THE BEST WAY OF SPENDING A HOLIDAY.  There has been a good deal of discussion going on of late as to the best way of spending a holiday. Miss Braddoa believes in a fortnight in Venice the last week in April and the first in May, spent half in a gondola and half on the islands. with a picnic basket and a volume of Browning. 9yron, or Shelley. Mr. Balfour, we know. pina ,is faith to a month or two of golfling at North lit:wick after passing through Cie fiery ordeal of the session. Lord Salisoury spends his Cans in making scientfic discoveries on a small scale, when not propouni'ing the affairs of the nation. Whoever the holidaymaki r may be, his best device is to lay aside his ordinary mode of hip, and do his best to enjoy a thorough change in every sense of the word. The brain-worker profits most during 1113 holidays by walking, riding, driving, or playing at golf; and doctors tell us he should begin his exerciie by degrees, taking little at first so as not to overtax his strength, and gradually increase it day by day with the growth of his staying powers. On the other hand, the man or woman accustomed to much exercise at home, and to a restless tearing about from place to place, cannot do better than take a complete rest, and to lie on his or her back on the sands at some remote little watering-place,or,let us say, in a hayfield, novel in hand, bent on doing nothing as pleasantly as possible. 8,311:0 very quiet country people of my acquaintance living in a deserted village, and with but few neighbours around t..ein they care to know, are wise in going to the most rackety Continental watering-place they can find as every summer comes round. Here they stay at the best hotel, and thoroughly do the Casino and all the gaieties of the place to their hearts' content; and when, too, they snatch a few days to stay in town during the London season, they crowd as much merrymaking as possible into the time. A holiday, in short, should be the most perfect form of recreation possible to each individual. The busy bees should idle, and the drones rouse themselves, and return home, be it town or country. one, with a new range of ideas and interests to last them until next year.—Gentle-110,11411.  Archbishop Fausti, of Rome has presented 10,0004 to the firemen who so gallantly rescued him from imminent death at the fire which recently occurred at the Pal AZZ Caffaralli.  Amongst the treasure-trove which has come to light lately as the result of Hellenic excavation none has be3o more enthusiastically heralded than that which was discovered the other day at Decea— namely, the cranium of Soph3cles. In a farmhouse near Hodnes3, Vasarhely, a peasant, his wife, and their five children were found murdered. The only surviving son of the peasant has given himself up to the police, confessing that he had committed the septuple murder in order to obtain nossessioa of his fatbz,r'st nronertv  Twenty negroes left the stockade of the Kansas and Texas Company, near Lichfield, in Kansas, and went to Pittsburg in a body to purchase supplies. They were jeered at and insulted by the white strikers, but they took no notice of the hostile demonstration. After leaving the store where they had made their purchases they were told by the strikers that they would not be allowed to return to the stockade. When the negroes began their return j•iurney the strikers first attacked them with stones and other missiles and then opened fire upon them. The negroes returned the fire, and a miner named Betson was shot through the heart. The strikers followed the nogrees to the stockade, and preparations are now being made to storm it
