AN improved torpedo of the White.
head or fish pattern has been tested At
the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and been
sent to Portsmouth for . course of sea
trials. It is capable of high rate of
speed and maintains its velocity for .
considerable range. It Is also cheaper,
and as each torpedo costs about $1.50,
this is considerable advantage. The
purchase of the eecret from Mr.. White.
head costs the British government, with
the improvements altogether, -, 750, 900.
Many attempts have, Of course, been
made to discover the secret of manufac
ture, and in one instance the authorities
were outwitted by . respectable looking
man, who informed the officials that he
had invented an improvement in the
propeller, and induced them to allow
him to take away part of the machinery.

Anton Florenz, of Vienna, Austria, who
had eloped from that city with one
Matthew Shuk, and whose abandonment
and effort at suicide was reported in these
dispatches, died at O'Clock to-day of
her wound. The case is most singular
one. She shot herself in the head on
June IA, ball weighing thirty grains
entering her brain. After being severed
into four pieces probably by contact
with bones, three of these pieces
weighing ~ grains were removed by
surgeons and the wound appeared in a
fair way to recover. Since the shooting
she feared her husband was willing TO
forgive her and then she appeared anx-
ious to live, but during the last few days
she sank rapidly, dying today.

THERE is an alarming increase IN the
mortality from consumption IN New
Orleans. The mild and equable climate
was considered beneficial for persons
with consunlptive tendencies, and many
came from colder ATTITUDES to take
refuge in New Orleans from the rigors
of northern winters. Last weeks NOR
tuary report records the death of twenty
four persons from consumption. At
this rate the mortality would for the

The gradual process of emancipation
which has for eight years been IN force
in Brazil, seems to be working salts
factorily. In recent report the MN
lister of agriculture says that under this
system 1 3S3 slaves have been liberated
by the state, by purchase from the
owners, since September, Is, 1871, the
date of Nisconde do Rio Branco's free
birth law, and the balance of the
emancipation fund in hand, collected
up to the end OF 1873, will suffice to
redeem 5000 more. But he estimates
the private emancipation IN the same
