A certain doctor of divinity said every blade of grass was a sermon. The next day he was amusing himself by clipping his lawu, when a parishioner said, *' That's right, doctor, cut your sermon ahort.'' The following very sad story ia causing a considerable amount of painful feeling in Rome: — A young man named Moretti, a tailor, was condemned to a short term of imprisonment for some alleged fraud in his dealings. A girl to whom he was betrothed weot to the delegate — police magistrate — to ask about his fdte and prospects. The magistrate told her he would assuredly remain many years in prison. The girl, in despair, poisoned herself forthwith. Soon afterwards Moretti waß found to be innocent, and was at once discharged. On learning the end of his betrothed he, too, poisoned himself. It i is asserted that the magigtrate spoke as he did at the instigation of the girl's mother, who wished to break off the match. Iu the Snprerne Court at Wellington a few days ago an eminent lawyer admitted that, through obscure instructions, ho bad been several days getting up a case from the wrong standpoint — his labors and researches could only be beneficial to hi* opponents, by whom he had wrongly believed he was retained. Two men fired simultaneously at each other in a Salt Lake bar-room, and the bullets came into collision. There could be no doubt of this, for one bullet dropped to the floor midway between the antagonists, who were ten feet apart, and the other was turned upward to the ceiling, while hoth were flattened. A huge YaDkee in Englan3, on being profusely thanked for having rescued a lady from the attack of a ferocious dog, which he seized by the throat and throttled,, said, " Of course, I was glad to help the gh\ ; but what I wanted most was to give tliat condemned English cur some adequate notion of the American eagle." The Nihilist trials have now come to an end, and the Standard says : — " It is evident that the blow struck at the whole social and political organisation in Eussia in the person of the ruler and his trusted officers came from the hands of a group of men strong only in their resolution and the very paucity of their number."
