The Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets has decided that the pedestrians
must look out for themselves in Boston
Common. One of the paths in winter
was arranged for the convenience of
coasters. As q man was walking along
q sled came down behind him, struck
his ankles, and knocked him down, and
be was hurt and made insensible for a
time. The court holds that there was
no evidence that the footpaths on the
common have ever been laid out as high
ways or townways. The city holds the
common for the public benefit, and not
for emolument or as a source Of reve-
nue., and has constructed and kept in
repair these paths as part of the COM
mon for the comfort and recreation OF
the public, and not as part of its sys-
TEN of highways or streets. The city
may legally set apart part of the COM
mon for the recreation Of the young.

MIR. Gilbert. of b. M. s. Pinafore.,

Mr.. Gilbert, of b. M. s. Pinafore,
is represented as the s'busiest man with
out hustle in London" His methods of
working are quite unlike those of most
literary men, but he labors very sue
cessfully at his house in "the Bottoms"
which is called an "oasis of South Kin
sington," or on board his yacht, the
Pleione. He has no fancy for early
morning writing, preferring to use the
midnight oil; but mere writing is the
smallest part of his labor. His story is
nodded at odd hours of day or night !;
then the plot is briefly written out like
an anecdote; then the anecdote is ex-
planned by incidents, then broken up
into acts, and illustrated by dialogue.
Important scenes in the play are first
written out fully, and knitted together
by shorter ones. Then, in the case of q
musical piece, every thing must be done
with reference to the music, and by CON-
suhation with the composer. This is
not all that Mr.. Gilbert does, by any
means. He arranges scenery, and de-
signs costumes, and attends to details
of stage management. Mr.. Gilbert's
house in "the Bottoms" shows that it is
the abode of culture and refinement.
His library and dining-room are adorned
with charming drawings and paintings,
and he is most genial host.

consecutive years sufficient water flows
from it to form veritable river, when,

other period of seven years the water
again commences to flow from the
spring. A period of flow covered the
years from 1866 to 1873, and was sue

The projected tunneling of Mount

The projected tunneling of Mount
Blanc is engaging the serious attention
of French engineers, and, contrary to
common opinion, they characterize it as
an easier undertaking than that Of the
Simplon route. The estimates OF cost
for executing such work are. in the case
of the Simplon, about .$27 ,00O, 900. and
in that of Mont Blanc only SIS, 600, 600.
Furthermore, it is claimed that the Mont
Blanc tunnel will make the journey from
Paris to Genoa some ninety-seven kilo-
meters shorter, and from Paris to Milan
forty-four kilometers shorter than by
the Simplon route. The location OF the
tunnel is point which has given rise to
various opinions, but that which meets
with special favor from the advocates Of
the enterprise is from Chamounix to
Courmayeur.

Feeding the Dead---A Chinese LeremO-
NAL.

A Chinaman was buried at Philadel-
phia in 1875, and four times year his
surviving countrymen there visit his
grave to " feed the dead" A recent
visit of this kind is thus described: The
first preliminary was the removal of all
"Melican" clothing. As they had come
enwrapped in the flowing blue drilling
gown and trousers and the cloth-soled
shoes worn by all good Cinnamon, the
only article necessary to dispense with
was the hat They then uncoiled their
long pig-tails and carried their we'll
filled provision hamper to the grave.
Ceremony number one consisted of
sort of invocation. In perfect time and
drill the mourners lifted their arms
from their sides to horizontal posi-
ton, then above their heads, when
they clapped their hands and uttered
high-keyed grunt. This was done sew
eral times. The chief priest then pro-
duced a package of sheets of tissue pa
per, about three inches square, each of
which bore inscriptions in Chinese char
acters. These were supposed to repre-
sent each a sin committed against one
of the many deities of the Buddhist
faith. They were burned, one by one,
each of the celebrants taking turn in
lighting them. When the last had been
burned another inroad was made upon
the hamper and chicken entire, except
as to its feathers, was brought out; also
four cups and saucers and as many
plates, all of which were laid on pa
per tablecloth placed on the grass. A
knife similar in shape to those used by
shoemakers speedily dissected the fowl,
and fragment was placed on each
plate. The cups were filed out of a
large wicker bottle which contained
something like tea. Oranges were also
produced, and the three living China
men went solemnly through the form
of eating, the ghost presumably keep
ing them compan:. The living ban
queters speedily emptied their cups and
disposed of the oranges. Seemingly
awakened to the fact that their invisi-
BILE guest was not getting through with
his share as rapidly, they poured the
tea from his cup and what remained in
the bottle on the foot of the grave. A
bottle of saki, the Chinese whisky, was
also poured out, none of the living feast
ers partaking of the liquor. Half a
dozen singular-looking little taperS,
mounted on bamboo sticks, were then
stuck in the swelling turf of the grave
and lighted. These had two proper
ties, smoke and smell. A west wind
drove both into the faces Of the specta-
tors in such volume that they beat a
hastry retreat, and those who witnessed
the last rite were fortunate enough to
have found places outside the line of the
breeze. In the midst of the smoke and
stencil the faithful Celestials went
through their last posturing, similar to
| that of the Invocation. This done they
packed up the remains of their banquet
and the dishes, and, leaving the tapers
still burning on the grave, they quilted
/ the cemetery.

1t is said that after the attempt OF Bel
lamare the Emperor took to wearing
skirt of mail under his linen. 1t was
not, however, until after the fearful en-
terprise of Orsini, on January II, 1858,
that he got to be so seriously unnerved
as to live in constant dread of assassina-
ton. Count Felice Orsini was not a
mere vulgar fanatic, but gentleman
by birth, education and fortune. An
ardent patriot, and a partisan of the
unifcation of Italy. his grudge against

a political refugee in Italy, had joined
