PRESENT FROM THE POPE.

His Holiness, Pius IX. is not like many of those
hereditary princes for whom he entertains such pro-
found affbction. He is mindful of his friends. 'We
have all heard how carefully he attended to the
wants of the American lady who asked first for his
portrait, then for his autograph, then for the pen with
which he wrote it, aild was at last gratuitously pre-
sented with the inkstand also. Mr. Tweed, of Glasgow,
has received a more complimentary gift. He is the
publisher of a curious volume, entitled "The Catholic
History of Scotland," a copy of which he forwarded
:;Jo his Holiness Pio Nono ; and, in return, he has
been presented with a solid gold medal, of very con-
siderable value, having a medallion portrait of the
Pope upon it, exeted with great artistic beauCx?
and adorned with appropriate insignia. In this carefiil
attention to his most humble supporters, the Pqpe
4.isplays one of the qualities of a great mind.

MOTES AND MALARIA.

The question of the composition of the air
we breathe is rendered very interesting by the
instructive way in which it is dealt with by Dr.
George Sigerson, F.L.S. As the result of his micros-
copic researches he has read a paper before the Royal
Irish Academy, illustrated by diagrams representing the
objects to be found in the " sea-breeze, the " coun-
try air," and the " city air." The former naturally
contains particles of salt, which, when crystalised,
float in minute atoms through the air by the sea-
side. Salt, being a mild stimulant, though irri-
tating and injurious in some kinds and stages of
diseases of the eye and lungs, may be very useful in
others. The " country air " contains the " pollen "
of tha daisy and other flowers, and "spores" of
fungus and other" plants. The air, too; is
full of animal matter, such as the exuvire
of minute caterpillars, and scales of moths,
and such like. There is a possible connection of
tome of these objects with lung disease, and it is
known that knifegrinders, millstone-makers,
and cotton-workers frequently suffer from lung
disease occasioned by the dust to which they are
exposed. The ordinary dust is caused by
the wearing away of the earth and the objects on it.
In the country the wind sweeps the roads and fields,
and forms a dust of powdered clay and stone. In
towns, particles of soot mix with other matter. The
" city-air "is impregnated with all kinds of hurtful
carbon, which may account for the absence of ruddy
features in the inhabitants of large manufacturing
towns.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

An Important change has been agreed upon between
the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the directors of
the Bank of England respecting the National Debt.
The dividends to the fundholders are to be paid quar-
terly, and for this purpose the New Three per Cents
and the Reduced will be converted into Consols,
a certain premium being offered to induce
the holders of those stocks to consent. What this
premium will ultimately be is a matter of detail, re-
maining, to some extent, to be settled. The directors
conferred with some of the leading members and mag-
nates of the Stock Exchange, amil their conclusion
was that though nobody in particular seemed to
want a quarterly dividend, yet it might be conve-
nient to some, and. could not be incon-
venient to any. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
also suggested another great change—that the
Consols should be separated into three classes, having
as many sets of quarter days—the one in January,
April, July, and October ; the second in February,
May, and so on ; and the third in March, June,
and the rest; so that the dividends might be
paid at twelve dates distributed throughout the
year. This, however, the directors opposed, on
the ground that it would cause a great increase of
work to the Bank, and—what is much more impor-
tant—would produce three quotations for Consols,
and thus destroy the simple character of the
great national stock. Mr. Lowe likewise
suggested other changes, to wit, that no one
should be allowed to hold less than £3O
in the funds, and that sums below that figure
be transferred to the Post Office Savings Bank. This
proposition was opposed on the ground that such
holdings were an advantage and a privilege which
ought not to be withheld. The scheme fell to the
ground, as also did a proposal for a "century stock"—
running only for a hundred years, and being con-
verted from Consols at the rate of 110 for every 100.

MR. WARD HUNT ON THE "ST. STEPHEN'S

PACK."
Mr. F. Ward Hunt, M.P., attended a dinner at North-
ampton on Thursday evening, in honour of Mr. Anstruthes
Thomson, late master of the Pytchley hounds. Mr. Hunt
said he was not a very familiar person in Northampton-
shire hunting-fields. He had lately been hunting with a
different pack to the Pytchley—ho alluded to the St.
Stephen's pack. (Laughter.) The St. Stephen's pack hunted
over a very stiff country, and he had seen some very ugly falls
on it. Still, the St. Stephen's country had some attrac-
tions. For instance, no frost ever stopped the hounds
from going to cover, and there were very few blank days.
The St. Stephen's pack must certainly possess great attrac-
tions, for, although he had never seen all the borough and
county members of Northamptonshire at any meet
of the Pytchley hounds, yet the St. Stephen's pack
managed to attract all those gentlemen. The St. Stei-
-1 phen's pack had lately had a change of mastership, last year
being the first season under the new master. Not only was
there a new master last year, but there was also an entirely
new pack of hounds; and he (Mr. Hunt) thought that
some of the dogs had been at the ratting business.
He should not like to give his opinion as to the way
the St. Stephen's pack hunted last season, but the new
master was exceedingly well satisfied with the performance
of his hounds, and said that, at all events, they had had one
very good run over a severe country, and that they had killed
their fox. Some critics, however—and he (Mr. Hunt) was
among the number—said that the master lifted his hands too
much, and if the hounds did not go away at once to the
scent the whips werevery severe upon them. At the first
meet this season—and the St. Stephen's pack commenced
its season in February—he had seen a remarkable impor-
tation from the Tipperary kennel, but he was happy to
learn at the cover side that the master intended to draft
that importation.

THAMES.

A DISHONEST " CHARWOMAN."—StISaIIHah Colley,
aged 17, who was described as a charwoman, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a
large quantity of property belonging to Mr. Edwd.
Barnard, a mariner, of Coborn-terrace, Bow-road.
A few weeks since the prisoner was charing for
another person in the house where Mr. Barnard was
residing, and while he was there with his wife they
were continually missing all kinds of articles, until,
said Mr. Barnard, there was nothing more to steal,
and then it was time to make a noise about it.
The prisoner on her first examination considered
she was a very ill-used person, because she had
taken " a few paltry things" of Mr. Barnard's,
and pawned and sold them; but Mr. Paget said
she was charged with felony, with stealing the
property, and that it was a serious offence, on
which she exclaimed, " Fylony I stealing ! oh, no."
Adolph Patta, a watchmaker, purchased a brooch
which he produced.
The Prisoner—Yes, he gave me 6d. for it.
Susan Matthews, of Gloucester-street, Commer-
cial-road, said the prisoner sold her a coral neck-
lace five weeks ago. She gave her 2s. for it.
The Prisoner—No, you gave me ls. 9d. for it,
and owed the remainder.
Mr. Barnard said the brooch, valued at 108.,
and the necklace at 135., were his property.
He saw them three weeks before they were

mused.
James Howlett, a detective police-constable of
the division, said that when he arrested the pri-
soner he admitted stealing all the things.
The prisoner—No, I said I took them.
John Clark, an assistant to Mr. Reeves, a pawn-
broker, 189, Mile-end-road, said that he received a
chemise, a pillow, a corduroy jacket, and two
pillow cases from the prisoner six weeks ago.
The prisoner—I asked is. 6d. upon them, and
you only lent me a 'shilling. I have lost the
ticket.

Mr. Barnard owned the four articles produced,
and various other things " taken" by the prisoner.
She would not admit stealing anything.
Mr. Barnard—Everything of mine and my wife's
in the house is gone. nisi charwoman, asshe calls
herself, has made a good haul.

The prisoner said she would plead guilty. She
was very sorry, and would not do so again.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a most impudent
thief, and was continually robbing Mr. and Mrs.
Barnard. I{' sentenced her to four months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

THREATENING LETTERS IN IRELAND.

Of the numerous landowners in that pleasant abode
of safety and comfort, the other side of St. George's
Channel, who have lately received intimations that
they will be shot at the first opportunity if they fail
to comply with most outrageous demands, some have
given in disheartened, and others have shown to the
dastards who write these letters a noble attitude
of scorn. Amongst the latter we notice the case of
a lady, Mrs. Tottenham, of It ochfort, Westmeath,
who is described as a kind and liberal employer; and
yet comes under the category of those whom some
secret society has Oco.nod to death. In the letter
threatening this lady she is brutally told that " You
are the next on the list after the old agent next door,
and when you hear of him being shot look sharp.'
Mrs. Tottenham at once made up her mind. She
summoned her tenants and informed them that if
information was not at once afforded of the writer of
the letter she would break up her whole estAliih-
ment and dismiss them all. Such revere
lessons as this will have the effect of
causing attempts to intimidate employers to
recoil upon the heads of the perpetrators. Another
gross case of ingratitude is that of the threatening
of Captain Smith Barry, of Ballyedmond, County
Cork. If he were not the kindest of landlords, he
would spend his income in another country, and
let the scores of people who depend on him for
their daily bread seek for it elsewhere.

THE LATE SIR WILLIAM GORDON.

" Gordon of Gordon's Battery" is a familiar name
m the story of the Crimean war, and many of the
events of the life of Sir William Gordon, before his
brain succumbed to the malady which was the cause
of his sad end, are well worthy of notice. Forty
years have passed since he was first gazetted to a com-
mission in the Royal Engineers. His earlier military
days were chiefly remarkable for the care and atten-
tion he gave to study, and to the minutest details
of his profession. He possessed strong religious sen-
timents, which took the somewhat gloomy form of
Calvinism. When a captain he took his company to
Bermuda, to commence the vast works which are at
this day still going forward. He considered it a
strict part of a soldier's duty to practice athletic
exercises ; and rowing, swimming, and running were
his daily habits. At the outbreak of the Russian
war, his powers and character being now known to
his superiors, he was named for one of the first de-
tachments of Engineers sent to the East. Deadly
sickness and the chances of war caused Gordon
to find himself in a short time in sole
command of the Engineers of our army, and when the
bitter winter fell on the Allies, and the Engineers'
duty became heavier as their numbers grew less, he
then shewed what a gift in war is physical endur-
ance combined with energy. He breathed his spirit
into all around him, mid from his callousness to the
shot and shell constantly falling in the trenches, he
received the soubriquet of " Old Fireworks."
A more devoted soldier than Sir William Gordon,
England has seldom, if ever, had, and it is sad indeed
that Nature should thus have avenged herself on a
hero by prompting him to commit an act that ho
himself, when in his right miud, would above all
others have condemned.

XXTRAORDINARY TERMINATION."

It is, indeed. Some little time ago the St. Pan-
cras guardians declared that Dr. Ellis, the medical
officer of the parish, was responsible for the disgrace-
ful state of the workhouse infirmary, that he had, in
fact, so arranged matters as to bring about that
result. An inquiry into this charge was set on foot
by the Poor Law Board. One accusation was not,
however, thought sufficient to uphold the credit of
the guardians, and accordingly another was made—
to wit, that Dr. Ellis had been guilty of improper con-
duct with one of the infirmary nurses. It is the inquiry
into this charge that has come to this " extraordinary
termination." The guardians refused to employ legal
advice, affirming that the accusation was not made by
them, but by the nurse herself. They, therefore, did
not intend to incur legal expenses. It also turns out
that the nurse has disappeared, no one knows whither,
and thus the case falls through. It is another
remarkable example of the St. Pancras style of
doing business. The guardians refused to take legal
assistancce, because they did not prefer the charge.
But they sanctioned it, and save for them it would
never have come before the public.

PEOPLE'S BANKS IN GERMANY

The truserer Zeit gives a description of the Gel man
banks established by Hermann Schulze-Delitsch, which
are calculated to promote the interests of the working
classes. The people's bank develops habits of thrift and self-
dependence in the artisan, and the system is based upon the
principle of self-help. The scheme works well, and the last
annual report testifies to its success. During the last few years
popular banking has greatly increased in Germany, and
Schulze-Delitzsch has every right to expect that in ten
years more still more flourishing statistics will be met
with. The consciousness of areserve fund would confer the
greatest advantages upon the lower classes,and preserve them
from many of the evils attendant on the stoppage of work.
At the same time theywould have an inducement to save
their money in prosperous times, instead of wasting their
resources in the beer shop. It requires a great exercise of
self-denial for the workman to deposit a few groschen

drawing out his money, for no advances in time of need
are made, unless he can furnish the security of two fellow

THE TREATY OF PRAGUE.

In referring to the statement that the French Minister
for Foreign affairs has informed the Prussian Government
of the determination of France to uphold the treaty of
Prague, the Patrie says that , the Cabinet will
not permit the violation of that convention,
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to
have spoken 'in that sense in the interview which
he has had with the German representative. The Monde,
on the other band, maintains that the Treaty of Prague
does not bear the signature of France, and she has no right
to demand its execution. She has not carried out her own
treaties, and cannot comistently interfere in those which
relate to the affairs of Germany.

THE FEDERAL DEBTOR'S LAW.

The North German Correspondent refers to the Case of
the Englishman who has been confined in the debtor's
prison at Homburg, although imprisonment for debt has
been abolished through the North German Confederation.
It explains the apparent inconsistency by saying that per-
sonal arrest is still permitted when the circumstances are
such that legal proceedings cannot be otherwise begun or
continued, nor an execution levied on the property of the
debtor. When the person or the goods of a foreigner are
seized at the suit of a native of the country, the legal
requirement of risk and loss to be apprehended is assumed
as proved by the fact of the debtor being a foreigner. These
provisions of the federal Debtors' Law are founded on
reason and equity.

TURKEY.

The Levant Herald states that the Porte is in negotia-
tion with a foreign house for the establishment of tele-
graphic communication between Constantinople and
the islands of the Ottoman Archipelago. The
same journal announces that the Porte has
agreed to forego its claim on the Khedive's
needle guns, as the Khedive showed some anxiety to keep
them. The armour-clads which he ceded to the Sultan
have been sent to Constantinople from Toulon.

Five hundred Catholic Armenians have held a meeting
in Constantinople at which they signed a declaration
repudiating the spiritual jurisdiction of the Patriarch
Hassoun, and requesting the Porte to designate churches
in which they may freely exercise their religion.

THE TELEGRAPH MISHAP.

The bungling of a workman was not the only
agent in bringing about the telegraphic suspension,
which proved so troublesome during the first few
days of the week. At the end of a tunnel on the
Great Western Railway all the wires were found
severed, and some of them banging ei,3Wll to the
ground. The position was so difficult of access as to
scarcely warrant the imputation of foul play. The
break-down may have arisen from the expansion of
the wires by the steam issuing from the tunnel after
the passing trains, or from contraction through the
severe frost, or first the contraction and then the
expansion may have produced the effect. Such an
accident, however, never occurred before, and it i 3
auspicious, to say the least.
PIM 'IODISE/IT Br,

The injured Church dignitaries are all hastening
to bestow their forgiveness upon Dr. Temple. Arch-
&acon Denison ratifies the treaty of peace,' by an-
nouncing that " I gladly withdraw the opposition to
the election of the Bishop of Exeter as Vice-President
of the Society for the Propagation, of the Gospel,
which I had proposed to make on Friday, the 18th
inst." Dr. Pusey also expresses his " deep satisfac-
tion." Things look so promising that Dr. Temple
might receive a benediction from the Greek Arch-
bishop without much danger.

THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.

An event in the histrionic world is worth mentioning.
She Stoops to Conquer" has been played one
hundred times at the St. James's Theatre, London.
This successful revival of Goldsmith's delightful
comedy is a fact that proves something about the
decline of interest in the " legitimate drama." It is
at any rate not altogether extinct. Probably some of
the " decline " is to be attributed to the fact that the
classical plays are not always well performed.

GENERAL 3IEDICAL COUNCIL•

A. special meeting of members of the General
Medical Council is summoned for the 24th inst., to
consider a communication received from the Lord
President of the Privy Council. This communicap
tion is understood to express the Lord President's
wish and readiness to co-operate with the General
Medical Council in legislating for the medical profes-
sion. It asks also whether the Council is prepared
to institute a single examining board iE each division
of the United. Kingdom by a voluntary union
of the examining bodies, or by giving the
Council compulsory legislative powers. for th pur-
pose. The Medical Times and Gazette says that the
Lord President's letter can have but a single meaning.
It is simply this—that if the medical corporations
and Universities will not sink their jealousies and
differences, and, renouncing selfish ends, terminate
" tho battle of the shops," and join in giving the
public and profession a uniform and high standard
of medical examination, the State will take the
business of examining and licensing medical practi-
tioners into its own hands.

RUSSIA IN CENTRAL ASIA

The 2Vation, a New York paper, has an article on the
progress of Russia in Central Asia. The Russians are
slowly, but carefully and surely, pushing forward their
outposts in that direction, to the great advantage, gays tha
.2Vh'ion, of civilisation; but their object, it believes, is to
develop the cultivation of cotton in that region, so as to
make Russian manufacturers independent of America.
The Asian market would not only be cheap, but would
give Russian an absolute monopoly in that direction, as it
is only over her soil that Central Asian products
would have any outlet. The great difficulty
is the lack of means of communication. It is
' now a two months' journey from Moscow to Turkes-
tan, and even longer than that for caravans. It is there-
fore proposed to turn the Amu Darin, which now flows
into the sea of Aral, back into the old bed, through which,
in ancient times, it ran into the Caspian. This would
give water communication from Moscow nearly to the foot
of the Himalayas, and Russian engineers are actually
making surveys for the purpose. The other difficulties are
monetary or social. The coins used in Turkestan are un-
known in Russia, and inconvertible at home, and there
are of course no banks. Then a firm at Moscow
sending out a venture cannot get news of it in less thanfour
months, and need not expect to touch their money under
a year's time, while the incessant political disturbances in
those regions cause sudden and violent fluctuations in the
value of goods from week to week. The exports to
Russia are nearly all cotton, but this trade suffers from
the uncertainty of prices, and the petty chiefs have
preserved the medival custom of levying tolls on
merchants. One trader on his way through Afghanistan
was made to pay toll eighteen times between Peshawur
and Karshi. The task which Russia has undertaken i'
not, therefore, without difficulty.
