Woodstock is anxious for tbo establish ment of a Cheese Market in that town. It looks with envy upon Ingersoll because it has got a little the advantage of tho County Town in this respect. A meeting fur the purpose was bold on Monday of last week, composed of representatives from tho Coun cil, the Board of Trade and tho Agricultur al Society. Things passed off very pleas antly, until the ••ways and means’* were spoken of, when there was & bit of a row aud tho meeting broke up without arriving at any satistactory conclusions. Wo should advise the one or two chemo buyers of Woodstock to forego tho project, aud when they want cheese to come to tho well es tablished market at Ingersoll, where they will meet with from a dozen to twenty other buyers, and from 75 to a 150 Fac- toiymon every week, where they can ob tain full information aud meet with freight agents of all the principal railway and steamer companies. These facilities can not bo obtained if tho market if to bo cut up into small sections, and for tbo benefit of tho factorymon wo should recommend that the market be kept as concentrated as possible. The Eastern Quest ion is now assuming more than ever a serious aspect, as war be tween Russia and Turkey is now inevit able. The Turks are determined to con cede no more, and to defend themselves a* best tboy may. It the contest bo confined to those two natious it is likely to bo short, but exceedingly bloody. If, as seems alto gether probable, other nations become in volved, the duration of the conflict will be much longer. The immediate effect pro duced by the commencement of hostilities will be tho demand upon this country for all manner of food supplies. Already this effect has been produced in part, while speculators are discounting the probabili ties in wheat, flonr, pork,lard and all kinds of provisions. Prices in these lines have materially advanced within the past week. This quickening in the provision trade will of course stimulate tho -producers, and lar ger crops of all kinds of food products may be anticipated. If this stimulus shall ex. tend also to onr manufacturing interests lo an extent which we confess wo do not readily see, then our laboring people mny have more work and better wages. If it does not, the enclmnced price of provisions for export will only serve to increase th* poverty and make worse tbo condi- ti>n of the laboring classes. In what ever aspect the question be viewed it pre senta many considerations worthy of the of business men, and while tho immediate effects may be to help some nvd hurt others, ths final result Trill be, wo trust, tho settlement of one of tbo most perplex ing questions in European politics upon a basis of justice alike to all tho parties at concerned.

The Credit Valley Railway question is one which at the present time is being dis cussed by everyone interested in the pro gress and well-being of the town of Inger soll. Mr. Geo. Laidlaw, the President of the company, appeared before tho Council on Wednesdy list, at a meeting called at hia request, and laid before that body certain propositions far the advancement of the enterprise. The proposition made by him was, that tho Town of Ingersoll should give the Railway company f 50,000 of Town debentures, and that tbo Company should, in Return, give tho Town $50,000 of Credit Valley Railway bonds, bearing 7 per cont. These debentures and bonds were to be payable in 20 years from the present time. The Town debentures were not to bear interest until such time as the road was so far completed that a train of cars should bo run tbo entire length of the road to Ingersoll, and the railway bonds were to Tommenco bearing interest one year later. Tho Company would further bind them selves In tho sum of $10,000, to open tbo road to Ingersoll within three working months from the time that it reached com pletion lo Wcedstodt. This proposition appears, at tbo first mention of it, to ba a very large sum for the people of Ingersoll to be called upon to hand oter in order to secure the comple tion of thh enterprise ; especially when it is remembered that we are now paying our share of the $200,000 bonus which a portion of tho Cuuuty of Oxford granted in 1878. Mr. Laidlaw makes this proposition to the Council for tbo purpose of obtaining credit, in order to purchase tho steal rails required for the road. At tho present time they can bo purchased at £2 per ton leas than the iron vails hud on tho narrow gunge roads of ths country some few years ago. Ths town debentures would bo negotiable e at tlie present time, while the Company's bonds would not ba, but it is only reason- able to suppose that within a few years, ’ or shortly after the road is in working * order, they will haVR a market value. In « the meantime, however, money and credit is wanted in order that tho work may go co, and that the lugs amount of work «kms, in whisk $1,000,000 was lookod up, ba paid to the Company out and out. This is erronious; the Town would * only lose the difference in value between the face value ef Town debentures, to-day, and the selling price of Credit Valley Railway bonus twenty years hence. The interest on the Railway bonds would pay the interest on the Town debentures and one per cent, more, which would nmount to $500 a year. The stock of sev eral of the Railroads in Canada, that have been running for twenty years, is quoted at the prevent time, at from 75 to 84, and should tho C. V. R. be favored with equal prosperity to these old roads, wo see no cause why wo might not reasonably expect that bonds of this road should not be as valuable as the bonds of those other roads which have been established for the past twenty years. If, for example, tbo C. V. R. bonds should be worth 80, twenty years hence, wo should have lo pay out, for dif ference in value, tho sum of $10,000 ; but we should have received a difference of one per cent, on the railway bonds, or $500 a year, which in 20 years would amount to $10,000, tbo fall amount of the difference between the debentures we give and the bonds that wo should receive. Besides this, there would bo the accumulated inter est on that $500 a year, which would bo no inconsiderable sum, if properly invested. Tho matter, of courao is a speculative one, but wbat business is not more or less so. We Lave placed our estimate on the Rail way bonds being worth 80, twenty years hence. This value we think might reason ably bo expected to be reached in that time lor many reasons, aud mainly that because other reads, with no better pros pect boforo thorn, nro now worth that amount, and secondly the Credit Valley will not cost as much for construction as these other roads have, while at tho same time they can be built of a more durable character. We do not advise jumping nt Mr. Laidlaw's proposition rashly. It should becaroiuHy weighed and considered aud if a smaller sum could be accepted it would bo advisable to stipulate for such a reduction. There are also other matters to be taken into account before tho agree ment is entered into. If it were practicable we should urge that the ten miles of road between here and Woodstock should be completed forthwith so as to give us a con necting link with tho .Southern. Other stipulations are also necessary to be made which should be entered iuto, binding tbo Company for their fulfilment as well as tho Town, but these preliminaries could be settled by the parties to tho contract wo presume. Wo have hoard it cbjected that tho Railway bonds were worth nothing and never would be. This is an assertion which must bo made without reflection. The railway stock may not at the present time be worth much, but us soon as it com mences to earn anything it will have a value which will increase as tho road grows older. If there is no prospect of ibis then tho sooner the project is aban doned tho better. Men do not go into an enterprise of this kind without somo pros pect of ite being remunerative, and if i‘. is remunerative it will pay something on its stock. If it is not going to be remunera tive then we shall derive no benefit from it either directly or indirectly, and it would be better to stop where wo arc—loose what wo have given and not invest any more. The ouly part of the proposition which looks mysterious to us, although we nro not quite so certain that it is entitled to weight, is that tho western tenniuus, although tho last part to bo completed is tho first to be asked for aid, aud that the largest amount. This does look, at first sight, a little unreasonable and convening which some modification in the proposition should bo expected. We would advise our readers not to form too hasty conclusions. We can well understand that many of tho people of Ingersoll are becoming dis heartened will) the delays that have taken place aud are ready to say that wo are giving euougb already and are determined net to give another cent. But if, as it ap pears to us, we could, by giving the Com pany a credit of $50,000 without injury to ourselves, it is onr duty to do so in order to secure the advantages of this additional railway line as soon as possible. spread themselves, use their influence, and got a government contract for instance, hoodwink some “ old time ” friend, and get him to go in, that bo may use bis name to shield his own, cr perhaps some worse purpose.

I have 1 feared that I would not bo believed ex- f copt by those who were already cognizant f of tho fact. It is hard to convince men , that Christian statesmen for whom they ] Voted, statesmen who bavo " moral ideas" engraven on their watch seals, can do or tolerate anything wrong. But now we are t to bavo a demonstration. Of tho nine c hundred employes of the Bureau of en- 1 graving and printing, five hundred are to ! be discharged, two hundred will be dis charged to-day and three hundred will be discharged next week. These discharges ‘ prove wbat has long boon known by many, ‘ that more than one-half of tbo employes | of this Bureau are supernumeraries, and I that the four hundred remaining can easily accomplish the work lor which niuo hnn- ‘ dred bavo been paid. There u a certain ' advantage in a mathematical and practical t demonstration like this, it opens, or ought ’ to open, tho eyes of tho constipated to a condition that reaches much further than one bureau or ono department. , THE EXTRA SESSION. Tho time for calling au extra session of 1 congress has not yet been decided upon. J There have boon rumors to tho effect that I no extra session will bo called, that some j means will bo suggested to avoid it alto gether. It is tho opinion of some that , since tho Indian war is practically over, i the army might bo reduced sufficiently, or furloughed, so as to stretch tbo present 1 appropriation to meet iudispcnsiblo mili- ] tory expenses. The extra session was discussed in cabinet meeting yesterday, and it was suggested that it would bo ad visable to fix as early a day as the 15th of May for tho assembling of tho forty-fifth ; congress, as much time will probably bo consumed in tbo election of a speaker and in tbo organization of standing committees (a later dato would scarcely give Congrers ! time for the transaction of necessary busi- < ness boforo tho intense heat of summer. 1 THE ARRIV.U. OF THE GRAND DUKES. The long expected Grand Dukes arrived yesterday, accompanied by tbo Rusian Ad- < mira’, Baron Shilling, and several officers ' of the Russian fleet. They brought, if ' statistics may be rclipd on, twenty-one trunks, from which it is inferred they will remain somo time. A largo crowd bad congregated nt tbo depot to see the young mon who were so fortunate as to bo bom great. A few minutes before tho arrival of tbo train, tho Russian minister, with tho attaches of legation in full cou$t dross came and took position on the platform. Tho tram was on timo and tbo minister entered the special car and greeted tho robed scions, kissing them warmly on bothcheeks, much to the envy of the Washit^i ton belles who bad a glimpse of the sweet ceremony through the car windows. Tbo dukes then camo out upon Iho platform en contpeciio omnium and wore escorted to their carriage in waiting. This was my opportunity to jsazo (os the crater says) unawed upon kings, or at lernt a future Czar. The grand duke Alexis is tho grand est of the two. Ho looks s< mewhat like the collossus of Rhodes just as every man does, blit the grand duke has ths advan tage of the collosaus in a military bearing, holding his feet close together, spraddling less. The dukes were driven to the resi dence of the Russian minister, while the admiral and other members of the suit hove taken apartments at the Riggs House. The party will probably call on Mr. Hayes to-day. It is the duty of the de facto sec retary of atate to consult the de facto pre*. ident as to tho time and to make all neces sary arra ngementr. This visit of Alexir recallea some incidents of his visit to Washington about five years ago. At that time there was an unpleasantness between Secretary Fish and Baron Cateoazy tho Rusaiau Minister who Uh that occasion accompanied Alexis on a visit to tbo pres ident, but. with the understanding, that the miuiater should take no part in the conversation. Although the ceremony lasted bul twenty minutes the prohibition was very heavy on poor Catacaxy, who Lad an oily and seductive tongue. Thia was the first and last call of Alexis upon Prwi- dent Grant, and ho took occasion to cut ths president last winter while at Norfolk by declining an invitation to dine at tho White Boom. CJk.S.

One of tho wastes of the farm from whiih mucE lass results, consists in having a num ber of email fields. No field, even upon a small form ought to be leas than ten acres in extent. It is not necessary that the whole of this should bo in one crop, for It may bo ap portioned into as many as may be found de- airablc. It 14. not only tho ground .occupied by the fences that is lost, but tho margin of tho field near the fence cannot be cultivated, and Tnoro ground is wasted there. The loss is greatly increased when tho fences arc croofvd, and when weeds are allowed to grow up dbofit them. In such cases it is well to remove all the inner fences of the farm and remedied the whole arrangement of them. The outer fence should bo made safe and sub- s ton tint and if there is a pasture, a safe fence should ba tnadu between this and the plowed ground. The latter no division by fences, simple lnr^>ws or lines are quite sufficient to divide one plot or crop from another ; then all the ground is used, and none wasted. If at any time one of these plots is to be pastured, or stock is to be turned inttfvit, a temporary fence is to be used. Many kinds of temporary and pot table fences have been described and illustrated in the American Agriculturist any one of which whould be found useful for this purpose. The saving of ground by removing useless fences is very important, The smaller the fields, of course tho greater the saving in proportion.. For instance, a common worm- fence around a square field of three acres, occupies 8,250 square feet—about one-fifth of an acre—or about 7 per cent, of the space en closed.* A similar fence around twelve acres, being four times .the space, occupies only double the room; a saving of CO per cent in the ground occupied. If the space enclosed is43 acres, the ground occupied by the fence is only four times that required for three acres while the area of the grottnd is increased six teen times. This explains tho great waste occasioned by fencing a number of small fields, and the saving pointed out in having a few, or one large field; Division fences are an cnor- ntous .tax upon fanners ; tho cost of maintain ing them, and the loss of ground occupied by them, and of tho yearly produce which might otherwise be taken from the ground, is even more than the original cost It is time some thing should be done to avoid this waste, and there is no better season Hum the present onn. Farming and Frull-Growhi-. Many men out of employment, ns mechanics, clerks and others, with a few hundred dollars, are thinking of buying a small farm and trying their chances ot making a Jiving by farming in a small way and by fruit-growing. Those men, in nine eases ont of ten, know notbingQpf such a business practically, but they have read glowing accounts of tho profits in raising strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes., etc., from men who had an axe io grind, as inducing settlers to locate in cer tain localities, or the creating of a market for vines and plants. When a statement is published in regard to the profits on small fruits,.it is generally a case in which the writer is desirous of appearing in print as remarkably successful; and he sup presses many* important facta, while he exaggerates in other respects ; and thus the inexperienced reader is deceived. In not a few cases, books have been published, claiming that on five or ten acres a man can support his family, and lay up money for use in his old age. Tho writers of all such works, during tho last 20 years, have milled the public by their one-sided state ments, pretending to reveal important dis coveries in the art of fruit-growing, to create a demand for their books. Such works are made to soil; and no matter from what source they come, they are deceptive. All persons who contemplate going into the fruit-growing business, should proceed with their eyes wide open.—T. B. 4f., in If.

I understand very well as probably every mau docs who handles milk, that there is a wide difference in the composition ef pure milk, especially in the nutter of the percent age of butter. AU milk is richer in September than ia June/and it varies in this respect in different seasons in the same herd or cow. Ths circumstances which lead to this arc many. The cow that is fleshy gives’ milk touch riffirer in butter than the cow that is thin and poor. One that has reached her foil maturity gives better milk than she did before oho reached that age ; a cow that is gaining flesh day by Say gives richer milk' than a cow that is losing gradually. The conditions of the pastures have also much to do with the quality of the production. This condition is governed in turn by the season. Experience has taught me that a cow’s milk very deficient in butter often fattens * finer calf than that of the first-class butter cow. When a man tells me what a splendid fat calf his cow si ways rears, I do not wish to purchase her for a butter cow. A man cannot produce milk profitably for any purpose without feeding his cows liberally with good, sound, highly nu iritow food. The cow has been likened to a machine. It requires a certain amount of food to supply the dentends of nature ; all above that amount wlnah she will take and assimu- late will bb converted into milk and The herd should be kept warm in winter, and watered with regularity. Their diet should ba varied as much as convenience will allow. Farly-cwt hyr, shorts, cornmeal, and veget ables, should'be included in the bill of fare, and wo shall then be rewarded with milk rich in ail the wduable components of the fluid. Oaths other hand, the herd that is poorly fed, caretemly housed and cared for, cannot give anything but watery milk, almost worth- teaa&w butter er ths tabla.-/. T.

Mr. Fawcett said his mm had frequently come to him and said, “Such and such a cow was dry ; 1 cannot get a drop cf milk from her.” His answer was, "Go and get a can and come with me." The man had langhcd and said : "Its no use, sir." However, he hod placed the man on one side of the cow to milk, and her calf on the other side to suck, ami they had come awaj with six or eight quarts of milk from one side of the cow. Therefore, they must not form a hasty conclusion that they had got a bad milker, for ho hatl often found that by letting the cow’s own^calf suck on ono side they got double the milk from tl c other side. 11 e always lets a young calf su< k on one side while they milk on the other, and one of his cows called Ruby hod frequently hail two calves suckinc, and supplied the whole of his household, consisting of 12 persons, with mi|k and butter. But if they hail taken her calves away from her they could not possibly have got the quantity of milk. They havo no idea how it encouraged a cow to give her milk by placing her calf by her side and letting it suck. — London Agricul tural Gazette Either t‘>c abo-e >..rk. ,, ,,,rr.

THEJ CREATES WONDER OF MODERN TIMES Touliry. Our domoitic animals, derived ns they aro from wild ancestors, require n certain amount of exercise to keen them in sound and vigorous health. Poultry cannot bo kept in largo numbers in confined areas without detriment to their constitutien. Colonel Taggart of Pennsylvania provides food and exercise for his fowls nt the same time. Tbo editor found in his poultry yard several beds about thirty foet square each, in which Col. Taggart buries oats, several bushels to tho bed. Tho grains begin, of course, at onco to swell and ger minate, and ths fowls havo free access, scratching and eating tho tender sprouts to their heart's content. While tho fowls are thus busy on one bed, a new one is prepared, which is in readiness for them by the time it is required. The idea is a good one, and wo are glad to call attention to it. In our own yards we have found tho benefit of it, uufl we aro glad to learn tlrat wo are not alonp in tho practice.— Fancier'e Jonrnal. Agricultural fietcr. Professor Garfield, of the Michigan Agri cultural College, finally says :—“ There is a money value in the making <f a beauti ful home that will pay a largo in'eiest upon tho outlay, if tbo labor bo reckoned at its highest value. You may not want to lull; but if you are a thrifty farmer and a business farmer you wish to know at tho ond of each year what aro the profits of your business, and if you find there is not a very largo bank-account as the result of tho year's work, there is great satisfaction iu knowing that your [dace has been im proved in silling value a considerable per centage, through tho exhibition of tact and taste in making the premises attractive. The merchant in Lie invoice takes account of his samples and the contents of bis show •window. Likewise tho farmer ehall count in the embellishments of bis homo as port of his capital stock.

Then he removed the hat and cloak, andplaced her in tbo comfortable seat already prepared. Th* artist went into an adjoining room,and a moment after, Herp bounded in, ex pressing, by a succession of barks, bis al most franlie daiiglit at the reunion with Irismistress. *Sinco her removal to Now York th* saw him so rarely, that the pleasurewas mingled with pain, and now with heranus round his neck, and her face hidden iu Ilia thick white hair, she cried softly, unable to keep back the tear.“ Come, Regina, sit np. Make Hero lio on that pile of cushions, which will enable yon to rest ono hand easily on his head.Cryiigl Mr. Harcourt paiuti no such wo -ping demoiselles Dry’ your ey< s, andtake down your b*ir. Your’mother wishes it flowing, as when sho saw you last.’ While sho unbraidod the thick coil, and ■’look out Hi* shining folds, trying to ad-j ist them smoothly, tbo lawyer stood pa- tiently beside her ; and once Ins soft whitehan 1 rested on her forehead, as he stroked back a rippling tress that encroached upon her temple. The dress of pearly casbracro was cut iuthe stylo usually denominated “iufaut waist,” and fully exposed the dazzlingwhiteness and dimpling roundness of the neck and shoulder* ; while the short puff ed sleeve showed admirably the fine mod elling of th* arms,Walking away to th* easel, Mr. Palma looked back, aud critically contemplatedth* effect ; and bo acknowledged it wasth* fairest picture his fastidious eyes bad •ver rested upon.He put one band insido bis vest, and stood regarding th* girl with mingled feel*ings ofrpride in “Eric’s Palma’s ward," and an increasing interest in the reticent, calm-eyed child, which had first dawned when he watched her asleep in -the railroad car. It was no easy matter to stirhis leaden sympathies, save in somo selfish ramification ; but one* warmed, and set inmotion they proved a current difficult tostem. In a low voice the artist said, ns he sel ected some blushes from a neighboringstand : * How old is she ? Her features have asingularly infantile delicacy and softness, hut the eyes and lipa seem to belong to a much older persop.'* Regina hav* you not entered upon yoursixteenth year ‘ Ye* Sir.' ’ I believe Mr. Palma, it is tho loveliestliving face I ever saw. It is so peculiar, so inteutely^-ahat shall I say—prophet eyed.’* Ye*. I believe that is tbo right word. When she look* steadily at me, she oftenreminds mo of a Sibyl.'* But is this her usual overy-day expres sion ?’ * Rather sadder than customary Ithink.* He went back to th* group, and standing in front of his ward, looked gravely downin h*r upturned face. * Could you contrive to appear a little lessSolemn ?' She forced a smile, but ho made an im patient jesture. ‘Ob—Don’t. Anything would be betterthan that diro conflict between the expres sion of your moUlii, nnd that of your eye*.Have you any hermeticnlly-sonled pleasantthoughts hidden beJiind that smooth brow, that you conld be prevailed upon to call upfor a few momen , just long enough tocast a glimmer of sunshine over your face ? I think you onco indignantly defied ever indulging in tho folly of possessing a sweetheart, but perhaps you have really enter* taiu mor* affaire* deca-ur than yon choos* to confide to such a grim, iron guardian asyours ? Possibly you may eherish cheerful memories of th* kiad-beartod young mis sionsry. who** chances of hastening toheaven per Sepoy passport, via Delhi route—seem at times to distress yon ? Does he ever write you ?’* Hi» mother has written to mo twice since the reached India, nnd once encloseda note from him ; but although *he said he had written, and I hoped for a letter, none ha* eome.*He noted the quick flutter of her lip, and th* shallow that crept into her eyss. * Then lie wont away with Ike expectation that you would correspond 4*vjth him ?’‘ Yes, Sir.’ j * He is quite a bold, audacious youngfellow, and you are a very disrespectful, imprudent, disobedient young ward, to enter into such au arrangement withoutjny consent and permission. Suppose I forbid all c immunicalion ?’ * I think. Sir, you would scarcely be sonnrsasonabls and unjust, aud it yau were, I should not obey yen. I would appeal iomy mother. Mr. Hargrove, dear good Mr. Hargrove, was my guardian when Mr. Lindsay went away, aud he did not objectto th* promise I maJo concerning a cor- MepoDdenea.' • The starry sparkle which, during thelast twelve months, ha had learned meant the signal of mutiny, fluthad up iir her ‘Take car*! when iron gloves ar* reck lessly thrown down, sarions mischief sotne- nino, until reason ba* been exhausted; but natnre endowed me with a miserly share of patience, and I do not think it entirelypolitic in yott to challenge me.

So the sunshine has come to yonr countenance at last, and all theway from India I Verily, happiness is the Iwst eoemetie, and hope tbo brightest Illuminator— even more successful thanBengal lights.* Ho bold up a letter, post marked Cal- cntiD, and ccldly watched tbo glow thatoverspread her face, as her gaze eagerly followed the motion of bis hand. ‘ I have not tonehod the sea’, but asyear guanliAu, U t* proper that I should be tuatlearqnainted with the contents. When WJ Bositior and wiabea. When I arsutue goardiaBahip ot any person or aay thing,I iaavarUblv exert all the authority, exact all th* obedience, and claim all the friribgM and perqaiaite* to whteh tharesponsibility ■okitlaa an*.' II* placed the letter on th* cushion and take her i b now. Good CH1PTEB XVII. o4 yellow li|fct MTOM tiw rtah an<l polished floor. Upon ono of tliomnil tables was a silver salver, wnoreou stood awine cooler of the same material, represent ing Bacchus crushing ripe clusters into th* receptacles, that now contained a bottle oiBudesheim, and a crystal claret jug. In tempting proximity rose a Sevres epergne of green aud gold, whose weight was upborn* by a lovely figure, evidently modell ed in imitation of Titian’s Laviuia ; and tho crowning basket was heaped with purple and amber grapes, crimson-cheeked luscious peaches, and golden pears sun- flushed into carmine fb'cks.Two tall glittering Venice glasses stood upon the salver, casting prismatic radianceover tlio silver, ns tho sunbeams smote their slender fluted sides, nnd a pair of ruby-tinted finger bowls completed the colour chord.Ou ono side of tho table sat Mr. Pahna,who had roturu*<l an hour before from Washington, aod was resting comfortably in his favorite chair, with his head thrownback, and a cigar between his hps. His eyes wero turned to tho mnntel-pieco—where, since tho day th* portrait was firstsuspended, ten months ago, Regina had never failed to keep a fresh dainty boquet ot fragrant flowers. This afternoon, thelittlo vase held only apple-geraninm leaves and a pyramidal cluster of tuberoses ; and her guardian Lad observed that whenwhite blossoms could be bought colored ones were never offered in tribute. Opposite the lawyer was his cousin andprotege, occupied in peeling a juicy peach, with oueof the massive silver fruit-knives.‘ I have never doubted the success of thocase, it was a foregone conclusion when j-ou assumed charge of it. Certainly, considering the strength of the defence, it is a brilliant triumph for you, and compensates for th* toil you hav* spent upon it. I havenever seen you labor mor* iudeflitigably.'‘ Y'es for forty-eight Lours I did not close my eyes, and of course tho resultgratifies me, for tho counsel for the defensewas tho most stubbornly contestant I have dealt with for a long time. Tho Gov -rn-uicnt influence was immense. Where have Mrs. Palma nnd Ogla gono ?’ • T<> Manliattanvillo, I beleivo.'• How long since Regina left tho bouse ? ‘ Only a few minutes before you arrived. It seems to’njo singularly imprudent to allow her to wander about the City, as sho doe*.’ ‘ Explain yourself.’ ' I offered to accompany her as escort,but she rather curtly declined my attend ance. ’‘ And in your estimation, that constitutes “imprudence ’ ‘ I certainly consider it very imprudentfor nny young girl t* stroll around alone in Now York, on Sunday afternoon ;—es pecially ono so very attractive, so conspicuously beautiful os Regina.’ • During my absence has any one been kidnapped or garroted iu broad daylight ?’ • I do not study the police r.cords.’ • Du you imagine that she perambulatesabout the sacred precincts of “Five Points" or th* purlieus of Chatham Street ?' ‘ I imagine nothing. Sir ; but I knowthat she frequents a distant portion of this City, where I should think young ladies of her social status would find no attraction.* • You have followed her then?’ Mr. Palma raised himself, and struck tho ashesfrom his cigar. • I have not, but others certainly have, nnd commented upon tho fact.’• Will yon oblige mo with tho remarks, and the name of the author ?’ ‘ No—Cousin Erie,—certainly not th*last. But I will tell you that a couple of young gentlemen met her on Eighth Avenue, aud were so impressed by her facethat they turned and followed her ; saw her outer ono of a row of poor tenement buildings iu------Street. Soon after she camo out nnd retraced her steps. They watched her til) she entered yonr house, and nextday ono of them asked mo if sho wero a sewing girl. No ward of miu* should havo such latitude.* 4 ‘ Not Elliott Roscoo—but I happen to bo her guardian. She vis ts by my permis sion, ihe house yon so vaguely designate,and the first time she entered it I accompanied her, and pointed out tho location, nnd th* line of street cars that would carryher almost to tho square. At present tho Lous* is occupied by Mrs. Mason, the wid ow of a minister, who was related to Mr.Hargrove, Regina's former guardian ; and ; the references, furnished me by tbo lady, ■ give satisfactory assurance that th* acquaintance is unobjectionable,—although ' tlio widow is evidently in very-rcd.iced cir- ,cnmstancos. I consented some weeks ago,{hat my ward should occasionally spend JjunJsy afternoon with bar.’‘ I presume yon ara the best judge of tbo grave responsibility of your position,' re plied the young gentleman, stiffiy. ‘Certaiui’’. I tbiiak so, Sir; and ns youmay possibly have observed, I am not particularly grau’ful for volunteer sugges tions relative to m.” duty- Has it everoccurred to you that tu'’g^esn goggles you wear at present, may avcidonHy lend an unhealthy tisgo to ycur vis^n?’A wave of vivid scarlet flowed to the edge of Mr. Roscoe's fair harve»t-2'us hair, as he answered angrily :• Yon are th* only person who con.’d with impunity make such an insinuation.* ‘In ioeinnations I never indulge, andimpunity I neither arrogate, nor permit in others. Keep cool Elliott, or else change i yonr profession. A man Who cannot holdhis temper in leash, and who flies emotion al signal* from every featur* in hi» face, has slender chance of success in an avocation which demand* that body and soul, heart aud minth abjure even secret signal gen ice, and dial only iu cipher. Th*youthful naivete with which you permit your countenance to reflect your sentiments, render* it quit* easy for me to c&nvprehend the natnre of your feeling for my ward. For some weeks yonr interest hasbeen very apparent, and white I am laying no embargo on your affecv.''ns, I insist that jealously must not jnnndice vour estimateof my dutioa. or of Radu**" conduct.Moreover, Ellfou. I suggest that yon thoroughly roconnottr* the grmt.d beforebeginning this campaign; for, m.‘ dey follow I tell yon frankly I believe Cupid has already declared himself sworn ally of» certain young wiiHster. who entered, and enjoys pre-emption right over what amount of heart may have thee far been developedin the girl.

Ferbwat, etc., ete.* Walking to the window, where hs stoodwith bis countenance averted, Mr. Roscoe said, hesitatingly: • I would rather ray weakness bed beendiscovered by the whole world, than that you should know it; you who having neverindnlgad such emohoe* regard them as theheight ef folly. I am awar* that at this moment yon think me an idiat."• Not neeeasarily. A known weakness thoroughly conquered, smnMimes bwomesan element ot additional strength in Lamani character As th* exaretea of muaele i builds np physical vigor, no the persistenti exertion of will devahMM* mental and : moral power.

Love in a cottage with honeysucle on the porch, and no provisionsin the lard*r, belong* to the aga of fables—is as deadaa feudal tenure.” ‘ That you are quite incapable of such impolitic weakness, I am well aware, forttn-lcr th* heel o! your iron will your heart will not oven struggle. But, unfortunately,I am an impulsive, foolish, human Roscoe—not a systematically organized, well-reg ulated, and unerring Palma.”r His cousin bowed complacently. ‘ Be kind enough to bund mo the cigars. This is defective ; will not smoks.’He leisurely lighted one, aud resumed ; • ‘ AVliilo on the cars to-day, I rend an1 article which contained a passage to thiseffect, aud I offer it for your future reflcc- • tion : “ That mnu, I think, bus bad nI liberal education, who has been so trained 1 in his yiuth, that his body is tho ready servant of his will, nnd docs with ease andpleasure all tho work that, as a inecbnnkm,it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equalstrength, and in smooth working order ; ready like a steam engine to bo turned to any kind of work.” Elliott, young 'gontlo-men. should put tlfcir hearts in their pock ets, until they hilly decide before what shrine it would bo most remunerative tooffer them. The last time wo dined at Judge Van Zandt’s—certainly not more than three months ngo—you wore all dovo- ti'-n to his second daughter, Clara of the ruby nud cedre hair.’‘ Clara Van Zandt—no, thank yon 1 I 1 would not givo Regina's pure fuco and ' sweet violet eves for u’.l tho other fomiuine 1flesh iu New Yosk !' Had his attention been fixed just then up m Mr. Palni.i, he might have detectedtbo sudden flash iu tbo black eyes, and thonervous clinching of bis right hand that rested on tho urm of the chair ; but theyounger man was absorbed by his ownemotions, aud very soon his cousin rose. ‘ In future we will not discuss this folly. At present, please recollect that tfiy ward'sface hag not been offered in tho matrimo nial market, as yet; consequ»utly your bidis prematura.

I shall not bo back before dark.” Tho happiest hours Regina hal knownsince her residence in New York, had been ipent in the room where she now *at; a buM-tnent room with low ceiling, and fadedolive-tinted walls. Tho furniture was lim ited to au old-fashioned square table of mahogany, rich with that color which c-jiucsonly from the mellowing touch of ago, and po i bed until it reflected tho goblet of white and crimsen phlox, which Reginabad placed in the centre ;—a few chairs, some swinging shelves filled with books,— nnd a couch or lounge covered with pinkand white chintz, whereon lay a pillow with a freshly ironed linen case, whomruffled edges were crisply fluted.Upon tho whitewashed hearth were several carthern puts, filled with odorous geraniums ; and over the two windaws thatopened on n narrow border of ground between tbo house wall nnd tho street, wen carefu ly trained a solauum jnsmin-oides white with waxen stais, and un abu- tihm whose orange bells striped nnd veined with scarlet, swung in every breath of airthat fluttered tho spotless white ci ttoa curtains, so daintily trimmed with a calico border of roso-culored convolvn’us. In themorning, when tho sun shone hot upon the front of the building, this room was very bright and cheerful, but its afternoon as-pcct was di«n. c >ol, s!i idowy. A gentle breeze now floa'ed across a bunch of claret- l.ued carnations gro ring in a wooden box i «»•><-*ou the window-sill, which was on a level | fe^*c^a“d bJ,t’ 5V““ baT.d with th* ground outside, and brought on ' *” ”” ““ " ........ its waves that subtl» spiciness that dwellsonly in tho deep heart of pinks. In an ohl-fnsbi me j m ip’ewood rocking i that so tormented tbo cat, the girl's fingers I ioterlacjd tightly, aud shj asked almosti under her breath : , ‘Is Mr. Liudsay's health seriously im-i paired?’ i ‘ I hope not.

His death would bo a great lossto his church, and--’ ‘ Oh, do nut speak of it 1 How can you?It would kill ins mother,’ cried Reginn, passionately, clasping her hands across her eye*, as if to shut out some horrible vision.‘L&t_ji* pray God to merciful!}' avertsuch n heavy blow. But, my dear, keep this in mind—with terribli lirr.-avementcomes the strength to bear it. Tho strength of oduranco—n strength born only in tho darkest Louis of n soul's anguish ;and at last when affliction has done its worst, and all earthly hope is dead, patience, with tender grace and gentlehealing, mutely site dowa in hoi o's vacantplace. To-da}* I found a passage in a no wbook, thatimprersed mo as beautiful, strongand true. Would you lik* to hoar it ?’ • If it will teach me patience pleaso letme hear it.’ • Give mo the book lying on tho lounge.’ Sho opened it, put on hor spectacles am’.road : • “There is tho pooco of surrendered, as well as of fulfilled hopes—tho peace, not oftho happy love and the secure fireside, but of murmuring and accepted loneliness— the peace, not of tho heart which lives iu joyful serenity afar from trouble and fromstrife, but of tho heart whoso cogfficls nro over, aud whoso Impos are buried—not tho peace which brooded over Eden, but thatwhich crownod Gethsemane.’‘ My dear Ilegina, only religion brings this blessed culm—this is, indeed thatpromised “Pence that passeth all understanding and therefor* we would nil do well to heed tho words of Isaiah; "their strength is to sit still.” *Looking reverently up at her pale, worn pallid face, the girl thought it might have boon considered a psalm of Renuuciati*n.Almost sorrowfully she answered : ‘ I bi gin to see that there is far more shadow than sanshino in this world ; thenight is longer than tho day.’ ‘ You ara too young to realize such solemn things, and sl>->nlJ endeavor to catch allthe dow of life that glistens within your reach, for the withering heat of tho noonwill corao s< on enough, to even thomist favoured. Ai enoneous impres sion has to> long prevaiel, that religions fervour and a cheerful hopeful happy spirit are incompatible, that de voutness manifests itself in a lugubrious or at least solemn visage, aud that a joyousmirtlifu1 temperament is closely allied to ‘the world, tho flesh and tho devil.’ Amors mischievous fallacy nover found favor. Innocent happiness in our hearts is acceptable worship to our God. who hasgiven us tho language of joy os Hs gaveto birds th* power of song. In the univer sal canticlo which nature sends up to itsCreator, shall humanity, the noblest of the marvellous mechanism, alone be silent? Tho innocent joyousness of a nnre heart, isbelter thou iuceus* swung in the temples of tbo Lore.’ ‘ Mrs. Mason I wish to consult you on asubject that has given mo somo anxiety. Would you approve of my attending tho theatre and opera ? I have never yet gonebecause I think neither Mr. Hargrove nor Mr. Lindsay would have advised me to do so, nnd I am perplexed about the matter,f >r Mr. Pulma says that next winter ho shall insist on my se.ri ig the best plays and operas. What ought I to do ?’• If you were a member of any church which' expressly prohibited such amuse- ineuts, I should say. do not infringe thorules which you voluntarily promised to i * The feeling which Gt <1 put into my s >ul; when II* gave it to me, to touch me right from wrong.’‘ Is it? And if you wire a Calmuck or a Mongo), it would teach you to reverence Shigem>oni ai the highest god ; and bidyou fail down nnd worship Dalablama,i praying him to give you a pill of couse- crated dough.’* You mean that conscience is meroly educati >n ? Even if it should bo so, which is not true, I think ; the Bible says “ th*heathen are a law unto themselves,’ and God knows they worship tho best they can iiud, until revelation shows them theirerror. But I do not livo in Ln«sn and my going to church is not akin to Lamaism. Nothing will happen to ini’, and I assureyou, Sir, I will come home as soon ns the servic* isover.’‘ Is your eternal salvation dependenton church going ?’ ‘ I dou’t know—I rather think not; becauso if it were not possible for mo to attend scrvico, tho Lord would know it, nml He only requires what Ho makes possible.But at least you must admit it cannot hmm mo, nnd I enjoy coming to this church more than any I hove scon siuco I left ourown dear old one nt V------’ * It is a small, vary plain affair, in no respect comparable to St. Thomas’s Church,where Mrs. Palma takes you every Sunday morning.

Iler hair, originally polo brown, was ns snow-wbito as the tarlatan cap thatnow framed it in a crinwed border ; and her lu .trijfss black dress was relieved nt the neck and wrist by ruflles of the samematerial. ' On the Eilflo lay her spectacles, and up on the third fiuyCr of tho left hand was agold ring, worn so thin that it was a mere glittering thread. Near her sat Regina, playing with alargo white and yellow cat that now and then sprang to catch a spray of lomou-scented gtranlum, which was swung tens,mglyjust b yond tho reach of her velvet paws. • I am glad my dear, to hear you speakso kindly <>f the members of yourguardiun’s family. I have never yet seen that person who has n >t 6 >me redeeming trait. Manyyears ago, I knew Louise Neville very well. She was then the handsome happy brideof a young naval officer, who was soonafter drowned in the Buy of Biscay ;—be fore the birth of their only child—Olga. At first Louise seemed heart-broken by tholoss of her husband, but not more than two years afterward, she married Mr. GodwinPalma, who was reputed very wealthy. I have not seen her since Olga was a child, but have beard that her second husbandwas an exceedingly stern, exacting man ;treating her with far less tenderness than she received from poor Leo Neville, whowa» certainly very fond of hrr. Mr. God win Palma died suddenly one dav, whileruling down in bis carriage to his office on Wall Street, but he mad» a will only a few weeks previous, in wh ch ho bequeathed*!< bis fortune—exc<pla small annuity toIxiuixo— to his f< n Erie, ---- -— mother bad posses,* 1 a 1.......Louise coDtested th* will, but the courtsustained it; and I have heard that Mr. 1 Erie Palma has always treated her with marked kindness and respect, and he provides liberally u>r li>r and Olga. Louise is a proud ambitious woman, fond of pomp and splendor;—but io those tastes she waseducated, and I always liked her, valued her kindness of beait, and strict integrityof purpose.*‘ You do not kn-iw my guardian ?* • I never met him till tho day lie brought yon first to see me, and I was surprised tofind him so comparatively young a man, lot ho i« rapidly building up a very enviablereputation in his profession. He has been quite generous in his treatment of some relatives* who were at one time much reduced. Ilis father's sister, Julia Palma, married a dissipated young physiciannamed Roscoe, and your guardian has aLmost entirely educated one of the boy*; sent him to college, and then took him intobis law office, ^besides BMieting in the maintenance of Mriu Roscoe, who died at ent three years ago. Regina, I bad aletter from Elise Inndsay, sine* you were here. She Bends kindest message* of loveto you, find says you must not allow newfriends to supplant old ones. She mention ed also, that th* clkuate of India did noteoeaa very desirable for Douglas*, who ha*been quite sick mor* than one* since bis settlement in Ruhrieund. I ats glad thatElise has gon* to Douglass, for his father died of consumption, and 1 always feared he might have inherited th* tendency, though his constitution seems tolerably good. After Peyton'* death, she had n.rthmg to keep her from her nobleboy. God grant that India may never prove m fatal to all her earthly hope* as itbaa been to mine.* which are sinful, vicious ami vulgar; but there are hundreds of books quite as badand dangerous. As wo choose only thebest volumes to read, so bo euro to select only pure pl iy* and opera?. ‘Lear’ wouldteach you the awful results of filial dis obedience ; ‘Merchant of Venice,’ the sin of avarice, ‘Julius C.esar’ that of unsanctifiedambition. There are thread* of wisdom, patience, charity and heroism which might bo gathered from the dramaticspindle, and woven advantageously into the garment of our daily lives nnd thoughts.There is a marvellous pathos, fervour,sanctity in the ‘Casta Diva’ of ‘Norma,’ that appeals to my soul ns scarcely anyother piece of musie ever has done, and Ireally should bo glad to hear it played on the organ every Sunday morning. Why? Because I recognize in it the spirit ofPrayer from a tortured erring human soul, invoking celestial aid, and to mo it is no longer a pagan Druid song, trilled by thepopular I’rima-Donna at the Academy of Music, but a hymn to the heavenly powers, as consecrated ns an .4cc Maria, or nsRossini's ‘Inilammatus.’ Are wo tower than the bees, who wisely discriminate between pure honey and poisonous sweets?

Tli* edifice was small, but the alfar andpulpit were handsome, and, though the windows were unstained, tlio light was mellowed by buff inside blir.ds. The seatswere by no mead* filled, and tho congre gation was composed of people whoso ap pearance denoted that many belonged totholaboring class, and none to the Brah min casto of luillionnaircs, though all were neatly and genteelly apparelled.As the silver- haired pastor entered the pulpit, tho organ began to throb in a lowprelude, and four goutlcm:*n bore shallowwaiters through tho assemblage to receive tho contribution for tho “Destitute," Mr. Palma saw his companion take somethingfrom her glove, and when tho waiter reached thaw and she put in hor small alms, which he judged amounted to twenty -five cents, lie slipped his fingers in his vest pocket and dropped a bill ou the plato.• Is all that lingo sum going to India, to the inistionariee ?’ ho gravely whisper ed.• It is to feed tho poc r of this church.’ As the organ swvlled fu'k-r and louder, Mr. Palma saw lUgina start and 1 sten intently, then tho choir began to sing, and she turned very pale and shut Iler eyes. |Ho could discover nothing re mark able intlio music, ‘‘Oh 1 that I had wings !” but ns it progressed, tho girl’s emotion increased—became alniast uncontrollable, and through tho closed lids tho tears forced themselves rapidly, while she trembled visibly and seemed trying to swallow her sobs. Ho moved closer to her, and tho blueeyes opened and looked at him with such plending deprecating misery iu their beau tiful depths, that ho was touclioj, anil involuntarily laid his ungloved baud on her little bare fingers. Instantly they closed around it, twining like soft tendrils abouthis, and unconsciously his clasp tightened.All through tbo singing her tears fell un checked, sliding over her cheeks and uponber white dress, and when tho congregation knelt in prayer, Mr. Palma only leaned his head on tho back of the pow ia frout, and watched the figure bowed on hor kneesclose beside him, cryiug silently, with htq; face in her hands. When the prayer ended and the mjnietorannounced tho hymn, she secmoil to have recovered her composure and finding tho page, off. rod her pretty gilt hymn-book toher guardian. He accepted it mochoni- cally, aud during tho reading of the scrip tures that soon followed, bo slowly turnedover the leaves until ho reach'd tho title page. On the fly-leaf that flultoted over,was written ; “ilegina Orme. With tho love and prayers of Douglass Lindsay." Closing the book, he laid it iu bis lap, leaned back, aud folded bis arm over his chest.The preacher read the sixty-third psalm, and from it selected his text :• My »oul followeth hard after thee.’ Though certainly nota tuodora Chrysos tom, be was au earnest, faithful, and enlightened man, full of persuasive fervour ; and to the brief but interesting discourse he delivered, a discourse occasionally sprinkledwith felicitous metaphors and rounded with several eloquent passage*, Mr. Palma appeared to fiston quit* attentively.

Huwkias has not yet been arreeted, although a reward has been ottered fox bis apprehension. rvaTuxa rakncuLaas. Further particulars are at hand of the •Looting affair, which occurred a fow mites from the village of Sparta, en Friday evening last. It appears that the man Hawkins, wbe-committed the dead, follow ed his wife fronor the State of Indiana to the midenco of her brother, Laertes Ma nor, with the mtonlfon of carrying Lis previously exprssosd threat of killing hie wife lute execution. U has also transpired that Mr- David Harvey, an old and res- parted farmer of Yarmouth, and a neigh-1 bor of Mr. Menor rendered Mrs. Hawkins considerable assistance daring the recent di vorce suit in Indiana, and that for so doing Harvey had incurred Hawkin’s hatred. A fow days agojtho latter sent a letter ts Harvy in which ha inf >rin?l him that for the part he (Harvey) had taken in tho legal difficulties between himself and wife, be (Hawkins) would shoot him nt the first fa vorable opportunity. This letter rias taken ont of the Post-office an hour or so after Hawkins shot his wife, and in nil probabil ity, had not Mr. Harvey been absent from home on tho mission indicated, he too would have been made a target for tho as-, eassin's revolver. Hawkins, after shooting at his wife, tuxnod around and fired at her brother, the bullet just grazing the side of his head. Quick as thought Menor turned around, and closing with Hawkins threwhim down and beat him severely, leaving him in an insensible condition on the ground, while ho vvent to Ins sister's assistance. After lifting herupon a coach and procuring a man to go for medical aid, hereturned to where a fow miuutcs previous ly ho had left Hawkins, only to find that the latter had recovered sufficiently to fleefrom the premises. The next hoard of Hawkins was between 10 and 11 o'clock the same night. Ho visited the hoi so of‘Duncan Zavitz, some distance north of Honor's, and called for something to oatand water to wash in. After those requestshad been granted, one of the Zavit’s family questioned him to where ho lia/1 been,and so forth, and Hawkins replied that he had been shot at. He was without a hat, and when leaving asked Zavitz to loan hima hat. Since that time he has not been seen, though the neighbors have been searching for him since. The ball, whichlodged iu Mrs. Hawkin's left shoulder blade, has been extracted, and the proba bility is she will recover. A description oftho would-be assasin has been sent to tho police of this city and the towns through out the West, and it is hoped tho offenderwill soon be caught and brought to jus tice. lalsteDte to Ibe Credit Valley Hallway.

During tho last dull season a well-knownKing street merchant was discovered tak ing giant stops iu the direction of his placeot business at 7 o'clock iu tiro morning. Arival tradesman, who was well assured that large sales was not the motive that induced this rapid transit, hailed the swift “commercial traveller,” and interviewed him as follows :“ What’s broke loose, Charlie ? Where aro yon going in such a hurry “ I'm going to the store."“ Trade must bo active with yon I" “ It's not tho trade that has called msout."“ It's not a woman is it ?'* “No;of course not. But I"1 explain tho thing to you to keep down your internal suspicions. There are three partners in our store, and we have only two chairs. The last man that comes in tho morninghas to stand up all day. It is very impor tant for mo to get to tho store early thismorning—good diiy."And Charley "lit out” like a reporter for a newspaper en route for a fire. A Roman correspondent writes -Italyin taking almost tho first steps towardsdoing something to promote cotton-spin ning. An association has been formed,with its seat at Tarin, to collect information and stimulate effort in connection with this industry, which has become suchan important one in the United States and other countries. Among the farts brought out at tiro first meeting of tho society was oae—w ith which we were not before ac quainted—that Italy has at present iu op eration but 700,000 spindles in cotton-spinning. The statement was made that aboutseven-tenths of tho manufactures of cotton consumed in Italy came from England.Trade treaties which Lave for some time existed, were so framed as to give an nndue advantage to British manufacturers, andtiro demand is made that in tbs renewal which must come before long, such modifi- shall be made as shall favor tho native instead of the foreign interest. In fact, theassociation asks that the tariff may bo so adjusted as to augment tho revenue nndgive protection to industries which are in jured by an unequal competition. On tiro first whisper of such an intention therecomes from the organs of ‘British intoroste’ a snrly growl. According to this report, England finds in Italy a market annuallyfir cotton mannfsetnres of the value of ♦24,000,000 or nearly ♦! for eacli’inhabi- tnnt. The agents of that country aro established everywhere, and any and every fact bearing upon trade nnd cotnmerco is collected and carefully reported. Paidmissionaries of free trade are now in Uro country nsing their influence through vari ous organs to hinder, if possible, any actionin the sense of protection or encouragementof native manufactures.

Quite a number of small sales of new cheese have been matte at from 12 to 12Jc. Buyers freely offer 11c but factory men are not willing to drop to that figure yet, and many are hold ing out for 12Jc. We should not recommend factorymen to hold off too lo ig, as the graas will soon begin to grow, and prices must then of necessity come down. The cable bolds firm Henrich Cheese Barket. Trouble In (he ministerial Fold, Tho editorial correspondent of the Mon treal Gazette, writing on tiro 20th insl., says :—The lobbies aro full of rumors, andjudging by Ministerial countenances Uro fold is in tribulation. Mr. Blake is unfor- tuirotely confined to bis home by a ratherstvoro illness which ho has been attempting unsuccessfully to fight lor tho last fortnight and his countenance, which is a perfect political barometer, is denied to us. But there is a tone of depression manifest which is absolutely unmistakable. The cause isunderstood to bo two-fold, the chief cause being tho position of Mr. Anglin, nnd the second tho position of tho Minister of Customs, Mr. Burpee. It is understood that Mr. Blake insists that tho Speaker shall step down and out; bi< violation of thelaw is so clear that the Miuistcr of Justice feels he never would bo ablo to look tho people of Ontario in tiro face, if with hisrecord on tho subject of the indepondance of parliament, ha should consent to his being let off. Ho has. besides, his reputation as a lawyer to sustain. Mr. Smith, on the other baud, who is the best-natured man in the house, Las had bis sympathiesstrongly enlisted on behalt of his old friend and colleague, and insists upon tho committee reporting in bis favor" It is well known that there is no lovo lost between tiro Minister of Justice and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who, if tiro oppositein temper are generally found to agree,should bo firm friends. Their animosity broke ont in the Railway Committee a few weeks ago, and showed itself so manifestlythat Mr. Holton suggested that they should settle their differences in Council. The rupture over, tho Anglin matter seemi toliavo been a very bitter oue ; but, Mr. Blake remaining firm, tho last report isthat Mr. Anglin will lesign. Such anoevveennti iiss iiua ltuhuo liuassvt ddeeggrreeee eetmnbuaarrrraassssinnigg ttoo Miu.:,!ters, and is certainly calculated to 6au;e uneasiness.

Mr. Vail, too it is now said, stands in somewhat the sameposition as the Speaker, Laving bsen one of tiro chief proprietors ef tho Citi ten, of Hal ifax, while that paper was doing largequantities of Post-office printing. I would not be surprised to see some withdrawals from the Cabinet before many days. Underany circumstances it is evidant to every body that wo have fairly reached tho be ginning of the end, and that the Government is tottering under ’Iro weight of itsown corruption and political wrong-doing. Temperance meetings are being held invarious portions of Ontario in accordance’ with what is known as the “Murphy Movo- ment.” It began under the efforts of Mr.Francis Murphy, who sevon years ago, while keeping a saloon iu Pittsburg, I’a.,was sent to prison, charged with tho crime of murder committed in a drunken quarrel. White in confinement he became a totalabstainer and a Christian, and he camo out, st length, to preach the gospel of temperance, or temperance and the gospel, with almost unequalled power and influence. His great stmeess was at Pittaburg, lastwinter, sometlrinx like 20,000 signatures being obtained by tbs Murphy’s Pledge in that locality. In Philadelphia, over 10,000signatures have already been obtained, and Mr. M. says the work has but just commenced. From Pittsburg the movement spread, under the leadership apparently inspired by him through large portions ofPennsylvania, Ohio, Weet Virginia and W*>-U'rn New York, and now it has crossedthe lines into Canada.
