HOW TO DESTROY ENGLAND.

4EOES EO DESTROY ENGELANDs One of the literary features of the day is a pamphlet which has been recently published in Paris, and which has caused a stir in all ! the European capitals. The pamphlet is I written somewhat in the style of the "Battle of Dorking,' which made such an excitement in England 8 few years ago. It sets forth l that it has been agreed upon between the governments of Russia, Austria, Germany and France that it is necessary to cut down the strength of England; that that country has seized upon the fairest portion of the earth for it's colonies, and thus shut out other European powers from development of their colonial policies; that through these colonies England has control of the ocean commerce, and that nothing could more thoroughly take from her her present trade possessions, and divide them equally among the nations of the world, than the humilia- tion involved in loss of power and position.
 To this end it is proposed that Russia shall
 be authorized to seize upon and possess her self of India and the territory on the Bos- phorus; that Austria shall extend her do- ! main to Salonica; that Germany shall 1 seize Holland and so much of Belgium as is inhabited by Flemish speaking people, while France shall have for her DOT tion the French part of Belgium and receive l back again all of the provinces of Lorraine ! with the exception of Metz. Egypt will then I be made an international possession, ruled | over by the collective powers, and the Suez canal be regulated in the same manner In I this way it is supposed that England would l suffer fall from which she could not re- 1 cover; that her semi-independent colonies would one by one leave her, and that a large part of the trade she now possesses would pass into the hands of rival nations.
 This is good scheme if it could only be
 made to work. But England might have ! Something to say in regard to the matter

THE ENGLISH CHANNEL TUNNEL
Waiting for Public opinion = Sir Ed- xuard watkin Believes In 1t.

fLondon Letter to Paris News.1
 One of your London correspondents yester- day had an interview with Sir Edward Wat kin. MP., chairman of thei Southeastern Railway company It arose out of the inter view with Mir J. B. Eads, the eminent American engineer, which was published a few days ago.
 Sir Edward expressed himself as being quite confident of the ultimate success of the Channel Tunnel scheme. He only regretted that the opposition that had been raised against it had tended to create an 1l-feeling in France, and on the continent generally, towards England. It seemed so paltry to everybody outside of England to fear the eff feet of two holes under the channel, IA feet in diameter The Italian, Spanish, and other satirical papers had ridiculed the scare pretty much in the manner of Puck, which repre- sented the redoubtable British Lion, with Sir

What is so rare a day in septembe-a like yesterday for instance.
 The prohibitionists of Missouri are direct ing all their efforts to the single object of se- curing the submission to the vote of the peo- pie by the next legislature of an amendment to the constitution of the State prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Their plan is peculiar one They have nominated State ticket, but refuse to nominate candidates for the legislature, pre- ferTing to throw their votes quietly for such candidates of either party as will secretly pledge themselves to vote for submission.
 The Troy New York Times thus ac- curately sets forth Cleveland's weakness: Cleveland is weaker than his party, and all the world knows that is weak enough. A strong and able man iu his position would enunciate principles and create possibilities that might lift him into the presidential chair, but Mir. Cleveland, being without ideas upon or experience in national affairs, is unable to do the one or the other, and is content to drift along to certain defeat. The curious thing about this is, that the pretense is based on the fact that he signed reform bills passed by Republican legislature. Not one of these bills was suggested or in any manner initiated by him, while it is true he

are an annoyance and of no service.
If during heavy rains water should
accumulate in occasional holes or
depressions in the road, the water is
to be led off to the bitches and the
hole filed up. Large tones occasion
ally lying loose on the driving way
are to be removed and placed with the
reserve materials.
The bitches must be kept clean and
free from everything that may check
the flow of the water; the grass which
grows on the bottom and sides should
therefore be frequently cut. Cattle
must not be allowed to graze in or on
the sides of the bitches, SO that the
sides may not be broken down.
The pavement Of the water courses,
also the stone drains and openings Of
bridges, must always be kept i'll good
order and free from all matters by
which they may be choked.

When cattle are driven over the roads
they shall be placed under proper

from the bitches so as not to do
damage to the sides and edges.
Loose cattle without keepers must
not be found Oh the roads.

overturned or broken convey ances,
thrown down trees or telegraph posts,
or any other cause, ought to be

II. Subject to the observance Of the above
prescribed rules every pcaceable way
farer is allowed to travel uuhindered

which may be in the neighbour
hood.
The Governor said that these Drafts are
laid before the Council in accordance with
S 10 and 5 20 Of the Road Ordinance, which
is expected to come i'll force soon. As it
could hardly be hoped for that the Govern
ment should at once have obtained the
best possible results in framing these Drafts
he hoped that they would be referred to Il
Committee, as it is necessary that the rules
be as clear and complete and as well adapt
ed as possible to the requirements OF the
Island in these respects.
9th Crownmember (KalmerJ would make
an enquiry with regard to the planting of
trees; it is provided that those that are

One Way Of Treating Servants.

I never shall forget the servants
sleeping rooms in . very simple house
hold I once was in. Everything was
fresh and clean and wholesome looking,
The two iron bedsteads comfortably
made, the window curtains spotless, the
two bureaus neatly arranged, the
floor nicely matted and with strip
of carpet before each bed, and on the
walls some pretty colored pictures.
The mistress Of this genial, simple
house told me that she labored for .
year before she could induce her two
maids to see the comfort and beauty In
such order, but now they felt It keonly.
and It had affected their work and
spirits very visibly. Near their
Kitchen was q small room. which Mrs.
-- had fitted up snugly for sitting
room and place to take their meals In.
There was chest of drawers in which
were their napkins and tablecloths and
their own bed linen, and nice
glass-doored case showed their china
My friend told me that for some time
her maids actually preferred to use the
kitchen, but she finally won them over
to a great pride In their neat little
room, and she said the effect upon
their characters and work was speed
ily visible. Occasionally she would
bring in some flowers. or pretty, mex
pensive ornament for them; she took .
good illustrated weekly paper entirely
for their use, requiring them to file 1t.
and before long genuine taste Tor re-
finement and surroundings and man
ner had developed. These two servants
had come to her very uncouth and un-
tutored, but certainly when saw
them, after three years residence with
Mrs. -, they were far the most re-
spectful and well hammered servants l
have ever seen in America OF course
some people would aver this sort OF con-
sideration would 'spoil'' servant, but
it seems to me that the very first means
of teaching the servant Of to-day what
she ought to do. is to make her feel
that her mistress house is her home,
the place in which she is to live. not the
place she is to work in as little AZ possi-
