What curious ideas some people have of attracting
other re pie ! The Victona Club for ladies adver-
tises that it has now on its books over 200 member.,
" amongst whom are several ladies of rank, (Canto

scarcely imagine any one, not of the sterner sex,

which his noble uncle-in-law, Lord Salisbury, has under-
taken to pilot about the diplomatic shoab4 at

himself Impregnable. Ile has already tried some of
these guns on his unsusoecting subjects, and finds that
the ordnance answers all expectations. His Majesty
has personally observed the exhilarating effects of
shell and grape canister on a village three-quarters .4
a mile distant from firing-point. The villagers
skipped nimbly about, to the great delight of their
sovereign lord, who soon Het their village aflame.
Rockets were also tried with surprising effect,
especially as one muldenly burst and killed a leading
palace-functionary. who was engaged in deftly train-
ing the missile. His Majesty, the Divine Owner of
the White Elephant, was so incensed at this that be
onlered a few shots to be fired into the shipping in

before the whole of the vessels could cut and slip.
His Burmese Majesty is confident that with his
Krupp gins he may safely defy any such puny
foreign Power as Britain. On the strength of this
opinion. his Majesty has united his sacred person tr.

A GIIOST-11AUNTED RAILWAY STATION.
A Chorley correepondent writes :--" For the past
week or ten days considerable alarm has been created
among the railway csopfor:s of the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Railway, at Chorley, in consequence of
certain strange phenomena that have been manifested
about a large engine shed a short distant* from the

suicide occurred doe° to the shed, and latterly strange
sounds have been notices' by the engine cleaners,
supposed to arise from that circumstance. Added to
this alarming phenomenon. large stones have been
thrown by 11011.10 unexplained agency at the workmen
threughout several nights, and this became so serious
that several of the workmen have actually left their

I hear that the stony-hearted officials of that prison
which is destined to claim Dr. Slade as its own are
looking forward with even unnsull joy to the advent
of their prisoner. Spiritual sympathisers. in phantom
broughams, have been seen to drive up to the prisms-
door in team ; and, after a few kind inquiries as to the
rules regarding prison-diet, have gone away in smiles.
It seems that they may send a misoner in the
inter,sting situation of Dr. Slade souvenirs of a
gastronomic nature. The table may no longer rap it

friendly pate de fi,ie gros and champagne. This is as

the lonely prisoner:discomfort, by invoking evil spirits
after a hearty meal. Meanwhile they are feeding
him up within the precincts of their respective homes.
and treating him to the Opera during the process of

digestion.
I gather from the Australian paper" that Mr.
Ontilow's agente, who are on the b.ok-out for the real
Arthur Orton in that country, have not merely been
"too clever by half," but have actually been too
successful by two thirds. In brief, they have dis-
covered three Arthur °dons. One is dated to be
"unfortunately in the lunatic asylum at Paramatta ;"
hut he has "lucid intervals." and seems to have been
at least Rene enough to understand that a reward was
offered for his appearance. The other two are said to
have their wits about them. But the prospect of
seeing these "three jolly butcher•hoye all of a row"ie
really ton much. What on earth can we want with
four Arthur Orton',?
