A LIVE FISHING HOOK.

There are feeble little fishes that owe
their success in life-for they are found
in every sea-to the powerful alliances
they form. Unable of themselves to
swim either quickly or far, they get at
tached, by means of q dorsal fin which
has been modified into sucker, to any
swift swimming creature, or even ship,
that may come in their way. Thus re-
lieved of the fatigue of swimming, and
protected from their enemies by the
close proximity of their attached host,
they are free to devote their energies to
the sole purpose Of picking mp such food
as may oome within their reach. 40
cordine to Beneden, the fishermen of
the Mozambique Channel use the Re-
mora, as it 10 called, az q live fishing
hook. Passing ring to which a cord
is attached through its tail, they send IL
in pursuit of any passing fish or turtle,
and, should it succeed in attaching it.
self by its sucker, few hooks are more
secure. Il was Of this fish that the
strange delusion formerly prevailed
that it WAS able to arrest the progress
Of any vessel to which it get fixed.

attracts the attention. These pillars, which
were imported from Scotland, are splendid
specimens of art, and contribute greatly to
the beauty of the interior. Although the
building is not quite finished, the harmony
of its construction can still be Judged.
The roof, covered with tin, is of iron grid
erS, from the Factory of McFarlane's in
Scotland, and besides the many advantages
against earthquake and hurricane, thew
offer a pretty appearance, the roofing
boards being painted light blue, while all
the ~rafterS. purlines and iron truSSes are
white.

the several craftsmen on the able execu-

were offered on the affairs of the mission

New York May l3th.-It is stated with
regard to Peru that France has refused to
acknowledge the government of General
IglcSiaS.
The Pail Mall Gazette in an editorial
commenting on the Chinese treaty express
es The opinion that China comedies more
than France demanded.
1t is officially announced that China has
agreed to recognize all treaties entered
INTO between France and AMMAN, and be-
cause Of Lii Hungchangs broad views
France on her part has abandoned her
claims for compensation, China consents
to the freedom oftrade.
IN the British House of Commons Sir
Michael Hicks Beach member for Glouces-
terShlre east moved q vote of censure
on the government for" their desertion of
Major General Gordon, insisting that while
eifectlng peace i'll one corner, the district
around Suaki i'm, they were making war
in other parts Of the Soudan.
Mr.. Gladstone in reply denied the
cha sc Of desertion and declared that Sir
Michael Hicks Beach demanded that the
Government should undertake a wal of
conquest against a people who are strug-
Cling for liberty.
The Government has omitted no act to
secure Major General Gordon's safety. Sir
Michael's attack he said indicated that he
was ignorant of the facts, and the real OBJ
ject of the motion was to displace the Go
vernment. Her Majesty's Government, he
added, would perform its double duty to-
wards the country and to Major Gener-
al Gordon.
The Conference negotiations in pro-

New York, May 15th-The expected
financial panic in the United States has
burst. Seven pr eminent brokers, the
Metropolitan Bank Of New York and the
Atlantic Bank of Brooklyn nave suspend
ed payment. The panic has been allayed
in New York by the associated Banks hav-
ing resolved to sustain each other. The
Secretary of the Treasury department. has
ordered the purchase of their bonds, which
relieves the supposed tightness, but money
is plen tiful, it is confidence that is wanting.
The Metropolitan Bank has announced
that it will resume business to-day. The
great excl cement which has been caused
is said to have exceeded aver that of
black Friday. There is hardly any insti-
tuition secure against the wild rumours
which are afloat, but the worst is now
considered over.

NOW MILTON CAME TO WRITE
"PARADISE REGAINED."

1t was at the time of the great plague
that the poet OF paradise Lost" took
up his abode at Chalfont, and it was
through the fundamentally of COM
mon friend Of his and William PENIS
that this retreat was selected. Thomas
Ellwood, the Quaker, had made Millions
acquaintance in London some years be-
fore, when hunted out OF house and
home by the Bucks Justices, and read
Latin to him in his lodgings in Jewin
street. When the plague grew fierce in
the city the blind poet .bethought him
of his one-time secretary, and asked him
to find him some retreat in his neigh
borhood. Ellwood took this pretty
box" for him and it was here that he
suggested to him the idea Of Paradise
Regainei." Milton had handed him
the manuscript Of Paradise LOST to
pass his judgment on. ~ pleasantly
said to him." Ellwood relates in his
Life" "Thou hast said much here Of
paradise lost, but what hast thou to say
of paradise found?' He made me no
answer, but sat some time in muse ;
then broke off that discourse and fell
upon another subject After the sick
ness was over, and the city well cleansed,
he returned thither; and when after.
ward went to wait on him there he
showed me his second poem, called
Paradise Regained. and in pleasant
tone said to me, This is owing to you
for you put it into my head by thu
question you put to me at Chalfont
which before had not thought of. ~

FRENCH DUELS,

Sainte-B euve, the eminent critic, was
once engaged in duel. While the pre-
liminaries were being arranged, itbegan
to rain slightly, and the author Of "Vol-
upte," who had prudently brought his
umbrella with him, held it over his head
with one hand, while he firmly grasped
his sword with the other. This proceed.
ing being objected to by the seconds as
irregular, lie coolly replied that it was
quite sufficient for him to risk his life
without running the chance Of catching
cold into the bargain.
He however did not lack courage,
which is more than can be said OF one Of
his colleagues, who, finding himself I'M.
der the necessity Of accepting o chal
lenge, only consented to do so on being
confdentially informed by his SECOND
that in the present case the duel wa:
merely matter of form, and that hi
adversary would take care not to hi
him. Somewhat comforted by this as
surance, he repaired to the scene o
action, and the distance-twenty-fiv
paces-having been duly measured
boldly faced his opponent, who, on tn
signal being given, blazed away, ant
neatly perforated the critics hat jus
half an inch above the head.
"Confound it I" he exclaimed t. hi
second, who was congratulating him o
his gallant bearing. "Why didn't 20
tell me that he was going to spoil m
new hatI would have put on an oil
one."

OR. HAMMOND holds that smoking is

their digestion, sight and hearing, he
says, and renders them subject to neu.

men he thinks the moderate smoking Of
cigar is good, retarding the waste Of
the tissues, making the food go farther
and enabling them to bear trouble with
complacency.
