It was when he was thirty three years of age that he first tried his hand at (1433 seientific romanoss, of which Dr. Oz. L Tour du Monde, Michel Strogoff, &c. figure sa his best works.

The English tax on coal will neither frighton the French, nor diminish their laying in of stocks of the best Weisle coal at their stations. The tax will not be a fes-kite in the national

expenditure. It remains for England to decide, will she follow the United States, Germany, Rassin and France, in bounty feeding.

The French are glad to witness that a be ginning has been made in the reopening of the Kand mines. They have a good deal of money sunk in them, and since the war, they have been obliged to go without dividends. That is all the interest they now display in Old Kruger's visions; it is part of the bill, in their abortive speculation the upholding of the little arrogant republics. England will now be the suproms power from the Zambesi to Cape Town, so out of evil comes good. The guerita tactics aro rapidly fizzling out.
