is moved to the stern, and then an up-
ward direction is given TO it. Each boat

trio wires by which the torpedoes are ex-
ploded.

"Lord Lytton was very fond Of whist, and
he and both belonged to the well-known
Portland Club, in which were to be found
the celebrated players Of the day. He never
showed the slightest disposition of a

inOffensive man, of the name OF ToWneDd,
for whom Lord LYtton entertained mortal
antipathy, and would reyer play whilst that

q witness TO what must be termed an odd
coincidence O1e afternoon, when Lord
Lytton was playing, snd had enjoyed enaIn-
interrupted run OF luck, II suddenly turned,
upon which be exclaimed: Il am sure that
Mr.. Townend has come into the club Some
three minutes after, Just time enough 10

says, ga wild horde burst open her door,
took her baby, and threatened not to return

its eyes had already been put out. In her
despair she threw herself upon those VITO

cords, and forced to look on while the mon
sters cut his wlfe's breast clean away. She
was left lying there with her baby, out the
man was carried off, and she has never heard
