Mr.. Harry Furniss, the well known par.
liamentary caricaturist, relates that on
one occasion man came to a friend of his,
and asked him to paint a portrait of his
father, who is dead

never saw your father. Have you a photo
graph of him.
mo" said the man, II have not, but you
never saw Moses, and yet you have a pic
ture of him on your walls"
The argument was unanswerable and
the artist accepted the commission. When
the picture was finished the man came to
see it, and gazed at it with tears in his
eyes and said
Dear me, is that father? How he has
changed?"-London Tit-Bits.

The Surgeon appointed in Calcutta was from
ill-health unfit for duty from the very cons
mencement of the voyage, and he died about .
month af er the ship sailed. The whole medi-
cal charge of the immigrants and crew there
tore devolved on Jugmohun Sing, the senior
Compounder, who fortunately from his long
experience and ability was equal to the respon.
sibility. His success ii the treatment of the
sick may be gathered from the fact that al
though he had to encounter an epidemic of
measles, a disease which proved 80 fatal in
ali orher ships that arrived during this season,
the mortality on board the "Bann" was small
compared with the records Of tho other
voyqges.
On the arrival of the ship at st. Helena. the
Government, in order that the Indian Regula-
tions should be fully complied with, were
obliged to put a Surgeon on board, and DR..
Web was accordingly appointed to take
medical charge during tho remaining part Of
the voyage, that is to say, 22 days.

Smith, IN q severe judgment, told the prisoner
tina she had robbed her friend while staying
in her house, and had then p~erjured herself ia
such a way that, but for an accident, the jury
might have returned q verdict which would
have placed on that friend and her husband
an indelible stain. He then passed upon her
o sentence Of nine months' imprisonment With
hard labour, intimsting however, that she
would be kept in the i~nfrmary. The SEN
tence is a light one. As regards the theft,
Mrs. Oshorne's friends have made complete
restitution, and the plea Of the owter for
lenient sentence is always taken into considers.

Duke of Cumberland, son of the last King of

peror had also promised to acknowledge the
Duke of Cumberland's Hon as reigning
Sovereign OF Brunswick, to which lluchy, by
the custom of Germany, the Du Q is the legal
hair. Che report is officially denied, but in
such a way as TO leave it probable that if the
boy Prince, on attaining his majority six years
hence, feels himself justified in renouncing
all claim to Hanover, the Prussian Regency
of Brunswick will be terminated in his favour.
This arrangement will be most satisfactory to
all German Princes, to the British Royal
family. and to all who, like ourselves think it
an error to b eak the continuity of history for
no reason. There may be arguments fer
