This news, true or not, has produced
q profound sensation at the Vatican.
Cctcwayo has already landed at
Cape Town, where he is to remain
for the present pending the arrange
ments to be made for his return
to Zululand. The natives of
Northern Transvaal are again giving
trouble. They decline to remain
under the Beers, and declare that
they will fight rather than pay the
taxes demanded by the Dutchmen.
In the Flowery Land they per-
form vaccination, not on the arm,
nor on the leg, but on the tip of the
nose. Up to this the Chinese
Government has offered premium of
half-a-tael for each child vaccinated,
but the reward has not tempted the
families of the rich, who prefer to
have the olfactory organs of their
offspring untampered with. An inn
perial decree, issued by the Brother
of the Moon, has appeared, making
vaccination compulsory through the
Celestial Empire. F>.tFt p
l have just dropped upon another
excellent and characteristic joke of
the late Norman Macleod. AS one
of Her Majesty's Chaplains, he was
frequently inundated with invitations
from tuft-hunters. He was dining
at the house of one of these per-
sons-a lady-one evening, and got
a little bit cxaspcrated at the man
ncr which he was treated. In addi-
ton to being. pestered with ques-

warmth, sat this stage of the dinner

/ hear that Sarah Bernhardt has
given up $500 month, which was
to have been paid, with all expenses,
by her inpressario for hor American
tour. 1t may be said she his capri
cious, but she certainly is not avari-
cious. He. powers may have been
more taxed than she would herself
admit. | hear her sister, who is
only a great actress by courtesy,
suddenly left the Bordeaux theatre,
drove off to lonely spot on the
Noir, and was there found walking
up and down in n state of great
excitement. Audiences little under
stand the tax on an actress's nerves.
A good general does not forget to
provide for his retreat a good house
wife dose not forget the claims of
Pinprecu; and some careful souls
are anxious that if the Queen of
England loses her throne and becomes
private person to whom the use of
titles is forbidden, she shall not be
left nameless woman. Her hus-
band, the Prince Consort, had he
not been "A member of Royal
Family, would have been Herr
Victim. But the best authorities
declare that the Queen is not Mrs.
Victim. She is too great person to
take her husbands name. Like the
Baroness Burdett Coutts, she
brings her husband round to her own
patronymic. Her name before her
marriage, if she had not been the
Princess Victoria, would have been
