On February 18th the Key. Sir Talmage, of Brooklyn Tabernacle, made a sensation by using the following words ; " All gamblers die poor. You point to Jolm Movrissey. He is not dead yet. I wish he were." The journals of the following day denounced Talmage. A Japanese paper, the " Akebono Shimbun," relates an extraordinary phenomenon which took place m the Province of Tosa, which forms part of the Kotchi Ken, On the 31st October, m the department of Hitada, about four o'clock m the evening, after a violent rain storm and thunder, one of the neighbouring mountains commenced to rumble, and m a moment parted asunder with a terrible explosion. It sent forth enormous torrents of water, which swept away the crops, and a number of people were killed and wounded. The editor of the " Lyell Argus " makes apology : — " Those of our subscribers who got last week's paper ' printed up side down' will we trust excuse us, when we tell them that being short-handed, a lady volunteered , to do the printing. She said she could turn a mangle or a sewing machine, and it was darned odd to her it she couldn't run a printing machine. The ' Deil ' and her went at it, and between the two they run the 'Argus' up-side-down. The woman consoled the editor by remarking ' never tr.ind, old chap, they will only say, ' the printer's tight again.'" The" Lyell Argus" is a most unique publication. Occasionally it appears printed on pink, yellow, and green paper ; for which the " De'il," as the editor calls somebody, gets the blame. A Settled Question. There are few subjects that are not open to debate. Captious disputants are to be found who are even prepared to prove that black is white, but there is one point so well settled that no one, except the man who denies the rotundity of the earth, will be likely to dispute it, viz : that as a general invigorant, a blood depurentj a cure for sick-headache, a remedy for hysteria, and appetizing tonic, and a mild exhilarant, Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Abomatic Schnapps is unsurpassed. — Advt.
