A BRuTE.-A man by the name of
Louis Loose, in San Francisco,
brutally murdered his wife on
Christmas, by kicking and stamp
ing her to death. He crushed in
her teeth and jaws with his boot
heels, and so mutilated her that it
was almost impossible to recognize
her. He afterwards went to the
station house and complained of
her as being drunk and unmanage-
able, and accounted for her injuries
in that manner. If there is justice
this ferocious animal should be
hanged.

INVITING ON FACTS.
(From the New York WeekIy.)

Did you ever hear a man and his wife quar-.
rel? -. - d
We have. In fact. g have Just been
listening to a very animated discussion be-
tween one of the %"naturaI protectors'' of love-
ly women and the partner Of his joys and
sorrows"
1t began about q pair of boot lacings.
He bought them.
She said they were not long enough. Hea
said they were! She told him she kne1. and
he remarked, eyes, of course, she always
knew everything" ID z..a q. 81
After that, things are extremely lively.
The war Of words ran high. The very Aias
on the window stopped buzzing to listen, and
Mr.. calls Mrs. a liar, o %tattler, a woman OF
doubtful character, and various other epithets
not pleasant to listen to. .-
She retaliated by ingrming him that he
was a cheat, q rascal, a scamp, and a betrayer
Of female innocence! IS.
And both bore this torrent of abuse, and
neither boiled over. And Why ? Simply be-
cause these things were not facts, aud each
party knew it. 80. .a.o ....., ,aa
But presently Mr.. Xix overstepped the
bounds, and told her that Mrs. Mix, who was
her mother, had been ia the poor house ! and
then the blood OF the Mixes rose, and she made.
a plunge for her husbands foretop, and in.
formed him that she would as leave be in the
poor house as to rob graves for q living!
Which was a spiteful fling at the memory Ok
Hix's grandfather, who was supposed to have
supplied q medical college with "subjects' occs4
sionally. q -.
After that, the INVITING on facts became eanef,
al, and in the ensuing FIVE minutes we learned
more oil the personal history Of the Hikes and
Mixes than we ever knew before, though they
had lived neighbours to us all their lives. !
Now, what is the moral 10. 9ea 40
Simply this. Avoid twittihg. on facts. No.
body likes to be tainted with misfoFtunesfwhich
they cannot help. lLeast Of ell do they like be.
ing twltted with the faults of their relatives.
Little minds are fond oftwitting. =
You have all hsard~4he story of the man
and wife who equarreled,j and were divorced.

MIS- o s .
From the SPECTATOR

The Goloss, a paper published in st.
Petersburg, argues, in an article which
has attracted great attention, that the
league of the Three Emperors is in dan
ger. It was formed for the maintenance
of peace, and is strained when one of the
three wishes to go to war. Russia desires
peace, and her most natural ally is Britain,
which, like herself, from geographical
position, is essentially pacific:-"1f the
English are once satisfied that Russia
does not think of invading India, the
primary cause of past misunderstanding
would be removed, and a perfect agree
ment might be effected on the principal
points of Central-Asian politics. We have
often contended that we are not the
enemies Of the English in Asia, and that
we may be their friends, if they will only
believe in the sincerity Of our sentiments,
and throw no difficulties in our way. If
the EnglislN can once be made to under
stand that Rdssia's extension to the
northern decliUity of the hills surrounding
India will only strengthen England's hold
OF India, and do away with all fear of
Invasion and lnsurrection, all would be
WELL" The Pail Mall Gazette says that
in. the original the words we have ~italicis-
ed signify g to the SUBMITS of the hills"
q monstrous pretension, to which England
could never yield. An alliance with
Russia in Asia would be very convenient,
but we fear, for the reasons stated at
length elsewhere, it would be impossible.
1t would be an agreement between the
shore and the wave never to encroach upon
each other. The shore would keep it,
perforce, but the wave2

courage OF their convictions; but if Mr..
Crossis too timid for this, why not pass an
Act forbidding the recovery Of penalties,
unless the Attorney-G General has assented
to the prosecution Or if even that,is too
much-and we have Scotland to think Of
let the municipal authorities alone have
the right to prosecute. They, even if
they are rigid, will give notice, and not
jump upon u%nsuspecting people to plumber
them.
The Kammergericht of Berlin has deci.
ded against Count Arnim. 1t declares
that the First Court was wrong in finding
him guilty Of ENFORCEMENT, but holds
him guilty of having deliberately removed
or secreted documents officially entrusted
to him, and therefore increases his sentence
from three months Imprisonment to nine.
An appeal will, it is stated. be made TO
the Supreme Tribunal, pm the ground that
the proceedings in tl1l(First Court were
null, that Court not RS.ing Jurisdiction to
try the cease. The Second Court in it's
judgment avoids this point by the remark
that defendant had not made his protest
in time, but Count Arnim's counsel argue
that no default of his could invest a Court
with q jurisdiction which did not belong
to it. The Count remains still inEItaly.

clergy would be welcome in zanzi-
bar, because there they might embrace
the true faith, and he may possibly enter
tain the idea of sending a few Mohammedau
missionaries to convert the English. If they
were white and knew English, they might
have as much success as the Mormons, and
a guard of English Mussulmans would be a
formidable addition to the strength of any
Asiatic kingdom.
