'iDe inquiry instituted by the Government with commendable promptitude into the causes which fed to the terrible catastrophe at Dervis, has t-izeady had one important result. The local E'juiicipality have been proved by overwhelming < idence to have grossly neglected their duties, d the Mayor has, in consequence, been sus- pended pending further investigation. The be- haviour of the inhabitants of the afflicted district, which was at first all that could be desired, has recently changed for the worse in conse- quence of the ill-timed fanaticism of a local priest, 'Abo proclaimed from the pulpit that th* :;at»6trophe was a punishment sent by God in iokeos of his anger for their neglect of spiritual ;3at-w inn other misbehaviour.

FOKTY-FIVE VESSELS ICEBOUND. We have received the following from Lloyd's:— Intelligence from Newfoundland, dated St. John's, June 7, says: A heavy gale from tbe north- east has been blowing since noon yesterday, with a mountainous sea. Thirty sealing schooners are immured in heavy field iee in the northern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and their crews are reported to be starving. Another report, dated 12th June, states that fifteen sealing schooners which fitted out and cleared from the Magdalen which fitted out and cleared from the Magdalen Islands, are firmly jammed in an icefield north of the Straits of Belle Isle, and the crews are all destitute of food and in a starving condition. Ten men volunteered to haul a boat over the ice, in whioh for nearly twenty miles there was neither crank nor rent. They were in an exhausted con- dition when they reached tbe shore. Her Majesty's sh p Foam left St. John's, N.F., for the West Coast on the nitht of the 11th June."

MONAGHAN ELECTION.-RESULT.
MONAGHAN ELECTION.-RESULT. A PETITION TO BE LODG D. The poll was deolared on Monday. Result HEALY (Nationalist) 2276 MONROE (Conservative) 2011 PBINGLE (Liberal) 274 Beyond the parading of the streets by a mob with a couple of bands there was no demonstra- tion in Monaghan, and the evening passed off quietly. Mr. Healy addressed a crowd from his com- mittee room window. He congratulated the electors on the fact that they had returned him at the head of the poll. Monaghan, in all its history, bad never seen a day like that. For years and generations they had been struggling on in behalf of the popular cause. Year by year they had been defeated, but never losing hope, never losing courage. Like a gallant army defeated in the first charge they had returned again and again to the I battle, and had at length carried both positions. He congratulated the patriotic party in Ireland upon what they had done. What would be Mr. Gladstone's feelings when he read the result of the poll. Mr. Gladstone had refused to give them an amended Land Act, and had refused to give the tenants the benefit of the improvements they had made. He had dared to put forward a candidate for that county, and Monaghan had sent him back. (Groans.) The lesson that Monaghan bad taught that haughty Minister would never be forgotten as long as Glad- stone's Cabinet held together. Monaghan had spoken in the name of Ulster that day, and had flung itself into the arms of Ireland. The cause of the people had triumphed; the cause of land- lordism had been trampled under foot, and the election for Monaghan represented the demand by Ulster and Monaghan for speedy reform. Mr. Parnell also addressed the crowd, saying the struggle in which they had been engaged would be as memorable in the annals of Ireland as the victory of the great O'Connell at Clare. They had fought a fight that day which would be fought many times over at the next election, and they would find the north would sent a strong contin- gent to the National party. He could not over- rate the importance of their victory. It would lead to the reopening of the Land Question, and to other great reforms which the Irish party had de- manded. and they would see the day when Irish. men would make laws for Ireland on their own native soil. The Press Association's Monaghan correspondent telegraphs that the following notice had been lodged with the High Sheriff of county Monaghan by Mr. James Brass, agent for Mr. Pnngle Sir, Take notice that rule 37 of the Ballot Act of 1872, which by section 28 of the said Act is incor- porated with the said Act, provides that you shall not open the sealed packet of tendered ballot papers or marked copy ot the voters, or counterfoils. Now, as solicitor and conducting agent for Mr. Henry Pringle, I caution you not to open the sealed packet of tendered ballot papers, or the marked copy of the registry, or counterfoils, and if you do so I will use this notice in anv proceedings I may take. Notwithstauding this notice, it is stated counter- foils and a marked registry have been opened, con. trary to the objection of both Mr. Brass and Mr. Finnigan, representing Mr. Monroe. It is asserted that Mr. Monroe will at once file a petition, and that the points raised are considered f;tal to the election. This circumstance has created great excitement in Monaghan.
FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR.
FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR. THE BOMKARDMENT OF TAMATAVE. TAMATAVE, June 14 ("ia Aden, July 1). As soon as it was known that the Hovas had re- jected the Ultimatum presented by the French Commander, the majority of the foreign resi- dents here took refuge on board the ships in the harbour. The bombardment of the fort lasted two hours. The Hovas made no reply to the French fire. and evacuated the fort after it had been struck by the first few sfcells. The town itself was lIet on fire in several places. partly by the French shells and partly by the native inhabitants, who seemed determined that t be French should gain nothing by the occupation. Fortunately, none of the foreign residents lost their lives, and their property did not suffer much iujury. rhe French landed on the 11th, about nine hundred men coming off to occupy the town. Within half an bout from the time they landed they took possession of the fort, there being no one inside to offer any resistance. Steps were immediately taken to strengthen the fort, and the French mounted some of their own guns in it, so as to be able to make a eood defence in case they were attacked. Five hundred of the men were left as a garrison, and the rest subsequently returned to the ships. The Hovas fravo retreated to the hills near the town, where they are being reinforced from the capital. A conflict is expected, as the French pickets are feeling their way towards the interior. The French flag was hoisted at the fort to-day, and the town is in a &tate of siege. We are under military law; the Custom House is in possession of the French, who are collecting the duties, and the authority of the Foreign Consuls is entirely superseded. Communication with the interior of the coun- try is exceedingly unsafe. All French subjects were ordered to quit die capital on the outbreak of hostilities. None of them, however, have arrived at the coast, and grave fears are enter- tained as to their safety. It is seriously doubted whether, when the news of the bombardment of this town and of 'the other forts and villages along the coast reaches Antananarivo, the Mala- g"y authorities will be aule to afford protection to the foreigners residing there, whatever their nationality may be. When this place was bombarded the number of British subjects living in the town was about six hundred.—Standard.

THE TURKISH ARMY.
THE TURKISH ARMY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Monday. Kaehler Pasha, before his departure on leave, laid before the Saltan a report in which he described the actual condition of the army, and the reforms which he considered it absolutely necessary should be introduced. At the same time he declared that so long as Osman Pasha remained Minister of War reform was impossi- ble. After having made such a charge against his superior officer, and seeing that his remonstrance had ne effect, KaeWer Pasha had no alternative but to seed 1D his resignation. This his Majesty is nnwiii- ing to accept, as a grave military might arise, and tpo much attention nHgh e drawn to the state of the War Department. M.

THE IRISH PAUPER EMIGRANTS IN AMERICA. | NEW YOBK, Monday Mornfng. The United States Government are apparently determined that there shall be no misunder- standing as to the course they intend to pursue in regard to the landing on American soil of destitute emigrants. It has been finally determined that such persons, no matter of what nationality, shall be returned with the least possible delay to the places whence they came, and it is evident that the distressing scenes which have already taken place in carrying out the orders of the Government will not be allowed to weigh against the settled determination here to put a stop once for all to what was a great and growing evil. The re-export of the unhappy paupers com- menced in earnest on Saturday, when noiewerthan 16 persons were reahipped on board a steamer be- longing to the Anchor Line, by which company they had been conveyed from Ireland to New York. The following is a list of these unfortu- nates:—Mary Brennen, and daughter aged live years; John Sullivan, John and Mary Clifford, a married couple, with two little boys aged four and two years; Anna Brady, a woman with an infant at breast; and Neal Logue. with his wife and family of five children. The whole of these people have been lodged since their arrival more than a week ago in the Emigrant Department at Castle Garden. Thev have been repeatedly under examination by the Commissioners appointed from Washington, and were well aware of the objects of these inquisi- tions, but almost up to the last moment cherisbt-d the hope that they would not be turned back from that land of promise, the prospect of reaching which had even lightened the hard- ships of a crowded steerage voyage across the Atlantic. On Saturday, however, they were informed that they would not be allowed to remain in America, and only a short time before the hour at which the steamer was to sail they were ordered to get ready for their return voyage. The arrangement of their soanty belongings did not take long, and was effected in gloomy silence, only broken by the occasional sobbing of the women. The warning that the hour of departure had actually arrived was the signal for more weeping and wailing, and other manifestations of grief. It was a touching spectacle to observe the mute despair with which some of the poor women pot their thin hands, with the corners oi their soiled and tattered aprons, to their eyes. Most of the men showed some emotion, and all were filled with gloomy forebodings of the coming steerage miseries. Anna Brady was the most de- monstrative of the whole batch. She protested against being sent back as a pauper, and declared that she would throw herself and her infant overboard rather than return to Ireland. Her baby, by the way, was born daiing the voyage from Valentia to New York, and, in her deposi- tion, made before the Castle Garden authorities, she gave the name of the father of the child, who, she said, had promised to follow her to America almost immediately. Nearly all of the sixteen whose names I hav enumerated have been sent direct from Iris j] Workhouses, and are evidently incapable of m, .it taining themselves. There are, however, o' úbe paupers to be sent off, and a number of casep to be adjudicated upon. John McCarthy a' hi blind wife who were sent here straigb .5 fron the workhouse in Tralee, county Kerrv have received notioe that they Cf Duot & permitted to remain in this cou otry, anc will be reehippedon board the steam ship Span of the National Line. In addition to these casei the following persons have already been deciarec paupers, ajid wiH be taken back by the steam ship oompanies responsible for the,ir importation —Adolph Germains, his wife, and family of thre< children; these came over in the, Egyptian Mon areh, of the Monarch Line, &Ilil their expense! were paid by the Ladies' Committee of the Jewish Board of Guardians, London. Adolph Lewin, a native of Germany; he came 'oy one of the Red Star Liners, at the cost of a German Society in London. Peter Oarfcy, an Irishman, who travelled by the Imnan Line, acoompa nied by his wife and five children. Public feeling in this country is very bitter on this subject of pauper immigration, and even if the Government were so inclined, which I have no reason to suppose, they could not, in the face of the popular clamour, neglect to deal with the matter eaei geticaily. Up till yesterday week immigrants were freely admitted, and it was only wben the Famessia arrived with over 300 state- aided emigrants on board, most of whom the newspapers alleged were paupers, that the Washington authorities were moved to order Commissioner Stephenson to institute inquiries, which he did in the most thorough manner, in- vestigating each «ase personally. He found that there remained substantial ground for Govern- mental interference. He reported to this effect to Washington, whence he was instructed by Secre- tary Folger to send back all those who were likely to become a burden on the State, and this rule is is future to be rigorously applied to all persons landing at Castle Gardens. Yesterday morning the Commissioners sent the following circular letter to the representatives of the various steam- ehip companies trading to America:— "To prevent delay in the landing of steerage passen- ffets, the Commissioners of Emigration are willing to I «oBt*aoe to Mceive them at Castle Garden as hewetot*we, provided you give this board a wr't'm gu&raa**e that YOU will immediate to th. lr\!efd' recflve on board and r £ *mzn to the ports from whence they came all pas- 1DipeCti0n at castle Garden, are found to have been broight in violation of the law. Failing to give Bach guarantee will compel the Commissioner direct that each steerage passengiir shall in future •e singly inspected on board the vessel before being permitted to land." The steamship companies are not likely to mis- understand the language of this note, which ib really an official threat to make things genera! jv unpleasant for them in the event of their declin Ùløc to faoilitate the plans of the Government in the manner requested. The inspection of steerage passengers afloat would, as a matter of fact, dela, the vessels three or four days, which, in the facr of the severe competition at present prevailing it the shipping trade, would be a very serious matter. I have made it my business to see these UD- happy people, and to read their depositions. I have also been present when they have been ex- amined by the Emigration Commissioners, and I can testify to the care with which each case has been investigated. What I have seen and heard compels me to come to the conclusion that the action of the United States authorities is felly justified, Aid it ought to be thoroughly under- stood in the United Kingdom that it is perfectly naeleas to send emigrants unless they are capable ot worlung for their living and are without the fatal eneumbrance of old or infirm relatives de- pending upon them for support. Nor should it be forgotten that in all cases a few pounds in money will be invaluable, and in many cases indispensable, in order to enable the new comers to make a fair start in the country of their adop- tion. These neoessary details have not been neglected by private agencies, notably by the Tuke Committee, amongst whose people, as I have already informed yon, not one landed penniless. The English Government, before send ing ns shiploads of poor people should have en gaged an experienced person here, or sent some one out to assist and advise the immigrants on their arrival, and their representative should have been provided with funds and a discre- tionary power to use them. Even in the worm, cales the sum of five pounds would have made all the difference between destitution and com- parative competence. Americans believe thev have tbe right to demand these and similar o»fI guards, and are not unnaturally irritated at what to them appears inexplicable carelessness. yesterday morning a steamer arri^;) f»*rer than 700 Mormon immigrant!

BRIDAL COSTUMES.—We have learnt to consider wh.te as essentially bridal costume, but it has not been always so and even now the Bokhara bride wear? a ruse-cololl red veil on her marriage day, and in the modern Greek isl mds the bridal veil is of red silk-. custom which has descended, no doubt, from the flamen," or red bridal veil, of ancient Greece the Romans in old days wearing yellow veils. The Armenian bride, on the most important day of her life, appears in what closely resembles a sack made of rich silk, completely enveloping the figure, feet, and head. The face is further hidden by a linen veil, over which falls another of golden tinsel, and a part of the ceremonial is for the priest's wife to dye the nails of the bride a deep red with henna. In Turkey, the bride appears in rich white satin brocade, shot with silver, and bedizened with pearls, a jewelled girdle round her waist, her face painted—a crimson patch the shape <r a heart on her chin, the rest of the visage a mass k white, except the black-pencilled eyebrows. — F7 of Famous Weddings and Brides," in CasselFs Fa om Magazinernily WINDOW PnxTS.—I will now speak of those which are to climb and form by their hanging 1 J plants and leaves that framework of green which jranches inside looks so refreshing and pretty.

GRANDCOURT — He waft i slightly taller than herself, and their eyes seemed 14 be on a level; there was not the faintest smile on hot i face as he looked at her, not a trace of self-oon? i sciousness or anxiety in his bearing; when he raisea I his hat he showed an extensive baldness, surrounded s with a mere tringe of reddish blond hair, but he aho showed a perfect hand the line of feature from brow to chin undisguised by beard was decidedly handsome, with only moderate departures from the perpendicular, and the slight whisker too was per- pendicular. It was not possible for a human aspect j to be fre r from grimace or solicitous wrigglings; also, it was perhaps not possible for a breathing man wide awake to look less animated. The correct Eng/ishman, drawing himself up from his bow into rieidity, assent- ing severely, and seeming to be in a state of internal drill, suggests a suppressed vivacity, and may be sus- pected of letting go with some violence when he is released from parade; but Grandcourt's bearing had no rigidity, it inclined rather to the flaccid. His com- plexion had a faded fairness resembling that of an actress when bare of the artificial white and red; his long narrow grey eyes expressed nothing but indiffer- ence. Attempts at description are stupid; who can all at once describe a human being ? even when he is pre- sented to us we only begin that knowledge of his ap- pearance which must be completed by innumerable impressions under different circumstances. We recog- nise the alphabet; we are not sure of the language.— "Daniel Dcronda," Part II. How TO HANG PICTURES.-No picture ought to be hung higher than the height of the average human eye when the owner of the eye is standing. It is the almost universal rule in our houses to hang pictures much above this level, and they cannot be enjoyed there. If the picture is a portrait, or if it have human faces in it, its eyes should look as nearly into ours as possible; and if there be no such simple guide, perhaps a good rule will be to have the line that divides the picture horizontally into equal parts level with the eye. If one starts in hanging pic- tures with the determination to place them so that they can be easily seen and enjoyed without stretch- ing the neck the least, or stooping the body, he will be pretty sure to do well. In remote farm- houses and country taverns we often see pictures, par- ticularly portraits, skyed as high as if their owners had been Academy hangers, and the painters young rivals of a new school. I suppose the reason is that the simple-hearted owners think a picture such a precious thing it can't be hung too securely out of the reach of meddling hands. They are often not clear in their minds as to what a picture is meant for, and not finding in it any practical relation to human life and society, they treat it with reverence and put it where it will disturb them as little as possible. But, as people come to enjoy pictures and get fltfme intellectual, spiritual nourishment out of them, they want them, as they want their books, where they can see them and use them.-Prom Clarence Cook's Papers on House Fur- nishing, in Scribner's Monthly. THE REAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND RoMB.—It is the teaching of the Reformed Church that, through the atoning blood of Christ, man, if truly repenting and heartily believing, receives, directly and without any other agency whatever, pardon and abso- lution. He," saith our form of absolution, He, and He alone, pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent and unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel." But what saith the Church of Bo "e ? I will use the words and definitions of the distinguished modern writer to whom I have already referred:—" These three acts," says this writer, "contrition, confession, and satisfaction, are the conditions to priestly absolution." And then ? is remission complete in all its con- sequences? does the Holy Spirit, according to the teaching of the Church of Rome, work, as we in our form of absolution inferentially declare He does wort m the pydoned soul ?
