Beatrix wont back to hor room, accom­ panied by Mrs. paloimer and Balla Scratchell. Iu going through the low.diai- ly lighted hall she pound a group of figures standing eloie together near the foot of the staircase. The Vicar, Mr. Namby.and one other, a taller figure than either of the two, a man standing with half averted face, listening to some remark of Mr.Duloimor'e. Toward this on* whose faoa was hidden Beatrix looked intently; nut there waa no time lor more than that ono earnest look, for Mrs. Dulcimer's supporting ana was around her, and Bella was on the other side. Between these sympathizers she was lad up the shallow old atairs to tho familiar corridor which U*d to-_niftlii eo awful and even unknown an air. Death hy yonfler in tbo bed-chamber where tba coroner and Lis jury bad gone in silently ball an hour ago to look upon the marble form that Lad so lately been master and owner of all things at the Water House. In tha place of that Bteru ruler there was now only the lifeless clay. A dreadful blankness and emtiness bad descended upon tbs bouse, so quiet, so lifeless hortofore, but now parvad- t <1 with the one idea of death.Beatrix shivered as she passed the door of the room where her dead father was lying. Mrs. Dulcimer perceived that shud­dering recoil, and again suggested that her sweet Beatrix should come to the Vicar­age. But again Benlrix was firm. ‘ Do yqu think I am frightened at tho thought of death?'sho asked, bitterly. ‘My father's life was a living d<alh—to ino. He is no further removed from mo than ha was yesterday.' • My dear child' if I could stay with vou here I would not so much mind,' said Mrs. Dulcimer; ‘but I shall be obliged lo go back to tba Vicarage al most immediately. There iq Clement's tea. He would not think of Bitting down to tea without me if bo were ever BO hungry. And than later in the evening there will bo tho carol Ring- era. always give them cake and Lot < l.Jor wine. So you sec, my love, I shall bo obliged to go.' Beatrix gave a weary sigh.•Indeed, dear Mrs. Dulcimer, I shall bo bettor alone,' shs said. 'I am grateful for vpur kindness,but 1 would ratbor be alone. cruel to keep her iu this melancholy house. Do go home, Bella, or co to the Viearngo with Mrs. Dulcimer and hear the carols.’ •Beatrix, how can you suppose that I would leave you I’ exclaimed Bella ; and again Beatrix sighed wearily. It would have been an infinite relief to Iter to be quite alone. She hid recoguixod Cyril in that little group in the hall, and lie had let her pass without one word of consolation, wi bout one pitying lack. He tatut have ki own that she was passing, sho told her- self, and ho had kept bis face averted, be bad stood coldly by and made no sign of sympathy or kindly lealing.Mrs. Dulcimer tied her bouuet strings, kisHed Beatrix repeatedly .promised to come and see her directly after morning service next day, and then honied off to superin­ tend the Vicar’s substantial evening meal.‘I shouldn’t be surprised if Kenrick WM to pop in upon us to.night,1 she said,as sho was going away. • Ha promised to spend Christmas with ns.’ Beatrix gave a 1 tUe riart at Kenrick's name. Ho was so near Cyril iu bsr mind, anil just now she was deeply moved by Cyril's strange coldness. Mrs. Dulcimer saw her startled look,and had an inward movement of triumph. Hare was one of her good-natured schemes assuredly about to prosper. Kenrick had evidently made an impression upon Beatrix; and death had mala Beatrix mistrets of a splendid fortune. ‘I only hope that foolish boy will remem­ber liia engagement to cat Christmas dinner with us,' thought tlto Vicar's wile, as sho trnged sturdily homeward with her petti, coats bell well out of the mud, and bar country, made boats defy lug (he slushy road. When Mrs. Dulcimer had gone, tho two girl* aal at opposite sides of the hearth,very mneh as they had bean seated tho night before, only there was no pretence of read- ing to-night. Beatrix sat looking idly at the Dre, with great melancholy eyes ; Bulla watched her ready to offer any scrap of consolation which might suggest itself. ■It aeems painfully clear that my falh«r committed suicide,' Beatrix said,at tba end of a long reverie. ‘Ob I hops not,' exclaimed B»lla,piously. •We must not think that. dear. Ho may fiava taken an overdow of laudanum.’ •Yes if fie bad basn iu the habit of taking laudanum. But h« was not.' ' 'How can you know that? Poor Mr. Harefleld wag so reserved, He lived so much apart from you.' •But if ho had taken laudanum babitaah ly somebody would hevc known it. Pett- cock.for instance, who always waited upon him, No, Bella, tlioro was something in that Italian's visit, I believe my father poisoned himself,''But why.’ 'For th* last ten y*xrs bls life has been on* long regret. Yes. I am sure of that now. His coldness and nukinduSM to ma were tho growth of despair. Ha told mu that he had closed bis heart against all hu­man affection ten years agi. That was the time of my mother's death. And last night thogo long yenrt of grief onlmiuated in a parosysm ot despair; and in a rash moment-r a moment in which he was not rwponxibla for his actions—he threw away hie life.' ‘But how did he com* by the poison ?' asked Belta. ‘He must have obtained the poison somehow. That would be a delib­ erate act—joet M deliberate as your* when you want info six <Jifler*iitchemist*'«hops.' 'Why do you look nt »• like tbet,BBll*?' inquired Rgalrix, strack by somethin'! euriou in the other's intent gaze. 'Do you suppose that I did not tell the truth about the laud an u in I bought at Great Y-*ffoid?' ‘I know you fold the truth. I was with yon in the pony carriage,you know. Don't yon remember my asking the mMoing of all those little packages? I WM only think- lag, jaat now, that had I bean you, I don’tthink I should told about that lenii-m m ,'‘Why not? There was no harm in my baying it X had M ranch right to bay that you toil about if ‘Why, Ai goaJses*’ name?*•Becanaa it might make a bad idem - rion upon same peep]*—peordn wise don’t suggestion had caused. Beatrix's wound­ ed feeling was not easily appeased.-If such s, thing can enter into ilia mind °ycy earliest friend—my old playfellow— wnat measure of evil ani I to expect from Itrtngera?" she said. ■•Aly dearest Beatrix, Lava I been speak­ ing of my own thoughts? I only said I W^f orry ^i^Sr^d'0’110^ a-Qf°rtu?st* *1 shall never bo sorry for having spoken ’ ths truth.’ Mrs. Dulcimer had her wish gratifittd. At the gate of tba Vicarage a forge Rnd blundering vehicle Homed upon hor through the rainy darkness. It was one of the Great Yaffurd flies, a cumbrous conveyance of wood, iron, and mouldy leather, which Mr. Bollen, of the Georg", innkeeper and postmaster,facetiously called a landau. ‘Have you brought aoy one from the town?’ asked Mrs. Dulcimer. •Yes, mum; I've byiogod a geu’leman from t' Btention.'Mrs. Dulcimer went into the house de­ lighted. She forgot the awfulness of things at tba Water House, forgot every thing but this propitious arrival of Sir Ken­ rick. ‘My dear Kenrick,' she exclaimed, mak­ing a friendly rush at tha newly arrived quest at ha stood in th? hall talking to the Vi?ar, ‘bow good of you to remember your promise i' •My dorr Mra. Dulcimer, do you suppose there is any bouse in which I would sooner spend rny Christmaa than in this? But what terrible news this is about Mr. Hare- field.’ •IB it not awful? Poor Beatrix, without a relative, and with hardly a friend except Clemsnt and myself. With her great wealth, too—for DOW she it miatrcBi of every thing.'•There is no one else,I suppose, to whom Mr. Uarcfield can Lave left bis estates?' 'Not a croatHre. He lived like a hermit, and Beatrix is Bia only chiM. It is a great fortune fora girl to ba mistress of.' ‘Is it really so large a fortune?' inquired Kenrick, in a conversational lone,taking off bis eoat wrap. ’Immense. Mr. Hsrefi'dd's mother was old Mr. Pynsont'a only daughter, and a great heiress. There is tho Liucoushire prop­ erly I have beard Mr. Scratchell say that it brings in more than the Yorkshire estate. In round nnmbors, Beatrix will have’ something like ten thousand a year,' said tho Vicar rather impatiently. ‘A great degrees of emotion with which each partic­ular witness had given his or her evidence. Opinions at present were dUiiogaisliod by their vagueness. Thore wag a general idea that Mr. HareftoU's death was a veiy nayii- terioDB affair; that a great deal more would coroe out at the next inquiry; that the buitler and Bella Scratch*)! were both keep­ing bock a groat deal; that Beatrix and her father had lived touch more ^(nhappjly to-, gather than any body bad hitherto suspect-, ed; ihat Beatrix, being of Italian origin on the mother's aide, -was likely to do strange things. In support of which sweep­ ing conclusion the better informed gossips cited the examples of Lucretia Borgia, Beatrice Ceooi, and a young woman ebris- toned Blanca, whoso surname nobody was able to remembor.Luts in the evening Orril Calvorhonso came to the Vicarage. He hud promised to bo there to hear the carol singers, in whom, na his own scholars, ho was bound to bo interested. lie was looking pale and worried, and Mrs. Dulcimer immediately •uggested a tumbler of Rebecca’s port-wino negns, a restorative which tbo curate oh- atinntely refused. ‘ I nm a Hula anxious about your friend Miss Harefiold,' he said. ' I have written to a London Lawyer lb coma down here immediately and protect hor interests,' ‘And I have written to Mr. Mirers, of Great Yafford,' said the Vicar. ‘ She ought to bo well locked after between us.’ ' You were with her after the inquest, Mra. Daleimor,' said Cyril. • How did she seem ?' ' Dazed.’ exclaimed Mra. Dulcimer, ex­actly as she had exclaimed before. 1 There is no olher word for it. She reminded me of a ileep-wa’ker.' deal too much money woman, and likely to bo of a blowing.' ‘Not if she an CIOKMUI,' remonstrated for any you pg a burden instead honorable runn, Mrs- Dulcimer.‘Ail depends upon how sho marries. Sho ought to marry soma one who can give bur position. Bile does not want a rich bus- band.'Mr. Dulcimer rigbod. ‘If our English Church had what it ought to have, educational establishments for women, I should reccommend Beatrix to avoid the rocks and shoals of luatrimouv, and bestow her wealth upon such an insti­tution. She could live happily as tba foundress and superior of a Protestant con vent, like Madame De Maintenon nt St. ‘With this difference,' said Sir Kenrick. 'Madame De Maiatonon was an old woman, and bad bad two husbands.’ '.Rut her only period of happiness was at St. Cyr.’ • Su she said ; yet she intrigued consid­ erably to b# Quean of France, a la main gauche.' •Clementi’ exclaimed Mrs. Dulcimer, looking tha image of horror. ‘ Tho word convent makes me shudder. When a Protestant clergyman talks approvingly of convents, people may well say w« are drill­ing toward Romo.’ ‘ Please, mum, the fowls are getting M cold as toe,' said Rebecea nt the door of the dining-room. ' Do let ma taka your bon? net and shawl, mum.'They all went in, Mrs. Dulcimer having removed her wraps and shaken ont her frillings hastily. The dining lobio looked the picture of oomfort, with its composite meal, half tea, half supnor, A pair of fowls, toasted Io what Rebecca called 1 a turn,’ a dish of Yorkshire bam, a cold sirloin and a winter fiilad, made M only Rebecca, taught by the Vicar himself, Could make salads. Kenrick had a fine appetite aftoy big long, damp joarney from the south. AH tea-time the talk was qf Mr. Harefield and Beatrix. The Vicar had been in Ibe little group of listeners standing by the door of the Water Hoqse djuingtroom, and hod beard the whole of tha coroner's inqniry. i That poor girl ought to hava somebody to watch tha proceedings ou her behali,' said Mr. Dulcimer. ’I shall go over to Great Yafford on Wednesday and seo slivers- He is aboqt the uleverest lawyer in the town.' •Mr. Scratchell would surely protect Bea­trix's intertste,' suggested Mrs. Dulcimer. ‘Mr- Soratoholl is very good as a collect­or of rente,but I do not give him credit for befog exactly the mau for a critical poei- tlou.'‘What do you moan by a critical position, Clement?' exclaimed Mre. Dulcimer.‘I mean that Bsatrix's position is a very critical one. Her admission that sho bought laudanum at eix diffart nt shops within one weak of her father s death by that poison,i« calculated to raise veky pein- fol suspicions in tbs minds of those who do not know the girt's nstore M well as you and I do.'■Oh Clement bow dreadful 1’ ‘Toprdlcq| her against suah suspicion she must have a clsvar lawyer nt her back. Mr. Harefleld must have got the laadannm that killed biro some where or other. The mode and manner of his getting it ought to be found out before ibis day'It must be found ont I’ exclaimed Mrs. Dulcimer. 'Kenrick, yoa will help this poor ill-used girl, will you not? Yonr ahiv- ■hra will ha srnnaeA in her defense.’ CHATTER XXIII. GLOOMS' DAVS, _Mnt. Dulcimer called at the Water House eftor the morning service on Cristmas-i’.ay. She found Beatrix alone, and very quiet, disinclined to talk of her grief, or indeed to talk about any subject whatever. Balla had gone to assist at the early dinner at the Park, or, in other words, to see that the juvenile Pipers dU not gorge themselves with turkey and pudding. * You ought not to have let Bella leave you, my love,' said Mrs. Dulcimer. * It is dreadful for you to bo alone.' * Dear Mrs. Dulcimer, Bella can not do rno any good. She can not bring tny father back to life, or explaiu the awful mystery of Lia death. I insisted upon her going to the Park to-day. 1 am really bet^ ter alone.'1 My poor Beatrix, I can na|,nndcratan<l you.' \ ‘ Am I RO eccentric iu liking (o'ait by th* fireside quietly and suffer in silence?' ai.ked Beatrix, with a wintry emile. * I should have thought any one would bare preferred that to being the object of per­petual consolation. This was a etrong-miudod view of the case which Mrs. Dulcimer could by no moans understand. It seemed to remove Beatrix further away from her. But then she had always been able to got on bettor with Bella than Beatrix. 'You are not without Irionds, Beatrix, and advisers in this hour of trouble,' she said, encouragingly. And then she told Beatrix about the two lawyers to whom the Vicar and bis curate had written.' Strange, was it not, that Cyril and my hnsbsnd should both think of the same thing ? ' |TO DE COXTINUED. | break waU^? A. There would be no'com­ parison Mjegwds comfort and quick de­spatch of DC*|ina*s. Q. Wou^ yoa still prefer tye landing ? Yes, sir, by ell means. To Senator Scott—I would consider it unsafe to rater, the Kaministiquia with * large craft, if it was unsafe to ba at the dock st Ponce Arthur's Landing.Captain AXOEMON, sworn—I te*ida al Sarnia, abd command the steamer Quebec. I have visited Prines Arthur’s Lauding one Imndred and six times. The vessel draw* twelve feet four inches. I have never had to leave Prince Arthur’s Landing through strew of weather, as tho vessel remsiu* Bnfoly al tho dock during a etornj. I en- tered the Kansinutiquia twice with my vw«ej. Sho was drawing eleven and a half feet. We touched bottom below the bar, and dragged from there up to Oliver's mill. X turned the vwsel around in the riwjpUb Ker own mwlunftw, aBd^fthnut tha uso of the line. HnTl^nebeo is 200 feet over all. I prefer the Landing to tho river in the present state of things. Q. What is required at the river to make it satisfactory? A. That tho channel should be 160 feet wide and 16 feet deep, that th*ro should bo piewt, and that ut the entrance to the river there should he light­ houses and n fog whistle. Senator VIDAL—Suppose these improve­ments were made, and there was a break­ water at Prince Arthur's Landing, whkh would you prefer to go to ? A. Prince Ar­ thur's Landing. To Senator Aikina—As the river is now, yon could net enter it at all in fogs, which arc frequent np there. If all the impmve- ments .on the river were completed, there would be a difference in time in favor of ths Landing. The fogs are most frequsnt io tbo spring, in June and July. I have experienced heavy storms on Lake Supe­ rior, and always consider it safe to get into Tbxnder Bay when a storm is in progress onlside. To Senator Scott—1 have advocated the Landing & little. I was presented with fire twenty d«Har gold pieces by ths people of the Landing. CAPTAIX ROBKUTSOX sworn. To Senator Aikimt—I reside al Goderich.

COXTISUZD raou LAST WEEK. OTTAWA, April 1. The Senate Committee of Enquiry into the Kamioistiquia Land aud Reebing Hotel purchase again wet this morning. Captain ALEX. MACHOUOALL, sworn—To Senator AikiuB—I am master on (he City of Duluth. I have sailed on Like Supe­ rior for seven years. The City of Duluth bat a carrying capacity ol 1,400 tons. She is 217 feet over all, and 80 feet 6 inches beam. The venae! draws 14 feet of water when leaded, but shedraws 12 feet flinches when going through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie. I have been to Thunder Bay regu­larly during the hat sixteen years. When I go there the steamer remaina at tha dock. I have not seeq any stormy weather in the bay, and. though there have been slonui outride, have never been uuoonrfortable at tfiu dock at tbo Landing. It would not bo safe to enter the Kamiuistiqaia when it would be unsafe to be at the dock. Fogs are frequent in that neighbourhood, especi­ally in June. In a fog a vessel can got to thtFdoek at Prince Arthur's Landing, hut I don't think the entrance to the mouth of the Katnioiatiquia could bo made in a fog. It would be dangerous. Lwtt fall there WM ice in the Kamioistiquia when there WM no ice in Thunder Bay. 1 should think the bottom at Prince Arthur's Landing would be very favour able for the oon*truction of a breakwater. harbour on L«ka Superior is formed anlirely by » break- Water. It wa* completed two years ago. It is not affected by the sea, and the shel­ter inside the breakwater is ample. North- «MI, nortb-weet, and south-west winds are the prevailing winds.

To Senator Scott—Suppose Lbs river was dredged seventeen or eighteen feet deep and one hundred feet wide, would you have anv difficulty in entering it?- A- Ons hundred feet is pretty narrow. If it was two htmdred feet there would ba no dirfioultv. Q. What is tho present width of the channel ? A. Not over forty-five feel. Q. Still TOU get in? A. Yes, but you Lava to go like a shot out of a gnu, or you would not. Senator AIKTNS said ho had several more captains to call, and he would call them next Mondnv.

WITNESS said he thought it was in May, 1876.Mr. JOHN LETS sworn—To Senator Scott—I am a barrister. I first made purchases on Lake Superior in 1875. 1 bought then at Superior city, near Duluth. I firat bought on the Canada side in 1369, at Prince Arthur’s Landing. The last I bought there was in 1872. I thought it Was possible thnt th* railway would terminate there. I bought at Neebing in 1872. I bought at Fort William in 1873—some lota for myself, and •ome jointly with Davidson. I have no inter­est in the firm of Oliver, Davidson ft Co. I bought with others in 1872 at Sault Sta. Mane, the impression being that tlie railway wonld cross them. I afterwards, in conse­ quence of it being pointed out that Nepigon was one of the bftit harbonrson Lake Supe­rior, applied for land at Nepigon. I found thnt John Shedtlon. who was s fricud of Sir Hugh Allan, had taken up land there, and I found that my friend Senator Aikins had ap­plied for land, and Mr. Stmltan also, who I nmlerstood was a nephew of Senator Aikins. In J874 1 was instmmental, with others, in getting a charter for tho Great North-West Railway Company, which was to run from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg, with Fort William as tho eastern terminus. I ara solicitor for David-uin. I am Solicitor for the Toronto and Nipissing Railway, and have had experience in purchasing the right of way. My coo. struction of the Railway Act that if you took tho whole of a rnairs lot, there was to be set off agiiust tba then value, but if you took a part of a man’s lot. then the increased value of tho remainder of tho lot abonld bo token into consideration. From conversations with Davidson I should think be first learned of the | selection of Fort William as the location of the terminus in the winter of IS74. I should think ho heard of it after January 1st. 1873. I pro lace copy of a map which was filed in the Crown Lands Department on December 12tl>, 1874. I first found that after it hod been tiled, and I told Davidson, who, from his conversation, led me to bclievo that that WM tho first he had heard of It. I do not think Davidson bad a plan before that The deed of the lota ho bought from John Clarke is dated Stat November, 1874. which was sometime bcfo-c Davidson had the map. To Senator Aik ins—I would not swerr that that is an exact copy of tho map Davidson had, hut as I bad a right, under an arrange­ment with htth, tn have a half interest in all the land he bought, I do not think he would have had any map without my knowledge. 1 am not aware of a case in which a higher price WM mentioned in a deed than that actu­ally paid.

It is also a fact that fnrse □ timbers of young farmers ara emigrating this spring from the western Counties of Ontario to tba Western States. While thsse things are stern facts which are staring us ia tho face, it is a sad commen­ tary ou the ability and astuteitesa of onr government that they cannot offer a remedy. It should be tho first object of the govern­ ment to endeavor to retain Canadians, who have already settled, to remain citizens of oar Dominion, instead of placing such em­ bargoes upon the waste and unsettled lands that they are compelled to seek aul find homes in the neighboring Republic instead of in Canada. Yoang Canadians who havo boon brought np in the Dominion and who are thoroughly conversant with the climate, soil and requirements of the country as well as its religions, political and social in- atitnUons ara well fitted to make tba very best citixans and every inducement should bo offered to them in preference.to the foreign element to become residents and land-hold- there is n fair prospect of doing bustaes.', he at once concludes to cast io hia lor with us and becomes a ft How-townsman ; but if tho price is high, Mint is a settlor, nud he makes up bis mind Uilook elsewhere before saddling hims.-lf with obligations which it is only a speculation whether or not he will bo able to fulfill. Although Inger­ soll may not bo worse affected in this re­ spect than other places, yet it is a fact that property which could bavo been sold and improved, if tho price bad been reasonably low, has been huld tor years by speculators who hare been too blind .not only to th eir o wn interest bn I in the interest of tho town .topart 1 vflh jt.

The tempest raised by Howe is still howling, and will, it is thought, soon break out with reiloubled fury ; but just now the nation, through its house of representatives, is pre-occupied with a door keeper. Mr. Polk, the door-keeper of the house, has been brought before a commit­ tee, tried and crucified on the crow of investi­gation, and though at present it looks like tho vid mau will have told go the door, there has nothing been proven against him, but an amiable incapacity to say no, and that be promiaeil places to moro people than there were places to give. If his promises had been fulfilled there would have Iwen three or four deputy door-keeners wrestling with each door of the capital ; doors of all kinds would have been in great demand, and the hum of Indus- tty would have been heard in the lumte-r regions of Michigan and Maine.

The prisoners wer under the effects of intoxteMitg liquors,, and in their draukeu spree they overturned the stov^ in the room where they wuro upon an aged woman lyiug intoxicated be­ hind it. The full particitiara have been published in these Colums before, and it is therefore unnecessary to make any father comments. The jqry considered the kilting «f Aim. McCaskill quite accidental and unintentional, acquited the prisoners.Regina vs. Freeman—Homicide. The prisoner Frorinnn had living with him as wife one Phoebe Ano Joiner, a sister of the deceased, Thomae Joiner, and Thomas wns also living with him, having ns bis wife one Rhoda Ackers. The men had always been on good term’, working together. Oue evening they came homo from work, the deceased being cnnslderaldy under the tinfiuence of l.quor. The prist uer was also intoziccatad. The deceasod seemed to bo laboring under a jealous fuel­ ing toward Erdemau, and wns very violent in his language toward him. Freeman, however, pul u» with it ull, and it was only when deceased struck his sister, who wnsin the position of wife to Freeman, that, in tho moment of passion, lie ran to the door, mid, grasping a u biflietroc,struck Joiner two or tine? times killing him. Tho only evidence pointing towards malice Aad pre intention »■« the fact (hot, ou a dark nit lit like this was.the prisoner should have betn able to lay ids baud on a deadly fa. strument like Iha one used, just retelling, aa I o did, out cf the back door to gel it, and also the further fact that the fastru inent used was not before seen around the nine*, and not belonging t» tho family. London, April 9.—Tho Timet issued n special edition to-night containing the fall text of Gortsobakoff's reply to Lord Salis- bu^'t circular.Gortaaliskoffcontests Salisbury’* asser­ tions point by point, but the gsnersl tone of hi# reply appears to be cnncilatory. Fie denies that the treaty of San Stefano creates a strong Slav State under the con­trol of Russia, and he declares that the a-r ingements relntivo to Bulgaria are only a development of the principle establish* d by the Constantinople Confwntj*. Ha con- tinnea :—■*' Lord Salisbury admits that a return to th" programme of that Confer­ence , pure and simple, is rendered impos- •ihle by tho war. Tho fact that the Ban Stefani Treaty is prolimnary indicates that Russia has prejudged definitive results, and has left room for nn ulterior under­ standing. Bulgaria wilt bo under Russian control no more than Romunuia, which owes its existonc* to Russia. Russia is quite ready to abridge the term of the oc- nnation of Bulgaria as ranch as possible. Tho limits of Bulgaria have only been indicated by general t»rms in accordance with the nationality of the popnlntfon. Tbo details will bo left to a mixed com­mission.” The only object in assigning portsfto Bulgaria is to assist her cotnmercfal devel­ opment, by which England and the Modi, terrenenn powers, whoso commerce Uss al wavs been a powerful lever for their political influence, mo likely to profit far more than Russii. Gorfachnkoff expresw# snniiso at the objection# to tho stipulation* of tho treaty relative tn There ilv and Epirus. By tbo modest reform# stipulated f-r it is intended to ovnid tho appearance of either establish­ ing Russian supremacy on tho one hand or utterly neglecting the Greeks on tho other. Russia did not forbid the Porto to con­sult tho European power# ns well as Russia nn tho reforms for Greek pro­vinces. Thero Is no longer any pretext far de- barring Russia from possession «f Bessnra. bin, AS tho freedom of the Danube is secured by an international commission. OortxchakofTs tone in regard to Armenia is mnoh more energetic, H" says Bstonm is far from equivalent tn tho pecuniary in. demniiv which it represent#. Tho Russian nequisi'ian# in Armenia navo only a defen­sive value. Russia wishes to hold them so ns not to havo to bc»iee« them nt the beginning of each war. These territorial cessions are the natural consequence of the war. If Enelnnfl wished In avert them,she had only to join Russia in exorcising pressure upon the Ports, which would probably have compelled it to grout the reforms without war. Englanl having refused to do. so sho hns now no cronnils to question the right for which Russia sh*d bsr Wood, namely, tbo right to estnldiah a state nt things which will henceforth render such sacrifices unn*cesssrv, or at least, less enormous. The assertion that Russia's an­nexations in Armenia will interfere with European trade wiih Persia conflict with the statement# pr"vi<»n*ly made by British Ministers. Such assertions push mistrust Th* comnlnints concerning indemnity are equallv ill-fonndml. The sum is out of nil proportion to Russia’s sacrifices. In th» deferment of pnvmentofths indemnity it is easier tn s^e a design to keep the Porte nn to its engagements in the interests of nil (han a design to paralyze Turkey, but Ibero is no remedy against snanicinns. Gortschakoff concludes :— The sitnntioQ in*v bo anmmed up tuns:—Th* existing Iron'faa have been siircessively infringed bv the Port* in violating of i»s obligations towards tho Christians, and hv the powers. Lord Salisbury himself recognizes (hat hitherto regnlntin?Evt. wnnjfi reconcile these frenties, nnd recon­ cile the rights of Great Britain and other Powers with the benevolent end to which the united action of Europe has nhvavs been directed.and the attainment of which one learn* with pbasnro the English Gov. ernmanf desires, viz.:—Good government, ponce and lihorty foronnressed populations.

Upon her engage­ment with defendant she gave up her classes and camo to Ingersoll nt—a# she claimed—a yearly engagement at 6'275 per annum. Defendant on the other Land claimed that Che enguxeiueui was a mouth, lyone. Mrs. Mason continued fa her en­gagement ss governess for about two month#, and was then dismissed. The action was brought to recover balance of the yearly salary not paid her. Verdict for plaintiff far 6220—amonnt claimed. Beard, Q.C., for plaintiff; Ball. Q. C., and Tho*. Welle for defendant. PRE8KXTMEXT. The Grand Jury here brought in the pre­sentment. His Lordship, in commenting on the paragraph relating to the condition and convenience of the court room*, said that with one exception—that of Kingston—the court honara in the Province were a dis­grace. He sai I that the Legislature and County Council# could have Lia advice m the matter, which was that new Court House# w«re everywhere required, but lie feared that if the Oxford Council were like their breihern throughout the Province, they would not have a need for a o«w Court House for wine time.

In heavy soila winter wheat often looks yellow in epring, because its roota have perished on account of the access of oxygen haviag-bceu preveuted by the excess of water ia tho soil. The nature of the tillage to be bestowed on different kinds of soil should vary in accord­ ance with^their texture. Recent experiments mads by ProfessorS. W. JOBMBOX, at the Connecticut Agricultural Station, show that while on clayey lands deep tillage ia generally beat—to conserve the water of a loose-text­ ured soil, its main tillage should be shallow, BO that the balk of the earth remains compact enough to hold the rain and to transmit bottom-water steadily, by capillary attraction, from ths subsoil upwards to the.roots of the crops. In such soils the surface only shoo! 1 be loosened whenever jit forme a cruet. For the same reason; summer tillage also, accord­ ing to his deductions, should not extend to the roota except in clayey soils to compel them to develop lower down and nearer the watersup- piy, for in unstirred clay soil they can only penetrate a little way and suffer or perish when drought comes. As with fcrtilixnro, so with tillage, the safest guide is experiment This alone will tell with certainty ths depth and frequency of cultivation that will moat benefit each sort ot erop on all kinds of soil. Careful observation ia the foundation aliko of scientific theory and intelligent practice, and that farmer «ill secure the largest measure of success who most accurately noticea and records for further reference the relations that exist between his land and its produce under various kinds of treatment —Hural 2feu>i Yorker.

Some points in tho following letter from ■ a Glasgow dealer to his correspondent in Utica, New Yo/k, are applicable to the Canadian mautifactnrcrs and should receive careful attention In reply to your inquiry regarding how the olieetB I got from you last year pleased. I am happy to any that with the exception of-one or tao small lota they give great satisfaction, and it’ American cheoae continue to improve as they.did last year, they will soon be favorites in, this .market But there is need that a Ugh standard of quality be aimed at The great objection to American cheese is their wa«4 ot keeping qualities. They come So qsMkly.to maturity that they soon got strong ** Slvor, while the whole public taste is for a m3d solid cheese. Then anothar great 'objection is that a large quantity of States' cheese cut open. If by any means you could get your cheese to keep solid, and mild in Barer, aad not oolorao high, there would be 0 largely increased demanded for them in this ■Biariret There is another thing that you - would require to guard against, and that i* part skimming.
