THE extraordinary number of acquittals of per sons committed for trial in Portugal is stated by the compiler of the official statistics to "threaten the whole accial system with grave dangers The number has slightly diminished, but it still amounts to nearly 35 per cent, as against 20 per cent., 24 per cent, and 36 per cent. in the neighbouring countries of France, Italy, and Spain respectively. Among the principal rea sons of the difference are said to be the excessive severity with which the law punishes certain crimes and the leniency of juries. THE criminal statistics of the army at home for the year 1882 show that upon an average strength of some go,c > non-comissioned officers and men, representing about one-half of the army, there were 8,319 counts-martial held and 131,434 minor punishments. The number of fines for drunkenness for the most part included among the minor punishments-was 18,400 The total number of offences dealt with by the 8,319 courts martial was 11,927 There were two cases of mutiny, 1,308.of desertion, 1,639 of absence without leave, and 1,873 of making away with

A CINCINNATI newspaper is responsible for the statement that a scheme is about perfected for a transcontinental Vanderbilt railway. A road is to be built from St. Louis to San Francisco, with branches to Texas and the Indian Territory. An English auctioneer who was selling out an undertaker recommended the sale to his friends and the public "as the most unique opportunity of its kind that has ever occurred in the town of Another grievance of the night-soil securing their own coffins, and thus saving expense their original plumpness, and the leaves, at- face, two lengths, handicap: which was won in 1882, and will come forward and abscribe for

Not only were the forms of the leaves so far restored that they could be botanically identified, but the intricate venation of the flower petals could be plainly traced, the coloring of lilies, larkspurs and other flowers was displayed, and even the distinctive orders of some specimens were preserved. In general, these old leaves. and grasses were the same as of similar species to-day.
