Is poisoned against this coun try by the stories circulated by the Ameri can railway companies the officials of which taking advantage of the Well known simplicity and innocence of the mennonites and their ignorance of our system of government imposed upon them a Well concocted tale. Doubtless they expected a wholesale Emi Gration from Manitoba to the Barren Fields of Kansas which would be highly profitable to the companies but very fortunately the cunning scheme resulted in nothing More than a temporary scare among the people they hoped to entice from their comfortable Homes. Or Ile Speler deserves the highest credit for his prompt action in the matter. Not Jack Keila. Or Leon Dupont. Having been charged with being the uionex1 of Milvor writes us a lengthy .

Good Bye my friends and Pray for is it incendiary so the late fire at the Selkirk House is More than suspected of having been caused by an incan . It appears that it was the third occasion within a inti us that an incipient fire has been discovered at this hotel and As Tho room in which the latest originated had not been occupied for nearly a week and there being no stove nor stove pipes in the room by which fire could have Boon Acci gently caused or. Houde the proprietor not wishing to labor under the stigma which is always attached to those who assist in carrying into effect the sen tence of the courts Dupont presents his proof that he is not the Man. The of Shelley. A ancient Mediterranean Mariner is said to have recently died at Spezzia who on Hir death bed confessed to the attending priest whom he commanded to make the confession after his death that he was one of the Crew of a Craft which ran Down Shel Ley s perfidious barque built in Tho eclipse and rigged with curses dark hitherto always supposed to have been Cap sized in a Squall and that the motive of himself and his fellow pirates was to Rob and kill the Rich Milor Byron whom they supposed to be on Board. Shelley and his companion Williams were drowned july 7th, 1822, so that if this vicious moribund Mariner told the truth he Han carried his secret Over half a Century in the face of that waxing flood of Light which the years have continued and As they will continue to pour around Shelley s memory and Fame and in spite of the diligent retrospection of a steadily increasing Host of biographers. The fact might be True As stated. The pen insula robbers of that period Wero not All confined to the mountains. They could do a stroke of piracy too at need sweeping the watery highways As Well As those of the land. Byron was a showy figure among the italians lavish of his lire and saudi and the rude popular imagination May very Likely have accredited him with the habit of carrying vast sums of Money upon his person like a wandering jew or an american Mer chant or a Thrifty and successful neapolitan beggar. They could not readily attack him on land for he usually kept a Large retinue and was not without Means of Protection. I have rough handed people about he writes to sir Walter Scott As indeed he had one of his servants having just stabbed an officious sergeant major making no end of a Row with the Little tuscan govern whose Soldier the sergeant major was. If the robbers could have found him at sea in such a Light defenceless bark As that to which Shelley so unhappily confided a freight More precious than himself or the heedless world knew or dreamed of they would have done precisely As this Spazian Buccaneer says he and his Fellows did and left the handsome tumultuous lord no longer voice Ful stripped and adrift on the Mediterranean Waves. It would have Lent new solemnity to his thoughts As a month later he ministered beside the burning fun Alfonso unit his Mamma. From the n y Herald. In the Case of Spain the world has before it one of those Serio comic spectacles in government that were very common in Europe in the last Century and in virtue of which a play like the grand Duchess of which to us is merely a musical extravaganza would in Many cities have been accepted or resented solely As a Politi Cal satire. Fortunately for Spain her Young Monarch perceives the scandal and the Ridi Cule that would be brought upon his author Ity and his administration if he permitted the antics and bad associations that ruined his Mother to be carried on in her interest about his throne and he con sequently will Uii none of it. Lie has a fact put Hll of Down on this subject with an Energy that is greatly admired in Madrid and he keeps it Down with a firm Ness that has astonished his Mother and Dis gusted Marforio. Marforio was sent to Spain by Isabella on a secret was to smooth the Way for her it is bettor to be a dowager in Madrid than an exile in Paris with an allowance so Small _ As to compel an occasional resort to the police courts to determine the disputes of the Kitchen administration. Marforio however was a bad ambassador and demanded admission to his majesty with impertinent additions lie was therefore admitted to now we Are informed he had been arraigned. Isabella threatened to withdraw her abdication and did Many things extravagant and furious but All to no is finally informed that her perpetual ban is mint from Spain has been formally de Creed. His possible complication with the entourage of his Mother was not the least of the difficulties that threatened Alfonso on his accession but he seems to have got Over it very successfully unless Isabella like another Serpent of old shall yet come up in some More dangerous shape. Two Hundred and fifty persons were killed or drowned nearly tour thousand dwellings destroyed by the Hurricane which passed Over the philippine Island on nov. 30th. Notices.
