BIduL VI -O9ts NdS ltdtC 10 loeNl5 buis
mer, Esq, towards the charges of
discovering Of some mines of gold in
the realm of Scotland" AS to the
produce of this gold field the State pa
pers are silent, but we draw the at
tentiOn OF any embryo company to
the fact that the Hill of Dun-o-D Deem
in Aberdeenshire has always enjoyed
the reputation of being rich in gold.
Miss Kate Field is described as ga
fair girl, dressed in blue, with an ele-
CANT lace 'aurcoat' over her shoulders.
and, with a pretty little gilded, folded
ian playing in her fingers, she presents
TO the audience the appearance of a
lady attired for 8 full-dress evening
party. Her manner, her voice, her
gestures, and the rationale of her talk
IS the antitheSis of a wOman's-rights
woman She is refreshingiy woman
ly in times that seem to threaten the
extinction of all true womanliness."
The Silk Supply Association have
recently published "Guide to Seri-
culture" written by its president, Mr.,
Dickins. 1t affords brief but practical
information on the cultivation of the
mulberry and the rearing of silk
worms, and adduces evidence of the
likelihood of considerably increased
supplies of silk, not only from Japan
and China, but from several new silk
producing cOuntries-Australia the
Cape, Natal, Egypt, etc. Mr.. Dickin5
insists, moreover, that even in these
islands silk may become a profitable
agricultural produce.
The visit of the Emperor of Austria
to the Sultan was attended with a
Characteristic act of courtesy on the
part of the latter. 1t is well known |
that the library of Matthew COrvinus, !
King OF Hungary, was captured our !
ing the old wars and transferred to the |
Seraglio. This has been a matter of |
wonder to Europeans, as being sup
posed to comprise many classic trea- |
ises. This, however, is not, we be- |
lieve, the case, but the books are |
chiefly ecclesiastical The Sultan pre- !
scented to the Emperor four of the |
handsOmest of these books, bearing /
the arms of their former owners. |
They are, states the Lavant Herald, a
iOliO OF st. Augustine, De CiVitate |
Del; twelve comedies of Plautus; a
treatise on Rhetoric, by George, of
IrebizOnd; and portion OF a Latin
translation of the History of POIybius.
rhe Emperor has achieved popularity
in Hungary by placing these volumes
IN the National Library at PeSth.
A judge in New York has sentenced
a man TO prison for life for the unpar-
alleled crime of making India-rubber
combs, and thereby Infringing on the
rights of the patentees. His name is
Wuu. Miller The Judge, who tried
the case without the helD OF a Jury,
decided against him, and sentenced
him 10 pay a fine of $500, aud to re-
main in prison till paid. But Miller
Is poor, and hence is doomed To in
habit cell for life. He is confined in
jail, An application
Tor his release was made to Judge
but he declined, it is SAID,
10 interfere further IN the case, gs he
had no power. Not long ago ex-
Deputy Marshal Mccoy, who arrested
Muler, appealed to the lawyer OF the
patenieeS to ask his release of Judge
but he replied curtly that
. neither the President of the United
States, nor Judge BlatchtOrd, nor the
GUYeraOr OF the State, can release him
without my consent, and I'm going to
keep him in prison.
The Radical party in Congress this
session Is more divided on the tinau-
cial question than In any previous
session. The course of Senators par
and more especially that of
the Senate Finance Committee, is an
confession of the ina
bility ct the Radical party to cope
with tbs great question. Specie re-
is the rock on which the
party must split, anu that soon. In
their speeches On the finances, Sena-
.Ofs touch this question most gmgcrly. +
FentOn's speech on Tuesday was an
admirable attempt at beating round |
he bush, alG was as non-cOmnittal
Is 1t well could be. The fact il, there
IS not brain enough in the Senate to
handle the subject; and what little
brains there is, IS trittereq away on
measures for oppTess-
ng the Southern people. The tariff is
another stumbling block. 1t is under
stood that the Committee on the Tariff
will report bat few notifications, and
hey do not expect that even those
will be adopted, 50 wide is the diver
;ity Of opinion in the House. Each {
has views of his own, and
& TOO many cooks spoil the broth" {
