Halifax creditors attached his personal effects, but got nothing for their pains. The Public Accounts Committee have lately been investigating Rideau Hall, the Vice-regal residence of Lord Stanley, Governor-General of Canada, in regard to the furniture and equipments and the ex pence of running the place. The alleged extravagance of the Governor-General is the scandal of the time. The expenditure during Lord Dufferin's incumbency was 4000dol. This year it is over 40,Q00d01. Even last year it was not much over 20,000d015, With 60,000d0l for salary, 40,000d0l for a residence, and 10,000doi for travelling expenses, the Canadian people are beginning to ibid their ruler a pretty expensive article. Jean Blackett gave notice in the Montreal Provincial Legislature, in March, that he would ask its consent to introduce a Bill for the construction of a railway along the north shore of the St- Lawrence, from Quebec to St. Charles Bay on the Labrador coast. The applica tion sets forth that such a road will open to the trade ofthe West, British Columbia, Cliina, Japan, and Australia, a route much shorter and more economical for the transportation of mails, passengers, and merchandise to England and Europe than any other railway upon the Contintent, and as a military road it will be of much advantage to the Empire.

THE DUC D'ORLEANS.

After the sentence of the Due D'Orleans to two years' imprisonment for endeavor ing to foment a revolt had been set aside by the French Cabinet, and he was about leaving by express train on Febru ary 23rd for the Spanish frontier, he was taken therefrom by officials, and re manded to prison. The cause for this action on the part of President Carnot was a declaration by Manyau, a Boulan gisfc Deputy, that if the Duke of Orleans had been pardoned he would demand similar action in favor of the strikers con victed in the provinces. To avoid trouble arising from this movement the duke was re-incarcerated. He was subsequently removed from the Conciergerie to the] prison afc Clairyaux, where he will be; treated as a political prisoner, and the list of persons admitted to see him cur tailed;

THE POPE.

A special cable, dated Rome, March Ist, Is printed in the New York papers of the 2nd to the effect that the Pope is seriously ill, notwithstanding all denials. Those well informed think his death is not far off, and that the recent conclave received from the Pontiff an indication to that effect. He desired to recommend Cardinal Yanautelle as his successor. The latter is an Italian, born in 1834, and created Cardinal in 1887. Following this, on March 2nd, came a dispatch, saying that the Pope was eighty years old on that day, and that the next would be the twelfth anniversary of his pontificate. In honor of the two anniversaries he gave a reception to the College of Cardinals* Replying to their congratulations the Pontiff declared his intention to earnestly study the social questions, and said he hoped to receive the assistance of the European powers in solving the problem. High Mass was celebrated in the Sistine Chapel*

BUFFALO BILL AT THE VATICAN.

On March 3rd. one of the strangest spectacles ever seen within the walls of the Vatican was the dramatic entry of •* Buffalo Bill" at the head of his Indians and cowboys. When the priestly, secular and military Court were assembled in the midst of a glow of splendour, there sud denly appeared a host of Indians in feathers and blankets, carrying toma hawks and knives. The Indians and, cowboys were ranged in the outer corri dors of the ducal hall. "Buffalo BUI" (Colonel Cody) and his partner in the show, "Nati Salisbury" were "escorted into the Sistine Chapel by the Chamber lains and greeted by W. T. Sherman's daughter, there present. A Roman Prin cess invited Colonel Cody to a place in the tribune of the Roman nobles. When the Pope appeared the cowboys bowed and so did the Indians. "Rocky Bear" knelt and made the sign of the cross. The Pontiff leaned towards the rude groups and blessed them. He looked at Cody intently as he passed and the scout bent low as he received the Pontiff's benedic tion.

The work this morning was of an un important character, none of the horses engaged for the big events being sent out with time-making intentions.

The other horses exercised were Dreadnought, Chintz, Serf, Slave, Liverpool, and Petroleuse. Count Gotlin cantered a smart 4 furlongs. Marco beat Riudolph in a short spin after steady work. Antaeus did a mile and a quarter strong, and is looking well.

GERMAN MORALS.

Anotliex* West End. Case.

[per press association.]

(Received March 31, at 12.7 p.m.) Berlin, March 30.

A great sensation has been caused in Berlin by the discovery that the house of the wife of a Government official of good position has been the constant scene of orgies of the most immoral and disgusting character. The place, it appears, has been attended by persons of high rank, and in it young ladies of position have been ruined.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.

The boy was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence when called on.

Snares Lighthouse.

(REUTERS TELEGRAPH —COPYRIQHT.)

(per press association.)

(Received March 31, 0.35 p.m.) Melboubne, March 31. Sir J. Gillies has received word from the Admiralty, that they do not consider the lighthouse on the Snares work on which Imperial funds should be expended. Replies from other colonies show that there is little likelihood of the proposal being supported, and the probability is that no further action will be taken in the matter.

A Thiet to the Last.

A story illustrating how the^ ruling instinct is strong in death is told in con nection with the appointment of the Rev Henry White to be chaplain of the House of Commons. While curate at the East End some years ago he was called upon one night to attend a dying man. In the room to which he was conducted he found that, though it was squalid, the candles were in massive candlesticks, while many articles of portable property, strangely at variance with poverty, were strewn about. As he spoke' some words of comfort he observed a gleam in the sick man's eye, and following his glance saw that it. rested on the slight gold watch chain that hung from the pocket of his waistcoat: Leaning over the man he prayed for him, !the wife sobbing bitterly. Where the amen should have come in he heard the death rattle in the man's tfiroat, and moved away. Then he discovered that the dead man's fingers were entwined in his watch chain, and as he quickly started back the watch came out and fell on the bed. The map was a noted burglar and. pickpocket, and even in the throes of death had been unable to resist-fcb« *— tationunconsdn'~.i~ - *  ' ..^oxj put in his way.

ENTERTAINMENT AT S. RAKAIA

[from our own correspondent.] On Friday the best amateur dramatic entertainment given here was brought before the public by a number of ladies and gentlemen of the district. The pro ceeds were to go towards painting and repairing St. Mark's Church. The Town Hall was well filled ; the stage presenting a very pleasing effect, being nicely arranged by those taking part. The pro ceedings opened with a pianofort duet by Misses Bilton and A. W. Hardy, after which the farce "Freezing a Mother-in-Law," kept the audience in close attention for about an hour, and tho performers fully deserved the repeated applause accorded. The cast of characters was as follows :— "Mr Watnuff" (attached to the past), Mr Boulnois; "Ferdinand Swift" (his nephew), Mr W. B. Dixon; "Water Litherland " (attached to Emily), Mr W. Dixon ; " Mrs Watnuff" (attached to the memory of her parents), Mrs Buchanan; " Emily " (attached to Walter), Miss Roe. After a short interval and another cluefc by Misses Bifton and, A, w, Hardy, the

screaming farce "Whitebait at Green wich " was produced. Mr W. B. Dixon ,taking the character of "Mr W. Buz zard ;" Mr W. Dixon that of "Mr Glimmer ; " Mr Boulnois that of " John Small;" Miss Ferguson that of "Miss ' Lucretia Buzzard;" and Miss Roe that of "Sally," a servant. All the performers were repeatedly applauded, and on the conclusion were called before the curtain. Individual praise would be invidious, suffice it to say that all did their best and all did well. It is likely that the Company will be asked shortly to repeat the enter tainment in aid of some worthy object, when no doubt they will respond and have another bumper house. Much pains have been taken by them all to have all their parts well up, and it must be a satisfaction to them to know that their efforts met with success.
