London April 10.

It is stated the Queen will, on the oc casion of the Royal Anniversary, create an Imperial Order of Merit for civilians only. The official German Commission will charter a special steamer from Hamburg to convey the German exhibits to Mel bourne. The of the Governor of British Columbia urges the necessity of legislative restriction upon Chinese immigration. After this year the Derby is to be run at Gravesend and not at Epsom. Scobeloff’s departure for Turkistan is still uncertain. It is stated his move ments will depend on the change of Ministry in England. The Chinese who crossed the Amoy into Russian territory were irregular Tartar hordes, not troops. Nevertheless it is reported that a large Chinese force is ready to invade Oastragar and Kuldaja on the frontier. The Russians are sending reinforcements and threaten the same. It is officially stated in St. Petersburg that China is disposed to renew negotiations on the Kuldaja question. The manifesto of Prince Napoleon ap proves of the decrees against the Jesuits. Archbishop Tours and a Suffragan Bishop have addressed a joint letter to M. Grevy, protesting against the expulsion of the Jesuits.

The Journal cles Dehats advocates Aus trian and French colonial enterprise, and urges Government to establish colonies in the vacant fertile territory in Europe, Asia, and Oceania. A Universal Congress of Free Thinkers will he held in Brussels in August. A Democratic manifesto, signed by 279 former Senators and Deputies, and 21 journalists of Madrid has been issued demanding religious liberty, a liberal press, liberty of public meeting, association and education, and universal sufferage. The German Press regards Bismarck’s late resignation as a ruse where by the Chancellor intends to enforce reforms in the Federal Council, giving a preponder ence of voting power to the larger German States. The Sultan and Porte are much alarmed at the result of the English elections, and there is dissatisfaction throughout Asia Minor.

The Liberal gain, without the Irish party, is estimated at 100. The Liberal majority over the Tories and Home Rulers combined is about 40. Never since 1845 have the Tories been so weak numerically, nor so discouraged morally. The English journals devote themselves to inventing ingenious theories to account for the depression in trade —bad harvests, democratic caprice. Liberal misrepresenta tions and any other causes are assigned by the Conservative sheets. The defeated party have circulated the wildest stories, even alleging that the constituencies have been bought with Russian gold. Utter confusion reigns in the Tory camp. The leader, usually calm in manner and care ful in speech, wildly declares the country is ruined, its prestige gone, its influence in European councils sacrificed, and that desolation is impending at Home. The Queen’s continued absence on the Continent occasions sharp comments. A Berlin paper says Her Majesty is exasper ated at Lord Beaconsfield, alleging that he deceived her as to the real feeling in the country, and has alienated the most loyal portion of her dominions. The Ecommist says : —“ There _is a growing tendency to regard the Liberal success as favorable to business. .It ap pears that we are on the eve of another outbreak of speculation. ” The Liberals in London were preparing a monster demonstration when Gladstone returned from the north, but he formally declined ifc.

The Duchess of Marlborough, in a letter to the Lord Mayor of London, says all fear of famine is now r at an end, but much distress exists in the mountanous parts. There is great need of clothing and seed.

Redpath, the correspondent sent to Ireland by the New York Tribune , con tinues to report a sad state of affairs, especially in County Mayo. The entire population, he says, in many localities have no food, except an allowance of Indian meal from the relief committee. No work. Potatoes intended for seed have everywhere been eaten. The funds collected will enable the committee to avert starvation until May. Then the gravest results may be expected. Parnell arrived in Queenstown from New York on the 28th ult., and was en thusiastically received. On the 28th he attended a political meeting in Ennis corthy, and was pelted with rotten eggs, and an attempt was made to throw him off the platform. In Russia, Jews are being treated with increasing severity. Some have been forced to represent themselves Protestant Christians to avoid expulsion from St. Petersburgh. Several who have been leading business men for many years were summarily expelled. Telegrams from the Russian Consul ai Evan Armenia appealed for help to save the inhabitants from annihilation. The famine is increasing. 150 persons died of starvation at Agrok. Russia is moving in the matter to send forward supplies. President Grant seeks nomination for the third presidental term. His opponents are Senators Blaine, Sherman, and Edmonds.

The Bacchante, with the Princes Albert and Victor George of Wales on board, arrived at Bermuda.

It is reported that the King of Burmah died of small pox at Mandalay; but further despatches say the report cannot be authenticated. It is added, however, that indiscriminate human sacrifices have been offered in Mandalay for his recovery. A Burmah correspondent says that Manda lay astrologers mention that, in order to remove the evil influence, great propitia tory sacrifices must be made, and victims must be taken from all ranks to the number of four hundred. The priests con tribute one hundred, and the remainder are men, women, and children. Many arrests have been made to secure a sufficient number of victims. The Catholic convent was entered to procure victims from among the girls there, but the attempt was frus trated. The internal condition of the country is most unsatisfactory. Rangoon, April 11.

Seven hundred women, boys, girls, priests, and foreigners were burned alive under the towers of the city walls as a sacrifice for the restoration of the King’s health. The panic in Mandalay is fright ful. Hundreds of people are leaving the city. The King’s illness is said to be leprosy. Arica has been bombarded by the Chilian navy, but the attacking ships, Huascar and Magellan unexpectedly re ceived severe treatment from an old American built monitor hastily put in ser vice, and handled by Captain Moore, of the ill-fated Peruvian war vessel Indepen dentia. After half a dozen shots from the Rodman guns carried by the monitor, the Chilian ships got out of range. The blockade was forced by the Peru vians’ corvette Union, after’ fighting seven hours with the Chilian ironclads and transport. Callao will be blockaded or bombarded. The Peruvian army has been defeated.

THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

WRITTEN ON SAND.

Four romantic girls sat together in a pleasant parlour one day. They were all country girls, and it so happened that they were very soon to part. One said, “ And probably if we ever see each other anywhere, we will all he married women. ”

“ You may,” said the tallest of the group, a black-eyed, very handsome girl, “but I doubt if I shall. I never will marry any one but a distinguished man— a man of high position in society and of very great talents. I don’t think I shall ever meet any one quite distinguished enough to suit me.” “ What I should care for,” said the girl who sat next her, a blue-eyed morsel of a creature, “would be height. I must have a tall man.”

“ And I should only be contented with a man who was very handsome,” said another; “ something really superb. I’m no beauty myself, and I want some good looks in the family. ” “All that I should desire would be that my husband should be a good talker” said a fourth. “I care more for a talent for conversation than for any other that a man can have.”

At this moment a fifth girl entered the room, and took a vacant chair beside the others. She was the hostess, and had been out to see about tea.

“ Talking about your future husbands?” she said. “I here declare, that sooner than be an old miad, I’ll have any one who asks me. I’ll be married, even if I’m not quite suited in every particular, before I’m twenty.” “Good!” said the first who had spoken. “Now I’ve something to pro pose. Let ns take that blank-book we were looking at, and write in it each a description of the man we should choose of all the world for a lover. Ellen can keep the book, and when we are all married we will see whether the descrip tion tallies with our choice.”

“It is a splendid idea,” said Ellen ; and ran to bring the book. Then they all gathered about a table, and the tall dark beauty wrote on tbe first page the words that follow :

“ December—, 18—.” “I, Bella Norton, aged eighteen, declare that it would be impossible for me to marry any but a man of the highest social position, who had achieved distinction for himself in some profession or by some wonderful deed. Personal appearance would be nothing to me. If no great man ever asks me to marry him I will remain single.”

This she read, amidst the applause of her friends. And the blue-eyed girl seized the pen : “If I ever marry,” she wrote, “it must be a very tall and finely built man. Ido not think little men ever are splendid. “ Fanny Rose, aged fifteen.” December —, 18 —.” “Never be ashamed of your senti ments,” said the next in order, putting back her long curls. “ I, Netty Grey, here record my inten tion to marry only a fine man. He must have a handsome face, or let him never offer himself to me. I am sixteen years old.

“ December —, 18 —,” “ December —, 18—wrote the fourth —“ I am nineteen, and know my own mind. I will have no husband who is not a brilliant conversationalist. “Jean Brown,”

“And I” wrote the young hostess, — “I Ellen May, will have any nice man whom I can like. I don’t intend to be too particular. lam seventeen.” And she also added the date.

Having laughed awhile over the record, the young girls shut the book solemnly into the bureau, and obeyed the sum mons of the tea-bell.

It was a merry evening, and the last they ever spent together as girls. In a few days Ellen May was the only one of the five left in town.

At first they corresponded regularly, but after awhile their letters grew fewer, and in time only occasional. She heard, however, of the marriage of each in turn. As for herself, she did not marry. She had offers but none of them suited her, despite her recorded resolution ; and at the age of forty was yet single. So that four letters which, strangely enough reached her in one day, were all addressed to Miss May instead of to Mrs. Some body. These four letters wore from the four friends. Each had written to the other, they had resolved to come and pay her a visit, and they would be with her on Saturday with their husbands. Neither had ever seen the others husband; it would be a general meeting and introduc tion.

Miss May, on the receipt of these let ters, first cried and then laughed, and then set to work to put her house in order, and to get ready some of the things “ the girds ” liked in old times. As the day approached, she grew quite nervous ; and when early in the afternoon four black silk dresses fluttered upon her porch, she really felt as though she should run away and hide hot-self. However, that would not do, and so the four ladies met the next moment in the little parlor. They had all changed, but they were fine looking women still. Time had not done his worst. “But where arc the husbands 1” said Miss May. “ Coming up by the evening train to tea,” answered a chorus. Then the bonnets were removed and chat began ; and after awhile Miss May went to the old book-case and took out the old blank-book, and, amid much laughter, read what had been written so many years before. “ Has it been carried out ? ” she asked. “Is your husband great, Bell ? Yours tall, Fanny ? Yours very handsome, Nettie? And, Jean, does yours converse so well? ”

Silence fell upon the group. No one answered. At last “ And have you never had an offer, Ellen ? ” said Bell— now Mrs. Smith. Ellen looked down. “I've had five,” she said; “but I—some how I liked none of them. However’—l -—l’ve just accepted a gentleman—a per son of suitable age, quite rich, very hand some, highly educated, and of good family. I could not feel content to marry an ordinary person.” “ So you carry out. your intentions,” said Mrs. Smith, with a laugh. “ Well, I congratulate you. And now, girls, I con fess I did marry a great man. Mr. Smith i 3 — a —a tailor, and he’s very nice and good-looking. I found, somehow, I cared more for that; the distinguished men were so personally unattractive.” “ Candid confession is good for the soul,” said Fanny, now Mrs. Hope. “ Small as I am, my husband is just my height; but he is such a dear fellow you can’t think—and girls are so silly. ” “ I suppose it is my turn,” said Nettie, now Mrs, Clark. “I declared in yonder book that I’d have a handsome man, or none ; but dear Horace is not handsome. He met with a dreadful accident in his youth, and broke his nose aud put out one of his eyes, and spoiled his face alto gether ; but he has such a fine mind and such a good heart that he is only dearer to me for his blemishes aud Mrs. Clark put her hankerchief to her eyes. Jean—now Mrs. Hudson —said no thing. “Perhaps your husband is a fine_ con versationalist,” said Bella, with a smile.

“I think he would be” said Jean, trifling with her fan, “If—if —well, to cJiifcsa the truth, my husband never spoke a word in his life ; he was born deaf and dumb. But he’s just the dearest soul and so fond of me ! ” “ Good ! ” said Bella. None of us can laugh at the other ; but since matters are as they are, what do you say to burning that book before the gentlemen come in.” Every one agreed. Later in the day, the husbands appeared upon the scene, and Miss May’s suitor also arrived to take tea with them; and any unprejudiced observer must have admitted that of all men Mr. Smith was perhaps the least dis tinguished : Mr. Hope, the shortest; Mr. Clarke, the plainest, and Mr. Hudson, the dumbest they ever met; while Mr. Porter, who was about to marry the lady who had declared her intention of taking anyone who offered, was distinguished, handsome, tall, and a good talker.
