DaatLarras AT SE.A.—The Bureau Veritas has jus
published the following statistics of maritime disasters,
reported during the month of March, 1880, concerning i
all flags •—Faaling vessels reported lost-42 English,
14 American, 1,2 Norwegian, 10 German, seven French, •
five Dutch, three Danish, three Italian, three Portu-
guese, two Spanish, one Austrian, one Swedish, one
Turkish, three of which the nationality is unknown—
total, 107. In this number are included 14 vessels
reported missing. Steamers reported lost—nine
English, two French.; total, 11. In this number is in I
eluded one steamer reported missing. 4!
_
THE REASON WHY !—A part of the truth is apt to •
be equivalent to none of it. A young man was asked
how he could be happy in a country town where he had
been residing for three months entirely without
company. "But I was not without company," he ex-
plained, "for I spent every evening with two sisters who .
live in the house adjoining, and I assure you the time
passed very- agreeably." "Yes, but, you never spend
your evenings with your two sisters when you are in
town," someone said, "and how can you do it in the
country ? " "Oh," he answered, " I forgot to say
that they were not my own sisters, and that I am en-
gaged to one of them."—Sporting Times. .
OLD SUPERSTITIONS.—It used to be a common thing
for sailors to refuse to go to sea on a Friday (says the
Antiquary). We hear nothing of this in these steam-
boat days. Steam has made every day race. Steam ,
has been a great changer, and in the matter of popular
superstitions it has proved the great reformer.
Wherever steamboats and steam-engines appear supar-
stitions disappear, ghosts, fairies, witches are speedily
forgotten. Whoever heard of a ghost in a railway
station, or of a bewitched cattle truck, or of a haunted '
saloon carriage? The thing is impossible. The most .

WEATHER FORECAST.—The following cable message
has been received at the London office of the New
York Herald from the Herald weather bureau, New -
York: "A centre of disturbance is crossing north of
45 deg., and will arrive on North British and Nor-
wegian coasts between the 4th and 6th of May, at-
tended by rains, possibly extending to France, south,
veering northwards, strong winds or gales; the '
Atlantic north of 40 deg. stormy."
IRRE-CLAMABLE.—Friend : I say, when are you going
to pay me that sovereign I lent you? Mind I shan't .
ask you for it again.—impecunious: You won't? By
Jove, now that's what I call real frieadship. I say,
you haven't such a thing as—. [Creditor rushes off.
—Judy.
HE was NOT LOST !—Two men were in a boat and i
trying to cross the rapids. The traveller was timid in• i
presence of the turbulent waters, and, clinging to both I
sides of the little cockle shell, said to the boatman in 1
trembling tones, "Arn't people sometimes lost here?
It seems to me to be very dangerous." The sturdy
ferryman gave an extra tug at the oars, and than re-
plied cheerily, "Lor' bless you, sir, I never knew a
man to be lost here, though I've been on this river off
and on for nigh forty year. Why, only last month
my brother John was drowned right on this very spot
that we are going over now, but he wasn't lost, for
we found his body two days afterward in the creek
below there." .
THE AMERICAN AND CANADIAN FOOD SUPPLYI
The arrivals of live stock and fresh meat from the ,
United States and Canada last week show that as re-
gards live stock there was a large decrease. The con-
veying steamers with live stock were the Iberian, with
294 cattle; and the Minnesota, with 408 cattle, 553
sheep, and 268 pigs. The steamers bringing fresh 1
meat were as follows :—The Iberian, with 1,600 cgs. of
beef; the Arizona, with 1,920 qrs. of beef and 800
carcases of mutton; the Minnesota, with 1,215 qrs. of
beef; the Illinois, with 1,050 qrs. of beef and 218 car-.
cases of mutton ; the City of Richmond, with 800 qrs.
of beef, 160 carcases of mutton, and 21.9 dead pigs; and .
the Baltic, with 64Q qrs. of beef and 200 carcases of
mutton; making the totals 702 cattle, 553 sheep, 268:-
pigs 7,225 quarters of beef, 1,378 carcases of mutton,
and'2l9 dead pigs. ,
BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES.—In the quarterly :
return of the Registrar-General it is stated that in the
United Kingdom the births of 288,119 children, and .
the deaths of 197,096 persons were registered in the _
three months ending 31st March. The recorded
natural increase of population was thus 91,023.—The
registered number of persons married in the quarter
ending 31st December was 131,782.—The resident -
population of the United Kingdom in the middle of
1880 is estimated at 34,505,043 ; that of England and .
Wales at 25,480,161, of Scotland 3,661,292, and of:
Ireland at 5,363,590. The birth-rate in the United
Kingdom in the first quarter of 1880 was 33.5 per
1,000, and the death-rate 22•9.—The marriage-rate ill
the fourth quarter of 1879 was 15-3 per 1,000. ,
A MILITARY FUNERAL IN FARIS.—The Paris Cor-
respondent of tile Daily Telegraph, writing on Monday
i
says :—The funeral of General Vinoy, late Grand
Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, took place at
noon to-day. It was a most imposing sight. Tlie'.
escort was composed of a picket of the Paris Gardea
Is Cheval, of a squadron of Cuirassiers, a brigade of
Artillery, and battalions of the 25th Chasseurs Is Pied,
and the 82nd of the Line, with band and colours. The.
chief mourners were the nephews and grandnephews
of the deceased—one of them a General, another 9
Colonel in the Army. The number of the - friend))
who attended is estimated at over 1,000, ranging
from Marshals MacMahon and Canrobert and some
dozens of Generals and Admirals to the old soldiers
who had served under General Vinoy, and made it a
point of honour to pay this last tribute to his memory.
The funeral service was solemnised in the Church 01
St. Philippe du Roule, the flag of the Sappers of the.
82nd being placed at the foot of the altar. During
the mass the band of the Garde da Paris played several
fine pieces from an adjoining chapel. It was a most
imposing sight. The church was fillea and the streets
thronged with people. After the ceremony the coffin
was again placed in the hearse for transport to the,
railway station, as the deceased - General is to be
buried at Nantes.
A CLAIM TO A COLONY.—The Plenipotentiary of
France in the Argentine Republic has, it is rumoured,
put in a claim for the island of Leones, situated in*
Patagonia, and on which there has been a French set-
tlement for more than twenty years. The managers
of that colony, who are some merchants residing St
Marseilles have occupied the land without the leave
of the Argentine Government, and consequently are-.
in illegal possession. The colony is formed of thirty.
six persons, engaged in the preparation of pener
and whale oil, and in the catching ef seals, aile
Argentine Government will probably seek compensea
tion for the benefits derived- from the island by the
people who have for so long a time occupied it with-
out permission. The sum realised every year by these
colonists is very considerable.—Galignani.
A FACT.—Rice, medical men now tell us, is the
"second diet." Quite so; but a eertain class of the
natives of India go even farther than this by living
entirely upon it ; in fact, nothing will Hindoos 'ern
to take anything in its.stead.—Judy,
THE SUPPLY OF MEAT ' FROM AUSTRALIA.—TII
Pall Mall Gazette says :—There Is a good deal 0
excitement throughout the Australian colonies with
reference to the successful trip of the Strathleven•
and Queensland in particular, with its minion))
of acres of land suitable for stock-raising, must
be an immense gainer by the successful venture.
Runs which before could not possibly be worked at a
profit will now become valuable. Moreover, an inl'
petus will be given in all the colonies to works of
irrigation, in order that good fattening pasture may be
provided at hand without having to travel the beasts
long distances for this purpose. Of course it ia.
quite true, as one correspondeat has stated, that
the overplus in Australia for export is not sf)
large as it looks, but the amount of atoll
is capable of almost indefinite increase when the meal'
becomes saleable and it pays to spend money in fencing
and sinking for water. 'The total population of Oa
Australian colonies does not amount to 2,500,000, all'
a very long period will elapse before the population
can consume all its own meat. But the same argument
which applies to Australia and New Zealand is ape
cable in the case of Texas and other portions pi ae,
United States. In short, there seems little don'bttha:
the price of meat in England will shortly he broußhu
down to a moderate level by competition from varietal
parts of the world.
THE BD3LE.—At the beginning of the present cen' :
tury it was calculated that there were in existence,
altogether, some 3,000,000 copies of the Bible. Since
that time the Bible Societies of England and America,
have, between them, printed 116,000,000.—British inv'

NONCONFORMITY IN PARLIAMENT.—It appears that
the Congregationalists have a larger number of repre'
sentatives in the new Ifouse of Commons than in °fit
other Parliament since the Commonwealth, nanana44
25, all of whom belong to the Liberal party. .11
Baptists have five, the Wesleyans nine; the SocietX 1
Friends 16, the Unitarians 19, and the Welsh
vinistic Methodists three. There are five Jews CV
