The Fowery Kingdom, epIoSy Is said to be so
common that there Is eaIceIy third-rate town
that has not a leper village OF its own, While in
the Dominion 10 the north Of US, the disease Is
reported as having made it appearance in several
remote quarters. On the island OF Antleost the
disease is represented as having secured strong
iOoInOld and spreading out to The mainland.
The adVices from Samoa are little dsqulet-
ing. Perhaps tue islanders have been playing
cricket with the usual result, the defeated
team or rather battalion, resorting 10 extraordl-

tors. The land disputes were lett unsettled by
the samoan Commissioners, and as shameful
advantage was taken of the natives by their
despOllers they are liable to result in more or
less controversy till settled.

victim of a woman's Establishments.
