20 The Prince of Wales, Sneech.

All the interest of Tuesday evening
conferred in the Upper Chamber. The
rumor had gone forth that the Prince of
Wales was to make his maiden speech
in. the Lords in support of Lord Hough-
toms bill for legalizing marriage with a
deceased wife's sister. Consequently
there was very full house. No less
than fifteen Bishops were present, in
Guiding the Bishop of London. the dire
opponent of the bill The two Arch
bishops were absent. The rod benches
were nearly filled with noble lords, and
the galleries above held a good many
noble ladies, though not so many as had
been expected to be present. The de-
mands for admittance on the part of
strangers were very numerous, and the
galleries allotted to them were simply
crammed.
To judge from appearances it seemed
likely that his Royal Highness really
was going to address "My Lord" He
was sitting in his usual place, and had
by him portentous roll of paper, the
meaning OF which presently appeared.
At the bar was standing the Duke OF
Edinburgh. The private business hav-
ing been disposed Of, the Prince rose,
and, carrying the roll to the table, an
nounced that it was petition signed by
more than 5000 farmers, in Norfolk, in
favor of the bill. His Royal Highness
then went on to add (and this was
the SPECIFY that he presented the
petition with great pleasure, and that
he should give his warm support to Lord
Houghton's bill. This was all. Noble
lords waited about in the expectation of
hearing the Prince subsequently, make
set speech, but they were disappoin. ed.
His Royal Highness soon showed that
h had said all he had to say by leaving
b place and going to chat with his
brother, and Lord Stanley, Of Alderly,
who was then addressing the House.

IT is now said that owing to the pros
poets of the Roman Catholic church in
Scotland the pope will soon create car
dinal for the Scotland hierarchy. Scot
land has not had a cardinal for more
than three hundred years, when David
Beaton, or Bethune, as the name was
sometimes spelled, was cardinal arch
bishop of st. Andrews. This cardinal
was widely esteemed for his intellec-
tual requirements, both by James v.
Of Scotland and Francis l. But he was
fierce and uncompromising in his efforts
to stamp out Professionalism; and party
feeling ran so high that when IN 1916
he was killed and his corpse hanged
out of the window, Knox, on hearing
Of the ''godly fact" sent one hundred
and fifty men to the defense of his muir
derers, who were also protected by the
English government. But times have
changed since then; and men have
changed with them. The new cardi-
nal, if he is appointed, will quietly take
his place and will be on as good terms
with his Protestant neighbors as Cardi-
nal Manning is.

The gold production of Victoria, Au-
stralia, last year was only 755,754
ounces, being falling off from 1877 of
$4,000 ounces, or between 5 and per
cent. The decrease in the yield Of the
Victorian mines for long series of
years has been constant and consider
able. In 1870, for example, the pro-
duct, was l, 222,79S ounces, which shows
in the interval diminution of 467, 900
ounces, Or more than one-third.

The Tiger.

His whole frame is put together to ef-
feet destruction. In cutting up tiger
you are impressed with this. His ten
dons are masses Of nerve and muscle
as hard as steel. The muscular devel-
opment is tremendous. Vast bands and
layers of muscle overlay each other.
Strong ligim ents which you can scarce
lv cut through and which soon blunt
the sharpest knife, unite the solid, free
playing, loose jointed bones. The muz-
zle is broad and short and obtuse. The
claws are completely retractile. The
Jaws are short. There are two false
molars, two grinders above and the
same number below. The upper car
nivorous tooth has three lobes and an
obtuse heel; the lower has two lobes,
pointed and sharp, and no heel. There
is one very small t;berculous tooth
above as an auxiliary, and then the
strong back teeth, The muscles of the
jaw are Of tremendous power. I have
come across the remains Of buffalo
killed by tiger, and found all the
large bones, even the big strong bones
of the pelvis and large joints, cracked
and crunched like so many walnuts by
the powerful jaws Of the fierce brute.
The eye is peculiarly brilliant, and
when glaring with fury it is truly de-
moniac. With his bristles rigid, the
snarling lips drawn back, disclosing the
formidable fangs, the body crouching
for mis- spring, and the 1.-THE tail pulled
up and swollen. and flashing restlessly
from side to side, each muscle tense
and strung, and an undulating move
ment perceptibly like the motions of a
large snake, crouching tiger at bay is
a sight that strikes a certain chill to the
heart Of the on-looker. When he
bounds forward, with a roar that rever-
brates among the may labyrinths Of
the interminable jungle, he tests the
steadiest nerve and almost dannts the
bravest heart.

silent longer respecting the uneasy feel
ing that exists in the city. To those
who are accustomed to feel the pulse of

such as to remind one of occasions with
which we are far from instituting a
comparison. Names Of institutions Of
high standing have been made free
with in a manner to alarm those who
easily lose their heads, and rumors,
arising out of very little perhaps, have
become more and more serious by repe-
tition. We do not mean to deny that
there may be grounds for some uneasi-
ness, Trade generally is VIGOROUSLY
depressed. The eastern trade, in par
ticular, has been in collapse for years.
Bad business, losses, and the lookup Of
capital were, therefore, to be expected
and prepared for. But we would re-
mind those who may be discomposed
by the rumors, now too general to be
any longer disregarded, with what facil-
ity, in the present temper of the public
mind, scare can be got up. Only two
months ago a few people stopping to
talk at the door of one Of the greatest
Of the London joint stock banks actual

that should be borne in mind, is that
