MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

year MM. Dr. ti-uthrie TIM tnat neither rrtissia
nor any nation of the presentige first introduced this
principle. It was not only iscovered but initiated
300 years ago by John Knox That great man laid
it down that "no man of wiatsoever his estate be
shall be permitted of his owl phantasy to bring up
his children, but he shall be ,ompelled to give them
an education in learning ant virtue." Dr. Guthrie
thinks that no party will feelthe compulsory system
except those persons who are able, but not willing,
to pay. If the law allows aman's wages to be taken
for the purpose of supportiig an illegitimate child,
much more ought it to aloes a man's wages to be
taken for the purpose of edttating his own family.

ing failed to pass the Parliament of the North, broke
down also in the Prussian Chambers. The deficit in the
Prussian Budget is attributed to the refusal of the Federal
Parliament to impose fresh taxes. Herr Von der Heydt
made a similar attempt in the Prussian Chambers with the
same result. He is now reproached at head-quarters with
not having attempted a thorough reorganisation of the
Prussian financial system, and with not having sought relief
from the pressure in some other way than by the increase
of taxation. One thing appears certain :no Prussian
financier will be permitted to try the only method by
which, in the opinion of impartial observers, the equili-
brium of tho Budget can be secured—viz., the reduction of
the military expenses. Herr von Camphausen is said
to be the successor of Herr von der Heydt.

MAD METAPHORS.

Colonel the Hon C. 11. Lindsay, M.P., has dis-
tinguished himself. He has contrived to compress
into one sentence perhaps the greatest number of
incongruous metaphors ever collected into so small a
space. Whilst distributing prizes to the 4th Berks
Volunteers the respected member for Abingdon
delivered himself of the following remarkable
period :

I am rejoiced to find by the return which I hold in my
hand that new blood has been flowing into the arteries of
your rifle practice, and that the pulse of emulation has been
beating high in a new direction, by which means the old
and stereotyped groove of almost monopolised success has
been turned into another, by new and skilful marksmen,
proving thereby that there are as good fish in the sea as
ever came out of it.

New blood in the arteries of rifle practice, the pulse
of emulation, old and stereotyped groove, and fish in
the sea. It is pleasant to find that after such an aerial
flight, the versatile Colonel was able to get down to the
terra firma of fact. Although he differs from the
volunteer, policy of the last two or three Govern-
ments, he acquits them of any intentional delay in
serving out breech-loaders. The requirements of
the army have been great, but the turn of the
volunteers will come soon. The honourable member,
however, strongly resents the niggardly refusal of an
increase to the capitation grant—au increase which,
in his opinion, is much needed.

A HALFPENNY TAX ON MARRIED SOLDIERS.

The Lancet is scandalised and indignant at the fol-
lowing order issued from the War Office :

Extra bedding will be issued on the requisition of officers
commanding regiments or corps in the following propor-
tions—viz.: for a family of one or two children, one bed-
stead and a set of bedding complete; for a family of three
or more children, two bedsteads and a set of bedding A
charge of a halfpenny a day, for each set of bedding issued
will be made against the soldier for whose family the bed-
ding is supplied.

Our contemporary scornfully declares that taxpayers
do not want retrenchment after that hind; the
authorities, it says, are neither just nor logical.
Openly banish marriage altogether from the army,
and make it a crime for any soldier to marry; but do
not insist upon his first getting his commanding
officer's leave, on the plea that marriage is an indul-
gence for men of good character and long service,
and then practise such contemptible petty ways of
extricating halfpence out of his pocket. Bedding
ought to be issued to him in proportion to his require-
ments free of charge.

STRANGE CASE OP SENDING
THREATENING LETTERS.

On Friday, at the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Lush, Louis
Laumade, a Frenchman, was indicted for sending letters
threatening to kill Charles Osche. It se( me 1 that the prisoner
alleged that the prosecutor owed him some money, and
wrote from Paris in February last, stating that if tho
money was not paid he would kill Mr. Osche. In September
the prisoner came over to England, and went to Mr. Osche's
shop in Piccadilly, but that person was not in. He waited
several hours and refused to leave, and was ultimately
given into custody. When searched a six-bar-
relled revolver with five chambers, loaded
was found in his possession. For the defence it was
alleged that the accused could only read and write a little,
and though the signatures to the letters were his, not
being able to read he was not cognisant of the main
portion of the letters. It was also alleged
that Osche had been declared a bankrupt in Paris, and that
the prisoner had lost all his money by trusting to him.
He never meant to kill the prosecutor. The learned
judge laid down that it was sufficient for the case of the
prosecution if it was proved that the prisoner knew what
the letter contained, and that the words therein contained
were sufficient to make the recipient believe that his life
was in danger ; it did not signify if the prisoner meant to
carry out the threats, or the reverse. The jary retired to
consider their verdict, and the pri4oner was found guilty.
Sentence deferred.

COURT OF ARCHES-(THIS DAY).

The DEAN OF ARCHES gave judgment in the suit
of Sheppard v. the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, the vicar
of Frome, as to charges of heresy. Sir R. Phillimore
referred to the remarks he had made on the sth
instant, when he suggested certain alterations. He
had to consider whether he was bound to admit the
Article 5 as to the Real Presence in the Holy Eucha-
rist. That charge was not before the Commissioners
when the inquiry was made, and was not in
the letters of request sent by the bishop to this
court, nor in the citation served on the defendant,
who had been contumacious in not appearing to
the criminal charges of alleged heresy made against
him. Then as to the charge as to the reception of
the Sacrament by the wicked, all that related to
that subject must be struck out of the Articles. Mr.
Stephens asked for an appeal, as his lordship's judg-
ment had materially al ered his position as to the
charge of heresy. Sir R. Phillimore, after a discus-
sion of some length, allowed an appeal to the Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council.

HARES AND RABBITS.

The Devon and Cornwall Clamber of Agriculture,
at a very full [meeting, has passed, by a large
majority, a resolution in favour of a legislative enact-
ment giving landlord and tenait equal rights to kill
hares and rabbits. It appearsthat Earl Morley and
Sir Massey Lopes opposed ;he words " legislative
enactment." They hold, apparently, that it should be
left to the good will and merciful generosity of the
landlord to grant his tenants this boon. It
is unfortunately true, lowever, that very
little disposition of this kind his been shown hitherto.
If the tenants have to wait until their landlords con-
cede the privilege of their own freewill, they will
require a considrable stock of patience.

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S HARRIERS.

The Prince of Wales has recently sold his harriers
at Tattersall's. They were bought by the former
members of his hunt. These gentlemen, after un-
successfully applying to the Queen to continue to
hold the harriers, determined to buy them, and to
keep them as a subscription pack. They were car-
rying out their intention—had, indeed, given the
highest bid for the hounds—when they received a
letter from the Prince of Wales asking their accep-
tance of the pack. His Royal Highness informs Sir
Roger Eykyn that "it was impossible for him to
afford himself this gratification as long as there was
any uncertainty whether it was the intention to con-
tinue hare-hunting in the neighbourhood or not ; and
when made aware of the fact that it was so, it was too
late for his Royal Highness to withdraw the hounds
from the public competition by which he had engaged
himself to dispose of them."

The Council of Glasgow University are engaged in

these have not worked well. It is now proposed to

required. The degree of 8.A., abolished by tho
Commission, is to bee restored, and may be had after
two years residence.

THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY.

The first programme night of this very excellent musi-
cal society for the winter season took place last evening,
at the George Hotel, Aldermanbury ; the President, Mr.
J. Gillard, and an unusually largo number of members
and visitors being present. The rapid progress towards
high excellence which this society is making is very gra-
tifying, and no greater proof of this could be desired
than the musical selections for the occasion. Through
the great exertions of the president and the executive
committee, the music now performed is of a vastly supe-
rior character to that originally given, and now, in place
of the frivolous and unmeaning rubbish which at one
time occupied a place in the programme, we have clas-
sical quartette, and clever original songs each executed
in to manner which gives the highest promise of
ultimate excellence. Amongst the best performed
b
pieces last evening was an unaccompanied quartett,
" Interger Vitte," by Messrs. Soliague, Cooper, Thornton,
and Hillman. Mr. Frank fassey
sang a new song,
" Lordly gallants," in which he was accompanied by the
composer, Mr. W. Bendel], but the full effect of the com-
position was greatly interfered with by the indistinct pro-
nunciation of the words and the boisterous manner in
which the score was rendered. This was particularly
the case when the same gentleman sang "Tom Bowling,"
awl it is to be regretted that one possessed of so much
musical knowledge should be so deficient in ta,te.
Mr. H. Gillard sang Balfe's " Come into the
Garden Maud," awl Reichardt's "Love's Request,"
iu the most finished manner, for which ho received the
most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Fr ,nklend gave a capital
topical song, " In a quiet sort of way," with remarkably
good effect; and the same compliment must be awarded
Mr. Loy for his contribution to the evening's entertain.
rueut. The other gentlemen whose names appeared in the
programme must excuse us giving them a word or
two of advice. They ought to recollect that
the proper place for trying the strength of
their lungs is not the concert room, and that the true
test of ability is taste and execution, not the exhibition of
unnecessary vocal power. In saying this, our desire is
simply to remedy a fault, which, if persisted in, cannot
but tend to stop improvement, and thus interfere with the
onward progress of the society. As a whole, the first
"programme night" was a great success, and was
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the entire com-
pany.

TENANT-RIGHT DEMONSTRATION.

The second of the county meetings in support of
the tenant-right agitation, has been held at Castlebar.
The Irish evidently are second to no people in the
world in the art of gettinc, up demonstrations.
Numbers and enthusiasm are alwaysc at command for
any purpose whatsoever. At Castlebar, a small
Place in the county of Mayo, 12,000 persons
assembled. They were chiefly settlers and
farm labourers, and appeared to have no very clear
idea of what was going on, but,
.at any rate, they
were able to cheer and groan in the right places.
Archdeacon Brown, parish priest, presided, and made
a speech enforcing the old arguments in favour of
fixity of tenure with an equitable rent. Mr. G. H.
Moore, M.P., came out of his brief obscurity with
renewed vigour. He contrasted the mode
of dealing pursued by English landlords,
who made all the improvements on their
estates, and Irish landlords, who had done nothing
beneficial to the soil except to cut down the native
forests ; whereupon the meeting cheered the English
landlords, and groaned at the Irish tyrants with much
zest. Mr. Moore has no faith whatever that any of
Mr. Gladstone's pills can cure Irish grievances, much
leas the homoeopathic doses which the Government
is mixing up for the next session.
Another meeting was held at Sligo. The attend-
ance was only moderate, and so were the reso-
lutions. They declared that the conditions should be
modified so as to give encouragement to the
tenants' industry and secure continuous occupation of
holdings at an equitable rent, and full compensation for
improvements ; the tenant to be bound not to waste
the soil or sublet against the landlord's wish, and the
rent to be settled by the fluctuation of the markets.
These resolutions are somewhat remarkable, being
prepared at a meeting at which representatives from
some county landlords were present.

THE lINIVERSITTES CONTEST.

Mr. Archibald Smith appears to 'be fatally unsuc-
cessful in his efforts to gain the support of the
majority of the University electors. A few days ago
he stated that although he has had no opportunity of
studying questions of importance to medical men, he
asked the members of the medical profession for their
support on the ground that his principles were on
" the side of progress." The Lancet thereupon
asserts that the supporters of political progress are
not always of necessity scientific and sanitary
reformers ; that this really is no political question at
all ; and that, in questions relating to public
health, scientific research, Poor-law reform, &c.,
there are probably as many members willing
and able to discuss and to legislate on
the one side of the House as on the other.
Our contemporary points out that Mr. Gordon is pre-
pared to undertake various and important measures
relating to matters medical; therefore it considers
that " it is right and proper " that, in the absence of
a medical candidate, Mr. Gordon should receive the
support of the medical profession. The nomination
is fixed to take place on Tuesday next.

PRINCE CHARLES OF ROUMANIA

The Rouman Moniteur Officiel publishes a letter ad-
dressed by Prince Charles to the President of the Minis-
terial Council at Bucharest, in which he thanks the Cham-
bers and the other great State bodies for the affection and
confidence they have displayed. When he first accepted
the throne he was aware that the great wish of
the people of Roumania, was to found a stable
dynasty, which should not be affected by the
struggles and rivalries of factions, and he has always en-
deavoured to fulfil those aspirations. The Prince announces
his approaching marriage with Princess Elizabeth of Wied,
which he hopes the people will regard as a fresh guarantee
of the order and stability of his government.

TENNYSON'S NEW POEIL

The Poet Laureate seems to be taken up withlhe
fashion of obscurity in poetry. The newly published,
poem of his, which he calls "The Mystic," is per-
fectly unintelligible to the ordinary mind. He
tells the readers that they do not know the mystic ;
Probably ; certainly it is hard to understand Mr.
Tennyson. Perhaps, however, he intended to run
into abstract puzzles; such puzzles as the dreamer
delights to make for himself. If this were his
intentions he has undoubtedly succeeded in the
following passage :
Always there stood before him night and day
Of wayward, vary-coloured circumstance,
The imperishable presence serene,
Colossal, without form, or sense, or sound,
Dim shadows but unwaning presences,
Four faced to four corners of the sky :
And yet again, three shadows fronting one,
One forward, one respectant, three but one :
And yet again, again and evermore,
For the two first were not, but only seemed
One shadow in the midst of a great light,
One reflex from eternity or time,
One mighty countenance of perfect calm
Awful with most invariable eyes.

ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Mr. Msigrave applied on Friday in Chancery Chambers for
leave to issue a summons, returnable at once, to appoint an
agent to go to Berlin, where the police had seized the
agent already there, together with his books, and had
locked him up. The Chief Clerk granted the application.
Messrs. Lewis and Co., on the part of the official liquidators
(Messrs. Price and Young), applied for leave to retain the
services of Mr. A. Kirby, the manager, and other clerks and
servants of the Albert Assurance Company, at their present
salaries. There was a very large amount of business to be
transacted, which involved a great deal of information of
which the present officials only were cognizant.

The Chief Clerk asked what the affidavit said as to the
necessity of such a course.

Messrs. Lewis said the present staff had to be kept on
and paid overtime. The fact was a scheme of reconstruc-
tion was being considered by the liquidators independent
of the one already submitted to the Vice-Chancellor. This
was likely to Us matured, and would bring about a large
amount of labour.

The Chief Clerk said the liquidators must be the best
judges whether they required this retention, and made the
order subject to the usual affidavits.
Messrs. Mackenzie appeared on a summons returnable
to-day for leave to appoint a committee of policy-holders to
confer with the liquidators.
Mr. Musgrave asked that the summons might be ad-
journed to the Judge on the 6th.
The Chief Clerk said he would adjourn the matter to
the Vice-Chancellor, as asked.
An application was made by the clerk to the official
liquidators for £5OO. The official liquidators required some
ready money to carry on the matter, having up to the
present time paid what was required out of their own
pockets. The amount asked for would be included in the
three-monthly accounts.

The Chief Clerk asked what the applicant estimated
his current expenses to be. Applicant said he did not know
that they wanted £5OO—L3OO, perhaps, would do. Order
trade for the latter amount.
A summons was heard on an order of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, directing the official liquidators to give security
within a week. On the application of Messrs. Lewis and
Co., this order was extended for a week.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
sailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
nnstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

CAMPS FOIL INSTRUCTION.

Under this heading, the Times publishes an article
on the need which exists for training our soldiers and
their officers for war. In the manner of sham fights,
for instance, how utterly absurd it is to make one
general master of the field ! He is, says the Times, like
one man playing chess—the right hand against the left.
Nothing but the rudiments of the game can be learnt in
this way. But when, some time back, a change took
place,. and men were pitted against men, enthusiasm
prevailed in the ranks, and some real work was
done, and not a few profitable lessons learnt.
Why should not the same kind of thing be
carried out at Aldershot, instead of mere drill-
ings and paradings taking up the time ?
Our men want to learn to run. They have not yet
had shewn to them the lessons of late wars ; they do
not understand the revolution wrought by needle
rifles and "big guns ;" they must learn how to use
cover, to throw up earthworks, and be taught to de-
pend more upon these and less on dash than they
were used to do. Such at least is the Times' opinion.

THE HANOVERIAN MONUMENTS.

An animated discussion has lately taken place in the
Prussian Chambers on the exercise of military authority
at Zell, by which the funeral monuments in memory of
the Hanoverian soldiers were removed. The Minister of
War made an explanation, and declared that the military
authority which had been exercised was quite in keeping
with justice. In the first place appeals were made to the police
and the tribunals to prevent the erection of the monu-
ments, but these having refused to support the military,
the Commandant was compelled to act on his own respon-
sibility. He added that if his permission had been asked
for the erection of a monument, he should certainly have
granted it. Several deputies spoke in strong terms con-
demning the conduct of the military authorities, re-
marking on the unfavourable impression which such
events produced in Hanover.

BERWICICS/ILItE ELECTION.

Both political parties have already formed com-
mittees in order to secure the election of their choice
when Mr. Robertson is made a peer. Lord Douglass
is actively canvassing the county in the Conservative
interest, and the Liberals have held a meeting at
which a resolution was passed calling upon Lord
William Hay to enter the field forthwith. It is con-
sidered probable that Lord William's family, who
opposed him when he endeavoured to oust Lord Elcho
from East Lothian, will on this occasion throw in
their lot in his favour.

LEGAL CHANGES IN IRELAND

It is generally believed in the north of Ireland that
Mr. Sullivan has been appointed Master of the Rolls,
in which case Mr. Barry, the present Solicitor-
General, will become the first Irish law officer of the
Crown. The elevation of Mr. Sullivan will create a
vacancy in iklte representation of Mallow, and thus an
opening is made for Mr. Barry, who has hitherto been
without a seat in Parliament. Both parties are astir
at Londonderry, as it is anticipated that the vacant
Solicitor-Generalship will be offered to Serjeant
Dowse, who so cleverly. defeated Lord Claud
Hamilton last November. Mr. Dowse's majority was
then 1043, but the Conservatives entertain sanguine
hopes that in the event of his again appealinm to the
electors he will lose his seat. As their late champion
is at the present moment a candidate for Lynn, it is
not known who will be brought forward. At all
events, a close struggle may be anticpated.
