GREAT CALAMITY 10 AN AuTHoR--THoMks
CARIyLE's 8 DETERMISATIoH.-It is related OF
Carlyle, that when he was writing his
French Rseotution, he lent the manuscript OF
the first volume TO literary neighbor TO pc
ruse. By some mischance or other, it had
been left lying on the parlor floor, and became
forgotten, Weeks ran on, and the historian
sent for his manuscript, the printers being
loud for copy" Inquiries were made, and
then il was found that the maid-of-all-work
finding what she conceived to be bundle OF
waste paper on the floor, had used it to light
the kitchen and parlor fires with Such was
the answer returned to Mr.. Carlyle, aud his
CONSERVATION and despair may be imagined.
There was, however no help for him but
10 set himself resolutely to work to re write
his book; and he turned to and did it. He
had no draft, and was compelled to rake up
from his memory facts, ideas, aud impressions
which had long since been dismissed. The
Of the book in the irst instance
had been work of real pleasure; the writing
Of II second time was one of anguish almost
beyond belief. That he persevered and
finished the volume, under such circumstances,
affords an instance of determination of pur.
pose which has seldom been exceeded.

Provincial Government Of New Zealand has
resolved to continue the geographical and
geological exploration of that colony, so sue
-cessfully begun by DR.. Hochstetter. new
expedition has been organized, and Mr.
Mackay, one of its members, left Nelson last
December for the South, with the intention
of crossing the New Zealand Alps and of
penetrating to the sources of Gray River,
where he would establish a depot of supplies.
Mr. Hast and the rest of the party were to
follow the same route about the middle of
January, making a careful survey of the re-
gion passed over. They are especially in
strueted to investigate the character Of the
extensive coal district discovered a few
months since in the vicinity of Gray River
From this stream the expedition is to follow
the coast to the mouth of the Butler, ascend
the Butler 70 the lake region, cross the noun
tains TO West Wanganni and return to Mel
son by way of Cape Farewell. Meanwhile,
news has reached Europe aud this country OF
an important outbreak among the untamed
native inhabitants of the province. What
effect this insurrectionary movement may
have upon the operations and fate of the eS-
ploring party can not be known until the ar
rival Of further and more detailed accounts OF

A FENIsIEE LuoREErA BoRaiA.-Mrs. Le-
roy, of whom mention was some time since
made, she being then at the West in pursuit
of a husband said to haYe eloped, turns out
TO be poisoner, and very clumsy one, too.
She arrived at Port Huron, Mich, on the 10th
ult., in company with Prussian named
Charles Fenner and with him remained till
the morning Of the 29th when he was found
dead in his bed, murdered by poison. A
forged conveyance of all his property was
exhibited by the woman, and also a fraudu-
lent marriage-certi6cate, signed by Baptist
minister in Detroit who never had an ex.
istence. She was Immediately arrested and
committed for the murder. Papers which
were found under the carpet in her room
furnish ground for the suspicion that her last
husband was disposed of In the same manner.

acteristics of animal humanity carries out
that full proportion to the average stature of
the sons Of Adam. BE is six feet Of sef-will,

etinacy, six feet of sharpness at bargain,

He got larger boat the next time, and soon

ever heard Of who built his own steam yacht,

SCENE IN A BosToN GAMBLNa-HousE.-
young man from the country found himself
in gambing-house in Boston the other day.
The company were shaking props, and he
tried his hand; his luck was Ill., aud he lost
all his money, twenty-four dollars, the bulk
of which was IN the form of a twenty-dollar
bank-note. AS this was about disappearing
into the pocket of the winner, the young man
snatched 1t and ran. The astonished gambler,
with his associates, gave chase, shouting
stop thief" boys, men and policemen fol-
gambler was caught. he was 50 much
frightened that he voluntarily returned the
money TO the hand from which he had taken
it, and the fellow sped away as quickly as he
had come. When the police knew what the
circumstances of the case were, they started
cessful. So the young man had the satisfac-
tion of knowing that he had twice flung away
his property.

HIoH TEMPERATURES OF TIE RED BA.--Dr.
Buist has lately communicated to the Geo

observations on the temperature of the Red
Sea, without doubt the warmest body Of
water Of its size on the earth We are told
that exactly in its center lies n watery region
Of terrible beat. This seat of high tempera.
tnre IS situated in tract rich in volcanic
Indications and between l4o and 2lo north
latitude. Even in the winter months the
water Is seldom less than s0o; reaches $40 in
March and April and in May some times at
tains TO 300. September, however, is the
season of greatest warmth, the temperature
of both air aDd water rising in that month
above blood-hsat. At this time, person
leaning over the bulwarks Of vessel, whose
deck has been lately cooled by shower Of

In Novemher 1886, the temperature of the

The Lady EIgin DIsaster-.Verdict OF the
COPODer,s Jury.

The Jury of inquest in the case of the late Lady
Elgin disaster have returned lengthy verdict the
points of which are as follows: The steamer was
seaworthy and well provided with the means of pre-
serving life IN case of accident and her officers and
men were sufficient in number and competent fol-
the proper discharge of their duties. The number
of passengers board did not overload the steamer
yet the jury eensure the owner and officers for re-
ceiYing on board more passengers than were allow
ed by law The jury have no proof as to the gener-
al competency and qualifications of the officers OF
the Augusta, and admit that both the schooner and
the steamer had their lights placed in accordance
with the requirements of the law and consider that
the first cause of the disaster was the defective ar
rangement of the lights as appointed by law. The
second mate of the Augusta censured for not in
forming the captain when he came on deck of the
appearance OF the steamers lights and Is declared
incompetent. According to the testimony of ex-
perts, the order to put the schooners wheel hard
port was such as should have been given under the
circumstances, but Captain Malott was censurable
for not laying to after the collision to see if the
steamer needed assistance. The captain and en-
gineers of the Lady Egin acted nobly to the last
The jury of opinion that all lake passenger boats
should invariably be built with water-tight COM
partments, and are confident that had this been the
case with the Lady Elgin, the community would
have been spared the shock OF larAdntable dis
aster.
Two of the jurors have appended to the foregoing
verdict protest, in which they declare that the
Lady Egin mismanaged, and so censurable,
previous to the collision in the insufcieney Of the
iookouts; that she was lily and inadequately sup
Piled with boats and hfepfeservers, and the Marine
inspectors cannot be too severely blamed for allow
ing the humane and wise intent Of the laws for the
safety of passengers to be defeated by issuing GER
tfcate 10 q vessel defective in all her arrange
ments as the lost steamer. 1t Will not be qninter
estng in this connection 10 notice the fact recalled
in some of our exchanges, that the Lady Egin met
with disaster in 1854. She struck rock on the
last Wednesday Of August of that year, on her
downward passage, but managed to reach pier at
Mapitowoc where she sunk. She had three hum
dred passengers on board, all of whom were saved.
