Through tickets around the world are now
Issued, the price being sll46 In gold, and the
running time eighty-one daya. The line OF
route, going westward, is from New YORK to
San Francisco, say 5000 miles; San Franclsco
to Yokohama, 47OO; thence to Hong Kong,
1900 miles; thence to Calcutta, $500 miles;
thence to Bombay, 400 miles; Bombay to
suez, 5000 miles; from suez, by the way OF
Alexandria and Brindisi, to London, say $500
miles, and from London to New York, $500
miles. When the projected improvements OF
the Indian route are carried into effect across
/, Europe, and great continental railroad Is
established, with proper branches and conuec-
tlons through Asia, the trip, around the world
will be shorter in duration and space, and at
the same time much more interesting.
The London Times tells the story of an
old ssTchborne case" which happended three
hundred years ago in France. Martin Guerre
married at the age of eleven, and after living
with his vile ten years-during which period
they had one child-he ran away. At the end
OF eight years man appeared, whose claim to
the long-lost Martin was at once acknowledged
by the truant's vile and the rest Of the family.
For three years there was no question OF the
identity of the newcomer with the errant hus-
band and when finally 1t was disputed, the
wife and many Of The relatives affirmed 1t.
Two trials took place, In which the conflict Of
evidence was remarkable, fifty witnesses on
each side giving contradictory testimony.
The case was determined by the appearance
of the real Martin, Of whom the impostor had
been an intimate associate during a long cam
paign. The rogue, who had thus betrayed his
friends confidence, was condemned to be
hanged and burnt.
The last batch OF the Tiehborne evidence
to hand is interesting. The last witness ex-
amined when the mail left was Mr.. Locock
: Webb, the chancery barri.ter, who drew the
'plu lOA tAlO Sio1aaao' Ao3S "''ASSo
said the claimant exhibited ''perfect knowl-
edgen OF the contents of several deeds relating
to the estate; but, with regard to the name of
the vessel which picked him up at sea and
conveyed him TO Melbourne, there was some
uncertainty. The claimant ''thought" it was
the Osprey, and no name was mentioned in
the bill The witness said, in reply to re-
mark Of the ohiet justice, that the case could
have been settled in month in chancery.
The chief justice strongly denounced the con-
duct Of an attorney engaged in the case, who
had printed and circulated p large number of
afidavits which had been fled on behalf of
the plaintiff. They contained description Of
marks and peeuliarities by which the claimant
had been, it was said, identified by many per-
Sons. The chief justice said this was ''scan-
dalousn conduct.
