Ten years later, and Cyril CulverhouFO and hi« wife are still at BridforJ, in tho good old Queen Anne parftonage, not five minutes' walk from the lodging uhoio the two nursing sial, ra came to tend tho fev> r- stricken curate. It is a fine ol 1 hoiise.with red brick walls, deep set windows, oak wainscots, broad Htnircase, and spacious hall pav.d with -black and white marble—a house which, in t ie eye* of previous V i­ cari, has been some compensation for tin- general smokiness and unpleasantness of the town. There ia ft good old gnrd n t-io at the back, which onj would hardly ex­ pect to find in Bridford—a garden where the old apple-trees flourish, and the roses struggle into bloom some’t >w, in spito of the smoke, and where the young Culver­ houses learn th<ir lessons iu summer, un­ der the direction of Mo.l.nua L.-onxr.l, whom they adore. Every July there is a migrttion to theWater House, much to the delight of Mrs. Dulcimer, who spoils Beatrix's children, and believes religiously that she brought abont the match between Cyiil and B-ntrix. • Did I not advise you to go to France after her, Cyril ? ' demands the old lady, triumphantly, ’ and did I not set my heart upon her being Lftdy Culverliouse ? ’ Within the ten years that nre gone Cvril has done a great werk in Bridford. That town is no looser a hot bed fi r the gener­ation of vice, drunkenness and fi-vor. San­ itary reform, being ft thing wit bin the scope of btuusn bimdiwoik. lias bu n doneby lino snd rule, while other reforms rn -re subtle and secret hove lieen going on quiet­ ly aide by side with improvements iu drain­age and ventilation, water service ai.d col­ lage J-w;!Jin». Large resourc s have enab­ led Cyril to do wbat many a paridi priest yearns iu vnin to accomplish. llu has built streets of cottages, a club-house, half a dozen reading rooms, a cott >go hospital ten miles from tlie town, ii-funt nurs«ri<-s in everv district. Instead of the .me hnr-1-worked curate employed I y his predeces­ sor, he bus four energetic young follows go­ ing about all day l< ng among the laboringpoor, ao that there is n>> c -rncr of the crowded town in wbieh the influence of tho church is not dailv felt.a protection against wr-og. a succor in calamity, on incentive to cleanly living. Ouce iu every year, when the spring flowers are bright In the hedge rows, and the oaks are yellow with their unhildedleaves, Sir Cyril and his wife go with their children to Culvorlmuse Castle. This is the happiest time of all the year for Bea­trix and her children—the holiday of Imli- days. They know the country round Cui- verlious* by heart. They nde in tho for- ‘ The mitre's ears. And just as they got on the bridgo over tile creek the mare gtve a tilt to one side, and ns Mrs. Tucker acrenmed, sbo kt drive with both her hind h-gs iiguiust tho carriage.’ ’ Aro you referring to Mrs. Tucker or tothe—’ ‘Kitty, tho mare; and snapped both shafts off short. Tho next moment, before Mrs. Tucker or Bessie could savo them­ selves,ahe went over the side.titruiug a com­plete somersault.' • You arc now speaking of tho mare?’ ‘ Yes; the mnre turned a complete somcr- snu't into tho water. Ono of the traces re­ mained unbroken autl of course, as Kitty went over sbo dragged the carriage afterher, and Mrs. Tucker and Bessie, went floundering in the creek. The mare nt once struck out for shore, and Bcsric,fortunately, had presence of mind enough to grasp her by tho tail. She had bhud staggers, but it had passed off-—’ ’ No, the maro ; and ns she was being towed pnat Mrs. Tnelter, Mrs, Tuckercaught hold of her dress—’ ‘ The mare's dress ?’ ‘ Bessie's dress; and it seemed for aminute that the mnre would bring them safely to land. But Mrs. Tucker's hold on tho mart's tail looeeued somehow, and—' • You said Besrio had hold of tho u.are’s tai).’ ‘ Did I ? W< II, so it was j aud Mrs. Tuc­ker had bold of h«-r dress.' • Whoso dress ?’ ’ Didn’t I say Bessie’s dress! Well,then somehow Mrs. Tucker's bold loosened, and—’ ‘ lit r bold of wbat ?'’ IL-r hold of tho marc's—no I must b" mistaken. Bessie bad bold of the mare'stail, while tho mate was swimming, and Th.it is. Mrs. Tucker had bold of—Well, • Mir . Tncker let go ?' ’ O. I dunno, whoever hntl hold of the tnnro h-t go, and the went to the bottom like n aton*.'• If I follow yon moaning, it was tlie mare that went to the bottom.* • My goodness, man I can’t you under­stand ? It wasu’t tho mate. The rnaie swam nshore.* •What did you gay she went to iboboltuin for, then ?’ Chost Stories, Of all th* abominable practice* of which sensible grown people can be guilty, that♦<f telling ghost stone* to children i* the moat abominable. Tho mr.n who wonld do it ought to be tfo<t up in a dark cellar, mid be danced art nnd by a uoop cf J tck-u’-lanterns till daybreak; nul the woman who would do 11 might to be obliged to forego spring hats and pull-backs, and dress in gboctly whitethe rest of her life. N7ho believes in ghosts? Dr, ei anybody ?Did any person living over bco ono, with­ out the help offinngiuntioD ? Children** minds are nnw—they easily recrivo impres-ion*, and first impressionsnre listing. What unimaginnble terrors the poor little things hnvefeuffered through the iudisen tion cf tln-ir ciders in repeating before them f ouio ciily story in which a ghost figured.They learn to bo afraid of the dark. They will nut go to bed without s*me one to sit beside them until ekep comes, lestthe ghost tuny put in an appearance. And if they wake in the night they cover their heads iu the bedclothes, and lie still and tremble and sweat, and wish they could ■henr somebody's rooster crow, so that they could bn sure morning was coining.Grown people ttimighth ssly repeat stories of tho stiprr natural, and descant upon sign', before children, never dreaming of the trouble mid dtstresa they are causing. Not long ago, a sweet littlo girl catqe to mo with tears.in her eye* and terror on herface, and io trembling t >ues avk- d iu» if we believi-d that breaking a louking-glass was a sign of death. Upou questioning her, she tedd us with a ureat deal of evident distress that she hadbr >ken a mirror, and that her annt told her it was a sure sign of death in th* fam­ ily. anil the poor child’s nearest relativebeing n dearly beloved mother, her fears had turned to her, snd she was well-nigh distracted nt the thought of losiug her. Shehad not slept the whole night before, she said, snd we mentally wished that wo had the poweg to put that idiotic eld sunt int* a straight jacket, and feed her on bn-ken loo ing-eiasses "till the day c f P. utecort.” Ono sign we b-lieve in sincerely—whenyou find a p>-rs->n who is continually croak- iug abont this thing and that thing a sign c-f coining misfortune or death, it is 3 sure sign that tbeto is something lucking about tho mind of that particular person. Can any reasonabl*-, sensible man or wo­man believe that if God was about to take us hence. He would cause us to brenk alooking-glass in order to warn us ? Would He send u« an intimation of wbat was com­ ing by the tick of an insect in the wall ? or the crowing of a brokcu-up setting hen onthn door-step ? L-t us bo done with such absurdities! Life u too real, too earnest, to be fooled□ wav in rack nnnn'r as this. Let the Other w< rl | alone ? God will take caro of it. If He find designed ns to know aboutit, tbiugs would have been arranged so that we c ull have understood without the agency of tabla fippings, bdl ringings and the waving of spirit hands through cabinetscurtained with gre*n cambric, and made to conceal "presences” who aro engaged in the business which most cf this world's people follow—making money. But tet us intreat you—whatever absur­ dities of ghost and spirit conversations youmay indulge in let it not be before children —for you may mako them unhappy, and plant within them the germs of a super- uatnra! fear, which will torment them all through life. ba* such ritspact and veneration, h** btcos* itnerUliz-.'f- md will )*e r .-prxtcd just M LtW m wbat are termed "Th* Rautiojtou* ** are floating about tb* markets .f London and other citiaa «f Grerat Britain ; th* Htrotln’- tons ” being th* mm* give* to certain "Cop­ par a d Sulphur Pyrite* ” stock wfai-b b*a» bean floating ab»nt in that country for th* pant few year*, almost valaekaa, while tf* promoter* of the scheme, the principal of whom wm the Don.

Mr. Gray concluded by secrtndiug the motion for the adoption oftl-e report. ’’ The chairman referred to the pro*pectuaof the company, and said that he. and some, it not all of hi* co-directers, were influenced 1 ythat prospectus. One day in the Exchange hemet a director, whom he would not name, andsaid to him — ’ Mr. So-and-so, J am astonished to see the Huntingtons going down ; how isthat 1' and tho reply w m—‘ Well, I cannotunderstand it. for there are £5O.OO3 worth i.f ore lying at the mouth of the mine.* That£60.1)00 worth of ore had turned out not to boworth a single penny." And this Mr. Huntington, whose name fathus dragged before the London world, ia thaPostmaster-General of Canada, and talks moatvirtuously about corruption and morality.

But it did make a difference. It made jnst the diff-renee between the young car­penter having a steady, aummerjob, at good wages, aud Laving the time uqo$eq- pied on his hnudr. The employer found no other fault ; bnl when the gate was finished, he paid tha maker, without another word, and dk-rnisecd him. The nest day there was sr.- other man in his place. He happened to hj a man who thought it did make a Jiffcrencahow everything was dona ; he always did his best ; and he kept Lis situation to thoend of the s.ason, 60 it hanpsns. Frequently some Hull thing, which was not expected to attract attention, is noiic^d by some one to whomthe excellence of the work baa commended itself, and the man who has made pains­ taking the rule of all his labour is surprise Iby a sudden and unlooko-1-for acc^s-ion of good fortnue.

Tho commercial policy of the Oppo­ sition w represented tn die following resolution raovetl by Sir John Mac­ donald in the House of Commons — "That this House is of opinion that thewelfare ot Uausds requires the adoption of aNstioasl P«ticy, which by a judicious resd- jurimvnt of tho Tariff will benefit and fosterths Agricultural, the Mining, the Manufactur­ing sod other interests of the Domiaioa; thatsuch a policy will retain in Canada thousaudi of our felluweoanbyuMii, now obliged toexpatriate themselves iu search of employ­ment denied thorn at h<Aie; will restoreprosperity to our struggling industries, sow ao sadly depressed; will prevent Canada frombciug made a sacrifice market; will enconrsgcaud develop an active interprovincial trade ; and moving (as it ought to do) in the directionof th* reciprocity of Tariffs with our neigh­bors, so far a* the varied intercsU of Canadamay demand, will greatly tend to procure for this Country, eventually, a reciprocity ofTrarte.” ) Some ibxa of th* used of money io tbe ' yellow fever stricken portion* of tbe South is obtainable from the fact that it costs from $1,506 to ?2,000 a day to pay the ex­ penses of lhe nursM and physician* sent out by tbo Howard Association. This As- ' -seciation appears to be tbe only organiza­ tion ready to me«i the emergency, audit ia unquestionably doing a good wdric. It ought not to lack for funds. An abate­ ment iu the ravages -of the disease is re­ ported from Grenaia, apparently from an exhaustion of material.' In oth?r place* it goo* on, aud continue* to spread to the conntry towns. The death rate in New 1 Orleans ksep* np its average of about 50 per day. Tni New England Farmer »ays:—“ It is estimated that ths wheat crop will ag­ gregate 407,000,000 bushels, against 825,- 000,000 lost year. Of th* crop last year, 100,000,000 bushel* were exported, leaving 225,000,000 for Ixmm consumption aud seed. After naklag all due allowances, there will be eoraethiug over 187,000,000 for export—double th* average export for tbe last do ten years, and in excess of the largest export by 80,000,000 bushels. The prospect now is that the foreign demand will hardly require the whole of oar sur­ plus, and therefore low prices for grain and cheap bread for consumer* wi'l b* the rule."

LETTER FROM PARIS__XX. ®bc ©rforb ®ibmu, WEDNESDAY, A 'GUST 28, t878, In consequence of having received a telegraphic despatch announcing the nom­ ination of her Excellency's second son to a naval cadetship, the Countess oi Duflrrin proposes to return to England n«xt Sat­ urday. Col. Littleton, who goes homo on leave, accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. Lit­ tleton, will sail in the same ship. South Bbuce must bo saved for Mr. B ase, aud it is Hooded with eloquence in tLo persons of tbo Ontario Premier and Provincial Secretary, Brother Boyd and Hugh McMahon, John Charlton, Thomas Oliver, aud David Mills. Tbo shameless conduct of Ontario Ministers will.no doubt, mee t with a fitting reword. Tue Chicago Journal notices the grow­ ing tecdeucy at the West to favor prolce- t.ou in tariff legislation. In 1870, the de­ legations from the eight Western Statescost of the rocky mountains stood 22 for protection. 26 for free trade, aud 16 for moderate protection. In the present dele­ gations from the same Slates, 64 ere for piotccjfon, 27 for free trade, and 8 doubt­ ful. The development of manufactures at the West expliaus the change. The Peobia, 111., Gaeelle tuys:—“ Can­ adian emigrants are plentiful iu the West this season. They arc taking up large tracts in Southern Illinois, and are mostly fanner's sous—the best class ot settlers." It is sad to see our young men leaving u* to be ruiued by Protection to agricultural interests. By the way, bow many Ameri­ can fanners' sous hare taken up laud in Ontario Ibis season to enjoy tbe blessings of one-sided Free Trade ? It 18 rumored that MacMaboa may re­ sign the Presidency of the French Repub­ lic in October. His term extends till 1880. but a Republican Republic does not suit the Marshal nor (what is of more cense* queue*) his wife. Besides, it is expected that tbo elections in the departments this full will wipe out the Conservative majority in the Senate, so that the Legislature will bo entirely in the bands of the Republic- aus, and small comfort will remain for Monarchists or Imperialists. Oub Fbes Tkade friends who are im- , pressed with the idea that there is some- , thing terribly wicked and wrong about the j idea of a retaliatory tariff, and who think , that our present policy, preventing as it 1 does the building up of inter-provincial < trade, is do injury to Canada, are respect- I fully asked by the National to peruse what ' was the opinion of Hon. George Brown on < these subjects, as expressed by him during 1 the debate cn Confederation iu 1863. It ' will be found on page 105 of tho official re- ’ port of tbe debates : Mr. Brown said, “ I will not detain the ' House by reading it, but any member who desirescan have it for examination. I may state, however, in brief, that in that year the breadstuff* alone bought by the Lower Provinces amounted to no less than $4,447,- 207—that the import of meats, fresh and cured, nm^uuled to 1059,917—and that the total value of products which the Lower Provinces might have bought more advan­ tageously from us, summed up to over seven millions of dollars. (Hear, Lear.) The AmeriAine must, therefore, bear in wind, that if they abolish the Reciprciity Treaty, they will not only lose that seven millions which they now leeeive for their products, but lhe the'carrying trade which goes with it. But on the other hand, when we have this union, these products will, a* they naturally should, go down the St. Lawrence, not only for the advantage of our farmers—but swelling the volume of our own shipping interests. (Hear, hear.) Th* Americans, hitherto, have bad a large portion of our carrying trad* ; they have brought us onr goods—even our European goods—and taken our produce not only to Europe but even to the Lower Provinces; and I say one of the best features of this union is, that if in our commercial rela­ tione with the United Slatee we are com­ pelled by them to meet fire by fire—it will enable us to stop this improvidence and turn ths current of our own trade into our own water*. Far be it from me to bav I an> an advocate of * coercive commercial policy—on the contrary, eutire freedom of trade in my opinion, is what we in this country should strive for. Without hesita­ tion, I would, to-morrow, throw open the whole of our trade and the whole of our water* to the United States if they did the tame to ut. But, if they tell us, in the face of all the advantages they get by Recipro­ city, aud they a.*o determined to put a atop to it, and if this is done through a hostile feeling to us—deeply <• I should regret that this should be the first use made by tho Northern States of tlltir found liberty—then, I say we have a policy and a good policy of our owu, to fall back upon." A cqbresfondent writing to tbe Goder­ ich Star wys “ For S100 r^r »125, as th* ease may be, we have a suite of bedroom furniture mad* of bird's-eye maple ; the wood in many ease* shipped from Canada iu the rough, at a first cost of not to ex­ ceed |2. This, polished up iu a foreign country, is returned to ours, with an addi­ tional charge for tabor of from $50 to 1100; aud we export our good $100 or $125 cash for it, tho only thing remaining in the country being 16 or 17} per cent, collected on lhe valuation dictated by ths -shipper for purpose* of custom* duty." The Hox. D. Mil ls, and Mr. G. W. Bom have each paid tfouth Oxford a short flying visit, ostensibly for the purpose ef aiding Cui. Skinner iu his eaudidature. It may be true enough that has been tbair object.

W bl ■!»< Las d ue in day* gone by why On the 17th of next month the people of this Dominion will be called upon to de­ cide the question a* to whether Canada shall be one van farm for tbe raisng of grain and aerials for the consumption of more populous manufacturing countries, or whether she would not prefer to establish within her boundaries a diversity of inter- •bL* which would be wealth-producing and sslf-sustaining, if, during their infancy .they were protected against th* inroad* «f for­ eign competition and strangulation. The trade question has been laid before th* country during lhe past few mouths in a uiauuer which must bava'made it plain to lhe most obtuse and cursory observer, aud in thej South Riding of Oxford tbe National Policy ba* been must carefully and intelli­ gently expounded by Mr. Gibson. On no single occatiun where be has been met with opposition on the platform, Lave bis op­ ponent* been able to break down the argu­ ment* advanced by bim, nor hav* they been abl* to substantiate or to vindicate th* position of thus* at present in power, in their do-no tiling inertne** iu the present depressed condition of trad* in the coun­ try. With the lise of duly so clearly laid down w* feel th*t th* elector* have a very plain duty to perform. Mr. Gibson offer* hirnMlf as a candidate pledged to do all in his imwer to briug about a policy which will stimulate th* manufacture of tlw raw material* which w« grow and produce into th* finished article* *f commerce.

This company ha*driven Swiss watches out of the American > market#; it competes with English makers,aad is now about entering the list* with theSwiss firms that monopolize the watch tradet in France. , The most recent improvement in the productiou of shaded tmu iu the flower* and ■ patterns, giving them tho relief of a picture,i 1’his effect is produced by varying the applics-tion of the two stitches u»ed in making theflowers—the '•toile," which forms the close t tissue, aud the "grille,” employed tn the r more open part of the pattern. The #v»tem. ia succesffully applied to the laces of France that it has been adapted with the greatestI »u»xeM. There is a legend regarding tbe introduc- | .‘ion of this mauufacture into Flanders. AnoiNrty »triken but pious young girl wasdy-ig v'lfove for a young man who^e wealth , preclu-led .Nil hope* of marriage. One night,si she s*t wc.'piug at her sad fate, a beautifullady eutered the cottage, and without saying i a word placed on her knee a green cloth[ cushion, with it* bubb'u* filled with the tine. thread which ou antuu.n evening* float in tho sir, and which the people -oall "file de laVierye.” The lady though of i •’mantio bear- i ing» w u » practical manufacturer. 8ho satdown in silence and with her nimble linger#' taught tho unhappy maiden how to mak« all I aorta of patterns and complicated stitchea. J.e, daylight approached the maiden had learned,her art, and tho mysterious visitor disap (leared. The price of lace soon made the poor* girl rich. She married the man of her cheice,, aud, aurronnded by a largo family, lived happy and rich, for she had Lept tho secretfor herself. Ono evening when tho little* folk were playing round her knee, by tho fire- | aide, and her husband sat fondly watching theI happy group, t le lady suddenly made berap-|>earauco among them. Her bearing was dis-• taut, she iceruoJ stern and sad, and this time , addressed her protege in a trembling voice."Here,” ihe said, “you enjoy peace andabundance, while without arc famine and trouble. I helped you; you have not helped. your neighbors. The angel# weep for you and f turn sway their faceA" So tbe next day thewoman arose, and, going forth with a green i cushion and its Irabbins in her hand#, went (from cottage- to cottage, offering to all whowould l>e taught to instruct them in tho art she had herself miraculously learned. 8o theyalso became rich, and Belgium became famon*| for this manufacture. A bibLcal curiosity in the English section,which sttract# crowds, is the model of theI Tabernacle aa it existed during the wander-, icg of the Israelites in tho Desort. The ex­terior ami interior of tbe tabernacle, are faith­ fully constructed according to the details givenr in tte OU Testament. Compliments are very, justly made at the slowness connected withthe opening of the Historical Portrait Gallery; it would be better to return the pictaree totbeir owners, rather than preserve them likeold lumber, or aa the official portraits ofLouis ITulfippe, Louis Napoleon, and other Lumae*. stored sway in tbs attke of the■ mayoralties, along with streamers for loyal r stmiverssrirw.

Mr. Mills* therefore, after coming to addreaa a meal­ing oomuoaed entirely of Grits, with th* expectation of pulling through with no •n* to oppose bis ttao.te*, and thus sus­tain bis reputation a« a statsaman and an orator, as represented by She Grits, was afraid that be would be at the and By some nreau* altogether unexpected ( by the Grits n goodly number of the sup- (porters of Mr. Gibson, and that gentleman i himself, became aware on Thursday last , that a meeting wm to b* held at Mt. Elgin (that evening in the interests of Col. Skin- (uer, and that that gallant officer and tbe I Hon. David Mills would address the elec- 1 tors. Mr. Gibson at ouee conoludod iu bis ' own mind that it would not do to allow even so great a man m the Hon. David to i stand before a body of South Oxford elec- ‘ tors aud for several hours to cram them 1 with lhe foolish theories which are being continually hurled at the people of this , country hy the Free Trade party, without an attempt being mods to prevent them from being imposed upon—consequently he decided on Leing present, as a speaker. , The mere expectation of an addreM from Col. Skinner was quite enough to decide ' his (Mr. G.’sj mpporters on being present, us hearers. To* crowd w m a fair one m regards numbora**but we have no hesita­ tion in saying that hod the Conservative* had tbe aame opportunity m the Grit* of becoming aware that ths meeting wm to be held, the number of Mr. Gibson's sup­ porters would have been greatly increased. As it was, however, they were as three to one, and the Colon*! anu the Hon. David, who had no reason to expect that a “ Tory" would be within reasonable hearing dis­ tance, owing to the means taken to pre­ vent them from having any knowledge '.I tbe meeting, were apparently thunder­struck at tbe sight of the crowd, and great­ ly affected at the appearance of Mr. Gibson iu their midst, who they knew would knockdown their shanties quicker than they could build them, aud to the entire satis­ faction, too, of any crowd that would con­sent to bo convinced with convincing ar­ guments. Tbe Town Hall was found to be too small, and it was decided to hold themeeting in the open air. Tbe evening was very pleasant, and the decision was hearti­ ly seconded by all. Mr. T. B. Bain, of Til-sonburg, was appointed to tbe chair, which ho occupied with satisfaction to lhe au­ dience, making it a point from the com­mencement to give fair play to both sides, which it was seriously thought from tbo re­ marks of tbe Colonel and Mr. Mills wasnot intended to have been allowed. When Mr. Bain took his position, Mr. Gibson wk- ed what arrangement would be made m totime to be occupied by tbe speakers, stating that be being a candidate be considered it his right to have the same time allowedbim us Mr. Mills. Strang* to say this fair : ami reasonable demand almost staggered tbo Col. and some few of his friend*. This’ proposition which had always been custom­ ary iu tbi* County, and known to be eo by f every elector since be first attended a po‘-, itical meeting, was considered by tho Col. 1 (and Mr. Mills too) as a piiceof itupertii.* ones on the part of Mr. Gibson. But their> pretending to believe snob a thing would not make a solitary one ef tho crowd be-I lieve Mr. Gibson had desired or asked for anything that was not entirely right and' honorable, and they so expressed tbem- r selves ; and when tho Chairman also con- I sidered that Mr. Gibson was asking no­ thing mors than lisd always been granted'f by both side* in all previous.and even here- i toforointhe present contest, and stated that so long as ho occupied the chair alli should have fair play, tbe point wn* settled ; by agreeing that Mr. Mills should “ talk a* ; long a* be wished," and Mr. Gibson might1 have tbe same time. This wm hardly a ’ fair settlement after all, as, if Mr. Mills ‘ were a speaker capable of pleating an and-1 ience for five or six hours or more, as many ’ are, and if he were tricky enough to doit, the hour might have become so late beforeMr. Gibson conld have commenced to say anything that an audience conld not ba ex­ pected to remain. Many men who are ca­pable of •' talking against time," if placed iu a similar position wenld have taken ad­ vantage of tbe “ slip in tbe agreement"which Mr. Gibson allowed without objec­ tion, probably knowing the weaknesses of Mr. Mills. And then, in addition, '• tbecandidate" wanted to make a “ speech"— just a short one—aud he wanted bi* say first, which was agreed to.Col. Skinner, on rising—at liis own meet­ ing, called in expectation that a good crowd of bis own friends wonld be presentand no •• Tories," held, too, in, if not the the strongest, at lenstone of th* strongest, Grit polling division* in lhe Riding—wasreceived very cooly indeed, and the cool­ ness of lhe crowd showed itself toward him all through his " speech." He went on,however, telling the audience that he w m no speaker, a remark quite unnecessary, and which he repeated several times, inthe fear, probably, that soma one might have thought h» wm, and wonbl ask bim to give his idea* on the trade question.He gave it to a portion of th* pre**, and the “ backers " of Mr. Gibson tremendously hard- They had vilified and abused himin a diAgraceful manner—in fact he bad been, s.ice his nomination, tbe most abused man tl>** ever lived. He and Mr. Gibson had cou’" tn an understanding thatth* contest should be carried on ia a gentlemanly manner, and b* was pleased to say that so far as him.,<‘lf »od Mr. G,were concerned it had beau .But tbe ••backers" of Mr. G. bad been so con tioually lying abont him that it took a!!hi* spar* tims to follow th* slander* and squash them. He would not do a meanthing, even to gain an election. He hud been a perfectly independent man in the House. H* had supported Sir John A.Macdonald in more than on* instance,when tbe Government were bound to do wrong, and he would do so again uponevery *uob occasion, if elected. He bad been elected to giva th* Maokenaie Govern­ ment an independent support. He baddone so, and would promise to do so again. As Mr. Mills had ooms to addressthe electors on the trade qnestion, and ae tbs Co), evidently knew vsry htils about it, and was by this time very anxious tobe through with his say, and be relieved from the perilooe potitioa be occupied, tbeColonel then slated again that be bad nut spoken for some months, and wm nospeaker anyway, and be would give wayto tbe Hon. Mr. Milla, who wonld address them on Free Trade and Protection.Quielnes* reigned at the eloea of the ths eyes of th* electors of South Oxford, , ai he' really did eventually find himself, iMr. Milla spoke about two hoars, long < before the end of winch time be bad tired ithe crowd to such a degree tost very fewremained to listen to him, and when Im i did get through a great relief was felt bya I. At tbe prospect of hearing tlie Op- i position candidate the crowd again gathered about tho staud.Mr. Gibson followed for two hours, When he rose it was not difficult to see tbe feeling* of the people present. Theenthusiasm shown when compared with that at any time previously during the meeting was as real to sham. He wascontinually greeted with cheers through­ out his address, and there was no dispoei- ion shown on tho paitof the crowd at anytims to leave Aim standing talkiux to him­ self. True, as at all meeting* of lhe kind, there were a few over-Eealous paitiBauswho occasionally interrupted him, bntibis is to be expected on both sides. H* gave a clear explanation of the NationalPolicy, and many arguments in favor of it, which have been gained by experience— not theory or prophecy. He, from book*usued by Mr. Milla' own Government, showed the inaccuracies stated by Mr. Mills and others. Ho showed the extra­vagant expenditures of th* present Govern­ ment as compared with the lai* oneHe held more than his own with Mr. Mills, which was admitted by all present who cared to speak their honest convic­tions. The Hon. gentleman from Bothwell then replied, but few remained to listen. The meeting, which was a very orderlyone for an out-door political gathering,was then brought to a close. The Honourable David Mills, the great philosopher aud chief oi all Canadian freetraders, has come and gene, and tbe im­ pression he has left upon tbe minds of thosewho have heard him in thia Biding is not very Haltering to his oratory or the wan­ derful knowledge we have beard *o muchabout. As a debater he is far below therank of Mr. Gibson—the gentleman whom the Grit* are so pleased to ridicule. Ifthe hon. gentleman is a sample of th* great men who run the Government of this coun­ try, then we do not hesitate to declare thatthey are a much inferior lot of men to the leaders of the Opposition. He i* dry and monotonous, anc, if we are to judge by bisspeech at Mt. Elgin, he is perfectly incapa­ ble of interesting an audience for any length of time. Under all lhe circumstance*—tbeattempt to prevent Mr. Gibson and his sup- sorters from all knowledge of tbs meeting, tbo attempt to prevent bim from epeaking,bi* splendid speech in opposition to what was supposed to be one of lhe biggest gun* in the Grit ranks, the great enthusiasm withwhich he was received—it would be affec­ tation on the part of Mr. Gibson were he to pretend that he was not eery particularlypleased with tbe meeting at Mt. Elgin ia his opponent's interest. His friend* are ex­ ceedingly pleased at carrying a Grit meet­ing, in a Grit stronghold. WHO IS THE *• STRETCHER^' Letter from Hon.D.L.Macpheraon. To lhe Hon. George Brown, Editor andMan. Director of the Toronto Globe. Sib,—My attention bo* been called to the following sentence in an editorial para­graph which appeared in tbe Globe of Thursday last: •* As to Senator Macpher­ son, as a stretcher be rivals Tupper."I am not aware that you ever convicted Dr. Tupper of •' stretching,'' and I am quite sura that abl* and highly gifted manwas never guilty of inteuti-inal misrepre­ sentation. But where a damaging state­ ment cannot be refuted it i* doubtless oftenconvenient, if not honest, to dispose of it by a •• stretch " aud call it a “ stretcher.” Your obvfou* intention in referring tom* was to cost doubt npou tbe correctness of the statement* rotating to tbe increased public expenditure by the present Govern­ment which I have submitted from time to time to the public—most recently during my late visit to the Co inty of Bruce. Ifthese statements contain inaccuracies, 1 should like the errors to be pointed out spe­ cifically. The detail* were taken from thepublic accounts. If this is true, if items are not included, except such as ar* in the public account*, it follows there cannotpossibly be exaggeration or stretching in tbe statement*. Item* were no doubt over­ looked, and omitted, and the truth under­stated. That was almost unavoidable when the researches were so intricate and multiform, but these omissions were to theadvantage of the Government; whatevermay be the sum of them, to that extent I have understated the amount of the expen­diture for which lhe present Governmsat is responsible. To *et at rest once and for all the question of accuracy, and to deter­ mine whether I am corrector ths Minister*of the Crown, who have impugned my statements, I made the follewing proposi­tion when speaking on the 25th of Junelast at Kincardine “ What I have stated to yon touching the{□creased expenditure is taken from thepublic scconuta It is nuseemly to baremember* of the Government sod myself stand­ ing before the public, tbe one denying whatthe other auerts. T<> putan end tothoM chargeeof misstatement and to stop recrimination, 1 am perfectly willing to Ivaw the audit of mystatement* to gentlemen who are qualified forthe work, and who are strictly non partisan. I will name the General Manager of the Bankof Montreal, Mr. Angus ; the General Mana-ger of the Merchants' Bank, Mr. Hague ; thsGeneral Manager of the Canada Life Inaur- anc* Company, Mr. Ramsay, and ths GeneralManager of the Permanent fjoan and Saving*Company, Mr. Mason. 1 am willing to tears it to any two or three of these gentlemen tosay whether my statement* are eorroct or not.(Prolongedcheering.) If it were a matter of politic*, the gentlemen would not act, but itis not. They weald simply have to deal withmatters of account, to see whether such of my stateineat* a* the Government may questionare correctly from th* puHie accounts. Twoor three of my statement* are ••Umates, butall the others are from public accounts. Un­less the Government are willing to com* be­ fore ths tribunal I here suggest*!, and provethat my statements are incorrect, let themforever be Silent upon tbe subject of ium cura­ cies, so far as I am concerned, sad unlass theybe sitent, I bops that fair minded people willnot listen to them until they aooept my chal­lenge. (Renewed cheering.)" I think you will admit that a tribunal of audit could not be eompoead of gentlemenof higher character or better qualified for the work, being, aa they are, axperta in matter* of account, and in politic* non-pertiseo. Tbe member* of ths Gorornment hav*not accepted my challenge. Mr..Mack*mie stated at a public meeting last year that Ibero was " a faleebood on every page'* ofmy first pamphlet. Ona would have atippoesd that ha wonld tranehflMDt which I aceuee it member* of having violated* I will epitomise tbe etate-monte which I ehaltenge you to disprove. TbMr era as follow*, namely That tbo expenditure for salaries andeontkweucies of tbe Public office* aU Otta­ wa mmI for Legialation for the three yoani, 1876-78-77, under Mr. Mackenzie, wae |1,800,718 more than th* same services cost for tlie three year* 1870-71-72, under Sir1 Jobs Macdonald. That the rontinganciaa and general expenses ot the Department at , Ottawa and of (lie House of Commons fortbe same period were increased under Mr. , Mackenzie's Government $204,116, and that the amount paid extra clerks during lhe m at period was increased from $16^29to 1100,709. That th* salaries of Mr. Maokenaie andbis Cabinet for five years, from November, 1878, to November, 1878, will exceed lhe salsrie* of Sir Juba Macdonald and hisCabinet fur the five years anterior to 1878 $161,000, and that Mr. Mackenzie's per­ sonal emolanenla are $8,400 a year more ayear more than those ot Sir John Mac­ donald were before 1878.

That at theMontreal Custom House alone, where the revenne was $1,145,744 less in 1877 thanin 1878. th* eoat of collecting it iu 1877 was $80,256 more than in 1873, and that if the revenue had been collected at Montreal in1877m economically as in 1873 the country wonld Lava saved $50,362. That iu New Brunswick th* Casto m* revenue between 1873 ard 1877 fell off$165,2'20, yet that tbe incrtMed cost < ff collecting tbe diminished revenue in 1877 was $2*2,818, and that if the New Bruns­wick Customs revenue had been collected in 1877 as economically a* in 1878 the country would have saved $82,893 in that1 Province. That the per oentage of cost of ’ collecting th* Customs revenue of the Dominion increased from 4.88 per cent, in1873 to 5.75 per cent, in 1877 : at Montreal 1 tbe increase was from 1.75 per cent.in 1873' to 3.80 in 1877 ; and in New Brunswick[ from 5.08 per cent, in 1873 to 8.90 in 1877.1 That if the Excise revenue haul been col­ lected in 1877 as economically m in 1378L the country wonl l have saved $23,861. ’ That tbe per capita cost of immigrants* who came tn by the ports of tbo Dominion 1 —who were tbe only ones iudneed to come through tbe agency of tho Immigration’ Department—increased from $7.76 in 1873 ■ to $27.04 in 1877. That the expenditure for t«l*grapliiug’ increased under the present Government I (a portion being actually charged t* Capi­ tal) ; tbe averago for years 1874-5.6,7 was$33,498, while tho average for 1872-3 was only $24,870. , That the loss of tho steel rail speculation,, with interest and extra charges, will be in n the neighbourhood of $*2,000,000. That there was a surplus of revenue over. expenditure every year from Confederation to the end of the financial year 1874-5 ; that these surpluses amounted in the aggre­gate to $12,010,708 notwithstanding that taxes estimated to yield $2,000,000 were re­ mitted in 1871 »od 1872.That the deficits for 1875-76 and 1875 77 amounted to $3,704,403 (including the cooked item $343,591 for tbe lutercolonalrailway renewals). That there was expen­ ded in 1874. on works not commenced in 1873, $8*27,552, in 1875,on works not com­menced in *73, $208,546, in 1876, on works not commenced in 1873, $556,596, and in 1875 and '76. on works nut commenced in1874, $621,669. That the increased annual controllable expenditure since 1873, for which th* pre­sent Government is responable, is $2,800,- 000, as per table in pamphlet containing my speeches in Bruce, psgu 14. That th*annual amount forinlerrst on public debt, management of debt and sinking fund, was increasd between 1873 and 1877 by theenormous sum of $2,03'2,812. That the estimates of lhe Minister ofFinance set forth in hi* Budget Speeches of 1874 and 1875 proved alarmingly fi»l- teeions. That for the three years, forwhich we have returns down to 80tli June, 1877, the revenue was $5,704,424 less than he estimated. That for th* some periodhe estimated that there would be an an- nual surplus of $1,000,000,instead of which there have been two deficits, ths discre­pancy between estimate and result in thia case being $5,768,769. That ha estimated having an annual increase for 1874 of II,-000,000 in the Government savings banks, instead of which those deposits in 1875-6-7 were less than in 1874, the discrepancybetween estimate and result being $4,460,- 383.

That the Minister ofFinance, in a speech delivered at Lindsay on 29th May test, fell into an error of aoless than $1,460,000. That you yourself in tbe Senate last ses­ sion,according to the report of your speech,industriously distributed in Bruce by a Government contractor, understated tbs amount of tbe expenditure for contingen­cies at Ottawa, omitting altogether those of ths House of Commons ; that you stated th* contingeneie* for 1871-2, '72-3, *73-4were 1565,270, and for 1874, 75-6, 76-7, 1588,784, white the correct amount* w*re, for 1871-2, 72 8, 78 4.11,079.689. and for1874-5, 75-6, 76-7, |1,160,751. That yon stated that ths per capita coat of immigrants in 1876 was 14.08, which upon tbe expend­iture of the Department would give up­ ward* of 61,000 immigrants a* th* num­ber who landed in the country, whereas the official return* show that only 6,783 en­ tered from the sea.

Ctovm as M xnukk. —Speaking of the farm of HomGoorge Geddes, Fair Mouut,N.Y.,the County Gentleman says: "Tho .twenty, acre field whick was cultivated for70 years without barn manure, and, which continued to yield heavy crops during all this period, was treated w ith an application of yard manure a few years since, not from any necessary for it, but Irfwause there happjned to bo a surplus near at liaud.MrGedde« thinks it caused some increase in tho luxuriance of tho crop, i ni lie n il prefers, as a matter of u;mony, tiio practice of plowing in clover. A mass of the stem and loaves copious enough to fill the furrow, he fimb more valuable thav any com iuuii coat of yard m.inun'i while the roots orc not only a valuable part of the crop, but they serve as an efficient loosener of tho soil All ths manure ms de on tho form, is however carefully saved aud added as a useful auxilary in inaKuining tho fertility »f i.i-lail." Gbiut AMKnrcAX STRAwnxnv. — We hal looked fur much from this much talked of berry, and have, as our readers well know often alluded to it in those columns, it provetl, however, with us of medium tizc and pjar flavor; and many of whom wo have inquired speak of i‘ in likt term*. Mr Idell, whoso exporicuuris of value, stteaks of it in the American Rural Home as follow#." 1 am t aware that many fruit growers arc anxious to learn of the success of the Durand Seeding Strawberries in our market this srason. The ■Great American’ was grown by several jtartiis aud they were all well please 1 with it. A. soon as it appeared it sold for sixty cents a quart, fell to foity cents, then, as it became better known, advance to seventy-five cents jwr quart, There were three well known dealers who sold them, and all speak very highly of their size and firmness."

If the broor.1 chamber is full of honey, it should bo removed from a few of the central frames with tho extractor, in order to give the queen roum fur brood. The open­ ing of hives and the removal of surplus honey should be done at night, in tho early morn, or on a cold day. Surplus honey should Lo kept in a cool, dry place. Examine tho boxes and sections occa­ sionally ; and if any moth worms arc found, remove and destroy them. Extracted honey may be kept in barrels, wooden vata or tins ; the barrels or vats should bo coated with wax to prevent leakage. CMushodld be taken not to expose the honey tu start robbing. The entrance to weak colo- nius should bo contracted, to enable them to de' "fend themselves from robbers. By the hat of August buckwheat will have come in; ‘wxes par.ly tilled should be removed and extracted i o ore that, so as not to have tho honey mixed.
