that the only thing she had not seen was an Arab marriage. "Indeed," said the Khedive, " this shall soon be remedied." So he sent for his A.D.0., gave him one of his Circassian slaves from the harem, presented him with a large dowry, and told the astonished official that everything was to be ready m two days. ' Accordingly, on the second day there was a grand marriage d V Arabe. The Empress was greatly pleased, and the A.D.C., a man far more European than Egyptian, and who spoke several European languages splendidly, .found himself indistolubly attached to a Mahomedan wife, whilst all along it had been the dream of his life to marry a European lady, one educated like himself, and with whom he could associate. But he knew he dared not refuse, and so an accident settled his whole life. Thb Lath Gbnbeal Gobdon. — The Lord Mayor of London has received the following letter from tlie Chinese Minister : — " Chinese Legation, March 3rd. — The Marquis Tseng presents his compliments to the Lord Mayor, and begs tofstate that having brought to the ! notice of the Imperial Government and that ' of certain of the Chinese Viceroyß the fact that a Committee* under the auspices of the Lord Mayor had been formed with the view of erecting some kind of memorial of the lamented General Gordon, he haa been requested to forward to his lordship the following subscriptions towards the accomplishment of that object— namely, from the Chinese Government £120, and from His Excellency Li Hung-Chang, Viceroy of Chihli, £200." It is stated that the two sisters of General Gordon, who reside at Southampton, have refused to receive any public grant or pension m recognition of the national services of their 1 late brother, who was unmarried. On behalf of the Government, Mr Gladstone had offered to secure to these ladies an annual allowance, J and had furthermore offered to see that the annuity was granted without the necessity of asking it from Parliament, but the offer was declined. The Salvation Aemt m Victobia. — Two representatives from the Salvation Army (Major Barker and Major Howard) accompanied by Mr Berry, M.L.A., waited on the Treasurer of Victoria a few days ago, to ask for a special grant m aid of ajrescued sisters' home m course of formation by the executive of the Salvation Army organisation. Mr Berry said it was admitted on all hands that something should be done for these poor fallen women, many of whom were lying about dying like dogs. The Salvation Army seemed to be particularly suited for this kind of work. The army took to the work con amore, and made no distinctions as to the religious views held by the patients. Mr Barker stated that the building intended to be purchased consisted of twenty-three rooms, and would accommodate from 70 to 80 patients. The building would coßt £2500, and £500 waß required for fitting it up. The army had raised £492 towards this work, and a special appeal was to be made next week, which it was contemplated would realiso £500 more. Mr Service replied that the request made by the deputation was an entirely new departure for the Government to take, but it was one of a kind which would be favorably considered. He thought that Parliament would be favorable to passing a small grant of £1000 at least for the purpose stated, and he promised on behalf of the Government that Parliament should be asked next session. He thought the army was making a bold attempt to deal with a very difficult question. In the ev.ent of Parliament refusing to vote the money, he would make one of ten individuals to subscribe £100.
