About the same time one of the young ladies of the family missed a diamond ring, which, it was supposed, had been stolen from the house. A few days later an adlvertise. ment was noticed giving the nlame of the little owner of the silk handkerchief, and saying that something of interest could be learned by calling at a desig nated street and number. Th.e call was made, and the hanadkerohief found with the diamond ring wrapped up in it. The family who had been at so much pains to return the lost articles to their owi ars had lost everything by the flood. JUDGE AnLISON, of .Philadelphia, has held that under the law of Pennsylvania a sale of goods by sample does not amount to a warranty that the article sold and to be delivered shall correspond in quality with the sample. He says the risk is that of the purchaser, who must "beware of the seller" in all such purchases. But he adds that where "a sample is made the standard of quality, an implication of warranty arises, as where the buyer orders goods of the same quality as the sample or the soller undertakes to deliver them of the same quality." Inaamauch as all the grain sold in hulk and nearly all the merchandise of the country is sold by sample and can be traded in with expedition in nc other way, it might be well to hold the sellers to a stricter responsibility than im implied in Judge Allison's decision.

The weaker the muscles of the back. the back and Ibhod ponderance may be insured, the London ipeetator says that the British navy should be strengthened to the point of being able to successfully combat with anv comb;ination of foreign navies that could be brought against it. The Inflex ble is proudly pointed to as the mosi pooerful vessel afloat, but the Thun erer and the )readuaught have their 'lials in other navies. The Spectatu uv.s that thirteen gunboats of tin Uh a IBm,a clas s could he built with the ion,y that. would 1) necessary to prot I)!e anther InTflexible, and that tlree of these terrili?o little craft would equal her in destructive power. They would present but a sniall target, and if sunk the loss would not be great. Their ef ficiency lies in the ease with which they :re handled, and a skillful use of the torpedo and ram. In the opinion of the *\pert'ator, the iBIrit.ish navy should be sp)eedlily strengthened, and it should he dlone by tihe addit,ion of vessels of this A Baby Carriage in the Hall, b taby cairriage in the hnll.
