Errors Of Lawmakers.

Some absurd clauses have found
their way into certain acts of the
British parliament One statute en-
acted punishment of IA years trans
portation for a certain offense, "and
upon conviction one-half thereof
should go to the king, and the other
half to the informer." Then there is
an act of parliament for the rebuild
ing Of Chelmsford prison which stipu-
lated in one clause that the prisoners
should be confined in the old prison
uatil the new one was built and in
another-an amending that
the new prison should be constructed
out of the material of the old one.

wslIInaton,s Dispatch Table.

Mrs. Maxwell (better known as Miss
Braddon) has many treasures at Lich-
field house, her charming home at
Richmond-on-T Thames. One of these is
the remarkable dispatch table which
the duke of Wellington carried with
him throughout the Peninsular war.
SO ingoniously constructed is this
piece of furniture that it can be made
to serve the various purposes of q
writing table, dispatch box, chess table,
card table and dining table.

HoIIand,s Queen pomIneerIna.

Hollands queen, Wilhelmina, has ex-

She is said to interfere in a most per

foreign relations. She looks upon the
Dutch colonies as, in some sort, the
private appanages Of the house OF

The compulsory feature of the Mary

that under certain conditions owners of

quire the county commissioners to ma
cadamize it, was declared unconstitu-
tional in the Circuit Court at Frederick
