ISl Th® Amhual Meetino of the Liberal Conservative Association of the South Rid­ ing of Oxford, as will ba seen by advertise­ ment, will be held in thevillage of Norwich, on Monday next the 5th of February. This meeting should be well attended and every means in our power taken to effect a tho- rough‘organization of the party. Tho Con­ servative party have made rapid strides all over the country the past few months, and the evidences of reaction in this constitu­ ency are great and am looked upon with alarm by our opponents. Tl&y are up aud doing, and this should bo a warning to us not to let the ground we have gained slip from under our feet for want of organiza­ tion. Let every Conservative be at his post at Norwich on Monday next, A good rally would do no harm. virtually does by its being exempt. Take -for instance tho Custom House'in -Toronto, the city at large pay ibe taxes of this building by its bring exempt. It would be thought adaurd to call upon the city to pay the salaries of tho officials connected there­ with, and yet* this proposition would be exempt. Take as an illustration a possible - but not perhaps a probable example that of a' town with three quarters of tho property I therein belonging either to the Provincial or Dominion Governments and therefore exempt, is it reasonable to expect the re­ maining quarter of the property to bear the burdeh of tho whole taxes of the town f and yet this is bht'un exaggerated instance of what actually occurs wherever govern­ ment-property is to be found. Tho ex­ emptions under this head should be abolish­ ed and those for whose benefit the property is used andrib whom it belongs should pay tho taxes. Under tho fourth and last , heading, ‘property belonging to church bodies and charitable institutions, there may be aolne show of reason why these should be exempt not found under 'the' the'last hea8, bbt fro 'tfaay maintain that - -tho show is not strong*enotigh'tb convince us that all the property under this head should bo exempt, the only cMes Where exemption should bo permitted Would be iu the case of churches where a municipality contained bat one church and every rate­ payer of tho municipality was a member of fjf aud in the case of charitable institutions jyhich bf’ufined their operations solely to the municipality in whivh they were located and for ;ts benefit aland. We see no reason why church property in the niftier of taxation should not be treated a* any other property, we presume that congrega­ tions build places of worship and pay the salaries Of their ministers according to their mohna and iftheyahooso to be extravagant they Bhobld'pay accordingly; payment for road ‘building, repairs, lighting, draining, police protection, oto;, etc., has to come from some source and is it fair to make those who never make use of tbe church­ pay their quantum however small it may be, towards the support of that oliuroh which they actually do towards exempting . that property. A small but wealthy con­ gregation build a large handsome church , and enclose an immense plot bf ground, a large but poor congregation build a small wooden Structure for a church-; the taxes on the former if asiesiaUv would be largo, on the latter small, and yst the poor con­ gregation Ht’present have to contribute their heavy share towards exempting the expen­ sive church whilst the xioh congregation contribute but their mito towards exempt­ ing the poor ahutch, or in other words, tho poor pay ini of proportion for the extrava- gajaee, if it may be so called, of their rich neighbors. Tbe abolition of exemptions would neither iocreaso nor diminish the gross total of the taxes, it would only saddle the taxes on tbo right shoulders, tho total assessment would ba tho same whilst the rate would bo less. tern in tho sale of intoxicating liquors ia to be tried in Birmingham. Tba tavern keepers iifs to bo compensated for their loss arising from all taverns being assumed by tho municipal authorities, who Will sell un­ adulterated liquors and appoint 'salaried men to take charge, the profits derived go-, ring into tho municipal coffers. Tho sworn daily circulation of the Lon­ don Daily Tckgraph is now over two hundred thousand and this daily average has been maintained for five successive mouths, equal to a circulation of sixty-three millions per annum. The largest deck in the world is in the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, Eng. The dial is forty feet in diameter, the hands weigh nearly a quarter of a ton. Tho Pope’s health is reported again fail­ ing. Commercial ih'UYcottfso has been inter­ rupted between Bussia and China, owing to the saipicions aroused by the Btfssiun movements along the Chinese frontier. In Paris, France, there an now eighty miles of telegraph wire ‘laid ih the Sowers. A report is current that arrangements are pending between the Government and insurgente of Ctaba, which will, in all pro­ bability, lead to the permanent cessation of hostilities. Bussia, for tho present, can expect ho assistance from any of tho European pow­ ers. As soon as Rnsria gets a alios of Tur­ key, if oho ever does, she will not be tho only hungry obe.

G OD BX&EiSS Thb question why certain properties ’ should bo exempt from taxation is one 1 which sooner or later must have come up, 1 this question is how agitating the 'public mind in th'is Province, btit Whether, any ' constitutional measure connected there­ with will be brought before the present session of Parliament is doubtful. Ex- etoptions may'bo classed under four heads, muniripal property; property exempted far certain periods by mUntapalilies as * means ot increasing their Welfare ; Dornin- ton and Provincial Government property and property belonging to church bodies and charitable insfitnlion*. Under the first head, municipal property, it ia at pres eat free from taxation and ever will be so since taring it would be as ridiculous as a man owning the bouse he lived in, taking money oat of one packet to pay the ‘rout and patting it in tho other footing satisfied that he had at last got rid of that liability. Under tho second head property okempted ■ lot eertain periods by municipalities as a means of ipArjariag thoir welfare, this is no noon than the giving of a bones to en'» aooisga manafseturM or other undertakings whereby iadinrily a eertain advantego is derived by the muairipaKty either hi tiro prueeni or some fntarti period, fr fa k Uli- Isfitatod harden and fhervfore quite opti mal frith tba muniripulily to grant or not at its pfonswre.

Monday the galleries of tho Senate ‘ Chamber were crowded, and such notables as Bob Ingersoll, Mr. Everts, Judga 'Black, ’ Landaulei ”| Williams, 'General Sherman, ] and Mr. Pulitzer were on tho floor, expecting to hear great speeches on tho electoral refer- I enco Bi’l. Tney wore all disappointed. The ’ speeches were not great. At 1.30 p. m. it was (observed that Mr. Morton had pushed hli (chair into the main aisle (the Indiana Senator always fulminates sitting in cathedra), and it ; was evident that he would open his month I and speak. An impressive silence fell On tho 1 galleries, and tho eyes of all the Senators (it ; is rare for one Senator to pay the leitat atten­ tion to tho remarks of another) were fixed upon the Sergeant Bates of the bloody shirt. Ho began speaking in an almost inaudible tone, complaining of indisposition, but hi* voice, husky kt first, became louder and suffi­ ciently distinct to make audible the lamest speech that the lame Senator ever made. You will have read it before this reaches you, and it will not be necessary forme to give its out­ lines now ; but hi* friends were disappointed at the weskhftu of tho effort, and his oppo­ nents almost pitied him. When he enunciated two or three times with the emphasis of des­ paration : “ I believe Rutherford B. Hayes is elected President of th’o United TStaics," tho galleries and even his partizans on tbe flour gazed at him with a skepticism that seemed to inquire : Arc you a footer only a liar !

JANTTARY 31. 1877- A stuJy of vegetable f>by>l«logy led me to try many years ego, to throw light upon this question, Th* vap or mobture goes tip in ths sap-wood ’from tbs roots to the leaves of trees. I found if the post is butt- end down, tho pores are open upward, and water can go up, thus keep the pest moist between wind and water, which must oatuo a vapid decay. It appears that the pores were only open upward, and not downward in a tree. To test this I cut a stnall maple sapUng (two inches through), In May leaving the^Imbs all on, and placed thebutt- end,iu u pail ofbrine. In tiiirty-six hours tho leaves wore saturated with the brine, the taste of the salt being strong. At tho osmo time I cut another , and cut off the top branch, leaving the rest of the limbs. After winding a cloth round tho butt-ond, to prevent evaporation, I placed tho top end in a pail of brine, and allowed it to rimain several days, but no brine had been absorbed at tho tup end. It had not penetrated tho pores as far as tho end was immersed in the brine, for if the bark was scraped, there was not tho slightest taste oi salt to bo fonnd. This being the cave in tho green tree, how much more must tho pores of the dry -troo bo closed from the top end downward? I have tried' many similiar experiments, and I think the question settled that if * post is placed top end down, no moisture can extend from the bottom of tho hole up thopost to rot it; but when the butt-end is down thp moisture can ascend the pores very rapidly if*green and alowly if dry. Seasoned posts are found to last much longer, because the pores are more or loss Ailed within tho seasoned wood. I should oho infer that placing tho top end down would make more difteronoe in u green than inn dry post. In pursuance of tho fact that the pores of grnen timber have been often saturated with different solutions to preserve it, by immersing tho butt-ond, freshly cut in tho solution to lio absorbed, it will also bo noted that burning or charr. ingiho pasts only doses the pores and pre* vents tho absorption of water.—“ E.

All tho cases in which I need it wore very will marited, and tho epidermis on tho arms in each esse came away like tho skin of a snake. The following was the exact treatment followed in each case : Thoroughly anoint tho pa­ tient twice daily with sulphur ointment; give five to ten grains of sulphur in a little jam three times a day. Sufficient vulphnr was burned, twice daily, (on coals on a stove) to fill the room with tho fumes, and, of course, was thoroughly inhaled by the patient. Under this mode of treatment each esse improved immediately, and nouo were over three days in making a complete recove ry, aud I firmly believe in each it was prevented from spreading by the treat­ ment adopted. Ono case was in a largo school. Having had a largo oxpi rienco in scariot favor loit year aud this, I feci some confidence in my own judgment, and I am of opinion that tho' very mildest cases lover saw do not do half as well as bad coses do by the sulphur treatment and as for ns £ can judge, sulphur isos near a specific for scarlet fever as possible."

How many verdure-veiled, rose-garlanded pitfalls yawned in thattreacherous future, now stretching b-fore ter like summer air, here all gold and bhie—yonder with pnrplo glory crowning tte dim fur away ? Intuitively sho recognized the fact that she was confronting tho first.■ross roads in her hitherto monotonous life, nd a vague dread flitted like ill-omened birds before her, darkening her vision.In the gladiatorial arena of the Court oom, Mr. Palma wus regarded as a large- bqiincd, nimble-wilted, poarblo-hearted-nan, of vast ambiti on and tireless energy iu the acquisition of Iris aims ; but Iris col- League* and riienta HouM as coon have•ought chivalric tenderness iu a Jnouzo tatue or a potehed obelisk of porphyry.To-day as ho curiously watched the quiver­ ing yet proud liftte girlish face, her brave struggle* to meet the emergency touchedsome chord far down iu bis reticent, stern nature, and he suddenly stopped, and touk her hand, folding it up security jn bis.‘ Aro yon not quite willing to trust your­ self with me ?’ She hesitated a moment; then said, with* slight wavert >gin her low tone < ‘ I have been very happy bore, and I loveite b.bieis doa ly, but you aro my mother'sfriend, and whatever sh« wishes mo to do of course must be right?O ., beautiful instinctive faith in mater­ nal love nud maternal wisdom ! Wot yc the mouldering power yc wield, yo Muthcisof America ?’ Frcssino her fingers gently as if to reas- $ure her, he said : ‘ I dislike to Limy you away from these kind Sisters, but if your baggage is readywo havo no t.nio to spare? The nuns wept silently nifsho cmbrac?dthem for tho l;>st time, trissed them on both checks, the 1 turneJ and suffered Mr.Palma to lend her to the carriage, -whither hertrunk had already been sent. Leaning out, she watched tho recedingoutlines of the convent until a Lend of thoroad concealed oven foe belfry,nud then she stooped and kissed tho drooping lilliu* inher Inp. Iler c Jinpanion expected a burst of tears, but sho sat erect and quiet, and not a wordwas uttered until they toadied tho railway station aud entered the cars. Securing a double- seat he placed her at the window,aud sat down opposite. It wa* her intro­ duction to railway travel, and when the train moved off, a» d the locomotive sound­ed its prolonged shriek of departure, Re­ gina started up, but, ns if ashamed of her timidity, colored and bit her lip. Observ­ing that sho appr.aVrd interested in watch- iug the country for ugh wliich they sped,Mr. Palma draw a book from his valise, and soon became so absorbed in the con­ tents that ho f< rgot the silent figure on the. eat before him. The afternoon wore away, 'Le sun went down; and, when the lamps were lighted, tho lawyer suddenly remem­bered his charge. • • Weil, Regina, how do you like travelling on tho curs ?’ ‘ Not at all; it makes my bend ache.’ ‘ Tuko off your hot, nud I wall try to make you more comfortable.’Ho untied a shawl (.seared to the outside of his valise, placed it ou the arm of thesent,and made hor lay her head upon it. Keeping his finger as a mark amid tho leaves of his book, he said : ' Wo shall not reach our journey's end until to-morrow morning, and I advise you to sloop as much ns possible. Wheneveryou feel hungry, you will find some sand­wiches, cake aud fruit in the bosket at your feel.’ She looked at him intently,and interpret-ing the expression, be added : ‘ You wish to ask mo something ? AmI so very frightful that you dare not ques­ tion m« ?’ ‘ Will you tell me foo truth if I ask you ?’‘ Most asspreflly.’ ' Mr. Palma, when shall I see my mother?” /His eye* wont down helplessly before foo girl's steady gaze, and he hesitated a mo­ ment. • Really, I cannot toll exactly —but I hope—’ She put ,up her small band quickly, with a gentura that silcuced him.• Don't say any more please, ’ want to know half of anyth'can't tell me qlL Good night, * ..u...She shut her eyes. Tins man of bronze, wno could terrify witnesses, torture aud overwhelm the op­position, and founder *0 successfully from foo legal rostrum, sat there abashed by tho child's tone aud manner, and as ho watchedher he Could not avoid smiling nt her im­ perious mandate. Although silent, it was1 o'clock before sho fell iuto a deep, sound, slumber, nnd then the lawyer leaned for­ ward nnd studied tho dreamer. Tlio light from the lamp shone upon her •nd the loug*ilky black lashes lay heavily on her whit* cheeks.

Allow me to presentMr. Palma to my sister, Mr*. Lindsay. I am exceedingly—’The sentence was never completed, and h* stood with hi* eyes fastened on the child, who leaned against tho window,watching him with an eager, breathless interest, as some caged creature eyes a new keeper, wondering, mutely question­ing whether cruelty or kindness will pre­ dominate in tte strange custodian.For a moment, oblivious of all else,each gaz id into tte eye* of the other, and a subtle magnetic current flushed from soulto soul, revealing certain arcana, which year* of ardinary acquaintance sometimes fail to unveil. Fronj the pastor's counte­nance melted every trace of doubt and ap­ prehension ; from ttet of foe girl allshadow of djstmst. • Studying foe tableau, Mr. Palma saw the clergyman smile, and as if involuntary open his arms; sad he was astonishedwhen the shy reticent child who had re­ pulsed all his eiTotts to beoome acquainted, suddenly glided forward, and iuto the out­stretched arms of hor new guardian. Weary from tho long journey, and rigid restraintimposed upon her feeliugs, tte closely Dent emotion broke all barriers, and clinging to the minister, Regina found relief in a floodof tear*. Mr. Hargrove *at down, and keeping his arm around her, said tender­ly: • Are you so unwilling to eome and liveunder my care ? Would yon prefer to re­ main with Mr. Pahoa ?' Sho put her hand* up, and clasping them at the back of histend, answered brokenly : • No, no I it is not that. Your face shows me you are good ; »o good I But I can’thdlp crying; I have tried so hard to keep from it, ever since I kissed the Sister* good­ bye ; and everything is so strange—and my throat aches, and achep—oh, don't scolilmo !

Just lot meshow you how I put my arms around my own child,—though ho is a man. Come, dear.'Mrs. Lindsay gently disengaged the clasped bands resting on hor brother’s neck and drew Regina iuto her arms, while, wonby lierswert voice and soft touch, tho lat­ ter allowed herself to bo led iuto another room.They had scarcely disappeared when Mr. Palma said : • I find that I was mistaken in supposingthat von and your ward were strangers?’‘ We aro strangers; at least I never saw her until -to-day.'• Did you mesmerise hor ?’ •Not font I am aware uf. What sug­ gests such an idea ?’‘ She reseivos your friendly overtures so graciously, and rejected mine with such chill politeness.

' If yon will walk iuto tho library, wherewo can escape intrusion, I should like to havo some confidential conversation withyou? When ho had placed his visitor in his own casy-chair, and locked the door of the library, Mr. Hargrove sat down beside theoval table, and folding bis hands before him leaned forward scrutinizing foe handsomeuou-committal face of tho stranger, and conjecturing how far ho would bo warrant­ ed iu unburdening his own oppressed heirt.Coolly impassive, and without a vestige of curious interest, foe lawyer quietly met bi» incisive gaze.‘ Mr. Palmn.mayl ask whether Regina’* mother has unreservedly communicated her history to you ?’• She has acquainted me with only a few facts, concerning which she desired legal advice?• Has sho'givou yon her real name ?’ ‘-I know ber”only as Madame Odilla Orplri* Orme, an netre** of very remark­able beauty and great talent? • Do yon understand the peculiar cir- cmstances of ter marringe ?'‘ I merely possess her assurance thatshe was married by you? ‘ Haveyou been informed who is Regina’* father?'• The num* ha* always been carefully oupprefsed, but eh* told me that Orme wn« merely an alfo*.'• Have you over spsptcted foe truth ?’• Really that i* a question I cannot an«We?

I should very much like to kuow, but jny client declinedgiving me all the facts, at feast at present; and while her extreme reticene* certainly hampers nae, it present* me from asking you for foe information which ste promise*ere long to give me? Mr. Hargrove boWed and leaned Lack more easily in hi* chair, fully satisfied con­cerning tte nature of th* mail -with whom he had to deal. • You doubtless think it singular that Mr*. Orme should commit her daughterto my care, while keeping mo in iguoranpe of her parentage.

Supposeyon stale the cane?’ Briefly Mr. Hargrove narrated the cir­ cumstances attending his lost interviewwith Regina's ol>d the loss of the tin box, dwelling in conclusion upon foeperplexing fact that in the recent letter re­ ceived from her, relative to her daughter'sremoval to the Parsonage, Mrs. Orme had implored him to carefully preserve the liconxe he bad retained, ns the marriagecertificate in her possession might not be coiihuicrcd convincing proof, should litiga­ tion ensue. Hu could not understand thepolicy of this npponl, nor reconcile its necessity with his conviction that she had stolen the license.Joining his scholnriy white hands, with tho lips of hi* fingers forming a cone,.Mr. Balina leaned Lack in his chair and listen­ed, while no bint of surprise or incredulity found expression in his cold impertnbabo face. When the recital was ended, hemerely inclined his head. ‘ Do you not regard this a* strong evi­ dence against her? Be frank, Mr. Palms.’‘ It is merely circumstantial. Write to Mrs. Orme, inform her of the loss of the license, and I think you will find that sheis as innocent of tho theft a? yoy or I. I know she went to Europe beliving that tho final proof of her marriage was in yourkeeping; for jn the event of hrr death while abroad, sho Ins empowered me to demand that paper from you, aud to (.re­sent it, with certain others, in a court of justice.’ ' I wish I could see it as you do.

The first part opened with a trio by Messrs. Minkler, Root snd-Johnson which was well executed. Mr. ‘Maitland, of Guelph, gave a variety df Scottish airs and stories which were-well received. Miss Kate Martie of Paris, bos a sweet voice, well adapted for the pieces for which she was set down in tho programme, namely, ‘ The Haunted Stream” and “Thon Art so Near and yet so Far,” in each of which she was encored. Miss Huggart.ofPutnsm, sang tho “Scottish Emigxant'e Farewell” in the first part and joined with Mr. Johnson in that beautiful Shakespearian duett, “I Know a Bank,” in tho tho second part Miss Hoggart is 'becoming a favorite with the lovers of musio in tuis vicinity, and improves every time wo have the pleasure of hearing her. Miss Barratt, of Ingersill, presided at the piano and her execution no doubt had a gfe*t deal to do with the success which attended the concert through­ out. Mr. Evaue, of Paris, in his serio­ comic performances was a host in himself and called forth repeated encores. Mr. Joseph Gibeon gave a reading which was well received, and Mr. Sumner added ad­ ditional zeart to the affair by a violin ac­ companiment in an instrumental piece with Miu Barratt. Mr. Johnson, wo were go­ ing to say, did “his level best," but as he outshines huossolf every time he appears in pabho we fear that we are not capable of judging to what extent ho ean go, and so ere deem ft prudent to bo cautious, but really, be Was In good voice and trim and the pieces sang by him were w»H rendered, and the veatritoqnallnterludo between the parte was not only astonishing but very Apropos.
