„” MADAME PATTI'S, WEDDING"
LONDON, January 26th.
The natives showed extreme enthusiasm at garlanded, and Major Brecon and officials re Madame Patti's wedding. The streets were: ceived the couple in civic state, and escorted them to the Roman Catholic Chapel, where Sir Faudel Phillips gave the bride away. The ceremony of Mass was omitted in deference to the bridegroom's Lutheran susceptibilities. The party breakfasted in the train, en route to Paddington, and leave to-morrow for the South of France,

THE SAGHALIEN CONVE
CONVICTA. State Councillor Salomon, Chief Inspector of Russian Prisons, who has just returned from An official visit to Saglialien, describes the general condition of the convicts there as being Incomparably worse than that existing in the very worst of the prisons in any other part of European or Asintic Russia," M. Salomon further expresses the opinion that the 28,000,- "oon roubles apportioned to Saghalien have either never reached the island or, if so, have been illegitimately applied. This is a very strong indictment to be contained in an official report, and it is not less surprising that it should have found publicity in the columns of the Novosti and Far Eastern Reviewe, the fatter published at Wladivostock. M. Salomon condemns without any kind of qualification the fruitless attempt to organise agricultural colonies in Saghallen out of convicts, time- served prisoners, and the drifting, vagabonds of the penal island. The ultimate result of this report will probably be that all further deportation of convicts to the Far East will cense, and in the near future the island of Saghallen, lying close to the Japanese main- land, will be turned to another purpose, and to more or less politically serviceabe to Russia Ear Eastern 'expansion.

A SARAWAK QUEER STORY,
WITH CERTAIN REFLECTIONS BY THE LATE LORD LYTTON.
· L'Independene Tonkinoise M. Hugues de Roux tells, apropos of the curiously mpid and mysterious transmission of ideas and news amongst Orienta! races, the following anecdote: "I am reminded of a curious story that Lord Lytton told me a few months before his death. It was about the end of July, 1892, Some business affairs had called me to Paris, above all the desire of greeting a person for whom Lord Lytton also had a personal liking, Her Highness the Ranee of Sarawak, After dinner, at which all three of us assisted, Lord Lytton did not feel quite well. He was already tor- tured by those heart irregularities which his taste for opium aggravated, and which caused his premature death.
I proposed to the English Ambassador to see him home. We went down the Champs Elysées together. The freshness of the even
made him feel easier. He recommenced to talk with that poetic freedom, sustained by a certain degree of exaltation, which gave to his conver
