It is not generally known that panel fishing is carried on in the rivers of Saxony. A family by the name of Selarlor Las for genertinas bad the monopoly of following this pursuit for the} borofit of the State. The Weisse Elator and its tributaries furnished last year one hundred pearls. Formerly the yield was much greater, and in the sixteenth century pearl fiabing was ⚫nsidered in Saxony of rather mors importance than the mining industry.
The Manchester Guardian's correspondent says:-I told you the other day the opinion of the Duo d'Aumale that General Boulanger had the will to oraouto a coup d'etal, but that owing to the fact that he is a soldier only he had not sho power. £ learned the other day from a foreigu member of the house of Rothsshild that
