BRITISH TOPICS.

BIZ fish TOPICS.
Doings and Sayings of our Transatlantic
Cousins.
From the London Geographic CORE
spondence of the New York Herald we
CLEAN the following interesting items:
Scurvy. An Admiralty committee,
under Admiral Hope, is investigating
the appearance of scurvy in the Arctic
expedition.
Small o1.-Small-pox has slightly
increased of late in London. The
Queen has had herself vaccinated and
has given instructions for the vaccination
of the imperial household.
I'atocication.-The painful statement
is made of an alarming increase OF in
toxicatlon, generally among women.
Thirty thousand arrests for intemper-
ance were made in the metropolis during
the holiday season.
Walkigag.-Weston and OLeary, the
American pedestrians, have completed
the terms of match to come off in April
for So, 900, and to cover six days. Wes-
ton is backed by Sir John Ashley.
V5visectiom. The anti-vivisection
movement is attracting new interest.
Complaints are made that Mr.. Gross, the
Home Secretary, has failed to enforce
the acts limiting vivisection. A remon-
stratory memorial is proposed.
american Bee .-The importations of
American beef have proved great sue
cess. The Sheffield butchers have been
compelled to reduce the price Of domes-
tic beef pence (6 cents) per pound,
in order to compete with the American
meat.
Spirituolisma and LoaU. - The case
of Slade, the Spiritualist, will soon be
heard, and will attract great attention.
England alone is not moving in this mat
ter. The legal tribunal at AK has in
validated a will lately on the ground
that the party was unduly influenced by
Spiritualism. When church gets a fat
bequest there is no such outcry.
MiGed Marriages. Cardinal Man
ming has issued mandate compelling
the parties to mixed marriages to con-
tent themselves with the Catholic ser,
vice, and to omit the Protestant, both
being often used by very scrupulous
people to make sure the knot is proper
~ tied. The Cardinal also gives the
church absolute control over the educa-
ton of children.
Handsome Presents. presents
collected by the Prince of Wales during
his Indian tour are now valued at $780,
600. The radical journals hope that the
Prince will now pay his debts. Untor-
tunately, however, the majority of his
creditors are only too willing to wait,
and if His Royal Highness was to spend
all is time giving postobdts he would
doubtless have takers all the time.
Sanitary M0tters.-Unusual interest
is taken in the discussion of the sanitary
conditions of modern life. Professor
Tyndall's lecture on Infections in the at
mosphere has been the most recent val
liable contribution to this subject. The
model city called Hygeia, under the di-
rection of DR.. Richardson, on the south
coast, will, it is understood, embody the
best results of medical knowledge.
Interest in the Presidential Question.
Very general interest is felt in the
American Presidential question, and
there is general expectation of peace
full solution. The newspapers are con-
graduating America on the display of
common sense, patriotism and respect
for law shown in the present crisis, and
on the improving condition Of her
financial position. It is admitted that
America ranks second only to England
in many of the markets of Europe.
NetO Party Lines an Eayl0aad.--
Speculation is rife here with regard to
Parliamentary rumor which is in cir
culation that the Conservatives will di
vide into two parties in consequence of
the well-known difference existing be-
tween the Marquis of Salisbury and
Lord BeacoDsfeld. It is also believed
that the Liberals will soon be divided
into Left and q Left Center, the one
under the leadership Of Mr.. Gladstone,
and the other under that of the Mar
quis of Harrington. The Radical Sec
ton of the Liberals are greatly dissat-
isfed with Lord Hartington's mediocre
abilities as leader and with the aris
tocratic tendencies he exhibits in his
party management.
