6 The Black Museum.''

"The Black Museum " is room at the
London Police Headquarters in which
during the last three years pieces de con-
viction have beee arranged and labelled,
forming ahastly, squalid and suggestive
show. The London Spectator thus de-
scribes it:
"Along the wall on the right side of
the room is ranged choice collection of
guns, crowbars and 'jimmies the latter
are implements of the house breaking in
dustry, which admit of great variety and
are susceptible ofhighly artistic handling;
and among them is pair of tongs, un-
evenly rusted and with dirty paper
book, written all over with incoEerent
sentences attached to it. The tongs arc
those with which q man named McDon-
aid killed his wife about two years ago.
The book is, it seems to the visitor, a
record of various phases of the mans
insanity. They hanged him though, and
also the greater number of the proprietors
of the horrid, labelled assortment Of ham,
mers, knives including The bread, carv-
ing and pocket varieties-razors and
pistols, which suggest cutler's] booth in
a fair. There is dried blood on all the
knives and razors, and on some Of the
hammers, and every one Of them stands
for murder or suicide; in = terrible
number of cases, for the murder of wife
by her husband.
Several of the pistols, mostly beautiful
weapons, are the instruments of suicide,
and each is labelled with the name, date
and place. The simple suicides are al
most all among the higher class Of socie-
ty, and when the visitor asks how the pis-
tol with which a gentleman Of wealth
and station shot himself has como into
the keeping of the Museum, he is told
"The family mostly do not like to have it,
and so they ask the police to take it
away" In corner hang the clothes .

wife at Stockwell; the horse-pistol with
which he shot her, and the heavy ham,
mer which he bought to knock the nails

When the pilot of the Louisville, KY,
ferry boat Whathen rang to start on the

supposed to have resulted from heart disease

A Fort Walsh letter, dated Nov: lst,
says Sitting Bulls future home is to be on
Kcd Deer river. It is said his band will be &C.
cretly guarded by police, but the most eff.
saent guard over him will be that of his neigh:
bors, the Blackfeet and Crees. Red Deer river
is much favored by buffalo and smaller game,
and Sitting Bull will find good market for
his skins with the Hudson Bay Co. Three
days ago he was told by Col. Mcleod to hold
himself in readiness to move to his new quar-
ters; that the queen had through her" servant
at Ottawa provided good home for him.
where he could live at peace. Sitting Bull
made an eloquent reply, saying: II came to

driven. by the Americans. Thev broke their
treaties with my people, and when i rose up

The New Minister to Enxland.

The opposition to the confirmation of
John Welsh as minister to England has been
strengthened by the alleged discovery of the
fact that the Philadelphia firm of which Mr.
Welsh is a member is the owner in Cuba of
sugar plantation and large number of slaves,
The friends Of Mr.. Welsh seem to have been
taken somewhat by surprise by these deycl-
opmcnts, which, it must be confessed, have
the appearance of gcnuincness. Their ex
planation is, that the firm in question, beiuy
engaged in the West Indies sugar trade, hav
been compelled to take mortgages upon
plantations rs security for advances to plant
crs, and that the slaves, as an Indispensable
and inscparab'c part Of the realty, have in
this manner come into the firms possession.
Unless Mr.. Welsh can succeed in disconnect-
ing his name entirely from the
imputation of ownership or pecuniary inter-
sstin the Cuban slaves, he will not be likely
to overcome the intense prejudice which the
mdlsputcd facts would create against him.
