BILZICIVLOLDIIIII FOB THE Swiss ABXlr.—We
read in tha Joan& de 0f.214Ve :—" The Federal commis-

sion of experta,appointed to study the various breech-
loading mew met, op Fgisl&y last,
.at Berne, and had a
conferences with the commission of tactics. It reeolTed to
recommenst to, the Federal authorities the introduction
throughout the whole of the Swiss army of the Win-
chester reting ride, or Henry American rifle. This
arm, accoemtgp to the statement of one of the members of
the oommiesien, is these pies Mara of the improvement
introduced slowly sad judiciously by American genius
into the aces mail in the present day. The mechanism
is of admirable simplicity, and the results obtained have
been mac li remarked. The whole Federal army would be
provided frith this arm, which would be the same for
carbineemend infiutry, with the exception of some modi-
fications d detail, as the double trigger, &o. This trans-
formation would occasion an expense of ten millions."
RISTOIIi IN NEW EN/IL/RD.—The SUCCESS •of
Ristori in. New England is hardl_ behind that which
crowned bet season in New York. The Bostonians went
into raptures over her, and what is better still, they poured
out their dollen liberally. The receipts for lest week's
peeformanme were over fifteen thousand dollars. In Pro-
vidence, where she platys to-morrow evening, there was
almost a collision at the ticket Office on Saturday,
which necessitated the intervention of the police to
keep the eager purchasers in order. From what we
learn of the second New York season, which commences
at the Frock theatre on Monday next, there will be no
abatement in the Ristori enthusiasm ; for we believe that
the subscription and sale of seats now going on at the
Broadway ticket office already exceed thoee of the first
season. Riatori is, indeed, the great reformer of the
American stage. We looked to the clergy to help us in
its reformation ; but they are lost in the maze of politics.
However, with Ristori and Dawison we can get along
without the parsons —Noe York lirrald.
RUSSIAN CLEMENCY.—The Mats speaking of
the amneetty and commutation of punishment accorded by
the Emperor. of Russia on the occasion of the young
prince's marriage, observes :—" The penalty of hard labour
for life, aggravated by subjection to flogging, is reduced to
fifteen yetars for convicts belonging to the class of Poles
who toolr,part in the insurrection. Those sentenced for
limited periods are to receive a remission of one-third of
the time. As there may be persons disposed to admire
these acts of clemency, it is proper to remark that the favour
promised exists only upon paper, and that the commuta-
tions announced in the imperial manifesto are almost
illusory. Men sufficiently robust to support during fifteen
years, or even for a shorter time, the system of bard
labour in the mines, with the addition of being flogged,
are sufficiently few in number to warrant us in saying
that not many will profit by the benefits of this manifesto.
The clemency of the Emperor of Russia will be confined
almost to tiro dead."
THE NOVEMBER METEORS.—A CAPTIOUS SCOT.
—We heard of one poor man in a remote district of Kin-
cardineshire who would not appear to have been prepared
by previous reading for the phenomenon, and who imag-
ined the end of the world was at band. Having had occa-
sion to be out of doors about 1 o'clock, when it was at
the brightest, he ran and aroused his nearest neighbour
and warned him to prepare for the dissolution of this
material world and its inhabitants. However, his neigh-
bour appears to have "taken in a paper," or by some
means had become acquainted with what was expected,
and, alter some explanations, managed to calm his fears
to some extent ; although he was not altogether convinced,
remarking that they had assurance that the world would
not again be destroyed by water, but there was nothing
said about its not being destroyed by fire. When our friend
arose in the morning, everything around appeared to be
much the same as he left it on the previous evening, but,
not content with this, lie must needs " saddle is beast
and ride doun to Stanebive and see if it was safe, and if it
would be worth his while gaen doun wi' his puekle corn
on Thursday."—Stoueluaren Journal.
MAHOMEDANS AND CHRIsTIANS.—Syud Ahmed
Khan Itahadoor of Allyghur, in his Institute Journal, gives
his opinion as to whether the 3lalioniedans are allowed by
their religion to eat with Christians provided there be
nothing forbidden among the victuals, such as bog's flesh,
spirits, Ike. He thus answers the important question:
" Yes, such social intercourse is quite lawful. The divines
and other learned men of old have ever held it to be so,
and the Mabomedans of the present stronghold of Islam,
European and Asiatic Turkey, do not scruple to eat food
prepared by Christians. The Mahomedans settled in
India have adopted many of the usages peculiar to
the Ilindooe, and thus they alone of all the followers
of the prophet refrain from partaking of food pre-
pared by Christians, although their law does not im-
pose upon them any prohibition regarding such food,
provided it does not consist of anything forbidder..
God says in the Holy Koran, chapter V., v. This
day are ye allowed to cat such things as are good and the
food of those to whom Scriptures were given as also allowed
as lawful unto you and your food is allowed as lawful unto
them.' By food is here meant, says Ildrawee in his com-
n.entary on the Holy Koran, slain animals anti all kinds
of meat generally. And he explains the possessors of
Scriptures here spoken of to be the Jews and Christians.
It is stated in the Alamo Dowd, also a compilation of the
layings of our Prophet, in the chapter which treats of
feasts, that it is lawful to partake of the feast offered by a
rich man, a Jew, and • Christian." According to the
Koran, as according to Hindoo Mattress, there are many
things permissible, but custom is a stubborn thing.—
Ifireloo Perrier (Native Journal).
A COLLIER'S IDEA OF A WIFE'S DUTIES.—AN
AMUSING SccvE.—A few days ago a couple went to be mar-
ried at a village church near Wakefield. The bridegroom
was a miner and was evidently one of the most ignorant of
his class; and his intended spouse was one in the sam e station
of life. The ceremony proceeded uninterruptedly until the
question was put—" Wilt thou have this woman to be
thy wedded wife Y' At this point the man turned round
to the woman, and to the intense horror of the officiating
minister, coolly asked her—" Wi to clean mi booitsr The
bride vouchsafed no answer to the interrogation, although
repeated three times, each time with greater emphasis and
fince, before the clergyman recovered from his surprise,
and ordered the " fratching pair" out of the edifice.
This was an eventuality as astounding and as un-
expected to the bridegroom as his own conduct had been
to the parson, but it had the effect of bringing him to his
senses, and he piteously begged of the clerk to ask the
minister to come back, promising most abjectly to go
through the ceremony all rect." He was nobbat
an ignorant mon, be said, and didn't naw be
wor dein' wrung. The fact wor he and his nasals
had had money • rumpus about booit cleanin'
job and he'd sworn he'd ne'er wed her if she
did'na promise to fettleem. The clergyman was at last
induced to return, and after reading the couple • lecture
on the sacredness of the ceremony they were about to go
through, and the solemn character of the building in
which they were, proceeded with the service, and the two
were made one, the " booit" controversy being adjoained
sine die. It is to be hoped that when resumed the
" booit" itself will not be turned into a powerful auxiliary
in the discussion.—Wakefiefd Journal.
The Neteburaport Beratd tells a story of a newly-
married couple who attended a launch in that city. A
staging gave way and let the gentleman into the water.
Before be was rescued his wig came off and floated away.
When he was pulled out, bald and drenched, his wife re-
fused to recognise him, and besought the crowd that they
would save her husband, pointing frantically to • bunch et
heir drifting down the tide.
