: 'iJever ask anyone to give you hia word of. If you are talking to an honest riian^ it is superfluous ; if to a rascal, useless. They have on Lake Geneva this season a floating hotel, which moves from place to place. . . " Ma, the minister is coming. vv nat makes you think so ? Did you see him i .** No ; but I saw pa take the parrot and lock it up in the stable." , There ate now over GO inmates in the Magdalen Asylum, near Christchurch, drawn from the prisons and streets ot the colony, and including the forlorn of every creed and district. A case heard in the Lord Mayor s Court revealed the fact that a moneylender was charging 600 per cent, interest. A man out of work borrowed L 5, and although he paid back that amount hs had to pay L22 more. This was the amount he was summoned for, and was ordered to pay. J {The casualties caused by cyclones this year have been appalling. All the destructive elements of nature— winds, cloudbursts, floods, hail, and lightning -seem to have been let loose upon the suffering country. January 13, 11 lives were lost by a cyclone in Kentucky ; February 22, 65 by the flood at Prescott, A. T. ; March 27 440 by the Louisville cyclone ; April 6, 12 by flood in the South ; April 22, 15 by a cyclone in Arkansas ; June 5, 15 by a cyclone in Nebraska ; June 13, 12 by a oloud-burst in Kentucky ; June 20, 12 by a cyclone in Northern Illinois, and to these must now be added probably 200 more victims by the Minnesota cyclone. The total list of deaths by cyclones, lightning, and wind-storms alone since January 1 will figure up over 1000, as compared with only 162 deaths by the same causes all last year. Though the year is but half gone, it already promises to bo memorable for its dreadful catastrophes. —Chicago Tribune. The New York correspondent of the Manchester Examiner writes :— " We are so accustomed to the country dress, flowing robes, and full-bottomed wig of Speaker Peel, and to the impressive dignity with which he presides over the debates in the House of Commons, that it was a sore shock to my nerves when at Washington the other day to see Speaker Heed directing the deliberations of the National House of Congress arrayed in a loose silk shirt, no necktie or waistcoat, and with a broad black satin sash or •Cumberland' encircling his ponderous stomach. By his side was a glass of iced water, at his feet; was a spittoon, and in his hand was a palm leaf fan, which ho attempted in vain to apply the closure to a parliament of flies in session upon his exceedingly bald head." * The Australian Unions arc doing their best to belittle Mr Champion. This is how Mr John Burns "endorsed" Mr Champion on the latter setting out on his Australian mission :— "Mr Champion, late editor of the c Labor Elector,' the ' best labor paper they had ever had in England, had sailed for Australia. He had .devoted a great deal of time and money to the labor question in England, and had financially suffered very heavy indeed. He had done more for the eight hours question than any man in England, and rendered groat service during the docK strike. He (Mr Burns) could only speak of Mr Champion in the highest possible manner, and heartily recommended him to all Australians as being a man and a gentleman, whom they could heartily trust in everything."
