A delightful scene which recently occurred
in LendOn Police Court warrants the suspi-
ciOn that it is not only ia America that the
wrath of servants is to heads of families the
direful spring Of woes unnumbered. One Col.
Rich and his son were required to answer to
the charge of assaulting certain Michael
Giyast, butler 1t was clear the butler had
msbehaved, but he had grievance. He dis
tinctly proved, by his own testimony and that
of his fellowservants that on the day of the
disturbance Col. Rich had condemned him to
hashe6 mutton for dinner, whereas roast beef
and pudding were his just prerogative. More
over, the Colonel had, only the day before,
Toasted luxuriously off venisOn pasty, not .
morsel of which found its way to the domes-
tics hall. The. consequences of these dietetic
deprivations upon Givast's temper were to
cause him. first, to quarrel with his wife. who
subdued him for the moment by pouring
hot pea soup upon him, and next to engage
in q personal squabble with Col. Rich's son,
upon whom he endeavOred to wreak his hun
cry vengeance in manner not altogether un-
like that of Count Ugolino in the Inferno
namely, by biting piece out of his adyer-
sary's leg. For the thrashing he received by
way of punishment he claimed damages. In
spired, no doubt, by recollections of Marc An
tony, his counsel endeavored to produce fine
dramatic effect by waving what he called
blood-stained coat before the eyes of the
Court; but the sensation was modified upon
the discovery that the only marks were those
left by the pea soup before mentioned. Mas
ter butler being clearly In the wrong, the COM
nlaint woa dismissed the accused grinder of
the stomachs of the humble suffering no in
convenience beyond loss of time and the an
noyance of public examination. But that he
was obliged to undergo even these proves
and there is melancholy satisfaction in the
dscovery-that there is at least one land be-
sides our own where servantsi may, almost at
will, resolve themselves into instruments of
worry and evaporation to their employers.

held at Serampore in July. We all know what

shouting, hundreds of worshipers pulling at
the ropes, and crazy devotees flinging them

attracted by the spectacle was small. The cars
were dragged a short distance, by hired men,
and then left half IN muddy ditch, with

A curious case of Breach of Promise has just
been decided in Liverpool. A gentleman
named Thompson, having wooed young lady
named Fleming with appropriate ardor for the
space of year. suddenly shocked and
wounded her sensibilites by abandoning the
style of gushing fervOr to which he had
accustomed her in his correspondence, and
inviting her attention to commonplace, prac-
teal considerations of housekeeping and other
realistic details of their future life. Signs,
and smiles, and Cupid's darts gave place in
his epistolary pages to table-napkins, bed
linen, silver-ware and anti-macassars. The
counsel for the plaintiff dilated over certain
of the defendants phrases with all the enthu-
sasm of Sergeant Buzfuz over Mr.. Pickwick's
famous dispatch about "chops and tomato
saucen Why, it was asked, in intention, if
not in so many words, should he burden her
mind with anti-macassars when she was yearn-
ing only for sentiment And why should he
presume to break his engagement because she
declined to discuss these gross and worldly
domestic questions9 The jury gallantly ac-
coded to this view of the affair, and awarded
damages in the SUM of f1,500. Pending the
suit the defendant courted and espoused an
other lady, whose views upon the subject of
household furniture. we may suppose, were
more in harmony with his own.

The Westminster Reriew, about twelve months
ago. had an article which created no little
amazement and scandal in England, it being a
cool and caustic defense of Turkish social in
stitutions, on the ground that. after all, an av-
erage Englishman is much more of polyga-
mist, in all but the name, than an average
Turk. The Quarterly Repiew just published
has an article which will probably, arouse
quite as much anger, though in different
way. 1t is an essay named Eastern Chris
tians," and is pungent, audacious, sarcastic
description of the several Christian tribes In
Asiatic Turkey and Egypt - the Greeks,
the Armenians, the Maronites, the Copts,
and so on. No Moslem could
possibly pour out greater contempt
on the Giaour than does this writer In the
great organ of English Church and State
Toryism. La his eyes the Eastern Christians

needs. has furnished the benefcent answer.

From the summit Of Cader Idris and the
deptbs of the valley of the Dee come cries OIL
lamentati0n and bitterness The EisteddfOd is
dead. That annual Welsh gathering of poets,
patriots, and pundits, in which all spiritual
fealty TO Anglo-SaxOn thraldom was wont, for
the time. TO be cast aside; during which the
sturdy Canbrian squires ceased to be known
as simple Owen Owenses, William Williamses,
Thomas an Thomases, and Morgan ap JOneses,
and assumed the unutterable titles character
istic of their corner OF Great Britain, ana
chiefly distinguishable by the discrepancy be-
tween their half -pennywOrth of vowel and their
intolerable deal of consOnant; when triple
strung harps were twanged, and odes were
sune and the shades of Shenkin and
Glyndwr were invoked for the homage OF
the faithful and the irreverent diversion OF
the United Kingdom at large; the pride OF
Welsh tradition and the last link IN the mem
cries of the past is no more. 1t has perished'
not proudly, alas, to the heroic strains of Har-
lech, but ignobly,to the melancholy tune Of
"no funds" 1t was only year ago that Mr.
Matthew Arnold congratulated the assembled
wisdom Of Wales upon the perpetuation OF
their time-chastened ceremony. and pointed
out the way by which the Cymry might re-
conquer, by persuasive arts OF peace, those
possessions of their fathers from which they
had been thrust, centaries ago, by the weapons
of wild warfare. The bards and prophets
hailed his cheering words with unintelligible
but enthusiastic expressions of joy. and sep
arated firm in the resolution to renew this
Autumn the intellectual triumphs of antiquity.
Unhappily the people would not respond.
Pecuniary preliminaries could not be accom-
plished, and the Eisteddfod is given over,
never, it is feared, to be revived again. Sic
transit gloria Cambria.

If the Hon. William NJ. Gwin, late Senator
from California, and more recently tool of
Louis NapoleOn's intrigue to establish an En-
pire in Mexico avOwedly hostile to the United
States, be indeed an aspirant to the U. s.
Senate from California, the exhibition of
"cheek" on his part is remarkable, even in
this age of bronze. Senator Gwin abandoned
the Northern Free State which had done her
best to honor him, in order to aid the Rebellion
to the utmost. He persevered in the work so
long as Rebel flag hOated; and it strikes us
that should he now aspire to return to the
Senate, he should migrate to Kentucky, as his
friend Bright has done.

The reports of NapOleon's health, guarded
and untrustworthy as such official bulletins
always are, show that there is reason for keen
anxiety in France, which the Empresss sud-
den abandonment of her trip to Constantine
pie will not tend to allay. Probably there is
no immediate danger of fatal termination of
the malady, but it does not seem certain that
Napoleon is even cOnvalescent as yet, and all
France feels that imperialism is upheld by a
slender thread indeed

moral obligations in others. Of the first class,
90 were cured; Of the second, only eight. Two
thirds of the whole had the benefits of Christian

the Temperance question requires to be con-

every subject affecting human interests deserves
careful attention.
