THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, IDECEMBER 14, 1888.

" IS MARRIAGE, A FÀILURË?".

The Melbourne Herald has had its soul shat.

Ladies have rushed headlong into the fray and poured their sweet convictions into Editor Winter' columna with a persistency and callousness worthy of a tax collector: soulful, sylphlike things with appealing eyes and lips of the rose-petal pattern who want to be married, and tough and leather-skinned old maids who protest they would die before linking themselves to n

The place in which the occurrence we are now investigating took place is a brick-field, the title-dreds of which stand in Mrs. Cluniş' name. Mr. Clunis by a certain agreement declared that this land was the property of himself and Captain de Richelier and should be the joint property of himself, Capt. de Richelieu and Mr. Westenholz. This took place nearly three years ago and a steps have since been taken to transfer the land to the three partners, so that it appears that the land-and fixtures thereon-horrid man," and dames who have bloomed in are still the property of Mrs. Clunis, her husband wedlock into florid maturity, and soured, 'crabbed having consequently the right to its administra. | wives who have been thrashed and starved into tion in his wife's lifetime.

And she concludes by

The prosecutor has not placed before us such evidence as would satisfy us that there was no trespass on his part. The question therefors remains of the alleged use of the knife. On this point the Prosecutor's own evidence is not clear, He states that when he came up the stairs bath the accused had knives. When howevet, he came up to accused he was sure he saw Mr. Michell's two hands bare. Then he looked down and saw Mr. Michell with his hand on knife. He saw'ne blow. Then both men fell

His Honour read over several parts of the evidence taken on the preceding days, and continuing, said:-We think that it is very much to be regretted that the accured took in this matter the action they did. It must have been apparent that such action would very probably lead to violence and any resort therefore to such action we consider to be very regrettable and unadvisable. We believe Mr. Roving acted in good faith in bringing this action, but we consider the case not proved and must therefore dismiss it.

Mr. Michell: May I ask your Honor to give some police protection to Mr. Clunis at Klong Mon, so that he may not again be molested? Judge: Yes, I will write up and ask to have the house protected.—Bangkok Times

LATE TELEGRAMS.

CAIRO, November 23rd. General Dormer is of opinion that it will be necessary to increase the Egyptian army to 16,000 men, thus enabling the Egyptian Government to capture the rebel strongholds at Suakim, crush the rehellion, advance on Dengola, and then Iranquillize the Soudan.

LONDON, November 24th. The statement made by the Times that a treaty had been concluded for a Russian protec torate over Corea is denied at St. Petersburg.

PARIS, November 24th. The animosity which exists between different political partirs in France, and especially between the Boulangists and Republicana, is becoming serious. Charges of peculation and Jobbery against certain members of the Chamber; of Depuiles are being published, and the Boultn gists and Conservatives accuse M. Floquet of meditating a coup d'état..

wives who could not only sing but also cook) there is really no reason why a man should not have seneral in order to thoroughly experience what it means to be married. He thus might have a wife to dress and a wife to kee› house, a wife for the carriage, and a wife for drawing room recep tions. Indeed there is no limit to the number. He might have a walking-costume wife, a winter costume wife, a wife for fancy dress carnivals, and a wife for the apparel of the ordinary ball. To make him perfectly happy he would require a button-sewing wife and a chop-grilling wife, one whose speciality was warming slippers and another whose strong point was the wearing of a spring-bonnet, and even then, perhaps, he would be miserable. We are told that in Heaven there is neither marriage nor giving in marriage. The cynical man will admit that that would be Heaven indeed. Sydney Bulletin.

NEW YORK'S SCOTCH QUARTER.

The Scotch residents in New York have a territory of their own. The streets of New York above Canal were laid out at right angles, with the exception of the patch of land known as Greenwich Village, wherein the streets were constructed on a diagonal basis. By reason of this there is a triangle between the point where the diagonal streets stop and the streets at sight angles begin. It is at what is called Jackson quare, a half-acre of green, having for its three- fenced sides Greenwich Avenue, Eighth Avenue and Horatio Street. Facing it is Caledonia Hall. About it are Scotch taverns, and the streets of the vicinity-Horatio, Jane, Ganie voort and West Twelfth-have a full comple ment of Scotchnien. It is so entirely out of the line of ordinary travel, so inaccessible and so remote, both from tenements and thoroughfares as to be an almost unknown locality to the great majority of New Yorkers.
