' ' ; , . It Is freely stated in court circles iu England that the betrothal will short ly be announced of the Duke of Genoa, nephew of King Humbert, to the Princess Beatrice, the Queen's unmar ried daughter. The health of King Humbert is said to be in a very unsat isfactory condition. , The editor of the Frankfort (Ky.)

He was soon rescued un harmed, but greatly disgusted, inas much as he had himself superintend ed the setting of this and other traps for poachers, and no member of tho fraternity had yet been bagged, al though poaching was as frequent as ever. . . The young Marquis of Lansdowne has been spending the whole winter on his Kerry estates in order person--ally to conduct relief works. He has been making roads, draining exten sively, and otherwise providing work for hundreds.

The torso he rides is shod with silver: but this is not vulgar display, but from a conviction that silver is the best metal for the purpose, and that the horse thus shod is a better and mora capable animal than when walking in forged iron. - - A big pig was killed at Brum's El bow, N. Y., recently. The animal measured 5 feet 2 inches round his chops and 7 feet 1 inch in girth, was 7 feet long and weighed 1,101- pounds. The operation of fattening it began last September, and it was allowed 24 pounds of meal and 2 of sugar. It was fed at 9 A.M. and 9 P.M., and also between meals, as it were, at 3 P.M. During the last two weeks it had to" be fed with a ladle,- as it was unable to feed itself. It was too at to walk and too fat to see. It was of tho Ches ter White breed, and was 3 years and 9 months old. ; . It is well known that an alibi is rather a dangerous defence. " The prosecution has got to prove that the prisoner was'nvhere the offence was committed, aud he takes upon himself an unnecessary burden by offering to show that he was somewhere else. Oc casionally, however, an alibi is toler ably conclusive, as In the case of a too cautious person who was , charged with larceny and whose sole defence consisted in the reiteration of the sin gle phrase, "Gentlemen, . I wasn't there." As he repeated the same re mark to the Court after his conviction he was asked, "Where were vou?" to which he replied : "My Lord, I was in this here jail," a statemeut which turned out to be correct. Asked why he had not said so before, he prudeut ly, if not very logically, observed that he thought it would go against him with the jury if it were known that he had been in prison. In 1859absoiute starvation prevailed for several months throughout Fin land and along tho Baltic seaboard, aggravated by a frost of unexampled severity, which destroyed hundreds of those who made for the towns in quest of relief. In 1871 a yet more terrible famine decimated tho population of Northwestern China, many of the suf ferers being driven to gnaw tho bark from the trees, aud even to devour the bodies of the dead. Similar horrors were enacted on a smaller scale in East ern ttussia duriug the great drought of 1873. The failure of the Bengal rice crop at the close of that year swept away during the early mouths of that year, at least half a million of lives.
