WHAT THE WORLD SAYS." The Allgememe Zeitang, tumally very well informed, says that the following are the httpes cherished in Roumania in regard to a recent proposals : On Belgium declining the perilous honour of an occupation of Bulgaria, the Powers will cast their eyes about them for another small state to do the work, awl Russia, in the most innocent way in the world, will point to Roumank• ltuomenia will he asked ; will rely with a rpiscopari : will at Isst stiffer herself to he persuaded ; and then it will he discovered that she cannot undertake the duty will she is dependent upon Turkey, and that for the good of Europe she must he declared free. This ought to turn out well; only, when the chain of cause and effect in intended action is so long. then- is almost ware to be something the matter with one of the links.  I hear that the Prince ef Wake finds Marlhomugh House to small, and is about to migrate to South Kensington, were it is understood hie Royal Highness has property of considerable value and extent. originally necnred through the foresight of the late Prince f'onsort at the time her Majesty's COmmieftionera for the Exhibition of IHSI made their excellent land investment in that pleasant suburb.  Prince Arthur's suit, which we were the first to mention in June last, does not press. His Hanoverian COMPiII has not yet said either "yes" or "no."  Teetotalism has found a laureate at lest. His name is Camay. and he hails from Leicester. Here in hie latent great offu.ion, which wen the light in that hutnonrous paper, the AII entnrc News "Brave Sir Wilfrid ! Still keep at It: Weary not Though nen, storms of persecution Be thy lot: 'Twill but hasten Prohibition— Doubt it not : Soon the lowering Howls will break; Soon the shimbering masses wake, And, resistless in their might, Sweep the traffic from our sight— Wipe from England's proud escutcheon Drink's foul blot : Therefore brave Sir Wilfrid Lawson. Falter not! The hypercritical may object that " eacuteheon " is hardly the rhyme for "Lawson," Poet Close might have done better, but we should be thankful for what we receive. Poet Camay might have made " caution " answer his purpose, or—say "lotion." fly the bye, "brace Sir Wilfrid" will he rejoiced to learn that the municipality of Rantns in Finland has decided to to interdict the sale of brandy in that village for the term of five years. Ejaculation overheard in a railway-can-iage in answer to the greeting of" Happy New Year " " Nno year. yeh ! Wish I'd died last year; Il 'a been a much richer man."  Some weeks ago the hotly of a woman, cut into pieces and tied up in an obl petticoat, was fouud in the Seine near P iris. After a long investigation by the police it has just been discovered that she committed suicide.  The new mansion which the Earl of Ellesmere is building on his Northamptonshire estates is nearly completed, and, with the extensive stabling attached, will have cost, by the time it is in occupation, some £150,000. Being close to Brickley, Lord Ellesmere's additional seat is in the centre of a fine hunting district, and it erection has given a remarkable impetus to the picturesquely situated and old-f amhioned town.  Victoria Alelita is the pretty name that has been chosen for the infant daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh: and her Majesty most have given a sigh of relief at the intelligence that there were only two additional denominatives to remember in the enlarging circle of royal grand-children, whom names alone previoudy number over a hundred. The Prince of Wales, it seems, was to have pail a visit to Colonel Owen Williams, at Craigydon, in the Isle of Anglesey, on the 15th of January. His Royal Highness, however, has now written to the gallant colonel postponing his visit until next summer.  A correspondent remarks, with reference to a recent note in this column concerning the revival in the West of the custom of members of a hunt dining in pink, that, "as far as the principal hunts in 'the !Mires ' are concerned, it is the custom. He can speak personally with respect to the member( f the following hunts dining in pink' (of course in the country awl during the hunting season) t -Pytchley„ Quorn, Belvoir, Cottesmore, Duke of Grafton's ; and he thinks he may add, Mr. Tailhv's and the Warwickshire. As to the trying nature of the colour on various complexions, it may be it .ticed that officers of nearly all Her Majesty's regiment+ wear a scarlet uniform at mess; and he is sure that any relief to the black evening dress of the period is something of a gain : it requires an aristocratic appearance to distinguish between the diner and the ordinary waiter, not always in favour of the former."  So here is General Adye eune to annum nn that all is for the bent in the bent of ponnible arnenals, and that we are bound to show all one little secrets to any foreign officer who cares to pry into them, whilst the Governments they reprement obntinately decline to give at the xlightent information of value. T.i in nsk Sir John Adye a question: Have the ,nuthorities at Woolwich succeeded yet in obtaining one of the new German field-pieces, in order to try it againnt our own guns? There are, or were, two old-fashioned Kriippn at Shoeburynens ; but, I nuspeet, no npecimen of the new and vastly improved weapon hat been obtained. Have we c, 11111 Ch RS a single !stand of Manner rifles to tent against that beautiful and expennice arm, the Martini-Henry! If we have either Krupp or Manner their existence hos been kept remarkably quiet: and toe are not at all given to hide our lights under lmshels.
