Summary of Passing Events. -+- THIS summer we have had, like tropical countries, a "rainy season," and it has proved very trying alike to the army corps of the regulars engaged in the annual military manoeu- vres, and to the volunteers holding their shooting meeting at Wimbledon-common. The former were compelled to suspend operations altogether, owing to the dreadful state of the ground which brought about the death of several horses, and caused others to show signs of dis- tress. The volunteers, notwithstanding the incessant rain which converted the camp into a quagmire, went on spiritedly with the competi- tions for the various prizes just as if the weather had been the best imaginable. The marksmen showed no signs of squeamishness in squatting down in dirty puddles when the turn of each came to face the target; but the effects of this rough work soon compelled a change of tactics, and the volunteers went to the shooting with shoes and stockings off, and trousers tucked up to the knee. Members of the London Scottish, and of other corps wearing the Highland dress, possessed an advantage in having no pantaloons to be destroyed. In camp it was facetiously oberved that the question was, not whether the men could stand fire," but whether they could "stand water." And stand it they did with a pluck and endurance which redounds to their credit. The circumstance that, although this has been the worst season, as regards weather, since the first meeting of the Na- tional Rifle Association was held at Wim- bledon, the shooting has been the best ever witnessed on the Common may be regarded as an unmistakable indication that the hearts of the riflemen are in their work, and that they are de- termined to make themselves crack shots. On Sunday—a warm and really fine day lying between the wet blankets of Saturday and Monday—there was divine service in the ominously-named Um- brella Tent, ani the usual church parade took place on the occasion. Every volunteer, accord- ing to the regulations, should have appeared in uniform; but the law was not too'strictly enforced, for the very good reason that, after the dirty weather of the foregoing week, many of the volunteers bad no uniform they could wear. The American team ha76 made their visit to Wimble- don under disadvantageous circumstances; but they too have shown that, in spite of adverse influences, they can display their consummate skill as marksmen.

"THE Cry of the Children" was the title of a very striking and powerful poem by Mrs. Eliza- beth Barrett Browning, which had special refer- ence to children who were subjected to harsh treatment, or who were sent too soon to work in factories. Many years have elapsed since the poem was written-it is almost as old as Hood's Song of the Shirt;" and yet the cry of crue ly- treated children, as we may gather from numerous cases at assizes and in police- courts, still continues to rise to heaven, though perhaps in smaller volume than in former years. One shocking form of heartless cruelty has found prominence of late in the cases of parents who are in the habit of locking up two or three children of the tenderest years in an apartment while they go out to drink, to visit places of amusement, or to carry on their avocations. At Lambeth, in London, the other day, a thoughtless mother, who had made up her mind to visit either the Alexandra or Crystal Palaces, left two very young children locked up by themselves in a room; and when the wretched woman returned there was nothing for her to look upon but their charred corpses. In her absence a fire bad broken oat in the room -it is supposed from the gross carelessness of a box of matches being left in the room where the children were imprisoned — and before the flames could be extinguished the poor things were burned to death. A companion case has just come before the Birmingham Police-court. A bellows-maker and his wife (the step-mother of the little ones) were charged with treating two children, aged respectively two and four years, in a most unnatural and cruel manner. They were in the habit, besides beating the children frequently, of going out and leaving them to the mercy of anyone, not for one day only, but for several days together. They attended fairs and ietes with b a punching- machine, and cared so little what became of the children that they would have died of sheer starvation if the neighbours, knowing they were deserted, had not kindly given them food. It was stated in court that the four-year-old child was made to get up on Sunday mornings, and clean the floor of the kitchen, while the prisoner and his wife remained in bed, and they were in the habit of cruelly treating it if it refused to do the work. The step-mother escaped without any punishment, and the inhuman lather got off much too lightly by being fined 20s., or one month's imprisonment in default. The desertion for hours or days of children of tender years, or their cruel treatment, should be placed in the same category as wife-beating, which is now being more severely punished in the criminal courts.

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND INFANT INSURANCE. Valuable testimony has just been given in favour of the Friendly Societies' Bill, which may now be considered as virtually adopted by the Legislature. This testimony was given by the largest friendly Society in the United Kingdom, the Royal Liver, whose head-quarters are in Liverpool, and whose agen- cies exist in almost every town in England, Ireland, and Scotland. It has just completed its quarter of a century, and a proof of its wonderful growth is afforded in the fact that, while it was scarcely known a dozen years ago, it now numbers over 600,000 member?, and has an accumulated capital of nearly half-a-million. During the last year it paid away no less than .6100,604 in death claims and grants. The receipts represented a total of .£219,747, and the savings close upon .£40,000, while the accumulated capital amounts to £ 417,000. These facts are eloquent proofs of successful management. The society is now ac- cepted as the representative institution of its kind one cf its managers was selected to preside over the deliberations of the National Congress appointed to watch the progress of Sir Stafford Northcote's bill, and so ably did they perform their duties that the bill had to be amended no less than six times. The gentleman in question is Mr. Henry Liversage, the vice chairman of the Royal Liver, who was prevented last week making an important statement relative to the operations of the Congress by the death of his wife—a bereavement which will ensure for Mr. Liversage a wide spread sympathy among the officers of all industrial institutions. In his absence, however, the task fell upon another gentleman of vast and general expe- rience in friendly society matters, Mr. James Ather- ton. The National Congress of Friendly Societies was appointed some 18 months ago; it comprised the representatives of two-and-a-half millions of people directly or indirectly interested in such institutions; and the strongest proof of the importance which the Legislature placed upon their deliberations is afforded in the fact that most if not all the amend- ments proposed by it were favourably received by the Government- For the most part (says the Liverpool Daily Couiitr) they were such as less scrupulous persons would not have voluntarily im- posed upon themselves, inasmuch as they increased the managerial risks and responsibilities. The Con- gress insisted upon having thorough and complete audits, and searching valuations of friendly societies' affairs made every five years without Government interference, and a rigid prohibition of the practice hitherto adopted by collectors of transferring mem- bers from one society to another, or of allowing them to lapse out of benefit. The Congress made it manifest that it sought greater protection for the funds of the people, and desire i to make the government of such bodies as perfect as possible. It was signally successful in removing a terrible slur which it was sought to cast upon the working classes, and a serious imputation upon these societies —the one of destroying children for the sake of obtaining insurance money, and the other of making cold-blooded calculations for the purpose of vittually encouraging child-murder. This was a question in which the Royal Liver was much concerned, having a larger number of children insured than any other society. The Commissioners expressed the opinion that there was a higher rate of iportality amopg children under three years of age who. were insured than among the general population, and as proof of their assertion made special reference to partienlar towns. The society therefore went to the trotible of testing its experience in the localities mentioned, and tie resalt showed most conclusively that the suspicions of the Commissioners were unfounded. The clause introduced in the first bill, pro- hibiting the insurance of children's lives, was with- drawn, and the law now stands exactly as it did in 1851, and any working-man can, by the payment of a very small weekly sum, obtain from a burial society £ 5 with which decently to inter his child who dies before reaching its fifth year, and X10 should it live to twice that age. The Royal Liver Society, like some other of the large societies, has striven hard to inspire public confidence, and now reaps the fruit of its labours."

PAINFUL SCENE IN A COURT.-A very painful scene was witnessed in the Sixth District Court of California when Mr. Jones was arguing for the State against Rudolf, charged with the crime of murder. The mother of Rudolf was present with a number of relatives and friends, and became so excited at the severe language of the District Attorney that she could not contain herself. Springing from her seat, Mrs. Rudolf cried, "Oh, Mr. Jones! oh, Mr. Jones! don't talk in that way For God's sake have mercy on my poor boy my poor boy For God's sake be merciful and fell back insensible into the arms of a friend. Everyone was greatly affected by this sad scene. After the poor lady was removed Mr. Jones hoped that she would be kept out of court, for the prosecution of such a case was always painful, but it was necessary for him to perform his duty under the law.

j THE CONFESSIONS. BY A VAGRANT. j The Charity Organisation Society's Reporter prints the following letter, which may be considered as a continuation of one from the same writer, which has already appeared in print: Sherborne Union Work- house, April 19, 1875.-Honoured Sir,—I duly received your note of the 15th inst., to which I now reply. I commence with the quack doctors. In the first place, I must tell you that I never engaged in the dirty business on my own account. I have been a tool in the hands of others. The first time it was in Yarmouth. A quack who was lodging at the same 'ken" with me asked me if I was willing to earn a couple of shillings easily. I replied in the affirmative. This was to come into the market-place in the afternoon, while he himself was expiating on the virtues of his infallible medicines, and purchase half-a- dozen boxes of the pills, saying that my- self and others had derived immense benefit from their use, and that, for the future, I was resolved never to be without them, the money to pay for them having been given me beforehand by the 'doctor' (save the mark). Well, I carried out my instructions to the letter, and so well pleased the modern ZEsculapius, that in the evening he em- ployed me to work for him at a salary of .£1 per week, besides travelling expenses. I was now to be initiated in the sublime mystery of compounding the medicines,' almost invariably pills.' My duty was to collect the ingredients, and I now solemnly de- clare that I got them ready made from the sheepfold or the rabbit warren. Those from the sheepfold had to be considerably reduce d in size, after which they were coated with finely pulverised sugar and flour, and, after being dried to a proper consistency, were placed in pill-boxes, which are easily obtained, and then held forth to the dolts .who were silly enough to listen to him as American sugar. coated pills, purely vegetable, and warranted not to contiain one particle of mercury, coloeynth, or other deleterious poison, so extensively used by regular doctors. These pills are a sovereign remedy for bilious disorders, liver complaints, dyspepsia, or in. digestion, the symptoms of which are learnedly described by the oratcr' (which was generally my. self), learnt by heart from the medical work by Dr. Buchanan. When we were travelling in country villages there was no ill which flesh is heir to' but my master-blatant ignoramus as he was-would not undertake to cure-worms, piles, tusky or itch, gout, rheumatism, ulcers, fits, &c. but the naked iruth is, that he was a greater fool than I. He could not read a paragraph in a newspaper, and could scarcely write his own name. He knew no more about the maladies he professed to cure than a hog; but he possessed in an emi- nent degree that grand indispensable quali- fication-any amount of cheek, and his takings on an average were £ 10 a week. I travelled with this man for about four months, chiefly in the Eastern Counties, when I expressed a desire to leave him, when he immediately offered to raise my wages by giving me 25s. a week, but I would not accept it and left him. I have travelled with three others, all of the same kidney, since that time. Suffice:It to say that a set of more unprincipled, ignorant rascals never disgraced earth. Perhaps, sir, you may think that by turning Queen's evidence' I am worse than the ones I impeach; but I don't wish to exonerate my- self, for I confess that I am about the most worth. less of beings. But the truth ought to be known. Poor people ought not to be systematically robbed by quack doctors or any other description of rogues rascals, and liars are the whole fraternity, myself included. Yours unworthily, G. A. BRINE. P S.— I was born October 29, 1812."

DEATH OF LA.DY FRANKLIN. After a lifetime extended far beyond the allotted span, the widow of Sir John Franklin, the renowned Arctic seaman and explorer, died on Sunday even. ing at nine o'clock, at her house in Phillimore gardens, Londc.s. Remarkable as her life has been in many respects, she is chiefly known as having taken a prominent and distinguished part in the cause of Arctic dis- covery. A generation has elapsed since her gallant husband, with a small band, the flower of the British navy, under his command, sailed as the leader of a great expedition, sent to accomplish the North- West Passage, and in the cause of science to explore the unknown regions of the Pole. From that expedition no man has ever returned, but, through the long years which have followed, the widow's life has been one unceasing effort to solve the mystery of their fate, and to bring to light the details of their deeds and their sufferings. When the first of these objects had been accomplished by the little vessel fitted out expressly by herself, she clung with equal tenacity to the last. Latterly, under increasing illness, her interest was chiefly absorbed in the equipment of the Pandora yacht, belonging to her friend, Mr. Allen Young, whose resolve to recover any remaining records of Franklin and his companions gave her a hope of realising the one yet unfulfilled desire of her heart. Jane Franklin was the second daughter of John Griffin and his wife Mary, nee Guillemard, whose family took refuge in England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and it was probably from her Huguenot ancestry that she derived that steadfast. ness and tenacity of purpose which was mingled throughout her career with the lively characteristics of the Norman race.

DROWNED IN A WELL.-An inquest was held at West Smethwick, on the body of Maria Tomkins (23), who was drowned under the following circumstanees: The deceased went to a well at the rear of the house to draw some water, and accident- ally overbalanced herself and fell in head foremost. The mouth of the well was level with the ground and unprotected. The well was only six feet deep, and contained four feet of water, but, owing to its narrowness, the deceased was unable to raise herself out of the water, and was consequently drowned. Her body was found a short time afterwards upon search being made. The verdict was Accidental death."

CRICKET AND THE TELEGRAPH. (From the" Times.") When a year or two ego the telegraph wires were led into Lord's Cricket Ground, many people wondered whether the fashionable enclosure was about to be. come the scene of a race meeting or an agricultural show. Very few could have imagined for a moment that on certain days of the year as many telegrams would be forwarded frora Lord's as used to be for. warded from some of our large cities—Edinburgh,, for instance-in a week under the rdgime of the old telegraph companies. In 1872, when the wires were first extended to Lord's, the four principal matches of the year produced among them upwards of 800 telegrams, while in the year following the number rose to upwards of 1100. In 1874, when all of the matches were of exceptional interest, the number rose to 1300, but this year the increase has been beyond all pre- cedent, as many as 1700 messages having been disposed of in connection with the three principal matches which have been played during the past fortnight. The Oxford and Cambridge Match having been prolonged over three days this year produced a total of 800 messages, as compared with less than 400 last year; while the Eton and Harrow Match concluded on Saturday last, produced upwards of 700, and, but for the adverse weather of Friday must have yielded quite 1000. On Saturday upwards of 500 messages were handed in for transmission at the travelling telegraph office, and on both days of the match as many as three columns of news for the press were disposed of in this curious post-office on wheels. The Telegraph Department has evidently a very keen eye for business on such occasions, for we observed that messengers were stationed at convenient points within the grounds to collect telegrams from the public and run with them to the telegraph office; while the peculiar circumstances of the occasion had been so far con- sidered that dwarf counters had been erected round the office for the use of persons wishing to. write telegrams, but not tall enough to reach the ordinary counter. The telegraph, we may add, is in use at Prince's Ground and the Oval on the occasion of any important match being played there and we under- stand that it is in contemplation to have a per- manent structure at Lord's for the use of the special telegraphic staff before another year.
