A bold but unsuccessful attempt was made by a
Belgian list-keeper to make profit out of the hostilities
between France and Prussia. On the arrival of the news
that war had been declared, an announcement appeared
in the windows of the office De Sport Gallerie du Roi to
the effect that by the desire of several influential sports-
men a list would be opened on the result of the first great
battle in the Franco-Prussian war ; the lowest stake 1
franc. Unforttmately for the speculator, the notice ex-
cited general indignation, and after an hour or two was
withdrawn by order of the police.
The absence of Scottish characters is a noticeable
feature in the works of Charles Dickens. No novelist of
the present day has abstained so regularly from sketching
Scottish men and women.

The Northern Doily Exin'ess, in an article on the
delay in the Government telegraphs, gives the following
illustration of how the wires are worked :—A telegram
giving the sentence of Cunningham, the Sunderland
forger, was sent by our reporter from Durham on Satur-
day,.to be in time for the first issue of our evening edition;
but it was not delivered until about two hours after he
had got to Newcastle, although he did not leave Durham
until half an hour after he despatched the message ! It
might have been brought on foot in less time than it took
to come by the telegraph, which is said to annihilate time
and space.
