lr il dangerous to offend a British
mob: AT the Duke Of Ed,nburgh's re-
ceptlon ut London it showed somewhat
heavily, and cry of "umbrellas down"
was raised by the roughs. One gen.
tieman who stood in the front rank, re-
f!slng to comply with the request of
tho crowd, was Immediately set upon,
and subjected to considerable violence,
until he was rescued by the police. and
taken away. A medical examination
proved that he had sustained the frac-
ture OF ono rib in the left side.
Nor long ago, writes London cor
respondent, an eminent English au-
tloress was leaving nm afternoon con.
cert in London, when two old ladies'
from the country, finding that she was
the writer of books that had delighted
them, rushed up to her and begged
permission to kiss her hand. The au-
thoress blushed deeply and began tug
giing at her tight-titting glove. The
glove was only withdrawn after q min
ute or two of effort, causing much en-
barrassment to the modest authoress.
A French gentleman, who had Witness
ed the proceeding, remarked that If it
had been George Sand she would in
stantly have thrown her arms around
the old women and kissed each on both
cheeks.
A QUAcK doctor in France recently
got himself into trouble. A man ap-
piled to him for advice concerning his
wife, who was deficient in intellect, and
was recommended to administer cold
shower baths. The husband accord
ingly tied his wife to q tree, up which he
climbed, and from his elevation, drench-
ed his wife with large watering pot.
The unfortunate woman died next day
from the effects of his treatment, and
both the husband and his medical ad-
wiser are accused of having caused her
death.
The Mantpa vase, left among tho ef-
fects of the late Duke Charles to &C.
neva, has, by mutual arrangements be-
tween the authorities of the city and
the reigning Duke of Brunswick, been
awarded to the latter, and will thus
pass from the possession Of the canon.
By this concession the remaining points
in dispute have been adjusted, and all
further claims upon the property aban-
doned. The historical but not very
beautiful vase has been variously esti-
mated at worth from 100, OOOf. to $780,
O0Of., but of course it's great value
arises from it's historic character.
The German government through its
agent at the recent sale of the late
Baron Rotschild's stud of horses, pur-
chased three year old stallion colt for
5000 guineas. The animal will be
used for breeding purposes and will be
an invaluable addition to the govern
ment stock of thoroughbred horses.
It is in this manner that the cavalry
service of the Prussian government is
rendered so effective, and is able to pre-
sent 80 splendid an appearance on
parade and do such brilliant work in
the field.
The tree which adorns the center of
the square of Nosetto at Bellinzona, in
the Canton of Tessin, and which bore
testimony in 1872 to the constancy of
the ''revisionist" citizens of that CAPT.

for q fete. Three escutcheons have
been affixed to the trunk of the tree,
bearing the following historical dates
