The former villa of Pius IX at Porto d'Ansio, on the Tyrrehenian tea coast, haß been transformed into an hospital for rachUic children, and the magnificent room m which he used tj hold his Summer receptions is now filled with the cols of sick children. Castle Gandolfo, near Rome, wheie Pius IX and Antonelli generally spent the eaily Autumn, has just been assigned by Pope Leo XIII. to the nuns of the order of St. Theresa. So many bodies have been found in the Yarra of late, that a new "industry " has spruug up among the wharf " rats " and loafers. Every morning now they organise themselves into parties of two and three, take a boat from Ler moorings, and make a thorough survey up and down the river for some miles. This nciivity is occasioned by the fact that for every body they fish out of the river they get 10s from the authorities, and this means a rare carouse in the thick scrub on the banks when honest people are abroad pursuing their business avocations. There is just the danger that these " river pirates " may, in the dull season, seek to augment their profits by nefarious practices. More than once it has been roundly asserted that it is not every corpse found in the Yarra that is the result of accident or suicide. — Sydney Globe.
