There Is an interesting anecdote of
a Coy, in one of the rudest parts of the
county of Glare, in Ireland, who in
order to destroy some eaglets lodged in
a hole 100 feet from the summit of a
rock, which rose 400 feet perpendicular
ly from the sea, caused himself to be
suspended by rope with a scimeter in
his hand for his defence, should he meet
with an attack from the old ones, which
precaution was found necessary, for nc
sooner had his companions lowered him
to the mast than one OF the old eagles
made at hiLi with great fury, at which
he struck, but, unfortunately missing
his aim, nearly cut through the rope
that supported him. Describing his
horrible situation to his comrades, they
cautiously and safely drew him up, when
it was found that his hair, which a
quarter of an hour before was dark
auburn, was changed to gray.
-During thu siege OF Gibraltar, in
1883, the Count d'Artois came to st.

While his Highness WAS inspecting the
lines, in company with the Duke de
CrilOn. they both alighted with their
suite, and oil lay fat upon the ground
to avoid the effects of bOmb that fell
near a part Vt the barracks where a
French woman had canteen. This
woman, who had two children in her
arms at the time, rushed. forth with
them, and having seated herself, With
the utmost sang frOid, on the bomb
shell, she put out the match, thus extri-
eating from danger all who were around
her, many of whom witnessed this cour
ageOus aud devoted act. His HighnesS
rewarded this intrepid female by be-
slowing on her a pension OF francs
day, aud engaged to promote her hus'
band after the seige; while the Duke
de CrillOn, intimating the generous ex'
ample of the Prince, insured to her
likewise a daily payment of 8 francs.

The funds for the construction of this
vast trunk line are secured by pledge
of one hundred million acres of land along
the line. This grant is to be conveyed
to commissioners of whom one is to be
appointed by the British Government,
and the other two by the parties in inter-
est, who will carefully guard the interests
of all. A very considerable portion of
the line is to be open for traffic within
two years from this time. The engineer,

ample room and justification for at least
two through lines across the Ameri-
can continent north of the United States.

OF tne most common of these complaints is Leu

The great prevalence of these disorders and their
