Bazaine,s Departure from Paris.

The following details of the departure of
Marshal Bazaine from Paris, to undergo
his sentence, appear in the Paris Figaro ::
ON Thursday evening, December %,
Marshal BaZaine quilted Trianon. The
following day he arrived at his destina-
ton, after journey extending over four
and twenty hours. The most minute
precautions had been taken to keep secret
his departure. Early in the morning the
prisoner, who had previously been warned
of his approaching removal, was allowed
the privilege of an interview with Mad
anne BaZaine and with his children, which
lasted upward of two hours and a half.
After the departure of his wife, the Mar
shall busted himself in the preparations
for his long journey. He refused from
that time to receive any other visits, and
passed the remaining portion of the time
left open to him in arranging various pa
pers, which he committed to the care OF
his friends.
Mime BaZaine is heroine. She Is only
twenty-eight years of age. She was poor
girl, without any fortune whatever, when
Marshal Bszaine married her, but the EN-
peror Macmillan gave her a small dot,
which was afterward conficated by JnareZ.
She is beautiful young woman, an excel
lent mother, loving wife, aud a devoted
friend, and she has pride enough to carry
her through all her present trying circum-
stances,

highly pleased with the exercises. 1t is
certainly gratifying to see our people
taking such deep interest in the subject OF

Marine Disasters.

The perils of navigation were never
made more manifest than as presented in
the detailed statement given in our ship
ping department this morning. The ship
property destroyed last year was valued at
Sll ,7sG, 900, while the sea has claimed a
larger number of victims than usual.
Storm, fire, wreck, ana collision have
characterized the sad recital of the years
record. With comparatively few excep-
tons, the losses have been chiefly due TO
unusually tempestuous weather, and all
the efforts and precautions which hnman
ingenuity can devise seem futile to pre-.
vent such disasters. The loss includes "A
steamers, 81 ships, l02 barks, "a brigs,
and zig schoonsrs. The most serious loss
occurred in the month of January, invol-
wing the DISRUPTION of property valued at
81. $4,000. FEBRUARY, March, April and
December were also severe months. In

Juvenile Advantages and Disadvantages.

If was obliged to be a boy, and boy
in the Countrywide best kind of boy to
be, in the SUMNER would be about 10
years Of age. AS soon as i got any older /
would quit it. The trouble with boy is,
just as he begins to enjoy himself he is too
old, and has to be set to doing something
else. If country boy were wise he would
stop Just at that age when he enjoys HIM
self most, and have the least expected OF
him in the way of work.
OF course the perfectly good boy will
prefer 10 work and TO ''chores" for his
father, and errands for his mother and sis
tiers, rather than enjoy himself in his own
way. i never saw but one such boy. He
lived in the town of Goshen-not the place
where the butter is made, but much bet
ter Goshen than that. And / never saw
him, but heard of him and being about
the same age, i supposed, / was taken once
from Zoah, where / lived, to Goshen TO see
him. He had been dead almost year, so
that IL WA i'm apostolic to see him He died
OF the most singular disease it was fro m

them. The boy, whose name was Solomon,
before he died, would rather split up kind

splitting kinGling-wOOd and such work
most OF the time, and grew a better and

The Tomb Of Lazarus.

The most recent discoveries by the Pales-
tine Exploration Expedition are such as to
excite the liveliest interest of the Christian
world. The explorers have found on the
Mount of Olives a number of Jewish
Greek sarcophagi bearing inscriptions.
In these were the bones of Christian
Jews, and one of them bears the name of
Lazarus, Otherers are inscribed with the
names of Simon and Martha, although
the discoveries do not claim that these sar-
cophagi actually served for the entomb-
ment of the Biblical individuals known to
the world under those names, they leave
j. TO be inferred that such may be the fact.
The tomb of Lazarus-the scene of one
Of the most marvellous of Christs mira
Cles-it is believed will be definitely loca-
ted before the exploration is finished.
