Too Soon.

A poor woman lay very i'll. in her
scantily- home in Sheffield.
The doctor was sent for and came. He
at once saw that hers was very grave
case, and that che had, as he thought.
little chance of recovery even if she
could get the nourishment her illness re-
CURED. AS he was about to leave, the
question was put ''When shall we send
for you again, doctor ?" "Well, was
the reply, as he looked at the poor
woman, and then at her wretched sur
roundings, "don't think you need send
for me again. She cannot possibly get
better ;sand, to save you further trouble,
I'll just write you out a certificate for heI
burial" And he did. After the doctor
departed the woman grew better rapidly.
She has now completely recovered, and
goes about carrying her burial certificate
with her.-Shebield Telegraph.

Premature Burial.

Another lucky escape from burial alive
has occurred in Paris in the case of q
lawyer named Lelone. His son, sum
moned to his death-bed, found him, as
it was supposed, dead, kissed his brow,
and was surprised ct its warmth. Some
hours later he revived and said "Ah,
doctor, those few moments sleep have
done me world of good" The French
laws require that interment shall follow
death within, at most, thirty-six hours,
and thus it often happens that burial
takes place previous to putrefaction. 1t
was against this limited time imposed by
the Burial bill that an eminent prelate

My companion and myself were invited
way back of his armory, to take glass
of wine with him. In his parlor was
shown gold medal which was given
him by the Captain General of Cuba at
the request of the Queen of Spain.
Lulu informed me that while youth
he was carried away from Barcelona,
Spain, by Mediterranean pirates. He
remained with them year or two; made
his escape, and came to this country.
He had been sailor, and subsequently
fencing master. Ho was 60 years of

Running Amuck i'm Malacca.

Psychologists have argued that the
well-known habit of running amuck Is
simply homicidal monomania, form
of disease, in fact. But our English au-
thorities in Perak have taken different
view; and, since they have insisted on
formally executing offenders, they seem
to have put decided check on the prac-
tice. The police are provided with a
huge pitch-fork, meant to take the mad
man alive when he turns at bay. A Ma
lay, Maj. Mems air tells us, will say, "My
eyes got dark, and ran in" When the
terrible cry, "Amuck, amuck y is sud
denly raised IN the street, there is gen.
eral scramble to get out of the way.

SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION.

The conservatives who questioned
the wisdom of Beaconsdeld's eastern
policy, and predicted that the diplo-
matte arrangement at Berlin would
prove to have settled nothing for Euro
pean peace, while it involved England
In new and weighty responsibilities. po-
litiral, moral and financial, without ad-
equate returns, are winning numerous
adherents in view Of current events.
Little heed is given to the sensational
assertions that Russia proposes to re-
new an aggressive war. But everybody
sees that she has neither been put In
bonds, nor compelled to retire from her
menacing position.
The Afghanistan policy Is also criti-
cised as another blunder, because war
with the ameer, even though the Brit
ish arms shall achieve success In the
field, will diplomatically level the noun
tain barriers still separating Russia
from British India, and give the car
active sympathizers and invaluable al
lies, IL ever in the future he shall JUS
tify the English Jealousy and distrust
of his purposes, which afford the mo-
tive for the Afghanistan campaign.
There is decidedly an uneasy feeling
in Intelligent circles, caused by the con-
viction that unless the British policy is
radically changed, next spring will find
England again involved in an expen-
sive war, at time when the country
economy and reduced taxation, in Or
der to revive her languishing industries
and relieve popular distress. Some of
the wisest among the conservative lead
ers are beginning to inquire why Eng
land should not abandon her traditional
jealousy of Russia, and her policy based
thereon, and make of her friend and
ally, as was done with France, under
the late empire. Allies for common
interests and against common rivals.
The public mind found temporary re-
lief when it was announced that the
ameer was not to bs punished until
spring, notwithstanding it had been
originally maintained that the Afghan
istan campaign was Indispensable to
British honor. But now we are all at
sea again because of the sudden sum-
moning of the cabinet council Friday,
at IA season of the year which English
statesmen usually devote to rural re-
pose. This is believed to indicate graver
actualities than are superncally appa-
rent. Only one thing is clear; Russia
persists in taking no step backward.

TROUBLE ABOUT FIsH.-There j

TROUBLE ABOUT FIsH.-There is
some sharp correspondence going on
between Secretary Evarts and. the Mar
quis Of Salisbury. 1t is on the question
Of the fishery awards, or rather upon a
little matter dependent upon those
awards. On January 9th number Of
American fishermen were driven from
their stations off New Foundland, their
fishing tackle destroyed and their busi-
ness ruined. The attention of the Brit
ish government was called thereto and
Capt. Sullivan was sent to investigate
the matter. He reports that the de-
struction of the American outfit was
iustifiable because local law forbids
fishing on Sunday, and the Americans
were violating that law. This view is
endorsed by the naughty Salisbury. Sec
retary Evarts replies that the Ameri-
cans were fishing under protection of a
treaty and pointedly inquiries whether u
local law rises superior TO that treaty.
The answer to this has not been received.
The time for the payment of the award
expires November oath, and unless some
satisfactory understanding is reached
by that time there will be some fun in
the coming session of congress.

Provincetown, Oct. 26.&The arctic
schooner Florence Tyson, supposed to
have been lost, arrived here this MORN
ing. The vessal sprung a leak near
Sable island on the let inst, and has
been pumping day and night since. The
last morsel of food on board was eaten
this morning. Capt. Tyson reports
there has not been such icy seas in the
North for thirty years. The crew are
all we'll.
At Cumberland Straits they took on
board a number of Esquimaux men
and women. During the passage to
Disco they were obliged to slowly work
their way through 200 miles of ice, and
the weather was very heavy the entire
passage, making it necessary to keep
the hatches bolted down most Of the
time. At Disco they expected to meet
the expedition steamer, but after wait
ing In vain many days, ON the =22d of
August returned to Cumberland Straits.
On this passage they experienced sew
eral terrific gales, during one of which
the vessel was hove to four days, drift
ing helplessly among the immense Ice
berga During these four days death
constantly stared them in the face.
They at length reached Cumberland
Straits on the 3lst of August, and re-
mained there nearly fortnight to rest.
On the 18th of September they set
sail for home, and until they reached
st. Johns, Sept %. experienced sue
cession of heavy gales. They remained
there until the 18th inst, and again on
sailing experienced beavy gales, during
one of which the schooner sprung a
leak south of Sable Island, since which
time they have been obliged to keep
constantly at the pumps. To add to
this discomfort the supply of provisions
failed.
The lowest thermometer was 5ao be-
low zero.
