MIR. Hughes and some of his rela-
tives have been heavy losers by the
Rugby scheme.
Lord Derby holds an enormous
amount of real estate in England and is
constantly adding to it.
The Empress Eugene has received
a severe shock to the system through
falling down stairs at her residence,
Prince's-gate, Hyde Park. The Queen
has inquired daily as to her health.
king Louis of Bavaria's curious
habits of seclusion are gradually arous-
ing serious discomfort among his SUBJ
jects, who are openly discussing the pro-
priety of interpellating the Government
on the matter, so as to ascertain wheth-
er it is possible to induce the King to
change his relations with his people,
and clearly to define his attitude, either
as a reigning head of the State or rs q
royal private gentleman.
An English nobleman, who eleven
years ago inherited very fine property
in the midland counties, containing
some of the richest and best cultivated
land in England, finds himself now, in
these bad times of agriculture, with ten
large farms thrown on his hands. The
tenants on most of these farms were al
most patriarchal, the leases having de-
scended from father to son for hum
dred and fifty or two hundred years.
AT q recent dance provided for the
workmen of the Duke of Argyle at In
verary Castle, and at which the Mar
quis of Lorne and Ladies Mary .and
Evelyn Campbell were present, the ma
tional beverage and all other intoxicat-
ing drinks were strictly excluded.
Rather hard, this, upon the retainers of
the Macallum More, who live in such
close proximity to the place where the
ssCampbelltown" and ssLorEen whis-
kies are distilled.
A Minister'S life in France is not
happy one. : 1t appears that NJ. Gam
beta grants few audiences and keeps
the archivists busy. He is engaged
from morning to night on the days he
has not to transact parliamentary
business, and often far into the night,
iu reading dispatches and letters not
intended for publication from diplo-
matte agents to his predecessors. Even
at his meals he has documents spread
on the table around him which he goes
on reading while he eats.
The medical profession in Ger

death of Prof Busch. The deceased,

short time ago performed successful
operation upon the Empress. DR.. Busch
was born in Marburgh. In 1874 he
commenced the study of medicine at
Berlin, and in 1851 began his practice
in that city. He died at Bonn on the
Rhine. He became especially renowned
as skillful operator during the cam
paigns of 1866 and 1901.
Bismarck has deep appreciation
of joke. He is himself a hearty joker,
and his jokes are at times full-blooded
and coarse. The witty editor of the
Tag6IdH loosely intimated that the
threatening letters said to have been re-
ceived by Prince Bismarck during the
recent elections were of the kind of cor
respondence indulged in by Mr.. Toots,
who had a habit of addressing invita-
tions to himself to dinner from the Duke
of Wellington and other celebrities.
Prince Bismarck appreciated the ex-
quisite humor of this so highly that he
sent the jolly editor to prison for three
months.
