In two infected villages, there is not a single living soul, all liaving succumbed to the scourgo, ROYALISM IN PORTUGAL DEAD.

Mr. W. Archer, in the "Fort- nightly Review," is very sauguine about the Portuguese revolution. Royalism, he says, is doud; and the Church has died with it. In Spain people still go to church- In Portugal you havo to whistle for sucristans to open the char ches; or if you chance upon an hour of worship, you find à priest saying mass before a congrega- tion of three old women. From all that I have scon, heard, and read, Fam inclined to think that the Provisional Government are; | in fact, men of high and unselfish purpose, determined to justify their national prido by slowing that Portugal is capable of moral and materiul regeneration.

THE AGE Of New UNIVERSITIES.

Not since the monastic revival- of the twelfth century, or tho 'scholastie żęvolution 'of the siİX- teenth, has England known an educational movement so rich in romance, in courage, in devotion, and in. promise. The dreamor has dreamed, the founder his given land and gold, the public have subscribed, civic pride hus been stirred, and the cry mid nend for knowledge havo justified them all.-"Edinburgh Reviøw." SHOULD CHINA GOVERN TIBET ?

The "Quarterly Review" ovid-" ently thinks that it would be for our interest that she should.

"Through the ro-enforcement of China's authority over Tibot we have a responsible Power to deal with, and we shall forego our rights if we do not press for the observance of the Conventions, and for facilities for intercourso nud trade. What' is wanted in Lisa is a sottled Goverment, not hostile to Great Britain. 1 is more easy in some ways to bring pressure to hear at Peking than at Lhasa; and a Government with which we have liúd trade: relations of growing importance for

over seventy years may bo moro willing to place our commercial connections with Tibot on a satisfactory. footing than was the benighted móukishi camarilla which now seeins to be approaching its end.'

DID IT COME OFF?. In the course of a day's work the average journalist comes across mucli tragedy and comedy, but rarely does he chance upon documents so prognant with fool- ing as the one set out below. It was found in one of the principal hotels in the Colony. Though lacking in punctuation, tho spirit of the thing is there, and we make no apology for inserting the interesting screed, for, as the poot puts it, "one touch of nature makes the whole world kiu.”

The following is the lover's ardent opistle-
