ARMING POLICEMEN WITH

REVOLVERS.

kgreeeably with a resolution adopted in quarter
sessions by the Essex county magistrates, the police
stationed in the neighbourhood of Romford, Epping,
and other parts of the county adjacent to London,
have been armed with revolvers for their protection
at night. A number of officers have already under-
gone a course of revolver practice at the Romford
butts. The resolution to arm the police with revol-
vers was adopted in consequence of the murder of
Inspect6l. Simmons at Romford by three armed
burglars, one of whom, named Lee, was hanged; a
second, named Dredge, was sentenced to a term of
imprisonment; whilst the third has, it is said, been
arrested in connection with the burglarly at Netherby

During service at Benhall Church, Saxmundham, on

grandfather was lying dead at the time, having died

ARCTIC SHEEP.

Lieutenant Greely, of the American Polar Expedi-
tion, delivered lately an address to an agricultural
society at Pittsfield, in Massachusetts, in which he
mentioned that during his Arctio exploration he had
passed through a district in which there were nume-
rous wild sheep havina large heads, great horns like
oxen; and tails resembling those of horses. Their
fleece was of the finest and thickest wool, almost sur-
passing that of the merino. He observed that in New
England there were often complaints of the difficulty
of saving the lives of delicate beasts during a severe
winter; and he was of opinion that it would be well
worth while to make an experiment in acclimatization
with these Polar sheep, whieh thrive in a region
where there is no shelter for them against the rigour
of the Arctic winter.

PARISIAN "TASTE."

The latest addition to the brasseries of Paris, against
which a protest is entered from time to time on
account of what goes on in them, bids fair, when it is
opened, to be a very scandalous exhibition, and one,
we should imagine, the authorities, who have pro..
hibit,ed the production of " Germinal " on the stage,
on account of its realistic tendencies, would scarcely
tolerate. The "Taverna du Bagne" (in which
waiters are dressed in the garb of convicts, and the
ordinary life of convicts at Noum6a is presented
to the public) having proved a great success,
so u% enterprising persons have gone a step
further in the same direction, and announce the
forthcoming opening of a brasserie called the
" Abbaye de Theleme." The attraction at this
establishment will be the waiters and waitresses, who
are to be dressed as monks and nuns. This in itself
is, we think, hardly permissible, and would shock
English notions of propriety. But further entertain-
ment is promised for the Freethinker or the scoffer
at religion whose tastes are catered for. The women,
disguised as Sisters of Mercy, are, besides serving out
beer to the customers, to sing improper songs and
dance objectionable dances. It will certainly appear
to most people that, out of regard for common
decency—not to mention the respect due to religion
—this sort of exhibition ought not to be permitted.
Sisters of Charity and monks have surely as much
right to be protected from insult as other citizens of
the Republic.

THE RUSSIAN FLEET.

A new belted cruiser, called the Admiral Nakbi-
moff, was successfully launched on Monday from the
yard of the Baltic works, at St. Petersburg, in the
presence of the Emperor and Empress, who after-
wards assisted at the consecration of the new fast
torpedo boat just laid down at the same works. The
Admiral Nakhimoff is 333 feet long, 7781 tonnage,
with engines of 8000 horse power, covered with
armour plates eight to ten inches thick, and armed
with eight nine inch and ton six-inch rifled guns.
Considerable activity is being displayed in the
Russian Navy yards just now. An ironclak of the
Irnperieuee type is to 'ae commenced at once on the
slip just vacated. At the French Company's works
opposite an ironclad of 7572 tons, 7500 horse-power,
is also ordered; while at Nicholaieff some torpedo
cruisers are to be delivered in 1887, of 595 tons,
measuring 215 feet by 24 feet, with an estimated
speed of 20 knots. Besides these, two cruisers and
five torpedo boats are to be built in Russia, and two
gunboats and eight torpedo boats abroad. Three
large ironclads are also approaching completion in
the Black Sea.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A

WILL.

In the Probate Division the other day, before the
Right Hon. the President, the case of "Abbott and
Bearman v. Willstead,' which had reference to the
testamentary disposition of the late Mrs. Amelia Her-
rington, a widow lady, who died at Greenwich on
March 15 last, came on for hearing. The plantiffs,
sister and nephew of the testatrix, propounded the
draft will of the deceased, which was alleged to have
been executed on May 21 last year. Probate was op-
posed by the defendant, another sister of the testa-
trix, on the usual grounds. Mr. Witt appeared fur
the plaintiffs, and Mr. Crispe for the defendants.
It appeared that the deceased had resided with the
plaintiff for about 14 years previous to her death After
she executed the will in question she gave it to her
nephew, who placed it in a box in his room, the box
being secured by three patent locks. After the
funeral a search was made for the will, but it could
not be found, consequently the draft was now pro-
pounded. In the course of the evidence of the nephew
he stated that be saw the will duly executed. No
ono had had access to the box but himself. After the
funeral, when he went to fetch the will, he found it
had gone, and a piece of waste paper put in its place.
No one could have procured the keys except when he
was asleep. Evidence was also given as to the mental
capacity of the deceased at the time she executed the
will in question. For the defence Mrs. Sarah Ann
Willstead, the defendant, was called. She stated
that she was the sister of the deceased, and lived with
her for a number of years. The deceased always
stated that she would have half of her property, and
was always on good terms with her, Testimony was
also adduced to the effect that the deceased was
irrational in her speech, and was not mentally com-
petent to make a will. In the result the learned
judge found for the plaintiffs, and pronounced for
the contents of the draft will, with costs out of the
estate.

A genius has invented steel knives which will
cut cold iron. Now boarding-house beefsteak must
yield.
We must not in these days of modern artillery turn
out our boys to the battle of life equipper' only with
the sword and shield of the ancient gladiator. They
must have a full modern equipment; and in that
equipment knowledge of the physical world in which
they are placed, and of the forces by the control of
which nature is made to yield her wealth to man must
take an important, if not a foremost, place.—Profeseor
