OPENING OF FREE LIBRARY ON SUNDAYS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The proposal to obtain the opening of the Free Public Library on Sunday after noons is one that will commend itself to all, save the bigoted and intolerant, who aro content to see our young people loitering about the streets and wharves, and in many instances the purleius of public houses, rather than concede the privilege of permitting the reading a good or instruc tive book, on Sunday afternoons, Surely f the morning and evening are devoted to worship there can be no more harm in reading a book or paper, than is at present done by nine out of ten, lolling on their beds doing the same thing, or strolling about probably making questionable acqaintanceship or something worse, not omitting the necessities of those who have neither the means or the home to be able to read in comfort. Of course this aspect will not trouble pious folks who have good homes and plenty of books, or the sanctimonious piety of those whoso religion consists in a large assumption of piety on the Sunday( put on with their best clothes), nnd discarded on the Monday morning. 1 trust those who arc agitating tot this concession will not rest until this privilege is granted to Auckland, equally with other towns iv the colony, Personally I do not require it, bHt I am thinking of those to whom it will bo a boon nnd a comfort. Tho petition must be au expressive one, and public opinion fully shewn by the number or signatures attached. Of course wo shall no doubt havo a section of the ministers opposing such concession. I should be probably writing truly when I say of some of them that I fully believe they would prefer their community to remain in ignorance rather than concede what they are pleased to consider a desecration ; not un like the ostriches in the desert, wil fully closing their eyes to other ways of speuding the Sabbath of a far worse kiud, than reading a book or paper. Fortu nately there are other worthy men who I trustwill be found amongst the supporters of a proposition having for its_ main object the opening simply of v comfortable read ing-room aud library for those who are not blessed with the comforts of a home or tho means to purchase books or papers during the hours the churches are closed. —I am, &c, Cosmopolitan.

(Te the Editor.)

Sib,—Many things iv Auckland strike oue as strange, but in your issue of Saturday evening is a statement, most extraordinary, namely, that " There are hundreds of young people of both sexes iv the city, not to speak of straugers passing through it, to whom Sunday is a day of wretchedness unspeakable." I am old, and have travelled, and havo met all kinds and elapses of people, old and young, yet never met one, much less hun dreds, to whom Sunday was a day of " wretchedness unspeakable." To young persons brought up by christian parents—it is their happy day ; and to the Godless aud Christlesß it is a day of relaxation, when they run in opposition to God's word, fol low their own ways, aud iind their own pleasure. The " unspeakable wretched ness" resulting from the neglect of the Lord's Day they have yet to feel. The remedy proposed is as straDge as the state ment, when one reads in another part of the same paper, a description of the usual visi tors to the library. Would not a better suggestion be that some truly Godly mau should open a room on Sundays exclusively for the unspeakably wretched who wish for a "rational and intellectual way of passing part of the day," and let them there have interesting Chris tian Biographies, such as that of Mr Penne feather, Miss Havergill, Catherine and Crawford Tait, &c, the travels aud labours of missionaries, " Tho Land and the Book,'' and such like, with no proviso but that before separating, a chapter from one of the historical books ot the Bible should be read till that book was finished, aud then oue of the Gospels in tho same way, ending with the singing of a hymn. Those attending would not long complaiu of Sunday wretchedness, and many might have cause to bless God for it, which certaiuly they would not have by the opening of the Public Library.—Yours, &c.,' S. » ■

MATAKOHE: COUNTY COUNCIL MATTERS.

(To the Editor.) Slß,—There was a meeting of the Ilobson County Council held at Toka Toka last Thursday, and it was quite quite amusing to hear the Inspector inform the Council he wouldjnot have the interference of a third party in re our wharf structure. The facts are these : I, as Secretary and Inspector to the District Board, for weeks and weeks struggled to get the structure approved of, and was with Mr Harding, engineer, peg ging out the site, &c. A week or two ago the contractor's son informed me the pegs had been shifted. lat once wrote to the Chairman of the Council informing him thereof, and on the said letter being read the Inspector jumped up in a great state. The District Board's share of the Govern ment grant is in part being spent in this work, and I hold it is the duty of the Board to watch with a careful eye the ex penditure of their money, especially at a time when a sub-Inspector is appointed who opposed the structure by every possible means in his power. A letter was read from the Colonial Secre tary's office, asking the opinion of the Council in re a petition forwarded some time ago to the Governor, praying .that this district be exempt from the dog tax. The Chairman stated the petition bore several signatures of non-residents. Sir, if I remember right, there were only two non resident signatures, both of them J.P's., who happened to bo at tho public meeting. There are more native settlers than Europeans, and we cannot see why our dogs should be taxed and theirs not. But apart from that, I hold it is the Road Board's pro vince to put the law in force or not, as to them may seem best. It is the Board's valuation "that the county rate is struck on, and well it is that it is so, or up would go the "donkey," in order to pay the " salaries " and attendance of meetings. I leave home in a few days to canvass tbe North in re the abolition of County Councils and other matters, and from the severnl promises of support, I have great hopes that our efforts will be crowned with success.— Yours, &c.| J.R.L,

LIGHT FOR HAURAKI GULF.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.—ln reading your aiticle in last even ing's paper about the want of lights in the Hauraki Gulf, in which I entirely coincide, I notice you mention the Moko Hinou Islands as a site for a lighthouse. After twenty years' experience in passing up and down the Gulf, 1 can state that Wellington Island, at the entrance to Port Fitzroy, is a far hotter position for a light, as from its height, about 250 to 300 feet, it can be seen from anywhere that a light placed on the Moko Hinou Islands can, except due East; and in addition it not only would mark the entrance Ito Ports Aber crombie and Fitzroy, but it would render a vessel less likely to touch on the Horn rock, and it would be visible also immediately a vessel had passed through Cape Colville passage. In addition, it would be easily accessible from Auckland, and in case of any accident to the keeper he is in the neighbourhood of plenty of settlers and could easily signal to them, while at the Moko Hinou Isles he would be very isolated. —Yours, &c., LIGHT.

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

DRUNK. Inebriates two; 5s each. AVERSE TO DUTY,

Billy and Louis, two foreign seamen, were charged with absenting themselves, without leave, from the British ship Oiomaru.

The prisoners were natives of the Islands and professed not to know English. Mr Theo. Cooper said the prisoners could understand Sergeant Mattin' when he tooK them into custody. Mr Pardy said the men came from Tahiti, and it was difficult to find an interpreter.

Mr Cunningham asked if they wero guilty of running away from the ship. The prisoneis held down their heads and smiled, and presently both of them said, " Yes, they wauted to see the ' grandiut' of the city."

Captain Shaw, master of the »hip now iv port, deposed that the two natives were articled seamen on board the Oremaru. They decamped last week, nnd took their clothes with them, tie had to pay two other men 8s per day in their absence. Paid prisoners £3 per month. Met tho prisoners in Queen-street, and they refused to return to the vessel He was going to Whaugaroa, and from thence to Dunediu. Sergeant Martin gavo cvidcuce of the arrest. Thoy said they wanted their dis charge, nnd said they would rather go to prison than return to the ship. Mr Cooper said their articles would ex pire about the 25th June, but as they were unwilling to go on board, he would rather not take them.

His Worship : What is to bo done with them .

Mr Cooper thought it was a serious matter to take the men on board, as so many dreadful things had occurred with natives. His Worship said not with these islanders, who were harmless. They were ordered to be sent to the shipping master, and the captain's loss deducted front their wages. LITTLE MICHAEL. Michael Carroll was charged with using violent and insulting language towards Ernest John King. Mr Coleman, for complainant, said that this unpleasantness aroso in consequence of j the intrusion ot Mrs Carroll's cows into for bidden grounds. Mr Laishley, for defendaut, pleaded not guilty. Ernest Jobu King, omnibus proprietor, deposed that he bad some luud in Parnell, which was enclosed and cultivated. Mrs Carroll's cows were in the habit of getting into his allotment.

His Worship thought it wns unnecessary to go iuto the matter ot trespasses.

Witness: He impounded one of Mrs Carroll's cows on the stli of May ; it w;is diiven by Hiram Nixon, when young Michael came up flourishing a whip, aud threatening to screw his neck, ending by striking Hiram on the breast. Mr King said that young Carroll foamed at tho mouth, and his eyes sparkled with rage; He felt that it was necessary that the hand of the law should be upon him, aud that he should be restrained.

To Mr Laishley : Am really afraid of the boy. He might do me groviou3 bodily harm.

Mr Searle and Hiram Nixon gave evidence in similar terms. Heard the words "sneak," "crawler," "pumpkin head,:' "spindle shanks," and other words used by Carroll.

Mr Laishley addressed the Court, and ridiculed the idea that Mr King was afraid of a little boy, like defendant, who was the very picture of guileless innocence. Michael Carroll, aged 14, was sworn, and denied the charge of attempting to do bodily injury to Mr King. He did call him a sneak, because Kiug had impounded his mother's cow. Nor did he threaten to assas sinate Hiram Nixon.

Cross-examined by Mr Colemau : Did not say ho was in a great passion when he met King. Mr Laishley contended that witoess did not say so. His Worship said tho hearing of tho Court was so bad for heating that it was almost impossible to hear witnesses. He hoped this would be remedied shortly. Orders had been given, but the work had not yet been peiformed. Mary Carroll, mother of the boy, said that Nixou said he did not hear little Mike make use of bad lauguagc towards Mr King. To Mr Coleman : She paid balf-a-crowu to get Strawberry out. Mr King did not charge damages. His Worship said he did not know what was coming over the people. If oue neigh bour said a cross word to auothcr or gave a slapinthe face, a summons was immediately procured, and if quarrels continued at this rate, it would require half a dozen magis trates to settle these paltry disturbances, which never ought to come into Court. He should dismiss the case.

The secoud charge against M. Carroll, was for pinching Hiram Nixon, aud threa tening to assassinate him. The evidence, however, showed that it was a simple push on the breast.

This case was also dismissed, as being too trilling to be dealt with by the Court. No costs allowed

THE WAR FEVER AT NEW MARKET.

Minnie Turner, of Newmarket, was charged with assaulting Frank Smith with her clenched fist and promised to do him bodily injury, on the Gth inst. Mr Tyler for the complainant stated the case, aud Mr George in defence. His Worship asked if this was to be another children's affair.

Mr Tyler said the party warfare was chiefly of children ;he thought they had better arrange matters. Mr George said Mr Turner objected to withdraw the charges against the Smiths. Mr Tyler said the Smiths only wanted the Turners to keep away from them.

His Worship said as the numerous cases were connected with the same evidence he would take them in a lump. Charlotte Smith was charged with pulliug the nose of Caroline Turner.

Caroline Turner was charged with threat ening to destroy Charlotte's head of hair, and throwing a brick at her. Ellen, Laura, and Frank Smith were charged with rushing at Ethel Turner and causing an abrasion on her right leg with a piece of iron, i.e., the tip of her shoe. The evidence in these cases disclosed a number of petty annoyances, such as climb ing over a fence, making wry faces at each other, shaking fists, making use of hard words and threatenings ; the most serious charge being a kick and the throwing of a red brick, all of which were denied by defendants, mostly children.

MINING NEWS.

MINE MANAGERS REPORT,

Kuranui Hill G.M.C.—During the past week, tbe stamps have been engaged on tributers lots and on public crushing. These will be completed to-night, and after wards, before Saturday, I will get the balance of the Company's blanketings put through the berdans, and expect about 300 ounces of gold. Belfast section: the stopes outside the clay band, show no alteration or improvement. I am cross-cutting to find continuation of the load seaward of the clay band. The new work referred to in my last week's report includes a drive started on a very strong and promising leader situated about half way between our Belfast works and Pearce's works in the Poverty. On this, ten feet have been driven westward of the cross-cut and the quartz and country are equally favourable for gold, although, so far, none has been seen. I intend to keep four men on this drive for some weeks. Poverty section : Ihe drive from the bottom of No. 1 winze (61 feet below beach level), is in 30 feet, and still nothing like the Duke's leader has been met with. I suspect the Duke's has got pinched, and is represented by a small biack mineral vien about four teen feet from the bottom of the winze. This morning I have suspended the cross cut and started driving eastward on the vien referred to. Pearce's party aregetting in specimens. Teutonic—There is no change to note in this division. Junction, —The surface viens arc giving a few specimens and good general stuff as usual. Tributes : Pearce's crushed for 4500Z3. 12dwts. ; James, 50ozs. 12dwts.; CariD, 49ozs. Gdwts. ; Jenkins, 32ozs. 14d wts. The others so far completed are all very poor.-J. W. Walker, Thames, May Oth.

Golden STAR G.M.C.-The mam drive is now in a distance of 110 feet, 24 feet having been driven in three weeks. Tho country is very favourable for working. We are carrying in with us a promising looking leader, although it is rather small at present. The end of the drive is now in close proximity to the course of the leader, which we expect daily to intersect. The great number of black seams making in the face of the drive tend to this conclusion,-E. I. EDWARDS, Thames, May Oth.

The House of Commons divided in one uiaht 12 times during the operation of the cloture. The time occupied in taking the division was two hours aid 43 minutes.

ST. JAMES'S IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

Mr J. L. Kinsella delivered a capital lecture last night before St. James's Mutual Improvement Association, on "The Elizabethan Dramatists." It was of a biographical and critical character, and was interspersed with judiciously-selected illus trative readings from the worksof the writers under review. Starting with a rcferenco to the vast extent of ground which he had to traverse and the impossibility of doing any thinglikc justice to suchnsubject within the compass of nn hour or an hour and a half, tho lecturer said he would endeavour to confine himself to the achievement of throe things, viz. :-(l) To show what these Elizabethan dramatists proposed to themselves to do ; (2) What were the circumstances by which they were surrounded ; aud (3) What effect their works havo had upon tho literature of their country. He then gave a concise sketch of the rise of tho English drama, and pointed out that it had reached its full maturity and greatest excellence during the sixty years extending from 1560 to 1620. The dramatists were then spoken of in turn-, and choice passnges read from their writings. John Lilly was referred to as the originator of euphuism in literature ; George Beelc as a man of splendid abilities, but of most pro fligate life; Robert Green as a gifted writer, who had descended through every grade of degradation to the lowest; Christopher Mar lowe as a poet who powerfully demonstrated the impassioned vigour and great expres siveness of tho English language ; Ben Jon son as (with the exception of Shakespeare) the most celebrated of the Elizabethan dramatists ; Beaumont nud Fletcher as higher moral types of men than their contemporaries, aud whose works were marked more liy sweetness of grace than by strength or depth ; Johu Webster, who iv his timo earned the appellation of " tho noble-minded ;" John Marston, a man of great repute amongst his fellows ; Phillip Mnssinger, who probably next to Shakespeare is tho dramatist who has most engaged the sympathy of literary minds, and John Ford, otherwise known under tho soubriquet of "Melancholy Johu." Robert Hey wood, Shirley, Decker, Still, and Sackville, were also re ferred to, the lecturer concluding with sonio general observations. Tho criticisms which followed were of a complimentary character. On Monday evening next there will bo an interchange of papers with sister societies, Mr F. A. Cleveland, of tho Baptist Association, mid Mr C. J. Smylh, of St. Andrew's, reading essays at St. James's, and their places in their own uodics being taken by Mr J. M. Geddis and Mr E. W. Burton, respec tively.

ON THE HAWKESBURY RIVER.

(By an Auckla .dkr.)

TAKING advantage of the Easter holidays, I determined to view tho beauties of the above river in New South Wales. Authony Trollope, who is a much-travelled man, gives the palm for beauty in Europe to the Rhine, but, although preferring a portion of the Mississippi to the Rhine, yet he deci dedly states that the Hawkesbury beats the Mississippi. As this writer has fallen far short in his description of the sceuery, it would be useless for me to attempt it, but I will givo a short description of a pleasaut trip, which may prove iutcreatiug. Iv one of those excursions which always happen at holiday seasons one cau experience a great variety ot travelling, by steamer, coach, and rail, sleeping only one night away from Sydney, aud arriving there at 6.30 on the secoud evening. We ieft Circular Quay, Sydney, at 7.15 on Good Friday morning per steamer for Manly, which stauds to Sydney the same as Devonport docs to Aucklaud. From here, after breakfasting, we started, per two coaches, for Pittwater, about 10 miles dis tant, This is a beautiful drive along the coast, sometimes through bush, when oc casionally is seen the graceful palm with its bright green leaf and scarlet seed, or perchance, wallaby bounding over the road would for aa the passing subject of interest. Shortly before reaching the destination tho coaches were diiven through the Narrow bean lagoon, about 150 yards wide, and caused a little flutter among the ladies as the water nearly reached the ilooring. No accident occutred to tnarr the drive, although how we did not have an upset or two is strange, seeing how our Jehus sometimes raced. The road, too, is not quite finished; in fact you might say not begun in some places. We stepped on board the little Florrie at uoou Supposing you transferred the] JKaipara harbour te the East Coast, this would give you a good idea of Broken Bay; the Wanoa would then represent the Hawkesbury. We reached our stopping-place for the night, namely, Wiseman's Ferry, at 6 p.m. Here we were very hospitably entertained by Mrs Jones and her fair daughters. On the way un we passed Barranjoe lighthouse and Dangar Island. As we approached the narrow part of the river, the banks rise to a considerable height, varying from 100 to 400 feet, and mostly covered with boulders aud bush, occasionally a narrow strip at the waters edge would' be sown with Indian com, but we saw more of this higher up. One or two small settlements, and a camp of Australian blacks were passed. The hills on the north bank of the river at Wiseman's Ferry are a great height ■ thoy must be about 700 feet high, and the telcgrapl wire here has a stretch of fully a quarter of a mile. (I hope no one will think this a stretcher.) After partaking heartily *of the repast provided, |we ad journed to the balcony to enjoy the evening, and certainly it was a grand evening. The full moon had just risen over the high hills on tho opposito side, and although not striking the river was still in inky blackness, yet it (shed a flood of light on the hotel and paddocks sloping in front to the wator's edge. The river here has a branch called tho Mac Donald, on which is the small town ot St. Albans. A little further up is another branch, the Colo. In the morning about 7we started off up stream. From this point to Sackville Reach the banks aie not nearly so precipi tous, and the river winds more than lower down. The above spot we reached about 10.30 a.m., and after a pleasant two hours' diive arrived at Windsor. On our way wo passed magnificent fields of corn, driving for miles with maize 8 feet high on either hand. To a stranger, the sight of boats under sheds built on the top of hills has a peculiar appearance, but the floods this district is subject to render such things necessary. After dining at Windsor and having some time to look around, we returned to Sydney by train, 'arriving atC.3op.m,

A gum-digger, who had walked from Waipu, called at the Police Station to-day in great distress of mind. He stated that he had suffered for honesty's stake, he had been gum-digging on his own account, and bad got together about half a ton. He had dealt at the local store, and his bill amounted to £118s; but he was a total abstainer and never purchased grog, to the disgust of the storekeeper. He paid his account, but took no receipt, but fortunately paid it in the presence of a witness. The storekeeper made a second demand. He refused to pay thrice, and was not only called and old waterbutt, but was subjected to a seizure ot his gum, and the destruction of his whare by fire. The police could not assist him, but told him to see the nearest justice at Whangarei and lay an information against his oppressor. He left the station penniless ar.d footsore for Whangarei, resolving, if possible, to win the ear of justice,_for he had been told that she is blind to the cause of the poor,

CITY COUNCIL.

Tiik statutory annual meeting of tho City Council took place this afternoon, there being present:—Crs. Waddel (iv the chair), Goldie, Fleming, Thompson, Aickin, Crowther, Montague, and Oiler.

Councillor Goldie inquired what clauso of tho Act gave authority for the advertising of tho accounts as beiug open to the in spection of the public before they were published by tho Council. The Town Clark said that he had acted under tho 132 clauso of tbe Act, and this yoar he had followed tho pructico of previous years, Councillor Thompson aud jtho Chairman both thought that the accounts should bo submitted fto the Council beioro being thrown oiiou for tho inspection of tho public. Councillor Goldio drew nttcntion to the larco amount of rates Mint wero un paid, iminciy, £3,152. In Duncdin iio believed the arrears of rates only amounted to JCIO. Ho also thought advertising expenditure was too high.

The Chairman pointed out that excep tional circumstances had caused it to be so high. Councillor Aicken maintained that all the rates could not be slated to be overdue, as the year for which they had been struck had not yet expired.

Councillor Oiler complained of tho manner in which tho day labour was performed. It seemed to be a kind oi Government stroke, and a great deal of the money spent upon it had simply been frittered away.

Councillor Crowther referred to the " shameful" mauner in which the founda tions of some of the sewers had been laid,

Councillor Goldie considered that an in quiry into the general stato of their finances was very necessary. At present a sum of £5,000 odd wns being spent annu ally on day labour and lighting alone.

The Chairman concurred with tin's sug gestion. The present expenditure could not be kept up. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Councillor Aickeu, tho uccouuts were received and adopted.

A letter from the auditors, asking either for assistance in thoir labours or an increase of their honorariums, was referred to the Finance Committee.

THE T AU RANGA BANK ATTACK.

An Extraordinary Story.

(BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

TAURANGA, this day. BARFIBLD, a prisoner for attempted bank robbery, has been committed on both the charges. Ellis, oue of the witnesses, and informer against tho prisoner, said :— in Aprii he called me iuto his saloon and asked me how was business. I said things were very quiet. He said he had not six pence all that day, and that if things did not change he would have to do something as he was not clearing his rent, He said he had sent £5 for Mr Nathan in Auck land, aud he had closed ou this money, and stopped his credit till ho should scud more. There was only one way, he said, ho could see of cleatiug himself. I asked him what it was, aud lie replied it was by going to the National Bauk. lie added there was a capital chance there, as thcie was only one party on the bank premises. I usked him who that was, and he said it was Mr Morris, He furtherstattd he had been weighing tho matter ovor in his mind for the last fortnight. I then inquired what he intended do i ing. He said he had a pistol, aud could easily catch Mr Morris any night when going to the Club or coming from it. He said if he could not get anybody to assist Jiitu he would go single-handed. He informed mo of Mr Morris's move ments when ho left the bank, and when he returned. He said he could easily knock Mr Morris down, take the keys from him and get iuto tho bauk. He said he knew Mr Morris generally left about G o'clock at night. He said nothing at that time about cutting Mr Morris's throat, nor about setting the town on fire. I said that I would thiuk over tho matter. I made up my mind to put Mr ou his guard. I never at auy timo had tbe smallest iutcution of taking part iv the burgclary. I subsequently called Mr Purdio and informed him of the matter. Un Sunday night he told me that if he gave it up that night he would go into the bank on tho following Saturday with some deed, and when Mr Morris was persuing the deed ho would knock him on the head. We went round on Tuesday night, and he was knock ing about some time before he could mako up his mind to go, It was be tween 10 aud 11 o'clock. I proposed to give it up, but he insisted on having a try. That was at the corner ot the bauk. He walked across the road to the swamp. Some partios came by playing aconceitiua. The prisoner then started to blacken his face. He said, " Come on Eliis, how do I look!" I hesitated, and promised to toss up half-a-crown whether to 'go or stop. He said it would be dangerous to strike a light. I blackened my face and wc weut over to the bank. I carded a pistol as I wished to save bloodshed. I feared if he carried the pistol he would most likely have shot someone. The prisoner knocked at (lie Bank door. He had a parcel of pepper and the bludgeon in his hands. The door was opened by somebody. I supposed it to be Mr Morris. A voico said " Come in," whereupon the prisoner rushed in and I cleared away and returned home.

HIGH LIVERS.

The highest spot on the globe inhabited by human beings is the Buddhist cloister of Hanic, Thibet, where twenty-one priests live at an altitude of 16,000 feet. The monks of St. Bernard, whose monastery is 8,177 feet high, are obliged to descend fre quently to the valleys below in order to obtain relief from the asthma induced by the rarity of the atmosphere about their mountain oyrie. At the end of ton years' service at te monastery they are com pelled to Hngc their level. • When the brothers Schlaginswell explored tho glaciers of the Ibi Gamin, in Thibet, they once encamped at 21,000 feet—the highest altitude at which a European ever passed the night. At the top of Mont Blanc, 15,781 feet above tho level of the 'sea, Professor Tyndal spent a night, and with less discomfort than his guide, who found it very unpleasant, In July, 1872, Mr Glasher and Mr Cox wcll ascended in a balloon to the enormous height of 38,000. Before starting Mr Glaisher's pulse beat 76 strokes per minute, and Mr Coxwell's 74. At 17,000 feet, Mr Gliasher's pulse had increased to 84 and Mr Coxwell's to 100, At 19,000 feet the hands and lips of the ajronauts turned quite blue. At 26,000 feet Mr Glaishcr could hear his heart beat and his breathing became oppressed. At 29,000 feet ho became senseless, not« withstanding which he still ascended another 9000 feet, when his hands were paralysed and he had tojopen the valve with his teeth. In the Alps, at the height of 13,500 feet, climbers suffer from the air, yet in the Andes persons can dwell.as at Potosi, a.a height of from 13,000 to 15,000 feet without inconvenience.

After a short visit two ladies are about to pay their compliments to the Countess Santa-Grue and take their departure. "Pray,".she says graciously, "remain a little longer." " Indeed," answers ono of the ladies in her most winning way, " were 1 to stay another live minutes I should never be able to go, (whispering to the other lady) for I should be fast asleep."
