours at a time. We are already beginning to understand the Medicinal and curative power of well, chosen recreations in the open air ; all that it remains fez' us to do is to put Our tardily acquired knowledge now ali-d, then into Dractice. . ran ran. 7 an
