PARIS PRICES.

The France relates the following story, the authenticity
of which it guarantees :—" On the morning of the 3rd of
December a flag of truce was displayed ou the battle-
field of Comilly ; French and Prussians were mingled to-
gether, taking up their wounded and burying their
dead. While they were fulfilling these sad duties
the French and Germans conversed together, but
when luncheon time mine all separated to find refresh-
ments in the neighbourhood. `f I have brought some pro-
visions with me," said 'a French doctor to two Prussian
officers who chanced tobe standing by him, " and if you will
do me the honour of partaking . . . " The invitation
was accepted with as good a grace as it was given,
and the doctor led his guests towards a carriage
which stood near. The clot] was laid on a boul-
der, and all disposed themselves round it as best
they might. The French doctor then produced from his
carriage a fine fowl, a pats, some pats of butter fresh
vegetables, fine wines, and some cheese—all this quite
quietly, without fuss, just as if it were all the most
natural thing in the world. The doctor's guests contem-
plated this luncheon with astonishment. Our country-
man, on the other hand, assumed a perfectly indifferent
manner, talking of everything but the matter in hand.
At last the Prussians could not help expressing their sur-
prise at such a bill of fare, adding that it must have cost a
great deal. "No, indeed," replied the host, "we have
abundance of all that sort of thing, and one can get
it without any trouble. I had but to send my servant
just before I left. Of course it is a little dearer than
usual, but the difference is hardly perceptible. Come,"
added he, "we shall see directly. My servant must have
got the bill by him." The servant accordingly fumbled
in his pockets, and drew out a bill from one of our best
restaurants which came to 28f. " You see," said the
doctor, handing the bill to his astounded visitors, " it is
not out of the way." The luncheon cost 200 f., but the
doctor had taken care to have two bills.

It is contemplated to establish a bishopric at
Heligoland.
New boilers aro being built for the Great Eastern,
which is at present lying in the Medway.
The Exeter Gazette states that the Bishop of
Mauritius has had a severe attack of bronchitis, which
has prevented him from fulfilling his engagements to
preach at Barnstaple.

A Kerry paper mentions, as a remarkable instance
of the confidence which the new Land Act has created
in the tenant-right of farms held by parole agreement,
that a sum of £465 has been given for the interest of a
farm of forty-two acres, not held under lease, at public
auction, in Kenmore.

The Bishop of Perth (Western Australia), the
Right Rev. Dr. Matthew B. Hale, has announced his in-
tention of resigning his see, to which he was consecrated
in 1856. The bishopric is supported by the interest of
£4,000, granted by the Colonial Bishopric Fund, and
invested in the colony.
THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH.—The members
of the Bromley Friends in Council may well be not a
little gratified that the remarks made at the recent meet-
ing by Mr. J. B. Brown, so expressive of the best feelings
of the neighbourhood towards the Empress, have been very
graciously acknowledged by her Majesty.—Brosnley ( Kent)
Record.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The Greenwich ad-
vanced Liberals have adopted a resolution protesting
against the proposed dowry of 230,000 and annuity of
£6,000 to the Princess Louise, " inasmuch as they con-
sider the same unjust and unnecessary, and that the
amount would be far more usefully and beneficially ex-
pended in clearing and cultivating a portion of the waste
lands of the State, and thereby find work for some of
those who are sadly suffering for the want of employ-
ment."

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A STATION-MASTER.—
Another fatal railway accident occurred on Wednesday
evening on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Rail-
way, near Barnsley. Henry Addey, station-master at
Dovecliffe Station' when in the act of opening a gate
which shuts off the passenger traffic from Howland-
Nether, was struck by the engine of a coal train, and so
seriously injured that he died in about an hour afterwards.
It is stated that the signals were off. The deceased had
opened one gate, and was trying to open the other,
e whento
the engine came upon him. The pelvis was shatter
pieces, and the ribs on the right side, with few exceptions,.h
were broken. Deceased had hedenhaidnhotehne

THE limn QUARTER SEsSIONS.—Mr. Johnston,
•t Q.O Chairman, of County Down Quarter Sessions, in
y
qualify in.- mat 11 the
ens y
opening the sessions for the Newtownards division of the
county, made observations
remarks he had made at Downpatrick a few days before
with reference to the large number of ejectment_ actions.
He now says that when he made these observations he
was apprehensive that it might be the opening scene of
that ligitation between landlord and tenant which some
people foreboded would be the result of the New Land
Act, and which•might naturally affect the kindly-feelings
which happily existed between landlord and tenant in
this county ; but, when he came to know the cases they
turned out •to be the ordinary class of ejectment, most of
them being for non-payment of rent. Mr. Johnston
added that he was glad to be enabled to congratulate the
grand jury on the fact that there was not a single criminal
case for trial. The Chairman of Antrim has also had a
maiden sessions at Ballymena.
