WORK FOR THE SOLDIER.

We would again direct the attention of those who take
an interest in the well-being, both moral and physical, of
the British soldier to the happy results that have been
obtained in India from employing him in the execution of
certain engineering works, such as road-making and the
like. The following figures speak for themselves, more
especially when it is remembered that the working parties
chiefly consisted of men who had been suffering from
maladies of various sorts, and who had been sent to the
hills, for the re-establishment of their health. The average
number of men employed during each six months has
been '4,640, the average under hospital treatment being
but 3 per cent. The death-rate was 8.18 per 1,000; but
in this were included those who were acci-
dentally killed and those who were not sent to
the hills until all probability of recovery from
long-contimied illness was past. The true average death-
rate per dinum was but 4'3 per I,ooo—a minimum of
mortality never previously approximated to in India, and
hardly ever reached even in a more healthy clime. No
casualties occurred from cholera, heat, asphyxia, diarrhoea,
or liver complaint; while but three men died from fever
and one from dysentery. Now, would it not be possible to
devise some system of military labour here in England
which, without entering into competition with the free
labourer, might bring about results similar to those so
happily attained in India ? Surely a scheme of the sort
might be organised by which soldiers would be so employed
that their bodily health would be improved, their minds
made more content, and their strength and energy
utilised to the advantage of the commonwealth
as well as of themselves. Enforced idleness is equally as
bad for the body as for the mind, and of this we have far
too much in our present system of military discipline.
If, instead of the present dreary routine of deadly dull
drill, from which no one can escape during the whole
course of his service be he as perfect a machine
when in the ranks as can be imagined—if, instead of
this, we set him to some work which would interest
his mind while it exercised his body, he would surely
become a better man and a better soldier. To those mili-
tary philanthropists who desire to benefit in a lasting
manner the British soldier, we reccommend this problem

diery in England without interfering with the free-labour

amid the morasses and mountains in the northern
corner of their territory, and, here the allies were

baffled for fifteen months.

Greater numbers,

infinitely superior organisation, and the utter
prostration of the Paraguayans have brought
on the inevitable end. The final hunt down

3f the Dictator was commenced late in December by
General Camara, and ended in this last battle or
.ather skirmish, in which Lopez chose death
.ather than captivity. So closes the first
ragulArly organised war ever fought in South
America. In its causes and motives it was not,
parhaps, creditable to any of the contending parties.
In its conduct it was creditable to all. The Brazilians
carried on a difficult war, several hundred miles from
their basis of operations, with great skill and persever-
ance. The Paraguayans opposed them with a fortitude

and self-sacrifice, which render this contest one of ex-

ceptional brilliancy. If the rulers of Brazil refrain
from pushing forward their conquests for the mere

sake of aggrandizement if they throw open the

THE PAWNBROKING BILL.

Mr. R. Attenborough, of Piccadilly, contributes his
views to the Daily Telegraph on the new Pawn-
broking Bill. He supposes a case. The favourite
example, he says, is the flat iron hypothecated for
sixpence, and redeemed every day of the week by
payment of one penny, that is to say, cent per cent. for
the week, at 5,000 per cent. per annum. Rapacious
scoundrel, exclaims the philanthropist ! If this same
outraged philanthropist, says Mr. Attenborough,
were to try his hand af investing his capital on these
terms, and working it himself, he would soon alter his
tone. Suppose he did a roaring trade, and
had 500 such transactions per diem, that
is to say 500 pence, or £2 ls. Bd., come
in daily. Let him, says the writer, take a house in
a decent thoroughfare, pay rent and taxes, keep him-
self, wife, family, and two or three assistants,
comply exactly with the Act of Parliament, ask each
customer where he or she lived, and whether they
are housekeepers or lodgers, and send after a fourth of
these customers to ascertain if they had given a right
address. Within a month the philanthropist would lose
a stone avoirdupois and a lot of money besides. The
honest truth is, he says, that with the present cost
of house-rent and taxes, to say nothing of the style
of housekeeping which must be maintained where
young men are employed, and the vexatious provi-
sions of the Act of Parliament to be complied with, no
transaction for which a penny is taken leaves a
profit.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING.

UNSECTARIAN EDUCATION,

The Times thinks it is impossible to prescribe an un-
sectarian education by Act of Parliament. It is probable
that the desireS of many of those who have clamoured for
it would be satisfied if a rough-and-ready order Were
issued, "No parson in the schools," hut they have
been ashamed of so palpable a confession of their
secret wishes. A conscience clause, a time-table
conscience clause, no catechisms or formulas' the
Bible without note or comment,- -these are the device.;
that have been suggested, among many, to insure the un-
sectarian character of the schools contemplated by the
bill. We talk of driving a coach and four through an Act
of Parliament, but as for these guarantees of unsec-
tarianism, a resolute teacher could drive any sectarian
creed he pleased through the whole of them. If religion
is forced into a corner, it is apt to become virulent ; if
we banish public and recognised text-books, we open
the way to the unchecked liberty of private teaching.
Mr. Disraeli was perfectly right wheli he talked of the
new order of sacerdotalism of schools teachers. The
school mistress who taught her pupils, " Two and
one make three, except in the case of the Trinity," com-
bined religion and arithmetic in a formulary of her own
construction. Those who trust to the clauses of an Act
of Parliament, or even to the supervision of the Privy
Council, for the security of unsectarianism rely upon
broken reeds.

THE CUSTOMS REVENUE.

It is noticeable that the total amount of customs'
duties received in Great Britain has been remarkably
uniform during the last thirty years. Imports and
exports have increased enormously; but the duties
levied on them yield almost exactly the same sum.
In 1840 the Custom House collected a revenue of
about £23,300,000. In 1869 the total was nearly
£22,000,000. During the interval the largest yield
was nearly twenty-four and three-quarter millions—
in 1859; and the smallest about £21,600,000, which
occurs in several years. The deviations throughout
are very trifling. The reason is that although the
tendency of late years has been wholly in the direc-
tion of reducing or abolishing duties, yet the expan-
sion of trade in those articles which are still liable
has kept up the balance. A few taxed articles now
yield as much as did a large number a few years
ago.

ARRIVAL OF THE EXPRESS.

The Express, which left Lagos for Liverpool on Feb-
°llaryl2, and on which twenty guineas had been paid, has
arrived, all well, in the Mersey.

AN ABANDONED VESSEL.

The schooner Sappho, Marrish master, arrived at
Penzance yesterday from Montevideo. She fell in with
ah abandoned barque, of 1,000 tons burthen, in latitude
43 deg. 30 rain. North, longitude 24 deg. 40 min. West.
Rer fore and mizen masts were standing ; the shrouds
Were on each mast. The east-side bulwarks and stan-
chions were gone amidships ; both anchors were on the
rail. The captain of the Sappho could not board her,
learn her name or cargo. She appeared to have been
boarded.

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF A SOLICITOR.
Within the last few days considerable excitement has
been caused at Deddington, near Banbury, in consequence
ef the disappearance of Mr. Henry Churchill, solicitor.
It appears that Mr. Churchill left Deddington on Wed-
nesday, the Bth inst., as it was supposed, for the purpose
of going to London ; but he has not since been
beard of, although every inquiry has been made
48 to his whereabouts. Mr. Churchill filled the
following offices : Clerk to the magistrates of the North
Wootten Division of Oxfordshire, one of the commoners
of the county, agent for the estates of W. C. Cartwright,
M.P. for Oxfordshire ; clerk to several public
boards, treasurer to the Deddington Penny B. nk, and
also to the Friendly Society ; he was also joint clerk to
the magistrates of the Banbury and Bloxham Division,
and had a large and lucrative practice as a solicitor.

THE FENIAN RAID.

Alluding to the American comments on the Fenian
Canadian raid, the Freeman says, " By all means let the
offenders be punished, but supposing an American jury
would find them guilty, the punishment would be only
three months' imprisonment for violating the neutrality
laws. In the present temper of Americans, and we
include our own countrymen, there can be little doubt
but that, if the General were brought to trial, he would
be convicted. The punishment, so slight, would do good,
and for our part we should not be sorry to see the Bogus
commander enjoying self-meditation for six months."

COLONIAL JUDGES.

correspondence respecting the removal and sus-
pension of colonial judges has been presented to the
Houses of Parliament, in which a question of some
importance is dealt with. In 1868 a public meeting
was held in Singapore, when a resolution, was passed
calling attention to the unconstitutional power pos-
sessed by the Governor of suspending any judge of
the Supreme Court, and urging that the existence of
such a power was most injurious to the
administration of justice. The resolution was
embodied in a petition, and presented to
the Duke of Buckingham, the then Secretary for
the Colonies, who, in acknowledging the receipt of
the petition, admits the importance of the question.
His grace denies, however, that any argument can be
possibly drawn from the analogy of England :—" I
am far from undervaluing the knowledge and ability
of Colonial judges and lawyers," says the Duke of
Buckingham, "but it is evident that no lawyer can
be advanced to a place on the English Bench without
a professional trial longer and far more severe than
that which would qualify him for a colonial appoint-
ment; and that an English judge performs his func-
tions under the eye of a numerous and well-educated
bar, with the assistance and under the correction of
colleagues who are among the first lawyers of the
world, and subject to the observation of a critical and
well-informed press." Lord Chelnisford's observa-
tions upon the matter are that in all cases, except
those of judicial indiscretion or indecorum, the sus-
pension of ajudge should be left in the first instance
to the governor of the colony, subject to an appeal to
the Queen in council. In this opinion Lord Chelms-
ford is supported by Dr. Lushington, the late
judge of the Admiralty, and the Right Hon. Sir E.
Ryan.

A destructive fire broke out last night at a spinning

The fire originated at a breaker machine, but the cause
cannot be explained. The supply of water was very
defective, owing to the recent drought, and in two hours
from the commencement of the fire the building was
totally destroyed. The damages, which are estimated at
between 22,000 and £3,000, will be met by insurance.'

THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL.
A meeting of Nonconformists was held in Leeds last
night respecting the Government amendments on the
Education Bill. The Mayor of Leeds presided, and said
he thought the bill was now worse than it was before. A
resolution was passed expressing an opinion that the
amendments were inadequate, and that religious instruc-
tion should be provided by voluntary effort only, but
that rather than postpone legislation, it would be better
to accept Bible teaching without denominational tenetes
subject to a time-table conscience clause. The motion was
supported by several speakers and opposed by, Mr.
Frederick Baines, brother of Mr. Baines, M.P., and
others. The Rev. E. Conder said that he would rather
that the Government should lay down what was to be
taught as religion than that they should exclude religion.
The resolution was carried with only a few dissentients.
It was also resolved that school boards ought to be estab-
lished in every district, and that it should be imperative
on them to enforce attendance.

A meeting of Protestant Nonconformists was held in
Liverpool, yesterday, when a resolution was adopted re-
cognising the value of the amendments proposed by Mr.
Forster to be introduced into the Elementary Education
Bill, and also of the willingness manifested by Mr. Glad-
stone in his statement to the House of Commons last
night, to adopt further modification.

A terrible accident has occurred on the branch line
°I the Great Northern Railway from Spalding to
Bourne. A farm labourer, named John Horse-

ing the line in a oast just as a train was due. The
horse became restive whilst Horsepool was unlocking the
gate, and in endeavouring to get it clear of the line the
'thin came up, and the man, lad, and horse were caught by
and dragged under the engine. The man was killed
instantly, as was also the horse, and the poor lad died
about three hours afterwards, The jury have acquitted

SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE.

A telegram received at South Shields on Thursday an-
nounces that the screw steamer John Dryden, of North
Shields, belonging to Nelson, Donks, and Co., of that
town, had been wrecked off the coast of Abyssinia. The
crew were all saved, but it is believed that her cargo of cot-
ton, valued at £lOO,OOO, and also the vessel, is lost. The
vessel was returning from Bombay, when in consequence of
her coals running short, she tried to make for the port of
Hushatoon, but was driven ashore. This vessel was built
recently at Stockton. Both vessel and cargo are insured,
principally in the London clubs, but only partially in the
north. Intelligence has also been received that the
barque Newbiggen, of North Shields, was burned in
the Sea of Marmora last Sunday. It is stated the crew
are saved.

THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS.

The answer of Mr. Gladstone to Sir James
Elphinstone's question with reference to the arrest of
Mr. Edmunds gives anything but satisfaction to that
gentleman's sympathisers. The Premier justifies
what has been done "under the authority of the
law" by stating that the Crown is not expressly
named in the Debtors' Act of 1869, and he therefore
leaves it to be understood that as Mr. Edmunds is a
debtor of the crown, and not of a subject of the
crown, he suffers imprisonment in person
London, England, 1870-06-18

MR. EDMUNDS.

The case of Mr. Leonard Edmunds has, says the
Standard, twice been before Mr. Justice Wiles, and
twice his lordship has taken time to consider whether the
Clerk of the Patents has been properly arrested. But the
very fact that the matter is so doubtful that one of our
ablest judges feels himself in so much difficulty as to how
he ought to decide it is sufficient to condemn the pre-
cipitancy with which the Government has chosen to
avail itself of a questionable right, in order to
crush an inconvenient opponent. Mr. Edmunds's
position is that of a debtor against whom a successful
plaintiff has obtained a judgment. Only by contending
that it had engaged a servant at a salary of less than no-
thing could the Crown maintain that it was entitled to
succeed, and only by holding Mr. Edmunds to the
hardest letter of his bond could it win a victory
which was more damaging than a defeat, inasmuch
as both employer and employed had acted on a
contrary supposition for the many years during
which the dismissed clerk had vainly tried to have
his accounts audited- Even supposing the Crown's right
to incarcerate its debtor to remain unaffected by recent
legislation, there was no reason in the world for resorting
to it until after the pending action for libel had been
tried, for a debtor who cannot pay his debts ought not to
publicly branded as little better than a heinous criminal,
and then deprived of his liberty just as he is endeavouring
to vindicate his reputation.

91111 E ILLUSTRATED _NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward :Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of tb;': perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The worlc
is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts,' in covers, at ls. ed. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
siukny.rare specimens."—Standard.

"The completion of Mr. irewm—an' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. • . . • We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

no THUNDERSTORM.

A very heavy storm of thunder and lightning passed
over Cambridge on Thursday, and continued for several
hours. The lightning was unusually vivid, and several
fires were occasioned thereby in the neighbourhood. An
old malt-house, situated about nine miles from Cambridge,
was burnt down. Several fires were caused by the
electric fluid at Swavesley and other places in the locality.
The scene for about three hours was one of extraordinary
grandeur.

EXHIBITIONS.

Next year the first of a series of annual interna-
tional exhibitions will commence. They will be the
result of the Great Exhibition of 1851, as the Com-
missioners of that undertaking invested the surplus
in such a manner as to promote at some future period
the establishment of permanent exhibitions. The
Commissioners have profited by the experience of past
years, and propose to make an international exhibi-
tion a permanent institution of the country. Space
will be economised by grouping the various indus-
tries, and taking some of them each year.
Restrictions will be placed on the con-
ditions under which exhibits are received.
The Commissioners seek to carry out the
purpose of the Prince Consort in promoting the first
Exhibition, by bringing art and industry into close
alliance. The Americans have adopted the same
idea in their scheme to open an Industrial Exhibi-
tion in New York in 1872. It is to be erected in
much the same style as the Crystal Palace at Syden-
ham. Its pecuniary success will, it is expected, be
great. The edifice will be one of the finest struc-
tures in the city, and may prove one of
its most attractive features. Besides this undertaking
the American Institute Fair for 1870 will shortly be
held in New York. The exhibition will be divided
into seven departments, each of which will
contain seven groups, including departments
of fine arts and education, chemistry and
mineralogy, &c. In addition to the usual premiums,
there will this year be a medal of honour awarded to
the inventor of some novelty, never before exhibited
at the Institute fairs, in the way of machine, product,
or process which can supplant every article previously
used for accomplishing the same purpose, and work a
favourable revolution in some branch of the useful
arts.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD A SCHOONER.

On Thursday the schooner Zephyr, of Durham, laden
with gas coals, and lying in Sunderland Dock, blew up.
The hatches had been battened down ready for sea, and
only a cabin boy was left on board. The gas had accu-
mulated in the cabin, and when the boy went in the ex-
plosion occurred. The cabin was literally blown to
'pieces, the decks were blown up, the main-boom broken,
and great damage was done. The boy was blown twenty
yards from the vessel into the water, and was picked up
with his head partially blown off. He died soon after.

MAZZINI AND GARIBALDI.

The Roman correspondent of the Tablet says that a dis-
sension between Mazzini and Garibaldi is said to be the
cause of the halt in the revolutionary plans. Garibaldi
will not leave Caprera, and will hear of nothing
save an attack on Rome at any cost or hazard.'
Mazzini, on the contrary (as in 1867), says the hour
for Rome has not yet come, and insists on beginning
with the destruction of the Italian monarchy. Mazzini is
also at issue with most of the revolutionary committees on
account of their rapacity, their hatred of order and low vice.
followers are almost all young enthusiasts of the stu dent
class, and workmen who accept his theories blindly and hold
him to be a prophet. Garibaldi is, however, far more popu-
lar in Italy, where Mazzini's idealism is at a discount, and
where the far quattrini" theory is the " primum mobile"
of the greater part of his followers. An expedition on
Rome, therefore, and prospects of " looting" the churches
and convents, are far more easily understood than the
Utopian theories of the old conspirator of Lugano. A
reconciliation is, however, en train, and will be very dan-
gerous to the peace of Italy this autumn.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT MAIDENHEAD.

On Thursday a coachman and his wife and a groom, in
the employment of Sir William Clayton, were proceeding
in a trap from Marlow to Ascot, when the horse took
fright on the Marlow•road, and started off at full gallop.
The coachman was immediately thrown out, and his
leg was broken. The horse, still continuing his flight,
rushed at great speed through the town of Maidenhead,
and came in contact with a horse and trap which was
standing at the door of Dr. Montgomery's house. The trap
was torn from the shafts, and the horse, whose head
was dashed against the stone=work under the rails, was
killed on the spot. At this point the coachman's wife
was thrown out of Sir William Clayton's trap, and
was dreadfully cut about the face and head. The
horse still continued on its course at full gallop, until
he got to Queen-street, where he dashed into Messrs.
Mason and Neat's auction mart, smashing the plate-glass
window in that establishment. The groom, who kept his
hold up to this point, was then thrown out, and was
severely injured. The horse was stopped at last, but not
before he had kicked the trap to pieces. Those who were
injured by the accident are progressing favourably.

THE ENGLISH LADY DOCTOR.

The reception of Miss Elizabeth Garrett into the
Society of the Paris Faculty has been rendered quite
an important event in the annals of the medical
association. Several friends and relatives of the lady
practitioner witnessed her taking the diploma, and
as it was the first time that a lady has graduated
as a member, large numbers of the medical men of
Paris, and many other spectators attended. Miss
Garrett, it is said, wore the traditional gown and
bands usually worn by the men on the occasion of their
admission as members. She looked very well in the
dress, and seemed especially pleased when the judges
expressed the sympathy and respect which all
those who were present felt for her efforts in being
one of the first ladies who had come forward to
practice the healing art and to benefit suffering
humanity. On Miss Garrett leaving the hall, the
young students present became quite enthusiastic,
and she was loudly cheered and gallantly bowed to
by them as she stepped from their presence.
