THE HARBOUR COLLISION. The circumstances of the collision between the steamers Glingyle and Honchry in the harbour on Thursday are not exactly known you
There will, of course,' be an enquiry into the accident. The former vessel is stated to have been coming in from the South towards a buoy, when the latter boat crossed her bows, and the "Glen" boat struck the other. The Glengyle is due to leave on Tuesday for the North, and will do so if not detained for the enquiry. Her injuries are trifling.

Adelightful story is told ofasports- man,presumably of American extrac tion, who was boasting of the intel- ligence of his dog. "Would you believe it?" he said, "When I was walking into the city he suddenly stopped and pointed at a man by a bookstall and nothing I could do would induce. the dog to move. So I went up to the man and said,Would your oblige ine with your name?' Certainly, said the stranger, my name is Partridge. Augustus are could scarcely parallel this tate.

Speaker Dowling, of the This Artificial Minnesota Legislattire, says Ago. in exchange, weare artificial legs, one artificial hand, and has no fingers on the remaining hand, his condition being the result of injuries received in a blizzard. His favourite song would naturally be: "flere a sheer hulk lies poor Tom Dowling" Speaker Dowling is pretty certain not to be a bachelor. We remember one enterprising gentleman with a cork leg who achieved matrimony three times, with a resultant considerable family. Yet Dowling's advantages were obviously of a superior character. But Mrs. D., when connubial differences arise, will have a better weapon in her armoury than the mere tyranny of Lears."

An Australian contemporary Dog fish publishes the following -A fish Story. ing story has been sent me by a friend at Condobolin, which, like all fishing stories, is stamped with the hallmark of truth. Two young men, who had several times fished unsuccessfully in a deep, clear waterhole on the Lachlan River, in which they could see plenty of fish, determined to try a little dynamite amongst them. Accordingly they filled a small bottle with the explosive, and putting a fuse through the cork lighted and threw it in, forgetting, however, to attach a weight to the botile to sink it. Their dog, naturally coming of the latelligent conclusion that this was for him to fetch out, plunged in, seized it, and made for the bank. As the fuse was slowly but surely burning down, thescared fishermen took to their heels and ran as they never ran before, shouting to the dog to drop The faster they ran, the quicker the raith- ful and affectionate animal followed, and he was gaining on them at every stride until the explosion took place. Then there was no more dog, only two exhausted and terrified anglers sitting on the ground, frightened out of their wits, with a little gained experience.

One of the returned Canadian Ho Navor volunteers from South Africa tells Missed a strange story of the vengeance of his Aim. a wealthy Boer who had been ruined in estate and rendered des- perate by the death of his two sons-his only children-who were slain in battle early in the They were big manly fellows, and campaign. the pride of their parents. The father-Van Bosboom-was, prior to the war, the owner of a valuable gold mind and bad by him a good supply of the precious metal. When the news of his sons' death reached him, he shouldered his riße, which he called Lobengula," and started out to join the Boer army; bis soulthirst ing for revenge. In a mold which bore his own initials he cast a number of golden bullets and carried them in his cartridge belt. Van Bos- boom is 55 years of age, and a noted rifle shot and sharpshooter, having never been known to miss his gim. How deadly was his venge ance is vouched for by Real Huot, the returned Canadian volunteer, who reports thal whenever the British ambulance corps carried their dead and wounded off the fields of battle upon which Van Bosboont had fought they invariably found a number of officers and men, the former especially, who had been shot in the middle of the forehead, and aben the surgeons extracted the bullets they were found to be of gold and to bear the initials of the name of the avenging, father.
It is further, said that one man, who was continually being shot in the legs, has now a snug little sum in the 3 per cents, and calls it his Boer legacy.

CAN WE RAISE RICE FOR JAPAN ?
Too many persons are apt to assume, says the American-China News (NY), that it is utely hopeless to attempt to compete in this country with the underpaid labor of foreign countries. It is well, therefore, to have this deusion dispelled by as careful an observer as D: E. Murray-Aaron, who has taken as an example the labor of the Orient, the most poorly paid labor in the world, and shown that it is much more expensive than the well-paid labor of the United States,
hway he assumed that the Japanese agri. culorist ought to know all about growing rice advantageously, and yet this authority de inenstrates that the rice growers of the Southern States, paying 15 times the wages, can produce rice at less than one-tenths, the cost per acre of that the Japanese Taborer, with his primitive raising an acre of rice in the Orient. It appears
methods and implements, takes care of but one ace of rice a year, whereas one laborer in the South, with improved machinery, cultivates 80 aces and raises more per acre than bis miser- aby paid Oriental competitor, if it is fair to call them competitors at all.
The significance of this is that the United States will some day, and perhaps before long, stop importing rice altogether. Rice can be produced in ten States in the South, and there are Bow over 170,000 acres in the South de vond to the cultivation of this crop, with vast areas which may be turned to the same use.
Ifa Pennsylvania finn can manufacture jin. rickshaws for the Japanese market, as a Penn. sytania firm of carriage makers is doing, there is nothing unreasonable in the assumption that the Stuthern States may some day sell their rice to Japan.

An inquiry before a magistrate was still pro When certain medical evidence was called in, the magistrate excluded all reporters. This has arossed unfavourable comment. in the Colombo Pret. It is contended that, so far as is known, there was nothing in the medical evidence that called for such a step. The right of the magis trate to exclude reporters is adinitted, but it is urged that the exercise of his right in this instance was uncalled for in the public interest. The magistrate declared that he would con- tinue to exclude reporters until the close of the cast The Times of Ceylon thus comments upon the matter:-

RUSSIAN AGGRESSION:
The establishment of a Russian government with a commanding naval base in Northern China will, says the Saturday Review, inevi tably give a fresh importance to her position and arns in Persia. In the Northern Pacific she has reached the open sea, and is well on her way to absorb the Hinterland. The full exploitation of these remote eastern provinces. cannot be sufficiently secured by the long land lines through the inclement regions of Northern Asia. The next step must be in develup a sca borne trade and protect it by a strong naval squadron. Once firmly established at the eastern extremity, Russia will next require a position nearer home which will shorten the long sex journey, or at least protect the route which her ships must follow between the Black and Yellow Seas. Such a position is to be found in the Persian Gulf and nowhere else... This is her natural outlet to the Indian Ocean: she will now seek to secure it. It is no new idea. Towards this end the policy of Russia; has been working not for years or de cades but for centuries. The so called will, of Peter the Great expresses it succinctly. "Lose no opportunity to provoke war with Persia: hasten her decay; penetrate to the Persian Gulf; reestablish the ancient trade of the Levant, and advance upon India." The founder of modern Russia Iooked no further than the Indies, but the horizon has since extended. With that steady, relentless determination which has terrified the nations of Asia, this policy has been pursued through difficulty, opposition, and obstruction till the and is now in sight. In the last quarter of the century the progress has been literally at rail- road speed. The conversion of the Caspian into a Russian lake, and the subjugation of Central Asia, have laid Persia open all along her north- ern frontier. The Trans-Caspiais railway has sons along the line from Kizil Arvant to Khushk Cast its arms about her borders, and the garri stand ready to replace diplomatic dominance by military nccupation whenever the occasion arises. That the cccasion will arise witnever Russia requires, it is not a prophecy but a commonplace. Everything has been carefull prepared Russian trade, sedulously fostered, has surveyed and opened the roads of advance, and fucnished at each step reason or a pretext for fresh interference. Russian officers com- mand the most disciplined portion of the Persian army, and Russian diplomacy, backed by ir resistible force, has transcended, it might af most be said has excluded, all other influence in the Persian Couri.
ITALY.
For some time past Italy has been a prey to a curious malady. The words of Lamartine, la France s'ennuie, would describe the state of the peninsula almost exactly, had not the crime of last summer suddenly come to darken with a strange tinge of melancholy this tired, listless anxiety. Many hoped this thunder-clap would at least have the effect of clearing the try of Cavour and Garibaldi from her attack of air, awakening good-will, and rousing the coun- nerves. These illusions have been dispelled.
