LEEDS has been seriously exercised lately upon the question of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, and a meeting in favour of altering the present law was recently held in the Mayor's parlour. After much talk the good people of the great Yerkshire centre, who seem to be pretty unanimous in their desire to marry their wives' sisters, passed a resolution to establish a local branch of the association for the repeal of the act. There were but two dissentients at the meeting. One of these, Canon Temple, made a long speech, in which he said that he had made a special study of the question, and objected to any change on the grounds of season, scripture, and expediemy. The worthy cleric omitted to say whether he had studied the matter out by the light of common sense! That is the medium

Upon its return to India, it became the 2nd battery, 22nd brigade.

Hosukosu, Tuesday, May 16, 1882.

Is Europe, accidents involving personal injuries attributable to culpable negligencc on the part of the owners or servants of railway or steamer companies, are now happily very rare. That this is so. is owing in a great measure to the liberal and substantial damages awarded by juries in all cases where personal injury has been proved to have resulted from negligence.

SOME observations recently made by General Skobeleff at St. Petersburg possess special in terest for Englishmen. He expressed a great admiration for General Roberts, whom he ranked higher than Sir Garnet Wolseley, although he shares the views of the latter concerning the ad- vantages of short service. He praised "the splendid march" from Cabul to Candahar, and declared General Roberts appeared to possess all the qualities of a great general. But, said he, "I prefer young soldiers to fight with. We

three years at the outside is quite sufficient to fit them for war." Another interesting remark of Skobeleff's should increase the number of those whose names may be expected to appear on the enver of next month's Nineteenth Century as protesting against the Channel Tunnel. "If were an Englishman," said Skobeleff, "I do not think I should like to see the tunnel constructed. The possibility of 2,000 or 3,859 of the enemy treacherously scizing the English end deserves to be seriously considered." As even without the tunnel Skobeleff thinks we need to adopt the conscription-for he naturally ridiculed the idea that the sepoys constitute an available reserve of strength for use in a serious emergency-his re- mark will tend to swell the growing volume of opposition in the creation of an underground

SOME person has been writing to the China Mail asking the accomplished Editor of that effete print to distinguish between the aloe and the cactus, as he (the person) has a strong sus picion they are frequently confounded. The Editor modestly confesses that his "Botany" is rather rusty, but if he recollects aright the com- mon species of the agave or American aloe- a genus of the order Amaryllidaceæ-will be found in many places in Hongkong-one notable instance on the Shaw-ki-wan Road, and others in the Gardens. The "recollection" of the Editor of the China Mail was a reference to Chambers's Encyclopædia. Our "Botanical Special" observes, that the Editor of the Mail's pretensions to know the difference between the

The Rev. Peter McPhilpin, E.C., of Athenry, co Galway, appeared at the Petty Sessions, on April 4 to answer a suminons charging him with having on March 5, in the Roman Catholic Chapel at Athenry, endeavoured to stir up hatred and ill-will against the Royal Irish Constabulary. The information on which the summons was issted contained the following :-* Immediately after eleven o'clock mass in Athenry Chapel on Sunday, March 5, the Rev. Peter Mclbilpin, who officiated, told the congregation not to leave, as he had something to say to them as regards the peace of the district. The reverend gentleman then entered the vestry, and after unrobing re- turned to the altar and addressed the people for about half an hour. He went on to say that he did not wish to speak during mass, as what he had to say would be hard on some persons pre- sent, and perhaps cause a scene in the chapel, so

On that morning the police entered his rooms and committed a sacrilegious outrage. He would not say they took anything with them, as he could not prove it. The police said they could not find him that momning, though when he was going to the chapel at half-past eight o'clock he met a band of those armed villains, so- that they knew well where he was; but they did not want him.
