A WiLreuras TRAGEDT.—Mr. Awdry, in a paper in
gives on the authority of Aubrey„ the following story
of Sir John Danvers and his lady, and the means by
which they became possessed of Dauntaey :—" In about
1400-1500 • robbery was committed at the Manor.house
on the family of the Stradlings Sir Edward Stradling
and all his servants, eacept one ploughboy who hid
himself in an oven, were murdered ; by which this
whole estate came to Anne hi. sister ; and that heir
married afterwards to Sir John Danvers, a handsome
gentleman, who clapped up • match with her before she
heard the news, he by good fortune lighting upon the
messenger. Ste lived at that time in Paternester.row
in London, and bad but an ordinary portion. This
robbery was done on Saurday night ; the neat day the
neighbours wondered none of the family came to
churob ; they went to see what was the matter; and
the pareon of the parish very gravely went along with
them, who by the bye was proved to be one of the
company of the robbers, and was hanged for his pains."
THE EPIDEMIC OF SC/ARIAT FEVER AT M•IILBOROUGH
COL, 501. -The recent outbreak of scarlatina at Marl-
borough College has been made the occasion by the
Lariat for commencing • series of reports on the
sanitary ciondition of our public schools. In cowmenc.
ing with Marlborough, the Lani-t has no reason to
believe that the condition of the college is either better
or worse than other schools conduoted on aslmilar plan,
and 'repudiates the intention of creating prejudice
against the wheel. The situation of the college is
described as being somewhat too near the river. the
air ie alms) and bracing, and the cold severe. Delicate
boys, if able to resist its coldness, derive great benefit
from prolonged residence ; indeed, with sufficient
artificial warmth and clothing, there in probably no
healthier site in Ragland. There are no low fevers, no
ague, and epidemical have invariable been traced to the
indroduotrition of infection from without. If further
proof were wanting of the general salubrity of the
school, it is the fact that, excluding epidemic years, the
av, rage number of bows away from classes on sationnt
of even the most tutting illnesses does not amount to 3
per cent. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that, when
once introduced, infectious diseases have frequently
spread with great rapidity. During the last twenty
years there have been four epidemics of measles and
seven of scarlet fever. The Lancet recommends that
the number of resident boys should be redueed by 70
or 80 (there are now 527, of whom 436 are &at0m-
...e1....a .k.• 66. •hnold be
everywhere improved; and that more artificial warmth
should be providet. And seeing that the cleanly habits
and general health of the boys tend to obscure the
ezi.tence of sanitary evils, it is recommended that the
sanitary arrangements should be inspected from time to
time by an independent authority, just as the educa-
tional invariably arc.

THE Pazaisa.—A London correspoudent write. :
"I watched Mr. Gladstone closely when his Chancellor
was expounding his heresies about direst and indirect
taxation, and he affected to be very busy writing. By
the way, the Premier bu been seized with a remark
able fit of literary activity lately. He writes,•
writes' away night after night—be must have revered
reams by this time—and nobody knows whether it is •

piqued by the keen interest evinced in the appearaeoe
of Mr. Disraeli's novel, to commence a new merles of
artieles for "Good Words," or fresh Homeric specula. ,

BOYS' CoeTtraz. —Two novelties of this season are
about to be illustrated by a plate in the fortheoming
number of • well-known Journal of Fashion, celled Le
Bean. Monde, under the immediate patronage of H.R.H.
the Princess of Wales, published in Paris and Loudon.
They are to be called the Albert Victor, and the Ernest
Albert. Specimens of these °oatmeal are at present
only to be seen by the general trade, on presentation of
business cards, they will through them be exSibited to
the publio. The two costumes form an improvement
on knickerbockers, originating with this firm, and (as a
boy's area) was highly praised by the late Mr. Thackery
in the Corals ill Afnfpuinc. These two new costumes
are registered under the Designs Act, they afford great
freedom of action to children when at play, the material
is woollen and durable, and together with its trimming
or braid will wash without requiring to be remade, and
thus the original pleating appearanoe may be renewed
till the dress is finally worn out. A boy's outfit from
three years to five years of age, with belt and satchel,
made to contain either • waterproof cape or hand'
kerchief, can be obtained at a very moderate price.
For youths from five to eight years of age, the Albert
Victor style has trousers completely ooveruig the stoek•
ing, while the knickerbocker style showing the leg is
used in the Ernest Albert costume, and Will DO doubt
generally form the first dress on leaving the nurser,.
The invention is introduced by the firm through whom
the rug palistot and other fashionable and useful articles
of clothing have hitherto been sold wholesale,
