Measures were immediately taken, but the wretched informer, despite his eutieaties, was inhumanly thrust back into his cage, where his eyes were gauged from their sockets with the nmls with which the convicts had cut the flooring, and he was subsequently rescued, more dead than alive in a shocking condition.

Forty years 3.20 a murder committed in the City of Berlin was of rare occurrence, and when the news came oncsfrom Jagger street, near the R )yal theatre. that an old gentleman living alone and in good circum- stances had been murdered for uis money, it spread like wildfire all over the city, The news reached the ears of a brother of King VVillinm, whose residence was not very far from the scene of the murder. He, like many other people, hastened 156 the house and rooms where the murder was co nmitted, but. as the sequel showa, With an eye to business and to ferret out in his own way the poésihle murderer. u , __.._.1,,, 7., A... nu, rot“ V V The rooms in which the murder was com4 mitted showed that there must have been a. hard struggle before the old gentleman was killed, and blood stains of the murderer could be tracked a short distance from the house, where they disappeared. It was quite early in the morning yet when the princely detective, after being bmk to hle residence, appeared again on the scene oi the murder, this time in company with two geni I‘men on horseback; one being his over. eer of hounds, of which he kept a very large number alwaysâ€"the other apolicemm on horseback. Immediately the overseer, or huntsman, set the two hounds on the track of the murderer, and 05 they went, trailiz g at a very lively pace, the two men on horseback following them as good as they could. In less time than it takes to write these lims those two dogs finally halted ou Petri street, distance about two miles, clear up in a room under the garret of the house, and tracked the murderer of the old gentleman in his lair. Considering that there was no earthly clue to be found to the murderer on account of the old gentleman living alone and having no relations, before these dogs appeared, the work they did in less than half an hour can not be eclipsed by any detective living. And in view of the many murders in the country would it not pay for some Pinkerton to try the dog as a. detective. A correspondent of Toronto Week writes from the present western terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway. This is the most westerly town in Canada, this side of the Rocky Mountains :â€" n .v I, W, “ Calgary is reached alter the field glasses have long been levelled at the solid rock and eternal snow which loom up against the western horizon. For twenty-four hours there were two Calgary's; but it was for a day only. It is only in the west that a. town can get up on its own account and walk soross the river. The first Calgary was lomted on east side of the Elbow River, at its junction with the BJW. When the Railwa. Ccmpany roasted its station on the west 3 do, about a mile away from the old site, the east siders, with a few exceptions folded their tents and stole across the river and joined the enemy. In less than six weeks upwards of one hundred and fifty buildings (I ought to say shacks, for most of them are shanties) were run up with all the rush of a. booming mining town. A large crowd of Calgaryites turned out to meet our train. As there is only one passenger train a week, it arrival is looked forward to with the eagerness with which the Bluenoaes for- merely used to regard the arrival of a Cun- arder. Daily trains are soon to run, A construction trmn runs to the “ Summit” two or three times a. week. but Calgary is the end of regular travel.

A hundred years ago, before the country became serious, the people, especially in London, really had a great many anuse- ments, sports, and pastimes. For instance, they could go baiting of bulls and bears, and nothing is more historically certain than the ‘ fact that the more infuriated the animals be- came the more delighted were the specta- tors ; they " drew ” badgers, and rejoiced in the tenacity and the courage of their dogs ; they enjoyed the noble sport of the cock- pit ; they fought dogs and killed rats ; they “ squailed ” fowlsâ€"that is to say, they tied them to stakes and hurled cudgels at them. but only once a year, and on Shrove Tues- day, for a treat ; they boxed and fought and were continually privileged to witness the most stubborn and spirited prizefights ; every day in the streets there was the chance for everylo ly of getting a fight with a light-porter or a carter or a passengerâ€" this pioapect must have greatly enhanced the pleasures of a walk abrmd ; there were wrestling, cudgelling, and quarter-staff ; there were frequent matches made up and wagers laid over all kinds of things; there Were bonfires, with the hurling of squibs at pissers-by; there were public hangings at regular intervals an-l on a generous scale; there were open-air flogg ngs for the joy of the people; there Were the stocks and the pil'Ory, also free and open-air exhibitiom ; there were the great fairs at Birtholomew, Charlton, Fair'op, Oak, and Barnet. There were alro lotteries. Beside these amuse- ments, which were all for the lower orders as well as for the rich, they had their mug- houses, whither the men resorted to drink beer, spruce, and purl ; and for music there was the street ballad-singer, to say nothing of the bear-warden’s fiddle and the band of marrow-bones and cleavers. Lastly, for those of more elevated tastes, there was the ringing of the church bells. Now, with the exception of the last named, we have sup- pressed every single one of these amuse» mints. In the gardens of a. certain nobleman’s country house there happened to be fixed up up at different spots {minted boards, with this request: "Please do not pick the flowers without leave." Some wag got a paint brush and added an 8 to the last word. “I wonder what thi means ?" said Mrs' McGill. "It speaks here of the lyric pro- fessnon. V‘tht‘s that!” "Oh, the liaric profession.

The Empeior sits at his work 01 an ordinary chair covered with leather, and receives personally all communications, opens them himself, writes his decision on the margin, and hands them tn his secretary to be diep3sed cf._ One of his peculiarities is his economy in the use of paper and envelopes. In Versailles one v vening he annmnced a new victory of the Germans to the Chancellor on a. piece of piper which had been mm from a. letter. In Berlln the envelopes which reach him with reports iron the Foreign Office ad- dressed, “To his MJjesty the Empero:," go back With the “to” erased and “Irom” substituted, so that the envelope reels, “ From his Majesty the Empeior," with “ To the Chancellor ” written beneath. The Emperor’s extraordinary capacity for wo'k makes it possible for him to dispose, as a rule, personally of the sfllsirs connected with his office, or at least to direct their dis- position in his own way. 1y for the Jay The pendanenéé 6f7m§riiaige is indispens- able to the security of families ; the families are? the begins and girders which hold to- gather the State.
