plant would named perfectly in sheltered situations,
If not in the open garden. It would make a charming
associate with Hydrangea paniculato grandiflora,

disposes of an oljection to the House of Lords on the
ground that the members of that assembly are all
drawn from the same clams, by asking if the suoceasful

it asks, about the Puritan lawyer Lord Cairns—does
he spring from • similar origin to that of the Earls of
Oxford and Leicester. Then we have a wealthy
brewer, Lord Ardilaun. Lords? Kinnalrd, Beth,
and Ashburton from bankers have become peers. Why,
there was a Foreign (Moe clerk who warn ennobled not
long ago; and which of the peers is drawn from the
same dam or even Rationality, as the renowned Earl
of Beaconsfield? Only • few year. ago the House of
Lords welcomed • celebrated historian and • popular
novelist; and among other recent peerages, one was
given to • millionaire ironmaster and the other to a

me that no more motley assemblage ever existed as

YEOVIL.
THE LATE MR. HARBIN.

The funeral of Mr. George Harbin, an old magistrate
of Dorset sad 8 onerset, on Saturday last was one of
the most imposing ceremonies ever seen in Yeovil.
The deceased, by his kindness of manner and the
suavity of his disposition, as also by the upright dis-
charge of his public duties, had endeared himself to •
very wide circle of acquaintances, and although the
invitations to his funeral were confined, and did not
even include all the magistrates on the Yeovil Bench,
still there was such • troop of friends ready in molt
forbidding weather to pay respect to a memory &I few,
even county families, can best. The cortige extended
fully a quarter of • mile, the Board of Guardians, the
Highway Board, the yeomanry, the Press, the
Corporation, the volunteers, end the townspeople being
all represented in the procession, which ale comprised
some eight mourning ouches and pairs, • hearse and
four and about 90 private carriages. Every shop was
wily clamed, and the streets lined with 'Testators.
e body, enclosed in a beautiful polished oak coffin,
completely covered with wreaths of white hot-house
Sowers, was first carried into the church and from
thence to the oemetery where it was laid side by side
with the deceased's o mein, the Rev. Welborn Harbin,
wise died 10 years since. 'The most perfect order pre-
vailed in the church and cemetery, and the difficult
task of getting the carriages up and down the narrow
lane leading to the church, and of turning so large a
procession was very skilfully and effectually performed
t he undertaker', Mmes. Warner).

IBIATOWN.

SINGULAR PRIXONCROIL —On Tuesday considerable
consternation prevailed among the inhabitants of this
hamlet by the appearance of • waterspout about half.
a mile from shore. It was first noticed by Mr. Ward,
officer of the Coastguards, who drew the attention of
others to it. It had the appearance of a cloud taper-
ing almost to a point from a low heavy-looking cl”ud
to the surface of the water. A sudden gale of wind
had the effect of gradually shifting the spout towards
shore, and upon reaching the edge of the water the
cloud burst its contents with great violence on the
sands. The hurricane, for it was nothing less, swept
inland, and actually shifted several boats which were
lying on the beach, several yards, two or three of them
being smashed. The wind in its coarse took the roof
off a detached building, and upon r'-aching Mattock,
about • mile distant, removed the top of a haystack.

AFGHANISTAN.

Ayoub, escorted by 900 infantry, 500 cavalry, and
one gun, has crossed the Helmand safely and taken the
northern road to Herat. It is believed that the
Beretta will resent the intrusion of Hasvim Khan and
the Cabul refugees, and will close the gates against the
whole party, compelling them to seek ref no in Persia.
The Persian Government might then be asked to make
prisoners of them, Ayoub being responsible for
Lieutenant Maclaine's murder. Colonel Daubeney's
brigade hae started for Kushk-i-Nakhud.

ATOM, [HAWS PLAN.
Ayoub meant to pass General Burrows by forced
marches to reach Sinjun. Thence he intended to
sweep down on the garrison of Candahar, whose exact
strength he knew. The capture of Candahar being
accomplished, he would then overwhelm General
Burrows's brigade. General Burrows, however,
Intercepted him after the first forced march, at
Maiwand, and forced a fight. Ayoub's fferati regi-
menta twice retired under our artillery fire, but our
Infantry breaking at the Mimi attack gave Ayoub an
unexpected victory.

Ayoob is reported two marches beyond Girishk, on
road to Herat; rumoured that he had killed &trip,
and that Zamindawar people had offered to assist him
In fresh attack on British, but he refused:. .

"General Dauba:; marching to Khushk-I-Nakhud,
nt reported fro -madal that 70 bodies had been
buried, one of the ali's smooth.bore guns and five
rifles recovered, and four of our natives taken prisoners
by Ayoob brought in. Lieutenant Muir reports that
General Daubeny's column has reaelted the field of
action near Maiwand, but found ail our dead buried.
Storm in Bolan has washed away the road, interfering
with cart traffic, but road being repaired."

The Roy. Mr. &MTN gave an seecernt of the work of the

b tautiful courvry, and the people were very much like
ourselves, with the exception of the colour. They were
divided bite a great many cantos, and son of them were
quito civilised, having been so for th,maande of years.
There were two kinds of religion. Bratiminiam and
Demonism. It was an intereating fart that as eerly as the

for centuries and centuries there had been Coristian
worship there in the Srrian language. The people traced
ttionnelves back to Thomas the Apostle, who, they said,
WWI there end Christianized their forefathers. From
that time to this there had b oen hundredi of thousands of
Christians but, unfortunately, the ptople kept them-
selves to a foreign language, which had not the same
power as the Scripture" would have if written and taught
In the Vernacular. The Scriptures, however, had bottom*
sadly mixed up with the caste customs, so that it had
ccseed to be of good to the people. There were, however,
40,000 who called themselves Christians, who were Izmir
exAlent and whom they would be sure to meet in the
home above, when they came from the oast, the west, the
north, and the sou'h. The work was prospering greatly,
and was one which deeerved earnest efforts. He urged

PROFESSOR FAWCETT ON TEACHING.
Education in England is regarded with fitful feelings
either of satisfaction or slam. Now, we think we
are doing all that is required, in re-building schools,
raising standards, introducing coercion; and anon we
make the discovery that thi wrong course is being
adopted. We are perhaps teaching subjects which
will prove u.eless In after year., or omitting some
which every child in every station in life ought to
learn. The Postmaster General, who would have
made a good minister of education, and whose robust
intellect seems to fit him for the consideration of any
sublect whatever, says youths shoald "read less and
think more." In awarding prises at Salisbury a few
days sloop, Mr. Fawcett threw out some other vale.

task of national education. We feel all Mr. Fawcett
says to be reasonable and true; yet the carrying-out

circumstances can you make him do it Again, the

At a meeting of the Westport (Mayo) Board of

sented themselves and made an appeal for work. They
were, their leaders said, on the verge of starvation;
they could get no more food on credit; and none of
them had a single half-barrel of potatoes left. The
chairman said the board could only offer to take them
into the workhouse; but the applicants did not accept

of a fanner in the neighbourhood , to whom he had lent

to the full extent of his capital. Last Thursday Draper
went to the farmer with • view of ascertaining the true
state of his politic's. This seems to have been so unsatis-
factory that it produced a complete shock to the system.

stairs to light the fire, on returning to the bedroom was

set to work to disinter the two buried men; they
began at four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was not
till after about four hours of hard work that, about
eight o'clock. they succeeded in reaching the two tioor
fellows. One of them named How had received
a blow on the head, which caused his blood to
flow, and he was dead, the other, a plumber,
who had held his comrade's hand, was yet alive,
although rather knocked about. In fact, he had had a
most miraculous escape, greatly owing to the stuff
which had fallen on him having laid loosely together,
so that he was just able to breathe. Poor How leaves
three orphan children, his wife having previously died,
and the eldest of the children is under 15. Although
the plumber was so hurt that at first he was not
expected to live, he recovered sufficiently to give

IMPORTS.

The District Examiner of Lodge Books reported.
among other remarks, as foUows :—"To the officers
and brethren of the Poole District of Oddfellows,—
Brethren,—Durlng the past year I have examined the
books of 15 lodges, comprising 2,833 members, and I
am gratified to report that there is • continued im-
provement in the manner of keeping the various lodge
accounts throughout the district. Imperial and
fraternal legislation of recent years have greatly aw-
-1 mentad the labours of the lodge secularise, but they
have nobly responded to their duties.'
The auditors reported thus :—" Dear Sir and
Brother,—We have great pleasure in stating that we
have completed the audit, and found the accounts
kept in a most satisfactory manner. We beg to
express our wish that the district will call attention
to the arrears due from the lodges on the closing of
the year's account. As will be seen from the account,
the sum of £2l 104. 141. was due and owing. and, as
the result, the large sum of £45 11e. 244. has been
borrowe from the Funeral Fund. We would suggest
that the lodges be informed of this. with • view to
their clearing up to the end of the year.— Yours
fraternally, B. Varier Thomas, Jam B. C. Sharp.—
To the Grand idlistar of po de District."

Water.) to to be the same as In the preceding year,
viz., at the rate of eXi per annum.

Mr. Burr proposed that this be 4<l. per member.
Some of the members considered it too high a sum;
but, after the matter had been discussed pro and con.,
It was decided that the levy should be 4d.

euttgaii
It was proposed that the figures £l,OOO be struck
out of the Tlrd district rule, and that £3OO be sub-
stituted.

M. C. 8. Wasmax said that according to the
report read that day, there was a funeral fund of over
£1,000; but since the accounts on which that report was
founded had been made up, he had received three
applications for funeral allowances, and if these appli-
cations had been sent in beicre, there would not have
been a balance of £l,OOO to the credit of the funeral
fund. These being, however, this amount in hand,
be might nay there would be no distriot levy for the
next six months. Notwithstanding what had been
said on this matter, the proposal to substitute £5OO
for L'l,ooo in the rule referred to, could not be enter-
tained, as, according to the number of their members,
they mast, in order to comply with the flies of their
district, hives funeral fund of MO.
