The hounds had a most fortunate escape, as the leader had just viewed the deer, and was within thirty yards of her when the train dashed past. A minute or so later and the consequence might have been fearful. Some of the hunters were close following the hounds at a break-neck pace and could not possibly have pulled up in time to avoid being smashed to pieces by the train, which was running at the rate of 45 miles an hour. lamping out in British India. Fn.ni all accounts the Commissariat arrangements of the Indian army are none of the best.

An officer now engaged against the Looshai tribes describes the rations served out daily as execrable; beef disgusting; pork and mutton not much better. An Indian newspaper writingon the same subject says Both officers and men who have faced the food have suffered severely from diarrhoea, dysentery, or some sort of bowel complaint," and adds that the Indian government should directa searching inquiry into this matter. The public are ready to pay for all necessary operations but they have a right to demand that their officers who" are exposing their lives and" constitutions, living in grass huts, sleeping on damp ground, and sacrificing every comfort in the course of their service, should hive ecmewhat more care taken of them than a terri in FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. avion of Dutch Possessions to Great Britain. There appears to have been intense excitement at The Hague lately in consequence of the cession of the Dutch possesions and protectorates on the coast of Guinea to the English crown.

Few persons snow or care anything about the extent of territory owned by Great Britain on the African coast, and still fewer understand the relations of the British government to Ihe native tribes in that unpleasantly warm portion cf the globe, but it appears that the Dutch understand both, for they have opposed the act of their government tooth and nail. The court, the government and the assembly were on one side; public-feeling was on the other, and very decidedly, too, on the other. The treaty ceding the possessions was published in the Daghlad with a black border. Nevertheless, the Englkdinien have bought the Dutch out cf their station of Ehnina on the Gold Coast, and now-Great Britain owns, or rather exercises a protectorate, over the whole of the west court- of Africa from Gambia to Lagos. The origin of the treaty appears to have been a confusion of rights respecting two forts within short distances of each other, the one owned ty England, the other by The Netherlands, and both, of course, controlling the trade of that part of the country.

Whether there was at any timo aetual hostility ietween these rival establishments, it is not possible to say, but the unpleasant nearness of the one to the other was not agreeable to either party, so the Dutch have sold their possession for a sum of money, and on the understanding that Great Britain will in turn make way for Holland in Sumatra, Napoleon III. Considerable condolence and kind sympathy are being expressed in behalf of the exiled Eniperor, and that, too, from quarters whence it should be least expected. Above all, we can admit no just grouuds for this outspoken sympathy from American lips, and here only, to speak more to the point, do we discover this spirit. "What has the ex-Emperor ever done to deserve admiration? He successfully destroyed tho liberties of France in 1852, and governed the country for nineteen years on his own responsibility, until he run the ship of state ashore upon the breakers. His grand coup d'itat in December was stained bycrimes of the most frightful character, and his administration was a national suicide.

His expeditions to Mexico and to Some, both of which were egregious blunders and failures, exhibited his incomietency. In the former was screened a bold and graceless insult to this country, then too busy in putting down rebellion at. home to spare a thought upon France and her soldiers of fortune at the helm. In our way of thinking, the Bonaparte blood has been the bane of France and half the world, whether we allow any of it to flow in the present outcast's veins or not. Tlie ignorance of the masses in France is one great secret why they have been such pliant tools in the hands of knavery, a fact which not a little surprised their for the generosity of private individuals.

Africans consider the white ant a rare delicacy, and travellers who have tasted this dish on the Gold coast say it very delicate.

There are said to be nine cities in Germany and two in Italy, each with a Lincoln street. Social and political innovations are the themes of general discussion in England at the present time demagogues are rising to the surface in impurities do in all cases of fermentation. appears that considerable restlessness is once more visible in India among the native tribes, aud the English officers write home rather significant letters. Nothing very decided is announced, however.

Of this amount gallons are said to be consumed at home.

An insult resented. A lady of the name of Kisne, who behaved very nobly both to French and German wounded during the Strasburg siege, has lately been awarded the Iron Cross of Germany, by the Empress Augusta. Madam Kisne declined and returned the decoration to Prince Bismark, accompanied by a letter in which she says "I cannot receive an honorary distinction from the hands' of a sovereign who has caused my country and my native town to be invaded, burned and plundered. What I did for the German wounded was only the effect of the good heart of a Frenchwoman, who can never understand cruelty to the vanquished, to invalids, women, and children. Please to return this cress to the Empress of Germany it would be an insult to an Alsatian woman to accept it." The Great Tunnels.

The following comparative statements concerning the two great tunnels of the world are interesting: Mont Cenis Tunnel length 12,236 met or nearly 8 miles width, 2fi ft et 8 inches height, 20 feet cost, time occupied in construction, nine years; number of workmen employed, about 2000. Hootac Tunnel length, 26,061 feet, or nearly 5 miles; width, 24 feet; height, 21 cost about time of construction, when nearly completed, twenty years; number of workmen employed, about 700 at present.bnt much less during most of the time the work has been prosecuted. There is every reason to believe that the Horwae Tunnel will be completed before March 15, 1874 the date named in the contract. Black and Caspian Seas. Herr Blum's plan for cutting a canal between the Black Sea and the Caspian is still much talked of.

It would be of the highest strategetical importance to Russia in the event of a war in the South or the East, for it would enable her fleets on the Black Sea an.l the Caspian to nnite in a very short time for the purpose of attack or defence. From a commercial point of view the advantages would be doubtless great. At present the commerce on both seas is hampered by their having no outlet, but even in 1868, 824 ships, of 68,910 tons, entered the Russian harbors on the Caspian, and the coasting trade there was greater than on the Black Sea. If the two Feas were connected, tho trade upon them would be increased tenfold. The Royal Plate of England.

The royal plate at Windsor which is kept in a tolerably-sized room and an adjoining closet, is valued at 1,750,000 sterling! There is one gold service, formed by George to dine one hundred and thirty guests. Some pieces were taken from the Armada, seme brought from India, Burmah, China. There are thirty dozen of plates which cost, twenty-sis guineas each plate. This is only a portion of the royal wealth of England, hi this one item of domestic necessity. In the Tower of London are all manner of gold salt-cellars, drinking-cups, 8oons, which in value represent an additional million or so.

A London chemist says, out of twenty samples of bakers bread analyzed and examined by him, only three were posit ively genuine, while sixteen were contaminated with an actual poison. The quantity, he says, is not so great as to show immediate effects, but thousands are unconsciously consuming a half grain of sulphate of copjier every daya habit that cannot be long practiced with impunity. As he suggests, however, the fault may not rest entirely with the bakers, since there are inferior brands of flour in the market warranted to make white bread without the use of alum. Alining in Siam.

The King of Siam is resolved to avail himself of the knoweledge and experience of the English miners and men of science. Several Cornish tin miners have been engaged to proceed to Siam to work over the auriferous deposits of that country and Mr. Charles Twite, a gentleman who has spent many years in Paraguay as mineral surveyor, under the late President Lopez, is epgaged to go at once to Siam to direct in the first place, the mining operations, and during the hot season, when work hi the field is not possible, to give instruction in geology to the youth of Siam. Double Attack of Small-pox. The generally received idea that small-pox never attacks a person but once is destined to be upset by the following account of a 'second attack which we get from the British Medical Press and Circular.

It appears that a policeman of Wolverhampton, was attacked with the fearful disease soon after its aj pearance in that town, but he recovered, and resumed his duty. A short time afterwards he was a second time attacked with the disorder, but in a milder form, and is at present in hospital slowly recovering. Just Precaution. In Munich it is required that every corpse shall be publicly exposed in the cemetery before the burial service can take place. The features of the dead can be seen through the windows of the room, their bodies elegantly draped and covered with flowers.

In the right hand of each is a small cord that reaches upward to a bell. A watchman is always at hand. Burial alive is supposed to be impossible under this arrangement. The law has been enforced for hundreds of years, but there is no record of a life saved by it. Foreign Mortgages.

It costs nothing to record a mortgage in Russia, one dollar in Geimany, three dollars in France, and five dollars in Italy. In Turkey no property-ownjr can give a mortgage on his real estate. When he loans money on it, he has to obtain a permit from the magistrates of his city or town, and they see to it that he pays his creditor at the appointed time. A Russian emancipated serf cannot sell his property except when the whole of the tax-payers in his community allow him to do so. The Japanese.

The last census of Japan gives the number of the inhabitants at 34,785,321. 1,872,959 are engaged in literature and the military service; 31,954,821 belong to the trading and working classes. The number of priestB of Buddha amounts to 244,809, and that of priests of Situ to 163,140. The receipts of the Government are estimated at 61,118,438. The Livingstone Expedition.

Five thousand pounds of which London gives more than half have been subscribed for the new exnedi- tkn in search of Dr, Livingstons. This scais well i '3 I 3 'Gciman captors, when they found that scarcely one in a hundred of the minor officers among their prisoners could even sign their own names! May it not prove, after all, that France has finally and permanently drifted into the safe haven of republicanism? Modern Warfare. A Kussian official journal writing of the requirements of modern warfare, remarks that The events cf the last few years have shown that war now demands numerous armies, which can oidy be created by the adoption of obligatory military service for all, and by the formation of considerable reserves of men exercised in the profession of arms. A State should also be always ready quickly to mobilize its armies, and to provide them, by precautionary measures taken in time of peace, with the necessary means for sustaining a dPsperate conflict." In accordance with this view the Russian war department are reorganizing their army. Glancing over the details of the plan wluch the Russian government intends to adopt in future, we find it has for its object the German system of tactical organization of troops in unison with their territorial distribution, and in fact the war department aims throughout to copy the system of the German army.

If the recent Fanco-Prussian war has had no other effect, it has certainly-drawn the attention of European powers to the excellence of the Prussian army organization. Great Britain has assimilated hers to it. Austria is following the example of Great Britain; when affairs in France become a little more settled, we shall probably hear of the same being done there; and Russia is now occupying her attention with this matter of Continental importance. French Politics. To say the least of it, French politics are decidedly mixed.

The Republican party gains strength but slowly, and the nation seems hardly tit to govern itself, the rank and file of the people being far behind their late enemies in intelligence. The "man of destiny" is not dead, but sleeping at Chislehnjsr Jm.i ja fully equal to the game his uncle 'aved from his retreat in Elba. The Orleans Princes, too, are quite at home, and are unscrupulous enough for any adventure. And last, though iierhaps not least, the Count Cham-bord is rallied about by those who are termed legitimists. The Count lives at Lucerne, Switzerland, where his adherents often meet together in large numbers.

France has no more determined and obstinate man to contend with than Count Chambord. Private letters state that Naiioledn, who for the last few years has been largely influenced by Eugenie feels deserted in her absence, and with spirits of course more or less broken, requires some one to lean upon. But like the rest of the world, when misfortune sets in, he must expect the hollow-hearted associates and pretended friends of his court to hasten away like rats from the sinking ship. As to Thiers, he lost more prestige by the judicial murder of ltossol than he can recover in a lifetime; and ignominy is heaped upon him, not alone by the people of France, but by half the civilized world. paiu Anti-Slavery Conference.

A most important movement is now going on in Spain in favor of the abolition of slavery in the Spanish West Indies. Semi-monthly conferences are fceing held and will be continued until the next opening of the Cortes for the purpose of directing public attention to this important subject. It is stated, moreover, that eighty newspapers have already joined and signed the anti-slavery league, and that addresses favoring its object are being printed and circulated for sale at an infinitesimal price. Such news is most gratifying and encouraging, and is indicative of the rapid progrecs of public opinion in Spain in favor of emancipation. Signor A cost the Porto-Rican minister, lately, at a public meeting in Madrid, made the gratifying announcement that many owners in the island from which he was accredited had spontaneously freed their slaves, and remarked that if this slavery question were not now and forever settled, it would be the fault of the Spanish government in direct opposition to public opinion in Spain, and the desire of the owners in the West Indies.

The Porto Rico deputy was applauded with great enthusiasm, and there is little doubt but that Spain will, at no distant date, follow the example of all civilized nations and abolish slavery from her dominions. Breaches of Promises in Japan. The curious hold superstition has on the mind of the Japanese is well illustrated by the proceedings taken by a Japanese damsel when a lover proves false to his vows. When the world is at rest, at two o'clock in the morning, the woman generally rise3. She dons a white robe and high sandals or clogs.

Her coif is a metal tripod, in which are thrust three lighted candles; around her neck she hangs a mirror, which falls upon her bosom in her left hand she carries a small Btraw figure the effigy of her faithless lover; and in her right she grasps a hammer and nail, with which she fastens it to one of the sacred trees that surround the shrine. Then she prays for the death of the traitor, vowing that if her petit! be heard she will herself pull out the nails which offend the god by wounding the mystic tree. Niht after night she comes to the shrine, and each night she strikes in two more nails, believing that every nail will shorten her lover's life; for the god, to save his tree, will surely strike him dead. Cheops. Have any of our readers an adequate conception of the vast size of the Egyptian PyranuMs? A frieul-lately returned from thence, who has visited the grand pyramid of Cheops, wading in the deep sand fourt een hundred feet before he had passed one of its si les and between five and six thousand feet before he had made the circuit, says, that taking one hundred Boston churches of the ordinary width, and arran'in-thtm in a hollow square, twenty-five on a side, you would have scarcely th.j basement of this pyramid.

Take another hundred and throw the material in the hollow square and it would not be full pile on all the tricks and mortar in the city of New York, and the structure would not be so high and solid as this great work of mnn. One layer of bricks was long since removed to Cairo for building purposes, and enough remains to supply the demands of a city of half a million of people for a century to come, if permitted to use it with perfect freedom. Cheops was built 2123 years before the Christian era. Perils of Stag-Hunting; in England. There was a meet of the subscription pack of stag-hounds belonging to the County of Surry, England'a short time since.

The deer, a splendid animal, premising a good run to a numerous field was uncarted, and went off at a great pace, huntsmen, and hounds following.
