London, Jan. 13.~The last vestige of the 98-ton four-masted Norwegian ivéh wailing ship Mormy, with her car go of 1,400 tons of outh Amcrican dyewood for the Yorkshire factories, bas sunk beneath the Goodwin guick- cunds: The crew was saved by the life- hosts, but nothing conld he done for the ship. A few hours' rolling on these shifting sands broke her back; then the sands began to swallow her piecemenl; bull ana cargo sank foot hy foot, until nothing but her masts stood up from the water. z Many a score of vessels have gone before her into these depths, but not often. so rapidly, Sometimes a mast will stand for a long time, like a fin ger-post pointing the way of destrue tion. Thus the large sailing ship Ha: ewibank, wrecked in the same way and on the same spot, kept a mast standing phtil the recent goles wash- el it awdy. Old tradition says that what is now the Goodwin sands was once the fer- tile island called Lomea, in the pos session of earl Goodwin. From him it passed to the abbey of St. Augustine at Canterbury. The ses always want ed it, and when the abbot, in the ex tremity of his piety, used the stones intended for the ses wall to build the steeple of Tenterden church, the sea FOU For elmer anit Lek. 34. bag swallowing the ir isle of Lomea. That final destruction was in 1099, the vear before the death of William Rufus. But the sea had heen gnawing at Lomea all through the century. Now the sands are ten miles long, stretehing northeast and south-west, and one and a half to three miles broad. They lie opposite Sandwich and Deal, and the average distance from the mainland is five and a half miles. They form a natural break water to the Downs. = At low tice in summer time the sand is firm enough for ericket. The deadliest day's work of the was on November Goodwin sands ih, 1703, when thirteen men of -war and 1,200 officers and men perished there. The sands will hold house nor beacon, but there are " lightships and many buoys. ------------ Unhappy Queen Draga. _ Vienna, Jan. 13.--Queen Draga, of Servis, is living amid libel and insult. The French newspaper 'Piccolo" was confiscated by the police for an out rageous attack on the queen, but the courts. declared the seizure illegal. In Servia itself the king and quesn are specially protected by the press law, but if the Belgrade correspondents of several Vienna papers may be credited not & week passes without handbills being seattered in the neighborhood of the Royal Kouak, or posters being affixed to the walls of public and pri- vate buildings, containing the most outrageous libels on the queen. All this, of course, is part of the agita- tian against the present. dynasty.

Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, re- cently visited St. Petersburg as the envoy of king Vietor Emanuel, of ftaly, and effected a Rasso-Ttalian un- derstanding respecting Albania and Tripoli.

The work has progressed won derfully during the past few days; but to. ope who is not familiar with the interior decoration of a theatre it appeared as ii the house would be not quite fimished for the opening on Tues- day. Mr. Small, the lessee, however, is satisfied that everything will be in veadigess. On Sunday evening, Johny Ambler, the stage superintend- ent of Mr: Smalls theatres in Tor- onto, arrived in he city accompani ed by a staff of experienced carpen ters, who i LE an to-day the rigging of the stage. This will be completed ear- ly Tuesday morning. There has also arrived a stall of drapers and carpet layers, who will commence immediate ly with the house furnishing under the direction of E. Corbett, one of the most experienced decorators in Cana- da. Theatfegoers need have no fear that the house will not be in readi- ness, There was a report circulated on Saturday, no doubt arising from the heavy sale of meats, that the house had been sold out. This report is not correct and Mr. Small announces that there are still good seats to be ob: tained on the ground floor.

"Windsor citizens,' says the Herald of January 4th, "should feel proud of the fact that this city posscsses the finest armory building, from an archi- tectural . point of view, in Canada. This is not the opinion merely of Windsor people themsvives, but also of the dominion government inspector, who stated this iaet to 'a Herald re presentative this morning. luspector Ogilvie, superintendent of publig works at Ottaws, arrived: in the eit this morning for the purpose of inspecting the new building, and also to look over the work in progress in the reno- vation of the post otice. The inspec tor said he thought the ned. armory building is a credit to the oty and can be compared, in all points, but size, with the armories at Toronto and Montreal. . From the builders' stand. point, continued the inspector, it is far ahead of any in the country, and great taste and judgment has been ob- served in ite erection.' The, inspector's words pay a great compliment to builders of the armory, Messrs. Sullivan & Langdon, of this city, who were also the con: tractors for the local drill shed. That they made a fine success of both jobs, there is no doubt, Opposed To Canvassing.

Scott, manager of the Lexington opera house, asking that the play "Uncle Tom's Cabin" never be played again at the opera house here. The petitioners give 8s reasons that the best citizens and old families liv ing in and about Lexington were once slave owners, that the incidents of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are not typical of slave life in the south, but of iso lated cases; that the production and its advertisement with bloodhonnds and pictures of an old negro in chains, and a slave-owner, with whip, in hand, present "a false idea of the history of the times to the children of the city, and are in disrespect to the southern gentlemen and good citizens and their families in this part of the country. The petition is signed by four of the most prominent women of the chapter, and is endorsed unanimously by the members.
