ROCK-GOAT.- Far away up on tho mountains of the Pyrenees and the Alps there are to be found light-footed animals of the goat kind: the ibex, or rock-goat, which somewhat resembles our English *tat. only its horns aro long and thick and st.rong, its hair is long, with a black lins down tlni 'owl: -it will mount a rock, diat looks like a high wall, at- abound; and the ('hanitis ',ratty, frisking creatures, bounding about peaks and crannies, where there does not seem to be footing fur a eat, but where the hardy hunter follows fearlessly. The bold mountaineer (sure-NAM and sot, eyed), for he must bear to look down tremendous heights without turning giddy and sick), can al.). follow those pretty wild creatures. Two or three of these hunters usually associate for a chase. Armed with rides, and provided with a small butt'? food, they start prepared for any hardship. Up the cold mountain sides they clamber, and when darkness comes on, they build as little turf hut, in which they crouch the night. Sometimes the morning finds them blocked in their refuge by great piles (tf fresh fallen snow, out if which they have to dig their way. At other tunes darkness steals on them while in pursuit of their prey, and they must pass whole nights standing huddled together to prevent each other from falling into some fearful precipice, Then, at early dawn, they must seek the high regions, where the ibex, chamois, ar antelope skip from crag to crag, fur if once they scent the hunters, there is small chance of catching them. Sometimes they will turn ‘m the pursuer, and tumble him down the precipices. Up above the highest abyss perch hungry vultures, ready to NM.' an the goats, white hares, or marmots of the mountain.- --Foote - Little  al Milwaukee Mall hid in a public doorway, and jumped out and kissed his wife.

GLADSTONE AND THE LONDON LIERART.—. Mr. Gladstone presided at the annual meeting of the bondon Libraty yesterday, and, in moving the adoption of the report, said he felt he was not t 0 sanguine in anticipating that tor years or generations yet to come the Library would continue to assert its position, amongst the most useful and needful instittitions, for the benat of the society of ~his country. During last month the officers of the Fish. mongers' Company seized at 13illingsg,ate Market no less than 12 tons 11 cwt. of deceased and putrid fish unlit for human food. It had all come tc London by rail. The fish numbered 23,7 t, and included cod, 101 crabs. 1000 scallops, 201:1 haddocks, 2)30 herrings, 112 lobsters, 025 plaice, 7 salmon, 330 salmon (in tins), 17,200 smelts, and 30 thornbacks, besides 2 bushels of cockles, 21 of mussels, and 1.4:1 of periwinkles, and 178 gallons of shrimps.  A strange and inexplicable suicide i 3 reported from Cornwall. In the parish of Steral a young farmer named Vas,le, recently married, said to biß wife the other morning that he had something to tell her. On her asking what, he ch.eked adding, "Never mind, you will find out before dinner time." He then went out to bis accustomed occupation, but not returning at the usual search was made, and late in the erty his wife found his dead body hanging in an outhouse. Except that he was not in good health, Lo m,tive 3an be surmised for the act.  SIR WILFRID AND THE Mira (H.-A j,ke current in the House of I 'OMMODS is at the expense of Sir Wilfrid Lawson. It is said that on the night of the Derby the hnn boronet, dining with well-known member of Mr. Disraeli's party, found by the side of his plate a bottle of milk punch. The word " panoh " ha,l been cut out of the label, and Sir W ltrid, turning the bottle round and fin,iing it labelled milk," stuck to it throughout his dinner, and did not leave it till it was empty. I am afraid (says the London correspondent of the Duita /:,a•iea.) the joke is not q ite new, and, of course it is not true. The monthly return giving the number of paupers in England an'! Wales. in March. shows the effect of the state of the coal and iron trades in South Wales. The number in receipt of relief at the end of the parochial year, at Lady-day, 1,75, was 776,501, which is more than at the end of the Christmas quarter by 26,08 f; paupers. The number in Wales comprised 5138 in-door paupers, an increase of only 491 over Lady-day, 1574, but there were 8,207 out-door paupers, an increase of 14,676; making a total of 84,944 paupers, or no less than 25'6 per cent, more than at Lady-day, 1870. The improvement in all other parts of the kingdom kept the total for England and Wales as low as 77,501, being 1.1 per cent. fewer than at Lady-day, 1874.  THE CHILD lift'
