ATTE3IPT TO POISON A FAMILY.

At the intermediate sessions held at Sheffield a young
man named Barker has been sentenced to five years' penal
servitude for attempting to poison his mother and sister.
Some few weeks ago Barker went to a chemist's and ob-
tained from him a packet of Battle's Vermin Killer, under
the plea that there was a large number of mice in
his house, and he wanted to destroy them. On the
following day, which was on a Sunday, ho went to his
father's house, and when he made his appearance there
his mother and sister were engaged in cooking the Sun-
day's dinner. Taking advanta3e of their temporary
absence from the kitchen, he put the vermin killer into
a saucepan in which a rabbit and a leg of mutton were
being cooked. Tho mother's attention was subsequently
attracted to the strange appearance of the water in the
saucepan, and both she and her daughter tasted it
to see what was the matter with it. The latter almost im-
mediately became sick, and, not knowing what had hap-
pened, but feeling convinced that something was wrong,
they wisely refused to allow the meat to be sent up for
dinner. The water was afterwards analysed by an analy-
tical chemist, and was found to contain a considerable
quantity of strychnine, of which Battle's Vermin Killer is
largely composed. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the
charge.

THE LANDED GENTRY.

Notes and Queries calls attention to some very
curious and interesting facts illustrating the con-
tinuance of the local influence of the landed gentry.
It gives a list of some fifty names, and shews that
in each case the same family which in 1040 sent
members to the Long Parliament has sent a member
how. An Ashton (Assheton) then, as now,

Knightley, Northampton ; a Lloyd, Cardigan ; a

It Parker, Suffolk ; a Russell, Tavistock ; and a
Whitmore, Bridgnorth. A Berkeley then repre-
sented Ilchester, and now Bristol ; a Buller, East

EDUCATION IN INDIA.

The statistics which have been recently published
respecting the state of education in British India are very
interesting. The difficulties in the way have been very
great, yet a good deal has been achieved. The expendi-
ture has been more liberal, and the number of establish-
ments and of teachers have naturally increased in
proportion. There are now three universities,
twenty-two colleges for general education, seventeen for
special education, and seven aided colleges, as well as a
number of Government and aided schools. The north-
west provinces have far the greatest number of schools
and scholars, the former amounting to 4,208, the latter to
152,533. Next on the list comes Bengal with its 2,908
institutions and 115,185 scholars. It is very encouraging
to find that the female pupils are over 48,000, notwith-
standing the terrible prejudices of the natives on the
subject. The results of the university examinations
afford some curious details. The universities themselves
are based on the model of the University of London. A
much higher proportion of candidates passed in Calcutta
than in Madras. Even in Calcutta, however, the study
of English proved a formidable difficulty, 1,067
candidates out of 2,557 failing in that language.
The principle adopted by the Government is that
of perfect religious neutrality ; and the medium of
instruction is to be given through the vernacular languages.
Those interested in the subject complain that sufficient
encouragement has not been given by the Government to
the female schools ; but this is a matter in which it is
doubtless necessary to proceed with care.

A NEW PROFESSORSHIP.

The late Dr. Whewell left, among other munifi-
cent bequests, a sum of money sufficient to pay £5OO
a year to a Professor of International Law. He
ilade this curious proviso, however, that whereas
other professors give certificates to those who attend
their lectures, the Professor of International Law
will not be entitled to his stipend unless he can pro-
duce from ten resident members of the university
certificates that they have attended at least ten of his
lectures during the year. This is carrying the principle
of payment for results to an extreme. Is the Professor
to tout for pupils ? Is he to go among the under-
graduates loitering in King's Parade, and to implore
them to hear him ? Is he to fee them for attending
his lectures and failing all other resources, to go out
into the highways and the hedges and to compel
men to come in ? It so happens that the
choice of a Professor has fallen upon Mr.
Vernon Harcourt, no doubt a most competent
man, yet about the last man who is likely to render
himself or his lectures attractive to undergraduates.
There is a story very current to the effect that six
gentlemen resolved that each of them would ask the
Least popular man of his acquaintance to a dinner for
twelve, and that when the guests assembled there
were found to be but seven, the six hosts having,
without concert, asked the same guest—" Historimict. '

DYNA9TIC NECUOMANCY.

The Tomahawk has successfully terminated an inquiry
which has, at least, the merit of being just a little more
promising than the research respecting the "Number of
the Beast." By the law of coincidences, the Emperor of
the French, who is the Tomahawk's especial aversion, mast
fall some time during the present year. The calculation
is managed thus : Louis Philippe came to the throne 01
1830, add to this number the sum of the figure!
composing the date of the Orleanist king's birth
1,7, 7,3, and the total is 1848—the date of TA°
Philippe's fall. Add to 1830 the date of his Queen's birth.,
1,7, 8,2, and the result is the same. Add the date of 1115
marriage, 1,8, 0,9, and still the total is 1848. So
Napoleon 111. He was elected Emperor in 180'
Add to this number the sum of the figures composing th°
date of his birth, 1,8, 0,8, and the total is clearly 1869.
Add the date of the Empress's birth, 1,8, 2,6, and .till
the total is 1869. The same is the result of adding the
date of their marriage, 1,8, 5, 3. The defect of this ill'
genious calculation seems to be that matrimony has s°
much to do with it. The Tomahawk would be at a 1058
dealing with a bachelor.

THE GALLEON TREASURE VENTURE.

The scheme for recovering the treasure from tue
Spanish galleons sunk in the bay of Vigo is attracting
some attention. " Mercator" has written to the
limes, stating that a similar project was formed
about the year 1825, when a ship named the Enter-
prise was sent out with divers, and a diving bell,
&c. The galleons were visited, but no trea-
sure was found. A few metal pots were fished
up, which proved on examination to be fine pewter,
and not silver, as supposed. One of the directors of
the " Galleon Treasure Venture (Limited)" has replied
to this statement, and says that the attempt referred
to is mentioned in Colonel Gowen's report which accom-
panies their prospectus. From this report it appears
that the appliances then in use were very inefficient.
and that the molern invention of submarine armour
enables the 'divers to examine every part of a sub-
merged vessel with facility. The director adds that
nine of the vessels have been discovered in deep
water and marked by buoys. The promoters of the
scheme are desirous of making all the facts public, so
that those who join the company may judge for
themselves what chance there is o: success.
Should they gain their end, they will set at rest an
important question—the feasibility of dealing with
vessels and their cargoes after they have been sub-
merged in the sea.

THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.

-
It appears that Mr. Cardwell has fully determined
to make an important reduction in the strength of
this force. As we have already mentioned, a return is
to be made of the whole of the non-commissioned officers
and the gunners who have completed twenty-one years'
service, and it is now added that this has been
ordered " with a view to their immediate discharge."
The names of the men whose characters do not jus-
tify commanding officers in recommending their
being retained in the Artillery are also to be for-
warded. The estimate for this corps shews a
decrease of £79,747 as compared with last year's.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The "estimate of the further sum required to be
voted towards defraying the expenses. of the expe-
dition to Abyssinia beyond the ordmayy g;anta of

Parliament for army ana navy servicesi- ainutuns
to no less than £3,000,000. The vote will be
moved for by Mr. Ayrton. £5,000,000 have been
already granted for the expedition, £2,000,000 by a
special vote and £3,000,000 by means of the extra
income tax. Thus the Abyssinian war, if the most
rapidly successful, will prove to have been (in pro-
portion to its duration) the most costly on record.

THE ROYAL TOUR IN EGYPT.

The Prince and the Princess of Wales have at length
met with royal weather. The wind and the wet which
welcomed their arrival in Egypt have given place toclear,
bright days, with a tendency to heat. The royal party
reached Thebes on the 16th, in perfect health, says a
correspondent of the Daily News, and a telegram has
informed us that they have passed the first cataract
of the Nile, and are proceeding to the second, which
is in the interior of Nubia. 'Of course the Pyramids will
not be *neglected, especially as donkey riding is no longer
necessary to reach them. The Suez Canal will likewise be

A RAILWAY TO INDIA.

The Calcutta correspondent of the Times reopens the
question of the Euphrates Valley Railway. Of course
direct land communication from Calcutta to Kurrachee—
the extreme west point of India—would be enormously
costly; but there are two intermediate schemes. The
traveller might journey by sea from Brindisi to
some point on the Levant, and a railway might be
constructed from this point to Aleppo, and thence down
the Euphrates valley. This would cost fifteen millions,
and the journey would occupy only fifteen days. But a
better and a cheaper scheme has been set on foot. A com
pany, with the guarantee of the Government, offers to
construct a line from Bushire, on the Persian Gulf, to the
south of the Caspian Sea for less than six millions. The
journey would then run from Kurrachee to Bushire by
sea ; from Bushire to the south of the Caspian by rail ;
from the south of the Caspian to Buku, a port on the
west, by sea ; from Buku to Poti, on the Black Sea, by
rail; and thence to Varna, Constantinople, or Odessa, by
sea. The short-water journeys would relieve the fatigue
of rail. The rapidly-advancing Russian railway system
will render this route available. London will then be
only twelve days distant from Kurrachee.

TIIE DEAN OF LICHFIELD.

It is not unlikely that Mr. Champneyr, who was
appointed to the Deanery of Lichfield on the death
of Mr. Howard last autumn, will resign his prefer-
ment; and return to his vicarage of St. Pancras.
When he was nominated to the deanery by Mr.
Disiaeli, it was understood that he might hold it
with the rectory of Tatenhill, as had been done by
the previous dean ; but an Act of Parliament
passed with regard to cathedrals, some years ago,
prevents him from taking the rectory and the
deanery without it is not worth more than £5OO a
Cear. For this he resigned a canonry in St. Paul's
athedral worth £l,OOO a year, but in consequence
of the six months' " leave," now nearly expired, still
-etains St. Pancras, which is said to be worth 21,500
a year. The canonry which he formerly held has
been already filled up, so that, under any circum-
stances, Mr. Uhampneys will lose £l,OOO a year by
his promotion. It remains to be seen if the Act for-
bidding the same person to hold a deanery and a
living will be enforced against Professor Jeremie,
Dean of Lincoln. This deanery is worth £2,000 a
year, so that there is even less excuse for pluralism
in his case than in that of Mr. Champneys.
