London, May man wf the name oi Silva, recently in Lisbon, Portegal, entire property' to a rooster. The man was gq firm believer in the trans migration of souls. She imagined that the soul of her dead husband had en tered the body of the rooster; there fore she caused a special fowl house to built, and ordered the pay particular attention to their mas ter's wanis, She was extremely jealous of the hens, and whenever one of' thew was found cogueting with Pedro, as the rooster wus ealled, its neck was wring, The disgust of, the relatives the woman's will was discloseq great, and a lawsuit would have fol lowed if ove of the heirs had not adopted the simple expedient of hav ing the wealthy fowl killed and thus becoming the next in succession.

The merchants all did a splendid business yesterday-<the best in vears, and it ' was with a cheerful = counte nance that today they paid their promised subscriptions to the Victoria day celebration cpmmittee. The stores, especially in the forenoon, were crowded. There were over 5,000 visit ors in the eitw, and while them spent scarcely anything, great majority blew themselves, average expenditure would probably be 85 each. By this reckoning, £25, 000 was expended in the city as a re sult ofthe celebration. Jt must be remembered that, in making this cal calation, mawy of the visitors spent two or three days in the city. busi of the The some Treat It With Contempt. The liberal government Ontario has been able, true, economical and wise during the past quarter of a cen tury. It would be just as sensible for the Grand Tronk railway sharehold ers to dismiss Mr. Hays, who has made a paying neern of what was formerly a ghaStly financial failure, and replace him with an untried man whose record as a railway manager was against him. Ne- sane business man, no shareholders in a company would pursue such a course, and yet that is just what Mr. Whitney and his friends have the "hardihood to pro pose to the people of Ontario.

The Mediaeval Fortress of: Vol- terra. { From ihe 84, James Gawette 2 The mediaoval fortress of Volterra i* mow. a fogpmidable prison house i When last F visited it there were 475 prisoners within its walls, ell of them npderers. It is an uncanny sensation to look upon pearly 300 hitman beings, eacl one of whom bas { taken the Ide of at least one other buman being. One hundred and forty | nine of them were condemned for life, amd that would mean murder -with and cold bloded description; the re mainder were imprisoned for periods ranging from fifteen to thirty years and that would mean murder wuth | extenuating ciraumstances--uogwder the result of inconstancy in a sweet heart, frailty in a wife, faith lessness in a friend. The confinement is rigorously solitary aod cellular; the exercise coprts are cellular; there are cellular smithies and cellular work- shops; nay, the very chapel is cellu lar. Two tiers of cells run one above the other, and the prisoner in each, while ' unable to see his fellow con viets, can through a lohg narrow loophole see the altar and the priest who is saying mass As 1 walked round the rampartz of the great fortress | could look down into the rows of high-walled exercise courts--not more than ten feet by ten, I should say--in each of which the convict was taking the hour of exer- cise which he is allowed daily. Every prisoner saluted respectfully, and shower his white teeth in a pleasant smile, glad at the sight of anv fresh fave. Italian prisons are models of order and cleanliness, and the rifulpess and natural patience . of the Italian temperament does much to lighten the labor of Italian prison officials, THe conviets get twa full beans, lentils, or paste, cooked in lard, and meat on Sundays and holidays. Every prisoner may spend 25 centesimi a day, if he has it or can earn it; therefore wine is by no means an unknown luxury in the prison. The system of rigorous solitary con finement leads to frequent cases of makiness. Indeed, there is often talk of the Italian government abolishing the systemn on account of the great ex. pense of maintaining namerous wim inal lunatic asylums. | | or or meals of MARINE INTELLIGENCE, What is Happening Along the Wa- ter Front.
