LAND REGISTRY.  The Lord C—liaocellor in pursuant:fa of the Land fransfer Act, 1875, made a number of general rules for the purpose of carrying the Act into execution, aml has annulle-d the subsisting general rules so far as they are inconsistent with the new ones. A new scale of costa to be -charged by solicitors in registration ptoceedings under the Act has also been draws up. Under the new system the concurrence of • solicitor with ,he applicant for registration with a possessory title is no longer necessary. A great many tedious and troublesome forms are done away with# and now the applicant will simply write his description of the land, on p. escribed forms furnished by toe office, and the registration is completed by merely filing the actual documents left in their proper place. Under the new system, as the deposited maps will be the actual sheets of the Ordnance Map. and there will be a survey officer in the office, sack vi ion sold on a regi 'tiered estate will be marked off the 3riginal deposited map, and a general Ordnance Map will be used for index purposes,and each original estate marked off thereon as registered. Arrangements are also in progress whereby niaps will be supplied and fettled for registration purposes at very cheap rates by the Ordnance Survey Department. Under the JI.I system none of the special provisions as to insurance, payments by instaln.ents, calling in capital. and otherwise, MI fri quently found in mortgages. 3Lold he introduced into charges of registered laud. Under the new system, however, provisions ste made for introducing these provisions and other usual provisions ancillary to a mortgage—ircluding mortgages to building societies, but without prejudicing the ein.plicity of dealing provided by the Act. Under the new system the certificate of &magistrate, commissioner for oaths, practising solicitor, or banker may be accepted as sufficient authentication,whereas previously the execution of almost every document had to oe witnessed and verified by a solicitor. Under the chi system the practice of the YCi•te was very strictly, and sometimes inconveniently, defined by the rules Under the new a wide discretion • is given to the registrar in all formal matters.  Music is to enter more fully than before into the :urriculum of studies at Eton. Ernest Jenner Marriott, 15 years of age, son of ur. Marriott, a well-known physiciaa of Leicester,, ha., been found banging to curtains in hie bedroom MO Kiliworth House. He was home for the holidays from Ciirltenliam College, and is supposed to bare conswitted suicide in a fit of passion. A swan, the property pant pehrtyof the been e Cork swimming which fur m thiii waters of the Lower Harbour of Cork, and was gnich admired, was, the other day, discovered to have both its eyee shot out, and the bird was being carried/ tint to see by a strong ebb tide when captured by pilot, who hr eight it to Queenstown, and placed! It in the Admiralty camber. There the poor bird sontinued swimming about, knocking against the quay walls aselboate, until a gentleman was &litho-, riled to put an end to its suffernaga by shooting it. A 501010 11.1-t L. L"Lgnon, in whim fiaquet, St. Martin and Lagtierre spoke in favour of General Be:Wenger, was held in the large courtyart of an inn. While Senator Nei:met—who is rather deaf—was holding forth, a hen was about to lay I an ege, and began to cackle viricwously by way of annooncing the fact. The indignant orator, believing • the noise proceeded from one of his heareramclaimed " Those who interrupt sic in such a fashion are the worst enemies of the republic!" The statement was . received with tremendous applause and loud laughter. A coolness, growing ont of the following conversation, has sprung up between Jones and Smith: I had a splendid time last night," said Jones. "I spent the evening at a little social gathering lat the Goodman mansion." " Ars the Goodmans nice people ?" queried Smith. "Well, I should say so. They are very aristocratic. To get into their circle one most have eithcr a great deal of money or a great deal of genius." "You don's tell me so! And you say you were there?" "Yes.' "Von were invited, were you?" "Of course." • "And to be invited a man has to have plenty of money lor it great deal of genius ? " "Precisely." "Well, I Jones, I am very glad to hear you have become rich all of a middies.
