he obtained u situation as clerk In u SILK ware
house IN London which he left six months later TO
enter the banking establishment OF Ballow 10
Lushington CornhI. Three months passed when
he lost his place, but Immediately obtained another
situation from Barber sons, blll brokers,
on leaving whom he entered into the employment OF
NeUnpa,'s Echo lit The failure VI this paper
again threw him out Of work, and he decided upon
becoming printer, but somehow he never could
learn to set types correctly. Two more years fol-
lowed during which ne earned scanty living as
commercial traveller in Ireland
Meantime Holland had imDbcd taste for tho
theatrical profession, and his return to England
he sought and obtained an engagement at the
olympic theatre. Here lie first appeared IN charac-
ter, PLAYING Tom In GAN AT Coventry TINS was in
1920. His success, though not great, was steady,
and gave him a reputation which enabled him TO

Peace Prospects Looking Up-Gernans Ex-
hibi,ing Weakness Use IiaBeons Reports.
LONDON, Dec. 20, 1870.
The prospects Of peace are looking much improved
this morning 1t Is thought in Berlin and Frankfort
that the peace basis proposed by neutrals, with
some amendments, viii probably soon be adopted.
GERMANS EXHIBITING WEAKNESS
The Telegraph this morning has special from
Brussels saying that the late heavy calls for land.
wehr denote the weakness OF the German investing
army around Paris, and that its operations are now
more defensive than offensive. One or TWO more
sortes like that OF last night tSfl and the siege of
Paris will be raised.
OUT OF COAL.
Germany Is suffering from scarcity Of coal. The
working of many Of the mines has ceased, the
miners having been drafted INTO the army.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
The decree opening the French coasting trade to
all nations Is due to the obstruction Of railways,
especially IN Northeastern France.
