The next meeting oT the Royal Agrieub tural Society of England is to be held nt Liverpool in July next, prizes to the amount of 930,000 will be offered for horses, catilo, sheep and pigs, and *1,500 for clioeso, butler, bacon and 1 tarns, British or American. After the splendid success achieved by Cxford dairymen at the Cen» tennis), they should have no hesitatiop in making the attempt to reap fresh laurels in the mother country and increase the well known reputation of Canadian cheese and d dry produce. Canadian cheese could be exhibited at thia meeting as “Canadian," aud as Liverpool Is the principal cheese market in the world no better opportunity cou'd be offered for establishing the true excellence of tbe “Canadian” brand. We urgo upon our dairymen to see to it that we are properly represented at the forth- coming exhibition. Tub New Yoke Poti praised tha Cana­ dian Government for voting down the pro­ posed tariff changes, and the Ministerial organs exultantly reproduced the article as an answer to the Opposition. The explana­ tions of why the Americans should be so pleased with our tariff is given in a more recent article in the same paper, for instance it, is stated that great activity pre­ vails in the cotton manufacturing districts of Massachusetts end Rhode Island, “new mills are projected, and, aS a general thing, their profits at this moment are 15 to 2J per centum oa all they can make. One mills proposes to odd *50,000 of new n * Lincry." These mny be estimated small things, but they are sufficiently significant. A Government return shews that the Americans sold to Canada in one year *1.840,000 woitli ol cotton goods. No wonder Brother Jonathan is glad that this nice little trade is not to b» interfered with? With anything like a fair tariff these goods would be manufactured in the Dominion equally as Cheap as they are supplied by the Americans, and probably cheaper. The same report states that in the same period Canada paid the States close upon *1,000,000 for machinery ; near­ ly *400,000 for stores ; 8230,000 tor nails; *400.000 for glakstfare; *2,000,000 for sugar; *300,000 tor household furniture, &c. Thera facte go to explain why the American papers are joyful over the recent tariff vote. In round figure* it may b* said *11,000,000 ar* annually paid Ameri­ can manufacturer* for goods winch, if we bad a patriotic trade policy, would be pro* duted in Canada. Is thebe anything to boast of la tbi* ? Canadian farthers, would your product* not be worth more than they are to-day if thia *11,000,000 worth of good* were produced by otir own population or by aa inoreMed population such as their production would require ? It is a pit y that a man of such part* a* Professor GoMwiu Smith should risk hi* reputation by judging for ethers on a sub­ ject for whieh be has proved himself so to­ tally uq fit. In *n article of hi* in the Fortnightly .Review, subject, Canada, he not only suggest* but advise* tbe annexa­ tion of Canada to th* United States, and would have it believed that without tbi* there is little hop* of Canada being a rival of the United States. We do het know whether or not Mr. Goldwin Smith visited th* late Centennial Exhibition, and heard the comment* there passed on what was previously looked upon sui the backwoods settlement, but which is now looked upon by our cousins a* a dangerous rival both in farm produce and manufacture* generally ; if did, a mom wanton outrage he could not have Committed on th* people of U*u*- d* than by the production of the thirty page article in the April ndab*r ot the “ Fortnightly Review,H Bud if he did not it would fully repay him to aaeertein tacts b*<br* holding himkslf up id the riJicdle of all th* people of Canada of whom Uteri* an no more loyal subject* bf Her Majesty. Th* very ranking of Canada to her inde­ pendence and liberal form of-governataml, her progress has beat marvallon*. and Without doubt, if lheir bon*i*tniioa would permit of it, the United States would Will­ ingly change their system of gbvarunieat Bad Civil Service for ours arid thereafter braced in the Doaaiuidta. The pride of Canadians h that they have * nationality which the* era proud of, a government uu- earpsieerl by auy other tor juriira and equity, laws which protect all alike, a bra- dem to th* extent of which few other na­ tion dare venture and a Queen loved by *11 who have the fortune to claim her as titair*. Wo heard quite enough ef and from Mr. G. 8. when he was in Canada aod wo only trail that the pnopl* of Great with propositions which, to many ran, appear to be the emanation* of a diseased > brain. Such, iu their day, were the loco-i motive and travel by itssm on land or ; water, the Tbamra tunrel, tho Menai en*- f peuricn and tubular bridges, the Suez. 1 ccual, the underground railways, the tele­ graph cAble* across the Atlantic, tbe Mount Ceni* tunnel, and many ether great engin­ eering work*. In their conception, the opposition they bad to contend with would, in a les* enlightened age, have prevented their mHiation, but once accomplished tbe wonder 1* that any opposition whatever was advanced. In the present day a great engineering work in which few have any confidence of eventual success is being pro­ ceeded with namely, the channel tunml between England and France, aod there is do doubt but that in a very few yean trains will be run through it. More recently still it baa been proposed, and we believe the proposition emanated iu tbe first instance from the Liverpool 'Pott,' to'construct a dam across the Strait* of Belle Isle, be­ tween the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, with a view thereby of regaining immense tract* of land or rather of render­ ing them capable of culture. It is well known that through the Straits of Belle Isle a current of cold water, from the Arctic regions, is constantly flowing and causing a diminution of temperature of several degrees over tract* of country many mfle* removed from itr immediate neighborhood; now it is claimed, Bud rightly »o, that were this current kept back the temperature would rise and 4he country effected become a garden instead of what it now is, a des­ ert, and icebergs would be llilhgs of the past in the Straits and in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. The proposed dam would so divert this cold current that eVen the eastern banks of Nowfonadland would not be effected, since tbe current would nec»s- 1 sarily take a aoulh-raaterjy direction, until it met the warm waters of tho Gulf , Stream, when it would disappear. Tbe conception of the idea is a bold one and 1 its accomplishment would, there is no i doubt, result in rendering capable of colon­ ization vast tracts of land which at present 1 are scarcely habitable, tbe Is land of Anti- , costi being only a small portion of what j woull be benefitted. By one authority, tbe narrowest part of the straits measure* . 8} miles with an average depth of 90 feet; > l>y another, 10] mile* with an average ' depth of 210 feet. The discrepancy here is very marked, but since in the one case j the dimensions were given supporting th* • scheme and in th* jotber against, the ten- 1 dencies would ba to increase er decrease : these dimonaions ; a medium between the two would perhaps be nearer tbe actual < figures, this would give a length of 9 7-12 1 miles with an averag* depth of 150 feet, J which would represent an enormous 1 atnsunt of breakwater contents cones- ’ ponding with a v«*t outlay, but with an j outlay which would, on completion of the i work, give an immediate return. One of 1 th* first result* of the erection of such a (dam or breakwater would be the construe- < t lion of * line of railway across it, making connection* with the North Shore Railway, of Quebec; by which mean* the ocean voy­ age, from th* nearest point in th« Old Country to, «ay St. John'*, Newfoundland, ■] would b* reduced Id four or five day*. At any rate, sufficient bas boen drmomtrated i to warrant th* Dominion Government (going to some etpena* to enquire into the i feasibility of the proposed scheme, and tohav* tha Strait* properly surveyed. I rating and original, if it had not been made ' old and odious by the laet administration. Where is there law, precedent, or reason, 1 for the legal governor of a sovereign state to be summoned before a fraudulent President to ehow cause why he should not yield to a pretender from Massachusetts, whose only strength is tbe bayonets illegally Sent there by tho ex-preaidential curse! It is futile in politics as in love to think of "what might have been ;” but how naturally and rythmically would all these jarring discords have adjusted themselves under a legally elected President! A President untrammelled by Returning Boards, ElecforM Commissions, or leagues with Packard, Wells, Mid Eliza Pinkston; a President who could be indifferefl* to tho cleaving of Blaine’*- tongue in the de­ fence of thieve* and carpet-bagger*.; a Presi­ dent who would b* under no obligations to make Morton the disperser of boundless pat- pronage, or to give the sous of the ensign of tbe bloody shirt rich sinecures. We hear much, now-a-daya of civil service reform—on paper. Each Cabinet officer is printing and publishing a list of role* which as an embodiment of sound principle* is as faultless a* a political platform, and as empty and hypocritical as Garfield. Any One at all acquainted with the diagnosis of the civil ser­ vice malady know* that it* cure must be com­ menced with a purge. For the body politic to Inpo for eupepesia with all the vile aceemula­ tion of the last administration rankling in itsbowo'sand preying on’its vitals gives reason to fear that disease u affecting the head.Thu last to come to the front with his little hoard of civil service maxims has been JohnSherman, Mr. Hayes’ Secretary of tho Treas­ury . Wendell Philhpe, Mt. Sherman’s fel­ low-partisan, compresses hi* political biogra­phy into the words : he went into the Senatepoor, and he left it rich. A biographer with a genius for details eotild have ssid somethingmore on the subject than this, but it will do.Mr. Sherman Went further on paper than Mr. Key went. Like Mr. McCravy and Mr.Schurz, he says, no removals without cause,and no promotions without merit. But, while Mr. Key says a Republican shall have prefer­ence, Mr. Sherman savs that politics will notLe considered in civil service appointments, and in order that his reform may have illus­tration, he appoints a friend of 51 r. Morton,an attachee of an Indianapolis paper, upontho syndicate ; in other words, sends him ona European tour at tho Government expense.A much better rule than "no removal* with­out cause and no promotions without merit ’’ would bo " there ia cause for general re­moval,” Ex-Senator Powell Clayton, of Arkansas,one of the ex-moral idea statesmen bade afinal adieu to Washington last night in a pecu­liar and characteristic, but unseuatorial, way.He disputed the bill of his landlord at thecongressional hotel where he liad been board­ing with hi* family. Word* followed and tho ex-*enator jumped over the bar, and taking abottle, breiaed the faeeof the landlord consid­erably, and immediately left the hotel withhis family. Tho landlord swore out a war­rant for aSsault with intent to kill, aud placedit in tbe hxnfls of officers who followed Clay­ton to the depot where they found him in a Pullman car with his family, and surroundedby a large Humber of friends. The warrantwas served upon him, bat ho replied that in order to answer it he would have to remain intbe city ovor night, which he did not desire todp. Mr. Clayton came out upon the platform of the car with his friend*, who claimed forhim that, being a United State* Senator* hecould not be arrests), and showed a dispositionto resist the officers if they attempted to take him by force. At this point the train startedand Mr. Clayton who had stepped off tho ear,was carried on board, and the train proceeded on its journey. Such waa the manner of exitof a Senator only lea* notorious and despicablethan Fattenon and Spencer. C. A 8. than took up Che question, "why i* the Credit Valley railway proposed to be built?” Becauae lie raid it woe the keystone of *11tha trade of Western Ontario, Iteeunnre tioD* at St. ThonsMi besides being the mean*of bringing Che Canada Southerncar* to Toronto, would also open with Tor­ onto the trade of th* ploo** on tbe shore ofLake Erie. Th* completieu of th* CreditValley road would be tbe opening up of 500 mile* of railway,' and wonld bring toToronto th* trad* of 800,000 people, Hr next referred to tbe opposition offend by the Grand Trank railway, aud th* reasonof thi* opposition. It was in th* interest* of the citizen* that th* trad* of Western Ontario should oom* to Toronto and bere-distributed by Toronto marchanta. Bui this would u*v*r be effected so long a*th* Grand Trunk carries freight from Tor­ onto to Montreal for only a third mmv than from Stratford to Taranto. Mr.Laidlaw then proceeded to answer several question* that had bean handed to him rel­ative t* the guaranteq given by the com­pany for the completion of the road and other points, Altar replying to thesequestions, he raid ba wanted to know why the people of Toronto would refuse thetrad* of Galt and othar towns which ' voted largo bonuses for tha railway f had The Farb Exhibition of 1878.

Iu a good caw this should 1 ba fine iu the muzzle, deep in the jew, 1 broad between ths eye* and between the 1 jaws,, and with largo nostrils. The eyes 1 should bo large, mild, bright, and active, ' but not neiyous aud restloss, and the 1 xavmbianes should be bright red and full 1 of blood. The ears should be deep yellow ' iuridl, aud tho waxy secretion should be pteutHul. aud of a deep yellow color. Tho Items should bo fine and thin, yellowish in color at the points, and very clear and waxy in the texture of the surface. The ' nask should ba slender and tapering, with a capacious windpipe; the dewlap should ubt ba prominsut or fleshy, and tho point should show a yellow color. The chest should ba broad and roomy, giving plenty el room for tho play of tho lungs, but not deep. The cluae should bo thin, and tho back Isval, widening out across tho hips, where -it should bo broad and flat. Tho ■ body should be deep in tho belly, gradually taporiug team tho shoulders backwards; the ribs should spring ont well from tho backbone, and there should be ample space between the lust rib aud the ■ hip. The shoulders and thighs should be ‘ ihiu and narrow, tho legs fine in the bone and not of great length; the hoofs should bo-dean nod clear, with a waxy surfaca. Tua pelvis should be broad, and tho tai! should be set pretty high above it, lying - well down batwetu the prominent bones, and should be thin and long, reaching down near to the ground. The udder should ba large, loose, and squarely formed, with the loats well apart from ea£h other, should coma well forward and well up behind, where, when empty, it should hang iu loose folds. The milk vein should bj large, aud also come well for­ ward ; the veins of tho udder should bekbuudaat, the skin a deep ycllasr color, aud covered with short, soft, fine hair. The toals should be long, and of such a size that they cau bo handled ia milking with case, the milk should flow readily, and with goutto pressure'. The skin of the whole body should bo loose and elastic, of a yellow color, and covered with abundant soft, silky Loir. The color of the hair may bo ignored, as a general rule, al­ though w* have found cows that have been the darkest in color, have given tho richest milk ; this however seems to bo a point that has not yet been determined. The escutcheon is a point that is greatly dwelt upon by many experts in,dairy mut­ ters, and as some distinct enquiries have been made about it, wo refer to this at length «ilh our meet recent observations. The “escutcheon” is tho reversed growth of hair that is found upon nearly all cat­ tle. form the thighs and udder, upwards. The peculiar form of this escutcheon or “milk mirror,” is supposed to denote the valfls of tSo conf a) a milker, Loth as to the qa^&lity yielded, and tho continuance of tkw y^rid. <11 was < discovered by a FronclnxQW, Mr. Guenon, a dealer iu cat- 1 e, who had observed the difforaoee in the forms of the escutcheons of a great number of miliib cows, and. tho corresponding dif- feretseo in the milking capacity of the nn- iuuto, sml'ho attempted to reduce these diffisreuce* to a system. His discovery was tested many times iu Franco, aud in recog­ nition cd its voloo the French .Governmsnt about forty yean* ago, conferred apenkton upon him. Since thou a good escuteheon ha* been oMbylered as one oL the charac- 1 toristicpoinls of a good eow. UahlDg Calrci^, Mr. T. B. Minor probably .churn* .the .ttnilk, which aeoaunte for LU proposition Ho feed buttermilk. Much said by this gentieinau is true ; but as. I bare had very t great experience in England and in the United States in raising calves, and a* Ujg tradti with England is likely to cause much more raising to supply the meat for exporta­ tion, I will add a few remarks. It is very •My to raise orivas by baud, and when there h ub cheese male, and the cream inly Is churned, the skim-milk is all that is required, as Abe calve* will do much bet­ ter not to have aoytiang sorxed wulh the milk. I Lave raised calves for forty years, and fefl them ten yenrs before 41nU, for it was my job from the ago of ten to help the servant-girl feed the calves. In Eagle nd tho raising is done by lalting t i i*su c k for* week, and then warm­ ing the ridm-milk whieh is sweet there whea skimmed ; but Iwioe a day is quite sufficient for feeding, and In winter the oalves'havo hay anl some turnips cut, as eoon as they will begin to est, which is fenmndly when about a month <dd—the Aldaosey* a week or ton days sooner. » The proper time to prtuw grape-vine* i» in the fail; but many persons neglect to prune at that season, oadilt cases wbcio the vines have not been pruned, they should bo attend*! to the first pleasant day, and not wait till thusap begins to flow, a* then they would “bleed”and be badly injured. In pruning grapo-viues, yon arc merely to put tho vines iu good shape, being careful to save the most of tho best cane* of last year’s growth, which may be known from their reddish color. The ends of the canes saved may be cut oft to suit your trellis •pace, and the aide spun ent back to one bud or m many db yon please, according to the length of the tpun. A spur four feet long with eight to ten buds, I should cut back to two or three buds, and ths cut is to be made several inches from tho nearest bud. As you. approach the end of the cane where tho spun are shorter, ono or two buds only should be left. Where vines are laid down and protect, ed for the winter, of course, no pruning can bo dona till taken up ; but I presume that no one, who is worthy of owning a grape vine, has Laid down his.vinos unpruned.

For woolen dresses there are many novelties in bourelta and faconnc stufls, and in tho softwhite and blue wool goo3a that look like flannels, bat are really half transparent wool; these are meaut for seaside andmorning dresses, and this fabric broughtbanting into use. Tho Breton costumes ure also to bo classed among tho hand­somest wool suits. They are made of grayor blue cashmeres, with a long skirt,clasp­ ed in the hack ar bald by bauds of em-;broidery, With basque wnists, and a vest that is covered with embroidery. Polon­ aises prevail in tho usual light camel's hair ami rough threaded Knickerbocker goods.They are made with lapped fronts, and without any draping behind; the trimming1 in nine coses out of teu is galloon andfringe. The new combination of colons are remarkable, and require the nicest taste of the experienced buyer to makethem harmouige.* Olivo brown is with pale, tflleul green; pale blue is with bronee;pink lilleul, and olive brown are together ; blue is combined with plum color-, prime1 is with bright buttercup color ; white wooldresaoe have brocaded silk saehre of blue with gold and oearlet.

She had taken both the stranger's hands shook them rather roughly, $nd iu £on-elusion pushed bar towards tho door. Olga Neville was twenty-two, tall, finely formed, rather handsome, with unusuallybright, reddish, hazel eyes, and a profus­ ion of tawny hair, which nine persons in ten would unhesitatingly have pronouncedred, but which she persistently asserted was of exactly llio classic shade of ruddy gold that tho Borgja gc^o ).o Betnbb.'

' As tho door of the sitting-room closed she' put for largo white hands on her mo­ther's shoulders, shook her a little, and kissed her on the cheek. • Ito, mamma, let us have fair pl ay J or Ishall desert to the enemy. It was not right to open your Latteries on that little thing before tho got well into position andestafoshcii her foe. K I am any judge of human nature, I rather guess from the setof her lips, and tho stars ifot danced upand down iu her eyes, that she is not quite as easily flanked ns a pawn on a chess­board? • I wislij Olga, that you wero a better judge of common sense, andof tho courtesy duo to my opinions. I can tell you wo arelikely to see trouble enough with this high- tempered girl added to the family circle? ‘ Why, sl.o has not Lucretia-colouredtresses, like my own lovely spun gold ? 1 thought her hair looked very black.'‘ I will warrant it is not half ns’ blnck as her disposition. She looked absolutely diabolical when she pretended to inarch (.at into the world, playing the rote of injuredpersecuted innocence? ‘ Now, Mamma ! She is decidedly theprettiest piece of diabolism I ever saw.Elliott, what do you think of her ?’ •That somoday she will be n most ns- tonisbiug beauty. Can you recollect thatlovely grccu and white cameo pin not with diamonds that Tiffany had lost spring ?Ned Bartlett bought it for bis wife tho day they started to Saratoga. Well, this girl is exactly like that exquisite white cameohead; I noticed the likeness ns toon as I saw her. Rut sho needs polish—city train­ ing, Fociuty marks—aud her ctotfos aie atleast two seasons old in style. I think, too, vour mother is quite right in believing she h is a will ol her own.

Fr»!e Tyndall's Warnings In concluding an address to the students ofUniversity College, (London) Prof. Tyndall,who ia unquestionably one of the most inde­fatigable brain workers of our century, said, “ take care of your health. Imagine Hercu­les as oarsman m a rotten boat; what can hedo there but by the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Tsks eate ofthe timbers of your boat," The distinguishedscientists advice is equally valuable to allworkers. We are apt to dirvote all our ener­ gies to wielding the oars, our strokes fell firmand fast, but few of us examine ar even thinkof the condition of our boats until the rottentimbers suddenly give way and we find our­ selves the victims of a calamity which couldhave been easily avoided by a little fore­thought. What began with a slight fracture,or perhaps even a careless exposure to disor­ ganizing influences, ends in the completewreck of the life boat. The disease which be­gan with a slight headache, or an undue ex­ posure to cold terminatee in death, unless itsprogress be checked, and the disease remedied.The first symptoms, the heralds of disease,give no indication of the strength of the on­ coming foe, and the victim trusts that his oldally, Nature, will exterminate the-invader,Rut disesM is an old general and tKemupIiihea his most important movements in tho nighttime and some bright morning finds him inpossession of one of the strongest fortifications;and when be has once gained a stronghold i ■ the system Nature ignominiously turnedtraitor and secretly delivers up the wholephi sical armory to the invader. Like thewily politician, Nature is always on thestrongest side, and the only way to insure hsrsupport is to keep your vitsd powers in theascendant. Keep your stron ;eat forts—the stomach and liver—well guarded. Do notlet the foe enter the arterial highways, for hewill destroy or steal your richest merchandiseand impoverish your kingdom.

Canadian Prodvce in England.—Tnrxtr Ad vics to Exporters.—A London corres­ pondent writes:—I have "interviewed " this week two great wholesale distributors of meet. They are of opinion that the live cattle trade will not do. The oxen waste on their pasiage, they arrive out of condition, the loss by deaths is considerable, and the cost of transport great. Both my informants say that the dca 1 meat trade was by far the best for Canada and likely to amume targe propor­ tions. I tasted tatelyseveral samples of tho cheese sold here as Canadian Cheddar. The price is 7jd per pound by the half or whole cheese. Also tho cheese sold here as Canadian Stilton, which ia made in the convenient Stilton shape, and is sold at 9|d per pound, by the whole cheese. All the samples were good, but to command a higher price in the English markst, Canadian makers must turn their at­ tention to the matter of flavor. Butter, I think, might ba made a great article of export from the Dominion. The price in London of good butter is 22d per pound. In Canada, very generally, I believe, it is 25 cents. But the butter should coma over in a more at­ tractive shape, in four pound rolls, instead of in tubs. A gentleman recently brought over ten pounds of Canadian butter in a crock, which conveyed in the ship’s larder, was equal in flavor, when it ar. rived in London, to tho beet English butter at 2a. per lb. The difference in price, nearly double, between English and Canadian mark­ ets ought to make Canadian farmers great exporters. There is an unlimited market here for high class butter, at very good prices for the prod aoer.
