The French Navy.

(Received April 16,10.35 a.m.) Pakis, April 15 Mr Lockroy, President of the sub committee appointed to enquire into the state of the French navy, reports that in reality it surpasses what was expected, and disorder prevailsthrough out the administration. Nothing is prepared for mobilisation in case of war. Stores are depleted, and the j torpedo vessels are unseaworthy. The Committee declare that the negligence of the administration is inexcusable, and demand the infusion of fresh blood. Admiral Vallon has furnished a report in wnich he states that the ironclad Magenta (nineteen guns) is liable to capsize at the first impact, and he urges Government to cease building ironclads.

The Late Captain Wilson

The unfortunate Captain Wilson, who was slaughtered with the company under his command in the Matabele war early in the year, was engaged to be married to a Morayshire lady who is at present resident in Lancashire. In one of the last letters that passed between Captain Wilson and the lady who was shortly to be his wife, a jocular reference was made to securing Lobengula's '* best Sunday assegai" as an addition to her collection of African curios. Captain Allan Wilson was the son of the late Mr Robert Wilson, of Fochabers, He was 37 years of age. To those who had the privilege of shar ingschoolboy sports with young Wilson, it was a matter of no little surprise (writes one who knew him intimately) when it became known that he had entered the local branch of the Aberdeen Town and County Bank. He played cricket in a way that excited the envy of those who were not mere duffers. He could give all his comrades yards in throwing the hammer and in putting the stone; in j running and jumping, as in all manly sports, he was the first, not only among his equals in age, but also among full- j grown men. Nevertheless, young Wilson did stick to the bank counter until his apprenticeship was out. When the period of young Wilson's j release came, volunteers were being asked to join the Cape Mounted Police in active operations against the Gaikas and Galekas, and that force had the good fortune to secure, as one of its recruits, this young bank clerk. He saw much hard fighting with them against the Kaffirs during the three years from 1878 80, and rapidly rose from the ranks to the position of sergeant. For his personal daring during these struggles, and particularly for his brilliant services at the assault and capture of Mooerosie Mountain, where he "was the first to plant foot on the top, he was awarded the Kaffir war medal, and on the expiration of this year's engagement he was at once offered a lieutenantcy in the Baauto Mounted Corps. With this force also he saw much active service, and on the conclusion of the Basuto war he re gained in the country. As a hunter, a mining prospector, and an explorer, he traversed many regions not pre viously visited by any European. During these wanderings he acquired a vast amount of practical knowledge of the country and its people and languages. It is perhaps unnecessary to refer to the incidents of the present campaign, but; in all Captain Wilson .has borne himself manfully. His father died many years ago, and his mother was buried only the other day in the old churchyard at Dipple.

The Parisian Cabman.

Idler. The Parisian cabman, with his buff coat and glazed hat, his red face and fiery eloquence, aloft on the box of his ramshackle equipage, snaps his whip truculently, and rules by fear rather than by love. Yet tickle this Tartar, and you shall find a mere human Frenchman—a gamin of larger growth. His weakness is his fondness for a joke. Though essentially a humorist, he can, however, on occasions change his note, and pip© pathetically. Should an acci dent befall his vehicle during your occupancy, he will abandon himself to ftparoxsym of frantic grief, compute the loss and teli in moving accents of his wife and chifdren, whose bread will be taken from their mouths by the mishap. But if your fingers thereupon make instinctively for your pocket, l-estrain them ;he is insured. He pays & small monthly premium to a cab in surance company, and in *he case of a smash-up only the company suffers. A playful intimation that you are aware of this circumstance will do won ders to console him. Th«re was in days gone by a cabman who made such a good thing out of accidents that he ended by adopting them as # speciality He confined his labours to those quarters of the town chiefly saffected by the English, and his system was to pick up a benevolent-looking English tourist (by preference a lady), and break * shaft. He knew a method of tanning a corner which no shaft could resist. Then he would beat his breast, and shake his fist at heaven, call the universe to witness that he was a poor man, who would be ruined by the sum it cost to get his cab repaired; ring in his wife and children, though the unprincipled creature was a bachelor, and-—what could a benevolent-looking tourist,do but help him out ? TJae Parisian cab man is supposed to be cruel to his horse; but that depends upon his mood. When he is fcappjr he will smile upon his horse, and give it lumps of sugar; when the world is out of tune with him, he will whack it, call it Bismarck, pne wry tot

day, toiling up Montmartre, I was pleased to see my cabman get down and walk ; so, not to be behind him in quality of mercy, I got down and walked too, observing which he got back and drove. Spare the horse and spoil the " cabby"! On another scorching day I had to cross the Place de la Concorde, only a distance of a hundred yards, hardly worth a cab fare, so to a cabby and asked if he would take me for a franc. He descended from his box, motioned me to mount it, jumped into the Victoria and answered " No, bourgeois, but you may take me."

The Licensing Elections.

Dunedin, April 16. The Colonial Secretary, replying to Mr William Hutchison, says that in the matter of ballot papers no instructions were issued by Government to the return ing officers respecting section 17 and the third schedule, or upon any other matter connected with the conduct of the licens ing elections and the local option poll. As ,to informals, Government consider it un desirable to furnish a legal opinion, as the matter is coming before the Courts. Government promises enquiry into all cases improperly struck off the roll on receiving a list of the names.

The Happy Czar.

Bank and position are not every thing. Take, for example, the Czar, of all the Russias. He walks and talks, eats and drinks and sleeps (s*ys the London " Daily Telegraph ") under the perpetual shadow of death. If half the accounts be true which come from the splendid and solitary recesses of the Russian palaces, no month passes ■without some intimation that the enemies of his throne and person can menace him through all the triple barriers of guards and safeguards which surround his Imperial Majesty. He may find words of treason in the golden cigarette case which he opens when he would smoke, on the back of his dinner menu, upon the blotting pad when he signs despatches, or beneath the pillow of his couch. The trusted attendant of his privacy may b© sold to the conspirators, bid kitchen may not be safe against them, nor his study, not even the chapel where he worships. When he walks abroad his path must be heedfully cleared and protected, the walls and floors of his palaces must be searched before he visits them, and his journeys by railway necessitate a minute inspection of the line, with often a cordon of soldiers to keep it from point to point. Amid all his grandeur and vast power " he doth live a man forbid," peace and security can not be so much aa known to him, for the strongest nature is not proof against the cowardly torture thus perpetually inflicted. One does, in deed, become in a certain way in durated to such an existence as this, and the patient fortitude of the Czar is said to be remarkable. Far more anxious for those most dear to him and for his empire than for him self, he has—so far as mortal man may do it—proudly habituated his mind to the situation, and com mits his safety to Providence and to the faithful eyes and hands which loyally protect him. Of manliest stature, strength and character, he faces these daily perils of sovereignty as few living men would, accepting the bilbter fact that the Imperial Majesty of Russia must trample down Anarchy at considerable risk of catastrophe. With unshaken fidelity he performs day by day the duties of his throne, loving Russia all the more because, I like his Imperial father, he may have to die for her. We believe that bis Imperial Majesty deserves npt only the admiration and respect of the ciyihsed world, but its gratitude for the heroic sense of honour and duty with which he confronts a position full of too much trial and unrest for the strongest, one that might well cause a less royaJ 01 less ujaseMsh mind to seek angrj escape in measures of terrible repres sion, or in foreign war,

Hiitt Premier.. Wellington, April 16. The Premier returned to Wellington by tha Ovalau last night. The Printers. The Wellington Typographical Society has decided to suggest to the other Typo graphical Societies in the colony the ex pediency of holding a conference at Wel lington prior to the session in order to deal with such matters as the importation from abroad of job printing, the importa tion of stereotype matrices, and the gra tuitous supply by English firms of printed bill heads to local tradesmen as a me Ana of advertising some of the said firms' jwn wares. " Salted " Invoice*. A case is being heard in the Supreme Court to-day before Judge Richmond which is of considerable interest to im porters. A. E. Grimm and Co., of Ham burg, is suing John Manttan, of Welling ton, to recover £55 12s, amount of a bill of exchange accepted by defendant in favor of plaintiffs, in paymenb of a ship ment of Austrian chairs. The defence is that the invoice sent with the chairs for i Customs purposes did not disclose the true value of the goods in the principal i market of the country of export, and in consequence the goods were seized by the Customs authorities. The Customs Act provides that if invoices sent for Customs purposes give an under value to the goods, the prise of the goods cannot be recovered.
