THE CALIFORNIAN THISTLE

The following report of a sitting of the Select Committee appointed by th<- Vio'orian Parliament to consider tho ques tion of the eradication of this thistle, wiil show what a serious master land holders will have to contend with, should they not stamp out the pest on its first appear auce. At the meeting of the Committee, Daniol Gates, who was examined as a witness, said ha believed the thistle had been fini brought to the district by seed m honae feed imported from England or Oalifor fornian, and had spread when land came to be cultivated. It hal cost him £1 a plant to destroy tho thistles on his land The best and cheapest remedy was common salt, but it bad the drawback oi making the land ÜBslees for yoara after wards. Another witness named Millet said he had tried very many different things, but the only remedy he found of aDy nee was chloride of lime. The land had depreciated m value owing to the past from about £36 per acre, the price he had paid for it, to about the same number of shillings. J, Forbes, farmer, of Warreiiheip, stated that after all the experiments with obloride there waa soaroaly a paddook m Bungaree without some patches of thistle. JJe waa using 10 toua of salt per acie to dress infected patches. The salt cost him 35a per ton, delivered at the Junotion.

A SYDNEY SHARPER.

Jean Luie, of the Tiobborne perjury case fame, has been committed fur trial at the Sydney Central Polioe Court. The facts of the oase are to this effot : The proseontor, Obarles John Zalgren, a German, possessed of property, beoini acquainted with Luie, and for a oons der able time paid his board and lodging account. Subscqaent'y Lu!e suggested thatZilcren ahoald get married, hinting thit he (Luie) was m a good position to make a good mtch for him. An adver | tisement was inserted In the paper, to whioh a lady replied signing herself Mtas Mulr. Zilgrtn met her end made an appointment for the following evening, but tbe lady did not appear. Next day Z»!gren received tbe following letter : — "Sir, — I am instructed by Miss Muir, late of Balmaln. and berrelativep, to tako proceedings against you for breach of promise of marriage, m which damages will be laid a' £5 0, Please name your solicitor. J. D. Fdmond Fmart, solicitor." Some days later on a writ for breach of promise w»s served upon Zalgren by a person named Thompson. Luie sympathised almcat to tears In the unfortu nate position of his beloved benefaotor, aud having questioned Thompson, eug gested the desiiabllity of a compromise to avoid exposure. He also proposed that tbe prooets server sboald receive a guinea for tho cost of serving the writ. Luie casually Icquired whether the case would require a special jury, to which the answer waß m the affirmative, and that each jaryman's refresher would be £5 a day, so that tho defendant's expenses would run into £1000. Zalg<-00, at the prisoner'? Instigation, paid £150 In cash, with a promissory note for £25 more. Tbe prisoner, m the presence of Thompson, wrote across the writ when the cash w»i> banded over, "This ao'.ion is rquared." Thompson thereupon put hla signature to the words and pocketed tho money. The pair then left togethpr.

WHO IS EMIN PASHA ?

To many it will be a surprise, Bays the I " Quiver," to hear that Emm Pasha is not, after all a native Egyptian, or Copt, or a negro princelct, but a German surgeon of very delicate phynique, with shy, sensitive manners, and a gentle and peculiarly modest bearing. Eduard Schnitzer (he adopted the name of Emm, "the faithful one," on joining the Egyptian service) was born at the pretty little town of Oppein, m the Prussian province of Silesia, on March 28, 1840. He was the son of Ludwig Schnitzer and Pauline his wife. The family were all Protestants and occupied a good position amongst the merchant classes of the district, which is famous for its industrial activity. In 1842 the Schnitzers removed from Oppein to Neisse, where Emm's friends still resido. After a course of study at the Gymnasium (or public school) of Neisse, young Sehoitzer was sent to attend the lectures of the medical professors at the famous University of Breslau. He com pleted his medical education m the hospitals and surgical classes at Berlin, and graduated m 1864. As a boy he had developed a decided taste for the study of natural history and books of travel ; and his friends were not at all surprised to find that he had made up his mind, on taking his degree, to pro ceed to Turkey ; with a view of obtaining employment under the Government of the Sultan. He was appointed on his arrival m Syiia, to the post of surgeon on the stuff of Ismail Hakki Pasha, and served for some time m Antivari and at Scutari; but on the death of the Pasha, m 1873, Schnitzerwent to Constantinople and resigned his commission, and returned home to Neisse, where he occupied his leisure for some months m the further pursuit of his favorite study of natural history. In 1876 he reached what proved to be the turning point of his career. Wearied by the inactivity of his life at Neisse, he made his way to Cairo, and offered his services to the Egyptian Government. Taking the cognomen of Emm, and with the rank of Effendi, he became an offioer of the Khedive and was ordered to join the ■taff of the Governor-General of the Soudan, with his headquarters at Khar toum. From Khartoum Emm was sent to act as chief medical officer of the Equatorial Province, the southernmost limit of Egyptian conquestjon the Nile, of which region General Gordon was then Governor. The hero of Khartoum was able at once to see the value of the young German doctor, and to appreciate those peculiar gifts of character and intellect which distinguished him and rendered him worthy of his confidence and esteem. Gordon found him in valuable as a diplomatist, and sent him from time to time on tours of inspection through the more remote and unsettled districts of the province. He also em ployed him on several important missions to the neighboring tribes and kinglets, and selected him as his second m com mand when he himself visited Usanda, the White Nile, and the populous shores of the Albert Nyanza. In 1877 Emm carried out a successful mission to Kab rega, the troublesome king of Unyoro ; and 1879 he went again to Uganda to arrange the termg of a new treaty jof amity and friendship with Mtesu; the great semi-Arab potentate of Uganda. It is laid that Emm was the only white man whom Mtega wag really afraid of offeodiug.

THE SACKVILLE WEST AFFAIR.

Judqino from the brief particulars which have been furnished by cable, the fuss which has been made over what is known as " The Sackvillo West Affair " is uncommonly like what is colloquially described as " a storm m a teapot." It appears that some Californian lawyer, who represented himself as very much an Englishman, having been born m England and resided for some years m Canada, wrote to Sir Sackville West for bis opinion as to the most suitable candidate for the Presidential election, and that the British Ambassador un guardedly delivered himself of an opinion on the subject ; forgetting, for the moment", that it would havo been wiser for him altogether to hold his peace at an election time, lest the accusation should be made of partisanship on the part of the Government and the country he represented. It seems, indeed, that this was the very object of the question, and that a trap was deliberately Bet for the Ambassador, for election purposes, with a view, if successful, of raising a " cry " which might have the effect of turning the anti-British vote m favor of the candidate not favored by Sir • Sackville West, whose opinion, it was no doubt known beforehand, went m favor of the re-election of Cleveland. The plari succeeded, and President Cleveland and Secretary Bayerd were exceedingly wroth m consequence, for it scorns that they fully recognised that the very worst thing fcir Sackville West could do for Cleveland was openly to avow his (construed into England's) preference for his return. But even though tho British Ambassador was indiscreet, as he doubtless was, the precipitate and ridiculously, extravagant action of both the President himself, and the United States Secretary, m demanding the immediate supercession of the British Ambassador is altogether unjustifiable and cannot he excused even under the excitement caused by the greatest electoral contest of the world. Still, great dignitaries, like the smaller fry of humanity, must make silly exhibitions of themselves occasion ally, for, as was known m the time of the Roman Empire, it is human to err, and no man now, any more than then, is wise at all hours. As to any serious international misunderstanding arising out of so trumpery an affair, that iB all moonshine, and it is only to be regretted that some of the English papers have made themselves simply ridiculous by shrieking about v a national insult," demanding the withdrawal of the American Ambassador at the Court of St James, and saying or doing other egregiously foolish things. The elec tion is now over and we shall know its result to-morrow, and the Sackville West affair may now, having served Its pur pose, be relegated to tho limbo of oblivion.

Statutory Declaration.— l, Franz Raaber Ironbarb, Sandhurst, m the colony of Victoria, Australia, do solemnly and sincerely deolare that on the 25th June, 1877, my Bon Alfred, six years of age, was accidentally hurt with an axe on his knee. lat onoe took all pains to secure medical assistance. However, m roite of all efforts, on the 27th August, 1877, the opinion was given by Dr Maogillivray that an amputation of the injured limb had become imperative, m order to save life. At this juncture I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extraot of the Eucalyptus Globulus, and by the application of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my son within a fortnight out of all danger, ana to-day he is recovered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reaohed that the Extraot referred to was first applied. And I make this solemn declaration, etc. — Fbahz Bubb.
