Sir Eobert Walpole, wlio re-
garded the whole bodyof literary
men with profound contempt,
would have been charmed had he
lived to see the fate of a motion
made in the British House of
other day. It was
~>rwacd on June 27, by
jpe, ami was i^frpw?
of aa address to the Queen, pray-
ing for the institution of an Order
ofMerit to be bestowed in recog-
ion of eminent desert of science,
ture and art. Lord Stan-
observed, in presenting his
a, that England was the
owM>f the Great Powers Of
ne that had not taken some
in this direction. Kearly all
* ioub deeoratiofis of the
countries are freely be-
on persons who have
ed distinction in the walks
In England, on the con-
twrwim^ the chief knightly orders
are religiously guarded from" all
but oertain privileged classes.
Tfe^ Garter, for instance, is con-
fined alnwst exclusively to peers.
Some commoners have had it, such
as Castlereagli and Walpole^and
it was refused by Pitt and Peek
On the whole, however, these
must be called highly etcep-
: and the sameis truedf the
tch Order of the Thistle arid
e Irish Order of St. Patrick,

sion of persons distinguished in
and art to orders of pteal*

i- The Administration, whose
spokesman was Lord Granville,
opposed the motion, not on the
score of principle, but of practical
difficulty in carrying the intended
measure into effect. It was point
ed out that, under despotic or ab-
solute - governments, where such
appointments or honors were ar-
conferred, the matter
was comparatively easy; but thaL
iu a constitutional country, ilnfl
one governed very much by the
force of public opinion, it was far
otherwise. There is no doubt
in this, and also in the

apt to diminish in value as time

The Council of Hygiene, of Bor-
deaux, says the British Medical
Journal, has issued the following
instructions:.
• A short time, sometimes two
days, after ma/lnpj^s has seized
the dog, it creates disturbances in
the usual condition of the animal,
which it is indispensable to know.
L There is agitation and restless-
ness ; the dog turns himself con-
tiuually in his kennel. If he be
at liberty, he goes and comes, and
seems to be seeking something ;
then he remains motionless, as it
waiting; he starts, bites the air,
seems as if he would catch a fly,
and dashes himself, howling and
barking, against the walk The
voice of the master dissipates
these hallucinations; the dog
obeys, but slowly, with hesitation,
as if with regret „ 2. He does not
but he gnaws his litter, the ends
of the curtains, the padding of
cushions, the coverlids of beds,
the carpets, etc. 3. By the move-
ment of his paws about the sides
of his open mouth, one might
thfrfr he was wishing to free his
iBftfoat of h bone. 4. His voice
has undergorie such a change that
it is impossible not to be struck by
itT 5. The dog begins to fight
with Other dogs; this is decidedly
U characteristic sign, if the dog bo
generally of a peaceful nature.
The numbers 3, 4, and 5, indicate
an already very advanced period
of the disease, and the time is at
hand when man will be exposed to
ifte dangerous fits of the animal,
if immediate measures be not
taken. These measures are to
chain hjm tip as dangerous, or
better still, to destroy him.

posing to work in his diocese. He

some of its features, that just dis-
closed by the.,arrest of Kate
StoddareUi^ New, ^ork. A cer-
tain M. Touchais, with money and
an iron constitution still resisting
his debauched habits^ rented a
room in the Bue de la Grange
Boteliwey wh«e he : received a
young widow, described as of ex-
cellent family, and jiassionately
attached to him. Her brother-in-
law was the other day waited
upon by ^ Touchais, who told
him that had committeil sui-
cide. He said they had dined to-
gether, and alter dinner he had
informed her, r that their intimacy
mast eeaee. She remonstrated
and entreated till he left her, ami,
on returning, he found her body
£wgtiughfel6tts from a rope. This
was his story. The corpse was
discovered as he had described it
After a police examination he was
locked UP* and, on the next morn-
ing, was in turn found hanging,
dead. Bemorse or the sense of
humiliation, or both, had driven
hin> to suicide- The Police Com-
missioner who had severely inter,
rogated him was satisfied that the
statement he had made was true,
ft is another case of a woman Won
and repelled, rendered desperate
enough for murder or self-des-
truction. The Brooklyn girl mur-
dered her paramour, and the Paris
girl took her f own life, aud so
brought to her lover the anguish
that souglit help in death.
