MR. MACDONALD, M.P., ON THE
DEPRESSION IN TRADE.

Writing from the House of Commons to the Secretary of
the Repretentative Committee who arc arranging the general
conference of representatives of and employers of labour
throughout the West of England and \Vides, which is to
take place at the Guildhall, Bristol, on February 12th next,
for the purpose of conferring together as to the real causes
of the unprecedented depression in nearly every branch of
Industry throughout the Kingdom, Mr. Alexander Mac-
donald, M.P., in accepting an invitation to be present at
the conference, says
"I think your object is a good one, and I will come
to your meeting upon whatever day you hold it. Why
not ask for an inquiry to be made into this important
subject by the House of Commons. There is
.8. vulgar
crowd who say that the present state of things is caused
by trades unionists, and if that be so, any impartial
tribunal appointed by Parliament would soon be able
to read the causes of the present depression. I say
an impartial tribunal; by this I mean that you must
not have it made up entirely of capitalists. In such a
case, however good their intention may be, we
know they do not believe in trades unions. Ido not
fear the result, and I challenge the inquiry, so as to
stop the mouths of the enemies of trades unions, if it
could be done. On the other hand, should it prove
that working men by their combinations are in any
degree to blame, whatever facts might come to light
by such an inquiry, would be landmarks to guide them
against a repetition of such evils in the future."

AMERICAN HUMOUR.

Mr. Josh Billings, after considerable study since
the first of April, 1877, has accumulated the following
facts and philosophies : "There is lots of people in this
world who spend so much time watching their health
that they hivent got time to enjoy it. I have a great
kuriosity now to kno when the next flood is going to
take place, and whether thare kan be found on the
face ON' the earth a crew fit to man the next ark with.
There iz nothing that yu and I make so menny blun-
ders about, and the world so few, as the aktual
amount ov our importance.

"Look here, you critter," exclaimed a Hoboken
man the other night, as he brought his hand down on
the place where a mosquito sat: "do you take me for
a lunch-counter?" The mosquito by this time, sitting
on the far side of the room, was very respectful, and
made no reply.

The experienced editor can always tell at sight
the man who comes in with his first attempt at original
poetry. He walk's on tiptoe, and looks as though he
had just passed a counterfeit bill or had brought the
baby.

Josh Billings in his philosophy asserts that lightn-
ing never strikes twice in the same place, it generally
happening that there is nothing there the second time
to hit.
This is given as the first honeymoon discussion
between an American lawyer and a New York belle.
"No, Amy, you're quite wrong. I never was refused
in all my life." " Oh, Tom, how can you say so?
Why, there was Louie Simpson." "I tell you again,
you're wrong, complete.ly wrong. It's true I was de-
clined witli thanks ' once, but I never was refused."

A Yankee editor, speaking of poultry, says, "Much
attention has been paid to the rearing of poultry in the
West, and the method now in use of hatching chickens
I c msider far superior to the Egyptian one of hatch-
ing them in ovens. It is simply to fill a barrel with
eggs, head it up, and sit a hen upon the bung."

FAMINE IN PALESTINE.

Information has just been received by the London
Committee of Deputies of the British Jews, from the
Rev. the Chief Rabbi and from Sir Moses Montefiore,
as to the terrible privations which the Jewish inhabi-
tants of Palestine are enduring, accompanied by sug-
gestions for their relief. Sir Moses stated to the
deputies, that he had received a telegram from
Safed intimating that great misely existed among the
Jewish and general population of that city. The
Chief Rabbi informed the deputies that he had
received several reports which spoke of the
existence of intense misery in Jerusalem, Tibe-
rias, Safed, and other places. This unfortunate
state of things, the Chief Rabbi said, was due to
the drain which the war had made in money, men,
and provisions in every portion of the Ottoman do-
minions, stagnation of trade, and the long-continued
drought. The Board of Deputies, in meeting at the
Portuguese Synagogue, Bevis-marks, London, rq-
solved to issue an aupeal for funds to the Jewish com-
munity. to be sent to all the synagogues. Sir M.
Montefiore has already forwarded £4O.

RUSSIAN SICK AND WOUNDED.

The Times of Monday publishes the following letter :
Sir,—The committee of the Russian Sick and
Wounded Fund have received a letter from Surgeon-
Major Baker, from Bucharest, dated January 15. He
states that Dr. Hutnphry Sandwith has been obliged
to leave on account of ill-health from the hardshins he
has undergone, and that he has left Dr. Baker to
administer the Fund in his place. The latter gentle-
man has had two years' experience in this sort of
work, having acted as Dr. Sandwith's right-hand man
in Servia. He writes as follows :

"I found 4,500 sick and wounded in Sininitza. In one
barrack visited I found 35 of the 50 beds occupied by Turks
at the express desire of the Russian authorities, and Rus-
sians lying on the ground between the beds. They make no
distinction between the Russian and Turkish wounded. There
are 5,000 sick and wounded in Sistova and all in want of
warm clothing and comforts. I thoroughly believe that our
barrack at Putine, with its 800 beds, has saved thousands of
lives. This may sound as an exaggeration, but it must be
remembered that the tenants are changed daily, and that one
night's exposure is sufficient to hill a man weakened by
disease, hunger, or cold."

• The committee have built barracks fitted with
stoves, windows, and wooden floors each accommo-
dating 800 men. We have two of these in Roumania
and are now erecting much larger one near Tirnova.
In one of these barracks we have had five English
surgeons constantly at work, and Russian Sisters of
Mercy minister ta the needs of Turks and Russians
alike. Though we- all hope that the war with its
attendant miseries willsoonle over, there will be, un-
fortunately, a keeu demand for all the asbistance our
committee can supply for some months to come, and
I therefore appeal again to the philanthropy of
Englishmen and of Englishwomen for further help.—
Yours, obediently, WESTMINSTER. ,

TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC AT TIFLIS.

A special telegram to the Gobs from Tiflis, dated
the 25th inst., states that all the medical staff attached
to hospitals belonging to the 9th, 42nd, 43rd, 47th and
Alexandropol regiments, together with several others,
are down with typhus Lever. In some hospitals the
epidemic has stricken down everybody, from the
sisters of mercy and hospital dressers to the profes-
sional staff. The majority of cases are fatal. At
Alexandropol, equally with Tiflis, the military hos-
pitals are absolute pest-houses, and in neither town is
it easy to find a house free from disease. Typhus is
spreading throughout the Caucasus and Armenia with
such rapidity and deadliness that it has assumed the
proportions of a plague.

The Paris Figaro, which has been speaking lately
for the ex-Queen Isabella, states that affectionate messages
have been exchanged between her and her son and daughter-
in-law, on the subject of the recent marriage.

A monster meeting was held in Sheffield, on Tues-
day, in an open space where twenty thousand people can
assemble. It had been called by the Mayor in compliance
with a requisition, and a resolution calling upon Parliament
to reject the Supplementary Vote was moved. To this an
amendment was proposed to the effect that peace wouid be
bast promoted by supporting the foreign policy of the Go-
vernment, conpled with an expression of confidence in the
Ministry. The meeting was noisy throughout, as the crowd

THE TELEPHONE.

The Vienna papers inform us that, while we are yet
only at the beginning of our acquaintance with the
capabilities of the telephone, and scientific men are in-
vestigating how it may be employed so as to obtain
from it the utmost measure of usefulness, it has been
already discovered that, if deftly employed, it can be
used as a medium for procuring revelations never in-
tended to be intrusted to its keeping. It is able to
steal the secrets of the telegraph. Professor
Sacher, of Salzburg, has made this discovery. It is
sufficient to cause a telephone wire to run close
by a telegraph wire for a comparatively moderate
distance, in order to be able to hear through the
telephone the signs given at the other end by the
telegraph apparatus. It would seem from this that
any one need only attach the wire of a telephone to a
telegraphic wire in order to " tap " it and become
possessed of all the secrets which are being conveyed
along it. There is, however, one indispensable con-
dition for gratifying such curiosity. The operator
must possess so educated an ear that he can under-
stand the telegraphic signs upon merely hearing them.
Since telegraphic officials alone, and only very few
even among them, can be presumed to have such
finely trained hearing, the danger suggested by this
discovery does not, as yet, at least, seem to be very
great.

ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.

A petition has been presented to Parliament signed
by Miss Lydia Becker, Rosanna Battey, Sarah Maria
Backhouse, and other ladies. It sets forth that
marriage is the natural and honourable profession in
which the majority of women maintain themselves by
the discharge of the conjugal, social, and domestic
duties which appertain to the position of a wife; that
the entrance on this profession comes to a woman
through an offer or promise of marriage; that the ac-
ceptance of such offer or promise debars the woman
from forming other ties, and the breaking or non-per-
formance of such promise hinders her from obtaining an
establishment in life, inasmuch as a woman who has
given her promise and affections to one man cannot
transfer them to another without grievous loss ; that
men do not usually marry for a maintenance, while mar-
riage is regarded as the proper and usual means through
which women obtain a maintenance; therefore a breach
of promise of marriage by a.man to a woman causes a
pecuniary loss which is not nsually suffered through a
breach of promise by a woman to a luau; and upon
these and other grounds, the petitioners pray that
leave may not be granted to bring in a Bill to abolish
actions for breach of promise of marriage.

GOVERNMENT AND TEI EASTERN QuEsTroW--An
aggregate meeting of the members and friends of th°
different Conservative Associations in the borough of
Kidderminster, was held in the large room of the Barley
Mow Inn, on Monday night, with the object of pre'
posing a resoultion of continued confidence in the
policy of the Government:at the present critical juncture
of affairs. There was a very good attendance.—Mt•
Isaac Moore proposed " That, in view of the critical
condition of foreign affairs, and the unscrupulous attacks
upon the Government in relation thereto, this meeting
desire to convey to her Majesty's Ministers its hearty
approval of their well-directed efforts to maintain the
honour and interests of the British Empire ; and that a
copy of this resolution, signed by the Chairman, be at
once forwarded to the Earl of Beaconsfleli." Mr, Lay'
cock seconded this, and it was put to the meeting and
carried unanimously.
THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. —l4r. J. Kiteley presided
at the meeting held on Tuesday.—The Chairman called
attention to the pressing necessity for increased
dormitory and school accommodation for the Work-
house. It was absolutely necessary that additional and
improVed accommodation should be provided for the
children. He gave notice that at the next meeting he
should ask the Guardians to take into consideration
the question of providing school and sleeping accom-
modation for the children at the Workhouse.—The re-
signation of the cook was accepted, and it was decided to
advertise for her successor.—The atneunt expended in
cut-door relief in the borough during the past fortnight
has been £6O 2s 4d; and in the Foreign, £65 12s 31,1
The number of paupers in the house at the present
time is 277, as compared with 237 for the corresponding
period, of last year.

large and influential meeting of the Cradley Conserva-

amongst otherl were present.—Messrs. H. Christopher,

(seeletary), John Pateshall (chairman), William Tate,
and Benjamin Ilingley. Messrs. Pattershall and Hill
delivered interesting addresses on the late Birmingham
Conference, which were loudly applauded. The Con-
ference, they said, was a great success' and there was
no question but that it would tend very much to
strengthen the eause of Conservatism, not only in the
midland connties, but also throughout the kingdom.
Hearty votes of ,hanks were accorded to the delegates
(Messrs. Pateshall and Hill) for their information and
services at the Conference. The proceedings were of
an enthusiastic character throughout, and the following
votes of confidence were passed to Her Majesty's

Ministers .--(1), " That this meeting believes the
policy of her Majesty's Ministers upon the Eastern
Question to be for the test interests of this kingdom at
large, and for the protection of British commerce abroad
and as faithful and loyal sul)jects of her Gracious
Majesty the Queen we do hereby heartily endorse the
same, and also pledge ourselves by all constitutional
means to uphold and support her Majesty's Government
to the best of our ability." (2). " That this meeting
views with deep regret the line of action pursued by the
leaders of the so-called Liberal party at this moment-
ous crisis, and believes that such unpatriotic conduct
tends to lower the dignity of this great nation in the
eyes of Europe; weaken the influenze and embarrass
the hands of her Majesty's Government in the peace
negotiations now pending, and strengthens the demands

LETTER FROM MR. SPURGEON.

At the morning service in the Metropolitan Tabernacle
on Sunday special prayers, during the service, were offered
for the pastor, the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, who is at present
in France on six weeks' sojourn for the good of his health,
which has been lately failing him The rev, gentleman,
after a short stay in Paris, proceeded to Mentone, where he
intends to remain for some time. The following letter was
read, dated Mentone, Wednesday evening :

It is only a few days since I wrote you, and there-
fore I have nothing fresh to report, except that each
day I feel the need and the value of the rest which I
am beginning to enjoy. I have only arrived hero this
afternoon, but the warm s'inshine and the clear atmos-
phere make me feel as if I had reached another world
and tend really to revive a weary mind. It would
be well if I could write without a word of mention of
myself, and or your edification only. Forgive the
need there is for mentioning my health. It would best
please me if I could work right on, and never have a
wretched item of self to mention. My mind runs much
upon the work at hcme—the services, the College,
the Orphanage, the Sabbath School. the coming meet-
ings, and so on. I picture all these things in my
mind's eye, and wonder bow all go on. . . . There
is my brother, too, and all the officers. They will
watch for the good of the church, and tile
more spiritual and full-grown among you—you,
also will care for the state of the work, and so the
Lord will use your instrumentality for His glory. We
are set for a sign and token of the power of the old-
fashioned Gospel, and we are bound to prove to all
sround not only that truth can gather, but that it can
hold. It will not only forcibly draw mess together, but
it will bind them together, and that, too, not through
54 me famous preacher, but by its own intrinsic force.
This assertion needs proof, and you will prove it. May
God, the Eternal Spirit, abide over you all, beloved,
and cause you to be strong in the anointing of the
Holy One! May the poor be comforted, the sick sup-
ported, the warriors be strengthened, and the labourers
sustained! My hearty love, as ever, with you.
'There ray best friends, my kindred dwell, There God,
my Saviour, reigns."—Yours in Christ Jesus, C. H.
SPURGEON." •
