THE NANA,—Another " Nana" has turned up
in Meywar. The best way, perhaps,
to stop this
would be to hang pretenders on the strength of their own
assertions. There can be little doubt that the real scoun-
drel is either dead or in the hands of Jung Bahadoor. The
former of these suppositions is by far the more probable of
the two, for the only reason the Nepaulese Minister could
have for keeping him would be the intention of playing
him as a trump card should opportunity offer, and he knows
that the man never had the slightest personal influence,
and as a winning Gard always was, and will be, not worth
play ing.—Calcut,a Englishman.

STOKER KIL. ED.—On Tuesday
goods *Jean on the
North British Railway, was engaged in coupling some
trucks at a aiding near Niddry station he was struck by
some rails which were projecting over the end of one of the
trucks, and his head was frightfully crushed between the
rails and a truck. The unfortunate man was speedily re-
moved to Edinburgh for surgical treatment, but he was
dead before the train in which he was brought reached
town. The deceased was a native of Castle Douglas, was
unmarried, and had only been in the service of the com-
pany for a short timer--Scotsman.
