The ex-King of Oudh, in India, has met with a piece of good fortune, in a quarter whence he least expected it. One of his wives, whom he supposed had left him for- ever, with all that made her dear to him, has died suddenly in possession of a fortune, to which, by the law of the land, he becomes sole heirâ€"a fortune estimated at $5, 000, 000. By which it seems that the wives of the Nawabs of India cannot only hold separate property, but that they may leave their for- lorn husbands at pleasure without a bill of divoreement. Mehal, the lady in question, was one of the wives of \Vajid Ali Shah, the deposed king of Oudh. She is supposed to have been the wealthiest of the thousand charming inmates of the royal zenana of Lucknow, and was the lawful wife of \\'aji Ali Shah. After the mutiny she left her zenana, which became somewhat demoralized by the dethronement of the King, and mar- ried her daroga privately. lenouneing this private ceremony, however, she took up, a few years ago, with a nephew of Newab Sir Mohsund-dowla, with whom she contracted a m'ka marriage. The espousal to the king, however, was the only- binding one, and Mehal died his lawful wife, and having no issue, all her great fortune went into his hands, which were already full, he having a a rank among the many millionaires of the wealthy City of Lucknow. Speaking of the ex-King of Until], a story is told of him in connection with the late visit of the Prince of \Vales. The Prince de- sired the ex-King to call upon him. He re- plied to the invitation that if he were con- sidered in the light of a sovereign there was necessity of his going to the Prince; but if an exile, and a fakir, there Was hardly any circumstance that would justify him in ap- proaching the august presence of so illustri- ous an heir-apparent. The reply struck the Prince, who resolved to pay the Shah a pri- vate visit, which he did, and the grandest preparations were made for his reception. In the course of conversation the Prince is said to have promised the ex-King that he would speak on his behalf to the Queen. The Prince was resented with a cane set with pearls and iamonds. From all this it is anticipat- ed that sooner or later Oudh will be restored to its ex-sovereigu. Sold by Druggists generally. The Dominion \Vo’rm Candy is the medicine do expel worms: Try it.

London season could not have spoken with a greater confidence ; the most practis- ed husband-hunter with a cooler calculation. “ Come,” continued Rose, “if you really are so sorry for me, Lady Lisgard, and so dis- tressed upon your son’s account, have I your permission to do my best to repair this com- mon misfortune !” My lady could scarce conceal a shudder at the thought how nearly had this cold-blood- ed scheming girl become her daughter-in-law. \Vhatever objections she might have had to such a match beforevand they were in them- selves insuperableâ€"seemed to have grown to twice their former proportions. The girl’s determination and self-confidence alarmed ,her, too, for that result about which she had before felt so certain. At all hazards, she was resolved to prevent an attempt at recon- ciliation being made. I “ That was very 'kind,” retumed Rose, quietly. “ But if I had behaved otherwise, would you then have welcomed me as your daughter-in-law ? Please to tell me that.” “ If I should say ‘ Yes,’ you would not be- lieve me, Rose. 80 why ask me such a, quesâ€" tion, Moreover, the matter is settled now for ever. He would be a. doting lover, in- deed, who would forgive such a repulse ; and Richard is the last man in all the world to do so. ” “ Do you think so ‘3” answered the young girl with an incredulous smile. “ You have forgotten surely your own youth, La/dy Lis- gm‘d." v “ What know you of my youth, girl ‘2" ask. ed‘ my Lady hastily, her pale face flushing with emotion. “Nay, do not be angry,” returnml the other coldly. “I meant nothing, except, that when a woman is young, she is very powerful. You say that I have lost Sir ’vichard, and therefore you pity me. Now, I will wager by this time to-morrow that I could Win him back again.” “I do so, mallam, very well. I see you held in honor, by all pgople, and without doubt, justly. Your position is indeed to me an object of admiration, perhaps, I may add, even of envy.

I never heard you enter the room at all. I woke up while you Were speaking, but scarcely knew whether I ought to reveal myself or not. I heard you reject poor Richard ; then, when he had gone, I thought that you repented having done so. I was moved at seeing you look so white and still. I felt for you, Rose; with all my heart, and came out, when I might as easily have remained concealed; to try to comfort you. My poor dear girl I" “ No, Rose'; I do not wish you to try to recover the affections of Sir Richard.” “ So, so ; then we have the truth at last, Lady Lisgard. You are not willing that I should be daughter-in-law of yours. You grudge me such great good-fortune as to be allied with the race of Lisgards : and yet it fell to your own lotâ€"as I have heardâ€"â€"eveu in a more unexpectegi ma._nner.” 7“I mean simply what I say.

I had meant it for a different purpose ; but that is no matter. Only do not; seek to win back my son ; and when you leave us, I will bless you for your forbearanceAâ€"and for your silence, Rose.” “ Miss Ayntén, what I was in no affair of yours,” replied my Lady with quivering lips. “ YQH _have only‘ to remember ~yvhag I am.” “Rose Aynton,” returned my Lady, clasp- ing the girl’s wrist, and speaking in very eur- nest but broken tones, “ I warn you, do not do it. Even if you succeed, you may not win all you dream of. Strive not, I charge you, for your own sake, to undo what has been done. I have reasons for what I say beyond any that you can guess. If you would be happy, do not endeavor to ally yourself with this fa_mily._” “ Lady Lisgalrd, what can you mean ‘3“ ejac- ulated the girl, her white face flushed at last, her wide flashing eyes no longer hard and cynical, and her every feature impatient for reply. “ Yes, Lady Lisgard, I will say nothin of all this,” returned the girl thoughtfully a ter a short; pause. “ I promise you to never speak of love to Sir Richard further ; and as for your offer of a bribe. though I do not know that I have ever shewn myself so greedy to deserve it-I will forgive you even that.” “ Thank you, thank you, Rose,” answered my Lady eagerly. “ I dare say, in my haste and trouble, I may have said things to ofiend you, and if so, I‘am very sorry. You have doubtless your trgubles toot” ‘ “ Yes, I have,” answered the girl gravely ; “ and I should like to be alone with them for a little, Lady Lisgard, unless you have any- thng else to ask me.” “ Hush, Rose ; do not say things thatjou may afterwards be sorry for: 1' Will'vtell you how it happened." “ Nay, do not trouhle yourself, my Lady ; I can guefis.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1876‘ It has been justly observed that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives. The statement is a very safe one, and might have been made a great deal more comprehensive by the philosopher who ut- tered it without risking his reputation for sagacity. \Ve do not know how our next-door neighbor lives, except in the sense of what he has for dinner, which may indeed‘be dis- covered by the curious ; nay, we often know not how our own household lives, how our very sons conduct themselves when not at meal-times and under our very eyes, what pursuits they really follow, what hopes, what fears, what ambitions they in secret enter- tain. It is well, indeed, and should be a matterpf congratulation, if we are quite cognizant of the “goings on” of our wives and daughters. It is strange to think what a world in little lies under the roof of any great mansion, such as Mirk Abbey. How interesting would the enuine individual biog- raphiesfiif one eoul only get at themâ€"of such a household be, from that of the mistress of the establishment (whose troubles we are endeavoriug to portray) down to that of the under kitchen-maid, concerning whom we have “no information,” but who has doubt- less her own temptations, wrongs and troubles also, which concern her with equal nearness, although they may not be so genteel ! It is probable that the true history of the second grave~digger in Hamlet would be to the full as interesting as what we know of that phil- osophic Prince himself, though his father had not been murdered by his uncle, albeit even that may have been the case, for aught we know. But, alas! the novelist has not the power which the Devil on Two Sticks pos~ gassed of lifting the tiles ofl‘ the attics; but The girl stepped swiftly to the open win- dow, and pushed the heavy folds of hair be- hind her ears. “ I feel my blood rushing to my brain, and roaring ‘ Ruin !’ ” murmured she. “ If this sudden fear has any real foun- dation, then indeed am I hoist with my own petard. No wonder she warned me against alliance with her race, if what I here suspect is true. They will need well-born suitors themselves, she meant, to make up for what is lacking in their blood, and mayhap money too. The will of old Sir Robert may be dis- puted. The Succession~but no, I had for- gottenâ€"there is no one to succeed, save her two sons, for they have not a relative beyond themselves in the world, these Lisgards ; but the title~that would be lost, of course. That’s what she hinted when she said that I might not gain the thing I counted on, even though I won Sir Richard. He cannot know of it ; he could not be so proud if he had the least suspicion of any blot in his own scut- cheon. How he would wither if one said to him: ‘Thou Bastard!’ And yet I gravely doubt whether this discreet madam, his m0- thcr, has not one day tripped. ‘ What know you of my youth, girl?‘ cried she a while ago, white, as I thought, with anger ; but it was fear, it seems. She comes here alone to find out for herself by study what secret course to follow, or what hidden dan- gers to avoid, having counsellor in whom she can confide. That seems so far certain, or she would surely ask her son himself, being a lawyer, or that wise Mr. Arthur Haldane, whom I so honestly dislike, for their advice. It may be all this bodes as ill for \Valter as for his brother; it may be that it bodes the yOunger the best of fortune, and the elder the worst. That would be a brave day, in- deed, for some one, on which the proud young barouet should sink to plain Mr. Rich- ard, and the poor captain rise to be Sir \Valter Lisgard ! And, again, there may be nothing in all this, after all. Time will doubtless show, and it shall be my task to hurry ’l‘ilne’s footsteps towards the discov- cry." “ I never heard that my Lady was given to Law,” muttered she derisively. “ True, she said that she had been sent to sleep, a thing which any one of these folios one might think would compass. But why did she come hither at all? There must have been something of interest to attract her. The books on this side does not seem to have been touched for ages ; but herefiyes, some one has been to these quite lately, for the dust has been disturbed, and here, 1 mistake not, is the dainty print of my Lady’s fingers. \Ve are etting warm, as the children say at Hide-an Seek. What have we here? A slip of paper for a marker, torn cross-wise from an envelope with Lad upon it. It was surely imprudent for my Lad to'use her own address for suehapurpose. ills! Ah, she has been studying the art of making wills, I dare say. Considering Sir Richard is already so well offâ€"and since I am not to be his wifeâ€"it is to be hoped she will leave her money to son \Valter ; and some, too, to poor dear Letty, for she is one who will never learn to help herself in this world. It is well for her that she has not to live by her wits. If she had been in my position, she would have been a governess. Yes, it’s all about Wills this book. And why should not my lady make awill, being of ripe age, and yet not old enough to suit? that smell of the eharnel-hogse, which !‘(?]1’1‘~‘,"S the operation so unpleasant a” duty to the aged. I am afraid ~unless, indeed, I could find the will itself wthat I have but discovered a mare’s nest after all. However, here are more book- markers ; come, let us combine our informa- tion.

To think that I should have lost a prize like that through mere humility of mind! ‘ Yet even if you succeed,’ said she, ‘you may not win all you dream of.’ Those were her very words. ‘Haste and trouble ’ alone could never have suggested them to her, althouah they may have made her indiscreet enough to utter them. \Vhat has put my Lady in such low spirits of late, and kept her so moped up within the Abbey walls? How came she alone here in this place, whither as she says, ‘ N 0 one comes ?’ She must have been hidden in yonder recess in the far corner, or we must needs have seen her, when my love-sick swain and 1 were walking up and down.” “No more spying, my lady 1" ejaculated she ; “my hostess has her secrets, it seems, as well as I. It would be well if I could dis- cover hers before she found out mine. W'hat could she mean by cautioning me, for my own sake, not to ally myself with the Lisgards? She is nota fool to think to frighten me with a mere gipsy’s warningâ€"threatening much, but meaning nothing. What reasons can those be against by becoming her daughter- in-law, which are ‘ beyond any that I can “ Nothing, Roseâ€"~110thing ; you have granted all I wished.

My Lady leaned foxzward as she spoke, and kissed the girl’s smooth brow, cold as a tablet 0f alabaster, and then softly left the room. UI' EARLY CHAPTER XI A“ It’s that infernal idiot Derrick himself who has done it,” continues the captain. “That’s his room, I know. Just as if he could not have got u in the dark, as I did : a fellow that probab y had never more than a farthing dip to light him any morning, be- fore he went to Cariboo. I wonder, for my part, he can dress without a valet. What a stuck-up, vulgar dog it is ! How I hate his pinchbeck ostentation, and still worse, his dreadful familiarity 1 If it could only be found out immediately after this Derby that he was a returned transport, with five-and- twenty years or so of his sentence still unex. pired, how delightful it would be ! I really think that he is least objectionable in the evenings, when he is drunk. There is some- thing original in his brute-manner of swill- ing ; a sort of over-driven-ox style about his stagger, which would make his fortune upon any stageâ€"where there was room enough for the magnitude of the exhibition. Certainly, one has to pay for the society of this sort of gentry, and still more for their friendship. Alas, that I should have made this fortunate savage fond of me! I wish I could feel as Valentine did with Orson, instead of being much more like the too ingenious Franken- stein, whose monster became his master. However, that has not yet come about yetâ€" notwithstanding meddling Mr. Arthur Hal- dane’s warnings. mLet me see, it was arrang- ed, I think, that I was to.whistle to this animal. Master Walter drew a silver cab. call from his pocket, and executed upon it the disconsolate cry of one who in London streets between the closing of the night- houses and the rising of the sun desires a. Hansom. Instantly the light from the inn began to diminishâ€"once, twice, thrice ; and then the easement became blind and rayless like the other windows. “ That beggar had four candles lit !" ejaculated the captain with irritation. “ It was a mercy that he did not bring out the village fire-engine! Here he comes with his eternal pipe, too. I daresay he had the imprudence to light that before he left the house, and Steve’s red nose will smell it.” There are some men who always look the same, no matter at what hour you come upon them : fresh, and hearty, and strong, they have but to duck their heads in cold water, and straightway the fatigues of a weary day are utterly obliterated. They rejoice like giants to run their courses without any sort of preparation in the way of food and sleep, such as the rest of mankind require. Against this healthy animalism we protest, by calling it rude health ; and to those who are of aless powerful constitution, it is naturally an of- fensive spectacle. \Valter Lisgard had him- self by no means a delicate organisation ; his complexion, though pale, was far from sick- ly ; his limbs, though models of grace rather than of strength, were of good proportions and well knit. But he was conscious of look- ing heavy-eyed and haggard, and he secretly resented the robust and florid appearance of the unconscious individual who now joined himâ€"a man at least twenty.five years his senior. “Maybe I have and maybe I haven't, Master \Valter ; but I shall burn just as many candles as I like. 1 have worked hard enough for my money, and, (lmn'me, but I’ll “ lVell, I never had a bedroom there, that you would call such, as I have told you again and again, Master Walter; but I have burn- ed twenty candles at a time when they were selling at Antler Creek at five dollars a pound. You imagine, I suppose, that it is only you gentlemen who live at home at ease who have money to spend; but let me tell you that is not the case. I will go bail for my part, for example, that I’ve paid more sovereigns away in twenty-four hours than your brother, Sir Richard, ever did in a week.” ‘ Softly he turns the key of the front door: ‘ softly withdraws the bolts, and would as ‘ softly have slipped out, but that there is sud- denly a jar and a whir and the opening door is held fast by an iron hand. “ Confound the chain ‘2” exclaims the captain. “ It is as dif- ficult to get out of this house as out of New- gate.” Then, when all is still quiet, he emerges upon the stone steps with an “I wonder for my part how burglars are ever discovered,” and takes his way towards the village. The gates are locked at the end of the avenue, and the porter and his wife are doubtless fast asleep, as well as fair-haired Pollyfldreaming perhaps of himself, thinks the captain with a half-contemptuous, half- complaeent smileâ€"but Master Walter, who is as active as a cat, climbs the stone pillar by help of the iron hinge, and “ drops ” noiselessly on to the road. He passes up the humble street, where each cottage is quiet as the gravefitwo blessed hours intervening yet between its inmates and their toil, and makes for the Lisgard Arms. The inn stands on a slight elevation, so that he sees it some time before he nears it. “ Why, the place is on fire !" mutters the captain ; and certainly there is some extraordinary illumination tak- ing place in one of the apartments. A flood of light pours from it as from some Pharos, as though to beckon benighted folks whither good ale is to be found ; and yet the house is always shut at eleven, in conformity with the , squire’s orders. “ I suppose you have been accustomed to get up at these unearthly hours at the gold- diggings, that you look so disagreeany wide- awake, Mr. Derrick,” grumbled he. “ You would very much oblige me if you would but yawn.” v “ Get up ! Master Walter ; why, I’ve never been to bed,” answered the bearded man with a great gufi'aw. “ The fact is, that I took a. little more than was good for me last night, and I did not dare lie down, knowing that we had this buginese on hand so early.” “ My dear Mr. Derrick, you are boastful this morning,” said the captain quietly ; “ it is my belief that you have taken a hair of the (log t-liat_bit you} overnight.” “ Why, one would think, by the amount of light, that you have been lying in state, like some deceased king of the Cannibal Is- lands,” returned the other peevishly. “ Was it your habit to use two pair of candles in your bedroom in C‘arihoo‘?" Taking advantage of even this ‘moderate privilege, we are sometimes rewarded with phenomena. Thus, it is little else than a portent to see Captain \Valter Lisgard, who is not generally addicted to early rising, up and dressed upon a certain May morning be- fore the cloek on the great stairs has sounded three. True, he has been out of bed once or twice at such an hour on other occasions, but then it was because he had not retired to rest the night before. He has done that, how- ever, this time, or, at all events, has exchanged ‘ his evening-dress for morning-costume. Some people do get up at the most premature hours, even in winter, and light their own fires, and retrim the midnight lamp to pursue literary or scientific labels; but if Captain Lisgard has got up to study, we will eat' him. “’hat can he be about? He gropes his way down the great staircase, where darkness is made visible by streaks of grayish lightâ€"which is not yet dawnâ€"struggling through cracks and crannies ; and he stumbles over the heavy rug beneath the bottom step, and swears with involuntary emphasis. Then he listens a while, to see what will come of that. The great clock on the hall-table ticks reproving~ ly: “ Don’t, don’tAShame, shame !” as he never heard it tick before; and here and there breaks forth an ex ostulatory creaking, as though from moral iilrniture, which has no such seruples in the daytime ; but his ejaculation has aroused no living being. has generally to content himself with such glimpses as he can obtain through the key- holes of the first and second floors.

Well, never mind.â€"â€"Lct me see, I was speaking of Cariboo, was I not? \Vell, success or failure there was a question of life and death. One might be a beggar, or one might be the king of the colony. I had known what poverty wasâ€"and that is not merely being without money, mind. I have lived among a savage people for months who had neither gold or silverâ€"nothing to hoard and nothing to spend save shells picked up on the sea-shore, and strung on sea-weed for a purse ; and I wasas poor as they; but yet it was not poverty. But I had felt the sting of that in many a crowded city, and I came to Cariboo to escape from it. If I should make my thousand pounds or so, I would buy a farm, or a share in a ship, and live a quiet respectable life to the end of my days. While making these good resolutions, my ready moneyâ€"which was also all I had in the worldâ€"was melting fast. With the last ten pounds of it,]I bought the half of a small claim at Snowy Creek. Blanquette and I sawed our own lumber and made our own sluices. It was no light work even for me, who had been used to rough it. There was twelve feet of top-stripping to be removed, before we could hope to reach the pay-dirt. For the first five days, we made nothing. I would have sold my share in the whole concern for a couple of pounds, and begun with that afresh ; but on the sixth day we found fourteen ounces of gold, and I was worth fifty pounds. Then I would not have sold my chance for scarcely any sum that you could name. I would have shot any man that had jumped into our pit, spade in hand, just as I would have shot a dog. Your brother, Sir Richard, may talk about the rights of property, but he never appreciated them as I did then. On the seventh day, we found forty-five ounces ; on the ei hth, sixty. The find kept on increasing, til?F it rose to four hundred ounces daily, when we employ- ed eight hands to clear away the tailings. The whole area of the place out of which I scooped my fortune was not eighty feet by twenty. I found for my share twelve thous- and pounds in it.” “ My dear sir,” interrupted his companion gaily, “it appears to me that you are taking gloomy views. What is life without excite- ment ‘3” Miss Dickenson, the plaintiff in the Baker trial last autumn, is, it appears, to be short- ly married to Lord Howard de \Valden. The lady is twenty and the gentleman forty- five; the lady is to have a title and £160,- 000 settled on her. “ I think no one, ‘Mastiar VVValter. There was no claim so rich as my mate’s and mine at Snowy Creek, and it did not yield that sum. But, by Heaven, how well I remember what it did yield. It seemed to me then that 1 should never run risks any more, but live on what I had in content and plenty ; and yet here I am, this very morning "â€" “And in candles, Ralph,” asked Master Walter smilingâ€"“how much in candles?” “ In one thing and another, dear lad, I spent four thousand pounds before we land- ed 1n England. Even what was left would have seemed affluence six months beforeâ€"â€" But there, what’s the good of talking ‘3 There’s the rubbing-down house, is it not? and I shall soon know whether I am gogng to get a second fortune, or to lose what I have. ” “ Ay, my lad ; but you are dear to me for your own sake, also, although, indeed, 1 source knowwhy.” “Thank you, Mr. Derrick.” “ True," continued the other thoughtfully, Without noticing his companion’s fiippant tone, “ you are li'kevah, Heaven, how like you are to one that’s (lead andgone 1 Indeed, I can refuse you nothing when I think upon it. It' is not everybody, however, lad, to whom I would humor by telling exactly what I am worth. \Vhile a man is merely known as rich, he may have any sum, and be looked up to accordingly ; but when his wealth can be reckoned to a pound, he loses credit. If Mung/laws wins at Epsom, I shall be worth“- ay, a hundred thousand pounds.” v 2‘ I suppose no one in Cariboo ever made a sutlx‘l like-that by golQ-Eiiggingt 'e}_1“!” “No, lad, I did not.

That rather robs the compliment of its flavor.” “ That is true, W'alter Ijisgard ; and yet I never saw a face that took my liking as yours doesâ€"save once. I could not tell what drew me so towards you, when I first met you up at the Farm yonder; but now I know very well.” “ Dofi’t talk of obligations, lad, for I like youâ€"ay, so Well, that I wish you were a son of mine ; not that I am fit to be the father of such as you either ; I know that well.” “ If I were your son, I am afraid you would have a. good deal of trouble with me, M 1'. Derrick,” replied the young man laugh- ing ; “I am not a good boy.” This was the first sentence of conciliation, not to say of civility, that the young man had spoken, and heretofore his air had been cross or cynical ; yet no sooner did he evince this little of good-will, than the manner of the other, softened at once to a degree that was very remarkablein so rough a. man. “ It is a very circuitous route," returned Master \Valter frankly ; “ and I was in hopes it might be shortened to the fancy, by hearing you tell somethingof your own story. But, of course, I have no wish to press you to tell it against your will. You have conferred ob- ligations upon me enough already, I am quite aware." ' The two men had left; the village, and were pursuing a winding chalk-road that led, but not directly, to the Downlands at the back of Mr. Chifncy's stables. “‘Veli,' we inwde nothing for the first five days,” answered Derrick drilya“ nothing at all.â€"â€"How far have we got to go to reach the Mgaisured Mile 13y pliisi rogd ?’_’__ A “ Well, now}, what did you make ‘2” urged the gang}; man, as» the qther hesitgategl. “That’s tellings, captain," responded the other with a cunning chuckle ; “ but when I was on Fraser River, me and my mate Blan- quette, yve made ”_~â€"~ - “ You would have a perfect right to do so, Mr. Derrick,” returned the other gravely; “ and, for my part, if your horse should cast a shoe in my neighborhood, I should warmly applaud your expensive tastes.

It is simple enough. Shake the loose halter rope (he has neither bridle nor bit) against his neck as you swing the whip, and the animal at once swings into an easy pace; that is, a. pretty easy pace, like that of a. rocking horse. But everything depends upon the camel. DOM PEDRO rises at a. very early hour in the morning.

The other dogs fol- lowed in procession. There the dog-sexton dug a grave at the foot of a tree and deposit- ed the body, and the other dogs joined in covering the remains with earth. The mourn- ers then united in howling for fifteen min- utes, when they dispersed. This almost in- credible story is substantiated by several persons of high standing, some of whom are ladies of the family in which the incident oc- curred. ALL work and no play sent a man to the insane asylum in Davenport, Iowa. He was a workman in a factory, and his industry during ten years could not easily have been increased. He was at his bench early and left it late. No amusement broke the mon- otony of his daily life. He scarcely knew of anything outside of the factory and his home. It is not wonderful, therefore, that his mind had room for morbid fancies. He imagined that his foreman was plotting to kill him, and that the whole world, excepting his daughter, was in the conspiracy. He made the girl stay constantly with him as a defen- der. Next, he barricaded himself in his house, and from that mimic stronghold he was sent to the asylum. The moral points to the wisdom of recreation. PREPARATIONS are already being made for the next general elections for the German Reichstag, which in all probability will occur before the end of the year. The social Dem- ocrats, who intend nominating working-men candidates in all the large manufacturing towns, are the most active. The great party of National Liberals, consisting of 150 mem- bers inthe Reichstag willbe supportedbyGov- ernmcnt in the elections, and therefore will hardly sustain any great loss. The Conser- vatives, however, who at the last elections sustained heavy losses, will again be much weakened. The Ultramontanes, who gained twenty-five seats at the last electionsâ€"their number having risen from sixty-seven to ninety-twoâ€"will probably gain the majority in all the Roman Catholic constituencies of Silesia and the Rhenish provinces, where their power has greatly increased. In Alsace- Lorraineâ€"entitled to elect fifteen Deputiesâ€" the Moderate Party, who look upon the an- nexation as an irrcmediable evil and demand self-government for the new imperial prov- inces, will this time certainly succeed in electing several candidates. The Poles, who are deeply irritated by the approaching in- troduction of German as the obligatory offici- al language in the Grand Duchy of Posen, will in all probabilit command still more seats in the next Reic stag. Their party in the German Parliament at present counts thirteen members. to make him change his gait.

Riding Camels. [From Warner’s Book on Egypt,] Mounting the camel is not difficult, but it has some sweet surprises for the novice. The camel lies upon the ground with all his legs shut up under him like a jackknife. You seat yourself in the broad saddle and cross your legs in front of the pommel. Before you are ready, something like a private earth- quake begins under you. The camel raises his hind-quarters suddenly, and throws you over upon his neck ; and before you recover from that he straightens up his ‘knees and gives you a jerk over his tail ; and, while you are not at all certain of what has hap- pened, he begins to move off with that dislo- cated walk which sets you in a sea-saw mo- tion, a weaving backward and forward in the capacious saddle. ‘ LESS than three years ago the present Gov- ernor of Hiogo Ken, Japan, told Mr. Greene that if a native bookseller sold a copy of the English Bible, knowing it to be a Bible, he (the Governor) would be compelled, acting under orders from Yeddo, to put said book- seller in prison. At that time none Of the servants of the missionaries at Kobe dared to attend famin worship. Now a Christian newspaper is started in Kobe, by permission of the government, a church of about forty members is gathered, and a church building, to be erected in the native town with native money, is under consideration.

Only 635,045 attain the age 25, and but 421,115 that of 55. .Out of the whole million only 2,153 reach t ' e age of 95, 223 live to be centenarians, and only one at- tains the 108th year. The latest statistics confirm the statement that females live l'on- ger than males, and married people longer than single ones, and it also appears that Jews live longer than Christians. 11‘ appears that the Viceroy’s country is a Turkish despotism in all its monstrosity. In the first place, slavery is universal and main- tained by the will of the sovereign ; second, the labor on public works is forced and un- paid, and that on the Viceroy’s'estates ‘is practically unpaid. Conscription is conduct- ed by the press-gang, and confiscation of pri- vate estates, cattle and goods, is habitual to the Viceroy, the owner being obliged to take in payment what an official, anxious to please his master, may determine. Taxation is ter- rible in burden and in manner of collection. SOME of the Yankee papers are in a bad way about the refusal of the British Govern- ment to extradite Winslow, and talk about breach of treaty engagements, &c. Evenif there was anything wrong about the refusal to extradite \Vinslow, the Yankees ought to be the last to say anything about breaking treaty faith. But the fact is that our cute neighbors tried to get possession of Winslow by fraud, and J ohn Bull was too sharp for them; that’s the whole matter in a. nut- shell.
