" THE DROP THAT OVERFLOWS THE CUP."—The
Federal Government has stopped the sale of liquor in the
camp, and cut oft' the grog of the navy. This last measure
(a short measure) is surely unnecessary. There can be no
harm in a drop in the ocean, nor does it follow because the
army is disorganized, that the fleet should be dispirited.

Might not bakers' apprentices very appropriately be called
the alumni.

AINN or MARK.—Is the branding of deserters to be con-
sidered a natural D-marcation.

NOTICE.—In answer to numerous inquiries, we beg to
state, once for all, that we believe the peerage, to which the
Honourable Frederick Cadogan is heir, to be the Cadogan
pier-age, and its revenue to be derived from the penny
steamers.

MOST CERTAINLY.—WouId not Close make an appro-
priate poet for a tailor ? and might not one of his effusions
be very properly called a distich ?

From Italy we have news that Garibaldi is much
worse, and a report signed by seven doctors, to the effect
that they believe the bullet still to be in his leg.
The Poole Herald states that Garibaldi will, as
soon as he is able to leave Italy, visit a gentleman in the
neighbourhood of Lymington, in Hants.
The American papers state that the French
have imported a quantity of telegraph wire and railway
stores into Mexico.

Yesterday the session of the Faculty of Arts and
Laws was opened in the presence of a large number of stu•
dents and visitors.
An attempt has been made in Italy to rear several
other species of silkworms, the produce of which may com-
pensate for their inferiority to the mulberry silkworm by
reason of their low price, and by the utilisation of plants
and soils hitherto unproductive.
South Carolina, with a population of 715,000
souls, produces 500,000 bales of cotton. In Italy there are
more than 8,000 square kilometers, perhaps more than
800,000 hectares of land suitable for cotton cultivation, and
if only one-third of it were planted with cotton, it would
produce at
bales of cotton least one million of kilogrammes, or 559,000
The last great horticultural show at Namur was
the most remarkable ever seen in Belgium. There were
more than 30,000 specimens of fruit exhibited, comprising

producedr
the finest pears, the Germans the finest apples, and the
Fiench the finest grapes.
The mildness of the weather is

in the department of the Allier that in the park of Baron
de Vance, near Ebreuil, liliacs and chestnut trees are in full
and strawberries,
flower. Raspberries
both white and
are also abundant on the same estate.
