FOREIGN GOSSIP.
- Two English daily papers have been forbidden sale or circulation in Turkey because they exposed the Sultan's drunkenness and coawaincy.
—Lord Walsingham pays a shilling for every pheasant shot on his Merton estate, and the sum realized is devoted to reducing the rents of his cottagers.
☐—Some of the brick houses erected in England two hundred years ago are so cemented together that the walls have to be blown down with gunpowder when the site is wanted for something modern.
—Until quite recently no blacksmith in the north of England would drive a nail on Friday, the anniversary of the crucifixion, and no edged tool was used in Yorkshire, nor was it any thing but unlucky to wash clothes on that day.
Capital punishment has been abolished in Italy. This was done in Switzerland some seven years ago, but the result was not regarded as satisfactory, and capital punishment was again enacted. It is curious that it should now be abandoned in Italy, where the murder rate is the highest in Europe.
— Birmingham, England, has been a borough for fifty years, though it has 440,000 inhabitants. Now she wants to be a city, and as only the Queen can transform a town into a city, Birmingham, through its town council, is going to implore Her Majesty to bestow this favor.
—British reform has brought to light a forgotten personage known as "Chaff Wax." His real title should be Chafe Wax, and his duty was the preparation of wax for fitting the writs issued from the Court of Chancery and for the official seals. He has long drawn a salary for doing nothing, but he has at last been found out and will be abolished.
—An incident is related in a London paper of a Welsh preacher who started on the cars to fulfill an engagement. When the conductor came for his ticket he had forgotten to bring it, and had also forgotten his money. What was worse, he had forgotten where he was going. It was found impossible to suggest to him any station that seemed to be the right one, and he had to telegraph home to have his friends look into his diary and send him word where he was going. Word came and he was started on all right.
The Dominion of Canada will adopt the chief features of our banking system. In 1890 radical changes will be made in the federal banking system of Canada. The principal change will be the adoption of an amendment authorizing the government to practically control the issue of legal tender and correspondingly restricting the issue of notes by the various chartered banks. The change will be borrowed from the American banking system.
—In Germany apothecaries are not allowed to sell miscellaneous articles, on the ground that such sales are likely to divert the clerk's attention from the delicate duty of compounding medicines. There are drug stores where miscellaneous articles are for sale, but no prescriptions can be prepared in them, under severe penalties. Poisonous articles are kept in a room reserved exclusively for them.
—A copy of the Bartholdi Liberty Statue, the funds for which were raised by subscription in the United States, is to be set up on the point of the Ile des Cygnes (Swan's Island), in the Seine, opposite Meudon and Sevres, about five miles from Paris. They have begun to lay the foundations for the pedestal, and expect to have the monument completed before the expiration of a year. The work is a reduction of that on Bedloe's Island, the height of the figure being twelve meters (about forty feet) while that of the gigantic original is 154 feet.
A CAT'S ADVENTURES.
Pussy Travels Eight Days to Get Back to Old Friends.
A vessel visited Garliestown Harbor, the captain of which had a favorite cat that hunted at will over the ship, and amply repaired board and lodging by the destruction of rats as well as mice. Tired, however, of the sea and its perils, puss gave her old friends the slip by landing unnoticed, and established, without leave asked or given, her headquarters in the garden attached to the principal village inn. Here, however, she was a welcome guest to all, save the small birds that hop among the twigs of trees in summer. She entered the house occasionally, and was fed regularly for a periot of nearly five months; but some farm er friend having seen and taken fancy to the stranger, she was dis patched far inland, packed in a basket to diminish the probabilities, if no possibilities, of ever finding her way back again.
But puss repudiated the idea of becoming a thrall at pleasure; the home assigned might be all very well in its own way, but its novelties she liked not; the moors were too near, the hills high, and the colley dogs especially pert and uncivil. Again, therefore, she became a tramp, and at the end of ten days re-appeared at her former domicile, guided by some curious instinct, which is as useful to the feline species as the compass to the mariner. The old folks were surprised, and the young ones delighted at puss' return, while all admired the sleekness and plumpress of the far-traveled mouser. After a little time notes were compared, from which it appeared that the cat had been eight days o., the road, shifting as she best could, and in a district where muircocks and plovers were rife, observing carefully the old maxim: "As we journey through life, let us live by the way."—N. Y. Ledger.

Dear Sirs—In [the text], I received notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten days to submit the application, and should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system has so strengthened my natural ability to read the Bible, I give the gift of any book after reading it once, I therefore read Lightfoot, Professor Marrolot, who is known for his excellent in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
