Theanimils tobukdlel aie pi iced in a chamber ohaigcd with a mixture of carbonic oxide and chloroform vapour, when they tranquilly fall asleep and wake no uioie. At a banquet, when solving enigmas was one of the diversions, Alexander said to his courtiers —' What is that which did not come last jeai, lias not come this year, and will not come next jear?' A distressed olHcer, starting np, said —'lt mnst ceitaudy be 0111 anen.s of pay.' The king was so diveited that he com mandid him to be paid, and also in cieased his salaiy.' ' Yoi'K wickedness will bring down \our fathei's givy hair in sorrow to thp gravj,' said ait Austin school tiacher to tiie worst boy in the school ' Oil, no ; I guess not.' ' \ie jou going to reform, then, and kad a new life ?' ' Not much ; but I am not going to bring the old man's hair in sonow to the gra\e, for the old duffer wears a wig and belongs to the cremation souety.' As Austin man was awakened by a binglar opening a shutter The dis tin bed pioprietor of the bou»i> got out hia pistol, remaikiim to his wife, 'lain not quite sine this j>is fr>l is loaded.' The burglar, however, oveiluaid the remark, and being a reader of the newspapers and remembering how many accidents happen from unloaded pistols, fled in wild dismay, ltavinp his professional instruments behind him. ' Wkll, father, I mnst confess I don't know what to do with your daiiiiht- r ; she's haul to b\e with -idle, selfish, expensive.' 'Quite like her mother, my boy But mind you, if she doesn't get over it all, anil you lind its necessary to come to me again —if, I say ' ' Yes, as \on were saying, if ' Well, if she does, I prunmo to disinherit her !' After that the fellow spoke of her in terms of continual lespect. Proiuiha' the most extraordinary example of an emblenntie tomb is that of S'r Thomns Perkyns in the chant* 1 of Huniiy Church, Nottinghauishiia Sir Thomas hail a great icptitation in the midland counties as a wrestler ;and the monument in question, erected in the middle of the last century, consists of a st-itue which represents him in the tap and dicss of a wrestler, and in the utti'iide of wrestling with Death for an opponent. Ai,thou<jii Prince Albert Victor of Wales will enter as a student at the Middle Temple he will not go through any of the examinations necessary prp- \ ions to a call to the IJir. It is intended tii.it after leav ing Cambridge Univeiiity His Royal Highness shall rtc ive a commission in the Grenadier Guards. He will pel form the ordinary duties of an oltieei, and at the Prince of Wales' request, he will be treated in exactly the same manner as any officer of his> rank. Tub incrrment of family springing within one year from a single pair of rats is wild to amount to Go.OOO ; and the fecundity of the rabbit is still more astonishing. But each of these prolific quadrupeds yields the palm to the Tmurs Jutnlut, or white ant, of which it is cal culatod eveiy specimen produces 8)i,400 eggs per day, and, continuing for a lunar month, gives the astonishing number of 2,419,200—a number far exceeding that produced by any known animal. Tiivsk are the concluding lines of an English ciiticisni on Lugo Tynell'3 comedy, "Chequ'rd Lives "—"" —" It is the mobt enjoyable treat we have had for many a day, and its author is to be congratulated on the success he has achieved in compiling a play so full of pithos and verve, to say nothing of its intrinsic dramatic constiuction. In one word, 'Chequ'id Lives' is a complete and perfect success, and we only hope that it may have a long and unchequercd cateer, as may its author, whom, by the bye, we nre informed is a Mr Inigo Tyriell, of New Zealind, and although 10,000 miles distant, we hope yet to witness another pioductiou from his pen " In* criticising the Premier, Mr It 1 Gillies, M H.P. for Hi nee, «peaking at Milton, made the following remarks.-— Mr Stout had veiy many qualities that he highly admired, and which constituted him a natural leader of men, and w ith Sir Julius Vegel at his side he would be of immense seivicc to New Zealand: but there were some things about Mr Stout which he (Mr Gillies) was bound to «;ty he did not apjuove of. First and foremost he would siy most dctidedlj that if Mi s tout was going to make u^e of Ins position as Premier to actively preach a crusade against Christianity, lie for one would not follow him. [Applause.] He would be the last man to bring religious views into politic*, and would scoin to do so ;It was w roug to do so. Every man had a light to his own belief, and to urge that belief upon his fellows in season and out of season ; but he would say that when a man was elevated by hia fellows into a position of power and honor, he should remember the lesponsibihty that was upon him, and that he had no light to take that high position ond to use it for other purposes, as had been done on one or two oe.isions since the last session of Parliament. In Dunedin Mr Stout has been intioduced as Picmier at a meeting that w as actively and aggressively antagonistic to Chiistianity. He (.Mr Gillies), for one did not hesitate to say that that was not light. [Applause.] Mr Stout has a pel feet right to Im own opinions, but as Premier he must remember the responsibilities of his position, and if he did not others would. [A Voice —" He is as sincere as you nre."] He (Mr Gillies) cast no reflection on Mr Stout's sincerity, but maintained that he had no right to use bin position to insult the feelings of the bulk of the people of the colony. He (Mr Gillies) had spoken plainly what he thought should be caul, though it inii-ht have been bettei for himself if lie had not said it. [A Voice —" I think so "] Still he said it, because he thought it to be Inn duty.

The Test of Actual Trial. This is what proves the merit of a piepaiation. The pioprietoi of Green's August Flow er.know ing its valuable, properties, meets this test boldly by pieparing sample bottles of this remedy, which aie sold nt (id. This enables doubters to tiy its \lltues at a tiifling expense. August Flower is a pinacea for Dyspepsia and all disoulers of the Liver, including ljiliousncss, indigestion, siok Headache Costiveness; See, &c Thief doics will iclicve any of the above, and a faithful use will certainly cure. No medicine in the world has ever given such proof of its merits. Diuggists recommend it with peifeet confidence and physicians picsoiibp it regulaily.
