MISCELLANEOUS.
A strange sect has sprung up in one of the provinces of Spain. The prophetess dispensed entirely with clothes, which led to a prosecution. The devotees, who injured themselves to represent the marks of the Crucifixion, and burned nearly all their worldly possessions are also being prosecuted. Opponents of the prize ring in England propose to introduce a bill in Parliament forbidding the publication in newspapers of prize-fight reports. A joker lately declared that a blind man by taking something the breakfast-table recovered his sight. What did he take ? He took a tea cup and saucer (saw, sir). It was very careless leaving the parrot in the parlour on Sunday evening; but she never thought anything about it until Monday morning, when it aroused the whole bouse by making a smacking noise and crying,. “ Darling Katie! darling Katie! ” It kept it up all day, too, and the old folks are much interested in the case.
