others interested in that trade at Sheffield held a meeting on

The Daily News of Tuesday published a list showing
the votes of the members of the present Parliament in
thirty•five of the principal divisions in the House of Com-
mons, beginning with May, 1874, and ending with July,
1879. The fluctuation. in the Ministerial majority upon the
various questions which have occupied the attention of the
Legislature during the six sessions, are dealt with in a
separate article.

Those who complain of the recent hard weather may
console themselves with the thought that we are not likely
to suffer from such a snowfall Its that recorded in Cashmere
two years ago. Snow began in October, 1877, and continued
almost without intermission until May, 1878, the average
depth of snow being estimated at thirty to forty feet, whole
villages being crushed, hills and forests swept away by the
ivalanches, and animals dying in enormous numbets.

- For the first time within living memory, there was
not a charge at the City Police-court at Oxford on Tuesday,
and the Mayor, Mr. John Galpin, was, according to ancient
custom, presented with a pair of gloves to commemorate the
unusual event.

Luther's wedding ring, it appears (says the Paris
Correspondent of The Times) in on exhibition at the
jewellers, Herr Rothe, at Dusseldorf. The ring, which
bears the inscription, "Dr. Martino Lather° Catherina von
Bore, 13 June, 1525," is a work ot considerable art. On it Is
represented the Passion of Our Lord, the cross and the body
of Jesus forming the middle, surrounded by all the chief
tools of the carpenter's craft, a small ruby sparkling recalling
the holy blood.

The Sandwich Islands are being overrun by Chinese,
who now constitute over a fifth of the whole population.
They do not assimilate with the natives, and indeed threaten
to entirely supplant the islanders unless the immigration is
speedily stopped, so the Government is trying to get the
needed labour supply from the South Sea Islands. As, how-
ever, the Celestials are highly useful on the sugar estates,
the planters are only too willing to employ cheap Chinese
labour.

A railway accident has occurred near Allessandria
through the fracture of a wheel owing to the frost. Three
carriages and the postal van were left behind by the rest of
the train; three passengers and two officials occupying the
carriage where the wheel broke were slightly injured, and
the shock broke a petroleum lamp in the postal van, nearly
all the contents of which were burnt. There were 450
registered letters destroyed, many of them containing Italian
and Turkish bonds, and the Post Office is not llaDle, the
accident being beyond control. The three officials in charge
of the van had a narrow escape.

The Inventors' Record contains particulars of a re-
markable invention called "captive daylight." A chemist,
Mr. Balmain, has succeeded in forming a luminous paint,
which absorbs light, and daring darkness will suffice to light
an apartment. An experiment is being made with a view
to its adoption for the lighting of compartments on board
ironclads.

With reference to the crops in Egypt the Daily
Telegraph has been favoured with the following extract from
a letter written by a leading merchant in Cairo under date
of 6th inst:—" The cotton crop (cotton and cotton seed) is
confidently stated to be worth ten millions sterling this
season, not a ifenny less. The sugar crop is very fine, and
the rice crop has been splendid. The wheat crop for next
year, it is prophesied, will be even better than the last."
The remains of the late Captain the Hon. E.
Verney Wyatt-Edgell, who fell at Ulundi, were privately

fantry, who died in 1868.
A conference of farmers' unions has been held at
Melbourne, at which it was resolved to demand, among
other things, the removal of the duties on agricultural
implements and machinery. A deputation accordingly
waited on the Goveynment, but received an unfavourable
reply. The Melbourne Argus says that the farmers are
greatly dissatisfied, and that the movement is proceeding
more energetically than ever, several fresh branches of the
union having since been formed.

A "Bank Cashier" writes to a daily contemporary:
—.. Will you allow me to point out the desirability of all
banks retaining the worn-out silver they receive from their
customers, and sending the same to London, for which they
can obtain lull value. The branch bank to which I belong
sends about £3OO annually, and I think if others would
follow the example the worn-out stuff would very soon be
non est.

Daring the very dense fog on the Mersey last Battu,
day morning, about nine o'cl,ock, Mr. Dawson, a middle-
aged gentlemen resident at Egremont, but in business at
Liverpool, was trying to lamp on the ferry steamer Daisy as
it was leaving Seacombe stage, when he fell into the water,
his head striking the sponson. lie was at once lost to sight,
but a boat's mew pulled after him and got him out of the
water. A doctor, however, pronounced him dead.

The Paris Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says :—" The tremendous risk with which the mannfecture
of dynamite is attended has again been exemplified by a
fearful explosion in a factory near Honfleur. Whilst
attempting to clear the workshop of the men, the chief
engineer, who foresaw the disaster, lost his life. The
damage extended to a distance of nearly three miles.

The death is announced of M. Claude Etienne
MAO, the Inventor of the carbine known by that name. He
was born In Paris in 1804. He entered the army as a privato,
but rose to the captaincy of a company of chasseurs d pied.
It was then that he conceived the Idea of improving the
weapon used by this corps d'elite. He refused to make
money out ofihis inventions by patenting them, or to quit
France for superior service In Russia. He was in 1849 ap-
pointed instructor in firing at the Ecole Normale, at
Vincennes, and retired from active life in B58;1 but he had
all along been occupying himself with the improvement of
firearms, and his last achievement, a rifle lighter than the
chassepOt, and carrying 1,000 mitres further, was exhibited
at the Universal Exhibition last year.—Paris correspondent
of The Times.

John Calcraft, who for forty•eix years acted as
hangman at the London Goal of Newgate and most of the
prisons throughout the country, died on Saturday at his
residence in Horton, at the age of 79. He resigned his
office in 1874 on account of advanced age, but the Corpora-
tion of the City of London continued his standing salary of a
guinea a week up to the time of his death. Calcraft was
vary retired In his manner and habits, and he was very much
averse to giving any information with regard to the number
of criminals who had passed through his hands during his
long service.

in London last week. Allowing for increase of population,
the births were 21 below, whereas the deaths exceeded by
322, the average numbers in the corresponding week of the
last ten years. The annual death-rate from all causer,
which had steadily increased in the six preceding weeks
from 21•6 to 27-2 further rose to 30-7, a higher rate than has
prevailed in any week since the 61st of 1878, when it was
311. During the past eleven weeks of that current quarter the
death•rate has averaged 235 per 1,000, against 21 7 and
2271 n the corresponding periods of 1877 and 1878.

day, brought from the turret of the Thunderer, have left it
none the worse for the severe ordeal. The air apace between
the projectile and the cartridge was gradually increased

within two feet of the muzzle. Further operations have been
postponed for about a formight.

semble and be holden for the despatch of divers urgent and
important affairs."
One day last week four special trains were despatehed
from Aberdeen for London, containing cattle for the Christ.
mas markets. The consignments consisted of 1,200 head of
cattle, the total value being estimated at £38,000. Although
the value of the cattle seems large, it is 25 per cent, under
that of the three preceding years, and the falling-off is
attributed to the depression which has for some time over-
whelmed agricultural pursuits. Other special trains were
to follow.

The Moscow Gazette has an article on Mr. Glad.
stone's electioneering tour anu speeches. It ridicules his
notion that, had the Liberals been in power during the
Russo-Turkish war, the Eastern Christians would have been
alienated from Russia. It approves of his demand that the
Balkan nationalities should be developed into independent
States.
A. very serious dynamite explosion has occurred in
the salt mines near Hall, Wurtemberg, when twelve miners
were killed and eight very seriously injured. The miners,
in their excitement, forgot that the door leading out of the
mine opened from the inside, and endeavoured to force
their way through, thus preventing those who were coming
to their assistance from outside from opening the door until
the miners fell down unconscious and severely burned by
the explosion.

The shipments of wheat from America during the
past week were very moderate in amount, the total being
only 188,030 quarters, of which 133,000 quarters were for

but, on the other hand, the export of flour was large, reach-
ing to 116,000 sacks for the United Kingdom Of maize
170,000 quarters were shipped, of which 126,000 quarters
were for the United Kingdom The visible supply of wheat
in the States•has declined to 27,750,000 bushels, and of maize
to 10,376,000 bushels.
The Paris Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
writing on Tuesday, says:— The snow, which has for a
ntunber of days blockaded the streets of Paris, has given a
stimulus to local ingenuity, and yesterday witnessed the
trial of a system for melting the snow by means of a port-
able engine. A copper pipe is put through a snow-heap, and
a Jet of steam sent down it, This, combined with the
action of the hot water which the condensation produces,
completely thaws the snow, which is then pushed into the
gutter. Although by this process 401 b. of coal will melt
more than a ton of snow, the municipal authorities have de-
cided that the old plan of removing it in carts in more expe-
dition.% ami economical,
