OOO. This estimate includes, of course, what in legal phrase Is grandiloquently termed the "coat of the award' ; not as one might imagine a ponderous item, for it only moans about £9O. 'Tie the costs of the arbitration, not those of the award, that will trouble the pockets of the parties interested. At the hands of the ingenious foreigner the great American language fares no better than the English. Here is a letter which has just been received in reply to an advertisement for a musician, who in exchange for English was I asked to practice duetta with an Englishman residing in Vienna :—"Gentleman ! In answer to your letter I of course am a good piano player and shouli be glad you then could teach knie piano playing for 40 hr. an hour also I play any concert piece immediately down from ' the leave righteausly. May be I call into you later, when I shall have an instrument may be on the 1 July. I was sick for many months, nervous from piano-playing therefore I haven't any; excuse me. I was eight years in New York; for that reason I am an American."  Another mysterious affair in Paris is exciting a great deal of attention. The army of inspectors, market women, and porters who are employed at the Central Market are in a state of commotion owing to the sudden disappearance of the widow Lorillon. Madame Lorain, a young woman, was of opulent means, and besides her stall in the market she had, so a t aris correspondent informs 118 three shops, her annual rental amounting to £2OO. Since her husband's death two years ago her managing man was a young market porter named Moqueloux, whom she had not only promoted to an important post, but had also favoured in a particular manner. Matters west on very well between the pair until lioNueloux, on Friday last, visited the widow's father and asked his consent to a marriage between himself and Madame Lorillon. This the father refused indignantly, and since that day the widow has , not been seen. On Saturday Plocejuelotix went to the Haller, and told everybody, with sobs and lamentations, that the widow had left him with 1 the intention of committing suicide. In the meantime the friends of the missing woman communicated their suspicions to the police. The promoted porter was arrested, and his neck was found to be injured in various places, 118 if by the nails of some person with whom he had had a struggle. A market woman deposed that on Saturday morning she found lloequeloux counting a heap of gold, and when she asked him about his mistress he told her savagely to mind her own business. This is, 55 yet, the only evidence against the prisoner.  IA curious search for treasure believed to be buried in the Alford-park in Allahabad, is described in the Allahabad papers received by the incoming mail. It seems that some years before the Mutiny the then Prime Minister of the King of Delhi resigned his appointment, and brought his family and worldly possessions to Allahabad, where he built a large house and an underground chamber to keep his jewels and treasures. For years the existence of the underground chamber was forgotten by all except some relatives, who, on trying to reach it on one occasion, were so stung by hornets whom they had dist.lrbed that it was taken as a sign that it was God's vrill that the treasure should I be reserved for a future generation. In course of time barracks erected over the chamber were demolished, and the present park laid out. Recently the existence of the treasure was brought to the attention of Captain Hamilton, an old resident of Allahabad, who had helped to prepare the site for the barracks. He ohtainid as much information as he could get from the existing relatives, and obtained from the collector permission to dig and a police escort. On May 22, about 60 coolies were set Ito work, and they soon came upon some masonry, but, unfortunately, a youngeobrawasunearthed just then, and the men refused to work any more. believing that the treasure was guardedl , by cobras, and that it was an sat of sacrilege to dig for it. The excavations, however, were going on when the mail left.
