order to allow a ballast train to pa.e, shunted into a siding,
but owing to the gnarl giving the pointsman wrong in-

saw that an accident was imminent, got nut of it Jost in

POWER OF SEA BREAKERS.

Stephenson, the builder of the-E—Mye—tmi. e
light-
hoiis, (wind, by experiment at the Bell Rock and
Sk,rryv..re lighthouses that while the force of the
breAvr .i th.: side of the I:crman Ocean may be
taken :it als nit lie t :eel a half up .11 every square
foot of .airface exismed to them, the Atlantic breakers
fall with about double that wcight, or three tons to
the square foot : and thus we reckon that a surface of
i'lily tw. I square yard: w.m1,1 sustain a blow from a
y Atlantic hreak-r 'lual to about fifty.four tons.
When, in Novo uher, la 2 I, a heavy gale I dew, anil another

granite, from two to three tons in weight, were washed
about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater.
Alsoit 300 tons of such blocks were borne up a distance
of 200 feet, and up the inclined plane of the breakwater;
awl they were carried over it, and scattered in various
directions. A block of limestone, seven tons in weight,
was in one place washed a distance of MO feet. Rocks
of two or three tons weight were tom away by a
,inele blow of the breaker, and hurled over into the

LAMB SKINNING.
To the Editor.

In the report you hive in your paper to-day, in the
above case, P.C. Haynes is stated to have said in
giving his evidence for the prosecution, that
"shepherds are in the habit of almost skin-
ning lambs alive for • epecific purpose." Can it
possibly be true he said such a barbarous custom
existed' If so, I think before such • scandalous thing
went forth to the public, it should have been corro-
borated by some one in a position to know; as far aa
I believe it is a great falsehood. One would have
thought the magistrates knew a little more about
country life, than entertaining such a statement.
I am, yours truly.

THE DANGER OF TAKING OTHER PEOPLES'

}EATS,

A London broker thus complains —"I: had to lunch to-
day In a restaurant not 100 yards from Mincing-lane, and
when about to leave found my hat gone. On trying one
or two hats on the same line of pegs, I found one that
almost fitted me, and at once concluded that mine had
been taken in mistake for it. Telling the manager and
waiter of the matter, and leaving my laziness address, I
went to my office with my new hat, although, by-the-bye,
it was anything but new, and on reaching the office sent
my clerk beck to the restaurant with what it appears was
"stolen property;" for shortly afterwards a youth called,
quivering with excitement, accompanied by • policeman,
who forced mete go along with him to the police-station,
and there the youth charged me with deliberately stealing
his hat. Having then no hat at all I purchased one on
the way. After the usual formula at the station, the
lieutenant informed me I was discharged. Three hours
afterwards a boy from the dining-rooms called with "my
own tile." But how would you, sir, like to be marched
through the streets at three o'clock of the day with a
policeman clutching you by the arin, especially if you
were, like me, well known in the distract? Is the whole
affair • "dodger Did the youth expect me to buy him
• new hat, or ought I to have tipped the policeman? Or
bad the latter no mercenary views whatever— is he simply

PSYCHO AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL.

Visiton-t7.—C.ILn" who are fond' of the marveflous
need only go to the Egyptian Hall, and see the perform-
ance of )(ears. Maskelvn and Cooke, to have their powers
of wondering tried to their fullest extent, not only by
the surprising exposition of so-called spiritualistic
manifestations, but most of all by the performance of
the little lay figure, " Psycho,* which hai been brought
to such a pitch of perfection as to thoroughly eclipse all
previous automata ever manufactured or thought of. Ica
most striking peculiarity is not the mere movement of
its arms or head, which could of course be effected by
clock-work or other machinery, but these movements are
so combined and regulated as to allow of no explanation
except that the figure is possessed of mind as well as
matter, or that it is mysteriously governed by some out-
side force, with which it communicates independently of
electricity or any other force yet known to men of science,
who are as unable to solve the mystery as are any of
the simple and unlearned i?leasure-seekers who go in
such large numbers to see this latest triumph of man's
Ingenuity.

THE EX-EMPRESS CHARLOTTE.

Nino years ago Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, closed
his brief reign in the courtyard of Queretaro, where he
was shot by command of the late President Juarez, and
over since his widow, the ox-Empress Charlotte, has been
a prey to acute melancholia—the paroxysms of which.
however, were at first followed by intervals of partial
return to reason. In these she was allowed to amuse
herself—if gement be the word for an occupation
which turned upon the deepest tragedy—in writing the
experiences of her husband and herself in their few
months' sojourn in Mexico. This she has long abandoned,
and in the cliAteau of Luken, where she is under strict
medical surveillance, she has relapsed into confirmed
dementia, which her physicians have given up all hope
of curing. As in similar eases, she recurs to the pre-
dilections of childhood. one of which was a passion for
tloxers, and, Ophelia-like, she spends most of her time
over them, feeding as they do her once lively but now
diseased imagination. Their attraction for her was
touchingly manifested the other day. Eluding the watch
of her attendants, she hat lied from the radio, but when
overtaken it was found impossible to induce her to
rt.turri, except by the use of means which would certainly
have proved hurtled One of her physicians bethought
himself of her morbid affection for flowers, and by strew-
ing them from time to time before her she was gradually
lured on her way bark to the chateau where a closer
surveillance has since been placed over her.

INJURILD.
Ahollt nine o'clock on Monday morning an alarming
accident happened at the Great Western Railway
Terminus at Bristol. A special excursion train was
standing in the station ready to start for Weston-super-
Mare, when the down train from Swindon overshot the
mark and ran Into the hinder carriages of the excursion
train, whie% it sent dying down the line for about 20
yards. Roth trains being crowded, a large number of
persons were thrown against one another, and it was
found that 31 persons were cut and bruised, principally
about the face and head. They are mostly excursionista,
only about three of the passengers in the Swindon train
being hurt. Their injuries having been attended to they
were sent home. The official explanation is that the plat-
form being a very long one, it was thought there was
room for two trains in at once,

ALARMING ACCIDENT TO A PULLMAN EXPRESS.
The Pullman express from Edinburgh to London had a
narrow escape early Tuesday morning. As a goods train
was passing over the Settle and Carlisle line, some waggons
broke loose near Oriuside, and, following the front part of
the train, ran into it, and fouled the up line. Toe express
came up, and as it rushed by was caught by the projecting
rt. bris of the goods waggons. The guard, Barber, was in-
jured, and the passengers much shaken.

A COLLIER'S WIFE.

A case was heard at the Chorley County Court on ,
Friday which Illustrates the cruelties to which many
collWa wives are subjected. A collier, named William
Walsh, was sued for .ClB for necessaries supplied to his
wife by her father, James Naylor. Defendant w
m as
to his wife in ifi7t, and on the night of her con-
finsment—in June—she wilted him to get up end fetch her
assistance, but he replied that he was not going to lose
Ids rest for her. She was told by defendant's grandmother
to go home to her mother, who lived eight miles away,
and she started on her way but was taken 111, and was
actually confined in the garden without any waistlines.
She was ill for some time after that, when her husband
treated her cruelly, and subesquently, while living next
door to her father, defendant left her, and has not since
lived with her. She was almost naked, and had to be
supplied with both food and clothing by her friends.
Previous to going away defendant abused and kicked her.
It was urged In his defence that he left his wife because
her mother sometimes occupied his bed when she was
drunk.—The Judge (Mr. Halton) gate • verdict for .f.S
the defendant's wife having earned some money as •
collier girl.

A rALTRY FRAUD.

AVred Mailment, publican, of Poole was summoned for
evading payment of • threepennK at the Lytchett
Minster (or Upton) toll-gate on t lath of October.—
William Jeffery, the collector at the Lytclaett gate, said
defendant drove a home and car up to the gate from the
direct of Poole between eight and nine on the morning
of the 16th. lie demanded toll or ticket, and defendant
said be had a ticket and searched for it in his pockets,
remarking that he didn't know whether he could find it
now, but he had it somewhere. Mr. Williams? landlord
of the Woodman Tavern, Kiuson, was riding with defen-
dant in the cart, and he said defendant had a ticket.
Defendant found the ticket and gave it to him and drove
on. He saw the ticket had been issued that morning
from ithe Parluitone gate, but he suspecting that it was
not to defendant, and on writing to the collector there
found his suspici one to be correct —Charles Rogers,
, collector at the Parkstone gate, said the only person he
! had issued • ticket to on the morning of the 16th, before
! he received a note from the Lytchett collector, was Mr.
! Williams, who was dnving his own horse and cart. He
could swear that defendant's horse did not pass through
his gate that morning, and that the ticket produced was
Issued to Mr. Williams and not defendant—The facts
were not disputed by defendant, who said Mr. Williams
left his horse and cart at his house and rode with him to
Stunninster MarshalL Mr. Williams gave him the ticket
and he used it without thinking of the change of horses.—
Mr. Chislett, clerk to the Trustees el the Poole and Wim-
borne Turnpike*, said the system of changing tickets had
been carried on to such an extent that an example must
be made; he should summon the person who disposed of
the ticket, as he was liable as well as the receiver—The
full penalty is C. 5, and this the Bench mitigated to £1 and
costs, lii.

BLAWDFORD.

THE SOMERSET AM) DORSET LWAT.—Mr. It. Chandler,
af Sherborne, writes in the Skerborne Journal of Thurs-
day :—" I think it right for the protection of the
travelling public to draw your attention to the imudition
the permanent way of this rail Yay. I was on Tuesday
last travelling from Blandford to Winiborne by the train
which is timed to leave the former place at 2.35, but
which did net leave .until nearly an hour late. The train
was running at great speed, I should think about 40
miles per hour, when, on descending the incline approach-
ing the Spettishory station, the front guanrs van left the
rails and was dragged, or rather di leen, by the momentum
of the carriages behind, a distance of some 500 yards,
destroying the line the whole way and shattering the
chairs like tinder. When the train was brought to a
standstill, the front van which had left the rails was
found to be within a few inches of the edge of the
embankment. The train could not be moved further,
and after a delay it three hours the passengers were
transferred into another train sent from Williborne. But
the fact to which I wish to draw the particular attention
of the public through the medium of your celuiuna is that
the sleepers were so rotten that in very many MACS I
COIII,I break them to pieces with the linger awl thumb,
and in multitudes of others I mull kick isit the nails
which hold the chairs down from the decayed condition
of the wood. I do trust that in the interest of the
public an examination of this line will be at once ordered,
and that the trains will bo required to tray.al at a slow
speed until the permanent way is made safe.

TERRIBLE IF TRUE.

A horrible story, if the facts stated prove correct, was
told at an inquest lately held on the body of a child born
in the tramp ward of the Birmingham workhouse.
According to the evidence given, the mother was locked
up in the ward all night. There was no means of com-
munication with the other parts of the house. The other
occupants of the ward—five women—did all they could to
attract the attention of the officials when the mother of
the unfortunate infant was taken ill at one in the morn-
ing. All through the night they hammered at the door
with their hands and with a stick, but in vain. At half-
past four the child was born, and when the clock struck
seven, and the door was unlocked, it was found dead by
Its mother's side. The woman herself—who, for a wonder,
is still alive—could not, it appeared, even get a drop of
water to drink during the night; for, although she
entreated the other tramps to give her some, "they
dared not attempt this, OA, not knowing anything about
such matters, they were afraid to interfere." The
coroner adjourned the inquiry, stating that it would be his
duty, from what he had ascertained, to lay the facts of
the case before the President of the Loral Government
Board, In order that, if thought proper, an inspector
might attend at the wliounied inquest. That inquiry,
he added, had forced upon him the conviction that there
wfti a necessity for another bejuiry, in which the
vLibince nf the guardians of the poor might be brought
Into question. It is certainly desirable that some official
Investigation of the affair should be instituted without
delay.

ALL BA.INTS,

WE hear that Mr. Underhay, who has for many years
practised here u a surgeon, is about to retire, and is
sureeeded by Mr. J. R. Quick, lately residing at
Leirtwardine Ilerefonishire.
. . . .

Ox Tueaday and Wednesday evenings the schoolroom of
this pretty little village was tilled with an attentive and
happy audience, who were wisemlilial at the first iif a
series of Penny readings. although we might add here
that the titling charged were sixpence front awl three-
pence hack setts, the prostieds being given towards the
lightiug awl warming of the grand old parish church.
The worthy rector opened the entertainment by a very
amusing reading. 'hen followed Hong after song,
rendered by amateurs in such a pleasing awl effective
manner that applause, loud and bong, followed. Another
reading by a gentlenum visitor awl one more song seemed
to be well appreciated. The second part of each evening
was given up to broader merriment, consisting of a
number of songs, conundrums, awl smart repartees, by
the pupils id Mr. Watson, who dittoed as ilarkies, awl
did their very best to amuse awl if shouts and roars of
, laughter awl applause be any real test of succeow then
I they succeeded beyond all doubt. The music part,
happfly and kindly carried out by Mn. C. Friend, Waa
very enjoyable, awl greatly isdiled to the evenings' amuse-
ment. We hope this is only a beginning of good things
for the parishioner.. for HO place con hardly lig imagined
where scene happy awl amusing excitement is really more
required. A larger and more suitable room is sadly
needed.
