The irritation was at, times almost unbearable. 1 tiiod almost every remedy known and was treated by a doctor, hut all to no purpose, and 1 began to think I should never get relief from my constant suffering.

Fined a penny and a month to pay ! At the Sydney central Summons j Court, the City Conned s iu;-necioi : proceeded against a man on a charge of hawking in the ciiy streets without a license. The magistrate, ou • hearing the circumstances, thought the ease should be withdrawn, but tne inspector thought the opposite. His Worship thereupon turned to tne defendant and said, “You are fined one penny, in default, a minute s hard labor. I’ll allow you any reasonable time to pay —a month, if you hke. How long do you require:'” due defendant: If your Worship pleases—a month. —Magistrate: Very '.veil, you are allowed a month to pay. I must reduce it to an absurdity! A notable incident at one cl the British Association meetings at Brighton in 1872 is being recalled. Stanley, lately returned from Africa, was the attraction on that occasion. Stanley was a journalist as well as a traveller, and something of an orator, too, and he worked off a startling effect as lie told of Ids meeting with Livingi stone at TTjiji. Livingstone had asked for news of the outside world. *1 told him.” said Stanley, “Europe had been convulsed: dynasties had been overthrown. . . . Napoleon HI. is at this moment a* refugee in England.” Napoleon, with the Empress Eugenie at his side, was sitting among the audience. ... As Stanley’s words thrilled his hearers, the Emperor was seen to start and turn pale, and he did not recover his composure for some ! minutes.

Further particulars are to hand regarding the raising oi the steamer Walkure, which was sunk rn the harbour at Papeete during the bombard-

ment by German warships about 18 .months ago. It was at first stated that the ship was sunk by a German * shell, but it was discovered later that ; a Frenchman sunk her by opening her ■ seacocks, and so prevented the Ger;mans from taking her coal. The Vessel was purchased by an American interest as she lay at the bottom of the harbour, and the price paid is stated |to have been about £SBOO. Salvage operations were remarkably successful, • and the vessel was raised practically I intact. Not only that, but about 2000 tons of phosphates, which were aboard, I were recovered, and taken to Honolulu for discharge. Whether- the phosphates were included in the purchase price of £5300 is not stated. The cost of salving the vessel is estimated at less than £20,000; and at the present abnormal price of tonnage it is calculated that the Walkure, renamed the Republic, is worth at least £IOO,OOO. jSho is n vessel of the turret-deck type,

of 3836 tons gross, and 2403 tons net' register. Her builders, were W. T)oxford and Sons, Ltd., Sunderland, England, and she was constructed in 1907.
