RemInl,ccpo, off ls40.

New Britain, Oct 24.-When the gold fever broke out In 1S49. a half-dozen men were fitted ont, and all expenses paid to California by the big man of New Britain of that time, Major Seth North, who died few years later. By many. Major North was considered the father. of New Britain. He always stood ready to boom any New Britain interest.
 There were three brothers, Seth, Hen ry and Alvin All were very portly and wealthy (for those days.) Major Seth lived where now stands F. N. Stanley's house, corner of Park and Elm streets: Henry North lived on Main street at the head of Myrtle street (the house now owned by Dr. Comings and stand ing in the rear Of his East Main street loD and Alvin North lived at the corn CT of East Main and Stanley streets.
 Major Seth North, away back in 1S45, was considered the richest man in town, and that meant from $4O,OO0 to $5O,OOO. The father of these brothers was known as Esquire tor Squirrel North, and the residence of Henry North was the old original homestead. Major Seth North had the most of his money invested in the New Haven rialroad, by which name that section of the present Consolidated road was then known.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA.

The French Government is resolved not to
let the impression, get abroad that it recognis-
es the treaty between England and Germany
as to the CAMERON Hunter and: NJ. HausS.
mann, Of tn" Colonial Office, and Captain
Monteil. The well-known explorer, started for
Berlin on Saturday to confer with the Ger
man plenipotentiaries, DR.. Kayser, the head
OF tie Colonial Office and Baron Won Danckle-
mann, the geographer. Negotiations began
at Berlin on Mouday. The Deputies of the
foreign and colonial group in rhe French
. Chapbet had met on Friday, and resolved to.
urge the Government to take resolnte diplo-
matte action, hoth at London and Berlin, IN
regard to the AnglQyGelman agreement.
Detailed actohuts of Herr Won Uechtrlfze
expedition to the Cameroon's have been pub
hslled ut Berlin, from which it appears that
Herr Won Uechtritz arrived at Yola OH Sep

r~ropagated on a settled plan; it therefore
becomes necessary to punish these who lncite
to robbery, murder, on incendiarism, even
though no misdeeds may be directly traceaole
to t cir teaching. Accordingly the new
Swiss law viii contain a ptoviso for inficfing
Imprisonment with hard labour on anybody
secretly or openly melting to OF giving op..
portunity for criminal actions which imper'l
human life. TO give facilities for the
manufacture of explosives intended FOR
criminal use viii subject the culprit to hard
la5our for mot less than fifteen years." as
also will the mere keeping or carrying or
having anything to do with Internal engines.
These and other drastic rules will, if passed
into law, suffice to ann the Swiss Government
with powers enabling it to cope with the
dynaniter when he makes his appearance on
tie soil of the Republic. Even a free demo-
cracy is not safe against TIE entrance of these
fends. and The strong proposals of the
Helvetian Government afford another proof
that elective rulers often deal more sternly
with the enemies of society than nlonarchies
or oligarcllies Tan do.

SHAVING COMPETITION.

The latest addition to the attractions at the
Royal Aquarium is OF q novel character, con-
Sistlhg If u shawn & contest, which is to be
continued day Ivy day until the 18Th. inst.
The competitors are Teddy Wick. Of Chel-
sea, and William Lloyd, who is trying to
wrest the championship" from Wick. The
latter has never been defeated during
the last Is years i'll shaving contests, and per-
forms many curious feats. The contest began
on Monday in the Imperial Theatre, the au-
nexe to the aquarium and was preceded by 8
display given by Wiok's little daughter. g
child of tender years, who shaved five men in
6min. 42sec. The fourth man she shaved in
exactly one minute, and the fifth man, with
one hand behind her back. in d minute and a
half. In the contest which followed the Con.
ditions imposed were silence, expedition and
cleanliness. A distinction was laid down be-
tween the cutting Of %pimplrs and gashes.
There were plenty of candidates for shaving.
At the conclusion of the first stage of the
contest, it was Announced that Wick had
shaved 40 men and Lloyd 81. Two men who
we're cut we've deducted from Lloyd's score
and one who was badly shaved from that OF
Wick's.-Times

DIR: EHLERS'S EXPERIENCE IN THEi
EAST.

DR.. Otto EhlerS, the well-known explorer,
read a paper on Saturday before the Geogra.
phical Society Of Berlin describing the cd
,ventusous Journey which he. made. last year
from Burma to Tonkin through the Shan
States, "a route which no European fore him
had aver travelled. Al the beginning of his
lecture DR.. Ehlers made n graceful acknow'
ledg1nent of the friendlineSs and help he had
received from the English. He wished to
take hat opportunity. of expressing his sim
cere gratitude to tho British Foreign Ofcces
to Sir Edward Malet, her Ma5esty's Ambassa-
dor at Berlin, and to the Indian Government,
from the Vic6roy himself down to the young
est lieutenant, for the untiring good will
which they had shown in aiding him to,actor1-
plish the objects be had at heart. After draw
ing an amusing picture of the contrast be-
tween the opeuhanded behaviour of the Eng
liSh and the %unbending officialism of The Ger
lncns, DIR. Ehlers touched on his favOurite
idea Of the employment Of indian elephants
in Africa, towards the realization of which The
Rajah Of Rampur' has contributed by a pre-
sent Of Is of these animals. From an ~intcrnA-
tito "a! point If view Dr.. Fhiers's experiences
in Ttonkin were of special interest. Not only
was he often treated as spy. and every .hin.
drance Ness put in his way by the French. buff
he limited clearly enough that he believed
they caused an attempt to be made on his
life, which, however, was happily frustrated.
