The opinion that the heat of the equitorial latitudes is
what has rorlmed the blackness of the hnman species is
not confirmed by the fact that the inhabitants of Van
Dieroa.n's Land, living in a Pli mate as c )1d as Iceland, are
among the blackest people on the earth.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM l• BRICK "—When you say, in
phrase which is now Americanised, such and such a man
is a " do you think or do you know the °dein of
it ? It is this—ln Eastern prince on being asked. " Where
are the fortifications of your city ?'' replied, pointing to his
soldiers. " every man you see is a brick."
A Pio IN A CAB.—On &Math last, a decent man's
grumplq in Na cton presented him with a full di zen plump
youths. But, sad to say, the young pigs were doomed to
be in a few d 'ye moth,rlese, as inflammation had broken out
on mater, and, on Tuesday, she either breathed her last, or
arts killed to save her bac in. In order to make the most
of a bad bargain, " porky " was sold to a flesher who keeps
an establishment no-. above seven miles distant, and who,
without delay, dressed her off in first-rate style, and conveyed
in a cab to the railway station ; but despite the repeated
application of cabby's whip, they were too late (or the train,
and her ladyship had to be driven back and lodged in an
inn in order to await the next. Meanwhile, the authorities
having got word of the affair, had piggy examined by two
fieshere, who after a most scrutinising inspection resorted
that porky was good enough for human f' cyl ' - and away she
went per next train for Troon.—AyrshireExpress.
DEIECTION BY ETHER OF A SRSM IDIOT.—The apelica
tion of the process of etherisation has just been esorte
to in Belgium as a means of acquiring judicial intormetion.
—After a considerable robbery committed at Brussels in
November lase, two men, named Lerch end Dauboer, were
arrested and brought to trial. The former was con-
demned to bard labour for life, but in consequence of the
latter pretending to be dumb and idict.ic his trial was post-
poned in order that a medical investigation should take
place. It was found impossible to get even a sign of intel-
ligence from him. As it was however, known that he was
not born dumb, and that he had spoken when he said he
could speak no language but German, he was etherised,
and while labouring under the-effect of that application be
spoke perfectly and in French. He was in consequence
again brought before the tribunal, and condemned to ten
years' hard labour.—Dublin Medical Press.
ME MIL TIA. 413rD TILE MONET VOIE3 —ln the HOW,
of Lords, on Monday, Lord Fllenborough made the fol-
lowing observations :—As to the number of militia who
w,uld be embodied under the vote passed by the House
cf Commons granting £2OO 000 for the purpose. He un-
derrteod that the number to be ems' died was about
10 000. He wished to remind the noble baron that about
80 battalions were now transferred to the East India
Company, and the expense of their ply fir six months
would be £40.000. Four additional regiments of cavalry
were transferred to the charge of the Erst India Company,
and he believed their pay for six mouthe'would amount
to about £39,000. Pion) 2 000 to 3,000 Artillery were to be
sent, and their pay for ix menthe would amount
to £32,000. It was said that some Sappers and
Miners were to be sent, and he believed their pay
would be £B,OOO during the same time. Therefore,
the revenues of this country would be charged £529,000
less than had been anticipated. They were at once
relieved of the charge for 30,000 men, and the charge feet
the recruits who were to fill their places would come
gradually upon the public revenue. He thought that the
' total charge, allowing 1,000 to be recruited every week in
the next six months, would be under £300,090. There
would remain £229,000 applicable, under the clause in
the Arpropriation Act, to which the attention of their
lordships was called the o' her day. Lord Penmure evould
have the power not only of eneb dying 10,000, but about
11 000 or 12,000 more could be pai 1 for by the surplus
-under 4ifferent heads of charge which he had pointed
out ; and he ventured to express a fervent hope that the
nobe lord would employ that sum in the manner he had
indicated.
