RAMBLER BOUND THE WORLD.-IX.

The Colonies and the Imperial lte. HAT I be permitted a digression, in order to refer to an event which occurred in Lon don just before I left. It baa nothing to do with my travels, and I dare say it did not escape yonr notice; but as it is an event of colonial significance, and pregnant with important issues bearing on the relations of the colonies with the mother country; I may be pardoned for saying a few words on tbe subject. You are aware that Lord Derby has taken the office of Secretary of State for the Uolooies. air Alexander Gait, as High Commissioner for Canada, in com pany with the agenta-'-teneral of tbe \ us traltaa Colonies and mow Zealand, waited upon His Lordship to present him with a congratulatory address Besides tbe usual eommou place courtesies, the address con tained the fol owing si^nificint sentence : " We may express a hupe that tha piwor of the Agents-General to|servo their respec tive Qovurnuieuts may be increased by a more fo mal recognition than baa bithert been deemed advi able, of (be deep interest which is telt by tnt colonies in an that ton cerus tbe na ion of which they regard themnelvea as integral parts " a. cur-ory reader might pass orer this aontonco wi n. out bung impressed wita it as trannht with meaning •>' great importance; but its purport and tendency did nut escape tbe vigila cc of the conductors of the London "iiuiei-."

Journey Through France. wut now to my usual topic On leaving Paris, the line crosses tbe Maine, and traverses the .fertile valley of Ydres. Pretty conutry villas—some of them sur rounded by small parks—and several manu facturing establishment", gave variety to the landscape. FonUinblean was the first station of intereit. It is at a considerable distance from the town; and unless th« traveller has plenty of time, and a special purpose ia seeing tha Palace, I should advise him to keep his feat, i The Pdace, however, is wall worth, seetne,. and the neighbourhood is full of historical associa tions. Marshal Biron, the cnmpininn in arms of Henry IV., was arrested at Fon tainbleaa on a charge of high treason, and afterwards beheaded at the Bantiile. It was ia the Palace tbat Louis XiV. rigned the revocation of ths Edict of Mantes—a deed almost as fatal to tbe best interest* of France as to the lives and liberties of ber Protestant subjecs. There, too, the treat Condd died ; and iv one ot the romis th" sentence of divorce against tbe Empress Joaepbine was pronoun erf. jnd no one can stand ia the Cour dcs Adieux wiihoat recalling to miad the sc-n« vl Napoleon parting from the Grenadiers of his. old Guard when about to depart for Elna, ann his reviewing the s«me troops after his escape before he mstcied with them to Paria

Toe Palais dea Beaux Artes ban not a conspicuous front facing the street; but tbe colonuades that surround the interior quadrangle contain many Kmnao antiqui ties—statues, altars, and f>agmentary in soiiptions.

I was parti' cu!arly struck by some ancient mosiac work in the centre of one ot tbe Chambers, re presenting mythological fables, and tbe gune- of the circus.

At the end of theQnai del'Est there is a xpacous public park, artistically laid oat, aud intersected with broad carriage-drives and pathi for promeaaders.

THE BAD BOY TRIES A GOOD ACTION.

He Converts his Father at the Cost of a Broken Spine.

You see, I wanted to get pa into the church again, and get him to stop drinking, so I got a boy to write a letter to him in a female baud, and sun the name of a choir singer pa was mashed ou, and tell him she was year.aiun for him to come back to the church, and that the church teemed a blank without his smiling lace aud benevoltnt heart, and to please com« back for her sake.

"Saints" in New Zealand.

AMUSING SCENE ON WELLING TON WHiRF

That was a queer kind of leave-takiog on the deck of the steamer Penguin, before casting off fiom"Wellington two weeksacjo, witb. mails and passencers, including a batch of Mormon convf-rts. The Latter Day Saints, who were starting for the New Jerusalem at Salt Lake, had received the gospel of Joe Smith while hewing timber in the Forty Mile Bu-h. They looked as if their conversion had been due, not so much to the book of Mormon, as to the tempting offer to free grants of land in the State ot Utah These couverts were plaiu, stolid, uo educated Scandinavian hewers of wood - their wives and chid en. 't heir tmoi.ions in ihat solemn ho»r of [/art'n« found vent, no', in woildly regrets, uor in low eong^ of B.intly sacli.ei', but in the toucning ceremony of -hariiii one bottle of pickled <>niou4 am'.ng eigut convertß.

Those saintly fathers—"fa'hers" in the Urgeat s^tise -■■ paced the iir.ui deck with hats slou'-hed over their f'reht-ads, as if rather ashamed of their ill-siKces* in converting only twu poor fo'eivn iaiuities out of the whole Pro vince of W«Uini>ton. It w.h not a largK fluck to hhephotd, even counting in th« p ckled onions. Tbe d^ck hecatne crowded with iiruvor-nt Mght--e. kers. The wharf xlso i/ot packed with a nuisy crowd, laughing, cuafli ng, and impatient for the Mormon eiaera to " h»lil forth." as three o'clock drew near-the time tor. casting off—the large crowd of Sunday Welliugtoniana became m<>e im patient for the "parting words" which LUdcr lMirr had promised 'o andress to hia friends and th« pubLc. Many c»ll8 were made f r a Mnrmon sermon ; many jokes on polygamy *o<e attempted, and some rade tauute were shot at wider Farr. Sma'l rnob-i got round the elders, and tried with coarse fun to get up debates on the hle«s idk9 ot Mo' muniHin. At lent• th tbe voice of a new r<-vel«tiou was beard risiug -mid the din. It was the voice of a M«nnon elder, who had joined tiie "saints'' as a Conveit fiom this colony only three years ago. said tbe i«aiut: 1 am here to tp-ak the truth, tho diviue truth In the Book of Mor mon (Voice: "vv as,ho a book-maker 1") I care uot for your laughter.
