By theS. 6. "City of Sydney'7 we
have the usual budget of news from
the Colonies.
The New Zealand Parliament, be
fore its prorogation (which occurred
on the 10th ultj, passed a series of
resolutions confirming those of the
Sydney Convention, held last year,
and expressing the hope that the
British Government would extend
the Protectorate which it has pro
claimed over part of Now Guinea to
all the Pacific Islands not" at present
claimed by any power. The con
sideration of the question of Colonial
Federation was postponed.
From a correspondence which has
passed between the Auckland Cham
ber of Commerce and Sir Julius
Vogel, the Postmaster-General of
New Zealand, we learn that the con
tact time for the mails between San
FancisrC and Auckland is to be
shortened by 24 hours, the change to
begin next month. Sir Julius Vogel
is of opinion that the service may be
capable of further improvement, but
states that this cannot be attempted
during the currency of the existing
contract.
The following are some of the
latest foreign telegrams:
Paris, December Gth, Despatches
have been received from Madagascar
announcing that parleying has again
commenced between the Hova lead
ers and Admiral Miot. commanding
the French forces, but that no terms
of settlement have been agreed upon.
Lioudou, Dec. 4 The Chinese troops
are claiming repeated successes over
the French troops in Touquin.
Cairo Dec. 2-The '"first of the
whaleboats conveying troops to the
front have arrived at Dongola. .
News from Dongola is to the effect
that the Mudir has received intelli
gence that the Mahdi is dead.
A messenger from Khartoum re
ports that when he lelt that place the
Mahdi's troops were within three
hours' march of the city, and that
General Gordon had been harassing
the enemy from his steamers on the
Nile, and had captured a quantity of
their supplies.
Cape Town, Dec. 3. Mr. Upping
ton, the Premier, addressed a public
meeting last night, in which he ex
pressed himself as siding with the
Dutch party. He eulogized the action
of the Boer raiders in Bechuanaland,
and censured the policy of the Gover
nor, Sir Hercules Robinson. The
Premier's speech has caused great
public indignation, and considerable
excitement prevails throughout the
colony. J
Paris, Dec. 1. M. Ferry has issued
a circular pronouncing that cholera
has now entirely ceased in Paris.
London, December 3. Cholera has
broken out amongst the seamen and
mr lies on board the French fleet at
Formja.
Ijniidou, Dec. 2. Mr. James A.
Froude, the historian, will sail for
Australia on Saturday next.
London, Nov. 30. An explosion
has occurred on board Admiral Cour
bet's ironclad, resulting in the death
of fourteen persons.
Hanlon-Beacii. By private ad
vices from the Colonies, we learn
tuat Haulon has gone into thorough
training, and can be see.i twice a day
in the harbor hard at work. The
match between him and Beach is to
come off in the latter part part of
February, or first part of March. The
betting is a little in faror of Beach.
Hanlon is reported to have given up
all his previous habits that might in
terfere with his rowing, and is going
in to win if possible.
COLONIAL NEWS.
Wellington, Dec. 2. The arrangements
for carryiug out a direct steam aervice
with Great Britain have now been satis
factorily settled, and the first steamer will
leave Great Britain and New Zealand
respectively on the 20th instant. The
postal difficulty which existed with the
home authorities respecting the dispatch
of letters has been -udjasted.
A MOTHER'S LOVE.
Exchange.!
Some day, -TVhen
others braid your thick, brown" hair
And drape Your form in silk and lace,
When others shall call you "dear" and "fair,0
And hold your hands and kiss your face.
You'll not forget that far above
All others is a mother's love.
Some day,
'Mong strangers in far distant lands,
In your new home beyond the sea,
When at your lips are baby hands
And children playing at your knee
O, then, as at your sido they tow,
How I have loved you yon will know.
Some day,
When you must feel love's heavy loss,
You will remember other years
When I, too, bent beneath the cross.
And mixed my memory with thy tears;
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within their shadow I ha 7C prayed.
Some day,
Your daughter's voice, or smile, or eyes,
My face will suddenly recall;
Then you will smile in sweet surprise,
And your soul unto mine will call
In that dear unforgotten prayer
Which we at evening used to share.
Some day,
A flower, a song, a word, may be
A link between us strong and sweet;
Ah I then, dear child, remember me,
And let your LeariJto ''mother' beat;
JUy love is wrta you Pverywnere
You cannot go beyond my prayer.
The Virus of Love.
'Uncle Bill's" New York Letter.
Thomas Hughes, the "Tom Brown at
Oxford " celebrity is here in the revived
interests of the Ilugby colony, in Tennes
see, and yon may have already read some
of his hopeful talk about that enterprise.
He has been reported, too, as to his com
plaint about the extent of gambling per
mitted on ship board. But he has also
found time to say to me: "There was a
curious passenger, whose name was
Adriance Ward Ainslev, as lie gave it, and
who said that he was, or had been, a curate
in some remote part of England. He was
a man of much learning so much, I
fancy, that his brain had cracked with the
stress of Leavv contents.- He was what
you Americans call a crank. He had been
carried away by Pasteur's discoveries in
the treatment of hydrophobia by inocula
tion. And he believed that the principle
could be applied to purely mental ailmem
or conditions.
His argument ran in this way: Hydro
phobia is as much a disease of hiMiiiuu us
the body. The remains of those who die
rabid show on dissection no sigu of physi
cal disturbance. The malady is largely of
the mind. Now, Pasteur has proved that
inoculation with the virus of hydrophobia
gives a dog immunity from the disease,
though he may be repeatedly . bitten by
rabid beasts; and it is believed that the
same effect would be produced in a human
being. If that be so it i3 clear that all of
the positive emotions, especially those
which are apt to drive persons crazy, can
be guarded against. All wc have to do,
for example, is to obtain the virus of iove
from a madman afflicted with it, inoculate
a sentimentally healthy man and thus
make him forever p. oof against the afflic
tion. Ainsley's errand to America was to
lay his ideas before the British association
at Montreal He went to that city, and
ere this has doubtless impressed himself
on some of the members, though he hasn't
obtained a hearing from them collectively.
He was in deep earnest, I assure you.
Russia's Principal Sights.
Dr. SchafFs Letter.
Russia presents no beauties of nature ex
cept in the Ural mountains on the Cau
casus. The country along the great rail
road lines is as a monotonous prairie, but
less fertile. The cities of St. Petersburg,
Moscow Warsaw, Kief, and- Odessa,
especially the first two, contain all that is
interesting to a traveler. St. Petersburg
represents new Russia, Moscow old Rus
sia, The principal sights in both are pal
aces and churches. They are filled to
overflowing with treasures of silver, and
gold, and precious jewels.
' The winter palace and hermitage at St
Petersburg, the summer palace at Peter
hof, the palaces of the Kremlin in 3Ioscow
are bewildering and oppressive by the
treasures which . unlimited power has ac
cumulated for centuries. The churches,
too. are overloaded with precious stones and
glittering gold. The finest churches are
St Isaac's in St. Petersburg, built by
Nicholas 1. the Church of the Lady of
Kazan, modeied after St. Peter's in Rome,
and the Church of the Redeemer in Mos
cow, built in commemoration of the deliv
erance from tljo French in 1812, completed
and consecrated in 1883 at enormous cost.
Benevolent Brewer.

Brewer Vasser gave young American
women the college which bears his name;
Brewer Bass, of England; refused a peer
age, gave liberally to churches and reading-rooms,
and left a business worth
$12,000,000 yearly; Brewer Guinness,
whose porter has made him famous, was
no less famous f oy his benefactions.
The Bapture or a Donkey.
Youth's Companion.
Why should a good donkey cost in our
large towns and cities $60. $75 and $100.
Why do not farmers who are puzzled
"what to raise "turn their attention to this
useful product, and continue the work un
til a generous father in moderate circum
stances can afford his children the rapture
of a donkey.

"Landlord!" cried an irritated traveller,
who had Leen eatmg dried apple pie at a

to his shattered jaw and produced a gimlet
with the other. "Look at this confounded
gimlet I've found in yonr pie and broke half

COOK AND COPPICK.
How Two of Old John nrown'i Ittcu
IVIet Death.
Grorge Alfred Townsend.
VVhen Cook and Coppick were led out
to die they had made their peace with the
world. . Cook had again become a calm,
determined man. As they stood together
on the scaffold, young Coppick, with some
trouble at his throat as he thousrht of his
young life about to be snapped off bj'
the
the.
cord, heard Cock's voice say. after
caps had been drawn over their faces:
"Ned, where is your hand?"
. Here." said Coppick, " it is, John. "
The took each others hands, fettered as
they were, and said " good-bye, "and then,
in a moment, the gallows opened and they
swung across the "blue perspective of the
mountains.
I have studied the John Brown raid
pretty closely, and I am satisfied that
Capt. Cook was to some extent sacrificed
by John Brown when Brown was led
forth to die. The well-meant efforts of
Governor Willard's family to save Cook,
even if his associates had to suffer. Lad in
duced him to make a confession. Brown
saw this confession. Brown had got over
all the pangs of personal interest in life,
and was looking solely to the vindication
of the Abolition cause. It occurred
to him that some of Cook's statements
rather belittod that cause and
failed to giva it the proper
dignity before the world. Brown now ap
prehended that the 'raid he had made
would compel the north and south to fight
out the slavery question very speedily. So
when he shook hands with Cook ho said
in the presence of other persons, perhaps
with intention: "Captain Cook, you have
made false statements. " He specified some
little matter which he claimed was not
true. Cook dropped his eyes to the ground
and said: " We will have to differ on
that. " But when Brown divided up his
few quarter dollars he did not pass over
Cook, but gave him one, saying: "In
that place where I am going I shall not
need any small change. " In a little while
Cook resigned himself, shook off his
friends who wanted him to demean his
history, and he died as manfully as any of
them.
. Thinking over the changes in theee in
tervening 3' cars, I made the geographical
reflection that Franklin county was that
in Pennsylvania from which Brown
launched his invasion. He invaded Jeffer
son county in Virginia. Between these
two counties was that of Washington, in
Man luutl. The genius of Franklin and
spirit of Jefferson had been divided for
years by the mild and concilliatory policy
of Washington. Not until Pennsylvania,
full of the practical spirit of Franklin, felt
that the necessities of free labor required
her to take a stern position against slavery
did hostilities break out across Mason and
Dixon's line. Then on the intervening
county of Washington the great battle of
Antietam was solemnly fought, and at its
termination Mr. Lincoln wrote his eman
cipation proclamation, meditating it on the
very ground John Brown had chosen for
the raid on Virginia. Within nine months
the Confederacy launched its greatest army
on the north, crossing tins same county,
and passing over the plains of Franklin
and through the Blue ridge to the great
defeat of Gettysburg; the broken columns
of that army staggering back to slave soil
trod over the ground where Cantain Cook
was captured.
The Chorum-tfJIrl's Life.
In an interview with an eastern reporter
a chorus-i;irl gives the following descrip
tion of the life they lead. She said: "Very
often a girl, after a year or so of life in the
chorus, tires of her freedom, and marries
cne of the compaay the first tenor, if she
can get him; if not, the baritone or second
tenor. It is easy enough for :l married
couple of singers to get $18 or $20 per
week apiece, even if both are in the cho
rus. You see, married people aro more
trustworthy, and the managers know it.
With $40 coming to them weekly, they
can live comfortably, I imagine." But it
is a tiresome, wearing, rush-about life,
and it means more trouble
