WANIII:4Ii TO IlAktl" A 1/YlN‘i MAN.-111 a letter to a
medical journal, one of the house surgeons at :iity's
hospital. London. relates the following incident A
well dreamed and laily.fike female, with a strong French
anent, asked to see me. and requnited that the interview
might he a private one, as the subject upon which she
wished to speak was, to use her own words, 'a delicate'
one. A young woman, a relative or friend of hew, was
entitled to inherit some property if marrieil. but. being
single, there was • prospect of her toeing it.. As no
suitable litaband seemed likely to appear, she wits
desirous of finding some 'dying' man, of what position it
mattered not, to whom she mizht be formally married
and so obtain the property ; while at the same time the
link might be • slender one, and soon broken. This they
had not been able to manage in France, where she lived,
and they had aoconlingle sent or rto a London hospital,
where they hoped for succeas. I was requested to find
such a dying man suitable for the object.. If he were •
widower and had children, they would make some
provision for the children. I need not dwell upon the
answer given to such a request. It would he curious to
know if the lame attempt has been made at other London

Wan CORRKSPONIIENTS.—The Kellen of war have a
brutalising effect even upon non-combatants, as may be
seen in the style of the letters of the war correspondents
of the pre.a. It is true that they have to cater for
readers the iosjority of whom are not generous or refined
in taste, but for the honour of the literary profession we
wish that the editors at home would exercise some judg-
ment and good feeling in what they publish from thew
"gent emen of the press." Many of us remember the
jaunty way in which military corriumundents In India
wrote about " potting the Pandits' and " looting '
natives who had taken no personal part in the rebellion.
We are sorry to find the sinus style adopted in thu
African letters. Thu correspondent ofi the Daily Nees
thus wrote just before the battle of Ulundi :—"Butler is
scarcely the man to commit any default in any enterpti.o
which experience proves to lie so eminently congenial to
his nature. Reaching the bed of the White Univoliwi
on the tirst evening, by daylight on the second morning
he engaged in the annexation of cattle. The people in
charge of these wale • feeble resistance, and were not
warrriors, last policy denianded that • certain number of
them should die for the sake of creating an iinpriasion,
and about a dozen of them fell under the tire of Buller',
men. Koine three hundred cattle were captured, also a
man and a number of women " Unarniod peasants

A HELIC CIE DRAGON-W(110411r IN FILANCIL —The cere-
mony .of I,a Tarasque is a religious one of great
solemnity. lo Tnnisque is a huge dragon, about 17 ft.
long, which is pursued through the streets of the town
of Tern:con by a large leafy of clergy, richly attired,
and chanting solemn -litanies, the foremost in the pro-
careen wearing scarlet and lace, and the rexneirslcr
being in deep mourning and lace_ High mass is cek -
