HORRIBLE DISCOVERY IN A CATHEDRAL

In the prosecution of repairs now being effected on the cathedral at Panama a singular discovery has been made. In the third story of one of the bell towers a doorway la being formed from what was formerly a wide and long opening serving to give exit to the sound of the bells. The lintel of this opening was formed of solid masonry work, cemented over. On Its removal it was found that at some period long antecedent, fifty or perhaps one hundred years ago, a portion of this cement work had been removed, and a child of from perhaps nine to eighteen months of age had been thrust In there alive. Its little wrists and feet were closely tied together, and from the man ner m which the hands were clutched and the feet twisted, it is evident the sufferer had died m the utmost torture.

PRAYING FOR THE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND,

" Oalamo Oarrente " m the Auckland Herald writes :— On the Sunday after the calamity by fire at the Iron and Wood ware Factory, Dunedia, tbe Rev Dr Stuart, of that city, made touching re ference to the disaster. He prayed for the bereaved ones, and paeeing on to the chief pecuniary sufferers by the fire* he included them. "He did not," aaya a listener, " pray m so many words for the Bank of New Zealand, but it was the next thing to it !" Well might " Olvis " ex claim, " The feel nga of the blushiDg bank at this juncture (if by any of it represen tatives it chanced to be present) almost defy speculation . Never since the articles of incorporation were drafted has it been prayed for before, and never nntil the hearts of men me changed will it be prayed for again."

A SPANISH TICHBORNE.

A parallel case to that of the Tichborne claimant is exciting great interest it Spain. At Piaaencia a younp man named Bustagnio Cin»pi> became deranged after the second marriage of his father, and was confined m the lunatic asylum of San Bandilio A few years afterwards hs father died, bequeathing a large fortune to his widow and his eon. Pot tie latter also died, and his death and burial were duly attested by the superintendent of the asylum. Quite recently, however, a spurious Kuetagnio Campo presented himself to the widow, and claimed half the property. He turned out to be a dia charged lunatio named Santa Olalla, who had known the real heir m the asylum, and had learned from him all about his family affairs. But the extraordinary part of the story is that Olalla is declared to be Campo by the editor of one of the local papers, a man of great probity and Intelligence ; and by an architect of the city, Dju Ricente Jfaredes, who was one of the bosom frlendß of the deceased m their youth, and who fainted on seeing Olalla, exclaiming, " Yes, yes \ it U really my dear Euatagnlo ! " In fact, tbe claimant's cause is espoused by a large number of persons Id Plasencia.

A TESTAMENTARY DIFFICULTY.

The following is from the Chrittchurch Press: — v When a la>man — or still better, a lay woman — has no skill m accurate writing there is no limit to the poeaibili ties of ambiguity. A testatrix has recently given the Court of Adpeal a very neat little pozzle of this kind to work out. She bequeathed a portion of her property to her '{cousin Harriet Cloak.' That seemed simple enough ; only, unfortu nately for its simplicity, she hadn't a cousin Harriet Cloak. There was a Harriet Cloak who wasn't a cousin, and there was a cousin Harriet who waß'nt a Cloak — and yet m a way the Harriet Cloak was a ccusin for ehe had married a couain, and m a way the cousin Harriet was a CLak, because she was a Cloak before she became the wife of a certain Mt Crane. The tning aeemed as near a tie as possible between the claims of the two Harriets. If one Judge decided one way, it was a dead certainty the next Judge who was appealed to would decide the other way. That was exactly what happened. The Court of First Instance decided that •my couain Harriet Cloak ' meant the cousin Harriet whose maiden name was Cloak, and not the Harriet who had only become a cousin and a Cloak by marriage From thia decision there was an appeal which resulted m two of the three Judges reversing the decision of the Court below. The matter could not have beei better balanced, for there were exactly two Judges on each aide The testatrix who produced this neat complication and divided so evenly judicial opinion gains for hereelf a place m the law reports, but the honor is pro bably dear at the price of that portion of her beque&t whioh will now go to neither of the Harriets, but into the ci.piciouß pockets of the law. After all there is sense m the traditional custom of lawyers, when they meet on festive occasions, of drinking to the health of testators who make their own wills."

THE MAEQUIS TSENG ON CHINA.

Those who knew tuu iwaiquis TBeng m this country (says a London correspou dent) will never forget bis radient iac-> and the genuine amiability of his char&oter. He is a statesman withal. The article he has written for the Asiatic Quarterly Review shows how much tie tias profited by his contact with western civilisation and mudee of thought. The key to tha article may ba found m this passage:— "By light of the burniog palace, which had been the pride and delight of her Emperors, she (China) commence** to see that she had been asleep while all the world were up and doing ; that she had been sleeping m the vacuous vortex of the storm of foroas wildly whirling around her." In other words, China is now fully awake According to the Marquis, she has betn taught a lesson which Europe can hardly yet be said to have learnt She is net of opinion " that it is oniy with blood that the stain of blood can be wiped out " On the contrary, she thinks that "the stain of defeat lies m the defects and mistakes which led to it," and that m order to wipe It oat the best way is to institute the necessary reforms. For this reason China Is now chiefly concerned with her coast defences and the reorgnisatlon of her army. The Marquis denounces the cruel or inhospitable treatment which the Chinese experience In various oivilised countries; and he also makes some significant remarks on the nggreesive temper of the European inhabitants of the foreign settlements In China. No other Chinese statesman has ever pro duced so great an impression upon English public opinion as the Marquis, the reason being that be employe RhglUb Ideas as effectively as we do oorgaivsß, and also that we have begun to attach a high value to the Chinese alliance.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Should the French Government think fit to pick up the glove which the " honest broker." with bis usual brutal frankness, has chosen to ,throw down a study of the military resources of these two great powers will possess universal interest. It is not merely the foroes on paper that affect the question—ln these thi peace establithment of France Is nearly 80,000 men larger than that of her rival — but their convenience of mobilisation and the power of the country to replace losses. The French standing army consists of Mi regiments of the line, each of four battalions of four com panies, with two depot companies, 80 battalions of Chasseurs & pied, four regiments of Zouaves, three regiments of Tirailleurs Al^erlens, one foreign legion, three battalions of African light infantry, 77 regiments of cavalry (heavy and light), 38 regiments of field artillery, with a soluble complement of workmen, arti fioers and pontonnieis. The total strength, attached and unattached, included m the budget for 1886. was 523,833 < fficers and men, and 131385 horits. Taking Into acoount tbß various olaeses of reserves available, France has about 2 500,000 men at her disposal, and indu ing the various classes nf able bodied men whose services have been dis pensed with she may command a grand total of 3,750,000. The peac« strength of the army is as follows :— 26,974 com missioned officers. 42 720 nono mmls stoned officers, 454 130 men ; total, 523,824, with 2694 guns and 110 B^o horses. On the outbreak of war France would be able to raise an army, including the reserve and territorial f-TCts, of 2,000,000 men, #ith about : 000 »uns of which 1,400,000 m n are field aud reserve troops, and over 500,000 territorial troops The army of tbe firat line Is estimated by French an horities at 2,151,460 men, and that of the second Una at 2 0)7,196 mtn, or a total of 4 108 656. 3he whole of France is divided into 18 military regions, each under a general of division, and subdivided into districts of the same circumference as the departments, under a general of brigade. The fortified places have Paris for their centre, those on the German frontier being 3 tint class fort resses, 1 second o'ass, 2 third, and 9 fourth class On the Belgium frontier there are 4 fir-t class, 8 second, 6 third and 6 fourth class. The Ital'an frontier possesses 3 first class fo tresses and 11 de tiohed forte, Un tbe Mediterranean c<>»Bt are the gie t naval harbor and arsenal of Toulon, 1 second cUss and 21 fourth class forts. On the Atlantic coast are 3 fiiat olass, 3 second, 2 third and 17 fourth class I forts ; and on the channel coast 1 first claas, 2 second and 16 fou th class works.

The German empire is divided Into nine fortress dtatrlotß : Eonlgsbe'rg, Dam zip, Posan, Berlin, Mainz, Mcz, Cologne, Altonn. and Mmich, containing 17 forti. fled camps, and 26 other fortresses. The strength of the Imperial army on » pe*ea footiDg is 445, 424. <• fibers and men, 81.000 horeeß, and 1374 pieces of fleld artillery. Iq addition t hese are 1686 autgeona, 783 paymasters, 619 vets., 737 armorers, and 93 saddlers The war strength Is more than treble this numbtr, being e&ieed to 1,535,4C0 < fibers and men, 312,000 horsei and 2500 gons. The railway and telegraph Bervioes m war time employ over 8000 officers and men and 5400 horsei, The Lsndsturm and one-year volunteer number a reserve < £ nearly 1,C00,000, and th* total available fr rce of all clauses is estimated at 5,670,000. The army is divided into companies, battalions, regiments, and corps d' owe, the war strength of a bat. trfhon being 1 002 men, divided into four companies of 250 each, commanded by a mounted officer. The corps d' armee, with the exception of the guard*, are locally distributed through the empire* Each consists of two divisions of iafan ry a cavalry division of fi or regiments, with two horse artillery batteries attached, be sides the two cavalry regiments attached to the infantry division, and a reserve of artillery of fix fleld and one flying battery. E*ch corps d' armee has m addition a bat* talion ot pioneers and one of train. Such are the means for land combat at the disposal of France and Germany. It must, however, be borne m mind that the latter Power has all her vat force m hand ready for concentration, not scattered abroad at Madagascar, Oocbln China, or other places, which the insane * foreign i policy of the Republio has led her to annex. Another element m the calcula tion Is the superior physique (except to far as eyesight is concerned) possessed by the Teutons, and their increasing po^nU tion. Before the Franco-Prussian war the population of the Stat s. now fora ing the Ge imn empire, wes ?8 000,000— it is now 47.000,000 ; while France, during the fftnne period. h»s on'y increased from 36,000 000 to 38 000 000

At tea, of coi ae, the superiority of France is unquestioned, her total number of w»r yea els afloat being nearly 400, In oladfng 22 squadron Ironclads; while Germany possesses only 96 ships, 13 of which aie ironolada.

Glanolng at the establishments of other continental power* likely to take part In a struggle, which may become genera l , we find tha pencn strength of Austm-Sanpary to be 17,867 officers, 268,655 rank and file ; total, 286,422, with 766 gars *ni 60,362 horses. War strength, 32,785 officers, 1,044,319 men total 1,077,104, with 1679 guns and 211,462 ho- ees, Russia, peace strength, 807,242. (27.441 officer*), with 1632 gons and ) 29. 736 hoi nee ; war strength, 2,289,333, 4016 guns and 464,686 horaee* Of this total, 1,241,013 belong to the aotive Briny, and 1,064,013 to the reserve army, 41,4 86 are enrolled m the frontier battalions, while the Cossacks foim a force of 142,821 combatants. There is, b>Blde«, a territorial reserve of nearly 2,000,000 men, and a national militia of 1,200,000 men, or nearly 6,000,000 men all told. Italy, peace strength, 215,000 ■ war strength, 2,400 000; and Turkey 1,161, C00 men, 3348 guns and 95,000 hor-es,

THE TONGA OUTRAGE.

An Auckland telegram from the Preei Association gives the text of letters received by the Rev M. Bavin, Welt y*v Minster of that city, from the Rev Mr Moulton, relative to the present deplor able condition of affairs m Tonga- Be> ferring to the statement that David Tln ; , a Native Minister, had co- fe«Bed tv having been one of he orluimtors of th> scheme to murder the Riv Shirley Bakt>r, M> Moultoa cays:— "Don't ! c ieve word of it. He waa accidentally m»oo acquainted with it the night before, and that Is all. He erred Is not acting vu the imperfect Information he received, and reporting it. As the Court was held with closed doors it Ib impossible to say accurately what had taken place, but 1 heard from a creditable source that David's statement, that he was only madt accqualnted with it the night before, was confirmed by the two moßt impor tant witnesses. Nor do I think that my head student, John Auckan. could have been privy to it." Finally, Mr Moulton asks his Wesleyan friends m New Zea- I laud to suspend judgment, and con cludes. "I know that when the timt eomee when all shall be revealed, it wiil be seen that the Wesley an s of Tonga hay« done nothing to be ashamed of."
