A company has just been formed in London under the title! of "Bothan's Pioneer Saloon Car Company," for tho purpose otplaciug small ono-horso cars to run on short routes at halfpenny fares, They have the hovel idea, however, of [running every second or third omnibus as a smoking car, and those latter will bo fitted with automatio dolivery boxes for the supply of cigars and cigarettes, etc, Tho smoking cars will also be fitted with racks uf newspapers, so that a passenger can read the latest news solaced by an excellent ci?aretto. There has long been « lack of smoking travelling accomodation in tho London streets, and it is anticipated by the promoters that they will bo well supported by the general public No small stir has lately been created among Roman Catholics inlilasgowm connection with "faith cura" wrought by Canon Larkin, a priest from Donegal, Mr Larkin, who is only twoiity-threo years of ago, and was ordained a priest only six months ago, is stated to enjoy the unique distinction ol being tlio only Irishman who has joined the Order of tho White Canons or Premoii6tratensians since ths Reformation. The order is characterised by very rigorous discipline, including abstinence from fleshat all times, and severe fasts at certain poriods. Mr Larkin took up his quarters in a convent and as tho eastornex-miracle-worker in Ireland soon caused sufferers of all kinds to flock to him. Many of these going away cured, either wholly or partially, a rush set in, and soon crowdsof.maimed, halt, blind, &c. made their way to the convent that it was necessary to call in the aid of the police to keep order at the entrances, Particulars have been published of some of the alleged cure 3.

It came out in evidence at tho inquest on the first of the victims of the Otaki rocket disaster that the rockets had been left in an hotel some three years back by a Beafaring man, and that on the occasion of some rejoicings the landlord handed them over to a party of men to fire, He said that he was assured by them that they knew how to manage them, but this was denied, Anyhow it was evident that they knew nothing about them, for instead of. securing the rockets to sticks (which are necessary lo direct their course) they tied tlie sticks to the verandah aud stuck the rockets loosely on, Ono witness, an oxport, said that tho rockets were very laree, and he supposed must havo been intended to carry a line to or from wrecks, yet these dangerous missiles—almost as powerful as military rockets—were sent whizzing into the street below, because those who fired them did not know that a rocket required a stick to direct it. The London correspondent of the Birmingham Gazette says:—Humours upon which 1 can place reliance reach me simultaneously from two sources that Sir Charles Dilke is making great beadway in tho task of clearing his character. Tho lost "Fanny" has been found. She is in England and states that she did not como forward at tho trials, not because there had been anything wrong in her relations with Sir Charles Dilko but because, independently of him, there were passages in her life which sho did not wish to have dragged into light, She totally denies thattherois any truth; in the part of Mrs Crawford's evidence implicating her; but I am not abiotosay that she has promised to come foaward and repeat the denial upon oath. It she does then by so much Sirs Crawford's statement will be discredited; and it is agreed nn all hands that if the story of the "Fanny" incident bo not believed all tho rest falls to the ground Four brothers named Falquet, resident in Chicago, havo just come into £OO,OOO, th« price of some property in a London suburb, The property was converted into money by tho Crown, tho then owner, Caroline Grovo, leaving no.will and no known heirs. It was discovered that Caroline Grove was a yrand-daughter of one Mark Thormaquay, and tho daughter of one of the Falquet family, . The discoveiy interested Hugh I'ugh, of Cincinatll, who had learned something of the American family of that name, and after a Bhort time lie was able to show that the members of it were in reality the rightful heirs of the Grove estate. In the meantime two brothers claiming to be the descendants of ono of the daughters of Thormaquay, nearly established a claim to the property. On the trial, however, tho c»se wont against them. They took an appeal, but the lusher Court has just sustained the decision of the lower, As the estate is in cash, there can be but a short delay boforo the heirs get their share.
