A Story of the Late Cecil Rhodes.

The late Mr Cecil Rhodes', like Lord r Rcaehery, had a strong dislike to sit- i ting for his portrait. The beat por-' trait of Mr Khodea hangs today with Ite face to the wall in the studio of an !£ U p]ieh RA. Yielding to tba wishes of a friend (aaye Mr Lacy, ia the Sid ney Morning Herald), Rhodes con. seated to aits for bis portrait, and the flomraiwion waa givea to Mr Luke Fiidea, It happened to bo a period of j unusual storm and stress, which, »ctiog upon la tamper not constitutionally | placid, brought Mr Rhodes to the studio day after day io increasingly irascible mood. Me addressed the artiab ia tones and terms unfamiliar to all R.A. He pettishly declined to follow directions as to where he should sit* declarioe that if Mr Fides conld not.paint him as he pleased to sUtion himself he mast leave it alone. Une day Mr Fi'de®, at tho end of the tether of hia patience, decided to leave it alone. He quietly informed hia im perious visitant that he should decline to receive him any more. Mr Khodt b, somewhat to his astonishment, was politely conducted to the door, with an assurance that it would not again be cp?ned for him. This was a rather costly reprisal, since it ol coarae meant forfeiture of the exceptionally hand some fee proffered with the commission. The portrait was bo nearly fiaiehed that it would not take long to com piste. It is to be hoped that Mr Fildeawili find time to finish the Rhodes portrait for the forthcoming exhibition.

Remarkable Case of Extortion.

A remarkable case of extortion, complicated by kidnapping and a fraadalent confession obtained by vio lence, came on for hearing before the E'oirefe Ass?ze9 at Orleans, France, on April 16. Mine. Lefebvre, an old lady of independent meana, entrusted her interests to a country banker named Force. An a result of disastrous specn lation, Mm?. Lefebvre lost about £5000, which baa her two sons, a doc tor and a tradesman, attributed to BBgloo6 on the parfe of the banker. They determined to recover the money by compalaion, and laid a trap for M Force. When he arrived at the house the brothers seized and searched the banker, bound him hand aad foot, and at might drove him to a lonely country residence, where they beat him unmer cifolly, and compelled him, ender a threat of totating his feet at the fire, to lign a confeseicn th^fe he had em bezzled £120,000 of Mme. Lefebvre'e money. The brothers then left She backer tied up for three days and two nights, during which they visited and ransacked bis house. When he was set at liberty M Force lodged a com plaint against his assailants, and they were arrested. The case, which has caused immense sensation, was not concluded when the last mail loft the Home Country.

f Creeping Consumption. Don't think that con sumption strikes a sud den blow. It doesn't. i It creeps its way along. It comes like a thief in the night, carefully, cautiously but surely. First it is a little cough: then a little hacking cough; then a little loss in weight; then a harder and snore persis tent cough; then fever and night sweats. A little later bleeding commences and the disease has a Btrong grasp. Stop the disease while it is yet creeping. You can if you will. Stop it with I © | Emission Of Cod liver Oi! and Creasote. The most certain and effective lung heaieit made.
