A Dis0bedient Monitor .
Rio News.

The Brazilians are very proud of their
two monitors, the Javary, and the So
limoes. On the I'd inst, 1t was pro-
posed to put the latter through the
manual Of arms, as it were, to see if
it was all in order to 60 down the coast
few miles to Ilha Grande for artillery
practice. Steam was got up at 10
o'clock under direction Of one of the of.
ficers, and, after an hour and a half
spent in trying to do something or to go
somewhere, they were obliged to put
out the fires in order to see what the
trouble was aud why the machinery re-
fused to work. Naturally. enough the
engine room became rather warm, and
this the first machinist could not en-
dure, so he rushed on deck and tainted.
It is said that it has been morethan a
year since this monitor was moved,
and that the machinists are all new,
never having had any experience in
handling.

The San Francisco Chronicle has as
certained that Cinnamon decline to be-
come naturalized because the Chinese
penal code declares that all persons who
renounce their country shall be be-
headed. Property of ali such criminals
is to be confscated, and their wives
and children distributed as slaves to
the great officers of state. Their
parents, grandparents, brothers, and
grandchildren, whether habitually living
with them under the same roof or not,
are to be banished to the distance of
1900 leagues. All who conceal or con-
nive at the crime are to be straneled.
Those who inform against the criminals
are rewarded with the whole property.

The King of Siam, VINO is soon to visit
this country, was crowned in November,
1868, being then about fifteen years old.
One Of his first acts on coming to the
throne was to iberate all prisoners of

ton giving perfect religious freedom to
all his subjects. In 1871 another royal
proclamation was made that slavery
should gradually cease after the first
day of the following January, and that
shareholders should be remunerated
by q general tax.

ONE OF the peculiar features of the
English electoral system is, that it af-
fords opportunity for g candidate de-
feated in one locality to stand for par
lament in another. That is what
Herbert Gladstone, son of the ex.prime

defeated in Middlesez, he will now run
in Leeds, one of the districts for which
his father was returned, and which he
declined accepting instead, the seat for
Midlothian.
