the case of Thurgood. Eisenhofer, which strict the other week in London, the young man appears to have possessed, as do most of his agreeable countrymer, a vast amount of wondly prudence; and, finding that his fiance, though occupying the highly respectable position of a nurse, was hardly fitted for the exalted station of a schoolmaster's consort, decided to throw her over. But, in onler to do this effectually, be

· adopted the singular expedient of making his new love write to the old one to break off the match. This proceeding naturally-abled fresh fuel to the discarded one's wrath, and a recourse to the law courts ensued, which has resulted in the faithless swain, who is now established in a school of his own at Brighton, being; cumpelled to pay 80% in nine instalments extending over three years. R is to be hoped that by aid of the energetic person who is now his helpante, the fickle Teulou may succeed in paying off one who will no doubt be a ruthless creditor, for no hate is so bitter as that which comes from love scorned.

engagement, the evening performance commen- cing at seven o'clock, could not be got out of the performers, the enterprising manager thought he would "squeeze two hours out of them in the morning before they had finally escaped from his control. With this intent, he quietly, without consulting the performers, but counting upon their compliance; advertised a morning per- formance from seven till nine o'clock. crawled house rewarded (?) the covetous one's Mexican "piling" propensities, but no performers appeared, and they absolutely declined to go be- yond their engagement when appealed to. The disappointed theatre goers stuck patiently to their places until eight o'clock, when, no longer able to stand the cruel "Sell," they gave free play to their lungs in vociferous shouting, howling and hooting,, which the occupants of the galleries agreeably interspersed with some harmless amusement in the way of pulling up scats and partitions and finging them about in

numerous native occiputs in the pit below. The Manager, thinking it well that a stop should be put to such ride horse-play, invoked the aid of the Police, who arrived quickly on the scene. The audience, naturally irritated at the imposition practised upon them, and at being deprived of the enjoyment of the lightly classical per- formance promised them, refused to be appeased. However, after some polaver, a compromise suggested by the police was arrived at, namely, the disappointed audience to be reimbursed the nds they had expended in order to gratify their Trionic tastes. This the manager was com- pelled to accede to, but, after he had squared all those who presented themselves, he found him- self, we hear, minus some twenty or thirty Mexi- cans by the transaction, some cunning ones who had not been in the theatre at all, having, in the confusion, claimed with those who had. The manager of the Ko-shing Theatre has thus, in his own enterprising person, furnished another illus tration of the ancient fable as to those who try to grasp too much losing all-and a little more to boot.

variety of opinion as to the value and benefit of those changes. There are a certain number of pessimists and a certain number of optimists. Some say the army is going to the devil, and that all recent changes are destroying its reputation and its worth. On the other hand, there are men who believe that change in military organisation is absolutely necessary if an army is to be kept au niveau with what is going on in the world, and worthy of the nation to which it belongs. Now, it is generally ima- gined that I have something to do with many of the changes which have recently taken place; therefore it would be valuceless for me to express any opinion upon them, because I could not pos- sibly and fault with them, and if I praised them it would be a doctor praising his own pills. There fore I think the less I say about them the better. But among those changes I think one of the most important has been the change with reference to the militia, which is now part and parcel of Her Majesty's regular forces.
