The Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language prints statistica supplied by the Commissioners of National Education, showing the progress of the study of Irish in the national schools. Irish is taught in forty- five national schools, and the number of pupils who passed has risen from twelve in 1881 to over five hundred in 1889. With reference to intermediate edncation the Council have also to report highly satisfac- tory progress. The results of the recent ex- aminations show that the number of boys who passed in Irish amounted to 273, while in 1883 it was under fifty. The former Bishop of Durham, Dr. Light- foot, when the interior of the Bishop's chap- el at Auckland Castle was being renovated, was asked by the artist of the new windows what sort of faces he preferred for the repre- sentations of Bishops and monks among the figures.

A Greek merdnat of Alexandria, in ^ypt, who made a great deal «f moaey, nnaUe to return persooiaHy to his countey, bat intent npon choosing a Grecian maiden for his wife, writes to his correapcndent in Corinth, at tiie bottom of his osoal business letter: "KnaHy, I reqaest you to remit me by returning steamer, a young lady who might feel inclined to be my wife.

If the lady will bring the inclosed note with your kindly acceptance, you may feel assured that I will honor the same and make the bearer my wife." Altiiongh somewhat astonished at this sin- gular order of his Alexandria correspondent, the merchant at Corinth, a good business man, thought best to fill it like any other re- ceived from so reliable a customer and to send the merchandise demanded at short notice. Having found a lady possessing the required qualities and willing to transmit with the accepted check on her unknown coimtryman her hand and heart, the Corinth- ian took her aboard the next steamer going to the country of the Pharaohs. At the same time he notified his friend by telegraph of the precious shipment.

A postal card was recently delivered in England fifteen years after it had been posted, having been found at the bottom of a letter box, where it had doubtless lain unnoticed ever since it was first dropped in. Arabella Goddard, once a famous pianist, has recently been discovered in extreme poverty in London, and a benefit concert for her has realized $2,500, which, with other contributions, makes a total of $6,000. Mrs. Ann Leek of Kiplin, Yorkshire, haa- died in her 101st year. She was married in 1809, and had lived in the same house ninety nine years. There is another Mrs. Leek liv- ing in the neighborhood who has attained the same age. An Englishman has invented a means of utilizing the principle of stilts with wheels. The wheels are fastened to the feet as stilts are, and each acts as a sort of independent bicycle. They go very fast when one has learned how to walk on them. It has been discovered that with the new English magazine rifle the first shot almost always goes wide, and it is alleged that the soldiers believe that it will not shoot well unless the firer breathes sharply down the barrel three or four times before using it. The military defences of the Thames, "which have been in such a poor condition that there was not a single gun in the Med- way capable of preventing the passage of a large ironclad, are to be strengthened im- mediately by the erection of new forts and the increase in the armament of those existing. The Guinness 'rust, representing Sir Edward Guinness, has selected several sites in London for the erection of dwellings for the working classes, which are to differ from the famous Peabody houses in that they will be let only to the poorest class of laborers, and that the rent will be almost nominal. The trustees of the British Museum have made an order allowing the delivery of telegrams to readers there, and they are being denounced for it, on the ground that there is a growing tendency to turn the museum into a free club. Letters cannot be delivered to readers there yet, however. Winter Co., cc al merchants of Swans- combf:, England, have sued the owner of a menagerie for $250, the value of a horse alleged to have died from fright at the sight of one of the menagerie elephants. The horse was being driven along the road, when it saw the elephant it gave one spring into the air and dropped dead. London Fire Department statistics show that, although theatre fires have increased greatly in number, they are far less damag- ing than formerly, owing to the improve- ments in the apparatus for suppres^g them. The same statistics show that the death rate from fires in London has fallen from 238 in 1887 to 19 in 1889. This is also laid to the improved apparatus. The Duke of Cambridge recently, examin- ing an° American revolver during a visit to tiie squadron of evolution, declared that it seemed the finest he had seen, and that he thought the English na^•y should adopt it, there being great complaint about the kind at present used in that navy. The Russians are ahead of all other European nations in their revolvers, it being a vorite weapon aboard their ships. The qaeation of how to get clothes washed is agitating the British matron. It is de- clared that the laimdries are expensive and do poor work, and it is suggested that **penitential laundries" be estab^hed where the work shall be done by women convicted of petty offences. The daily papers have started a regular department for letters upon the subject, and head it " Washingiana." English thieves are using a contrivance looking like an ordinary walkuig stick, but which is so arranged that by pressing a spring at the handle the ferrule will spread ^art and form a sort of spring dip that â- will take hold of anything that is witlun reach.

At I present it costs several hundred dollars and the loss of the moral character of one or both parties to procure a divorce. In con- sequence few divorces are asked, fewer grant- ed.

Some months ago there was a movement set on foot to make habitual drunkenness a sufficient cause, but it was so vigorously op- posed that it died a natural death. When persons entered into the marriage contract it is 'for better or for worse,' the sufferer has no cause of complaint.

Railroads in Persia have not yet assumed either a present or an immediately pro- spective magnitude great enough to make of vast financial consequence the reported privileges granted for five years to Russian capitalists for their construction. The ex- perience of the contractors for the first short railroad in that country, built not many years ago, must have been a queer one, since to suit the Shah, as was reported, the work was begun at the wrong end, or the one furthest away from the place to which the principal materials had to be brought. Since then the locomotive has become a more familiar object but Persia can hardly yet be the most promising field imaginable for railroad enterprise. The political signi- ficance of the present concessions is note- worthy as showing the continued satisfac- tion of Persia with Russian means and in- fluences. The Shah is between two fires, or at least finds England and Russia rivals in pulling at him for privileges on the one hand and the other. It must be confessed that this positipn does not appear to disturb his personal enjoyment of life indeed, his policy seems to be the simple " one of playmg one off against the ' other. On the southern coast, particularly on the Persian Gulf, England receives the com- mercial concessions on the northern fron- tier, particularly on the Caspian Sea, Rus- sia makes her gains. And she probably looks forward to uniting her steam lines with those of Persia and controlling both.

The mausoleum of the Emperor Frederidc, next to the Friedenskirche in Potsdam is completed externally with the exception of the copper roof of the cupola. In the inter- ior, which is warmed, the stone masons sculp- tors are briskly at work. The decorations of the mtenor are, oar correspondent tele- graphs, very rich, and carried out entirely m light gray Silesian sandstone. The sober color of this building material is only inter- rupted by the polished dark green syenite pilliars. As a finish to the arch which spans the opening of the altar niche, a beautifdiy- formed escuteheon has been chosen, over which theimperial eagle soars withoutspread wmgs. This is flanked m both sid^ by ^res of angels holding reUgious symbols in thcor hands. The spandrels of the upper fi^Uery are adorned with cherubs. Within the last few days the Emperor's consent has be^ given to the carrying out of the mosaic m the cupola and on the ceiling rf the altar space. The designs for the mosaics were wwked out by Prof. Ewald, after early Christian works. The cnpola is to receive to^ of angels on a gold ground between and eject his wife, like an Irish tenant, with more severity than consideration, and she can have no redress except in a decree of separation and alimony but through it all she has to remain his wife "UNTIL DEATH DO THEM PART." Some Canadians think to overcome this stringent law by emigrating for a time to Chicago, and purchasing what is called in Canada " a 50-cent decree." The Canadian courts do not recognize such decrees, how- ever, and the party getting married under one of them is liable to arrest and imprison- ment, should he or she return to Canada. A noted legal gentleman of this city, who is authority on divorce matters, delivered a lecture before the Ottawa Legal and Liter- ary Society some weeks ago, during which he said divorces granted in the United States to parties married in Canada, are illegal in Canada, except where the parties have be- come bona fide residents of the States, and the divorce is granted for the cause recognized as sufficient in this country. All others are null and void. This is the law regarding divorce, and so stringent, exposing and expensive is it, that few have the courage to seek redress for their real or fancied wrongs under ite authority, and of these few a large propor- tion get only the exposure and expense without the redress. But Canadians are thoroughly satisfied with the law and will not tolerate any infringement of it either among the high or low. Political pro- minence, like money,- often covers a mul- titude of sins, but neither the one nor the other can excuse any violation of the divorce law. As an instance of this, there was a certain minister of the crown for Canada, married last summer to a Canadian ladv, who had gone to Chicago and procured a divorce from her liuBband for causes not recognized by the laws of Canada. At the time there was much speculation, both in Canada and the United States, as to the reception they would get at the capital during the present season. Some thought that the gentleman's position would over-ride his errors, but re- cent events have proven the contrary. As a minister of the crown he is invited to "political repasts," but the lady is omitted. Marriage is undoubtedly the great question of a woman's existence, and Canadian women are determined to preserve it inviolate. PRETTY DEAR FUX. At present there is a very peculiar case before the Senate, and one which fully il- lustrates the reverence with which Cana- dians, look upon marriage. Some five years ago a party of young jjeople wanted to have some fun and so bethought themselves of a 'mock marriage.' A young lady and gentleman consented to go through the ceremony, which they did, and now, after five years, when one of them wants to marry someone else, they find to their dis- may that the mockery was a binding affair and that neither can get married unless the Senate grants them a bill of divorce. In any event their fun is going to cost them pretty dearly. Marriage in Canada, like fire, is not to be played with. Fire if kept in the stove is a very useful, cheerful and necessary thing in a hous#, but if you begin to throw it around for fun it IS very apt to set the house on fire. Andsoitis with marriage. Itisavery serious thing, and Canadians look upon it in its most senons aspect. This being the case they have no reason to complwn of the law, for all who thmk swiously before they act, are not very apt to have any after regrets. A loose divorce law makes work for itself and money for the lawyers. How many people rush in to the marriage state witiiout considerinjr the senousn^ of the stop, but fully deter- mined, if aU IS not weU, to getdivoroed, and foUowmg the good old motto, "try twain " ^* 8"ch a course cannot be pursued in C^ada.
