review, although the debate was chiefly directed to the proposals in connection with the East African Company. The criticism of one member greatly incensed Priuco Bisinavk, who declared that such critichm was unpatriotic, and would ibjuretionmuiy's prospects in tho parleying that was going on with England on certain disputed points. Prince Bismark said that it was impossible at the present to liberate all the sluves ; in Zanzibar; but their object ,vas to piit a stop to the slavo trado in that country, Referring to the remarks niiido in cpnnection with Sainoan affairs, ho contended that tho German colonial policy was not to lw abandoned because of the errors and sacrifices that had becu rondo at the outsot.

The parochial schools at Woodstock, England, have been closed, and the acholara deprived -of tlio opportunity for ■ education, beoauso of a feud that rages between the Duke of Marlborough and the rector, When the divorced duko brought'his seuoiid dnChess homo to Blenheim, the rector, being a man of metal, forbade the ringing of the church bells in honor of ivhat ho believed to bo an .unscripted union. Thereupon tho duko retaliated by stopping his subscription . of £lO. per annum to tho parochial schools',' ahd they have since been closed. Tho''rector tells us that the duko "has forbidden myself and my ourates to give any religious instruction in the schools of Blandon, which is part of my parish, Ho has also, through his agent, withdrawn the privilege of driving through Blenheim Park from myself and my family." What an instructive light this incident throws on the relations between church and State in the rural districts of England. The 'Daily News, of December 1, gives the following information regarding increase postal, facilities at Home: -"The lat'.st innovation at the Post Office happily comes inlo'operation with the current month, Shortly described it is the application in a modified form of the rule of returned empties found to work bo well by tho railway companics Jt will inevitably give a great impetuj to the employment of the parcels post. Traders sending patterns and samples generally require t" liavo them returned, and the postage thus a second time levied comes in the aggregate, to be,a serious item in the cost, Henceforth the chargo will bo materially reduced. A ioz packet will be a ncnuj - : a On/, thrce-half-pcnce; an Boz twopence. No ono can tuko' exception to this postage as excessive. But to get the benefit of the scale cerlaiit rules for its use must be complied with. Their object is to show the hoik lides of the transaction, and the samples or patterns conveyed so cheaply are in fact really sent back. The wrapper which has brought them must therefore be used for their return, tho name of tim expediting firm appoarinVin print on the face

of it. Or a frosh wrapper may bo used oi'Kinally enclosed with the samples at (lie time uf their despatch, The public wi'l soon get habituated to these formalities, and it would be rash to predict what further development the department! nmy receive as a great distiibutiny asjency by the time we reach Christmas' of 1889."
