Notwithstanding the law. there has
been a large number Of deer slaugh

number unlawfully slain will foot I'm
close to 800. The snow is deep in the
woods, and the crust is hard enough
TO allow a man to walk or run on the
surface and, consequently, it is no
very difficult matter TO capture a deer
now. Some have been taken alive.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE col
ored people of Mississippi and ouisi-
ana have been swindled to quite an
amount recently by a dusky brother
claiming to be from this city. The
swindler has travelled through the
towns and villages of those states, pre-
tending to be an attorney engaged in
the prosecution Of claims for bounty
for colored soldiers, and their heirs.
His game is To induce his victims to
file applications to the second auditor
for bounty, which applications he I'm
dertakes to see put through, charging
for the service a fee of from fifty cents
to five dollars in advance. He prom.
ises that paymaster of the army will
pay the claim in a short time. The
attention of treasury officers was at
tracted to the swihdle ty the number
OF claims presented in the same hand
writing from different parts in the
states mentioned. Secret service Of
fcers discovered the fraud and have
arrested the operator, whose name is

Paris is making quite creditable
progress in municipal expansion and
improvements of various kinds. Since
1871 about forty miles of new boule-
wards and streets have been opened
there. The new avenue leading from
the operahouse to the Paris Royal is
lighted by the electric light, while
several other streets are lighted by
brilliant white oxhydric gas, which is
soon to be exterdcd to all parts of the
city. Pneumatic clocks with blue
glass dials illuminated at night have
been placed all over Paris, and most
of the new houses have luminous num-
bers on their doors. The school
budget, which was only six millions of
francs at the end Of the empire, isnow
three times that, and in the last ten
years the municipality has spent 40
100000 francs in the erection of asy-
lums and schools. In the matter Of
common sense residences, Paris is
as far ahead Of American cities as they
are ahead Of Timbuctoo.

the honorary secretary Captain F. Petrie, read
the report, from which it appeared that the to-
tai number OF members was now upwards of
300, greater number than usual, especially of
colonial supporters, having joined in the past
year, during which papers and short commune
cations written in furtherance of the Societvs
objects, namely, the investigation of philo-
sophical and scientific questions, especially
those said to initiate against the truth of Re-
velation,-had been contributed by several
leading men of science, including his Grace the

Royal Society, besides Professor Hughes. DR..
Rassam, and others. The report closed with a
special tribute to the newspaper press. The
treasurer's report showed that a considerable
advance had been made by the Institute.
Amongst the speakers were Sir H. Barkly,
K.G.B4 GONG, FRS. Sir J. Fayrer,

Society's mode of fully and inpartially investi-

success? Crowded churches, full aisles,
attentive congregations, the approval OF
the religious world, much impression pro-

that that Carmel applause subsidized into
hldeous stiffness, his heart well-nigh
broke with disappointment. Ministerial
success lies in altered lives and obedient,
humble hearts, unseen worth recognised

THE Southern Murchmam pays its re-
spects in its last issue to the Rev. Nor
gan Dix, of Trinity church, New York.
We hope the article in the Chmrchn,oaa
will be widely read. DR.. Dix is making
himself quite notorious. There is in
the Episcopal Church Committee on
the Enrichment of the Liturgy. Allud-
ing to this, DIR. Dix, telling the Commit
tee what they may and what they may
not do, expresses himself in the following
grand style: "No light, careless tamper-
ing with the Prayer-Book can be permit
ted. No doctrinal statement, no dogma
can be touched by adding thereto or TAX
ing away. No strong meat of catholic
teaching can be weakened or diluted in
the sacramental Offices. No concession
can be made to the evil spirit of the age.
Apostolic succession, baptismal regenera-
ton, the real presence of the Lord in the
sacrament of the altar, the reception of
His body and blood in Holy Communion,
the Office and work of the priest, the mys-
terry of the sacraments--all these must
stand as they now do; there is to be no
revision for the sake of pleasing or con-
ciliating unbelievers outside, whatever
name they bear"
