THE celebrated violinist Remenyi defines genius as "the power a man has to kindle his own fire." An American contemporary observes that if this definition may be accepted as correct, it is on a apid winter morning that a married man is most willing to acknowledge his lack of genius.

This term, like many others, bears a different interpretation in these days to that formerly given to it. To speak now of a man as "an adventurer" is almost to describe him as a chevalier d'industrie. The name bore a difer- SCENE-A Police Court.

THE BURNS ANNIVERSARY.
(BY OUR OWN ST. ANDREW) The members of the St. Andrew's, Society celebrated the anniversary of Scotland's greatest poet, Robert Burns, in the St. Andrew's Hall last night in right royal style. The attendance was hardly so numerous as might have been expected, still some 35 enthusiastic sons of "the land of the mountain and the flood" sat down to a well arranged cold collation under the pre- sidency of the lion. P. Rysic, who honored the occasion by appearing in the garb of Old Gaul." After justice had been done to the good things provided, the board was cleared, and song, tonst and sentiment, all of a thoroughly patriotic and national character, became the onder of the
evening. The worthy President was in grand form, and he was admirably supported by several other distinguished "cronies o' mine" who are always "proud to own that they are Scotchmen born." As a matter of course there was any
amount of capital whiskey, a well known judge and compounder of the national beverage having specially laid himself out to produce nothing but the real Mackay," and judging by the manner in which the flowing bowl was patronised by the thirsty souls; it is only fair to conclude that the Glenlivat was of prime quality, and most agree- able to the palate.

We learn that the woman who murdered her husband in such a brutal manner last month in Amoy, committed suicide by hanging herself on the 17th instant.

On the morning of the 17th she went to the W. C. and during the tem porary absence of her warder, she tore up her cloth ing in strips and made one end fast to a beam that went across the W.

MATRIMONIAL STORIES.
At a recent fashionable wedding, after the de. parture of the happy pair, a dear little girl, whose papa and mamma were among the guests, asked, with a child's innocent inquisitiveness: Why do they throw things at the pretty lady in the carriage?" "For luck dear," replied one of the bridesmaids. "And why," again asked the child, doesn't she throw them back ?" "Oh," said the young lady, "that would be rude." "No, it wouldn't persisted the dear little thing, to the delight of her dating parents who stood by; "ma does."
