ENTY-ONE Catholic pilgrims, including the Duke of Norfolk, the Lord Bishop of Clifton, and other leading members of the Catholic clergy and aristocracy, are now en mfee for Jaffa. HAVING recently been told that during his stay in London, Mr. Barnum lost £25,000, we are now asked to believe that the showman made £30,000, and that he is to revisit England in 1 !)2. CHRISTCHURCH will not, after this Parliament, have the opportunity of again electing Mr. Baring Youcg Lord alington's son, the Hon. Humphrey Sturt, will be the Conservative candidate.  Ii is not given to every minister to be in the happy position of Mr. Gould, the rnitarian minister of Manistee, Michigan, who, when summoned away from home, is able to get his pulpit supi.lied by his wiie.  _ :,EVEN hundred and seven pensions are granted out of the funds of the Railway Benevolent Institution, 309 crphans are cared for, and cases numbering on the average 65 a week are relieved from the Casualty Fund. Wu° drank the rum that made Mr. Goschen's Budget? Rum is believed to be a preventative of affections of the respiratory organs, and it is n suggested that the explanation of the 12 per cent. increase in the consumption is to be sought for in the prevalence of influenza. WILI lAA! BARNES and Kelley Day were killed by Albion Barnes and George Stephens, near Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. Day was a bystander merely. Albion Barnes is believed to be mortally wounded. The shooting grew out cf an old feud. GERMAN subjects are vaccinated in the early months of life, again on attaining the age of 12, and all males a third time on entering upon their term ot compulsory service in the army. Vaccination is always done with calf-lymph: never from arm to arm.  Tins is how tha veteran hymnist, Mr. T. Hornblower Gill, sums up the Stuarts: "The reckless Mary, the small•souled pedant James 1., the perverse and perfidious Charles 1., the worthless Charles 11., the miberable James 11., the poor Old Pretender, and the sot Charles Edward."  MR. It. H. STODDART, the veteran poet, ironically remarked recently that the summer meetings of the New York Authors' Club would be held in London. It would almost seem as though his satire were to prove prophetic. Several of the most eminent Smerican writers will be with us during the season. IN his Budget speech Mr. Cioschen mentioned only foreign and British spirits as being subject to the surtax of 6d. a gallon. It is, however, intended that every gallon of perfumed spirits shall be surtaxed Pd., whilst liqueurs, cordials, and other preparations tow chargeable with the 14s. duty will have an added Impost of Sd. a gallon. HERE is a paragraph which throws an interesting light on Kentuckian methods : At Harlan Court House, K?ntucky, the Spurlocks, Bays, and others of tee Howard-Turner feud held a conference, and agr ed to lay aside their quarrels. They agreed that in case of any further assasssinations both sides should tura out and bring the murderer to punishment ! Tne, (according to the 117,iteball riot') is tho opinion which Mine. Patti has of Mrs. Kendal: "I disagree with Mrs. Kendal upon a great many points. I do not know the lady, and it is a long time since I have seen her play. Some of her methods I cannot commend. She makes a trade-mark of her goodness, and is singularly without womanly charity in her speech about her sister actresses.' klu. A. S.
