LIQUID FUEL AT SHANGHAI.

The arrival of the steamer Trigonia with a cargo of petroleum fuel will probably prove of the utmost importance to this already snake- laden city, saya the W. C. Daily News. This fuel has been tried here with great success already; when its benefits are more fully appreciated there will be doubtless an enor mous demand for it. Its principal marit-is that, cansussed, it is smokeless; that weight properly o prop for weight it is about the same price as the best Japanese coal at present prices and gives two-thirds more heat. Its other advantages are that it is more easily handled, requires fewer hands at the furnaces, and leaves nor

The Magistrate (to prisoner): You ought to be ashamed of yourself stealing another man's wife (laughter.)

The prosecutor, recalled, said that before he purchased the girl he used to go to the theatre very of often, but after his prize had been won he did not visit that place of entertainment.
