eneountered very heavy weather, and when eight days

washed rig men overboard, all of whom were loot. To

great was the discord when men of two nations shouted
willingness to have William as lt,ng that the Norman

Tau Fenian Brotherhood has never from the bco
ginning been a very compact or harmonious organnation,
and the newspopers inform as of another spilt in the
camp which has taken place lately. A long letter bas
appeared addremed by General F. F. Millen, late Fresh:
dent of the Fenian Military Council in Ireland, and late
Acting C.E.J.8.. "to the sincere members of the Fenian
Brothel hood at home and abroad," against the notorious
Heed Centre, James Stephens. General Millen, who is
' • Fenian of moven years' standing, and Professes entire
devotion to the muse, eomplains bitterly of Stephens's :
military Plan; or lie neglect of plans such as military
men of ability would approve. He animadverts on the
folly of fixing a time for a revolutionary rising, and the
utter hopelemness of any attempt go long no England is
free from other ceases of distraction. As for Stephens,
he charges him not ouly with ohetreeting the wins
conduct a the muse, and repelling mon of ability and
character from the enterprise, but with wanting the
money of the Brotherhood on his own selfish luxuries.
Ludy, he dors not believe that Stephens ever intends
: taking the field at all. He will direct others on the
I road to destruction, but will not himself marshal the
I way. General Millvn's sole crumb of comfort to the
brethren it home and abroad is that "England's difficulty
Iwill be Ireland's opportunity," sad, if it should be one
year or twenty, he advises them to wait for it—advice
which, as the Times says, shows him to be either a far
wiser or a far more honest man than his late superior,
James Stephens.

Tao WORLD'S PROORIS6 —We often hear of RIP led
arts of ancient civilisation. We are often called upon to
admire the splendid temples, the magnificent theatres,
the majestic monumental piles, the ezqusite statues,
and the xplendidly-cut gems of antiquity. These
external memorials have been left behind by the Greeks
and Romans, those colossal nations of early times. Of
their social condition. we know only what is gleaned
from their literature. We are aware that they bad
physicians, but are ignorant of their mode of treatment.
The few medical writers whose works have come down
to us, escm to have known nearly so mush as the modern
faculty; indeed, the latter appear to have relied upon
(Wen for the rudiments of their profession. We have
often wondered whether they possessed, at any time in
their history, suck medicines as have been given to our
4ge by the ealebrated Holloway. We conclude that
they had not. Who doubts that even though our
civilination should fail and the world should relapse into
• state of barbarism like that of the middle ages, the
name of Thomas Holloway would not still live in the
memory of the people? Such benefactors to the human
raoe are never forgotten, as by two inexpensive

guarantee for what we now state if we may judge to
the seems of the inventor. It is • common saying that
novelty is the order of the day, and that most things,
however useful, soon wear themselves out; has it been
so with Holloway or his medicinea? And why not?
bemuse we bear that nothing that ham yet been offered
to the public se • medicine which has been found to

DOUBLE /1011 DER AND SUICIDE AT Erosnerrow.—A
horrible tragedy took place at Lower Edmonton on
Wednesday morning. A ooachsmith, named William
Gudgeon, with his wife and flee children, lived in •
house opposite the Greet Eastern railway station. Era
Gudgeon had latterly been ill, and was in • despondiog
state of mind. On Tueschiv night the husband and
wife and their youngest child, a baby of six months,
occupied one bed, and three children slept in the same
room. About two o'clock on Wednesday morning,
Selina Oudgeoa, aged ten, was awoke by a quantity of
blood being "spurted" over her face. When she
opened her eyes she saw her mother kneeling upon the
dead body of her little brother, Timothy George
Gudgeon, who had been lyieg asleep slongeide of her
sister, Sarah Anne Gudgeon. The -little boy's throat
was cut in • fearful manner, and blood was gushing
from the wound. The mother looked very excited, and
mho held RD open razor oovered with blood in her right
hand. When she saw that she had awoke the girl
Senile. she leant over towards her, and caught bold of
her. The girl screamed, and • fearfol struggle then
ensued. Selina, for the purpose of protecting her
throat, caught hold of the bedstlothea, and held them
over it. She cried out, "Oh, mother, why do you not
put that rigor down? You have killed 'llinothy, and
now you want to murder us. Why do you want to cut our
throat." The girl then wriggled and sidled out of the
bed, ran through the doorway, and ruched down the
*tales, followed by her mother, who continued to hold
the open rasor in her band. When the girl reached the
bottom of the stairs she ran into the lower front room.
Her mother rushed peat her, and ran to the ()replace.
The little girl felt in the dark and found a match•box
lying on the table. St e struck a light, and then she
taw her mother, by the light of the match, cutting at
her threat, and the blood WWI Sowing from the wound.
The girl gave • loud PCIWILID, the light then it out.
and ahe heard her mother fall upon the floor. The girl
then ran upstairs, and found her father was in • sound
sleep. By his side ley the dead body of the little baby,
*ix month* old, with its throat eat from ear to ear.
Selina awoke her father, and told him what had
occurred. A general alarm was then made, and • doctor
Ind the police were fetched. The mother and two
children were quite dead. The girl Selina thinks her
mother was going to cut the throat of her sister Sarah
Anne, when she (Selina) awoke, and it seems likely
that had not the girl been 'roared, all in the house
would have been murdered. The family have very
respectable connections in the locality, sod the father of
the deceased. who Is • ooachemith, has a workshop of
his own. His wife was • very sober person.
