SPORTING NOTES.

1 have again to congratulate' my readers, of the- e
notes for the very handsome win achieved with
LiO,on in the Newmarket Handicap, who started
at 10 to 1. It certainly was a foreshadow of good
luck dur;ng the past week, as nearly all the other
selections at Newmarket fell to your Travelling
Cone pendent's Final wires from the course ;
wlai,7h many of your sporting readers availed them
eedves of the opportunity of having, by merely

liolluway's Pills are the medicine most in repute for
curing the multifarious maladies which attack humaui'y
when wet and cold weather gives place to more genial
temperatures. In short, these Pills afford relief, if they
fail of being al absolute remedy in all the disturbances
of circulation, digestion, and nervous energy, which as
times oppress a vast portion of the population. Under

exerted by these excellent Pills, the tongue becomes clean

RUSSIA is paying the penalty of vast Em.
pire once again. She is threatened with
another trouble, which may or may not as-
sume gigantic dimensions. The frontier dis-
putes between the subjects of the Czar and
those of the Chinese Emperor have become
so hot that a Russo-Chinese war is now, says
a St. Petersbnrgh paper, regarded as inevit-
able. The claims of China are spoken of in
Russia as most unwarranted, hence the im-
pending rupture. Fifteen thousand soldiers
of the sovereign of the Celestial Empire are,
we are told, massed in the Manchuria
country. The prospect of the teeming
millions of China engaged in deadly conflict
with the vast multitude who owe allegiance
to the ruler of half Europe and a third of
Asia would be one from which the rest of
the world would turn with horror. We
trust that, if its situation is as strained as
report has it, meditation may be attempted
by some state in whose fairness and
neutrality both countries can place confi-
dence.

WITH the coming of summer intelligence
of serious outbreaks of cholera in Italy and
other parts of Southern Europe reaches us.
Every one will wish that 'we may be spared
such harrowing details of death as last year
brought daily for months from Spain. The
urban authorities of continental localities
likely to be affected ought to take the most
rigorous sanitary precautions to prevent the
dreadful scourge obtaining a hold among
them. And we here in England, now the
hot weather is at hand, cannot be to care-
ful, especially in crowded centres, in listen-
ing to the wise counsel of medical and
scientific advisers as to our scrupulous
cleanliness. Neglect of their warnings may
bring to careless and watchful alike at any
time an epidemic visitation from the grim
Destroyer.
• •

LIE new commercial treaty between Eng-
land and Spain, long hoped for and arrived
at at last, should give an incentive to onr
depressed trade. A great market practically
closed to this present is opened up thereby
for British productions, and consequently
the relations between England and Spain
will be strengthened and widened.

LIR House of Commons is too prosaic and
matter-ot-fact to grow sympathetic respect-
ing the feelings and pangs of people of the
murderous persuasion—hence its decisive
refusal to interfere with the death penalty,
though Sir Joseph Pease and other members
of Parliament of ultra-humanitarian con-
victions waxed eloquent in their argumenta-
tion in favour of the abolition of capital
punishment, The old Mosaic ordinance of
"a life for a life" seems likely to survive for
many years the abolition in Britain of other
reliques .of the savage law of re.taliation
which lingered long. You may plead as
you like the familiar platitudes of this fine
olderusted debating society subject; bat the
public sentiment is largely and strongly in
favour of the retention of the extreme
penalty which in effect perpetuates and
legalises the ancient prophecy, that "Whoso
sheos man's blood, by man shall his blood
be shed."

A NEW member of Parliament, though by
no means a man new to public note, Mr. J.
Carvell Williams, is jubilant because a
measure closely associated with his name
has become the law of the land. But we
are doubtful whether this same new measure
will be, at first, at any rate, generally re-
garded as a boon and a blessing. It is an
interference with the marriage ceremony;
and if there is anything which English
womankind holds sacred from the reformer's
desecrating touch, it is the tying of the
nuptial knot: To be sure the new statute
only so alters matters as to make afternoon
marriages legal, and a good deal has been
adduced in favour of the change. But the
English girl is educated to look forward with
expectancy to the time when she shall figure
as the centre ea little picture of human
brightness and joy on her happy marriage-
morn, to the parting with childhood's friends
at high noon amid showers of slippers and
rice, and to the afternoon journey to the
land of the honeymoon, in company with
him who is thenceforth to be her all in all.
A. post meridian wedding would be too pro-
saic. Why the grand old hymn has it that
the earliest nuptial noose on record was tied
betimes in the morning, and all the benison
would evaporate from a marriage blessing
breathed first in the afternoon, all the glam.
our of romance be gone. from a three o'clock
wedding. Arid the man who would urge
convenience as a reason for such a cere-
moiaial being performed after dinner would
deserve to remain in the bonds of batchelor-
dom till death. Young ladies will, we know,
resent this radical invasion upon the routine
of the supreme day of their lives, rather
than render thanks to Mr. Carvell Williams
and his friends.
