The Matterhorn.

Many mountains which long enjoyed a reputation of being absolutely un- climbable are now considered as al- most ordinary excursions. The Mat terhorn for many years repulsed men who were among the foremost noun taiueers of the day. Professor Tyn- dall and Edward Whymper were foil- ed on more than a dozen occasions. But on July 15, 1865. with Lord Fran cis Douglas, Hudson and Hadow, MT. Wbymper eventually reached the sum- init, and it was in descending that the fatal slip occurred which cost the lives of his three English companions as well as of Michel Croz, one of the most competent of Swiss guides. Now adays the peak is constantly ascended with the help of guides) by tourists who have no pretensions to be moun- taineers at all.-Dundee Advertiser.

 Canonbury tower in Islington, now encompassed by London streets, is all that's left of the priory of the canons of St. Bartholomew, which once stood in the midst of "pleasaunce," as they used to call such private parks. In the days subsequent to its monastic his- tory many persons of literary fame were tenants of the tower, among them Ephraim Chambers, originator of the modern cyclopedia; Speaker Onslow of the Georgian era; Woodfall, the printer of the "Junius" letters; the fa- nous publisher Mir. Newbery (whose children's books are so we'll known), and also Oliver Goldsmith.
