Carelessness and Longevity.

The experience of the English clergy
man, Canon Beadon, who lately died at
the age of one hundred and two years,
offers few suggestions to those who seek
to know how they may attain to long
life. He ate anything with impunity,
not only eating heartily at every meal,
but often nibbling biscuits, ect., between
meals. He drank moderately of wine,
and was to the last very fond of sweet
things. He never knew what headache
or rheumatism was, and when middle
aged man could and would go out shoot
ing from morning until night, exposed
with no ill-effect to cold and wet. At
ninety-seven he had the first severe i'll
ness of his ife-an attack of bronchitis.
Up to this time he had performed service
in his church every Sunday, with his
regular three months duty in Wells
cathedral, his voice continuing distinct
and powerful. To the day of his death
he never lapsed into anything like
"second childishness." Possibly the
explanation of his very long and healthy
life lies in this: He had most imper-
turbabls temper and singularly even
spirits, and would not allow anything to
worry him. He had many an enter
tanning remembrance; not the least of
them was being held up to the window
by his nurse to see the soldiers in the
street during the Lord George Gordon
riots. This was in 1880; the future
Canon was then three years old.

The amour cement of the death of Mrs.

true. The mistake arose from the death of
Mrs. F. w. Sartoris, formerly Adelaide
Kemble.

How They Turned Black.

In the Island of Ceylon small force
Of native gunners is maintained to do
the drudgery-work of the royal artillery.
The men are called Gun Lascars, and
except that they are not intrusted with
the sole management OF the ordinance,
are disciplined and dressed precisely the
same as the royal artillery; indeed they
are the counterfeit of that corps, bar
their black faces. A battery of artillery
fresh from England was being landed at
Colombo, and few of the Lascars were
on the wharf. The European arrivals,
unaware of the existence of their cop
per-colored "slavery," were anxiously
inquiring who and what the Integers
in blue and gold were, niggers in uni
form, 50 like themselves. ''Sergeant,"
says one man, addressing veteran,
"who is that bombardier-him with the
Christy- Minstrels'- burned corked-face %
"Him! Why, don't you know him?
Tommy Atkins, Of the A Battery. Sure,
you remember him at Woolwichp'
"Tommy! That Tommy? Why, SER
geant, he's blackr' "Of course he's
black" replies the sergeant. cts the
hot sun as does it all. First it browns,
then it reddens, and then-if you stay
here long enough-it blackens you, just
as you see Tread toasting afore the fire.
Atkins has been in Colombo twelve
years; and if you are not in Bailey's
godowns,' (Anglice, the grave-yard) by
that time, to Tommy's complexion you'll
come, and a shade or two blacker per-
haps. Write that to your sweetheart by
the next overland mail" Chambers

any of them. The people did not
begin to leave until the waves were
literally breaking the hotel to pieces, then
there was stampede. All the baggage,
furniture, ETC., went to destruction. John
Hughes, son of Major Hughes, of Newbern,
lost his life in the wreck. Front street at
Beaufort is strewn with lumber, trunks and
goods. Crowds of people, some barefooted,
are trying to identify their property.
The Ocean View House and other hotels at
Beaufort were damaged badly, and many
private houses ruined. There is not a
wharf left in Beaufort, and only two or
three of her hundreds of sail boats are fit
to sail in. Towns all along the coast report
long list of casualties to crafts and prop
erty, but happily no loss of life.

7th Of the month and Mrs. Charles was
living alone. She had not been seen for
day or two by the neighbors and they
suspicioned something wrong. Sheriff
Commit was called on, and he
visited the house, and broke
open the door; on entering, the
stencil in the house was intolerable.
The woman was found partially undress-
ed in the bed, and decomposition COM
menced. A bottle which had contained
strychnine told the tale. A letter was
found which she had written before
committing suicide, giving instructions
OF different natures, and closing with the

Suffering I'm Canada.

The United States consul at Quebec says !:
Fire and a half million of capital has been
entirely wiped out by the failure of the
Consolidated Exchange and Vile Marie,
besides great loss to deposito,s and bill
holders of half million more. But worse
than all is the condition of the working
classes. During the past winter there was
scarcely any employment, and it is estimat-
ed that there are not less than seven thou
sand workingmen at present out OF employ
ment in Quebec and suburbs. Controver.
sizes about distribution of small amounts of
work to be done eliminated in the riot of
the 10Th. 1t is entirely question of bread,
and as repression does not feed the hungry,
the situation is anything but agreeable.

TIE Mofett bell-punch continues to be
a source of great annoyance to the reve-

dealers of Virginia. No less than twenty
dealers in Alexandria were served with
notices by the Corporation Court the

licenses should not be revoked. The
success with which the provisions of the

well as source Of much vexation and

The Fisheries question.

The claim for $1O3, 900 damages on account
of illegal Interference with American fisher
men at Fortune bay, which has been pre-
scented to the British government, is not a
claim for the restoration of that or any
other part of the Halifax award upon ground
of non-fulfllment of conditions. The state
of affairs which prevails between our north
coast fishermen and British American fish
ermen, who consider themselves justified in
using force to carry out local prohibitary
laws, is regarded by our government as ex-
tremely dangerous and liable at any moment
to lead to bloodshed and serious interna-
tional misunderstanding, and it is therefore
very anxious that some steps shall be taken
by the British government to do away with
local prohibitary laws of the Canadian prov
inces, which now practically override and
nullify the treaty provisions of far higher
authority,
