I'm London the case OF Edward Solomon,
the composer, who was arrested for bigamy
at the instance of his first wife, was again
called up, but the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton, who were expected from America, had
not arrived. The magistrate said that
ample time had been allowed to produce
them, and that it would be unjust to keep
the prisoner in custody. He therefore lib
Grated him on his own recognizance.
London Cable: While the foreign diplo-
macy Of the government is in the way OF

sions OF strength and influence. Col. Ha.
pes keeps up II continuous agitation of the
perfect usclcssness of the English arma-
ments. owing to the corruption of the gov
eminent officials and the gun manufacture

in government circles and among the peo-
pie at large, whose old-tim confidence in
the staunchness OF England's war vessels
is giving way to fear that she cannot
hold her own IL she should suddenly be
called on to do so. and no doubt a decid-
ed effort will be made to put the British
navy on proper war footing.

A Hint to Lovers.

If any man desire to know the char
acter of his chosen future wife, let him
take her hand and hold it up between
him and the light. If considerable in
terstices and chinks show themselves
between the fingers it is sign of q
desperate inquisitiveness. Mrs. Blue
beard doubtless possessed such ill-fitting
fingers. If on the contrary. the fin
gers fit closely together, they denote
avarice. Secret hoard. cheese-paring
tendencies, and candle-end style Of
of housekeeping may be prophesied by
the light of chirosophy in such cases.
This may be one of the instances in
which the study is to be found practi-
cally useful. In the same way young
women may be advised to choose hus-
band whose hands are naturally red.
His disposition will then be cheerful,
sanguine, hopeful. The man with dark
colored hands will prove an Indifferent
companion. He inclines to biliousness
and melancholy. If tho hands are
white, they denote phlegmatic dispo-
sition, one scarcely moro agreeable to
live with than the bilious and melan-
choly.

The biennial report on the schools of
Vermont, presented to the legislature
at its late meeting shows that the edu-
cational system of the State is retro.
grading rather than improving. In
1850 the number of children enrolled
in school at some time during the year
was 73, 952, while in 1856 it has sunk
to 70, 1857. As the last census showed
80, 463 persons OF school age. it fol-
lows that only ~ per cent. of the chill
dren now enter a public school,
against more than - per cent. six
years ago. The superir tendent, how.
ever, states that the average attend.
ance is only IS per cent. OF those en-:
rolled. 1t is presumed, though 1t is
not stated in the report that the
small average attendance is on &C.
count of the increased number OF
scholars in parochial and private
echooh. "

Long Distance TelephOning.

Long-distance telephoning was salts
factorily tested between Hartford and
New York recently by Count Aiitkie-
wicz, general manager, and Captain
Moorhead, a director of the Turnbull
1nter-Ocean telephone company. The
United Lines telegraph company's
wires were used, and Manager Morgan
of the United Lines Office at Hartford,
Manager Knox of the Mackay Bennett
cable Company and other electricians
were present. Conversation was car
ried on with ease in ordinary tones of
voice, and an improved transm,tter
and receiver prevented any buzzinp
or rattling in the Instruments. Tests
were also made the same day over
the United Lines wires from New York
to Scranton, Pa, and though the
Hartford Office is not directly connect.
ed with Scranton, the Scranton voice
was heard at Hartford as it reached
the New York Office, and so distinctly
that q man at Hartford recognized
tho speaker. The tests did not seem
to be affected by tho state of tho at
mosphere, which WAS upfavorable for
electric work.

Not less than As, 900 Seeding pine
trees, the gift of Adolph Sutro, was re-
Gently distributed in San Francisco
among school children. They are to
be carefully nursed, and next month
to be set where they can develop into
valuable timber. It is the intention
to make tree-culture a success in this
great Pacific State, and to this end
the distribution just mentioned is to
be annual. Kept up for a few genera.
tlons, it IS more than probable that
the California waste places will become
fertile, and that deserts will become
meadows.

In a sensible sermon to his people
Rev. Alexander Crummell, rector of
st. Luke's, Atlanta, Ca, recently
called attention to the fact that twen-
ty years ago not more than 10000
colored people in the South could
read, while now there are lover a
million" colored children attending
school. He insisted on common
sense in common schooling and urg-
ed his congregation not to aspire to
fancy culture until they were sure
they had trade or other means of
selt-support. This advice is good for
other localities than Atlanta and 9th.
er races than the African.

October, 8, 1871, fifteen years ago,
Chicago was wrapped in flames. Its
banks, It's hotels, its business houses,
its churches and thousands of it's
homes were swept away by fire. The
losses in property amounted to $780,
100000, and bankruptcy and de-
struction swallowed up many of it's
most interesting trades and industries.
To-day there is scarcely a visible
trace of the great conAagation, and
the city is now rebuilt, safer, stronger
and more magnificent, than any one
could have dreamed of previous to the
awful disaster.

New York say that Mrs. 1angtry will re.
ceive the divorce she has been expecting
some time during her present tour of tho
states. The rumor that she is to make
her future home in this country ia alto re-.
vived, and additional investments in
New York real estate. quietly but
surely made give credence to the
story Mrs. Langtry is not expected to
soAkS any objection, or none, at least
that cannot be removed by arguments OF
u substantial kind. Some add that Mr..
Gebhart really has the coldly calm beauty's
affections. and that she will yet wed him
nnd retire from the stage. But this, too,
ent that never was remarkable and beauty
that must fade in time, it is not strange
that the lady should look to the future
with something like y calculating look in
her cold gray eyes.

The New York Sun drops an excel
lent word of advice to young women
who draw rawhides and slash young
men in public places. 1t is in short,
not to do anything of the kind. ITO
attempt it is dangerous; first, because
it is an unwomanly and rowdy like
act. and secondly. because the girls
who try it, as a rule, are not good
girls" In short, it makes a great
deal more scandal than it cures.
