DEEMING IN SCOTLAND

Intense excitement has been manifested in Scotland as elsewhere (says the Otago Daily Times correspondent) in the disclosures made regarding the career of the arch-villain Deeming, and the publicity given to them has elicited some particulars respecting his doings on this side of the Tweed. It is affirmed that he was at one time a fishmonger in Argyle place, Edinburgh, but left the city soon, and in a remarkable manner. He was closely watched by detectives, on suspicion of being “ wanted ” by the London police, but he evidently discovered their attentions. One day he brushed past the detectives on the common stair as he ivas going up to his lodging on the third floor. As soon as he got in he asked his landlady for the loan of her clothes rope, and on getting it immediately went into his own room. The detectives speedily followed him, but only to find the window open and the bird flown. He had tied the rope to the bedpost, slid down it outside, and got clear off. His landlady stated that he always carried a longbladed knife on his person, and kept a loaded pistol within reach at night. He seems to have been in Edinburgh from April August 1882, and went under the name «*f Williams. The man who managed his shop for him is now a resident in Glasgow. About six years ago he seems to have lodged, under the same name, at the Royal Hotel, Galashiels, for some days. He sought to pay his hotel bill by cheque, but the landlord, acting under the advice of the local superintendent of police, declined to accept payment in that form. “ Williams ” got the money in some other way and cleared out. It is now believed that he abstracted two £lO notes from the pocketbook of an English traveller, who missed the notes while staying at the hotel at the time, but no one suspected the “ inspector of regiments ” as being the thief. It seems that the murdered woman Emily Mather was well-known in Forres, where she had spent her holidays with her grandparents on seveal occasions during her school career.

The St. Lawrence river is the only absolutely floodless river in the world. Its greatest variation caused by drought or rain never exceeds a foot.

I used to enjoy watching these children of Nature, who were so true to their instincts. Inborn coquettes, they never missed a chance of airing it, too often to their cost, for many of these attractive girls, who deserved to be loved and cherished for their trust apd simplicity, were misled, and induced to become native wives; in plain language, mistresses and mothers of children, who, in time were bound like themselves to be adandoncd by the gay deceivers who leave the colony to revisit it no more.—From “ Tahiti,” by Dora Hart.

Holloway’3 Pills— lmportant for the delicate. —It is difficult to determine which is the more trying to the human constitution, the damp, cold days of autumn and winter, or the keen, dry, easterly winds of spring.
