A parting salute of 21 guns was given to Presi-
dent Juarez on his leaving Ban Luis for the capital. Two
battalions formed a guard of honour from the palace to
the outer line of the city. In all the smaller town' and
villages through which he passed he was received with
great enthusiasm, and with every demonstration of esteem
and gratitude.
The Conciencia Public', of the city of Mexico, says :
" A friend of ours has taken from the papers published at
the time, a list of the persons who were shot in this capi-
tal while iit was under the domination of the foreigner.
This shows that in the last six months of 1864 there were
337 shot ; in that whole year there were 403 ; in
1 , 196 ; and in 1866, 43 ; making a total of 968. From
this we can calculate the number of unfortunates through-
out the republic, when in the capital near one thousand
persons were executed. We remember having seen hang-
ing on the limbs of the trees along the road from here to
Puebla, in one day in August, 1863, twenty-two human
bodies. It is certain that none of these unfortunate per-
sons were legally tried, but that they were all executed the
day of their capture by guerrillas and thieves."

NOL'forg CAMOSIILE PILLS. BEGGARS " ON CIRcuIT."—At the weekly meet-

the chairman, referring to she tramp system, said a
series of resolutions had been received from the chairman
of an aggregate meeting of delegates from several boards
of guardians in the counties of Gloucester, Worcester,
and Hereford. The principal object alined at by that
meeting was to discourage the indiscriminate giving of
alms to beggar.. As a substitute for this mischievous
form of relief, a system had been adopted in the
counties above mentioned of issuing way-tickets to
vagrants on tramp. After sonic account of the
efficient manner in which such a system might be carried
out, the resolutions ran as follow: "That the system
cannot have its full beneficial effect till the area to which

Mr. Gladstone concludes his letter to us:—" The devotion ing them, and to travel straight through the country at a
