Tlio meadows have not afforded a welcome to the cryptogenic S|x>rc«, and there is consequently a dearth of this luxury of the table, (.iardeners who understand thv artificial cultivation of mushrooms are probably elated, because although they sow not any aoeJ, nor ye! have any guarantee fchab spores are quiesccnt in what in common parlance if called "mushroom spawn," the conditions of temjMJiat ure and the generous nature of a special organic are such as to encourage any germs of thia toothsome vegetable parasite to settle down and become lusty. The mushroom could be made much more of by the gardener. With a suitable building and attention to the soil, he may liave a crop conftantly coming forth, and every pound he gathera has a good price. A gardener who con- verted an cl.1 tool-house into a mushroom bed and raised fifty pounds' worth the first year, understood hit calling. So many foik now pass their fifth-score year in the enjoyment of nil their faculties that we have come almost to wonder why a former generation should hare regarded a centenarian aa a remark- able phenomenon. The old lady who has itiob died at Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, is, however, interesting also from the number of her descend- ants. Born on St. Valentine's Day, 1787, Mrs. Mary Pedley saw a hundred and two summers some and go, while when she passed away she lefb a hundred children and grand-children alive to keep hot memory green. Born the year before the memorable impeachment of Warren Hastings, she has lived down to the oponing of the Bamell Commission. She bridges the gap thab lies be. tween the age which tho oratory of Sheridan de. lighted and the present one. In her young womanhood she might have dandled the baby that) became a Beaconsfieh! The vitality of the race is evidently not retrograding. In the future can. tenarians will probably be more pieutiful even than they are now. THE fail of George Palmer, as it was told ab the Middlesex Sessions, is a sad and surprising in- stance of moral weakness au I yielding to tempta. tion. At the Criterion quantities of meat had been miseed for PoIlio time past from tho larder. In order to catch the thief a detcotive-scrgeanl and a police'COlll:it.al.lo secreted themselves on the nighb of tho fifteenth of this month in ho ictoria Room, from "ltklt 111fy êoul.1 keop watch 011 tlte meab receptacle. Wo may imagine their astonishment to so« a (irenvm engaged at. thirty-five shillings a week walk towards the larder, I Ilet) its door with a master key, and take two piocest of mutton from off Lho slab. There is somH.hmg piteous in the thief's despairing cry m hen tlio policemen turned their built' eye-i on him and ma le their presence known. "What a fool I have been, after being here fifteen years, and catching thieves myself." This man had actually be<;n presented with a gold watch for distinguishing himself in tho capture of a burglar, and yet he Hung away reputation and his pOllt. thus. A sentence of six months hard labour closes a lamentable story of human frulity and want oi principle. AT length some ornamental relief has been do. creed to gentlemen who go out to dine, For more than a generation man's attire for an evening party has been solemnly funereal comfortable, but dismal, and precisely the same as ■% waiter's working suit. Our grandfathers had a gayer taste. They were as fastidious in the gorgeous- ness and costliness of their wearing apparel a3 ladies, and wore itcen and embroidered silks quite ae lavishly. In these degenerate days man s attire for parties has censed to have any remnant of originality, and, perhaps, it is all the mote com- fortable and healthy on that account. It is a por- tentous thing to introduce innovations. Tiois season, it seems, embroidered trousers are to be the fashion among those who give it heeft. A long strip down the outer seam is to be worked in black embroidery silks on black piece silk. This will afford some i-c.isf of pattern, at least, on the black broad cloth but if the fashion be seriously followed, there is no reason why the embroidery should con- tinoe black. Colour may becomo fashionable. A rich yellow against a dark ground is very pretty. Waistcoats may again become work", of art, and Birmingham, without) sumptuary enforcements, may again flourish on brass buttons highly orna- mental. This change to brilliant outwatdliness lias possibly an elevating tendency, and as it will not cost more than the raven-like sombreness heretofore prevailing, society need nob frown opou the revolution too severely. IF the recommendations of the Select. Committee appointed to inquire into tho adequacy of the powers of Poor Law Guardians to cope with die- tress are adhered to, paupers belonging to the Vagrant an l casual class will not be deprived of the separate workhouse accommodation existing for their relief. The Committee think that the poor people thus classified cotilil not be dealt with otherwise than separately, They suggest that the power of detention should be extended where the pauper has been re-admitted within a period of 14 days. But they are of opinion thatca-tua) paupers should be allowed to discharge themselves at an earlier hour than nine in the morning, which is too tte in the day to obtain employment. Ib is admitted that outside the vagrant class it would be exceedingly difficult to lay down rules giving a general power to compulsoiily detain paupers ir workhouses. On the subjoct of boarding out pauper childrell the Committee report most favour- ably. The regulations now in force are com- mended ai judicious, and attention is pointedly called to the evidence of mos> of tho w.tnesse, .n favour of the system of board mg-on at a dulrnce especially in the case of guIs, should in foLl and clothing of these childien si»oul<J, the opinion of the Committee, not be ni a y y above that of tho children of respectable Lbjuieis in the eaine village. SAtfmf Tif nM'a barrel of money used to be t\ <<?ke in American politics—sometimes illustrr.ted facetiously ami commonly jibed at in colloquial journalism. Ho was a millionaire and very ambi- tious, and his money was very generilly con- ioidot-mi at the service of any section of the Demo ctatic jwii'ty that would hoo his row to win the Presidency. Mr. Tilden made a good use of his money in hie solemn will and testament, He left Lwo millions sterling to form and main, tain a free library. Such unusual generosity by an old man to the public could 110., of course, pass unchallenged. Titite far, however, the MpheW, who liiis gone to law boat upon estab- lishing 'th.tt. the old man must have been insane to *ass him by for the sake cf deluging pos- terity with free literature, has not gained much sfvc in the way of costs against himself.

ITOPICS OF THE Willi.
I TOPICS OF THE Willi. THE completion of the SOllth Gare brcakwatct It the mouth of the Tecs was very becomingly celebrat ed I I,o other day by what may be called an Dpeniug ceremony, in which the chief honour fell do Mr. \Y. H. Smith, First Lord of the Treasury. Middlesbrough has reason to rejoice -it her pro- gress, all accomplished well within tho presenb century. It would be vain to set bounds to thab progress in tho future, because advantage is con- stantly being takeil of new industries and processes to swell tho volume of her trade. The breakwater project was a gigantic undertaking, and its bene- fits to navigation will amply compensate the hugo expenditure) thab has been entailed. Mn. JTesnikek-Hf.ATON-, M.P., enters his pro- test against a fourpenny letter rate to Australia. This is the latest proposed adjustment of the postal arrangements to our Antipodean Colonies, and ho Junks that the British Posb-ollice, earning a surplus of three millions sterling a year, "should lead the way in inaugurating rates as iow as possible. Threepence per unit of weight would be a real in- stalment of concession, and ho asks that this should be granted. Tho analogy of tho development of our own Post-olfice business certainly supports this view. With low rates there would bo an enormous compensat ing increase of correspondence. Pennsylvania and Ohio have tried the experi- menb of charging large sums for liquor retail licenses, and the financial results are strikingly success ful. Before high lioonce came into opera- tion in the Keystone State there were 14,5;io saloons, and the revenue derived from them was !)7t;,179 dollars. Now there are only in the whole 1 State 7,7-4 licensed houses, and tho revenue is dollars. In in Ohio there were 16,000 licensed houses, being I to every 211 per- t-ons. The number is now reduced to !), 170 or I to every 406 inhabitants, and the licenses pay 4■'■">,000 dollars in direct taxes to the State and 1,8^2,000 dollars to the various counties. This is a very direct method of controlling the publican and raising taxes. THE appointment of the Dulto of Westminster as Lonl-Lieutenant of London, effectually prevents his boing appointed Chairman of the County Council. There is, I hear, acon"idcrabtodificutty in getting a man of position to become a candidate for the chairmanship of the Count y Council. Lord Derby is rather averse to accepting the position, and one or two other Peers of business capacity who havo been approached have declined to allow themselves to be put forward. The stamp of men who are coming forward as candidates for the County Council is by no means so good as could be Few men of business capacity or local standing are presenting themselves, and there is some fear that tho Council will become the prey of obscure nd venturers or incompetenb vestrymen. SCIATICA is an unpleasanb affliction, hub nob worso, we take it, than many another which tor- tures humanity. It is to be borne with resignation and affords no valid exeme for rash courses. No rational and thoughtful '.nan doubts that ib is ad- visable to bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and every ill that flesh is heir to, rather than to try the tomb for relief. Mr. James Dilley was foolish enough to seek the other morning a short cut from the sorrows of sciatica by drowning himself in Scio House Pond, on Putney Heath. Well, sir," he said, in axcuse to the magistrato nb Wandsworth Police Court, "1 was suffering from sciatica, and being unable to bear the pain any longer I threw myself in." Air. Daley is to be pitied, for his cold bath, though failing to kill him, terribly increased his agonies from his complaint. To be drenched to the skin in the present weather is not an exhilarating process for any one, and if Daley longed for the repose of the grave before ho went into the water, his yearnings must have been more intense when he came out. Still, acute bodily suffering provides a better apology than most suicides coull offer for their criminal action. HIGH-CLASS literature does not always compare favourably with poorer stuff in the commerce of books-at least this complaint is not infrequently made by tlioso who oughb to know what they are talking about. The same view is taken by the minstrel, both" inlirm and old," who was accused ab tho Westminster Police Courb (London), with placing himself in a position to gather alms at St. George's, Knightsbridge. Like his prototype, his withered cheek and tresses grey showed ho had known a better day," and he was described on tho charge-sheet as a schoolmaster. He declared in court that, he Mllg tlte best of ballads in tlte English language, bub lie preferred reciting Shakespeare if he conld ollly get an appreciative audience. "Shakespeare," he went on, "did not always pay, but everybody understood a song." The old man is right, we take it. The few ollly appreciate really him of wliotii Nliltoti wrote as "Sweetest Shakespeare, fancy's child." Tho many in the street understand and enjoy the songs better, and will pay for the gratification of their tasto. The world will bo much older than it is to-day before the best even in literature and song will mean the most immediately lucrative. MR, ZoncH H. Tuuton gives some information on New Guinea which mighb even Lempl, yachts- men in quest of a combination of holiday and novelty to go thither and summer during a northern winter. Port Moresby, the seat of govern- ment of the portion of New Guinea we have an- nexed, has a splendid harbour, but the approach requires careful attention to navigation. The protvler after beche-de-mtr, so delicious as a marine via id to the Chinese, has frequented and polluted a considerable strip of coasb but to the north-west of Port Moresby there is really virgin-ground for the traveller, "and before he has gone a hundred miies he will get among a people as simple and as child-like as any he may wish to see." The pre-his- toric man has not been much altered in the region indicated in the following passage "In 1884 I found villages within a few milesof the coast where no white man had ever been seen, and where mysolf and my wife weie regarded as painted specimens of humanity, who only required enough rubbing to get off the white the putting down of a sunshade, without due notice, caused a panic the lighting of a match was looked upon as an awe-inspiring calamity a watch held to the ear would cause even an old man to jump whilst a twopenny look mg. glnss was a present wortliy of a prince." Young ladies should not show too early their intention of proving "the grey niaro tho better horse." They nliould wait till the nuptial knot is fairly tied before insisting on tho choice uf cruel alternatives. Miss Maggie Watson was unwise enough to try her lover, Mr. William Kirklnnd, in this way. lie was a smoker, and she wrote tc him "Von must choose between mo and a cigar." 1 Mr Kirk land thought the matter over, and do- cided 10 elide to the cigar, considering that he could beat best tho lossofMjss Watson. Thoothct day, in tlio Sheriff's Court, Glasgow, Miss Watson f action against Mr. KirUlan-1 for ft™ hundred pounds because he failed to many >ot was ICir< The Sheriff Substitute had already deci led h the eenlleman's favour, and this doctsion tlie uitiiv uphold. Miss Maggio Wntson could surely not expect that a court of law would support her claim to decide before marriage the luxuries in which net husband should be permitted to indulge, and Mr. Kirkland was well within hio dght ill taking her at her word.

Tllll lJISIIOl* OF CHESTER, The Bishop of Chester, Right Rev. Dr. Stubbs has been presented with an address largely signed by the clergy, churchwardens, and laity of the diocese, on the occasion of his transfer to the See of Oxford. The presentation was made by the Duke of Westminster. The Bishop, in reply, re- ferred in very eulogistic terms to his successor, the Rev. Canon Jayne, M.A., Vicar of Leeds, in whose hands he left the increasing work of the diocese with perfect confidence. LORD sackville. Lord Sackvillo-whose recall from Washington is expected, in consequence of his indiscreet letter —is now 01 years of age, and has been in the Diplomat ic Service for 41 years. He has been suc- cessively the British Minister to the Argentine Republic, to the Courb of Spain, and to the United States. The latter post he has held since 1881. Lord Sackville's household at Washing- ton consists of three beautiful and accomplished daughters. VOTE-TRAPPING. Vote-trapping has always been a high art in electioneering, and nowhere has it obtained such perfection as in America. President Cleveland, in his interview with a correspondent of the New York World on the Sackville incident, gave fair warning of another surpriso in store for him at the hands of the Republicans. Ho is to be presented with a series of engrossed resolutions, purporting to come from an English political club, in which he is complimented most, graciously on his advanced ideas on the tariff. Surely thie would bo a trick outrageously transparent. MHS. I.ANGWORTnr. Mrs. Langworthy, who has been staying down at Margate for the last two months, has left Lon. don for Paris. The little Gladys, the alleged child," being a ward of the court, special permis- sion was nocessary to enable her to leave the juris- diction. Before lea dng LOllllon Mrs. Langworthy ani.ertained at dinner, at the Grand Hotel, a few of the legal friends who had helped her to her victory in tho law courts. A MYSTERY TO BE SOLVED. Tho Gas Committee of the Leeds Corporation aro making an examination into their coal contracts. It is to the enduring interest of the town, irrespec- tive of those who make chargos and those who have to moot them, that this investigation should be exhaustive and conclusive. In one matter of gas supply the Leeds Corporation have an opening for improvement. The quality of the gas in lumin- osity is so inferior that many people are taking to the use of lamps. We are assured that one firm in Leeds has never befote sold so many lamps as this year. Now gas in Leeds is very cheap, and tliero is a reason when people prefer to use oil.
WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.
WHAT THE WORLD SAYS. Dr. A.C. Mackenzie is to have an honorary degreo conferred on him at Cambridge. In spiLe of adverse criticism, the sale of Frederick the Noble during tho past fortnighb has nearly reached one hundred thousand copies. Owing to Lord Durham's anxiety to winter abroad, every effort is being made to accelerate the great Turf scandal arbitration case, in which his lordship and Sir George Chelwynd are tho con- flicting opponents. The Prince of Wales continues to experience tho worst of bad luck with his racehorse purchases. There was not a solitary bid for Royalist, (who cosb 3,100 guineas as a yearling) when offered for sale last week. There is nob the slightest foundation for the rumour which has been most persistent ly cii-etillictl thab the Tsarevitch is bo be betrothed to one of the daughters of the Prince of Wales, the Princess Maude being the favourite of the ill-informed journals which report this fiction. A novel experiment is about to be made in Paris, viz., the establishment of a cab company, of which Lord Shrewsbury is chairman, with a plant of t hree hundred S.T. hansoms, fitted with rubber tires and drawn by English horses. The Prince of Wales, who was at Ncwmarkeb for three days lasb week, has left Marlborough House for Balmoral, on a short visit to the Queen, who, I hear, telegraphed to request his presence at the Castle. The Prince returns to town from Balmoral, and then goes to Sandringhani, where the Princess and the young Princesses arrived the other afternoon. The Princess of Wales never looked better or stronger than she did lasb week, and there is no doubt that her health has greatly benefited by her recent sojourn abroad. Her eldest daughter has also ceased to suffer from the violent attacks of neuralgia which ab one time caused considerable anxiety. The Prince and Princess of Wales will give their annual ball at Sandringhain on Friday week, to celebrato his Royal Highness's birth lay in tho 9 customary manner. The invitations particularly re (uest, all guests to go out of mourning," as the Prince has a great dislike to any appearance of gloom at tho festivities hold on all such occasions. King Milan's prolonged stay at tho baths of Gloichenborg has provoked much gossip at Vienna, where it has latterly been rumoured that ho was really nllahle to leave, having been, in fact,, de- t'llifieci Llket-e for King Milan has long been in difficulties, but now ho has neither money nor credit. A few years ago he lost £ 30,000 at tho Nobloi* Club at V ienna, which was paid for him by the Emperor Francis Joseph, on condition iliab he promised, on his word of honour, to play no lnoro. However, this pledge was quickly broken, and after another bad night Milan pawned his most valuable ancestral possession, the magniticcnt covered all over with precious atones,which the Tsar Nicholas gave to Princo Milosch. A curious story comes from Berlin, of the truth of which, I believe, thero is little doubt, with re- gard to the much-vexed question of the Batton- >erg marriage. It is said that on his death-bed the Lmpci oi Frederick entrusted a message to the Empress tor his son, asking, as his dying request, that lie would not oppose the marriage of Princess Victoria to I rtnee Alexander of Battenberg and shortly after her husband's death, the Empress Frederick, dut ing an Interview with her son, de- livered his father s message, and was met with a stern refusal. Tho Emperor William is gnid to have told his mother that the last request made to him, a very few hours before his doatio, by the old Emperor, his grandfather, was to extort a promise from him thai) on no consideration whatsoever would he consent to lhe union; and under those I solemn circumstances the promise had been given, and that lie felb himself bound absolutely to fulfil the dying promise made to his grandfather, in preference to a request made only second-hand by his fother. It is easy lo imagine tlio consternation this information caused, and it has tended to widen the breach between the Empress Frederick and the Emperor.
