Expensive POliteneSS.

It is a critical moment in the life and
clothing Of a man when he gets down
on his knees to look under the sofa for
ball of zephyr that a lady friend has
dropped. It is possible that he may be
able to accomplish this and recover his
perpendicular with nothing more seri-
Gus than very red face and general
sense of having done something for
which he should be sent from tile room.
But IN nine cases out of ten he never
fully RECEIVERS the good opinion OF him.
self that he possessed before he under
took the recovery of that ball. It is al
ways just beyond his reach, and in
moment of weakness he drops on his
vest, and comm ences to work himself
under the sofa by series Of acrobatic
feats that would have won him an en-
core on the stage. He is SO intent upon
the recovery of the ball that he quite
forgets his appearance until he is re-
minded by a suppressed litter from one
of the ladies' Then he realizes the stu
alton, and commences to back out. OF
course, his coat is worked up over his
head, and as he feels cold streak creep
up his back he pronounces a benedic-
ton on the man who invented an open
back shirt. He is also painfully con-
scious that about two inches Of red fan
mel drawers are visible between the tops
of his boots and the bottom of his trous-
ers. This has the effect of producing
more internal profanity and still more
violent struggles to back out, during
which one suspenler breaks and his
collar-button comes out. When he fin
ally delivers himself, and stands up in
the middle of the room, you would not
recognize in that red-faced, wild-eyed
man, standing there holding his clothes
together with one hand, and trying to
smooth down his hair with the other,
the smiling, genteel ladies'-man who
stopped down to pick up that ball Of
zephyr a moment before.

A New YORK special of the 9TH inst.
states that novel encounter of the
Gillian and Peruvian forces took place
April 16, Oft the mouth Of the river
Loax, between the Peruvian wooden
crovets Union and Pilcomgo and the
CHILEAN steam sloop Maggalens. After
the engagement, which lasted over two
hours, the Maggalens being faster
vessel than those opposing, steam
ed away. No mention is made
Of the casualties. The Mag
galens carried twenty-one 50 Founders,
and four 70 pound guns; the Union
carries twelve 70 Founders, and the Pill
camago two 20 Founders and 40 pound
ers. The Chilians in Lima and Callao

the ships loading guano to leave
within AZ hours, and has, with his guns,
destroyed costly loading apparatus at
the guano deposits and seized other
property of the English subjects. 1t is

CASUALTIES.

A CHICAGO dispatch of May 8th says
at about II 80 o'clock last night, as an
elevator in the fremont house was leav-
ing the second floor, and descending,
Mrs. Henry Lighter, of Peoria, who had
just left 1t by some understandable
means, slipped and fell, and her head
coming between the floor and the de-
scending arch of the elevator, was
crushed so terribly that the lady died in
a few minutes thereafter. The proprie-
tors of the house were very reticent,
and the facts could only be learned
early this forenoon; the whole truth
will probably come out for the first time
before the coroner's jury. Mr.. Lighter
was with his wife at the time, but was
unable to do anything, SO quickly was
the accident over. losG te.r7gH s4gt
A STRATFoRD, Ontario dispatch of the
9Th says that few minutes before 10
O'Clock Sunday, the whole earth was
shaken as if by an earthquake. Win
dows were blown out, pedestrians were
blown down, etc. The cause was that a
car laden with dynamite had exploded
at the Grand Trunk freight yard. The
wreck beggars description. Under the
dynamite car hole several feet deep
was scooped out. A brick freight shed
and portion of the roof of another
were blown down. Several frame
buildings were levelled to the ground,
and long strings of freight cars
in the yard were utterly destroyed. The
business part of the town is nearly a
mile from the scene OF explosion, but it
shared in the disaster. Valuable plate
glass windows were broken into frag-
ments. The damage done to property
is estimated at many thousands of dol
lars. Two railway employes-Frank
Lemoine, of Montreal, and Thomas
Dolan, of Stratford-were blown into
fragments. The foot Of one was found
200 yards off. Other persons were in
jured but the extent of the disaster
cannot be known for some time vet. q.

WHY Garibaldi is in Rome.
London Truth, April II.

h The true motive of the journey is
perfectly known to the friends Of the,
General, and is of the most private de-
scription possible. It has reference
solely to the disposal of his property
among his children. The circumstances
of the case are curious enough, and
they are too much of a matter of his
tory not to be stated plainly. Carl
baldi, as is generally known, had three
children by Anita, the faithful COM
panion of his Italian acampaigns-to
wit A daughter, Teresita, now Signora
Canzio, and two sons, Menotti and Bic
.ciotti. By another woman, Francesca,
he has two more living children. Gle
liza and Merrilio. On the other hand,
he was married to Signora Raimondi,
who, after the wedding, made a confes-
sion, in consequence of which he left
her at once and forever. Now it re-
suits from the above circumstances,
under the Italian law, that the only law
full heir. to any property left by Cara
baldi is child which is not his own,
but Raimondi's. 50 The said property,
by the way, IS composed of the 3d. 900
livre a year voted by the italian parlia-
ment in perpetuity to Garabaldl and
his descendants in the direct line. The
journey OF the General, therefore, to
Rome is for no other reason than the
ACCESSIBILITY of contriving some legal
or extra legal arrangement by which
his family should profit by the reverslon
of the annuity to the exclusion of the
strange child. An act of parliament
giving the annuity in trust to the ex-
ecutors of Garibaldi will most probably
be resorted to.

Nor long ago, in Calcutta, two tigers

Nor long ago, in Calcutta, two tigers
escaped from their cage in the menag-
erie. One of them was instantly killed,
but the other swan the river. sprang
into the Botanic Garden and killed
one of the guards, upon which the
spectators were panic stricken and fed.
The tiger roamed around all day, lord
of the garden, and as he grew hungry,
killed first one OK, then another. An
armed native, who tried to approach
the wild beast was at once torn to
pieces. At last several rifiemen were
employed to destroy the destroyer.
They tied an OK to tree at the garden
gate, and took their station on the roof
of an adjacent house. The tiger rush
ed upon the OK, and a volley from the
rihemen ended his career. sua sufat

MISSOURI is preparing to adopt the
bell-punch for bar-rooms. The advo-
Gates of the bell-punch system of taxing
liquor sellers claim that it will be more
equitable than the present arbitrary
State tax of $50 year, and that it will
cause the number of low whisky shops
to decrease and the consumption Of
beer to increase. The St. Louis Dis
patch estimates that every year 6O0,O
barrels of beer are brewed In St. Louis,
and that one-third ofthis product is sold
in the city at retail. Two hundred
thousand barrels, at half a cent q glass
SO barrel-would yield 100000. The
amount derived from alcoholic liquors
at a cent glass would probably be as
much more, making total of 81 ,2OO,-
900. The Dispatch. adds that this is a
large income, but the questionis, Would
it ever be collected? al .7sseruus zd5 81

The national board of health has ad-
dressed letter to Secretary Thompson.
asking the advice and cooperation of
the navy department in carrying into
execution the act approved April Is,
1879, providing for the construction of
a refrigerating and disinfeeting ship.
The board has duly considered the mer-
its of refrigeration as a means of disin-
fiction of vessels infected with yellow
fever, and has decided that, while it is
not sufficient probable that such artiic-
ial refrigeration as could be obtained in
aa infected vessel at southern port
during the summer would so thorough
ly disinfect it as to obviate the necessi-.
ty of taking other precautions, yet it
might be of great assistance especially
In permitting the discharge of the cargo,
and thorough cleansing of the ship with
out danger. to those engaged in the
work. The question as to what partic-
ular kind Of ship or refrigerating appa-
ratus is best adapted 10 attain the OBJ
jects aimed at by the bill is one which,
in the opinion of the board. it is not com
petent to decide. Ittherefore requests
the secretary of the navy to organize
special board or commission of naval
experts and engineers, to whom all the
plans and specifications gamble referred,
and wholshall report as speedily as pos
sible upon e the subject Secretary
Thompson, in pursuance of this request,
