THIS HACKNEY TRAINING SCHOOL.

The "Daily Chronicle" of May 3 states that, the Hackney Board of Guardians dis cussed Rt some length a special report brought up by a committee appointed to in vestigate allegations of cruelty against a nurse at Brentwood Schools (Ellen Gillespb). The report stated there was evidence to show that the children had been treated with con siderable cruelty. They were compelled to do what was known as "basket drill," carrying baskets of clothing about for periods varying between half an hour and three hours ; they had been made to kneel with their bare legs upon the wire guards sur rounding the hot-water pipes; they had been knocked down and got cut heads as a consequence; the nurse had struck them with keys and cut their heads open ; she had knocked their heads against the walls, beaten their naked bodies with stinging nettles, immersed their heads in pails of water, and continually punished the children without authority. The board - decided to institute a prosecution upon the evidence, and as was announced in our cablegrams on F/idaj, Nurse Gillespie was sentenced to five years' imprisonment.

N.Z. TROUT.

Windsor and Eton Express, May 19. A very pleasant surprise was in store for those gentlemen of fclhe Windsor and Eton Angling Preservation Society who assembled on the 9th inst. at the house of the chairman, Mr A. Brown, of Eton, to judge of the possibilities of trout arriving in this country from the Antipodes in an edible condition. The fish partaken of weighed 8J pounds, and was one of several sent over by Mr A. H. Shury, of Ash barton, Hew Zealand. Additional in terest was taken in the experiment by the detention of the fish (the ship being six weeks overdue), also the probability of its being bred from the ova sent out from the Thames some seventeen years ago; and on examination, the markings and shape were identical with that of a goed con ditioned Thames fish. When received by Mr Bambridge, of Kton, it was frozen hard, and two days elapsed before being < thoroughly thawed out, but when served up there was no difference in appearance, and none could bo detected in flavor from that of a fresh caught fieh. It was put to those assembled what should be their re port to their brother anglers in New Zet land, and it was unanimously carried that the word " excellent" would ber* onvey their opinion. A vote of thankb *raa ac corded Messrs Shury md Bambridge for the trouble taken, and a very pleasant evening spent. . . . One of the fish, weighing 5| pounds, sent to the Rev Mr Weekes, of Sutton-at-Hoae, Dan ford,' brother-in-law of Mr Shury, has been re ported to Mr Bambridge, of Eton, as arriving " in excellent condition," and the writer adds, *' we found ie very delicious."

COURLING.

The Mcrcliistonian. The keen followers of football and golf claim for their respective sports thp honor of being the national game of Scotland, but all things considered, this proud distinction might, with more justice, be assigned to the "roaring game"—Scotland's "am game o' curling ;" unless indeed curling be lifted above the sphere of common games, and be des* scribed in language of the Free Kirk elder, who remarked, when taken to task on a Saturday for engaging in a game so near the Sabbath—"Curling is na a game, its only a pleasing dlvarsioa." Be that as it may, there is certainly no other sport which stirs the staid and grave Scot into such wild action and joyous enthusiasm. There is no other game which co such an extent winds its charms through all classes and conditions of men, laud brings and binds ,th3m together in the bonds of good fellowship Under the sod, it is said, all are equal—in life all are equal only on tbe ice. When the frost has been biting for some nights, and has at last laid fast hold of the pond in the wood, all leal men and true in the parish have a common topic that lies very close to their hearts. As friend meets friend, "keen and clear" is the word, "clear and keen "is the reply. A brother of the broom who may not have addressed a word to a neighbor for half-a-year will venture to remark, "I'm thinking the ice will be in grand order the morn," and very speedily thereafter the two sworn foes will forget the past, and become united in the coming joys of the morn, j On the morrow, blessed with a clear sky and ' a nipping frost, the laird and the crofter, the minister and his man, the doctor and the blacksmith, the sheriff and the poacher, may meet on terms of perfect equality on the small pond in the wood, playing for or againt each other's brooms, most likely under the " skip " or leader ship of the poacher and the minister's man. " Ours is a game tor duke or lord, Lairds, tenants, hinds, and a 9 that, Oar parsons, too, wha preach the word, Whiles ply the broom for a' that, For a' that and a' that, The chief that aoops and plays the best, Is greatest man for a' that." A phrase now common en the ice, "Gle that yane saxty days," owea its ori gin to a blending of social ranks, such as we have described. In the course of a game played at Peebles, the sheriff of the county shouted down to his skip, a noted local poacher, whom the sheriff had on more than one occasion sent to prison for illegal fishing, " What do you want, Jock ?" " Div ye see that stane, Shirra V shouted back the poacher. " A half of it, Jock." "Wall then, Shirra, give that yane saxty days." There has been some considerable discussion as to whether curling really took its origin in Scotland, or waa imported from the Continent. Some are of opinion that the game was introduced into Scotland by the Flemings, and they base their opinion on the fact that the word curling is derived from khiyten, and was in fact called hitting in Scotland at one time. Others maintain that the game is thoroughly Scotch, both in origin and character, and trace the word curling to the Scotch word curr, to stoop down in the position assumed by a {curler in delivering his shot. The game has been played in Scotland, anil its merits and fame celebrated in prose and verse, for upwards 0 300 years.

ASSASSINATION OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENT

FRIUBIGEI FRauSIIXBN T ]

[per prkss association.]

Paris, Jane 25 President Carnot is dead. He was stabbed last night on leav ing the Palais de Commerce in Lyons. The would -be assassin darted out from among a small knot of onlookers and threw himself on the President. He was promptly arrested. M, Carnot was going to the theatre, "where he intended to spend the evening. The assassin in named Giovanni Santo, and is an Italian. The popu lace of Lyons are wrecking the Italian cafes in revenge, and it is probable that blood will be spilt. The wound was in the region of the liver. The President lingered three hours and a quarter, and died at a quarter to one a.m. He had previously visited the Exhibition, and held a reception, and thence had a triumphal progress to the theatre. High festivities were to be held. The streets were resound ing with cries of " Vive Carnot," when suddenly Santo jumped on to the step of the carriage, under pretence of presenting a petition, and drew a dagger which was concealed for the moment by a paper packet. On receiving the fatal blow @arnot sank backwards, and, uttering a groan, became livid. The Prefect of Lyons, who was in the carriage, knocked the assassin down. The President was removed to the prefecture in an unconscious state, but recovered when the doctors probed the wound, and exclaimed, " How you are hurting me." The Archbishop of Lyons administered extreme unction, and while receiving the last rites of the Church Carnot murmured twice, "I am dying." Then he said, "I am very glad my friends are here," and so ex pired. Santo had lived in France six months, but only arrived in Lyons yesterday. He has given no explana tion yet of his motive ; his age is only twenty-two. The mob nearly lynched him before the police could get him away. Upon the news reaching the theatre the women shrieked and fainted, thenjthe men howled for vengeance and death to the assassin, and rushed madly into the streets. All the illumi nations were instantly quenched. The news was not generally known for sometime in Paris, where Madame Carnot and family were. The fury of the people of Lyons is terrible. M. Dupuy, the Premier, upon receiving intelligence of the fatal deed, sum moned the the Presidents of the Senate and Chamber prior to holding a Cabinet Council. Santo is supposed to be the avenger of the Anarchist Henry, who was executed last month. London, June 25. , The English newspapers deplore the * President's death, They appear to to believe it was an act of revenge for the recent executions of Anarchists. (Received June 26. 10.50 a.m.) I Paris, June 25. I There is general mourning through out France at the President's death. Madame Carnot and her two sons have arrived in Lyons, where enormous i crowds assembled and extended them a sympathetic greeting. Madame i Carnot remained in the death chamber for srme time. The body was clad in eve ing dress, with the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor. It will pro bably lie in state in Paris. The mob wrecked the Italian cafe from which the assassin emerged. The Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the English Government wired mes sages of condolence to Madame Carnot. The European sovereigns conveyed their sympathy, and the Emperor of Germany personally wired to Madame Oarnot. The Italian Embassy is guarded. It is reported that Scotland Yard, London, warned the French police a fortnight ago of an Anarchist plot against the deceased. The new President will be elected at Versailles on Wednesday. (Eeceived June 26,11 30 a.m.) Mblboukne, June 26. The Premier of Victoria has cabled to Madame Carnot a message of con dolence. Marie Francois Sadi Carnot was born at Limoges in August, 1837. He was grandson of Carnot, "the Organiser of Victory," under the French Convention, and was a civil engineer by profession. At the age of twenty he entered as a student the Ecole Polytechnimie, and passed with distinction to a school for special instruction in the \ building' of roads and bridges. During the siege of Paris in 1871, he was appointed Prefect of the Seine Inferieure, and as Com misaary-Gfeneral gave valuable assistance in organising the defences of that depnrtment. In February, 1871, he took his seat in the National Assembly as Deputy for Cote d ror, and subsequently for Beaume. In 1886 he took office in the Brisson Cabinet as Finance Minister. On the resignation of M. Grdvy, in December, 1887, M. Carnot was elected President of the Kepublic His term of office would have expired next year.

Wellington, June 26. Flags over public buildings and on shipping are flying half-mast to-day out: of respect to the memory of the French President.
