FRENCH AND ITALIANS.
AT TUNIS.
From the SPECTATOR

The warmth of the dispute between the
French and Italians at Tunis has calmed
down for the moment. The Bona-Guelma
Railway Company and the Rubattino
Navigation Company have resumed their
natural attitude OF merely commercial RI
valry. The short railway link between
Tunis and its port, Goletta, remains in
Italian hands, at a price which must make
the Italian Government guarantee OF i've
per cent. a matter CT no small satisfaction
to Signor Rubattino's shareholders. The
French ore welcome to construct the
competing line wbEh is to develop the
capacities of sand choked Biserta, and to
turn the trade of Tunis into channels it
has long ceased to frequent. According
to the latest news, the Governments OF
Paris and Rome have agreed that any
further disputes are to be arranged in g
friendly way between the Italian Minister
for Foreign Affairs and the French Ambas-
ssdor, and in this way even the pugna'
cious instinct of M. RoustaD, the energetic
French Consul at Tunis, may have to
another occasion for threatening his per-
picked Highness Sadi Mahommed with all
the terrors OF the French ironclad navy, in
consequence of the adverse Judgment of
OF an English Court with regard to the
assets OF an unsuccessful English specu-
lati on. There seems to be little doubt,
however, that even if the quarrel be Ger
tainly terminated, it has left its sting

which the French claims were presented
and the French objections enforced and
though the Italians have maintained
throughout an admirable temper, they feel
that something like an attempt was made
to bully them, and they are also conscious
That the attempt has failed. Foreign
observers OF the proceedings of the w o
countries have not missed the opportunity
to TRY and draw profit from the whole
proceeding, and German journals like
the Nord Deatsche Zeitung, and Austrian
journals like the Neue Freie Presse, have
fastened to point out that France must
always be an encroaching neighbour, that
any benefits which Italy may nave derived
from French policy came about by chance
or by compulsion,on n that the Italians could
easily find more appreciative friends in
almost any direction than on the road to

Cannibal Practices of Fish,

Mother manifest cleanliness, healthful
exercise, nor cooling environment can keep
fish from cannibalstic practices. Human
beings sometimes love their fellow 80 much
that they want to cat them; to the fish this
wish is father of the aot. A hungry cod
or mackcrcl that finds no other food convc-
nient has no scruplcs against dining off
some OF the the tender darlngs of his own
tamily. The same lack of sqneamish scn-
Immortality saves hin from any caro- upon
tho burial or rcavengcr question. A dead
fish, or the useless portions Of the catch
which arc thrown overheard from fishing
vessels, are promptly applied to the slls-
tenance OF the living, to Holsters and other
occupants of the lower zones getting but
the jackal's share of such prey. This ha-
bit OF swallowing dead fish sometimes leads
to undesirable results, particularly for the
mackercl. In attacking any choice morscl
he always begins at the larger end; but
when the object happens to contain spinal
column with ribs attached, which has been
thrown overheard by q cleaner, any subsc,
qucnt attempt to dislodge the useless por-
lions shows the incompatibillty which exists
between two sets of similar bones in the
same fish, for the newer set becomes undu-
ly reaching, and exhibits a painful reluc-
tance to departing. Offal that is not put TO
family uses goes to Holsters, star-fish, and
other residents of the bottom, but many Il
sca-tlea lunches on 1t ca route; and if these
tiny creatures are allowed their own way,
they leave nothing but bones, which In
turn are entirely absorbed by sea-urchins.
