THE LONDON UNEMPLOYED

(fBXUTEB^S TM.SGRAM— OOPYPIGHT.]

Lokdok, Octeber 28

A numerous gathering of the unem ployed took place at Trafalgar square to-day* A deputation from the men proceeded to the officers of the Metro politan Board of Works, and m a ihreatening manner demanded that they should be furnished with employ ment. A reply to the demand will be gifen by the Board on Monday.

It has been decided not to open the Eord Mayor's fund for the unem ployed. Sir R. Hanson advises the increase of local relief instead.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT.

Mr W. Oampbell, blacksmith, of tbe ▲ahbnrtoh Fork*, has designed an Imple ment which he calls tbe " Combined Bone Hoc and Drill Plough." It was exhibited at the show on Friday lust, and though only In the rough, attraoted a good deal of favorable comment. It can be UMd ai a horse hoe with five tines or as a drill (lough, either for forming drills tot planting or for the removal of root crops. The hoeing apparatas Is con ■traeted ilmilarly to tbe ordinary horse hoe, but the tinea are moveable at will being fixed on the frame by an Ingenious eontnvanoe of o'amp and set eorewi. When the Implement is required for drilling one man can m a minute make the requisite alteration!. Tbe mould beards are eonneoted by hinges In front; a one-lnoh let aorew combined with a lever arrangement regulates tbe width of drill; any width c«n be obtained from 20 lnehei to 3ft 6in. The wheel stalk is square and works wl th a thimble la the eys of the plough beam and Is therefore self* Betting as the draught keeps the wheel m ■j dlreot line when the implement Ii at work. The only tool required is a eombioed hammer and wrench. The price of the Implement hat been fixed at £6 10*, a rery low sum it must be ad mitted. The weight is only about two ewt. and for garden vie a tmaller itze can to made.

GARDEN MANURE

Rich manure, especially if fresh, is mot only undesirable, but objectionable. Any decomposed material that can be stored m the tot heap for a few months ii suitable* and vastly preferable to animal manure of any kind, exoept It be very much re duced by decomposition. Thus grass mowings, the paring* of grass edgings, theicraplngs of roads, leaves, weedi-. whioh, if seeding, should be fjurned— —the aihei of pruning, and all sorts of re'ute from the garden, will make tbs very test compost for top-dreteing fruit borders. All such material should be carefully preserved and laid up iv a heap to be turned over frequently, always turning the roughest and least decomposed parti Into tbe heart of the heap at each turning. Tbli Is a point of the economy m the garden which is too little appre ciated, but which well repays the slight ttouble entailed In attending to It closely.

A CURIOUS POINT.

Weuikoiqn, October 31

A curious point has arisen m connec tion with the Licensing lawa. Oue of the city hotels la found, elnoo a recent exten sion, to stand m two licensing districts. There is a bar extension, and it is con* tended a fresh license must be paid, but there is no bar within the meaning of the Act m the old portion, and it may be possible that this fact keeps the licensee within the law. The point is under the consideration of the authorities.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

Suicide. Auckland, October 31. Mrs Emma Field, Alexandra street, committed eu'eide by drowning m the Domain pond. Deoeased was a widow and had been low spirited since the death of her husband three weeks »go. The body was found on Sunday at noon and m the vicinity of the pond were a parasol — bonnet and drear, la the pocket of which was a letter addressed to Dr McKellar, enloaing £3 for medical attendance and stating her intention to drown herself Deoeased was 47 years of age, and had no relatives m the colony. Fires. This morning at two o'clock a fire on Mount Bosklll road destroyed Lyell's grocery store and dwelling, Fitch's drapery store and dwelling, and a cottage owned and occupied by Armstrong. No water supplied. The furniture and stook were nearly all saved- An incipient fife at LamW flour mills, Fort street was discovered early on Sunday morning. Very little damage was done. : ' Deaths. John Wallace, of Fapatoltol, died on Saturday from creeping paralysis. Thos. Corkwell, his brother-in-law, died sud denly the same day from hetrfc disease Pensioners Settlement. Tafbanga, October 31. At a public meeting resolutions were passed strongly urging Government to open Grown lands under fr«e selection, and asking the Minister of Lands to set aside five thousand acres, Papatoi block, now being purchased from the Native*, as a pensioner settlement under the pro posed scheme for the introduction and settlement of pensioners. The block is ezcelleut land, and well salted to the purpose.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY

A shocking tragedy, which was enaoted on October 13, m Queensland, was dis covered on the following morr.lug. A man who was coming into town along the Too won g road found three hats on the river bank, and shortly afterwards saw the body of a little girl floating down the river. Subsequently the body of a little boy was found near the same place. It appears that a Mrs Davis, with three children, who was said to have bßen deserted by her husband and left m great poverty, had been existing for some time on the charity of friends and neighbors, and had lately been living with some people at Paddington, who, Mrs Davis thought, had become tired of tbe children. Yesterday she took the girl, who was aged six years, and a boy, who was only a few months old, leaving a bo; of five years, with these people, who are named Tudman, and left the house. Shortly afterwards the following letter was found, signed by Mrs Davis : — " My dear Mra Tudman, — Y< v have been a friend to me, and may God reward you When you see this I shall be at the bottom of the river. I leave George with yon, if yon will let him stay with you Good bye, and God be with yen." The body of Mrs Davis bas since been recovered.

A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT

The amusing outcome of a double elopement, which took (lace recently at Louisville, In America, haa been, so to say, that the right man has married the wrong girl, and that the double marriage has been rather a confused affair. Two brothers, It seems, were engaged to be married to two young women In the town, and, the parents of the girls objecting to tbe suitors, It was arranged that the four should elope together. The enterprising yonng men called for their Intended brides m buggies, but to avoid suspicion, the girls were exchanged — the future wife of the one going with the fnture husband of the other, aod m this way they started for the nearest railway sta tion, a few miles off. It chfrnced, how every, that the pareots of the girls heard of the departure from the neighbors, and set off on horseback m hot pursuit. They came up with the buggy m the rear, and stopped It from going farther ; but the two occupants of the other buggy just reached the station ai the train pulled up. and into It they got. It occurred to the young man that the best thing now to be done was to marry the girl who was his companion, since his sweetheart bad been left behind ; and the damsel raising no objeotlon, the two were united. To make It all right with his brother, whose place he had usurped, the bridegroom wrote at once after the ceremony, pointing out that " both girls were very nearly alike," and that matters could be squared if he would mirry the ether, In this way matters were ultimately squared, nor does it appear that any of the four are diesititfied with the exchange of partners for life.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

Abbe Larr leu, foinurlya xnislooary m | Ohina has published a pamphlet ou the Gieat Wail of Ohina to demonstrate that it does not and has never existed. The popular belief is that this wall (stretches for about 800 leagues across Ohina, from the sea to the province of Kaneu, that it is wholly constructed of oat stone, and 30 cubits high by 12 broad. It is believed to ran straight on regardless of obs'aoles. going down valleys and up mountains without a brcaV, except euoh an time haß made, along its whole course. This Dotion originated with a Jesuit named Martini, who visited Ohina about 1650, | and his description waa followed by subee- I qaent writers. Abbe Larr leu has lived for several years under what would have been the thadow of the Great Wall had there been one ; ha has s'udied the writings of reoent writers — especially Abba Hue — who have crossed the line of the alleged wall m various place ; he has likewise studied the Chinese history of the BuVj?ct, and his conclusions are ea follows :— (1) The term " Great Wall " is at the bottom of all the misunderstanding, and it coraei from the Cioese expression " the wall of the ten thousand li ; " (2) ai described by Martini and other writers who have co(l)d him, thla wall doeß not and never did exlet ; (3) a Chinese Emperor un doubtedly did conceive the Idea of a great wall from the Gulf of L;lao-Long on the east coast of |£»nau on the west, and this, though never realised, hsd a beginning ; (4) all along the proposed line of the wall square towers of earth, or of earth faced with brlok, were constructed at consider able distances from each other, but these were never joined together by any wall ai was originally intended. In some of the defiles along the route there are walla bat these were intended to close these particular pit sages, or they are merely the walls of villages, and are not part of i larger scheme. Hence the only pact o the scheme of the Great Wall carried ou was the coaatruotiop qf these ecatterec towers ; the rest never went beyond thi brain th*t conceived it, it was never mon than a fancy, and it is now a myth. Thi huge Chinese wall, says Abbe Larr leu, i « huge Chinese lie, and, as for the miliioi ■oldiers which were said to guard it nigh wi i*j> tb»y ire mytt}i llktwiie,
