NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration was signed in London on the 2lst of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows :— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals • or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party shall be found within the territories of the other party." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall ike High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their own subjects, whether by birth or naturalisation." The result of the modification in the Treaty is that • either Government may deliver up its own subjects to the other Government, but can not be considered bound to do so. CAUTION. THE ROYAL EDUCATIONAL CIRCULAR GUIDE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. Attention is called to the " Royal Educational Circular Guide" issued by Convict Expiree WILLIAM RIDLEY CARR, alias HENRY PARKER, Office No. 28234, of 13, Torrington- square, W. C. This publication first appeared in the latter part of the year 1885, and was announced as having been established in 1882, and circulating to the extent of 25,000 copies annually. Sums of money, varying in amount from 10s. 6d. to £ 3 3s., were obtained by Carr from a large number of persons, chiefly army tutors and the principals of schools and colleges, for the insertion of educational advertisements. Carr was convicted at the Central Criminal Court on 28th March, 1887, of obtaining money by false pretences in connection with these advertisements, it being shown that the alleged circulation of the " Royal Circular Guide" among the " nobility, clergy, and gentry" was fictitious, and that barely sufficient copies were printed to supply the advertisers with one each. It was also found upon inquiry that Carr's representation that the publication was under the patronage of H. M. the Queen, T. R. H. the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Prince Albert Victor of Wales, the Earl of Derby, Sir Matthew White Ridley, & c., was false. Owing to representa- tions that were made to the judge as to the state of the prisoner's mind, he was released on a nominal sentence. He is now sending out circulars announcing the publication of a further issue of " The Royal Educational Circular Guide— guaranteed annual issue 25,000," and again soliciting advertisements. He also promises to introduce pupils to advertisers upon payment of a small commission. Clergymen, army and navy tutors, and the principals of schools, colleges, & c., should be cautioned respecting this man's transactions, and it is requested that any information respecting him may be forwarded to the Assistant Commissioner, Convict Office, Great Scotland Yard, London, S.

Nature and Scripture alike speak of Jesus. There are many preachers if we had only ears to listen. In the Old Testament we find God accustomed His people to listen, not only to the written word, but to what they saw. '' The Heavens declare the glory of God," & c. You do not require to be scientific to understand the illustrations of Christ's teaching. You do not need to live East er West, or to see countries whose productions are peculiar. Not at all; it is so simple. He chooses a door, a way, a candlestick, a river, a tree ; all know them— very simple, but very deep. It would be well if every day we were sometimes to think of the interesting stories and associations in connection with the most commonplace things that we see. To- day shall we choose stones, and see how many suggestive thoughts we can group round them from our Father's book 1 Perhaps first we see Jacob, home- less, friendless, after deceiving his father, supplanting his brother, setting forth to reap what he had sown; and in his sorrow and loneliness we find him, his head resting on a stone, but visited of God, and taught and comforted with promises of being kept and guided and blessed. Then do we remember the memorial stones erected by Jacob, by Joshua, by Samuel, by Elijah 1 and the beautiful stones of the High Priest's breast- plate, whereon he bore the names of the tribes " before God continually 1" and the five little smooth stones with which David provided himself for meeting with and prevailing over the giant Goliath 1 The " stones rolled away" would give us plenty of subject for thought if we could fancy ourselves at that grave of Lazarus, or on that wonderful Resurrection morning when first the words, " He is risen," were heard, lie, " the tried stone," the " corner stone," the " sure foundation," the " living stone." May he be to each one of us the founda- tion, the corner, the headstone— beginning, centre, and end of all; and may He take away the stony hearts of our flesh, that we may not be among those who, believing not, find Him a stone of stumbling.
