Today he was found sitting on the railway Hoc, near the Karer* station, when the train was inst about due. Mr George Richardson induced him to get into his trap. The man is very desponding.says he has no means of support, is without friends, says his appeals for assistance have been m vain, and makes threats of laying violent hand on his own life. Surely th© police have heard of the man's mental and physical condition and should have seen to him before this. At presentthepoormanisnotresponsiblo for what ho says or does, and should be taken care of. The Gordon oxpedkion, it is said, has already cost £ 13,000,000 . The London Tinea attained its hundredth year on January Ist. The prevailing notion is that the year m. which it was founded was 1788, the truth )»eing that the 940 th number of the journal appeared ou the first day m that year. Tho mistake is due to confounding a change m the title with the foundation of the journal. ' ' Mr Dixbn, sen., requests us to state that Master Dixou's accident is hot so serious as was at first supposed, and that other details published m our columns as to the eye falling out as a result of tho '-accident, ajp incorrect. |Tl«e particulars as published were supplied to our re- : . porter by Mr Beck.l It is also not improbable that the sight of the injured eye will yot be preserved.
