PROFESSOR HART-MILNER,

By the death of Mr. J. L. Hart-Milner, at the comparatively early age of 41 years, the Far East has lost one of its ablest men and probably the most profound scholar who first saw the light in this part of the world. Mr. Milner was born in Macao somewhere about 1847, his father being a Major in the Portuguese Army and his mother an American lady of Irish parentage. It would appear that he lost his parents when quite young; at all events at a very early age he was placed under the charge of the Jesuits, who a that time were a power in Macao. "In due cour thence went to England and entered the famou young Hart-Milner was sent to Portugal, and Jesuit college of Stonyhurst, where he pursued his studies for a period of seven years. After leaving Stonyhurst he went to the University of Louvain, in Belgium, once regarded as the most celebrated in Europe, and particularly noted as especially excelling in the department of Roman Catholic theology. Students of history will remember that this Univerity, after being sup. pressed in consequence of the French Revola tion, was restored by the Dutch Government in 1817: It was again closed in 1834, but the following year the Roman Catholicclergy restored it, at their own expense, and it is still one of the most numerously attended seminaries on the Continent. At Louvain John Hart-Milner more than fulfilled the promise of his youth, and after obtaining his degree of Doctor of Philosophy was appointed to a professorship in a Jesuit college in Portugal, from which he was transferred to the St. Francis Xavier College in Liverpool. essentially liberal instincts, but who from infancy had been under the domination of the Jesuits, began to expand; the keen intellect and observing eye could not fail to appreciate England, unfettered by the obsolete and useless the difference between free and progressive dogmas of the religion of a bye-gone age, and Portugal, sinking to irremediable decay under the bondage of a priestly rule that made the

an acquaintance with English customs and Hart-Milner was an Englishman at heart, and English methods of thought quickly brought about the crisis in his life; he kicked agains! the mummeries attached to the faith in which he had been brought up, and the result was a bitter quarrel with the Jesuits and a total separation, not to say a never-ending hostility, which ceased only with his life.

by the reluctant admissions of the Government to have been nothing more nor less than spies and informers in the regular pay of the police. They had appeared among the alleged culprits in the prisoners' dock for mere form's sake, but greatly to their disgust the jury took them at their word and pronounced them, and them alone, guilty.

During the course of the trial it was definitely demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Court that, not content with their ignominious role of infarmers, the three men, whore, names are Pourbaix, Lalo!, and, Ranseite, were the actual originators of the conspiracy, the leading spirits of the entire socialist movement, and as one of the local papers here very cleverly put it "the engineers of the sedition," The climax was finally reached when the astounding fact was brought to light during the trial that the three "agents provocateura in question had acted throughout the entire case under the immedi ate orders and instructions of the Premier, M. Becranert,, and of the Minister of the Jnterior, M. Devolder, the former of whom had actually corected in his own hand- writing the draft of the very revolutionary manifesto which figured so prominently in the indictments. The manifesto was couched in the most violent language; it called on the people to rise and to march on Brussels, and was filled with the most outrageous inguts against the King and the royal family.

As American critic remarks that "divided skirts come pretty near being Chinese trousers, and the announcement that they are to be adopted by the United Protective Association of Ballet Gils falls with a dull thud upon the hearts of the thin-roofed patrons of the orchestra chairs," We really wonder if this "Johnny" ever saw a suitably ornamented.

We next find Milner as a Professor in a Lisbon college, and it was about this time that he published his "Analytical Philosophy," one of the ablest works on the subject in existence. He was also a constant contributor to the Lisbon and Belgian radical newspapers, writing with French and English. His progressive idens constantly kept him in hot water in the Portuguese capital, and somewhere about 1876, he returned to Liverpool and accepted an appointment in a leading commercial firm in that city. It was about this time that he entered the ranks of the Benedicts.

FROM the Sydney Bulletin The language recently used by Miss Ahern of Sandhurst (Vic) towards Mrs. Cundill, of the same city, and the expressions have back by Mrs. Cundill at the head of Miss Ahern, have caused a sctious breach between these two ladies, and they have now a mufled tendency to throw dirty water over each other and to shy bones and scrapings into each other's yards, which prevents the white-winged bird of peace roosting where that gladsome low! used to roost of old. Miss Abern is the daughter of a milkman, and ake made a white dress for Mrs. Cundill which that lady is alleged to have worn for some time at least she wore the skirt of it with another "body." Later on she got Miss Ahem to make some alterations in the dress, and about this time a coolnets supervened.

Finally, Mrs. Cundill came and premises, and Miss Ahern dashed it back again. Mrs. Cundill found it lying in the mud-beap in her back yard and shot it on to the Ahern free-

They brought it in, a woefully unsavoury clout make even the scaly crocodile hold his nose with his tail and his hind leg, and Bopped it down be lore the throne. Then the two ladies began to take oath, Mist Ahern said the old mashed garment fitted Mrs. Cundill to perfection, and Mrs. Candill testified that the incarnate,stench with buttons on it now before the court had been cut to fit Miss Ahem herself, and was no good to anybody else. Just here the bench ruled that Miss Ahern must put it on to settle the point, and that lady, with a great shudder, crawled into it with her own dress underneath, art panted andibly under effect that Miss Ahern must first take off her the strain. The bench ruled some more to the
