James J. Corbett has also been talking very
much and very strongly during the week. He
is quoted as saying that if he defeats jackson
he will proceed to England and make Slavin
fight him. and if Slavin wrIggles out Of it he
will be branded as a cur This is exceedingly
amusing, coming, as itdoes. from Mr. Corbett,
whos believe, declined under all conditions
to meet Joe McAuiffe before the latter went to
England. 1t might be well for Corbett to make
no mistake apout Slayin. Corbett will not have
to make" the Australian fight, because don't
think that the Australian is that kind OF man.
Besides, Corbett has yet to prove to the world
that he can fight. and he may have some new
ideas about fighting when he is through with
jackson. They will meet before the spring is
over, and although 1t is much too soon TO come
to any definite opinion regarding the results Of
the fight few words may be said about 1t. II
Corbett defeats jackson, that is providing both
are at their best, il will on public form
prove Corbett to be far above the aver

THE last two converts on the island
of Madeira have ceased to exist. BY a
decree of the Portuguese Government
of May, 1894, all converts and monas-
teries on the island were declared ex-
tingrished. The property of the friars
was incorporated at once in the public
treasury; the nuns. however, were al
lowed to remain in the "convent' bat
only during the lifetime OF those living
at the time of the decree" Their pro-
perty was sold and the proceeds invest
ed ia the public treasury for the bene-
fit of the nuns. The last survivor o.
the Santa Clara nuns died on Novem-
Der IA last. and GA October 16 the last
nun died in the convent of the Incar-
nacio. For fifty-eight years the two old
ladies had kept the convent property
from the government, to which it has
now fallen.

HAPPINESS is the result of content
ment. He who has the most desires
which he is unable to crafty is most
wretched. Yet desire leads to achieve
ment and unrest; though it be the syn
onym of unhappiness, it is naturally the
incentive of every good effort. Every
noble work has grown out of morbid
discomfort. He who has no desire
seeks no fulflment, has no aspirations,
is content simply to exist in a mobile
state. 1t seems that unrest is virtue
which should not be disparaged. 1t is
dissatisfaction with realities that sets
us to forming ideals, and working to
attain them. The most unhappy lives
have been those which have been lived
to the greatest purposes.

The varied tastes OF humanity add
greatly to the spice of life. While We
think that apparently every one who
crosses the Atlantic is pushing to take

are enough of these TO keep the crawl

thing pointed to clear case of self

never be dissuaded from the notion
that the old man had been murdered
by some unknown assassin. Accord

custom for one of the family to go to

eleven o'clock and fire q gun. for the

curious practice is relic of medieval
days in continental Europe, and the
