WHAT Ti WORLD was.
It is the intention of the Empress Enginde on to
time her visit to Zululand that she may be on the spot
where her son met his death on the anniversary of that
sad event, the 14 day of June. Lieutenant Carey
will not be detailed as the escort of the illustrious
lady in that sad pilgrirnimi.e. I understand that this
sombre duty will be devolved upon Sir Evelyn Wood,
for whom pour Prince Louis had conceived a
regard during the lattor's short career in ZulufZlt
..
Apart from his, however, Sir Evelyn labours tinder
certain diaadvantages in acting as cicerone to the
Empress, since he was not present at the discovery of ,
the paw Prince's body, nor, in fact, did he see the
Prince alive or dead after the latter left the Kambula
camp before the invasion march began.

The following is a brief epitome of the twe dresses
worn by Madame Judie in the new comedy, La
Female a Papa, the SUCC4OII of which was, to a consider-
able extent, determined the other day in Paris by her
acting: I Blue-satin dress, with apron of lace and
satin flowere over a petticoat entirely covered with
natural mimosas and fuchsias; Plain bodice female-
te satin cloak with coloured bouts and marabout
chenille. 2. Plain dress of pink Sicilienne with quilting of
lace ; oti-fashioned silk bodice with coloured beads.
Both dresses elicited such enthusiastic applause from
the audience that dramatic critics in Paris have, for
the hot few day., imparted hardly any other informa-
tion to their readers respecting the play. As lam on
the eubiect of Christmas dresses, I will add a few
skating costumes observed on the lake at the Ibis de
Boulogne: I. A yellow-gold dress with black braid;
2. a blue polonaise with sable trimmings 3. a chest-
nut-cloth overall with gold braid. In all cases, muff,
bonnet, boots, and gloves to suit.

I am told that the Prince ha. been complaining of
the quality of the turtle served to the Royal table ; and
that his purveyor* in the City, di.covering that the
fault lay with the waitera, now forward the soup in
pealed can% like onr infants' milk, labelled not
"Nursery," but "Royal."

There has been—either sea branch of the excellent
establishment, or ae a separate institution—under one
form 111. another, • torpedo-mhool at Portsmouth for
eleven years. It says a great deal for the care with
which it has been conducted, that, notwithstanding
the danger ~us nature of the materials constantly being
handled, the late sad accident to a boat's crew of the
Vernon is only the second fatal one that has occurred.

The journey of the Empress Eugenie from Madrid
to Chislehtirst must have tried her strength. Her
Majesty started from Madrid on Sunday, December?,
by the ordinary 4.15 express. As the line is single,
she had to stop for three-quarters of an hour, in a
siding, at the find station, in order to wait for the
return of the 'pedal train which had conveyed the
Archduchesses to the Escurial in the morning. At
Valladolid the express was two hours behind time;
I and, a little further on, at three in the morning, in the
centre of the plateau id Did Caatile, it came to a
standstill, and the pamengera were informed that a
goods train was off the line ahead, and that they were
to set out and walk three-quartem of a mile in order to
exchange carriages with the down train for France,
which, luckily, had just arrived at the other side of
the accident. So the Empress' and Mdlle. de Lerusinat
hail to face the freezing wind and scramble over ice
and stones in the dark for twenty minutes. The
special envoys to the Royal marriage from Bavaria,
Creece, and Japan were in the train, and made the
change a. best they could : but the Chinese mission,
which also formed part id the convoy, absolutely
refused to move, and was consequently carried back to
Madrid. Miranda was reached at 10.30 in the morn-
ing, five hours Lets; and there it was discovered that
the two luggage-vans were on firs; eo they had to be
emptied and replaced, another hour being lost in the
proems.. Finally, the Empress arrived at Chislehurst
on Wednesday morning, after three night. in the
Mow.

It ie to be hoped that the proposal to give the
Chairman of the Lornkm School Board a large salary
out .4 the rates will be firmly resisted. If this were
once conceded, the grant of • salary to every member
of the lioaol would only be a question of tune. The
salary paid to the Chairman of the Board of Works is
quoted as a precedent; but members of the School
Board have no more right to be paid than Boards of
i;uardiaus, Magistrates, Visiting Committees t Gaols
and Lunatic Asylums, and the like, who all do their
work well without any claim for payment.

When a man volunteers for service in a disagreeable
war like that in Zululand and is attached to a strange
regiment, there is no earthly renown why he should at
once become " nobody's child," and get all the kicks
without any share of the halfpence. Lieut. Amyatt-
Burney of the Royal Dragoons joined the K.D.G.'•
during our late war. He went king-hunting with
Major Mader, and got first inside the Royal fug tive's
kraal. Mark now the system known an "division of
labour." Burney found and seised Cwt., wayn's &mega's ;
Sir Garnet annexed then'; Lord Gifford carried them
home to Windsor ; the queen immerses them; and
Amysta-Burnay ham rejoined the Royal Dragoons.

There are few things more bewildering to • traveller
in Scotland than the number of churches and the
marked difference in the sects. Icing in Edinburgh
the other week, I went A round of churches, and was
towards the close of the Sabbath in a state approach-
ing to coma, the result of intense mental effort to
master the distinction between the Free Church and
the Established Church, the tr.P.* the R.I.P.* and
the split P.* One broad distinction I established was
that in one sect (I forget which) you stand up to sing,
and remain waited to pray ; whilst in another (I am
not sure which) you sing sitting, and stand to pray.
When in the church where the latter condition of
affairs is d• • laser', we sing right off fourteen verses of
a hymn! That certainly seems • good reason why
this parr of the service should be conducted with the
congregation seated. I also noted that whatever minor
differences may exist on matters of form and pro-
cedure, our brethren land I am sorry tome our sisters)
north of the Tweed am united on the broad basis of
recognition id the efficacy of sucking P•PPnrrninin
during divine service. This is the one P. in respect of
which there seems no divinity of taste among the
church-going Scots.

Why does not the Government give Mr. Parnell,
before appearing at his sedition meetings, the gentle
hint that a former Government gave Mr. Peargus
trrounor on the m rabic. 10th of April, VW ?
Kaily on the morning of that day, O'Connor was
invited by the Home Secretary to meet I • at the
lboins at the Horns Therm He went
brimful of importance, expecting, no doubt, a favour-
able compromise. When he arrived, he was moot
wannly received by the Home Secretary, who
requested him in the blandest official manner to take
a chair-01,11.4w a company of the Rifle Brigade,
drawn up in full warlike array on one side of the room.
"1 Mire sent for you," said the Secretary, "Mr.
O'Connor, to Intnslnce you ts these gentlemen, that they
iou rec.-AM.,. you again if Tim ',ammo to meet them
under less favourable cir ••:•tedms If there b, any
serious disturbance to-d ,y. I imling to bloodshed, they
have order, 0, fire on you, and n 'tin Gm b. Good-
rtsimi." It is historical that Mr. I )Connor speedily
appreciated the Minister's k intim... by retiring grape-
fully (nun the unequal contest.

" .kna things are not what they were," ought to have
Kiang the Poolnd.' of Life. I should think not indeed!
That a lady should be able to obtain a divorce by
calling for her husband's letters directed to his club,
awl rableway handed over by the hall-porter, is
.hocking, indeed, on the face of it. A friend of mine,
some years ago, confined by illness to the house, waked
his lately married wife local at for his letters.
The then hall-porter, one of the politest of men,
expreseed hi. extreme regret that it was against the
rules of the club to give up member.' letters without
written authority. " But I an, his wife !" exclaimed
the astonished lady. " Very awry. madam ;no doubt
you an-: but Do many laden call here who say the
xame thing, and whom we don't know," replied the
diplomatic official. My friend newer divulged what
oceurred between him and his bride when she
returned home; but he looked gloomy for weeks
afterwards.
