\ good story is told of an adventure

A good story is told of an adventure
which recently happened to Capoul IN
st. Petersburg, showing that one could
never be negligent in correspondents
on business affairs. One day, as the
young tenor was leaving his hotel to az
tend a rehearsal, q stamped paper.
printed IN Russia, was put into his
hand. He placed it in his pocket with
out removing it, and straightway forget
it. Four days later q similar paper was
handed to him, and this shared the fate
OF the first. Yet few days thereafter,
as Capoul was about leaving his apart
ments to take the train for Vienna, two
gentlemen, clad in fur pehsses, called 10
see him. He invited tnem in, and hold
ing out a cigar box with hospitaBle in
tent, was h0rrited to see one OF the gen.
tlemen put the cigar box under his arm.
and likewise to hear him demand his
watch. Capoul was about to spar the
men out OF The room, when one OF them
informed hlm that he was sshuissier.n
or bailiff, and had come to take posses.
sion. 1t seems that Capoul had indorsed
q note for an artist friend in France, who
had not paid 1t, and it had been sent on
to Russia or collection. The first print
ed paper was q notice to Capoui to come
into court, where he mad been coa-
demned Wy default; the second was q
command, and as neither was oDeyed
the ''huissier" came. Capoups trunks
had gone to Vienna, SO the deputy
stripped the tenor, leaving him, as the
French papers say, 'Sust enough to 60
to bed witn," simply because he refused
to pay the note. BY morning Capoul
thought better of the matter, and, after
giving security, was allowed TO take his
effects and depart for Vienna.

NEWS FROM THE OLD WORLD.

LONDON, June 2.-The Times money

ures that the rumors which prevailed
for some days previous to yesterdays
announcement may, and probably have
been, the salvation of many who set to
work vigorously curtailing their liabili-
ties and increasing their cash balances.

gross exaggeration.
A deputatiOn from the Anti-slayery
Society, comprising Sir L. Basley, Tay-
lor, Corbett, Pease, Kinnaird and Evalyn
Ashley, all members Of Parliament, yes
terday evening presented memorial to
Lord Derby, urging on the Government
the duty Of taking decisive steps by way
of friendly meditation TO bring about an
equitable termination of The war in Cuba
and the abolition of the slave trade. Mr..
Ashley said as the United States had re-
linquished the idea of annexing Cuba,
its good offices might be relied on to sup
port this movement. Others of the dele
CATION called attention to the atrocities
in the coolie traffic.
Lord Derby replied that the Govern
ment had no right to interfere in the
coOlie question. An assertion made by
the memorlalists that the Cuban war
was fast eliminating in favor of the In
surgents was at least premature. He
did not think Spain would view any pro-
posals OF mediation tavorably. She
would doubtless answer, "We must first
finish the Carlists; then we shall have
all our forces disposable for finishing the
war in Cuba"
