capital, from which he was recently driven by the forces of the British Smith Africa Company.The London papers, however, place little it any credence in the report The bodv of a man who had committed suicide was found to-day in a lodging house in Old Ford Road, East Loudon.The man had shot himself with a revolver in the temple.When the police saw the body to.day they were at once struck by its resemblance to the descriptions of the mysterious \u201cScott,\u201d for whom they have been looking for months in connection with the alleged murder of Lieut Hambrougli.\u201cScot\u201d was jointly indicted with Alfred John Monsoo for the killing of Lieut Humbrmigh, and when the case came on for trial at Edinburgh a few «lays ago and \u201cScott\u2019\u2019 did not api>ear for trial, he was

week bear the impress of Major General Herbert\u2019s firm hand in one or two particulars.For instance the position of staff-sergeants as a \u201crank\u201d is done away with.They will hence.forth be

near Liverpool How he got into the ivater no one knows.He was handcuffed just as he had been brought on hoard from the prison.The harbor was full of sharks and it was suicidal for a man to deliberately jump overboard, for his chances of reaching shore alive would be very small imleeil.The cry \u201cman overboard\u201d brought all hands on deck and the sailors say that Captain King, w ho was in his cabin, heard the cries of \u201cman overheard\u201d and rushed on ject.He w as accompanied throughout uds arduous journey by his wife.For nearly a year he explored the region of Abyj-sinia,

the victims in the drowning accident at Montague have now been recovered and the water in the mine has been pumped out.The Coroner empanelled a jury and the inquest was adjourned until Friday next.Tho failures for 1893 in Nova Scotia numbered 127, with total estimated liabilities of $809,386, as compared with 176, with estimated liabilities of $1,018,050 in 1892.The Customs receipts at Halifax for December were $86,260, an increase of $19,025 over last Decemlier.Receipts for the year 1893, were $873,759, an increase of $16,795 over 1892.Yarmouth, Doc.30.-\u2014Mr.IN.I*.Lovitt, Nova Scotia\u2019s millionaire, while in Halifax a short time ago looking after his big ship \u201cCounty of Yarmouth,\u201d contracted a severe cold which has developed into pneumonia and he now lies at

train.GERMANY.BERLIN, Doc.30\u2014The Emperor, as is his custom, will re assemble about himself on New Year\u2019s day the leading Ministers and Generals.Some of the newspapers, knowing that the custom will be observed on Monday, pretend that they have knowledge that important political utterances will be made by His Majesty- The press correspondent is in a position to state that every indication points to the formal deliverance of a speech common to the occasion, which will be delivered in semi privacy.It is known that some of the leading Generals of the Bavai ian army will not be present and this fact is commented on as showing there is a hitch in the relations between the Emperor and the Regent of Bavaria.As a matter of fact their absence is devoid of any rigmficatice.Neither Prince jv Leopold, as Inspector General of the Bavarian armv, nor Prince Arnolph, as commander of the first Bavarian army corps, will be present at the Imperial reception, hut the R-gent will send Gen.Yonberg, as the representative of the Bavarian army.Should, by any combination of untoward circumstances, the Emperor\u2019s speech contain anything of a surprising nature, it will startle his Ministers, who anticipate and hope for nothing beyond the exhibition of common place.At any rate whatever is said will be allowed to filter to the public gradually.The French spies Daguet and Dtibais, who have been ttansferred from Magdeburg to Gratz, are well treated in the fortress where they are confined.They are allowed to communicate with their friends aud relatives and to see each other at will.The mystery of the dynamite cases sent to the Emperor and Chancellor fias been solved.The plot has been placed to Norman Wahlgren, a discharged agent of the Berlin police.He went to Paris about the middle of November ami instigated two French Anarchists, Rabin and Bordes, to send the boxes.His plan was to reveal the plot at the proper moment, attribute it all to his accomplices an , as a reward for supposed keenness, secure his old employment here He will not l>e reinstated, neither will any other agent discharged from his special branch of the service.The Chancellor has ordered that all agents not regularly recognized as members of the police service shall lie discharged.A police search of Bruno Zeichel\u2019a lodgings in Leipsic is said to have yielded a mass of information as to the relations existing between German Anarchists and the Autonomie Club in London, as well as the Ftcheit Group in New York.Berlin, Dec.2$ \u2014Emperor William is said to be trying to buy the new Cape diamond, believed to be the largest in theworld and more valuable than the Kohiuoor, weighing 971 carats.If he gets it he will have it set, rumor says, in the new crown being made for him here.The diamond referred to is called the Excelsior, and is deposited in one of the Bank of England safes.It was found last June in the mines of Jagersfoutein, Cape Colony, by Capt.Edward Jorganstn, the mine inspector.In his opinion, corroborated by that of the director, Mr.Gifford, the Excelsior is a stone of the purest water ami wortn about $5,000,-000 Exceptional precautions were taken to have it conveyed from the mine to the coast.A squadron of Lancers guarded the carriage to Cape Town, from which point it was shipped to Loudon in the gunboat \u201cAntelope.\u201d It is fully three inches high, nearly three inches broad and weighs 971 carats, a little more than seven -ounces (Troy).The color i* white, with a very slight bluish tint, anti its lustre is pronounced matchless At the centre is a very small black spot, which experts say will be removed easily in tho cutting.The British Government is reporto-i to have offered $2,500,000 for this diamoud, but the offer was refused.ITALY.Rome, Dec.30\u2014The Council of Ministers Of the Tommy\u2014\u201cI\u2019a, wiiat makes the stars so blight?''

The influence which Schumann\u2019s art has « X» ercised and is exercising in modern music cannot he overestimated.In conjunction with Chopin and Lis/t, he dominates at this time the whole literature of the piano while the iano com positions of his great contemporary lendelssohn, which were once exalted at Schumann\u2019s expense, would seem to he vanishing from the concert programme.In conjunction with his predecessor Franz Schubert, and in a higher degree than any contemporary,\u2014not even Robert Franz excepted,\u2014he pervades the literature of the musical romance\u201d ; while even here Mendelssohn is relegated ad acta.What a strange retribution of fate ! It is the old story of Nome Mendelssohn received, as it were, more than his due of admiration in advance ; Schumann, less than his due.Posterity had to balance (heir accounts.But it has, according to my opinion, in its demand for justice identified itself so completely with Schumann and his cause that Mendelssohn had been unfairly treated or directly wronged.This is true, however, only as regards the above mentioned genres, the piano and the musical romance.In orchestral compositions Mendelssohn still maintains his position, while Schumann has taken a pi ice at his side as his equal.1 say his equal, for surely no significance can he attached to the circumstance that a certain part of the younger generation (Wagnerian* chielly) have fallen into the habit of treating Schumann, as an orchestral composer, de haut en ba*.OF ALL PUBLICATIONS FOR BOYS and girls, St.Xicholas, conducted by Mary Mapes Dodge, is unquestionably the best.It has Ixvn praised by the pres* and th- people of two continent*.\u2014its cire dation i* unprecedented among niairazine* for young folks.Beginning with the number for November, 1893, it is enlarged by the addition of about 2(H) pages in the volume, and for 1893-94 it wrill have the greatest program in it* history, including A Natural History Series, brilliantly illustrated, describing the quadrupeds of North America in a popular way, by W.T.Homadav, recently Chief Taxidermist of the U.S.National Museum ; \u201cTorn Sawyer Abroad,\u201d a Serial Story by Mark Twain, in which the great hum iri-t\u2019s fanion» cr> a ions, \u201cTom Sawvor and \u201cM u-k'elierry Finn,\" visit the eastern heuospln re (in n flying-machine) ; a series on American Authors, by Brand-r Matthews, setting forth in clear and simple form the main b.ographical facts and the chief literary qualities of famous men in American literature, including Irving, Cooper.Bryant, Hawthorne, Emerson, Lowell, etc.*; Stories of India by Rudyard Kipling.When Rudyard Kipling was a boy in India he used to read St.Nicholas, and now he takes his turn at bringing delight to the thousands of young folk who read it to-day.He has written for St Nicholas a i-eries of remarkable stories of boy and girl life in the jungle and with animals.\"Recollections of Wild Life,\u201d by Dr Charles Eastman, a full blooded Sioux Indian, and a graduate of a white man's college (Dartmouth); a description of Indian life\u2014in camp and on the war-path,\u2014described from the inside.A novelty in literature.Papers on the Government.\u201cHow Money is Made\u201d (the Mint), \u201cHow the Treasury is Guarded.\u201d \u201cHew the Government Promotes Ingenuity\u201d (the Patent-Office', \u201cThe Dead-Letter Office,\u201d \u201cWith the West Point Cadets,\u201d \u201cHow Armies Talk to Each Other,\u201d \u201cLife on a Man-of-War,\u201d etc.Serial Stories by Howard Pyle.Frances Courtenay Baylor, .Tames Otis.Molly Elliot Seawbll and The Author of \u201cLady Jane.\u2019* THE FAMOUS \u201cBROWVIES/' by Palmer Cox, will also be a feature of St.Nicholas.Are you going to have Si.Nicholas in your home in \u201994?New subscribers should begin with November.Tho pries of St Nicholas is $3.00 a year.Everything in it is illustrated.Subscribe through booksellers and newsdealers, or remit to the publishers by check, draft, money or express-order.Don't miss the Christmas number.The Century Co., 33 East 17th Street, N.Y.Writ for the \u201cMiniature St.Nicholas\"\u2014free, Decemhe 30, 18!i3.CELEBRATED IS- MOISRED f« MMIt -TO ALL- OTHER BRAiNDS -BY- Tfiosa W!ia üm Ma Mal of It 1st o r_i c/ a/t i *11 INCÎîEOIENIï mi PERFECT!
