IDENTITY.—Short-sighted Irish Villager (to tricyclist who is wheeling his machine) : "1 ! stop': I want you to grind my husband's razor."  (From L(fs).  The crowning indignity has been offered to the hapless Jubilee ceinaga by a Dublin postmaster, who positively detained a small boy who tendered some of the co us, on suspicion of at tempting to pass bail money, and only withdrew the imputation upon the lad and his father after the c lied been tested by a jeweller and pionouneed to be pure silver. The outcry for the withd.awal of the absurd caricatures of Her Majesty incr.•ases an the coins become more familiar to the public, and Mr. Goschen and the Mint authorities would be well advised in bowing to the storm, and removing the solo blot upon the success of the Jubilee without further hesitation.  The Prince of Wales is to go down to Waddesdon Manor on a visit to Baron Ferdinand Rothschild before leaving London for Goodwood. The Louse at Waddeedon is built in the French chateau style, and contains a wonderful collec•iin of pictures, china, and "objects of art" generally ; indeed, it •,is a veritable museum of art. The furniture and fittings are of quite a Monte Cristo description, and some of the ,Buli 1 cabinets would drive any connoisseur frantic with envy. The exile of the French Bourbons from France does not prevent their being looked upon by all the crowned heads of the world as their equal in dignity. A new proof of this exalted position is furnished by the betrothal of the second dauzhter of the Count and Coun4.ria de Paris, Princess Helen, with Bis Royal and Imperial Highness, Don Pedro of Brazil. This young prince, only 21 years of age, is the eldest son of Prince August of Saxe-Gotha, Admiral and Commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Army. He is, through his &vex& d mother, Princess Loopolditie, ga atileon of the reigning Emperor. As for the Princess lielon, who has just attained her Pith year, she is an ateo illished young lady. Mr. W)l ie, alias "The Herd Eaddie,"A suppose the finest draught player in the world, is carrying all before him in the Atharialian colonies. It la tit least a score of years since 1 saw him play, and he was then nearly as white as snow, lie nigh ars to la as great as ever. Out of nearly 250 gums pla) ed, vi lien his last returns were pullhe lost oniy one. Thirteen games were dri wn, atal all the rest were won by the re: crux The gentleman who lowered he cider's of Wyllie was a Patei:sm, who is reckoned the finest piayer in Australasia.
