A Philanthropist tEho Agent General of Vitadatio, Mr S A Palmer, has just intimated a moat remarkable departure. The works of Charles M. Sheldon have sprung into prominence, and are attracting the attention of the entir9 English speaking races of the world and probably others. Mr Palmer, m his generosity, has arranged with the publishers for a quarter million copies of this most noted author's works, and will send to aoy address m the colonies, a copy, on reoeipt of twopence m stampsj or the five copies on receipt of six pence m Btamps, which wili only cover postage, packing, etc Vitadatio'a aim ie not only to cure the people of diseases, but alao to instruct and lead their minds to the nobler aßpirations. The list of books is aa follows:—"In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do ?' " The Crucifixion of Philip Stiong," " His Brother's Keeper," " Maloom Kirk," " Richard Hardy's Seven Days." Mr Palmer is certainly going out of the usual way to reach the people, and practical philantrophy speaks for itself. At anyrate, ho is to be coo mended.

Before Sir -Alfred Milnpr became a Civil servant, he was a journalist. He was on tho staff of SIR ALF- MILNER the PaH Mall AS A JOURNALIST- Gazette m the days when Mr Stead was editor, and the lattfr had written a " Character Sketch" of his former colleague, m the Review of Reviews Mr Stead's srrongest impression of Milner 1 is of his moderation :—" When Milner was working with one at Northumber land street, one of the things he did every day was to go through tha proofs of my leading articles before they were printed, and "tone them down.' He would squirm at an adjective here, reduce a superlative there, and gener ally strike out anything that seemed calculated needlessly to irritate or offend. He was always putting water mmy wiae. He was always combine out the knots m the tangled mane of the Pall Mall Gazette, and when the i lion opened his mouth Milner was : always at band to be consulted as to the advisability of modulating the ferocity of its roar. This ia my ; abiding memory of Milner on the Pall Mall Gazette, He stood at guardian armed with ruthless pen, ever on guard against any expression that seemed strained, or any utterance that rang false by excess of vehemence. And now I am sad y avenged. For by some staange Nemesis, Milner seems to have been doom d to use up as a material for his own despatch, all the strongest overstrained adjectives and expletives which, m the whole three years he was with me, he had combed out of the proofs of the Pall Mall Gazette. They now experience a strange resurrection m the despatch of May 4. It is & leader of the kind which we ÜBed to describe as ' a regular snorter,' and I cannot but smile at thinking how the Milner of other days would have dealt with the telegram of May, had it come beforo 1 ira as a proof of a Pall Mall Gazette leader. But, alas ! there was no Milner to revi c Miiner, and the result is before us." SANDER & »ons JEluca lypti iCactrnet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878.
