We Americans are supposed to ''beat
creation" in the ingenuity and bOldness
of our advertising lodges, and some large
firms keep men especially employed in
devising new methods of attracting pub
lie attention when old lodges begin to ir-

marriage he repents of his bargain and
sues for a divorce. He alleges extreme
cruelty on the part of Mrs. Hine. He
states that she has violently abused him;
that she has pulled his hair; that without
cause she seized a basin filled with vile
and unclean water and threw it into his
face, and even repeated the offense; and
finally that she attempted to injure him
by hurting a screwdriver at him.
The trade reports of Hamburg, for the
year 1882, have been published at last, and
show the total imports, excluding specie,
to be 1921, 900, 900, or a fair increase upon |
the years preceding. The weight of these |
imports was exactly 100000 metrical |
tons. The imports of Hamburg by land |
and river were eleven-twentieths of the |
whole, while nine-twentieths were import |
ed by sea, sixty per cent OF these latter |
imports being carried by steamers. 1t is |
remarkable and important that the rate of |
increase in the imports of Hamburg is |
substantially the same, whether calcula- |
ted in weight or value. 1t had been |
thought that, with the fall of prices, |
freights would increase in bulk and |
weight more rapidly than in value. This |
expectation is not justified by the ac- |
counts of Hamburg.
A popular Danish meeting, representing |
the Radical and Moderate parties of the |
Left, was held ON Sunday week, at which |
a resolution was adopted indOrsing the |
addresses to the King adopted by the |
Polishing on April 18th last, praying His |
Majesty to appoint a new Ministry. On |
Saturday the King received a deputation |
who had come to present this resolution. |
His Majesty replied as follows: Il have |
received you in order to declare that only |
the legal representation of the people, by |
which understand the two houses of the |
Rigsdag, has the right to speak in the |
name of the people. Resolutions from |
other asSemblages have no other signifi- |
canoe for me than that of an expression |
of popular wishes. l respect the consti- |
tutiOnal right of the nation, but at the /
same time uphold my own right in regard |

Belize, British Honduras, as its name |
partly announces, is a colony of Great |
Britain, with an English-speakIng domi- |
nant class. limited in number when the /
balance of the somewhat mixed pOpula- |
ton is taken into account. The cOlonied |
CreOles form the bulk of that heterOgene-
Gus population, and Gucatecans, Caribs, |
coolies, with representatives of almost |
every nationality of Europe and a fair /
sprinkling of Americans, complete the |
sum total. Indeed. it seems as If the last |
would soon hold their own as to numbers, |
with a small proportion of white people |
from elsewhere which is found among the |
permanent residents, more especially in /
