The manager (Mr Robinson) of the Cambria mine, in Gould's country (Tasmania), was killed on 23rd June by an explosion of dynamite. He was sharpening a drill in the blacksmith's shop, where fourteen cartridges were warming before the fire. They suddenly exploded, carrying deceased thirty yards away, and completely wrecking the place. His son, who was blowing the bellows at the time, escaped. A good story (says the Melbourne correspondent of the ' Timaru Herald) is circulating about Sir Bryan O'Loghlen and the •Argus.' The patronage of this paper is always looked up to as fatal to politicians. When Sir Bryan saw his end approaching he went to the 4 Argus' office and abused Mr Haddon, the editor. "You've killed us," said he. "Why tho devil couldn't you write ub down ? that would have been our salvation." The 'Argus' ia now going for his hair. iEsthetic valentines are displayed in the shops. The French Chamber of Deputies declines to suppress gaming at Monaco.
