Witnoss asked tho accusod if the piano was on lure, and ho replied "No," addioj.' that ho had paid CJS for it. Ho also asked if tho machine wna on hiro, and ho replied that it was not, having cost him £10 Witness sub sequently instructed a biilifl'to tako chargo of tho premise?. Many things mentioned in tho bill of sale wcrj missing when tho bailiff took possession, but tho piano and machine wero still on tho premises. Subsequently a demand was made upon him for tho piano and sow- j ii:g inachino. Mr Hoffuiann domandod tho piano, and witness instructed tho bailiii' to

hand it over. Tho demand for tho machine was mado on behalf of Mr Boalo, and it waa aldo given up. It waa on tho a??urance of accused that the piano and sewing machine Woro his property that witnofs lent tho money. If the piano and sewing tn.ichiuo had not boen included in tho inventory, he would not havo lent £)5 on tho remainder. Pmomr Mgned tho bill ofealo (produced) after hear ing tho declaration and printed conditions road. Jjy Mr Gover: 'Whon ho wont to the houso to make an inventory ho did not soo any persons present besides Mr aud Mrs Lovett. Ho would not swear that tho two young women in Court wero not iv the houso, but he was positive they woro not present in tho room with him whon ho was taking tho inventory. Mrs Lovett did not siy to him when ho was looking at tho piano, "That is on hiro from Mr Hoffmann." He did not tell her to bo quiet. Ho did not want to havo anything to do with women. Mrs Lovett had told him previously not to lend Lovott money without her permission. That was four or live months previously. When clio told him that sho did notgivo as hsr reason that tho furniture was his. Ho said he would not lend tho money without her per mission. Thoro had been tivo or threo previous bills of salo between herself and Levolt, Ho was not positive about two, but was as to ono. Tho arrangement was that when Levott borrowed tho money ho wns ba pay a former bill of sale, and tho former bill of salo was satiflied out of this £10.

The previous bill of Balo mentioned tha piano, but ho could not say whothor the eewing machino was. Ho did not satisfy a bill of Bftlo of Cohen's out of the £15. Ho gavo tho money to Levott, who brought a re ceipt; "iii full of all demands." Ho waa suro ho novor eaiv a bill of salo given by Mrs Lovett to Cohon. Ho had not taken any document exeopt tho pro missory noto (produced) from Mrs Lovett. 110 did not know that Lovott could nut road. The witness Wooding was pro font when tho bill of sale was read to Lovelt. (Accused hero interjected seve ral remark?.

It was explained to him. Ho would swear that nt the houso Mrs J evott did not af k him to lot her sco tho inventory and ho rofused. Sho did not aek to b3 allowed to come to tho oflico and sco tho invontory boforo hor huaband signed. By Sergeant Pratt : Tho iutorcst on tho £15 advanced was £12. (Left sitting )

THE HUMAN FAMILY.

The human family living to-day on the earth consists of about 1,450,0G0,000 individuals ; not lee?, probably nioro. Those nro dis tributed ovor the earth's surfaco, so that now thero Is no considerable pirt where man is not found. In Asia where ho was first planted, thero aro now approximately about 80,000,000, deneely crowded ; on an average, 120 to tho equaro mile; not so crowded, but every where dense, and at pnints overpopulated.' In Africa there are 210,000,000. In America, North and South, there aro 110,000,000, ro latlvoly thinly scattered and recent. In tha islands, largo and email, probably 10.000,000.

The extremes of tho white and black are as five to three ; the remaining 700,000,000 intermediate brown and tawny. Of the race, 500,000,000 are troll-clothed -that is, wear garments of some kind to cover thoir nakedness; 700,000,000 are semiclothed, covering inferior part 3of the body ; "50,000,000 aro practically naked. Of tbe race, 500,000,000 livo in houses partly furnished with the appointments of civilisa tion : 700,000,0000 in huts or casa with no furnishings ; 250,000 OCO have nothing that can bo called a home, aro barbarous and savage. Tho rango is from tho topmost round-the Anglo Saxon civilisation, which ii tho highest known—down to naked Bavagery. The portion of tho race ljing below the line of human conditions ia at the very least threo fifths of the wholo, or U(AOOO,000, As to religion, tho 1,450,000,000 are divided in tho order of numerical strength an follows:—Sb'0,000,000 are pagans, com prising 600,000,000 of Brahmo-Buddhiels, or Brahmana or Buddhists ; 160,003,000 of unclassified pagans; 150,000,000 Parsees, Coufucianiats, bhintoists, Jains, and other Einallor pagan sects ; 410,100,000 are Chris tian?, composed of 225,000,000 Roman Catholics, 75,000,000 of the Greek Cnurch, and 110,000,000 Protestants; 180,000,000 M/vbammedans; 8,000,000 Jews. The 800,000,000 of pagans are found chiefly in Asia and Africa, and compiiso 93-lOOths of tho population, with scattering millions ia the Aluorican islands of tho sea.

The 410,000,000 Christiana conntituto tho body of Europe and 9-lOtha of tho Ameri cans, with a foiv millions in Asia, Afiica, liud tho islands. Tho Mahommodana siro found chiefly in Asia and Africa. Tho Jows aro scattered in all lands, without a homo or country, This is approximately a cornet cast of fho raligioiis status of tho world today, It (rho«s two thirds of the whole to bo pagan, or, including the Mahommedan3 and Jews ,13 anti-Chriatiau components of tho pagan fraction, three quarters of tho whole —not less than 1,050,000,000. Tho remaining fraction of 410,000,000, a little more than one-half is Roman Catholic, one-quarter, nearly, Greek, and a triflo o/er a quarter ProtettanI. — " N.Y. Independent."

Aftor long holding up the question to tho light beforo God wo have decided to unite to gether by marriago, steadfastly convinced that by so doing wo shall fulfil His will and better accomplish the duty ho has as signed to us in tho war. We havo taken this decision with the concurrence of our dear General and Mrs Booth, who have ecriously weighed it in the eight of the Lord, and they agrco with us that in tho end we can do more for tho Kingdom of Heaven by being united than separated. Let this bo for you tha occasion of a now consecrat ion. Wo only ask you to pray for ÜB, and to stand steadfastly by your colours. —Yours devotedly and affectionately for this word and tho next.

Beatification of English Martyrs.

TilK English Roman Catholics nro now groatly interested in the fact thnt tho Con gregation of Eitoe, at Komo, havo com menced tlio discusfcion of tho murtyrdon of Sir Thomas More, Bishop Fisher of Ro chester, Father Cuthbert Mayue, tho pro tomartyr ot tho seminary priest?, and other valiant champions of thoir taith during the roigna of Uenry Vlll, Edward VI, and Elizabeth, Tho voluminous documents en tho subject aro highly interesting. It is probablo that the procefs of beatification will bo carriod through rapidly. LeoXlll is anxious to honour tho steadfaotneeß of English Roman Catholica during the penal laws, and to bless tho niodorn liberty which they enjoy under tho beneficent rule of England, and which, it must be confessed, they havo helped to obtain. The actual canonisation of tho British "martyrs" cannot tako placo for some years. But after tho coremoDy of beatification the "blessed" Thomas More and his com panions may be specially honoured in tho liturgy, their relics may bo placed in consecrated altar stone?, and their names may be used in tho dedication of new churches. la this con Lection it is well to note that reports are current that the Vatican and tho British Government are both anxious to establish direct diplo matic relations especially with a view of coming to an understanding on the nomina tion ol prelates to England sad Ireland. Between tho British Government and the Vatican there have always existed unofficial relations, but there is still a deep feeling in England against this project of having an accredited agent at the Vatican. This prejudice, however, is not shared by the Jbiudish Government, which ia perfectly aware of tho advantages it m'glifc derive irom tho friendship of lope Leo XUI in dealing vpilh tlio Catholic population, of Great Britain and Ireland. On his side tho Pope ia most anxious to place tho British Government under moral obligation to tha Vatican.

Miss Carrie Swain Interviewed.

"Stoby! Why, bless my soul, I'm liko tho knife-grinder, I've none to tell. How over, what there is you'ra welcomo to. I was born in Philadelphia in '03, so that makes ma 23 years old, don't it? Oh I I'm a whalo on arithmetic. My fadhcr was a Yarinan, from Baden Baden ; but I didn't know much of him, for ho died whon I was nino years old, and my stepmother (ho had married again) took mo over to the golden Call tno fornia. It's no ueo 10 tell how I got on tho stage ; but 1 did. I went on in 1 Coriolanuß ' with Mr Williamson in 71. Mr John M'Culloch was the Coriolanu?. '1 hough I waß way down, I know I wag going to bo ah actrosa. I had my own idoa about that. Well, tho chance eamooneday. I was cast for tho tolograph boy in "Tho Tourist," and made tho part, though it was small. After that I got batter lines, and I had the good fortune to meet my manager, Mr i'rank liardner, ho is one of tho greatest viatuoso in America. Oh ! lie's solid on mueic, you bet. And ho speaks all tho languages. I can play iv German or French just as well as I can in English or Amuri kan. Where did 1 get my gymnastics ? Why, they're natural. I'm always gymnas ing. I can close up, break the record at running, and I can swim liko a pomponnoau, I swam 8 miles in a surf once. I have four medals for faying life, and have pulled many a girl from tho undertow at Saratoga, Coney Island, and elsewhere. I'vo never played out of the Statos, though I'vo boon to England and tho Continong. I played all through tho Union-55 weeks last engagement, Sundays and all, and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons to boot. No wonder I loft. Why do 1 play ' Tomboy' and not go to tho operatic stage ? Why, Bir, wo toots 53,000 dollars (say £11,000) in 11 weeks with it; that's money. I'm going into opora, however, in a joar or two. When I finish horo I'm going to Gar many to play ' Tho Tomboy ' to tho Dutch men in Germany, and study music oil the time. I'vo got threo lull octavos n my voice, I have, and that's what every woman can't say, and you'll hear of mo. I came hero because 1 was ordered perfect rest. I folt what I thought was a hair tickling always my throat, and wo went to tlio doctor, and ho told Air Gardner that every part of my vocal organs woro strained. I do play other pieces, •Jack in the Box,' and tho ' Little Joker,' but not often ; I liko ' Tomboy ' best. That'll all; there ain't much in it, is there? I liko this country ; 1 lovo it. It cccum all sunshine and pleasure—except firework nights—and tho people are tho kindest I ovor struck. Well, good-bye, see you again, cure."

THE RABBIT TEST.

Opinion of Profossor Brown o tho

Privy Council,

The Government havo received from tho Agent-Genoral eomo corroßpondonco boar ing upon Iho subject of the destruction of rabbits. Tho correspondence includes a loiter from Sir Francis D. Bell, Agent- Goucral for Now Zealand, to Sir Saul Samuol, in which it la Btated that tho opinion of Professor Brown, one of the scientific ollioers of tho Agricultural Dopart rncnl of tho Privy Council, waa sought as to wholhor a tlwoaso could bo introduced thai; would help in tho destruction of rabbits ; tho lcttor from Sir V. D. 801 lto Professor Brown, in which tho former describes tho

urioua plans which liavo boon attempted

for tho destruction of rabbits ; a lottor from Mr .lames lioctor, of the Colonial Museum of Now Zealand ; and the opinion of Pro feesor Brown, will doubtless bo road with very much iuterest. Tho following is a portion of Mr Hector's communication : — " I think it would be well to aek tho Agent-

Uoncral to confer with Homo of tlio cliicore of the Canadian Government now in London, with a view cf ascertaining what is known as to thonaturoof adieca-c ihat periodically destroys tho rabbits in tho Canadian back woods. In 1557-58 tho Saskatchewan awartnod with rabbits, and tho Indians thero depended on rabbits for their food in tho wintor tioio; but during tho winter of ISSS !.) the rabbits almost entirely disappeared, and I found tho back-wood Indians starving to doath in consequence. I waa told by tho hunters and olliccrs of tho Hudson Buy Company that about ovory 7 to 10 yours (ho rabbits wore attacked by a murrain

that destroyed them. Tbcro was nothing unusual in the aoverity of tho eo'iaon to ac count for thoir doetruction. My impres sion at tho time was that tho disease was a

lluko or hydalid that touched tho liver, but soon spread to tho musclos and other ti-:suos of tho rabbit. Tho animals that proy upon tho rabbits in that country aro tho lynx, tho ca*o wolf, tho kit fox, and tho common tox, so that if it is duo to tho lluke it is probable that it i 3 from ono of thoeo animals that tho diseaso is derived," Tho communication from Professor Brown, of tho Privy Council, is in theso terms : — "44, I'arliament-sti cat, December 1, 18S0. Tho Asront-Gencral for Now Zoalmd. Sir,—ln roply to your letter of tho 20th ultimo, referring to tho destruction of rabbits in the Australasian colonies, I beg to inform you that I entertain a strong conviction of the inexpediency of any attempt to introduce a fatal contagious diseaso among them for tho purpose of cllecting their destruction. in re gard to awino fever, it is undoubtedly the case that rabbits may bo infected with tho disease by inoculation, but thero is no evidence of its com municability trom rabbit to rabbit by as sociation, Tho same thing may bo said of tuberculosis. The introduction of any

virulent form of skin disease, s-uch as mange or ringworm, would probably aid in the extermination of tho rabbit?, but both diseases are readily communicable to other atiimala and tho parasite of ting worm might be transferred to man. UnJor the circumstancos, I am unablo to euggost any measures beyond those which nro usually employed, as gun?, traps, snaro?, pitfallf, and tha introduction of tho smaller carnivora, stoats and weasels. —I have, &c, G. T. Brown."
