AN AUSTRALIAN GRACE DARLING. A tale of heroism comes from the Antipodes, and is told of a woman—of one who "walks by the long wash of Australasian sens far off." On the 3rd of April last the Johanna, a German jerque, well known in Australian waters, left Mauritius for Melbourne. For some days every- thing waa plain sailing; then there followed a series 9' Masters such as are not often met with even the annals of the e«a. One by one the crew "•Came prostrated by the Mauritius' fever, and :'hen almost every hand on boatd was lying ill t'I ship was caught in a gale. Two men and one J*°paan were left to work the vessel—Captain Meiuders, Mrs. Meinders, and the chief mate. •« cap lain'a wife—the heroine of this brief Putative—had a double duty to perform. She had In the fit-at place to attend to the sick, and in the *j?*t place to assist her husband and the mate in the task of running the ship during the gale, f in spite of her effort?, death was busy. The *a«lois died one after the other, and finally the himself was struck down. Mrs. Meinders the first mat# were left alone to fisjhfc the and to bring the vessel to port. For forty this woman stood at the wheel, saw to r?8 ri £ g,ng> an<i took an active part in the of the ship. Below, the crew lay sick dying; around her was nothing but ceaseless danger, and anxiety. To crown all, her J^&band died. But the brave woman held on to Mie very end, and the vessel finally reached a {1f safety. The heroine of this story, Mar- ■J'crita Meinders, is onlv 27 yea>'S of age. She !T#8 married in 1882, and lias been at sea ever ■'Dee. She has two children—one a boy, now being :dl1cated in Germany—the other a little girl of >«, who ran about the deck of the Johanna through all its experiences. It remains to be noted tiie good people of Melbourne hav that the suffering of a widow and a "onaan shall be lightened by all the ways that &rC) within the working of humans."

Another Blaze at Maldon. An outbreak of fire, the second within a week, took p;.tce on Monday at Buckingham Hall, rjenr J^Aldon, Essex, in the occupation of Mr. Joseph "akelin, of Withain. Two large barns with their contents and four cow sheds were destroyed. -Qi!i £ 1,200.

ANOTHER SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS. Tame Swans Shot for "Sport" at Pembroke. The Pembrokeshire Times states that the swans which for many months past had graced the waters of the Pembroke Mill-pond have been shot on the river below Pembroke. These swans (two) arrived on the pond some time last spring, and in due time they made their nest in the reeds on the upper mill-pond. Five eggs were laid, and in course of time they brought out three cygnets. During the incubation they were watched with the greatest interest by the people of the town, and the wonderful instinct they evinced in raising their nests no less than three times when they found the spring tides rendered it necessary roused the wonder and admiration q{ all who watched them. Yet these lovely birds have been shot. It seems the floodgates were left open a few days ago, and, the mill- ØõM being emptied, the swans followed the receding waters, only to fall a prey to some fellow who owned a gun. The man who shot these beautiful creatures, whoever he may be, must have done so knowing full well they had only strayed away from their usual habitation, and exhibited a wantonness which de- served rich punishment. The inhabitants of the district, as may be imagined, are filled with indig- nation, and it is their earnest hope that whoever has been guilty of this butchery may be brought to justice. Swans, when at large, become the property of the Crown, so this appears to be a case for the Public Prosecutor.

THE MATRIMONIAL NEWS AGAIN. At the London Bankruptcy Court on Tuesasy ap- plication was made to Mr. Registrar Liukiater to make a receiving order against Leslie Fraser Duncan, the proprietor of the Matrimonial News, who was described as of Wilton-street, Grosvenor-place, the Strand, and Grey Court, Ham, journalist. The petitioning creditor is Miss S, C. Gladys Knowles, of Oxford-terrace, Hyde Park, spinster, the debt being the sum of JE10,000, the amount recovered against the debtor for breach of promise. The petitioning creditor was called, and stated that debtor in her hearing had declared his intention of divesting himself of everything if the verdict in the breach of promise action was given against him. No one appeared on behalf of the debtor, who was stated to be on the Continent, and the learned counsel made the usual receiving order.

ALLEGED MURDER A1 OLDHAM. A shoemaker named Dougherty diedat Oldlinm on Tuesday if rom stabs inflicted by a man named Reece, who was beating his wife when Dougherty inter- fered. Reece thereupon attacked him. He will be charged with murder.

Caught in the Automatic Chair, The "automatic chairs" which have been introduced at the Edinburgh Ex-hibition are not without their disadvantages and dangers. A lady sat on one the other day, and when she got up, instead of rising abruptly, she rose with the dignity which became her years and her position in the fashionable world. The consequence was that her skirts were caught by the relapsing seat, and the expenditure of another penny was seen to be necessary to set her fee. To her horror she discovered that her purse was empty of small money, and she had to send for change for a sovereign before she could regain her libertv nf movement.

Scalped by Indians. John Wolverline, a section foreman on the North Pacihc Railway, was patrolling the line on Monday when he met two drunken Indians. They demanded some liquor, and when Wolverline refused they attacked him with clubs, with which they beat him senseless. They then scalped him and escaped.

Narrow Escape From Sharks, A Lascar sailor on board the P. and O. Com- pany's steamer Peninsular, when approaching Aden from Bombay, had a remarkable adventure. He fell overboard from the forward lighthouse. Three life-buoys were thrown and a boat promptly lowered. The native was not rescued for about a quarter of an hcur, when he was found clinging to a life-buoy, and it was seen that two large sharks had grabbed the other two life-buoys.

A Dive From Conway Bridge, Professor Beaumont, who is giving swimming performances at Llandudno, on Monday gave valuable assistance to the fund raised on behalf of the search party for the fcur boatmen who with four visitor, were lately drowned by the capsizing ot a boat in the estuary of the Con- wav river. The professor successfully essayed what has rarely been attempted, the taking of a header from the Conway Suspension Bridge. The dive, which was cleverly done, attracted an immbnse audience, and Professor Beaumont, was heartily cheered on rising to the surface.

Attendance at the B.A. Is the British Association declining in interest ? Last time the association visited Leeds the mem- ber", associates, and ladies together numbered 1,698; this year they are only 1.674. The simi- laritv of the numbers is very striking, when we remember that the previous visit was so long ago as 1858, and that this year's record is smaller than any since 1882.

A Fruitless Year. This has been one of the most fruitless years we have had for a long time past (so savs the London correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury). There are no native apples to be obtained worth the eating, and the supply of foreign apples falls short of that of previous years. Pears are dear, and, as a rule, tasteless. Plums are not to be got at a reasonable price. In Cove&t-garden itself the beat plums are quoted at rates of Z2 to £258, a bushel, and the common plums at jEl a bushel, and housewives in the West-end are buving plums at fabulous prices. Plum j im is not to be obtained for love or money. Last year's stock is exhausted, and in consequence of the prevailing prices manu- factmerg are not making it this season.
