      , It is said that the Globe and the Sun are shortly to become one . In \ spite © f this alarming rumour , from what we know of the two papers in | question , we do not expect a conflagration of the Thames to result I from the connection ! ,-...

      A correspondent , wiio dates from the Athenaeum Club , calls our attention to the fact that in the preface to * ' White Z , ies , " the original author declares his intention of teaching the " Mill horses of the Boulevards " Tiow to write a French novel ! This is simply charming when we remember the source from which , the plot of the story was derived . However , Englishmen should remember the proverb that tells them of the fate of those who " put their trust in a Reade . "

      The staff of officers sent out to the Mediterranean to buy mules for the Abyssinian expedition have not turned out so great a failure as an-: ticipated . Knowing people wrote to the newspapers to say that with ) the exception of a dozen or two animals which we ourselves had taken : to Constantinople during the Russian war , riot a beast was to be had at . any of the ports to which our agents had been despatched . This is not I the case . Mules , though perhaps a little expensive , are not scarce on I the . Mediterannean , for we hear that we have already bought 20 , 000 of j them at an average price of ^ 50 a-piece . A million pounds' worth of j mules ! War is an expensive luxury .

      j The London police are more zealous than particular . Last week j when a man gave himself np as the murderer of the bandsman , he was I placed with fifteen others for identification by Furber who was with j McDonnell when the fatal shot was , fired . As the self-accused mur-; derer was a man who had been a teacher of languages , and was altogether of a very different stamp to the gaol birds with whom he wasplaced , i it was not difficult for the witness to pick bim out as the man to be identified ; . but Furber stated at the time that with the exception of being ^ j about the same height he was not in the least like the man who shot McDonnell . The next morning , when the case came on before the magistrate , the police-inspector stated in evidence that Furber had recognised the prisoner as one of the assassins . Fortunately , Furber was at hand to contradict the police-officer , but it was scarcely a creditable mistake . When a murder is committed , let somebody be hung , by all means but if possible , let it be the right man . , 1
