London, JrtLy 49,
On the l1th of May. youth 10 years of
age, of the Greek nation, died an heroic
death at Constantinople. This youth, who
lived at Curutschesene, on the channel of
ConstantiAople, had, az an unfortunate mo-
ment, gone over to the Mahometan religion,
but soon repented of this step, and return
ed iato the pale of ths cid Greek Church.
He was summoned before the Grand Vizier,
who upbraided him with religious perjury.
On his replying that he was born Chris
tan, and resolved so to die. he was conduc-
ted to the Istambol Eff ndi, Judge of Con
stantinople,) to be again instructed by him
in th< Mahometan religion but he dccli-
ned, and even went so far as to advise the
Judge to turn Christian himself; he was,
upon this, beheaded on the 18th of May.
In Glasgow, one of the curosities shown
to strangers, and one of the greatest curl
osities in Britain, is a cow-house, set up on
his own plan by MIR. Buchanan, an old
but a very skiltul and successful master
weaver. in this COW house, are kept con-
stantly, about 500 cows, in the neatest,
NEST clean and healthy order. The house
lone room] is square building, the roof
supported in the centre by iron pillars
The floor is boarded, washed clean, and
sanded. Small long stages, about foot
above the floor, are erected, each contains
ing, perhaps, 90 cows. These stages are
just as wide as the cow is long, and behind
the COW is a trough to carry away what
falls from it. They are kept two and two
together, are fed regularly with grass of
some kind, and watered; women attend
upon them. and groom them as men do
horses, but during the nine months they are
in milk they never change their situation.
They live upon six square feet each yet
their skins a re always sleek and silky, they
are fat and beautiful. The moment they
become dry, they are sold to the butcher,
for whom they are highly fit. The owner
has man or two travelling about the coun-
try, purchasing new ones, coming into milk
the owner, too, keeps farm, which the
cows manure enables him to dress well.
In this way, the business goes on like clock
work, it being but secondary to his weav-
ing trade, and has gone on for years
no hustle, no confusion and he sells his
grass milk for half the price the London
ers sell their nauseous mixture, though
land is dearer around Glasgow than around
London.

The rumor is revived Of the soIicitude
expressed by an llluStrous parsonage to
bring the question of divorce, by wav of
bill, into the House of Lords. A female, a
Swiss by birth, is said to be material wit
ness. We have heard that several Min.
listers have decidedly declared their unwil .
lingness to agitate the delicate question /;
and that this only has prevented the trial
of measure that might have been attend

E,ctract from a fr-iUate iettfT, dated Paris,
Juky %. 1916.
Sir Il. Wilson and Mr. Bruce left Paris
o-day for England. it has been UNDER
stood that the departure of these gentlemen

week, and that they were to travel with
the usual passports from our ambassador,
q peint which believe had been clearly
agreed on between NJ. de X ichelieu and Sir
| Charles Stuart. The Minister of Police,
however, whether from ignorance Of this
arrangement, or from a wish to give these
gentlemen last proof of his good will to-
wards them, directed passports to be sent
to all three Of them, with a notification to
