Another electric railway, which is the sec
ond there, has just been constructed in Ber-
lin and formally opened. 1t has grade OF
l in 30, which is perhaps the steepest incline

centimetres apart, and attached to the tele-
graph poles. These wires are capable OF
propelling one small eightwheeled carriage.

used in this, while more complex, secures
greater economy in che use OF the current.

Several petitions to the Emperor Of China
cial corruption which exists throughout the
empire, and is in no department more ia
grant than in the army. A common method
OF defrauding the Treasury consists in keep
ng the names of deserters and dead men
upon the roll so that considerable part Of
| the money received for full regiment may
| be appropriated by the officers. These pc
| titions have been printed in the Pekin Ga
zette, having attracted general attention and
received general approval, and been prompt

| 600 marks; from Hamburg, nearly 100000
marks, and from Bremen, l $50, 900 marks.
Smaller towns show like increases. Thus
| Dredsden has 100000 marks, and Sonnen-
berg 10000. 1t is believed that the total
| for sll places during the quarter will reach
| 20, 600, 900 marks. The first weeks in April
| gave promise OF similar increases for that

It is asserted that James Gordon Bennett
had under consideration plans for another
Arctic expedition when the news was re-
/
De Long and his party. 1t is understood
| that IN obedience to public sentiment Mr..
! Bennett will abandon the new plans unless
there should appear to be reasonable
| grounds for a search for Lieutenant Chips
! crew. 1t is said that the contemplated eX-'
petition was to have been on much larger
| scale than that of the Jeanette, and was to
| have been under the direction OF both army
| and navy officers. The naval officers were to

Several years ago Mr.. Moncure Conway
collected from the columns of the Dial
number of Mr.. Emerson's unpublished con-
tributions with view to their issue in Lou
don. He even got the papers into print,
| when word came from Mr.. Emerson that he
| preferred they should not see the light-at
| any rate while he lived. Report now says
that Mr. Conway will take early steps
| to publish this collection. Few complete
/ sets of the Dial have ever reached England
| at any rate, few are now preserved there.
| One Of the few is in the possession of Mr.
| Alexander Ireland, of Manchester, who was
| one of the first friends that Emerson made
| in England. He possesses a letter from
| Emerson describing his interviews with
Carlyle at Craigenputtock, and the one with
Wordsworth at Rydal Mount.

ria. gave turguois blue velvet dress made
| in England. 1t is brocaded with a raised
| pattern of roses and leaves, on satin ground

| He also gave short dress Of Oriental blue

The Vicar of parish near Falmouth has
| identified himself with the Salvation Army
in so pronounced way that the Bishop OF
| Truro expects to have trouble with him.
| On recent Sunday he permitted the F4l
| mouth Army corps to attend the morning
| service. accompanied by their band, flags,
| and a somewhat unpromising company Of
| followers. When prayers had been said,
| the Vicar announced that there would be a
| special service by the Captain, who then
| gave out hymn from the chancel and pro-
| ceeded with the usual long prayers and con-
| fessIons There was an offertory at the
