but instead of yielding any profit they cost
$50. 900 to keep them up, besides being mort
gagged for $400, 200. There is some difficulty
about his debt at Trieste, which amounts to
more than 81 100000. The Belgian execu-
tors in the interest of their sisters, wish these
debts to be paid by Austria, on the ground
that they were contracted in the public ser
vice. This is contested by the Austrian Inn
perial family.
The unfortunate Princess it is said, would
willingly pay her husbands debts from her
private purse, if she was in a state to autho-
rize such a measure; but as it is, it is pro-
bable that the valuable collection of works of
art and of Egyptian and Mexican curiosities
will be sold in order to settle the estate. The
Princess Charlotte's condition does not inn
prove, and may in fact be considered as hope
less.
Guy FAwKEs DAY IN LoNDoN.-Guy Fawkes
day, which during the last few years has been
but very indifferently observed in London,
had some of its "glories' revived on the 5th
instant. The Pope was brought once more
into requisition, and in many parts of London
his Holiness was seen represented in every
variety of form and costume. At the East
End of London an immense representation of
the Pope was carried on large poles, Garibaldi,
with uplifted sword, being about to strike him
down. Indeed, this seemed to be the favorite
idea in many quarters of London, and the re-
lgious part of the question connected with the
alleged attempt to burn down the Houses Of
Parliament was scarcely regarded with any
significance at all. In many districts the
ritualists of the Church of England shared
with the Pope the honor of being represented
as "guys."
THIEVES SIANe.-Recently, in making an
arrest, the London police found memoran-
dunn in pencil of certain "hash" words, evil
IDENTIFY written out by the young thief to be
committed to memory. From this memoran-
dun it appears that the stealing of watch,
which used to be ''cly taking" is now, under
certain circumstances, the "clppinio dodge
for supers." Handkerchief stealing ceases to
be ''fogle hunting, and becomes the "genix
att" A watch-chain is a ''slang piper"
porte-monnaie "skin," a handkerchief a
1'stake," a prison a ''ster," side pockets
''pates, - breaking open till ''hot-snaking,"
it was once ''hinkin;' handy pickpocket a
"gun," knife "chin," a head ''blessy,"
ring "fawney" This last is old, as also
stem commandments for fingers "snowy'
for Ilinen, and "drag' for three months in
prison.
THE Poor OF PARIs.-It appears from Off
cial statistics that the number of INDECENT
families in Paris, inscribed in the books of the
establishment, was in 1866, 40 644, comprising
l05,1l9 individuals. Compared with 1863,
this shove an increase of 588 households and
3549 persons. In 1853 there was one INDECENT
individual in every 16 inhabitants, while in
1866 the proportion was only one in II. Sick
persons to the number of So, 452 were attended
at their own houses, of whom n, 600 were in
scribed; 9344 women were delivered; and the
total number relieved by the bureaur de bien-
f1isance was 153, 600. In the various hospitals
and asylums 1S 329 beds are provided for
1868; and bread tothevalue of 2, 5l5, 900 francs
will be furnished; in addition to 1929, l4O
francs' worth of wine, and 2,OS9, $50 francs OF
butchers meat.
ELoPING WITH A GRooM.-At Bradford, Eng
land, recently, William Croft, a groom, was
brought up on a curious charge. He had
lived in the service of Mr.. Ridgeway Bentley
Chowler, on the Park farm, Bolton, who holds
a responsible position under the Duke of
Devonshire. Croft had been in the habit Of
attending the family when they drove out,
and in his capacity as groom he frequently
rode out with the young ladies. An intimacy
sprung up between him and one of the daugh-
ters, and they went over to Bradford, applied
for and obtained a license at St. James
Church, and would have been married but for
the interference of the young lady's friends,
who heard of the intentions of the couple, and
took the young lady home.
GROUP CURED BY SULPHUR.-The Medical Ga
zette, of Paris, states that M. Langanterle, of
Paris, after observing the effect of sulphur on
the oidium of grape vines was led to admins
ter it in several cases OF Group. He mixes a
teaspOonful of sulphur in glass of water, and
gives teaspoonful of this mixture every hour.
The effect is described as wonderful. The dis
ease is cured in two days, the only symptom
remaining being cough arising from the pre-
sence of loose pieces of false membrane in the
trachea. M. Langanterle says he has followed
this plan in seven cases, all being severe, espe-
oially the last, in which the child was oyanOtic,
with protruded rolling eyes and noisy respira-
tion.
The MAGNITUDE OF LWERPOoL.-The follow
ing figures illustrate the magnitude of Liver
pool:--The Mersey Docks and Harbor Board
received last year f85l, ,Sll; the Town Coun-
Gil has borrowed on its water account
62,009, 995; on its sanitary account, f623, ,755;

ercised borrowing powers to the extent Of
Gl 100000.
Cory OF NAPoLEoN.-The Austrian deputy
SCHNEIDER is said to bear a striking resem-
bance to Napoleon III. Vienna letter writer
Temarks:-"Take silhouette of the Emperor,
place it against a WALL throw a strong light
upon it from little distance, and draw pair
OF spectacles where they are usually placed,
and you have complete likeness. But in
stead of the calm, indolent movements OF the
emperor, his shadow is the very reverse.
however he may study to contain HIMSELF the
hgh animal spirits will get the upper hand,
